Huai:MS, Inspector ClIAS 13ELL, Agent for Exeter and vicinity THE REALITY OF FAITH. BY OsOltelt iron:MS. We are all able to sympathize with the man who said. "Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief." This man believed '• he had faith- But no sooner had he said his creed than there came upon hirn a deep consciousness of the weakness, of the inadequacy, of the igno- rance, of the limitation of his faith. Whet did he believe ? He believed that Jeetis of Nazareth weld help him. He looked into His face, he heard His voice, and he recom nized in Iiim a helper in his time of need. Yet had you asked him questiens about Jens of Nazareth he would have been puz- zled how to answer.. Was He only another rabbi? was He the long expected Messiah of Israel? was Be the incarnation of the Son of God 3—this man would have replied, " 1 know not. Yes; He is e rabbi, but what more 1 cannot tell." Not a Sunday school seholar in any Christian parish but could have posed bite. That is, Sills man had faith, but he was notably lacking in knowledge of theology. Yet deans helped hiln. The density of his theological ignorance was not dark enough to keep the light of that benediction out. The man was blessed, though he was igncrant of systematic divinity. The in- ference is thee there is a difference between theology and faith, That there must be a difference between theology and faith would seem to be plain from the fact that theology is difficult, cam- pliceted, full of entauglements, and impos- sible of acquirement except to people of in- telleetual ability and training, while faith is expected from the simplest Christian. Faithondeed, is sot beside the gate of en- trance into religion. It is olio of the pre- requisites of the initial sacrament. First faith and then baptism. Evidently this cannot be theological faith, or else nobody should be baptised without a satisfactory theoligical examination. Only the graduates of divinity schools %wield have any right in the Canistien Church. Only the parsons could be saved. The parsons? How many of them, in these undogrnatic days, could stand the test? Few are even the parsons who could get into this theological heaven except on large conditions. Another reason for being sure that theca. ogy and faith are not by any means identi- cal is the fact, whieb is attested by many unfortuuate experiences that it is quite possible for men to be excellent and acettr- ate theologians without being very good Christians. Everybody knows that when onr Lord was here the people with whom He was able to findleast in common, against whom He hail to use the strongest language of condemnation were the professors of systematic divinity in the theological semi- naries of Jerusalem. Jesus found more good in publicans and sinners then in scribes and pharisee& There is a difference, then, between the - elegy and faith. The Christian religion in its demand for faith must, not be understood as requiring a knowledge of theology. The Apostles' Creed may be recited by very perfeat theologians'. "Lord, 1. believe ; help Thou mine unbelief," may rightly be the voice of our own heart. What, then, is the difference beleveen theology' and faith? This will best be understood by asking, first, " What is theology? and, then, What ie faith ? What is theology? Theology is ordered religious knowledge. It ia the technical, scientific and exact statement of religious truth. The business of the theologian is to gather together all the religious truth Celt can be found, to classify it, to set it in a system, and to draw inferences from it. Re is to do in his department what the man of acience does in his. Plainly, then, theology will contain a great many statements of a great many de- grees of importance. Part of it will be of very considerable value: part of it might be lost or forgotten and the world be quite as happy. Plainly, also, theology will include a great many mistakes. It will not, in this respect, be much different from the similar statement of physical truth. It will have Its guesses and its misses. It wilt haye its working hypotheses, some of which will be presently found to be unworkable. It will advance and recede. It will abandon some of its positions. Theology, that is, like any other science, will grow with the growth of num. There is no sense in decrying theology. There has always been theology, there al- ways will be theology, and there always ought to be theology. Theology is to be censured only when it forgets its place. Theologians are not to be accounted per- nicious members ef society so long as they mind their own business. Yes; there is a large element of good in even the most metaphysical theology. There will aleetys be metaphysics not only in theology, but in every other department of thinking, erelong as man continues to be a rational and inginring being. Metaphy- sics is the region into which we get when we take for our guide the:nark of interroga- tion. It is the only possible answer that can be made to certain questions. Every objeob of thought, if it is questioned long enough, takes us into metaphysics. Here is a scrap of paper. There is no ap- p e or an ce of metaphysics in the look of this paper. But ask the limper where it came tram. You will not ask very long before you get back to a plant growing ni a field. And there you are in the presence ot mys- tery. The mystery of growth, and the mystery of life—these are even yet 'beyond' discovery. Nor can they be adequately discussed without the aid of metaphysics. Every stone in the street represents the mystery of matter. The wisest man of science does not know what matter is. Every bit or metal eepresents the mystery of force. Who will define force? Emerson said that every object that can be seen by human sight is a window into the infinite, It is also a great wide-open door into the metaphysical Take the simplest question in morality, "Thou shalt not steal." Is there any metaphysics about that? Is there anything transcendental