Either Dr. Sexton Or the Bible is .wrong. The only questiort is-- which? Gee or both? Third -Dr. Sexton states that man has inhabited the earth for probably 18.000 years Yet the Bible gives Adam as the first man, giving his agee and the age and genealogy of his proe.euy down to Noali,to Abraliain,to David,to Christ, so that ahnost any school boy can fig ure it up. But no amount of figuring can make it 6,000 years since Adam's time. Most scientists of to day place man on the ' earth at least 150,000 years ago. rl'he Dragrees, with nei ther the Bible no science -Two at least are wrong -which? Or are all wrong? The organic evolution of mau is accepted by practically all purely scientific minds on earth to day in all countries and under all religions. Facts, logic, reason and experience have been too much for prejudice and evolution has simply forced its foe the unwilling belief of millions of human ity. Yet Dr. Sexton disposes of this whole vast subject with oue word -- bosh. No attempt to refute the fal laciee or expose the errors of the evo lutionists. Special creation and organ- ic evolution cannot both be true. Sciencei stands by evolution. Dr. Sex- ton stands by special creation.

'ander goes on two legs and the others on four , Hovv the number of legs, can effect the immortality of mind, I leave to the subtle intellect of the doctor to determine. There were several other posigions takenby the learned doctor, that apper to me so untenable, unscien tific and inconsistent, that withyour kind permission I will review them in another epistle. Thanking you for your liberality and space. I am Yours &c. INVESTIGATOR. Feb'y 6th, 1393. To Eioroe Or THE. EXETER ADVOOATK. 8111,,--/Chle is an age of discussion. Al) questions, soma], political and re- ligious are • being submitted to the fiercest ti iticism and being tested be fore the highest tribunal viz, human reason. Any question to thly, that will not bear tritimsm, a.nd discussion, is being relegated to the region of obliv ion. Res Di Sexton, recently deliver. ed in town three leetures on scientific Christilinity under the following heads: 'Toes death end all" "The scientifie as pect of pi et and "The Bible in har mony with modern science." Let me say once for all, that I think Dr.. Sex- ton is an educated, refined, clever man a. practised debater and a reasonably fair man when telling one side of a story. Let us allow once for all that Dr. Sexton is absolutely sincere and honest in his very peculiar scientific conclusions. Allowin„0all that, Dr Sexton will not object to the criticism he so freely bestows on others, First then let me,point out one weakness of Dr, Sexton d position. In reviewing the opinions of Tyndall, Huxley Dar- win, Spencer, Hume, Lecke, eec, &c, wherever an opinion was quoted to prove his position; it WAS quoted with infinite gusto. These men were then held to possess the brains and giant in- tellects of the earth, Bat when for purposes of his own he saw fit to dis- agree with any or all of them, to say the least he paid scant courtesy to their opinions. In some instances he openly derided their opinions. Prone the wholesale way in which he denounced some of the opinions of one or al!, a listener would conclude that Dr. Sex on was the only great and original scientist on earth tceday, and had cov- ered the whole ground of human know- ledge and even stepped far beyond the ionsds of human. knowledge,as defined by all the philosophers,past and present, Dr. Sex ton alone excepted- If these opin ions were good in one case why ;so ut- terly bad and non sensical in the other case? Some of Dr. Sexton's conclus- ions werc.‘ so opposed to, and unwar- ranted by, his prismises, that to any or- dinary intellect, deprived of supereset- ural aids, they seemed to verge on the ridiculous. For instance, er Sexton set out to prove that death does not end all and that man is essentially, natur- ally and pei-se immortal. The Doctor said that, the immortel part of man, his soul or spirit is really and , essentie ally his mind or thought. • That mind or thought had no permanent or abso- lute connection with the brain, but could exist and actandependently of the brain, and would continue to act eter Daily after the death, decompsition and total disintegration of the brain. That is, I think a fair statement of Dr. Sexton's argument, But it is so oppcs- ed to all scientific thought. human ex perience and the commonly accepted knowledge of mankind, that I must protest against its accuracy or aacept elide. We know (if we know anything) that the kind of thought evolyed de pends entirely oix the size, quality, use, balance and culture of the brain. The brains coutaine,d in a neauderthal skull could not evolve thoughts simi• lar to a Spencer,or a Dr. Sexton. We know that simple pressure on a partici.' lar part of the brain suspends its ac tion and thought, force cannot be lib- erated from that portion. A man gets a blow over tile region of memory with depression of skull or a blood clot in side the skull. Memory is suspended and will never act, until pressure is re moved A good. stout "healthy man, active, physically and mentally, has rupture of a blood vessel within the skull, a large amount of blood oozes out forming a large clot, that pressess on the entire brain. All thought, enao- tion, memory intellect, will and every brain function ceases. Automatic life only goes on kept °Tilos by the smal- ler, corporeal brains, governing auto matic life such as the sympathetic plex Us Or system. -Human eepirience says, that if that clot were eternal, loss of mind would be etermi I The scion titic view of tkought is this -Brain is the most complex chemical body we know of. Thought is the most stibthle and re- fined force we know of -Brain is a specialized battery or organ secreting and evolving thought. Thought is secreted and evolved by the brain as bile is by the liver. Every hour of thought produces disintegration of e definite afnount of brain tissue. The disintegratioft of brain matter pro- duces thought force as, the disintegra, tion o coal, by burning, produces heat force, If thought can and is only pro- duced by the disintegration of material brain substance. If brain tissue is necessarily rnorcal, and eyen when living is constantly undergoing waste and repair, so that the whole brain is wasted tied restored in a few weeks or months, and if thought only exiats as a seoretion of brain, how Dr Sexton contends scientifically for the immor- tality Of thought, iS one of those things passing my comprehension: If the Rev. Doctor had contended that soul was some divinely yitalized aether that in some manner, inhabited this human ehell, receiving brain impres siert anl registering knowledge and 'thought, endowed with immortality as a (Retied entity, capable of expanaien and growth, then Dr. sexton Would be dealing, with the purely Speeulativesi, 0.

The debate in the school house last Wednesday night was very successful in spite of the cold and very bad roads, A large number were in attendance end the quiet and orderly way in which it was carvied on would have put some meetings held in Exeter to shame. The subject was "Which has done the most good in civilizing the world the sword or the pen". The sword side was well upheld by Messrs. Silas Stanlake, Carrick and Prouty while the defenders of the Pen were Messrs. Sam Stanlake, S. Stanlake Jun. and Tilos Sweet. The chairman was Mr. N. D.
