The Exeter Advocate, 1890-4-24, Page 4Mks THE W.N.I. SANDERS, Editolr, T OR8DAY, .APRIL 24th) 1890, dxLi'. C LiIDSTONE. ON TFIE flOT, SCRIPTURES. To Mr. Gladstone's versatility there appears to be no limit—to his untiring ldustry no cessation. Ever sinee his school boy days when he wrote for the aestumns of the ETON MISCELLANY he .has been busy with his pen,even when She. cares of State wei ;lied heavily 1.110 - GB hint, To the magazines and reviews he is a regular monthly contributor. The literary world is familiar with "The OMirch in its Relations with the State," in which he•took strong ground infav- er of the maintenance of their union; Rath "Church Principals considered in their Results:" with his contributions to the EDINBURGH REVIEW; with "Re- mark on Recent Comtnereial Legisla- tion'(1345); with "Studies on Homer and the Homeric age;" with "Ecce Home; with his pamphlets ou the Irish Church. question;w.ith his book on "The 'Vatican Decrees,"and with many other works. of later date. Mr. Gladstone is not only a politican, but he devotes march attention to theological questions. His latest theological work is a con 4ral'hutIon of GooD WORDS entitled"The Impregnable Rock of Holy Scripture." Mr. Gladstone sets out by remarking that although ignorant of Hebrew, he Isas had opportunities of judgment ma- terially larger than that of a very large portion of the community, and that be- cause of his forty years' earnest study of prehistoric antiquily and its docu- ments. in regard to the Greek race,and of his knowledge of the weaknesses of specialists. The accuracy of the text, the age authorship of the books, and such. a question as whether the closing verses. of St. Mark's Gospel have the authority of Scripture, must be deter- mined by literary evidence as much as the genuineness of the pretended pre- f1trstei the tEneid or of a particular stanza in Catullus. Those, says Mr. Gladstone,who believe in a divine rev- elation as pervading or as contained in the. -Scriptures, and especially who ac- cept the doctrine of literalism as to the reticle of that inspiration, have to lay their account with the following among other considerations, which it is hard for them to repudiate as inadmissable. 'here may possibly have been (1) im- perfect comprhension of what was com- municated; (2) imperfect expression of -what. had been comprehended; (3) lapse afnaensory in oral transmission (4) er- rors of copyists in written transmission; () changes with the Iapse of time in the sense of words; (6) variations aris- thg from rendering into different tongues; (7) that there are three vari- ant.chronologies of the Old Testament. Mr. Gladstone asserts that his aim in noway embraces a controversy with the modern or even the extreme devop- ments of textual criticism. He asks his, readers, not as philosophers or ehristians, but as men of sense, to look hroadly and lal•gely-•at the subject of Holy Scripture, andnever allow them selves. to be won away from broad and }erase contemplation into discussions eliieh, though in their own place leg- 3iimate, nay, needful, yet are second• aryr, and therefore, when subtituted for the primary, are worse than frivolous. The impression prevails, Mr. Gladstone {continues, that in England and other countries the operative classes have at the great centres of population largely lost. their hold upon the Christian creed; 31ht°tl is; he declares,merely means that their .sense of the dignity and value of the sareed record are blunted or effaced. 'I1e.leisured and better provided class- es.gearN: generally yield to the claims of rcripture, within certain limits ` li- gnoehing to a "reversal of the respect- ite.&ttitudes which prevailed in the infancy,' ofi our religion. Then the apoorr`were• the principal objects of the Ilereonal ministry of Christ." Mr. Glad- stone declares his purpose to be to deal lin aslight outline at least, with one of the causes of this change—that is, the 'wide disparagement of the Holy Scrip- *'a11es: recently observable in the surface et:nrrent events of prevalent opinions as stegards their title to supply hi a su- retne degree food for the religions - thought of mltn,and authoritative guid ante for his life. Mr. Gladstone points stat alit that among the suppositions Which tend to produce this disparage- ment are the following: (1) That the sxateltisions of science as to natural ob- Jietta' have shaken or destroyed, the as, alK•rtions of the early Scriptures with re - 1 set to the origin and history of the orf 1 and of man itsrinci p al lith. p p ablt lt; (2) that their eontetits are in many coxes ofiiensive to the moral Wee, ard unworthy of an eufightened ago; (3.) that nian made his appearance all the world in a condition but one degree a- bove that of the brute creation, and by slow aid painful but continual progress has brought himself up to the present level of existence; (4) that he has ac- complished this by the exercise of itis natural po.wers,aud has never received the special teaching and authoritative guidance which is signified nuclei the name of Divine revelation; (5) that the more considerable among the different races and nations of the world havees- tablished from time to time their respee- tive religious, and have in litany eases accepted the promulgation of sacred books, which are to be considered as es- sentially of the same character with the Bible, (6) that the books of the Bible, in many most important instances, and especially those books of the Old Testa- ment which purport to be the earliest, so far from being contemporary with the events which they record, or with the authors to whom they are ascribed, are comparatively recent compilations from uncertain sources, and therefore without authority. Mr. Gladstone hopes, in his second, article, to present an op- posing view