IMPERFECT NOTION OF THE 'DEITY.

Another character of revealed truths is that they are complete in their meaning, and not subject to alterations, progressive improvements and much less to. self-contradictions. Human knowledge is essentially tentative and progres. sive. A divine revelation partakes of a quite different character; it is plenary, incapable of further increment and correction. Now, if we find in the biblical records this very character of progressiveness, incipiency, correction, and above all contradiction, we must necessarily infer that this book is not the work of God as it is alleged to be.

And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. And they said unto him. Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door which was behind him. Wow Abraham and Sarah were old, and well stricken, in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After 1 am old also? waxed old shall I have pleasure, my ford being Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall And the Lord said unto Abraham,

After this the Lord discusses with. Abraham the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, and informs, him that he is going down thither to see whether the reports which have reached him are correct.

"Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know." (Gen. xviii, zo).

Much has been said in praise of the theism of the Jews. Their notion of the Deity has been asserted to be so perfect that it is assiduously brought forward as one of the proofs that their religion was directly inspired by heaven. Palcy's assertion to this effect has often been quoted. The worthy divine said in "Evidences of Christianity Undoubtedly our Saviour assumes the divine origin of the Mosnic Institu- tion; and, independently of his authority, I con- ceive it to be very difficult to assign any other cause for the commencement or existence of that Institution, especially for the singular circum- atance of the Jews adhering to the Unity, when every other people slid into polytheism; for their being men in religion, children in every- thing else; behind other nations in the arts by a committee pymastership on an allowance by the Prime Minister of England was not the

of peace and war, superior to the mast improved in their sentiments and doctrines relating to the Deity."-Milman, in "History of the Jews" has the following: "The religious history of this people is no less singular. In the narrow slip of land inhabited by their tribes the worship of one Al nighty Creator of the Universe subsists, as in its only sanctuary. In every stage of Society, under the pastoral tent of Abraham, and in the sumptuous Temple of Solomon, the same creed maintains its inviolable

simplicity. Nor is this merely a sublime specula- tive tenet; it is the basis of their civil constitu- tion, and of their national character. As there is but one Almighty God, so there is but olie People under his special protection, the descen- dants of Abraham,"

What if we now discover that the Jewish notion of the Godhead was essentially imperfect, and progressive, that it at first involved as material a representation of its object as the pagan or polytheistic idea expressed it, and that by the endual process of evolution, like all human ideas, it attained to its reputed purity? We have heard and read a great deal about the God of Abraham. What are his principal characteristics 7 · We are told at the very outset that the father and grandfather of Abraham worshipped other Gods, and these other deities are subsequently placed on a level with Jehovab bimself;

"And Joshun gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. And Joshua said unto all the people. Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods. (Joshua, xxiv. 11-2.)—" The God of Abraham; and the God of Nacher, the God of their father, Judge betwixtrus."(Gen. xxxi. 53).

Laban, a near relative of Abraham, whose sister he had expressly "felected as his son Iranc's wife, pursued Jacob for having stolen his gods. "And now, though, thou wouldest needs be gone because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore, hast thou stolen my geds ?" And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Becouse I was afraid; for I said, Lest thou shouldst take thy daughters from me by force. With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live." (Gen. xxxi. 30, 31- "Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him. Put away the strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments." (Gen. xxxv. 2).

This is Jacob's conception of God;—

Mr. Chaplin said that the moment Bi-Metallic question was properly understood succces must follow. It was, he said, a mission of league to enlighten the public report of the Currency Commission and have established the important fact that a stable ratio was perfectly possible. Mr. Samuel Smith read a paper, in which he gave instances of disastrous effects of the fall in value of silver upon commerce and farming. Mr. Houldsworth said that the evidence given before the Currency Commission had quite converted him, and he would do his utmost to promote the cause in Lancashire.

The letter from Osman Digma to General Grenfell, contains details of the surrender of the Equatorial province to the Mahdists, and the capture of Emin Pasha and a white traveller by Lado, the Dervish leader. Osman also encloses a letter from Lado, which gives the date of Emin's surrender as October 10th. A letter is also enclosed which was taken from the white traveller, and is apparently a copy of a letter which the Khedive gave to Stanley for Emin Pacha, in October 1887.

