il, Our second argument was from | ** Effect to Cause.” There is no law more universal than this, every effect must have a cause. We cannot begin to imagine the very humblest and meanest effect without a cause. And that this argament is admitted as sound by our opponents, is shown by the following

words of Herbert Spencer, one of the ablest and most candid of agnostic teachers: ‘‘ Re-

z the nature of the univers®, we seem d te certain unavoidable conclusions.

ects and actions surrounding us, not less than the phenomena of our own consci- oushess, compel us to ask a cause ; in our

search for a cause wediscover no resting place until we arrive at the hypothesis of a first cause; and we have no alternative but to re- gard this first cause as Infinite and Absolute.”

Ii!. Our third argument was from Design, as seen first of ali in the Order of the Universe and then in its adaptations. ‘One of Grst things that must strike a reflective mind, in surveying this world in which we live, is the prevalence i it of order. not merely power, you may have power without order, without any evidence of mind, you have power in the earthquake, in the vol- cano, in the tempest which dashes the waves of the ocean against the rocks and engulfs the

ment, forming words, and the words forming sentences, and sentences conveying intelligent ideas, then your reason would force you to the conclusion that such order implied mind. Look at the regularity of the seasons, the movements of the planets in their orbits, look at nature’s arrangement of colors combining utility with beauty. We observe order and design throughout the whole universe, and order and design imply mind so evidently that

To suppose the contrary would be like supposing some vast cathedral could have been designed by a jelly fish, or that Handel’s ‘* Messiah ” could have been composed by an accidental combination of Nor is this argument upset by the widely accepted theory of evolution, since without the hypothesis of a presiding mind di- recting its processes, the doctrine of Evolu- tion is a greater mystery than that of special creations. John Stewart Mill and David Hume, both confessed the validity of this argument

[V. Our forth argument was from ‘‘ The Moral Nature of Man.” Conscience exists in all of us. It comes to us, and speaks to us in defiaace of our will, when the will is set again- st hearing it, and still more against obeying it ; when the will is bent on stifling and drown- ing its voice. It warns, threatens, punishes us, against the will and with a voice of author- ity, as the delegate or deputy of a perfectly Whose is this perfect au- thoritative, supreme will to which all consci- ences, even the most erring, point back. ? Whose if nbt God's? We have a conscience which does not counsel, but which commands us to do what is right, and to resist what is wrong, and this consciousness is a delusion, this conscience a false witness, unless there be a God on whom we morally depend, and who is our Holy Creator and our Judge. Each of those arguments offer reasonable testimony that God exists. Taken altogether, their evi- dence is overwhelming, and has all the force of a aemonstration. We, therefere, have no hesitation in declaring to all the world our as- sent to the universal creed of man, ‘‘ [ believe in God.”

Our next task was to show that it was in the highest degree probable that this God should reveal Himself to mankind in addition to that revelation He had already made in His various creative and providential acts. And here we crossed swords with another class of The existence of God is only denied by Atheists, (a very small section of Agnostics freely admit that there is a God, a First Cause, an Infinite and Eternal Energy from which all things proceed, but they declare that He is unknowable, and reject the idea of revelation as in the highest degree improbable. They contend, that hav- ing organised the universe, either by evolution or by direct creation, He has nothing more to do with it. It is governed by fixed and un- alterable laws whose sway extends throughout the illimitable extent of the universe, binding alike the smallest atom and the mightiest

sounds.”

planet, and with which the Creator cannot interfere. In a word, all things through all ages seem bound with a chain of physical aecessity by the law of cause and effect.

