PASTORAL TALKS.

Detain tsd A-thelsm. An Abi Sermon Preached Recently, by Professor Swine of Chicago. Cod way b all In II.-1 Corinthiana xr, 2. Each age ta its own peculiar form of belief and distrust. Our period is, perhaps, making more mquiry than any other period over the radical question of the existence of a God. It is not satisfied by the intellectual exercise afforded by the discussion of mere superficial problems, such as whether there is a Trinity or an inspired volume or a divinity founded church a form of surmise, where two sides quite meet the demand of old doubter and disputants. As man has become of late years bolder and more intense, and, perhaps more coldly logical, he raises a deeper question, "Whether there is a Creator, a personalGod?" There are not many atheists, for it is not the principle of the mind to affirm boldly that there is no such, First Cause; but there is a !arge number of men, young and old, and -women, too, who are learning to speak without confidence and with reluctance regarding that lieing wnom the soul cee clearly as the Heavenly Father. It U, perhaps, impossible to be fully an atheist. A mind may be an Abolitionist or a Republican or an aristocrat, or a tariff advocate, or a setuea peliever in free trade, but it can not 60 easily become settled down in an atheism, simply because the evidence that there is no God can not by any possibility bo gathered up and weighed. If there be any defect in the evidence then there must be to that degree a wavering in the judgment. Rationally, atheism is impossible, but practically as a dominant thought casting its influence, its shadow over the life and thoughts and feelings, atheism is only too possible in our humble earth. The pulpit has no special magic or marvelous charm by which it can compel mankind to believe in a Creator. Man can not create arguments; he must simply collect them. Hence all the pulpits on earth, pagan and Christian, can not fabricate an argument that will compel'.humanity to say, "Yes, there is a God," for the argument is furnished by nature in its fulness or defects, and all the logicians in the world can not add to what nature has said, nor can they erase any part of her inflexible speech. If it be humiliating to think that all the ministers of religion can not add anything to the natural proofs of a Deity, it is cheering to feel that all the atheists who now speak or who may yet speak will never be able to take anything awav. At the close of all their eloquence we shall always be able to say, "It is quite probable there is a God." Upon the side of vice there may come a disbelief in a Creator, but upon the side of reason such assuranc e can ever come for the final demonstration of atheism is KEXDEKKD WHOLLY IMPOSSIBLE HY THE TOM that adjournment of the court of inquiry. Having no magical power the pulpit can come to the world only in the name of a student of these questions; and of a student not having an interest that may bias his judgment and lead him to see the light where there is darkness, but a student having the interest whic h upholds him in the study and toil. The infidel and the anti-Christian do the pulpit at large an injustice when they represent the clergy as being men either without thought or with only prejudiced thought. The real truth is that men must be prepossessed somewhat with a theory before they will consent to study it. This love does not imply an exaggeration of evidence and conclusion, but it implies a zeal that will lead the mind to study up the truths of the case. Ilugh Miller and Cuvier and Audubon came to their branches of science with a powerful love of them, but this love did not lead them to fabricate data and conclusions. It only braced them up to seek out the facts with infinite patience. All men must come to their work with a love of it. This love will not be a prejudice, but a stimulous. To the pulpit the infidel mind should concede the truthfulness and Tightness of a preposession that may not supply and fabricate facts, but that may make their labors a pleasure instead of a bondage. The true clergyman is like the geologist or botanist, not drawing from his prepossions his logic, but only his zeal and his rewards. And so fast is the influence of morals and of spiritual ideas upon human life that it ought to be conceded to the average clergyman that his zeal is as well founded as the enthusiasm of an Audubon, who only studies birds, or of a Cuvier, who studies only brutes, or even of a Newton, who studies only bulks of material. Making allowance for many cxceptions; you, my young friends, will, upon entering any ot the modern churches, find the minister of religion thinking along amid his spiritual problems with the same earnestness and honor that marked the old statesmen when they bent over the ftroblems of liberty, or that marked a "Wiliam Harvey when he studied the circulation of the blood. All are alike students of TUE ENDLESS l'AGES OF NATURE. In pondering upon so radical a question as the existence of a God, it may bo well for those young and old men who are bitterly hostile to the church to remember that this is not a church question, but a human inquiry. "Whether tnere is an inspired Tolurne, whether there should be a Pope or a Bishop these are ecclesiastical themes, but the fact of a Creator has always been a human inquiry, just as dear to philosophy as to religion, just as amazing to the Greek and Iioman lawyers