We are this week called upon to chronicle the sad death of the eldest daughter of Mr. Wm. Clarke, who died on Thursday last at the age of 23 years. Her remains were followed to their last resting place, Nursery Ceme tery, on Sunday, by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Zurich, SUDDEN Dresere-On Wednesday morning 8th inst., the daughters of Mr, Henry Willert were horifiecl to find their father dead in his bed. He had not been feeling well for some time,but en the previous evening had seemed quite well and cheerful, entertaining some of the neighbors who had called. He leaves three daughters, his wife having died some years ago. Heart disease was the cause of his sudden taking off. Dr. Sexton and Scientific Chri$- tianity. EDITOR ADVOCATE Sir- In the time of King Janies, wheu our present Bible translation was made, every pra, minent theologiau was a Hebrew scholar. Hebrew was then a classic ti hinguage amongst theological students The gmttest men and scholars of that time translated the Scriptures; yet, Dr. Sexton boldly challenges their trans !aliens, elaimiog inaceui.acies, oasis, sions and misconceptions in their wording, Dr. Sexton does not claim inspiration for the translated version, only for the Hebrew original. If in spire t ion was necessary i n the original why not in the translation? Especial ly as Dr. Sexton claims that Christian it is peculiarly adapted to all races, classes and conditions of men. The doctor's position appears to be that the English scripture is not true, but that the inspiration of the Hebrew original renders such a fact of no consequence whatever. Again: Dr, Sexton says that light could exist before the sun and that it remained for this age to discoyer that such a thing was possible. Now, I know of no scientists to day that will maintain or acknowledge the correct- ness of that contention. Scientists say that force is probably as unlimited as space, that force to a minor degree in- habits the unlimited intea. stellar space as a refined 'tether or in connection with such refined aether. Force is at- tracted as air is, by rnatter in propor- tion to size and distance. Inter.stellar force is cold, dark, inactive force. The sun acts as a magnet, condenser and transmitter of this force, which force as it strikes our air, drawn by attraction, becomes light and heat Light without the sun as a radiator, or transmitter of force, is an absurdity to the seientist, Dr. Sexton agrees with the Bible in this, but science is opposed to both and consequently the Bible and science do not harmonize in this. Dr. Sexton says that Heaven is here on earth, aud that Heaven is only change of condition, but the next night says that this earth is gradually approaching the sun and will meet its fate in total demolition at no distant day. According to the doctor, Heaven cannot be eternal. Science knows nothing of Heaven and don't pretend to. But the Bible says Heaven is somewhere else. Elijah. Enoch and Christ, left this earth when they went to Heaven and Christ is described by Matthew as coming to earth at the final judgment, from other space. Christ &so se,..ss to his desciplos, "I go to prepare a place for you." Doctor Sexton contends we would know noth ing of Heaven if it were not for the Bible. The Bible distinctly says time and again that Heaven is away from earth, yet the learned doctor sees fit to totally disaeree with the Bible, his only source ef knowledge Once more: The doctor says that the sun did not stana still; or even the earth stand still; when Elisha was fighting the battles of the Lord. Sci ence says that the sun does not move around the earth, but vice versa, and that the person who wrote that was notaware of the fact. It also says that the heat generated by the earth stand- in e still, would, in a few hours, dis- serve the earth into gaseous or nebu larmatter. The Bible says that the sun stood still to give light to the gen- eral and army on that occasion. Dr Sexton says that it was simply a cloud or mist that intervened to give da?-k- ness for the occasion. The Bible says light was wanted, Dr. Sexton says darkness was wanted. Scieuce says, it made nu difference who won or lost on that occasion; that the victory usually goes to the stronger party; that na ture knows no party; that a change in the natural hours of day and night is an absurdity, -or a miracle. Which of the three is right? Why should Dr. Sexton dire.ctly go back on .the l3ible, which he gets, a salary to defend (from the Christian Endence Society) Science simply savs that it is not impossible for mira cles to happen, but that nothing, in the history of the universe up to date, proves that any ever happened, In this case Dr. Sexton tries to harmon- ize the Bible and science, and in furth erence of that object, disagrees with both. Again: Dr. Sexton says that our solar system and all known systems are moving slowly toward and arouud a central stin'of the Universe. The Bible narrative makes the earth the central point of the Universe Science says that space to the human intellect, is boundless; that all the space we know of by eye or telescope, is dotted with worlds; that no eye or tdl. escope has reached space without a world or planet; that the probabilities are, that if known space is dotted with worlds, unknown illimitable space is also dotted with worlds; that matter 18 as illimitable as space; that spaee has no limit or cireumference; that a center without a circumference is a mental absurdity; that Dr. Sexton's "Central sun" is purely a creation of his own ingenuity; that neither Bible tor science agrees with him; that lina- itecl space (and matter) is inconceiv- able and absurd; that unlimited space .