It therefore devolved upon us to produce evidence to show why we should expect God to reveal Himself to us. Acknowledging that abstractedly it may be very difficult to believe in supernatural interference with the ordinary affairs of the universe, and that it would re- juire an overwhelming amount of evidence to prove their reality ; we still contended that the depraved state of mankind—the presence of evil everywhere—the vast amount of suffering which abounds in innocent and guilty alike the failure of past experience to provide an rdequate cure—the hopelessness of eradication in the future (all of which, and much more is acknowledged by John S. Mill in his post- humous essays) rendered it more than highly probable that if there be a God who contem- plates man with feelings of benevolence, He would make some interposition in his favour, and we illustrated this as follows: It is be- yond reason, in our present state in this city, to expect otherx cities in England, Canada or the United States, to send us pecuniary aid ; but ifa fire destroyed our town—if a flood swept away our dwellings—if a pestilence de- cimated our population, our case would be en- tirely altered, that not only would foreign assistance be looked for—it would be unpre- cedented if it were not given.

We then asserted that not only was it prob- able that God should reveal Himself to man in lis state of destitution, but that He had done so in the person of Jesus Christ, and in proof of our assertion, we brought forward the uni- queness of the Character and the Teaching in the Work of this Christ. In setting forth these we made no appeal to Scripture as in- spired or infallible. We took the gospels at the value set upon them by the most Jearned and critical agnostics, that they were indepen- dent accounts, written at latest within seventy or eighty years of our Lord’s death, and that they were reliable so far as they related the principal facts of the life of Christ, when these facts were not miraculous.

The character of Christ stands out unique, towering abeve all in its solitary grandeur, and all thoughtful sfydents of history—the foes as well as the friends of Christianity—have done homage to its beauty and force. It is unique in the absolute purity of His childhood :—No other great character of history is so described. It is unique in its innocence combined with its matchless force, unflinching courage and anconquerable purpose. are not united in the rest of mankind. unique in it absence of all conciousness of sin.

would find them all combined and harmonized, then you must look for them in the perfeet ex-

ample of Christ. In Him all virtues are ex- quisitely balanced. You can find no flaw, no inconsistency. As the judge whe condemned Him to death, had to declare, ‘‘I find no fault in this Man,” so eminent unpelievers have given their testimony in His favor. Renan calls him ‘* the moral chief of human ity.” John Stuart Mill describes Him as ** the ideal represet tative and guide of men,” the author cf Supernatural Religion tells us that in the Christ we have, ‘‘ the rare spectacle of a life uniformely noble and consistent with its own lofty principles.” Channing, the great, if not the greatest Unitarian, writes: ‘‘ I know nothing so sublime.”

And yet they say he is only aman. ‘‘Only a man, and yet perfect !” Nay, it is impossible from the very facts of the case. Such a state- ment confutes itself. It shatters His perfec- tion. For what becomes of His own claim ? Ile not only allowed His disciples to think and say that in His Divinity lay the secret of His Character, not only so taught that His enemies thought this was what He meant, ‘For a good work we stone Thee not, but because Thou madest Thyself equal with God,” but also claimed it for Himself, for when chal- lenged, ‘‘ Art Thou the Son of God?” Ile answered, ‘‘I am.” ‘‘If then, this be not true, He cannot be perfect. Ile is deceived or de- ceiving, an imposter or a madman, for who so mad as the man who is mistaken as to His own personality?” Therefore, Christ must be Divine.

The teaching of Christ is unique, and plainly transcends the bounds of human conception. It is unique in its purpose to establish a world- wide kingdom on this earth in the minds and hearts of mankind—not only during His own life, but until the end of the world should come. No otherconqueror or leader ever con- ceived such an idea. It is unique in that it satisfies all the higher aspirations of man, since it tells us as ho other religion has done, first, whence we came. Secondly, How to obtain freedom from the sense of guilt under which man’s conscience universally labours. Thirdly Where to Jook for a perfect ideal of moral rectitude. Fourthly, What destiny awaits us beyond the grave ? It is unique in its astound- ing claims. ‘‘ Again and again our Lord as- serts His Divinity. Take only the first three gospels if you will, and what do we find? He is David’s Lord ; God is His Father in a uni- que sense; He will save the world: He will raise the dead ; He will judge the nations ; He promises a perpetual presence of Himself te

men’s characters you may see some virtue Him to death because He was guilty of blas- like this or that prismatic colour, but if you phemy, in that He made Himself equal with

God, and sooner than undeceive them He died upon the cross.”