about being honest? Sup. pose we set beside the commandment—as we inust if we think—the question, Why? Why must we keep the • moral mw? At once we are precipitated into an arena of gladitorial metaphysicians. We most keep the moral law because it is the will of the Supreme Moral Being. We must keep the moral law because it is the dictate of .our own enlightened conscience. We must keep the moral law because this is the verdict of the world's experience of pain and pleasure. There are three different =ewers. Every one of them involves metaphysics. Now, what moral philosophy is to mor- ality just that is theology to faith; (Sues. tion morality and you get moral philosophy. Question faith and you get theology. But who will maintain that only the moral phil- osophers can be moral? How, then, can it be maintained that only the theologianscam have Leith? A good man said to me the other day that no one •had a "right to any that he believed the Apostles' Creed un- less he is able to answer the metaphysical questions that are thereth s ggested. Bit ought it not to be said with equal foice that no one ought, then, to keep the command- ments idess he is able to answer the mete - physical questions that are suggested by the morel law? This, however, comes out more plainly when we leave our inquiry about theology and ask the other question, what is faith 3 Faith ie the acceptang as tree what we are told. If I see an event happen, I know that that event has happened. That is knowledge. If I am told by somebody iu whom I have confidence that an event has happened, I am as sure of it as if 1 bad seen it with my own eyes ; but my certainty is not knowledge, it is faith. Faith, then, has regard both to a proposition and to a person. It may be thought of in both ways, as the acceptieg of the truth of a, statement, and as the peeling of faith in a person. These two elements enter into faith. Faith, then, depends upon anthority. Authority is one ot the essential factor's of human thought. We cannot get along without it. Authority is no more to he decried than fmetaphysies. Like the theology it is both right, and valuable, and necessary so long as it keeps its place. Authority gets dis- tinctly out of its place, when ie speaks iu imperatives, when one says to another "you must not think, you must let me do your thinking for you." To such a demand no rational being has any right to yield; no, slavery. tvfeoryr .one hour. That means intellectual Authority, however, is in its proper place when instead of commanditig, it bears wit- ness. Perliaps a better word than " author. ity" would be " testimony.' Authority in its right meaning signifies the witness, the judgment, the verdict, the deeision of one who we consider to be competent to dr - aide. In this sense of it, we areal] the time letting other people do our thinking for us. We hey° great reason to be profoundly gratefnl that we are so mild° that by this band of faith we can reach out and accept, atid make our own, what others give us. Otherwise, the world would be fall of grown- up babies. Rush person would have to dis- cover all knowledge for himselL . As it is, we all help etch other. All thegenerations of the past help us to do our thinking. All the discoverers, all the explorers, all the in- ventors, all the deep reaeoners, help us to do onr thieking. No man lives, though he be the most independent of all free thinkers, who does all his own thinking. The (treed is the verdict of the groat body ofspiritual masters upon the truths of re- ligion. Let a man, if he can, work it all out for himself. Let hitn test each article by all the tests he knows. The Christian Church welcomes all such testing. But let no man blame another who, not being of a , theological bent of mind, is content to ac- cept what the church teaches. . This person is satisfied that the church is wirier than he is, He is glad to have set down in thiabrief form of words the simple statement of the truths in which the great company of the Chrietiaai saints and 'scholars have from the that agreed. He looks back and notes that queetioners have tested this old creed with every acid known to theological chemistry, 1 and that the creed hes endured. He makes up his mind that the tests of the present day questioners aro likely to result. in the seine assurance of the validity of these an- cient truths. And he asks no questions, he puzzles himself with Ito problems, he vexes himsell with no doubt. He accepts the Christian creed as 110 accepts the law of gravitation, worrying as little about the theological difficulties of thoone, asaboutthe mathematical complications of the other. It seems te me that swill a decision and am ceptance is a sign of most excellent good sense. But. Math is even simpler and easier than the acceptance of a proposition, it is the put- ting of our trust in a person. Frain accord- ingly,is level to the attainment even of a lit- tle child. Christian faith is faith in Christ. The Christian looks into Christ's face, like the man in the text say- ing,: Lord I believe. And like the man he may not have an answer to any of your questions. Yet he believes in Christ. Can he believe in Christ without knowing how the divine and human meet in him? Cannot a ohild believe in his father 1 without knowing how body and soul the I spiritual and the physical, meet in him? IThat is what Lath is at its best. It is that loving, personal abiding confidence. No question in the world can touch it. No puzzle can perplex it. It, includes defini- tion. It doos not lend itself to the system- atic logic of the theologian. It is a matter of personal experience. You may prove to ' the Christian that even the Christian creed is MU of error. It makea no difference. How that may be he knows not—one thing he knows. He knows Christ, and Christ has helpedhim, and he loves Christ. Jesus Chrisb is the beginning, anti the middle, and the end, andthe whole of the Christian faith. V The Lovely May flower, BY E. 0. TONES, M. D.

