" JULY 5, 1888.

lion. Mr. Chaplean’s Visit.

Hon. Mr. Cuapieav will be here in a few days or weeks He is, without doubt, one of-the most distinguished men in Canada. He is a born orator and has in- fluenced the political action of his com- patriots as no other man has done since Cartier. He rendered invaluable service to the country in the matter of Riel; and has in many other ways exhibited inde- pendence of mind and character worthy of We trust that

ind fittingly received by

the highest commendation. he will be wel! this Province ; and that our people may have the privilege of hearing his eloquent

voice from the public platform.

“The Religion of Secularism.’

Mr. Cuartes Warts lectured to a smal!

audience in the Market Hall last evening on this subject —Rev. S. G. Lawson in the chair. He said that he did not claim to have ‘the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” But he believed

that love of fair play, a desire to hear both sides of a question was characteristic of the age. He was willing to admit that others have some of the truth, while he came here in virtue of his right as a free man to state what he believed to be true. it is to be regretted that many persous in this age lack mental and moral honesty and activity. New truths are frequently; shunned, and old ideas are perpetuated. The splendid civilizations of Greece and Rome were marred by many evils—many of which continue at the present day not- withstanding the erection of the cross of Christ and the fact that the Christian reli gion has. had everything in its favor. A remedy for these evils is to be found in the religion of Secularism. Secularism is not atheism. God. Anyone who does sv is, in his opinion, # fit subject for a lunatic asylum. Nor is secularism infidelity. He is not an unbeliever ; he is not one who believes one thing and says another. He read the Bible in the same way that he read any other book—accepting all that was, in his opinion, good. Secularism has its destruc- tive side and its positive or operative fea- tures and teachings. He could not fully accept the generally received doctrine of human depravity; nor does he believe in the verbal inspiration of the Scriptures The Bible is an old book, and what suited people 2,000 years ago would not do now, in all respects. We want something more progressive. The religion of Secularism teaches (1) that the guide we should follow is reason aided by experience; (2) that supreme attention be given to the affairs of this world; (3) that we rely on science in the hour of danger; (4) that we be moral in conduct; and (5) that we should not fear death. All these points were more or less fully amplified. Mr. Watts is a fluent and eloquent speaker. He was repeatedly ap- plauded.

Professor Mellish replied briefly but forcibly. His remarks may be briefly summarized as follows: He said the lec- turer was using the weapons the Christian religion had put in his hands, and that the conditions of civilization, intellectual de- velopment and civil and religious liberty under which we live are all the outgrowth of its teachings and spirit, and placed the lecturer in common with us all, under obli- gation to it. The wounded genius of Christianity might exclaim in regard to the lecture :—

It does not deny the existence of

“* Keen was the pang, yet keener far to feel, I nursed the pinion that impelled the steel.” Christianity had not everything in its

favor at the outset, but the Opposite, and

notwithstanding had gloriously triumphed.

Secularism, as explained by the lecturer,

offered nothing new. Whatever of good

was claimed for it was embraced in the

Christian religion ; in fact had been taken

from it. Under Christianity the grandest

civilization the world ever saw has been developed. All progress in art, science, letters and philosophy was assis'ed and promoted by the Christian religion, whose principles are spreading happiness and peace over the world. The book of nature and the book of revelation do not disagree.

Their teachings are in perfect harmony.

The Greeks and Romans attained to a cer-

tain limited knowledge of God through

nature, without the aid of the revelation.

We possess in the bible God's inspired

word, on which we must rely at all

hazards. Secularism is barren and offers no sure foundation. The debate was contiuued by Professor

Burr and the lecturer.

The subject for to-night is ‘ Freethought, its origin and what it has done for the world.”

Underground Railways.

Both New York and Chicago are contem- plating -underground railways. In the case of Chicago, the site of which is level, it is strangely enough, proposed to locate the roads at the depth of 100 feet below the suriace, on bed rock. Electricity is pro- posed for furnishing both the motive power and light, thus avoiding the worst evils and