"Who, concludes Greg, after reading such passages, can for a moment accept the belief that Jacob and Job worshipped the same God?" The representations given of the Lord in hisi proceedings with Abraham and the three Patriarchs are exceedingly materialy Greg paints out that these representations imply that the God whom Abraham worshipped was a family God, selected probably by him for some reason unknown to us, out of a number of athers who were worshipped by his fathers and his tribe. Bauer observes that the Samaritan and Arabian translators, from an anxious appre bension lest a corporeat existence should be attributed to the Deity, frequently substituted the expression angel of God for the names Jehovah and Elohim. Instead of #Ye shall be as goda. (Gen. vi. 5), they have ye shall be as the angels of God. "Instead of In the likeness of God made he' bim (Cen, v.), they have "In the likeness of the angel of God made he him;" and instead of "God went up from Abraham (Gen. xvii, 12), they have "The angel of God went up from Abraham," 10d so on. The clearest proof that Abraham's Gd was a corporeal entity, and consequently in rect antagonism to the God that is "spirit," is fund in the following well-known passage in Gen. xvlil 1-15+ ||||

The Bombay Gazette's London telegram says that Mr. Gladstone-in a speech at Limehouse, censured Lord Salisbury for using expressions which have given offence to many millions of fellow subjees in India; the public in England waited for an apology, as he believed the people of India waited for one; the people of India were: in a condition most interesting to every man qualified to comprehend the large principles and responsibilities of English dominion, they are a people of awakening mind and desiring to enter more and more into public life of its own; our business is to foster and nourish indifference to their interesting work or contempt that sentiment and avoid indignities of eith-r to their feelings; the contemptuous denunciation way to increase the feeling of loyalty.

CANNOT BE CURED.

DISEASE, WHICH BRING ABOUT FATAL RESULTS.

The class of chronic diseases is quite a large one, and is important from every point of view. It may prove interesting to inves igate the question why certain affections continue for years, while the history of others is always compressed -nto a few days or weeks. That is to say, some are chronic from the start, while others are always acute, at other times chronic, and still others again half way between them.

The nature of the cause. of a given disease has much to do with its duration. In the so-called easential fevers, such as a typhus, typhoid, relapsing and yellow fever, the cause is a minute vegetable, organism that seems to attain its full development within a very short time, after which it produces its progeny and dies. There is no more chance of one of them becoming chronic than there is of raising several crops of oats or barley from once sowing the seed.

.

In a second class the cause, again a micro-. and developing new crops alnest indefinitely. scopic growth, may go on growing, malliplying

Such are the malarial fevers and all the affec- lions classed among the miasmatic disorders.

Disease of the valves of the heart is not at all uncommon, and follows acute rheumatism, especially if it occurs in a child, with great frequency. The presence of a valvular disease of the heart is not by any means

sign that death must result from it in a year or a score of years. The amount of damage inflicted is not always indicated by the amount of abnormal sounds to be heard over the heart. The abnor mal sounds (murmurs) may be very led, and the discase which causes them be of no great moment, or the murmurs may scarcely be heard, while the damage, may be of the greatest import ance and lead to a speedy death. In the one case the muscular substance of the heart is able to make up for the damages presumably growing (hypertrophy) sufficiently to meet all demands made upon jis strength; in the other, the ability to grow and increase in strengthis soonexhausted, Then the blood accumulates faster than it can be sent away from the heart, and the cavities thereof become more and more weak and give way before the constantly increasing pressure that fe dilatation instead of hypertrophy, Enlarge. ment of the heart by overgrowth of its muscular good and not to be interfered with, while substance is always a conservative process, doing

Europe Morconer, poverty is so unspeakably. miserable in Moscow that it seems to be the characteristic rather of a distinct sp cies of the animal man than of any particular layer of the population. The streets daily yield figures which can only on general principles of anthropology be called human. The eye disentangles a face from these moving masses of rags but slowly and painfully unless the inspection is at long range, the nose itself is too apt to protest.

The Russian summer call innumerable peasant beggars and country paupers to Moscow. In the day-time they explore the city from gate to gate, hilting from time to time to brg alms or munch the fragments of black bread which form the chief spoils of their diurnal quest. Many women of this class are young and robust, fresh from the labors of the field; but some are old, infirm, haggard. All trudge about with the aid of a staff, and all wear a rude canvas bag tied around the. neck.