**There is but one alternative. Either Jesus is what He said He was, and His teaching true and wise, and catholic, and authoritative, or He is noi what He said He was, and His teaching is not true, but false, not wise, but wildest raving, not catholic, but cruelly decep- live, not adapted to men’s needs, but mocking those who think to find help in them, not authoritative, but grossest self-assertion.

What, then, becomes of His character? If His teaching is such as the deniers of His di- vinity would have us believe, then because ‘out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,” He cannot be the the beautiful ideal foes as well as friends allow him to be, and His character is shattered to pieces. Re- ject his tea¢hing and all is hopeless confusion. Therefore Christ must be divine.

The work of Christ is unique. Unique in its triumphant progress from the first centuries

of our era until now. Persecution, torture, death. could not check it. It won its way, gradually but surely, until kingdoms and em-

pires acknowledged its sublime rule; and since It is absurd to suppose that a handful of Galilean peasants should have been able, in the course of a few years, to spread this, ther religion, over most parts of the then known earth in opposition to the interests, pleasures, ambitions, prejudices and even reason of man- kind; to have triumphed over the power of princes, the intrigues of states, the force of customs, the blindness of zeal, the influence of priests, the arguments of orators, and the philosophy of the world, without any super natural assistance, therefore, Christ, its founder, must be divine.

The work of Christ is unique in the social reforms it accomplished, in ameliorating the condition of the wife, the slave, the child, the masses, the sick, the helpless and the captive, In this it stands alone, without peer and with- out rival. It is unige in its power over indi- vidual souls—its power of personal renovation of character. Other philosophers despaired of the world. They gathered about them a few chosen disciples, to whom they made known the arcana of wisdom, which were two pre- cious to be revealed to the many. They shook their heads at the misery and ignorance and men, and confessed that they could do no- thing tohelp them. But none are so fallen, so degraded, so wretched, but the work of Christ may reclaim them. All this is so sta- pendous that enlightened reason must refuse to believe that it could have proceeded from any merely human ource. Therefore, Christ must be divine.

After appealing to the character, the teach- ing and the work of Christ to prove that He was a revelation from God, our next point was to establish the fact of the Resurrection of this Christ; and this brought us into oppo- sition with still another class of unbelievers, viz., the 89-called Rationalists, who, while ac- cepting our Lord as‘a niode: and divine- ly inspired, and receiving the Bible in a te- tain sense as the V/ord of God, yet reject, as

unworthy of credit, all that is miraculous in it, and, consequently, deny that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day.

In discussing this question. we again met our opponents on their own ground, and aid- duced as evidence only those first four Epis- tles of St. Paul’s, which, after the most merci- less criticism, have been admitted by almost all learned unbelievers to be written by that apostie within twenty or thirty years after the crucifixion. We pointed out that inci- dental allusions to history contained in corres- pondence was, asa rule, more reliable than an ordinary history, since it was likely to be without bias.

In this letter the Apostle makes twenty-five ot thirty references, direct or indirect, to the Resurrection, and not only asserts that it was a fact, but declares that Jesus had been seen on six diflerent occasions after He had risen from the dead, and on one of these. occasions five hundred brethren were present, of whom the greater part were stiii alive at the time of his writing. Now the veracity of St. Paul and the other apostles is unquestioned. No one has dared to say that they intentionally deceived their converts. The only explanation that can be put forward to refute their solemn de- clarations is that they they were themselves deceived.