as to the Apostles, a3 attractive to Xenophon as to Paley. It may well commend t the candor and seriousness of all men that his belief in a God did not originate with a church, but came into the world oy command of that reasoning from effect to cause which belongs to the human mind in its universal form. The church builds indeed upon the idea, but take the church all away and the idea would remain. The church builds its temples upon the earth, but remove all these buildings and the earth would remain, and so the spiritual church builds upon the assumption of a Deity, but destroy all these places of worship and" burn all the priests of religion, and lo! each blossoming spring would remind you of a Creator, and each deathbed in your house would make your heart become an altar and you a devout priest in your own stricken family. But passing from these seemingly useful preliminaries to the great question itself, it appears to me that no argument for the existence of a God will ever be more influential than that drawn from the existence of an immense quantity of facts which materialism cannot explain. All, from early history to the latest date?, have felt that there is in thi. world a certain intellectual action which cannot be explained without ASSUMING AX INTELLECTUAL SOURCE. The notion Plato that intellect is indestructible is no longer held, but the division of the phenomena of the universe into mental and physical phenomena has been universally admitted; and up to this date all efforts

to identify these have been entire failures. "We seem now to have just passed through a half century which has made the most learned and profound excursions in to the material laboratories and laws; and this excursion has brought back no explanation whatever of the instinct of a bird to go South or of a spider to spin a web or of a beaver to fell a tree. Our scientific men, industrious and learned as they are, can not pass over the wide gulf that lies between a lump of clay and the oriole's nest or a lump of clay and a bird song. In our walks about our world we are met by the feeling that mind has been here and there; and, as we perceive that it was not man's mind, we must assume that a greater than man exists. The argument being now spread over several thousand years, and having assumed all possible forms, we seem competent at last to select from the mass the most impressive testimony, and that seems to be the fact that there "is in our universe an intellectual action, which in an infinite bulksomewhere we may as well call "God." Pantheism is the assumption that each bird and fish and man

is a pan oi mis mmu, jusi as catu j light in a cell or each rill of water is a p'Hrt of the common light or sea. Deism is, the assumption that God is a one great m'r.id and that all other life were made by him as a workman makes a watch. Atheism is a denial of both these and the assumption that the dust is the parent of bird and fish and man. Of thsse theories Deism is the most rational. Pantheism offers no valid reason why an insect should be a part of the Deity. Pantheism stands upon a pardonable and even a thoughtful basis, compared with Atheism, but as compiled with Deism, its cKims to our faith seem inferior. Our world is so given to individualize its life that we seem bound to individualize the Supreme Power and discard Pantheism. The consciousness of Lord liacon was quite distinct from that of Newton or Socrates. You can not recall my dreams, nor can I know your thoughts. Much less is man identified with his dog or his horse. All is separate in our earth. It has no panhumanism, no pan-animalism, and hence we must deny it a pan-theism, and must imagine our Creator to have a personality as distinct from you and me as we are distinct from each other. In a universe of individuals GOD IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST. Atheism is the most uninviting of the three theories. It can not lead U3 across from matter to mind, and therefore it is compelled to deny the existence of mind and athrm that it is only an accident of matter, and that a bird that can fly in the air is only as the dust that can fly in the air, and that between swimming chips and swimming fish there is no essential difference. Atheism is filaced in the absurd attitude of confessing ife of many grades and then of denying a still higher grade called Divine. It sees in this earth a million species, from a butterfly up to a saint, and then says there may not be one more form of life called Deitv. of the three forms of belief or surmise it is the weakest in logical quality; in moral quality it is of still numbler pretensions, for it is quite empty of motive and hope. Deism raises up the greatest of the group, and having ruled the world thus far, it will doubtless be the dominant opinion of humanity as long as the race shall endure. It is simple, it is natural. Finding mind in the wild mind-busy building, painting, carving, writing, speaking, planting, sowing, reaping, it gives up the discussion whether there can be such a thing as an intelligence it sees it on all hands, and then has no task left it but t? assume that there is an intelligence still higher than man. As the come of the sky is greater than the dome of St. Peter, it infers that nature has an architect gruater than Angelo. In Deism God is the mind and power of man carried onward to the Supreme. Under this idea of a God all the specifications