Lectures Delivered by the Rey. “ames Simpson, at St, Peter's Cathedral, Charlottetown, P BE. Lt.

Ill. Is 4 Reveration From Gop Imero-

BABLE ?

In our Jast lecture we brought forward four arguments in favor f a belief in a i personal God. The first of these was ‘rom i the seneral consent of mankind—every na- tion, tribe and tongue confe-ses a supreme Deity, and even if (as some ailirm) tiere have heen found peoples who do not ac- knowledge a God, yet they are at the best | but very rare exception-, which only prove The second argument was frem It is an axiom of thought, truth—that every ellect j must have a cause. No law versal than this; its validity is at once re- cognized. And since an infinite succession

aS pos-

i the rute. eflect to cause,

—a self-evident is more uni-

of causes cannot be con eived ot sible, we infer that all finite causes must

] originated in a first cause, which

nave = , must hase been itself unecaused. This fir-t Canse we designate God.

Che third argument was from design, first seen in the order of the universe, and then in its alaptations. The things of this world are not thrown together haphazard, but are arranged in a marvellous beauty and order which implies that it is all the result of intelligence, «ince it could not possib!y have originated in unconszious and unin- tellizgeat forces. And the fourth argument was from the moral nature of man, which could not be from natural selection, or of purely physical evolution, with no personal Being behind that evolution; it could not have origina‘ed in matter, force or motion; than which the universe in its primitive condition contained naught else accordingto the antitheistic evolutionists. So when we | consi’e* th+ personality of man, his frec- dom, his consei ner, his rligious nature, his spiritual aspirations, his innate percep | tien and approval of the true, the beaut ful, the good, we conclude that there must be a Being who is free and pure and goo’; }a personal being who is spiritual and moral, from whom man has received his spiritual and moral nature. } | | | i i

i

Each of these arguments, considered by | itself, aftords reasonable evidence that God exi-ts—so reasonable that many un- | believers have admitted the valid ty but our case is strengthened infinitely by the combined force of the arguments. The possession of the purse of a murdered man may not be conclusive proof that the possessor was the murderer. But. if his clothes are stained with blood ; if various articles belonging to the murdered man are foun! in his possession; if it can be proved that he purchased the instrument by which the murder was accomplished ; if his footprints exactly cor.espond to those of the murderer; if he has also adopted a number of cunning devices to avonl detection, if al] these circumstance: meet together in the same person, thev afford astronger evidence of gailt than that of one man who affirms that he saw the prisoner commit the murder, because te-timony may be false, or a mistake may be mad2 about personal identity. But facts like these can neither lie nor deceive, and when they thus con- ve-ge ina¢ mmon focus they possess all the force of demonstration. So it is with the evidence before us.” Each separate argument, taken by it-elf, atfords a strong presumption that God exists, but when they are al! taken together, the evidence becomes overwhelming. We therefore feel justified in concluding that there is a per- sonal God, the Cause of Causes, the intelli- gent orderer and adapter of the universe, who is at once benevolent and hely and just and trneand moral.

Having proved the existence of God. the next question that demands our attention is, “Are there any sufficient grounds for believing that He will make any manifes- tations of Himself to man other than those He has already made in His various crea- tive and providential acts?” This point is of very considerable importance in relation to the question before us. You all know, for it is constantly brought to your notice in the ordinary affairs of life, that the amount of evidence which is necessary to prove that acertain event has taken place varies in proportion to the probability or improbability of its oceur- rence. Very slight evidence is sufficient to satisfy us that an event has occurred if such an event is likely and expected. For instance, if we saw aman in the last stages of consumption and were told that he could not live many hours longer, we would have no difficulty in beiieving he was dead if an obituary notiee appeared in the newspaper the next day. But we should require much stronger evidence than a newspaper to convince us that antumn was not succeeded by winter, or winter by spring, in some given locality. In a similar manner, an action which, if assigned to one motive, may be in the highest degree improbable, may be ac cepted on the most ordinary testimony if assigned to aneiher. We should -require strong proof before we could believe that one whom we had always looked upon as a consistent Christian, had subscribed largely towards the erection of an idol temple in his town, but if itcould be shown that the money was extorted from him by threats of violence or injury to his busi- ness, while condemning his cowardice, the difficuity in accepting the fact of the sul- scription would disappear.