Two theories have been propvunded by un- believers in proof of this. The first is called the vision theory, which is that the disciples, anxiously expecting their Master to vise again, took the word of an excitable and enthusiastic woman, who declared that she had seen Him. This theory is diposed of by the testimony of St. Paul, that Jesus appeared repeatedly not only to one disciple at a time, but to numbers assembled together, and there was no more likelihood of them all being deceived than there would be of our being deceived if some person well known to us, who had died a short time ago, should appear in this church now and hold converse with us. Again, if it were only a vision the disciples saw, why did not the Jews produce the body of Jesus, which musi still have remained in the tomb, and so prove once‘and for all the falsity of the report- ed resurrection, If, on the other hand, the disciples had the body, they could not possibly have been deceived as to the facts of the case, but were deceivers of the worst sort, which even sceptics deny,

The second theory. is called the “Swoon Theory.” which sapposes that Christ did not really die, but fainted away, and after awhile revived, crept from the tomb and returned to His followera. The absurdity of this is evident when we consider the ap- pearance the victim would present after the scourging, the loss of blood, the agony of crucifixion which had been endured by Him. Christ could not have thus de- ceivel His disciples even if he had de- sired todo so, And surely it requires gr& er credulity to believe these explan- ations than it does to believe the actual

resurrection—greater faith to be an infidel than it does to be a Christian.

“To anyone who cousiders the matter dispassionately,” (says Canon Maccoll) “the resurrection of Christ will appear to rest on evidence ae irrefragable as the as- sassination of Julius Ceasar. In neither case is thathematical proof possible, nor would it in either case be reasonable to demand it, Christianity ie nota specula.- tive philosophy, but a religion for the guidance of human conduct aad the re- generation of human nature; and it cer tainly demands faith in its professors. But what practical! system that has to do with conduct does not? Trace to its last

analysis ithe evidence on which repose the sanctities of domestic life, the inheritance of — property,

the right of our gracious Queen to the throne which she adorns, and you will find yourselves brought to bay by an objection which ie from a legal point of view unanswerable, namely that the evidence is of a kind which cannot be tested. The whole edifice reete in every case on the unconfirmed veracity of a single woman. Yes! the right to every title and property in the land rests on no other foundation than our belief is the chastity and truthfuloess of the mothers of England. So true is it as Bishop Butler says, that * probability is the guide of life.” The probability for the Resur- rection of Christ is historically so over- whelming that much mere is needed to upset it than guess work theories, for the most part mutually destructive, which have been directed against it during its long and diversified career.”

We further demonstrated that the existence of Christianity with ite marvel. lous history and beneficent influence on mankind, was a standing attestation of the Resurrection of Jesus. Rob it of its miraculous origin, aud Christianity itself becomes a miracle which has to be accounted for. It stands absolutely alone in the history of religions. Putting aside other considerations of great importance, the whole organization of Christianity, its sacraments, its discipline, its ritual, are al] based upon belief in our Lord’s Resurrec- tion and Ascension as fundamental facts and theological axioms. Abolish belief in the Resurrection and the Church becomes an effect without a cause, there- fore those who reject the Resurrection are bound to explain the genesis of the Christian Church, which so far they have been unable to do.

Lastly, we considered the question of miracles. We examined the objections

raised by unbelievers, and discovered that they were not valid, since miracles do not

violate the laws of nature; nor is there any scientific impossibility to their taking place;and Hume’s plea that “they are contrary to all experiences,” proves too much and defeats its own end, and Arch- deacon Farrar is right when he says that “the logical consistency of Hume’: con- Clusiou has been shattered to pieces by a host of writers as well sc« ptical as Corist- ian.” “People talk about the iveredibility of miracles. What miracle can be com- pared to that of the creation, however you view it? The wonderful thing is not that there should be an occasional counterac: tion of the ordinary movements of natural forces, but that these forces should have come into existence. The great miracle is the beginning of things. Once admit that, as the constitution of the human mind obliges us todo, and the question of miracles becomes a mere question of evi- dence; antecedent objection there can be none. The Beingwho made the universe is necessarily free to be manipulate its processes at His discretion;and tu doubt either His ability to do se, or His willing: nees for adequate reasons, is an impertin- ence on the part of men.