CROMWELL'S CHARACTER. •,••••••• BY ellAntiaS S. MAY, Never was the government of the great protector 130 steong—perhaps England her- self was never really so great mid command- ing among the nations as on the day of his death. And this in spite of all the enemies he bad made, in spite of the malice of fac- tions which be had crushed and silenced, of the vengeful aete of the caviler and royalist whose cause he had overthrown in battle, and of a standing offer of 000 and the hon- ors of perpetual knighthood to his assassin front the young exiled king across the chan- nel. Ten conspiracies to take his life were unearthed in bia short reign. All this and these, and yet he could hold on firmly and grandly to the end. What vigilance 8 'What pcwer 1 Never wee he to feel the assassin's dagger or be brought to the seeffold or the block, or sent to breathe his last, a hopc. less exile, en same barren rock in the sea. No, he was to die at last at the very height of his. power, on this fortunate day—the day of Dunbar and Woreeeter—in the royal palace of England, and to be buried among her kluge with a vast funeral pomp and a wide-witaing grief such as never followed a hereditary king of England to his tomb. And Nature, herself, as she had. seemei at Dunbar to light up with glory his greatest victim y, now clothed herself on the day of his death in robes of terror awl Week de- spair as the awful tempest swept over the quaking Wand aad the seas, and toppled down the houses of the affrighted and grief.. stricken city. What a coincidence that in latter times another here and conqueror, Cromwell's superior intelleat but his inferior in moral greatness, should pass out of the world in the midst, of a like temptest which shook and roared around that desolate island in the Southere Oceau 1 Doeg inariniete n0. tare, indeed, know awl feel when mighty heroes expire? Cromwell died et the comparatively early age of 59, of his old enemy, the tertain ague, the only enemy that ever conquered him. Ile was worn down with public cares, with watching and with domestic griefs. In his last moments as he ley dying, he murmured : " tly work is done." And what work it had been 1 ompara- tively short, but groat among the greateat in all the wide sweep of history. As a soldier in battle and a commander of armies, Cromwell ranks among i he half- dozen great generals of the world. If we consider simply the disparity of numbers, the uniform and unbroken success, the smallness of lus own losses and the terrible losses and overthrows inflicted upon his enemies, he stands at the head of all com- manders, ancient or modern. Hannibal, Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick and Napoleon etieh lost great battles, disastrously, and 1 Clew received checks, but Cromwell never lost a battle, or skirmish, even—he was never beaten. He may not have been equal to Napoleon, or some of tlie other great captains as a &mewls', a planner of campaigns—it is certain that he never had the ea= oportunities—but as a taqi- (*In, a commander on the battlefield, in the immediate presence of the enemy, be ranks with Hannibal and Frederick, and I k now of no other great soldier 8 hisory en- titled,in this reepect, to bear them company. The enemy that met him on the field of. battle was never left to renew the contest. He won no barren victories, and. It is compere. tively few great battles brought campaigns and ware to an end. .As a statesman ana rewrite seems greater even than as warrior and commander; espe- cially when we consider the difficulty and greatness of his task. He did not usurp authority. He was no usurper as that term is understood in history. He took no man's rightful place. The king was dead, the na- tion in the throes of chaos and anarchy— there was no other leader. Cromwell never had any rivals. He took the helm in the storm front duty and necessity. To use his own homely but expressive illustration, he was "the constable, set to keep the peace in the parish." He never wanted to rule alone. Ho appointed councils and summou- ed parliaments and oely dissolved them for good cause. He wanted a written con- stitution, like, ours of this day with O strong executive and a legislative de- partment, representing the people, and he gave England the best constitution she ever had in his "Instrument of Govern- ment," as it was called, under which he took power after the expulsion of the rem- nant of theLong Parliament. He was con - staidly anxious to govern according to law, if law could be had. But when there was tee law, or law was made a pretense for in- justice, then he could take power into his own hands, but only for the sefety and wel- fare of the nation. Without the strong arm of Oliver Cromwell England might have lapsed into something like the anarchy and chaos of the French Revolution. It did, indeed, begin to do so after his death, and it was this that reconciled thoughtful men in England to the restoration of the monarchy. Had Cromwell lived he could have held power no matter how long his life. It was only after he was gone that the state fell to pieces, and king and cavalier came back to insult the dead lion from they had kept at a safe distance while he lived. • He was a just as well as a practical states- man, and in all his rule worthy of his great title of " Lord High Protector of England" —with all his austerity and imperious will he was ever the champion of toleration. He protected the Quakers, and defended all sects in theirrights