A WRONG IMPRESSION.

Fue Parrtor of last evening tries to

conrey the lmipression that Su Joun Macdona'd as a protectioarst merely fer | the sake of fice M: Pope ‘3s memoirs ef the state- man show that this conten- tic s false rhev set forth that, while Sir Jo iy have le a theoretical fee her, i ed out io practice, d

g the greater part of his career, the pru cipal of incidental protection. In 1846 he advocated from his place in Parliament,

| ction t jastries.” In 1859 he nged Ah assoclation é w hase chief aims was to promote & “ cotmmer- cial national pol cr. In 1850 he was a member of an administration whose Fin- nance Minister announced protection to

native industries as the policy of the Gov- nt In 1861 he defended this pol-

ernie icy i the course ot several addre=ses. At Kingston he said:

“We have, however, readjusted the tariff on imported articles, so as to secure sufficient revenue, and, at the same t.me, incidentally to encourage — manufac

ture. The success of our policy in hanes respect is already shown by the numerous manut actories of everv deseript on which have sprang up in both sections of the

Prov At Caledonia he said: “Now, in making the readjustment of the tariff, we alopted this system: in the iF took off the duties on ¢ j

ie

neces:aries of life which the poor man i

uses, as much as possible; in the second |

sf

place, we increased those on articles luxury, which the rich man buys; and, in the third, we raised the taxation on those goods which oar own mechanics can manufacture, so as In a manner to give them ine dental protection.”

At St. Catherine’s he sail:

“Some of you wi!l be surprised to hear ‘nat we have not raised the tax.tion highs: than it was during the time of Mr. Hineks We have, however, readjusted the tariff, reducing the duties oa articles of necessity and raw materials, and increasing those on what is required for home manufacturing

—this being a direct encouragement to our | eo" 5

artisans aud mechanics. It is as if for:

ly there had been halfa dollar daty on a |

hat, and half a dollar on a silk neck-:ie ; whereas now three-quarters of a doll lar on a hat and one-quarter ona silk neck-tie thus protecting the maker ef hats wh oh we can manufacture in this coun try, and letting the consumer have his sik ne ck-tie cheaper, which we cannot produce.”

The attempt of the Patriot, in tie face of the facts and statements set forth in Mr Pope’s volumes, to make the people be- lieve that Sir John Macdonald became a Protectionist in 1878, merely for the suke of office, is a scandalous misrepresentation of the dead. It is true that Sir John Mac- donald and Goldwin Smith and many other theoretica! free traders advocated and voted for incidental protection in 1878. But they did so forthe sake of the couatry,

—not for the sake of office. A change of

policy was needed by the country, and Sir John Macdonald resorted to the old policy which had been operated succesfully in old Canada.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The St. James’ Gazetie gravely an- nownces that it is “authorized to stat that there is no truth in the widely-propa- gated ramor that the Sulian of Turkey ha- expressed the strongest abhorrence for the atrocities practiced by white men in the United States on their negro fellow- citizens. It follows that the Porte has not offered to assist President Cleveland by sending a Turkish commissioner to the scene of the alleged ontrage-, and that the Washington Government has not replied by suggesting that His’ mper a! Majesty should mind his own buainess.”

—We note with pleasure that the morn-

g organ of the Grits of this Province entinues to make quotations from Tue Examiner. The more of these the better. But the Guardian continues to ignore a material difference repeatedly pointed out by Tue Exawixer—-the difference Letween the effect produced, in respect to many articles, by the impositic m of duties upon the finished products of foreign manufac- turers, and the effect produced by the ap- — of duties--as proposed by Mr.

aurier—-upou raw materials. The Guar- | dian asks:

“Tf it be true that the N. P. produces competition aud reduces the prices of fin- ished products, why does it pot do so in the case of raw material ?”

The answer is that the principle of com- petition does not operate in respect to raw materials obtained abroad az it does in respect to home manufactures. Anyone can see this, and therefore we need not Jabor the question.

— Lewis Morris, the poet, author of a re cently published volume entitled ‘“Songe Without Noves” and other poems, has writ- ten the following stanzas on the death of Sir John Thompson :

AN ELEGY, JAxuaRY 3rp, 1895.

Dead at the crest, the Lrown And blossom of his fortunes, this strong son Of our great realm sank down Beneath the load of honors scarcely won

Windsor’s Imperial towers Kept mournful watch above him as he say; His Sovereign lavished flowers In gratitude upon his honored clay.

Thre’ storm and stress afar He crossed once mere the troubled win- t y wave In that stannch ship of war By the old flag en-h-oudel for his g ave.