of life fall and find full explanation; and it seems the only assumption that will explain the physical phenomena of the universe. It is asking too much of inanimate material to make a system of worlds such that one star shall send light and heat upon an earth and make its soil send forth violets, and grasses and trees, and shall make four seasons, and finally make animals and then man, shall induce another planet to reflect at night upon this same earth ; it is asking too much of material things to have them arranging the deposit of dew at night and the showers of rain and the ripening influences of the autumn months; it is asking too much of dust and ashes to expect them to make beautiful birds to fly in the air, and beautiful gold and silver fish to live in the crystal brooks; too much to expect the power of dust to originate the idea of purple grapes and the blushing peach. "We know that the material forces can help along all these shapes of the wonderful, but if materialism, the death of nature, can do such wonderful works man should lament that he has a mind, for he has been wholly surpassed by clay that had in THE OUTSET NEITHER LIFE XOR MIND. If our world did not begin in a personal intelligence, but began with material forms of low quality, man should bo disappointed in his ispiritual nature, and might well wish himself a clod that he might thus havo the hope of starting a universe. Our world was fashioned either by something above man or something beneath him. If by something beneath man we might all well deserve to go back to that miserable weakness and ignorance that could arrange the four seasons and make clay turn into birds and violets! "What is human progress but a perpetual going away from the primitive potencies; that made worlds? But if the universe was made by some One above man then progress is a march toward Him; not moving away from the creative power, but toward it, and each year that bears us onward in mental growth is a year ot joy. This materialism places all greatness back of man; Deism places it before him. "With all his pride of soul and intellect, man is surpassed by the slime of the sea if there bo no God, for that slime made the life of earth. The general statement that it is asking too much of the air, earth, fire, and water, that they should make the amazing things that surround us needs to be enforced by a glance at particulars. Look at mind in its minute embodiment. Man who f peaks and sings and laughs and builds cities, bridges, railways, ehips, who makes watches and engines, who writes books and speaks to a friend a thousand miles away is too vast to be be surveyed. Let us drop down to creatures a million times less in weight than man and having a brain a million times smaller. The honey-bee is so small that it takes 5,000 of them to weigh a pound. A large man weighing 200 i3 equal to a million of these famous workers. Now, if our universe hss no universal intellect that made and permeates the bees hive, then the old ooze of some old sea standas the inventor of the honey-making colony. Look now at the difficulty of such a hypothesis. In the honey-bee's brain, which is not larger than a pinhead, we find the following ideas. The swarm is just moving into a new house a box or a hollow tree: (1) They gather a coarse kind of gluten and stop up all the crevices and holes. (2) They then paint or varnish the interior. (3) They construct cells. (4) They fill them with nectar. (5) They' seal up these little jars. (6)They appoint about twenty of their number to ventilate the house by making their wings g? at incalculable velocity. (7) These

Trnti1ofM eton1 rt waw in ton fmm Twinf I

moved by their own wings. (8) They --re relieved by other bees every half hor;-, jn The colony must have a queen, jq) yyhen a hive is about to send forVn a swarm a now queen is developed for those destined to Vemain. (11) But if the new que an gets, her growth a few days too soon s'je is kept in her cell by new heavy coating 0f raij for should she come out before t'a$ other is gone there would be war in the. land. (12) If a queen is killed a new queen is made by changing the food of sc,me common grub in its celL (13) In r:,ny days when honey can not be gathered tf swarm makes a large advance supply 0f win5. (14) Of the drones, which rW not work, there are only about twenty to the eight or nine thousand, and these n'jVer jie a natural death, but are killed in .ugust and September by the workers as j0t being worthy of the food they would ned in the winter. (15) The honeybee 'jii rise from any part of a field and fly aight to its own hive, though there may a hundred hires in the lot or prarden. (1C) They go from sunshine to the total darkness of their hive and move to the exact point of their task, and never get two tasks confounded. 