of the spiritual field in re- spect to such suppositions, not in a sys- tematic or complete way, but in a pop- ular or partial fashion. SIR RICHARD'S WASHINGTON MISSION 1 A Washington despatch to the Boston Globe, announcing the progress of Sec- retary Blaine's alleged continental re- ciprocity trade scheme, says: "Though the most important of the American neighbors of the United Stat- es, Canada is not represented in the Pan-American Congress that country is embraced in Mr. Blaine's plan. Operat- ing directly through Mr. Hitt, now Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in co-operation with the Liberals or free traders of the. Dominion, Mr. Blaine has succeeded in rousing on the other side of the, border a tremendous feeling in favor of unre- stricted reciprocity with the United States as shown by the vote on that proposition a few days ago in the Can- adian Parliament,when the reciprocity party carried their side. "Sir Richard Cartwright,leaderof the Canadian Liberals and the coming Premier of the Dominion if his party can gain ascendancy oyer the Tories, has within a month or six weeks been in Washington in consultation with Mr. Blaine. The agreement was then reached between the two statesmen that while Mr. Blaine was pushing re- ciprocity with South and Central Ameri- ca in the Pan American Conference,Sir Richard Cartwright was to do all in his power to lead Canada up to free trade with the United States." [11 Everybody in this country has heard that Sir Richard Cartwriflit has been in Washington, but it will be news to Canadians to learn that Mr. Blaine has succeeded in "arousing a tre- mendous feeling"on this side of the line in favor of unrestricted reciprocity with the United States, "as shown by the vote on that proposition a few days ago in the Canadian Parliament, when the resiprocity party carried their side." The Liberal leaders and their organs have been strenously endeavouring to "arouse a tremendous feeling" in favor of free trade; but so far their efforts have proved utterly abortive; and the present indications are, that they will not be more successful in the future than they have been in the past. [2]Regarding the Liberal leadership, the good people of Canada who belong to that party and their Liberal re- presentatives in Parliament will be sur- prised to learn, on the authority of the Washington correspondent, above quot- ed, that Mr. Laurier has been deposed and Sir Richard Cartwright elevated to the position. Sir Richard, for the purpose of magnifying his position while manipulating matters with cer- tain United States politicians, may have represented that he was leader of the party,:but the change in the leadership has not been announced in Ottawa. Later on, perhaps, the secret history of the gallant Knight's intrigues at Wash- ington will be made publie. ENCOURAGING HOME PRO- D UMTS. From a statement published in the Halifax Heralil•,George I;t: roresythe & Co. claim to be the pioneers in bring- ing fresh meat from a distance to Hal- ifax, To a representative of the Her- ald, Mr. Forsythe, the head of the flim stated that they cotnmenced to handle Canadian beef last October, Previous to that they had handled ;l. Sample earl but in October they eol lmeuees1 acture bueinosa. Since then they have lin- ported. and sold 41 carloads, or about 45Q tons of fresh beef. Each carload represents 50 heads of cattle,, and a value.of $1,500; so that the value of Canadian fresh beef sold by theca with- in a few months is over $3O,00Q. This large quantity of beef had been sold ex- clusively to butchers at from 6 to 7i. cents per pound, They never sell less than a carcass. That would be unfair to the butchers. They never now han- dle Chicago beef. The people prefer. the Canadian article. 'Besides,the new tariff would drive American fresh beef out of the market. "0f course, I ap- prove of that tariff," said Mr. Forsythe. The firm received a ear of Easter beef which, Mr. Forsythe thought the finest ever seen in Halifax, and which would sell at 8 to 8N ets, by the carcass, Mr. Forsythe went on to say that the new tariff would insure the Canadian mar- ket. For twenty years his firm had handled the productions of several Chicago firms; but finding the Canad- ian article equal in every respect to the Aglerican hereafter they would con- fine themselves exclusively to the pro- ducts of their own country. This is a "pointer" for our Canadian free traders who are working in the interests of Americans. A PARADISE FOB CRIMINALS. The Chicago News places the follow- ing among other head -lines over a long account of the prevalence of crime in that city: Paradise for crooks; Free from arrest in Chicago; Thieves, mur- derers and sleek confidence mon who are protected. The first paragraph reads as follows: "Public gambling under police protection is not the only great evil that disgraces Chicago. On the public thoroughfares are to be seen, daily, scores of murderers, thieves, and all-round crooks who have flocked to the city during the last year, with the assurance that they are safe from ar- rest, The police know their faces and records. But like the ,gamblers they are free from molestation. Like the gamblers,too,they are granted immun- ity from arrest and are allowed to ply their nefarious vocations with that same serenity that the :skin -gambler fleeces his victim under the very eaves of the city hall." The police `depart- ment of the city is described. a utterly eorrupt,and many of the ,men; who con- duct the afiairs of the corporation are represented as being disreputable in character, notoriously dishonest, and unfit for the positions they, occupy. The "tough" element appears'to be in the ascendency in Chicago. Ero' OR Mind wandering cured. Books learned in onereaning. Testimonials from all parts of the globs.
