PHYSICAL BPPIO:WY OB pltAYEB..
Whilst much that is irreverent,
nonsensical and even foolhardy may
be said in the discussion of so pro-
found and complicated a subject as
that of the physical efficacy of prayer,
the eternal truths of God can not suf-
fer. The clergy, the laity and news-
paper editors have been discussing the
question with more • o1 less ability,
candor; clearness and satisfaction
through the Toronto press. The Mail
precipitated the discussion by publish-
ing an article, in which, by implication
at least, it characterized praying for
rain as "a theological figment," and
wholly inefficacious, The 'matter,
plainly put, is simply another phase
of the keen struggle goili'g on between
Christianity and Agnosticism. One
of .the cardinal te'achingt° of old and
new testament scripture is that the
Almighty hears and^answers prayer,
favorably when, as 'rev D. J. Milac-
donnell says, "oar wants are urgent
and it is good that they should be sap -
plied, but unfavorably when we asst
what is not good for us." G. Mercer
Adam puts the issueclearly in saying,
"I cannot but regard the silencing
throughout Christendom of prayer,
even for temporal objects, as cant'
thing else than the destruction of be-
lief in everything taught us by roveaied
religion. If the Christian revelation
is of Divine origin, then belief in the
efficacy of prayer, which has a dom.
Mended place in it, is imposed on all
who believe that revelation." The
supporters d£•thebelief in the efficacy
of prayer in its widest sense, as taught
in scripture, havem tide many points in
the discussion thus far, of which we give
but a few. One was this : Was it not
probable that God would subject his
laws to his own will, change their
course or even overrule one law by an-
other if necessary ? Would God
create a universe beyond his own con-
trol, or the laws of whioll he can not
suspend or regulate at his will
Science does not pretend to tell the
origin of these laws and only denies
the probability, not the possibility, of
deviations from them, even as the
result of man's intercession. even
Huxley did tnot deny the possibility
of reiraeles, by mundane being

TSE MILL'S BILL PASSIM.
Tho• supporters of tariff reform iLT
the Stateshave won a splendid victory
in the passing of the Mill's Bill in the
House of Representatives, The bill
passed by a vote of 162 t5 149. The
Opposition was of the most stubborn
and unrelenting kind. Speaking of
the passing of the Bill, the 1M2aii says i
The chief importance of the event lies in
the fact that it is the first successful step
in the direction of carr u peesident
of tariff reduction suggestedY
Cleveland, and finally adopted by the
Democratic party at St. Louis. The main
principle of the measure is that, in order
to compete successfully with the manufao-
tared products of other nations, the people
of the United States must be able to secure
at the, lowest possible price the raw mater;
ials which they themselves convert into
;finished products: This is the ground
upon which wool, for instance, is paced
upon the free list. ];t is quite probable, of
course, that the bill will not. become law
during the present session of Congress. It
must now go to the Senate, which • is
Republican, and can, it is thought, defeat
it. Whatever the present fate of the bill,
however, the Democrat's have taken their
stand upon the principles uponwhich it is
based, and should they be successful in
November, will undoubtedly Make a still,
bolder effort to carry them pito effect, and
' to reduce taxation to a fair and just basis.
TH3i CLERGY VS. TSE LAITY.
The difficulties in the Listowel and
Bimcoe Methodist' churches appear to
be but manifestations of a spirit that
is abroad in these latter days—a de -
maid that laymen and congregations
be heard in the matter of having spir-
itual advises placed over them. Rev:
•eore Wood of Albion in a, recent
letter to the Mich breathed the liberfll,
:spirit of the age when he said : I An,
free to confess that if T. was starting
over again, with mypresont knowledge,
J would not join any Church where' the
laymen were not admitted in all courts,
mad comrnittees of the same." In the
church of England the tendency is in
the same direction. At a recent meet-
irig of the Syond of Nova Bootie. a re-
solution by Hon. Mr. Vail and sup-
ported by Hon. A.. G. Bones, asked'for
' amendment to the law, under which
on the presentation to *the bishop of a
petition signed by two `thirds of the
parishioners, asking for •the trans-
ferenee of a clergnlan to another
