In opening his address, Canon Streeter emphasised the fact that it was a greater difficulty to form a belief in a Divine Providence with the misery and evil of this world, when one believed that there was only one God, and He, good. He always thought himself, thut from a strictly intellectual point of view, was les de- the problem of evil pressive than that of good. It was more easy to explain evil in the world, than to explain good, on the hypothesis of a good God. Evil was positive and good negative. Yet he considered that it was more important to explain life than death, and it was more important to explain the good things in this world, than the evil.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION.
Canon Streeter Lectures at
the University.
Speaking on the subject of The conflict between Religion and Science" at St. John's Hall, last night, to an audience, com
of students prised
of the University and members of the public, Canon Streeter likened the controversy to the quarrelling of
with the older members.
He did, not propose to put forthe youngest offspring of a family ward any now solution of his own, but to draw their attention to the long debate on the subject which runs through the Bible.
The spirit of science, he said. was the spirit of enquiry, and while there was a great demand which could be sympathised with amongst the younger generation of China for the practical benefits of science as a means of com- batting the poverty which WER such # distressing thing out here, It was the spirit of enquiry in science which should he cultivated.

Evil existed whatever one liked to think, but people only puzzled as to why it existed when they thought of one power, and that, a power that makes for righteous ness. If one believed in a large number of gods, some good, some had and some indifferent, there was wrenson to think that things were going to work out properly; and if one thought of no God at all, there was no reason to expect things to work out gither rightly or wrongly. It was only when one had the idea of one Gad, and He a gom God, that evil became a puzzle, The speaker went on to show how the early Israelites believed that pain and suffering was the punish ment borne for the sins of the fathers and the rulers. It was per-mited to one field of action, fectly true that in this world the and was analytical in its, study, sins of the parents were visited on philosophy took a bird's eye view the children, and the sins and mis- of the whole universe and was Science takes of the rulers were visited on synthetic in its nature.