Or let me put it another way. If the papers acnounced that the Federal Gov- ernment had ordered several shiploads of provisions and clothing to be sent to Charlottetown, to be distr: buted indiscrim- inately among the people, we ehould re- ceive the news with a smile of incredulity. It is antecedently improbable that the Government should interfere in our favor, becanse there is no manifest reason why it should do so. But if next Spring we ehould hear that the people of Labrador had run short of provisions, and were, consequently, starving, we should not only have no difficulty in believing that the Government would send them supplies as socn as navigation opened— we should ex pect them to do so. To-day we would langh at a telegram stating that the prin- cipal cities in Canada, England, and the United States were raising subscriptions for us in Charlottetown; but if a fire swept away three-fourths of our city to night, to-morrow we should expect to re- ceive such a telegram, because our con- dition would oe entirely altered, and con- sequently the idea of foreign assistance would be brought within the bounds cf reasonable probability ; in fact, we should ve very much surprised if other cities did not come to our aid, since we have always helped other cities in similar distress,

The bearing of this princip'e on the question of divine revelation is obvious, Abstractedly it may be very difficult to be- Jieve in enpernetural interferences with the ordinary atfairs of the universe, and it may require an overwhelming amouht of evi- deuce to prove their reality, Buatif we have reason to believe thatthe divine character and the condition of man are such as to reier a revelation probable, the difliculty of accepting it disappears and it can be believed an ordinary testi- mony.

“Wea-k, therefore, if there be a God, is there any reason for thinking that He will interfere in man’s favor in a mannet other than he hes already done in the

. perfect representation of the case.

order of nature? In answering this ques- | of it.

tion our appeal must not be to theories, but to facts only. Here again we can quote the high authority of John Stuart Mill in connection with this subject in his posthumous essays. The picture which he has drawn of man’s condition is som- cre indeed—we believe it to be overcharg- ed, but there it is, as it presented itself to the reason of this eminent unbeliever. If itis only quarter true, it is in the highest degree probable, if a God exists whocares for men, that He will make an interposition in his favor beyond any that he has al- ready made. Look abroad upon the world. Where do we see the features of the A\l- mighty Father? Is not the earth like the prophets’ scroll, “Full, within and with- out, of lamentation and mourning and woe ?” Do we not feel with the Apostle that “the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now ?” That is the first impression which the study of nature is calculated to make on a reflective mind. The world is full of mis- ery and pain, and this apparently anterior to the entrance of sin and independent of it. Geology has deciphered for us the tes- timony of the rocks and of the everlasting hills, and there we find ample evidence of conflict and carnage long before the ap parition of man upon the scene. Timor- ous flight and swift pursuit; animals fleet of foot and strong of jimb, with claws to rend and teeth to grind; whole tribes liv- ing on the violent death of creatures weaker than themselves. This is what we find written on the unerring records of the time when man was not yet. And now, is it not a simple fact that the vast majority of mankind are in a very de- graded conditiun? Does not evil every- where abound? Does it not occasion a vast amount of suffering, even to those who are not the guilty causes of it? How all this eriginated, is nothing to do with the question, any more than how a fire or ignated which swept away a city. The facts are there, the need is apparent, a remedy isdemanded. Has not past exper- ience utterly failed to provide any > ade- quate cure for it? Or does it suggest the hopeof being able to eradicate it for countless ages to come? With the facts of life and history before us, these are things that cannot be denied. It follows therefore, if there be a God who contem- plates man with feelings of benevolence, that some interposition in his favour is h ghiy proLable, and that there is no abstract difficulty in accepting the fact that He has so interpoged, ifonly it can be established on evidence that will com- mend itself to our reason.

Such evidence we now hope to bring forward to prove that Jesus of Nazareth is a revelation from God. His character, His discourses, His influence on mankind cannot be catalogued among merely human phenomena. But before we proceed to do this, let us clear up any possible misun- derstanding upon two points, viz., that it is necessary to assume the inspiration of the Bible, and that it is necessary to point to the miracles of Christ as a proof of His Divinity.