Great Empire, heart and mind, Let Britain’s sons closer and closer draw, Such lives, such deaths, can bind Our union closer than the bonds of law

May this career sublime This honored endns of an horoe! life, rf Bear fruit thro’ secular time In hearts drawn near deep peace-arerted

CHRISTIANITY AND AGNOSTICISM

forced bach on the question, “Why am I

_— —

Lectures Delivered by the Rev. James

Simpson, at St, Peter's Cathedral, Charlottetown, P BK. I, iH. “Is There A Gon.” It is evident that the first task in thi se ectures on the Truth of Christianity must

to prove the existence Of a persenal

‘

God, who is the moral governor of the universe. For if a person begins by a-k-

ng “Why am I a Christian ?” he is

a Theist ?” since Christianity presupposes |

the existence of a God, and declares that

He las reveal i Himeelt in redemptive action. So, then, to-night we will produce what proof we have for answering In the attirmative the question, “ Is there a Being of infinite in‘elligence, and power, and henevolencé and holiness, who made the world and all that it contains ?”

Ine chief arguments from which the existence of a personal God may be conti dently inferred are four in number:

I. The argun ent from the general con- sent of mankind in that belief

I! The argument from «fect to cause

lli. The argument from design

IV. Theargument from the moral na- ture of man

In each of these the witness is clear, and the cumulative weight of the four ought to be irresistible to every candid and open mind: at any rate, those who fail to be eonvineced on these grounds, will scarcely be so by any amount of abstract reasoning

: ; or mathematical demonstration

Let us consider these arguments in

order. I. Mankind in veneral consents to the belief in the De ty. Ihis is an undoubted t, Which nowe ean gainsay. Not only

lo Christians, dews and Mohammetans |

acknowledee a personal God —not only did the ancient Greeks and Romans and Evyptians — an All Father —- but pa wctic aliy every sation throughout the world pro fesses the same bali ef ;—the in-

numerable millions of China and |

Japan—the multitudes of India the wild tribes of Africa-the Amer can Indians, the aborigines of Australia the Ex qiumanx 0 ff the Asctic Circle, the Hottentot of the Tor Zone, all adore a Supreme Being; an! al

iough it is claimed

}

that tribes have been diseoverea who had

apparently, no conception of a deity, yet, ! 7 :

| if we allow these cla ms, which are by no

means clearly proved, the cxceptions are -till so rare that we may maintain that

the belief in a God is so nearly universa

} among the families of the earth as der

tly the inference that there 1s ee in the constitution of human me ature whic -uyzests the idea to man, or else that it is ne of the primitive belief= which has been handed down from the beginning of th race, until now ~Grot e=que and de vraded as are the forms in which this belief oftes

them, all whi h point to an original uni-

versal belief Ina pe rsonal God of power and goodness. Polytheis tie and other de- | | furee mu-t have fashioned these stones

vraded ideas of the Deity are evi — de

partures from the original. These are noi | | universal. The common feature> in obial

the manifoki forms of religion cant

testify toan original universal belief such

} asjast alleged.

How, then, are we to account for the immemoral, universal belief in God? It |

cannot be said that ix is a mere hi-torical | conclusion, an error of cur forefathers, which has been transmitted from genera- | tion to veneration because in the course of | « ‘enturies it wouid have been rectified |

|

The phenome non of inherent belief in God

| can only be exp'ained asa natur alins

w w: P is < , I | hich was then is a deplorable condition | |. jo cuit of the influence of the s:n<e-

upon the reason. There is in the generality of mankind a God-consciousness, just as there is a self-consciousness. It is true tha: some men seem to lack this Gol- consciousness just as there are cases of color blindness, or even of partial insen sibility to moral distinctions. But in such instances we may well print whether

he faculty has not been atrophied by ne- a , whether the eyes of the soul that once did perceive God have net b en pul out; whether this inability to recognize the existence of Gol is permanent, of oniy

temporary; whether the God-conscious- | ;

neas be not dormant rather than dead or non-exi-tent.” At any rate these are ex- ceptions to the general rule. St . Thomas Aquina® was but confirming the axiom of Cicero and Seneca when he said, “That wiich all men affirm cannot be nie? ’

| And it has been always held that univer-

sal testimony may be accepted as eviden e ef the natural intuition of mankind Therefore we mu-t conclude that when all men with common con-ent believe that God exists, God does exist.

If. The second argument we produce for the belief in the existence of a God, is that of effect aud cau-e. No law is more universal than this: every effect must hare a cause. We are ill, and we know

that -omething ry cauaed that illness. It one, and we know that some atmo- pheric chanzes produced that rain. We stumble

something has obscured the light of the sun; and &O, Whenever we see an event, we cannot help inferring that it must have originated in a canse, it being impossible even to imagine an event without a cau-e

Nature exists; we see it, we feel it. Now, reason tells us there is no work without a workman, and from this axiom, which admits of no exception, we conclude tha: there must be a supreme workman, apart from nature, who has created all thing ; that this workman must be from eternity eternal without ever having been created.

