SIR-Your readers will probably have Ma. Vergelle, of the Kol.o-Canton Railway noticed the advertisement of, as well as the kindly reference made in your paper to the Grand Variety Entertalament, in aid of the
DOGMATISTS WITHOUT DOGMA. The present is the day of calch words without a dominating fundamental principle underlying them. We congratulate ourselves in our public speeches, our books, our news- papers that we are a "progressive" people in the highest ethical sense. We desire the good of mankind: we say, as often and in a loud voice; but we grow heated as to how this good is to be achieved. The negative spirit is abroad: we see evil, but not the underlying good. The old-time visions of hermits and nuns might be morbid, but at least did good in this--that the prizewas the attainment of the ultimate good. Perfection was the goal, whereas our modern, reason. able morality strives only to avoid the horrors that follow breaches of the law. It can only point to imperfection. All our alleged pro- gress, philanthropy, human kindness is engaged in nullifying effects, and not in getting at their cause. A well-known secular writer on religious subjects has crystallised this modern negative attitude in a striking sentence. Discussing the ultra-modern desire to impose virtue'by scientific means, he said that a picture of a drunkard's liver MR. Gersham Stewart, M. P, was speaking would be more efficacious in the matter the other day on the same platform as the of temperance than any prayer or praise. | Duko of Maribɔraugb, As à critic said of this horribly morbid state- ment: The perfect flesh is no longer on
