other occasions for supporting the asset»
tioii that religion is llourisliin: today in
civilized lands. and is entering upon tli'\\‘
and iiiore successful campaigns upon the
soil of gross licatliciiisiii. Religious peo-

opinions. but they diller in this respect
very little from pure scientists. seciilarists
and theorilcrs about the functions of gov.

world and it is useless in any department
of thought to seek to bottle it in the old
\viiic.skiiis. . Much that is supposed to be
new is old. even mustv many errors. new
only to those who accept them. are relics
of SI dead past: yet new truths and new
phases and illustrations of old truths are
born almost every day. Somalicd scien—

says “it is on its deathbed.“ The great

today. and there need be no fear that any
theory. argument. discovery. or wish will
be able to prove them false.

"The history of ‘I‘lllllli‘ Upiiiiou during:
the last half-century may be not iiiaptly
compared to that of a we‘l-t‘ed. steady—
}:oiiig old roadster. long cherished by a re-
spectable elderly squire. but unluckily
transferred at hisdemisc to his wild young.r
heir. Accustoiued to all the neighboring
highways. and trained to jog along at five
miles an hour. the nor beast suddenly
found itself lashed iy ‘the discipline of
facts‘ and sundry new and cruel spurs. to
get over the ground at double its wonted
pace. and at last to leave the beaten tracks
altogether and cut across country. over
walls and hedges which it never so
much as peeped over before. l'nder this
altered regime. itwould appear that I‘ub~

tiveness which was to be expected. (In
some occasions. he stood stock~still like a
donkey. with his feet stretched out. refiis~
ing to budge an inch: and. anon. lic bolts
ed and shied and took buck leaps into the
air rather than go the way which stern
destiny ordained. But. as time went on.
such resistance naturally grew less violent.
The plungiugs and resrings subsided by
degrees. and anybody who now pays at—
tention to the animal will probably be only
led to observe that he isa little hard in the
mouth and apt to refuse his fences till he
has been brought tip to them two or three
times. In his equine way. he finds each
new discovery first 'false‘aud then ‘agsiiist
religion‘: but at last he always makes a
spring over it. and knocks off the top
stone with his hind feet. —‘Everylxidy

It is fairvto say. in view of what I said
to the Committee of Arrangements. that
my preference would have been to take
the attitude of friendly silence in these
meetings. but in deference to their judg-
ment I have consented to take the part
which I have. .I trust it is not false
modesty that leads me to say that I dnc
like talking in public about myself or
any work in which I have been engaged.