Nature has life, movement; but reason tells us there is no motion without a motor; and from this axiom, which admits of no exception, we conclude that there mu-t be a prime motor who has life in Himeelf and can never lose it.

Nature is regular, methodical in her movements; but reason tells us that there is no regularity without a regulation; and from this axiom which admits of no ex- ception, we conclude that there must be a supreme, perfect, intelligent regulator. “In other words the universe is an effect, or. rather a complicated series of effecte. It must have had a cause. That cause is God. We trace, indeed, a series of cause? a chain of causation:. But our minds com- pel us to believe that that series must have had a first term; that chain must have had a beginning. Every stream must have a source: the many branching streams of effects which we call the universe mu-t have jis souree, its fountain head. That fountain, that cause of causes, is God. He is the first great cause, the uncaused cause. Suc h, stated in the | wiefest terms, i< the argument from causation, and the principles on which it rests are among the

axioms of natural science. Let me give you an illustration. In the year 1846, astronomers observed an i irreguiarity in the orbit of the planet Uranus. “It was evident then that some hitherto unknown and hid- den force was disturbing his motion and deflecting his path in the starry heavens. Two mathematicians, one in Fiance and one in England, quite independent of each other, made a eeries of calculations and de- clared that in a certain fixed locality, in in- finite space,there was an undiscovered plan- et, sutliciently large to affect the motion uf Uranus. Astronomers in obedience to their commands searched tor this planet with tieir telescopes, end there at a di.-

(IL) Adaptation. Clos st. allied to ar-} ument from order is ti argument from | sai . . . - a or eaisine a . | County for taking affidavits in the Supreme jalaptation. By the word adapts ifion wel

mean a number of distinct things meeting together at the right time and place, which,

by their conjoint action, produce a definite

result, whieh result would have had no ex- i-tence apart from their conjoint action. An illu-tration will make this plainer. .A machive is an adaptation,—such, for ex- ample, as acommon locomotive. It con- ists of a number of distinct and separate parts—the boiler, the condenser, the pis- ton, the furnace, the wheels, ete., and the water and the fire to generate the #team., These are so combined together that by

ieir j int actionthey produce a particular resukt. To effect this the parts must meet together at the right time and place. If #ny one of them had been different from what it is the result would have been dif- ferent. Whenever we witness such com-

| bination’, our minds cannot he:p drawing | the inference that their existence cannot | ° . '

have been due to the action of unintelli-

vent forces, but that they mnst have ori- ginated in intelligent volition.

Various things in nature, in numbers so rast that our intellects are utterly unable to form any adequate conception of their mulritude, present similar combinations and adaptations, ouly infinitely more com- plicated and marvellous. A single in- stance —the eye—will serve for the pur- poses of illustration. Its adjustments are of a mo-t complicated character. Light is the result of the combined action of its various parts. If any one of them had been différent from what it is, sizht would have been impossible or imperfect. But, furtLer, by their modification, the power of sigh’ is adapted to the particular cir- cumstances of each particular order of animal. The ear is perhaps a more mar- vellous example of such combinations even gian the eye. To render the hearing of scien sounds possible, two compli- cated orgaus are necessary, viz, the ear itself, and that marvellously complicated instrument, the mouth, composed of the throat, the larynx and the lunge, which, by their combined action, produce the human voice. Nor is this all, for the ear and the vocal powers would exist in vain unless the atmospheric air had been ad- justed to convey the wave of sound to the exr. The whole animal frame consists of er of similar adaptations of | the most marvellous complicity, all nicely | adjusted to themselves and to the entire organism, and in numb rs pas:ing all con.- prehensicn, and we argue from this with assured ceitainty that there is a wise Creator Ly whom all these subtle and deli- ca‘e adjustments have been perfected. The force of this argument has been felt «ven by speculative unbelievers. John Stuart Mill confessed its validity. David Hume, as he walked home one beautiful eveniag with afriend exclaimed: ‘No: tne can look up to that sky without feeling that it mut have been put in order by an intelli- gent Being.”

“It has been asserted by many that this , argument from design is overthrown by the now widely accepted theory of evolu- tion. But that assertion cannot be sub stantiated, as can be shown in a few words without entering upon the discussion of so vast asnbject asthe theory in question brings ap and which would be quite out of place here. Observe then, that many cf the most able and thorough going evolu- tionists remain firm believers in Go’, aud even devout Ciristians. In them the ar- gument from design not only loses none of its force; but is even enhanced in power and beauty by that hypothesis. They feel