17) They build their cells in that hexagonal form which combines the most strength and the most containing power with TUE LEAST OUTLAY OF LABOR AND MATERIAL. A French mathematician having made a calculation to find what angle was the most economical for bees to follow in their delicate architecture, differed not a degree, but a few minutes, from the angle in use by the wUe insect, but subsequent calculation have shown that the mathematician made an error and that the bee was right. Horo are seventeen different ideas in a brain not larger than a mustard Beed, and I affirm that it is nsking too much of the olJ floating dust of Lucretius, or of all atheism, to make it thus centralize in the honey-bee so many beautiful and strange and intellectual conceptions. This simple, toiling nectardealer ought, by itself alone, to overthrow all belief that our universe came without thought By the bee-hive stood Aristotle, pondering; there stood Virgil to compose his fourth Georgic; Aristomachus devoted sixty yean to this study; another classic moved oC into a solitude, with a few hives, that thu world might not disturb his researches; by this house of wonders stood Cicero and Pliny; and the multitude of great watchers has only increased as modern times have come, and Brougham and Lubbock, and Germans and Americans without number, have been drawn into this circle of enchantment. Our own country, in its Langstroth, has shown that the study of this little marvel belongs to all times and continents, and consumes the whole life of a Gretk philosopher or of an American clergyman. The bee, an insect which has enjoyed more commentators than Dante or Shakspeare, and more biographies than Napoleon or Ctear, did not probably come from a material origin, but from some master thought, for if we are to believe that the bee that thus fabricates, and the spider that spins a web, and the worm that spins silk out of a mulberry leaf, are results of senseless antecedents, why should we laugh at Aladdin, who made palaces and filleJ them with riches, rubbing an old lamp? If an old sea washing in and out on a muddy shore a million years gave being to all thi. scene of thought and life, what is there of marvel in Aladdin's lamp or ring? Tho marvel once was that there was no rational link between his old lamp and his new pal ace; but if our wise creatures all come from primitive ooze, then no demand remains for rational causation, and the "Arabian Night" might well become a text-book in the new science of creation. Death or Little Children. Atlanta (0a.) Chronicle. "We knowaverv asred woman who thniifli her days have had their abundant share of sorrow, clings to life with almost youthful eagerness, declaring that though sho had always resigned herself to God's will, she always hoped to sta' a very long time in this beautiful world. The strong, brave spirit of this remarkable matron is in sharp and shining contrast to those weaker natures which rebel against the Father of Life for extinguishing Uis gift prematurely. A long life tilled with wholesome deeds, is the most glor ious to humanity. It is one expression of what is best for some persons m the divine love and wisdom. It often pleases Providence, however, to take the blossom instead of the full-blown or withered flower, and when this dispensation comes, it has a pathetic charm that does not cling to the dissolution' of the old and worn. None the less is it, as we are bound to believe the most perfect shadowing of the design of Him who doeth all thing3 well." It is hard for parents to surrender their little children even to God and Ileaven. It is selfish perhaps, and natural, too. But out of the grave itself comes sanctification and while the last rally of despair is in the mother's heart, the little hand of the childangel leads her insensibly to a higher life and a most deathless hope all unknown before. It is a precious privilege to have children on earth, but a divine blessing to know that they have been gathered away from all soil and sin by the sheltering arms of the Savior. Humanity asserts itselt in the presence of the little dress, which breathes odorously of its once tender miitress; at (the sight of a toy, a shoe, a bit of ribbon the least object that once was hers. How can there be anything but tears when gazing upon the snowy whiteness of an empty crib, where she reposed in health, sutiered in agony, and passed from earth to immortality. Parhaps there wa3 a trace of pain as she slept in her coffin. How shall a parent ever forget that, and how shall a mother fail to remember that the dainty body of her darling is heavily pressed upou by the churchyard clay? 'Luckily, there comes a time to all such bereaved persons when the child no longer seems to be a thing of earth, but a vision of supernal beauty, clad in light, radiant with life eternal, crowned with splendor and illumined with bliss. To behold again that rapturous image, to claim maternal kinship with that glorified being, to roam with it through the vales and along the streams of Paradise this is the perpetual wish and constant effort of the parent who has lost a child and yet believes that God who summoned it away will one day restore it forever. So, while there is much to grieve for in the death of a dear child, there is much that is consoling. The greatest blessing is a growth in holiness that leads along the'pathway of the skies. Out of the prison of the tomb there is evoked an anthem like that so touchingly sung in "The Chambered Nautilus"' "Build thee more stately mansions, 0 my loci, Ai th iwift at-Kaoni roll! Leave tby low-vaulted past. Let each new temple, nubler than the last Shut the from Haaren with a deine more vait, Till thou at length art free, LtarioK the outgrown (bell by Life's unresting sea!" "Dad, if it's so injurious to smoke, why don't chimneys get sick and die?" The old gentleman merely replied that he wished he had a trunk strap handy. School Inspector: "Now, youngster, can you name me a mild winter?" Scholar: ''The winter of '75. Then our teacher was sick for six weeks."