It is not necessary to assume the inspir- ation of the Bible in our argument for Christianity. To prove Christianity by the inspiration or authority of the Bible would be to beg “the” quéstion “at issue. This is obvious, though it is not always observed.

Even though the Bible were not in- spired, Clristianity might yet be true. Even if we conld not recognize in the writings of the New Testament the resul of the influence of the Holy Ghost upon the men who wrote it, it might stil] be possible to accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Saviour of the wo:ld. It .s there- fore no essential part of our duty in’ this place to establish the inspiration of the Bible or any part of it. Do not misunder- stand me. I believe the Bible is inspired and I believe its inspiration can be estab- lished to the complete satisfaction of the Christian mind, though some of the com- monly accepted theories of inspiration can- not be established. But we can prove the divine origin of Christianity, the divine mission of Christ and His claim to be the Lord and Saviour without ever raising the question of inspiration. It is possible, therefure, to believe in Christ, and to be a sincere Christian without believing in the inspiration of the Scriptures. Ido not say itis reasonable I only say it is possible. This was recog- nized 250 years ago by that devout and able non-conformist, Richard Baxter, who has not without reason been called “the tather of English apologetics.” “If (he says) the Scriptures were but the writings of honest men, that were subject to mis- takes and contradictions in the manner and circumstances, yet they might afford us a full certainty of the substance of Christianity. Tacitus, Suetonius, Livy and others were all heathens and very fallible, and yet their bistery affords us a Certa nty of the great ‘substantial pas-

sages Of the Toman affairs which they |

treat of. Now if Scriptures were butsuch common writings as these, e-- pecially joiced with the uncontrolled tra dition that hath since conveyed it to us, may it not yet givetus a full certainty that Christ was in the flesh, and that he preached this docrine for the substance . ‘which will afford us an invine- ible argumert for our Chr'stianity.

The recognition of the fact that the truth of the Christian religion is not bound up -with belief in- the — infallibil- ity, or even the inspiration of the Bible is of the utmost importance. It clears the ground of discussion of many irrevelent issues. It is then seen that however the questions between the Buble and science are determined, they do not necessarily invoke the integrity of the Christian religion. Suppose yeu make out to your entire satisfaction that Genesis and geology are irreconcilably opposed (which L for one do not believe), this con- clusion does not shake the evidence by by which we are convinced that Jesus of of Nazareth was a superhuman person and that His mission was divine. Equally clear is it that most of the questions discussed so earnestly in our day in the field of criticism leave the argument for the essen tial truth of Cristianity untouched, Whe- ther Mo-es wrote the Pentateuch ; whether Isaiah was written by one person or two; whether Daniel and St. John wrote the books bearing their respective names mat- ters not,—the truth or falsity of Christianity is not bound up with any of these or simi- lar questions. @ohappily they have been discussed as well by Christians as by un- believers; as if the very citadel of the Christian faith must stand or fall with th+ issue here involved, and so the faith of multitudes has been shaken, and the peace and comfort of thousands have been disturbed by this confounding of issues which are really distinct.” (Mc- Kim).

II. It is not necessary to point to the miracles of Christ to prove His Divinity. “It ix @ popular idea that Cnristenity rests for its attestation exclusively on the evi- dence of miracles wrought expressly for the purpose of proving its truth, and the principles which have been laid down by many learned writers have greatly formed this conception of it. I cannot bat think that this view of the subject is a very im- Mira- cles constitute an important portion of the evidence of Christianity, but by no means the whole or even the most prominent part