of conscieuce. This was a good deal in that day and from the greatest of the Puritans. He even admitt ed Jews into England after three centuries of expulsion. How grandly does this ex- ample of the man whom history has brand- ed as a "tyrant" compare with the conduct of a powerful and so-called Christian nation of our day, which is now outragipg the sympathies of the world in expellieg this long -persecuted and unhappy people from its borders? What shalt 1 say of Cromwell's foreign policy—his magnificent rule and manaem /tient of the foreign relations of England? There is no grander chapter in the history of that great nation than this. Think of it —he had come to power, himself an 'untitled commoner, in that age of kings and king - craft, by the execution of a legitimate king upon the block; and he was the cbief of the despised Puritans while nearly every other ruler in Christendom was a Catholic; and yet he brought nations to his feet—was addressed by kings as "the tnostinvincible of sovereigns," "the greatest aud happiest of princes"—and he exalted the power and majesty of England to their loftiest poMt. As the great Protestant ruler he demand- ed and enforced justice for Protestants everywhere in the world, stretching forth his imperial hand to rescue them front op. pression in d isaint foreign land's. He made Lsr0nce, England's old traditional enemy, his tributary and ally, and sent Blake, with his rehabilitated navy, to'humble Spain and Holland and thnnder ie power and victory avec n d the ti ed i ter ran can. This was really the beginning of ltegland's naval ouprem- my, never since lost, foe in like manner We 'Savo seen, almost at the treshold of our times, the daring ambition of Napoleon pause on the shore where England's navies still ruled the seas, and Nelson uttered her, v th°itof erofwnIhmerflaoltinfgmentheilteelelsi s. mke aud But witb all this, witli all that he did for liberty and for England, ineu 8037 yet that he eves a "despot.' Grant it, if you please, but let me say here a bold thing, perhaps, but one which I believe. The best kind of ruler in the world is a despot, if you only have a eood one. The beet kind of govern- ment in the world would be a despotism if you could only be sure of your despot. But the trouble is that brains and conscience and will cannot be transmitted. The world never saw better or greater rulers than Cromwell and Frederick, and they were bath men of despotie will. I do not believe in the old vox populi, vox dei doctrine nor in the cheaper modern maxim--certedrily as applied to go-rernment —4` everybody is wiser than anybody." For it is not true, Our great ignorant, sluggish, perverse humanity has ever to be lifted up and b.eld up by great men And God-given leaders who stand, out and tower above themes.% I know the gibes and sneers and prejudice which for 200 years were poured upon the head of Cromwell. But I would take the word of 4 elm Milton against) that of all the lying sycophants of royalty from the restor- ation to this day who heve attempted to blacken and defame his character, It took the 'thane' spear of the genius of Carlyle In slay theses lies. Tied great hitter of lies and puneturer of frauds and shams has brought out the grand character of the 211011 from his letters and speeehes, and hence- forth Cromwell takes bus rigttful place in the pantheon of the world's greatest men— the avenger of outraged liberty and justice in war, their great protector in peace. No, Cromwell waa no mountebank, stellar. lequin, or hypocrite or dissembler who by faeaticiem or hypourisy, or juggliug good fortune had mounted to the place of kings. He was a, real king of men, And he neis no monster of cruelty, as he has been painted. He was al Ways tender when duty,as he saw it, did qot make him stern, Indeed, it is not Bieber(' the First who deeerves to be called Cater de Lion—"the lion-hearted"—Richard, the unfiliel 800; the cruel enemy* the hero of savage single emit - bat; the liali-barbariau warrior—but Crouse well, the dutifulboy who honored his father and took his place when he died; Who kept his old mother hi her laat (Iva with all ten- derness 0041 respect, like a queen dowaget in the royal palace of England; who, from the awful carnage of vietorious bettlefieltla, where in las terrible might he had embed anti trodden under foot the enemies of Eng - laud, could send loving messages to wife and children, and whose great soul moved to sympathy !Ind to tears by the sight of hu. man suilermg, ever protected the poor, the weak ona the defenselesa, while with his , Stern, high sense of impartial justice he could bring to the block a king who had op. pressed the people and trampled on the laws --Cromwell is the ideal, the true lion. hearted hero of England.

A man said that his idea of a nice woman was one who charmed with what he said and paid very little attention to the things he did. A nice woman is one who says good morning with a smile and good night with a blessing. A nice womaa is one who doesn't make you stiffer at second-hand with her aches, nor expect you to think there is but one doctor in the world, and that, he is the one of her choice. A nice woman is one who is evenly pleas- ed with the weather—that is, the tempera- ture does not affect her temper, and when the skies ram water she does not shower tears and groans everywhere. A nice woman is one who can eat what; s set before her, wear the clothes she pos sasses, and do both with amiability an without envy.