CONCERNING YOMEN.

The progress of female education in Japan of late years has kept pace with educational progress in other directions. Schools are now opened in many parxs oi me country wherein the female scholar has educational advantages similar to those of male students. From a contributor to a suburban newspaper: "The American girl is an American cirl the world over, and no weak conception of a parent of the old school can take from her that Vivacious and elegant mien with which she holds the scepter over all tho world for grace and true womanhood." There are three important physiological reasons why a woman's hair is longer than her husband's. The first is that since nature has withdrawn lrom her the hair growth of the face, and to a great degree that of the body, a larger supply of hirsute forming mater ial is left for the scalp. The second is, her hair having a larger diameter of shaft is stronger and less liable to break, and has, too, an increased formative power of the papiluc. The third reason is, that she w usually les3 engaged in mental labor or business worry, and so there results more constant jxnd even Bupply of blood to the scalpj Her head is less constantly covered and is better ventilated than the man's, and it might be added that she cultivates her crop with more care and greater pride in it than her lord and master would care to be accused of. The writer rallied a young lady friend some time ago vnd chaffed her upon being an "old maid." i he replied: 'I am past thirty. I have a good home. I think you know I have had abundant opportunities to marry. I have been bridesmaid a score of times. I ask myself with which one of the beautiful girls that I have seen take tho marriage vow would I exchange to-day? Not one. Some are living apart from their husbands; some ftre divorced; some are the wives of drunken men; same are hanging upon the ragged ged ef society, endeavoring to keep up appeerrances; some are toiling to support anu ed ucato their children, and these are tho least miserable: some tread the narrow line beyond the boundary of which lies the mysterious land, ana some have gone out into its dark' ness and unknown horrors, and some are dead. A few there are who are loved and honored wives, mothers, with happy homes; but, alas I only a very few. The Parisan. Why Ladies Can't Sharpen Lead Pencils. A lady contributor to the Californian thinks she knows why a woman can not sharpen a lead pencil: "In the first place, sho doesn't attack it boldly enough; she is afraid of soilin; her fingers. Then she never has a sharp knife." Let her borrow, say you. The California ladv has tried that with this: "If Adam, the husband, or Adon is, the brother, or even Johnny, the first son, lends a knife for the purpose, he first opens tho dullest, brokenest blade, und then sneers at the result. If Eve has a knife of her own, nobody will sharpen it for her," and it goes without saying that she can not sharpen it herself. '1 have, ' continues tins lady, "seen a woman sharpen a pencil with a carving knife, but that was an extreme case." Forney's Progress wonders if this writer, who seems so willing to betray the peculiarities of her sex, can explain why a woman s watch never goes. Of course, one reason is that it is never wound up, but why it is not is what puzzles the Progress. Most watches now-a-days are stem-winders, so the almost-lost key is no longer an excuse. Pleasantries Concerning: tho Fair Sex. The woman caught in a shower with her new bonnet and no umbrella can never be persuaded that the rain was needed. The world is always interested to know the last words of a man. It doesn't care so much about those of a woman. She has had her last word all through life. Boston Transcript. "The greatest source of weakness to every nation under Ileaven," said a philosopher, "comes from the women having so little to do and so much to say." That man is a crabbed old bachelor. A Cincinnati widow sued a doctor for cutting up the body of her husband and not saving the pieces, damages laid at $5,003; but the jury held that a dead husband h id had damages enough. A Siamese nobleman has just been beheaded for marrying an English girl. "When American girls are beheaded for marrying English noblemen there will be fewer unhappy women in the country. Norristown Herald. A young paster who has recently had a son born to him notifies a brother pastor as follows: "Unto us a child is born; unto us a son is given. Is. 9:0." It was written on a postal card. The receiver showed tho message to a sister in his church. "Ah, yes," said the woman, after reading it, "it weighed nine pounds six ounces."