(end niatter) is ineonceivable, bitt not absurd; that between thoae two condi- tions ecienee always adopt the latter and rejeets the former. Bible, Sexton and science again disagreeing. Again, which is right? And hese do fornier and latter harmonize as shown by the harmonizer. The 13ible says that God created the Universe in six days and rested the seventh. Science says that time and space are eternal, unlimited and self existent, that it 18 as easy to conceive of matter and force being self -existent and eternal as heing created; that giv- en time, space, matter and force, crea- tion was not necessary, but that he, man and all else, was conditioned by the primaries, time , spece matter and force. Dr. a says that tloe six days of Genesis were six vast epoehs, during which creation took place; that it is now the seventh day; and that the end of all things human is not far olf.-Dr. Sexton td to prove that prayer was seientiiiis and a value to humanity; that it was answered; that it was an swered not by holiness or merit of the party praying, but by the mood of the Deity. Now if this is the seventh day and God is resting; how can he hear and consider all the prayers, from this and other worlds, and create or form worlds, ae science says are being form- ed: both pf which conditions, viz, for mation of Dew worlds, or stars and ha - Mutation Of numberless stars by Intel ligent beings, are a3knowledged by Dr Sexton to be probably true. On this theme/ again, Bible Sexton and Sci once totally disagree. Again, why should Dr. Sexton tear the Bible into shreds, while he is paid to defend it? Dr. SeXton says that prayer is an- swered at times, not by merit or rule, but by cenclitions. He also says this is proved by the pleasure in praying The Bible makes only one condition' viz, when two or three are gathered together in His name. In that case Christ will be in the midst to answer. Science says that pleasure comes from a sense of duty done; that the Hindoo woman on the Ganges, experiences more pleasure in prayingto a wooden image than an educateeChristian in praying to the real God; that it is all a question of emotion, that the perform ance of any conceived duty always be gets pleasure; that prayer may be val uable to the race, as a source of happi iiess to those who conceive prayer a duty. Dr. & again fails to harmonize Bible and science, and again disagrees with both. Whether Bible, science or Sex ton are right on these questions is all a matter of opinion. Opinions are form- ed from evidence and must necessarily be limiest, or they would be changed. but that Dr Sexton failed to harmonize the Bible and science must be apparent to altheard him and know any- thing of science. Dr. Sexton is a clever man, yet the allotted task was evident ly above even his genuis. While minds differ, opinions will differ. While opinions differ discussion and centro. versy will continue. Recognising this :.:act it only remains for all to cultivate a larger, generous tolerance for all shades of opinions Actions make a citizen good or bad, not his opinions, Human happiness is the greatest good. Whatever increases it, is moral, what- ever decreases, it is immoral. Crime cannot produce happiness. The surest road' to personal happiness is living a good, charitable, generous, tolerant life spreading rays of sunshine on all with whom we come in contact. So say all the philosophers. YOUTS &c.

REPLY TO" B" Latt3.-An article appeared in the last issue of the “Ad- vocate" from "B" Line correspondent, which I think is an injustice to G -rand Bend section. In the first place, to make "B" Line correspondent aware of the reason why the meeting was called: The ratepayers in both sect- ions know that there is a proposed un- ion section to the north of S. & Nos and & S. No. 12, Stephen, taking a part of Hay section and building a school house somewhere suitable for all 0841, ' earned and as this new section is like- ly to be struce off, for the reason that the Lake View school should be further to the south from where it now stands The change in the section, north of Lake Vii3V7 is where the first change starts, they now haying a seperate school and a public school. Now if the arbitrators on the question above mentioned decide to strike this new section off, it will leave S. S. No. 8 and S. S. No. 12 too small, and it was for that reasbn that the meeting was call- ed to talk the matter over, as the Bend section went there neither begging nor borrowing from their neighbors Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the above space in your valuable paper and hopeing it will give "B" Line cor- respondent some light on the subject: ' RATEPAYER, G. B. Communication. Mn. EDITOR. Sin.-Noticing a piece in your last issue under the heading "B" Line, con- cerning the n eying of their school house, permit me, Dear Sir, to contra - diet a base error therein contained. In regard to our school house being a total wreck, I will admit, Sir, that it would not stand to be moved far, being, in the same condition as their own (un- fit for moving, but conlcl be raised and a stone wall pat tinder it by a local, farmer to save expenses as it would take considerable off the section's ex- port of fisl&nd tin to meet the ex' locusts already incurred) Now, Mr. Editor, our section not having any ex- ports of the kind trientioneci, and being in a first class financial standing, want to make it as easy as possible for our sister section (espeeially as the McKin- ley Bill is still in force) by amalgamat- ing with her.