Our Lord affirmed that He had a higher witness than that.of miracles to the truth of His Diyine Mission. “This js in- disputable if we accept the fourth gospel as atruthfulexponent of Wis teaching. His own express assertions assign the first rank to the manifestation of His own divine reason and character as afford- ing proof that He came from God, and to his miracles the second rank. This must necessarily have been ihe caeé if Te is the Light of the World. The existence of the sun is best known by his visible shining. Our Lord’s divine working, viewed as a whole, constitutes the highest evidence of His mission. In this is included the moral asnect of his miraculous acts. Miracles would indeed be a convincing evidenge of adivine mission to those who witnessed them. But their testimony weakens with the lapse of time. We who live in these latter days do not, tule, behold miracles so our belief in than must be grounded on the testimony of others. To us, therefore, they afford an inferior evidence compared with that whieh they yielded to the actual spectators. We have to establish the facts by along ehain of histerical - reasoning, involving the discussion of several abstract qnestions which would require more time than wecan devote to them in these lectures. So then we will not argue that. Christ must be the Son of God because He wrought miracles; but rather we shal! urge weighty reasons for believing in his superhuman’ personality, independent of the truth and reality ofthe miracles He is alleged to have performed. Our argument will be thie: The charagter of Jesus iv superhuman; the teaching of Jesua in his- tory and in the individual soul is super

human, the work of Jesus is syperhuman; therefor e, He was Himse rhuman, He was the Christ, the Son: of God, and

as such it was natural that heshould work miracles. Instead of proving Christ by the miracles, we prove the pniracles by Christ.”

And this we aim to do by meeting the intelligent unbeliever on “his own ground, and in the arguments used conceding everything to him, but what we can prove clearly and satisfactorily to be untrue or unreasonable, illogical or unhistorical.

HIGHLAND FOUNDRY COMPANY, 1836.

The Highland Foundry Company has the honor of being the tirst and only concern of its kind in the city of Boston.

The Highland Foundry Company is a Massachusetts Corporation. Its officers being Mr. Wm. H Towne, President; Per- civa W. Elliott, Treasurer and Manager, who, with Capt. Albert Cooper, Mr. Geo. Elliett and Mr. Charles B. Wheelock, com- prise the Board of Directors.

Under their able management the busi- ness has rapidly progressed. Improvements have been made, new designs invented, alopted and introduced, new appliances patented and added,

By these means the Company has popu- larized its products with the public and retained firm hold on the dealers.

The consequence of the energy and en- terprise is shown by the three very signifi- cantficts. 1. Wuile they make several lines of Higland Ranges, the total amount of which reaches way into the thousands, during the past few years they have made and sold upward of 20,000 of their High- land Grand Ranges (their leading produc-

, tion) and have yet the first serious objec-

tons. 2, Notwithstanding the hard times which have prostrated many lines of in- dustry, the comeu for Highland Ranges was such that the Foundry has been run more days this year and put out more iron into ranges than ever before. 3, At this season of the year the Foundry has usual- ly shut down for a month, but being at the present time some 300 ranges behind erders no shut down can be permitted.

These facts, which so clearly demon- strate the condition of the businese, speak volumes for the management, and require no comment,

The Highland Grand Range, as a fin. ished production of its kind, unquestion- ably “stands at the head.” A model of neatness and of convenience, the cook that has it not has indeed “lost a pleasure,” that of “cooking with a Hightand Grand Range.”

To add still further to the popularity of Highland Ranges, the company has patented a gas attachment, by which nitaus a gas stove fully’equipped can be added to the range at nominal cost,

The utility of this attachment can be readily seen, 1. In times of emergency, double work can be done at the same time. 2. When the fire is low and a mea! must be prepared hastily, and 3. During the hot summer months it is a joy and a comfort, thus affording such a multum of conven- ience in @ parvo of space seldom seen. 4. Hot water can be supplied to the boiler either in connection with regular water front or independently.

This Company transacts a business which for volume places it among the foremost in this particular industry.

Their products are shipped to all parts of the world; to supply their Western trade a branch office and salesroom are located at 114 and 116 Lake St., Chicago, Ill; also at Buffalo, N. ¥., and San Francisco, Cal, are located wholesale distributing agencies.

The concern enjovs ample facilities for handling this extensive business, the plant covering Over two acres of ground space, atfording over seven acres of floor space.

The Highland Fouudry Company is up to date in every respect, and for beauty of design, artistic workmanship, convenience and quality of its products, “stands at the head.”—Boston Herald, Jan. 7th,
