difference is due to an exereise of mere
instinct. Canine beasts of prey have
no effective claws to detain with firni
rem a struggling 'victim; which, if, not
disabled at the 'very moment of cap-
ture, might escape throue sheer des-
peration. Be this at it may, the _wild

THE SEAFORTH EXPOSITOR I
Are We to have a New Religion.
( From the Free Trade --New "Yea.)
s •
k To the thoughtfal observer .of social
, developments no proof need be adduced
in support of the assertion that the
02 present is a time of unusual, religious
activity in all parts - of the civilized
✓ ;World. The more theughtless•may be-
d reminded of the increasing number and
✓ growing acerbity of divisions among
the leading sects of all faiths, and skew?
of Protestantism, in Italy, Spain, and
e South America, the increase of athol-
icism in England and in park cif Ger-
many, the Ritualistic excitement in
England, and in the -United States, the
threatned split itraong the. Jews. and
Morwons, the growth of new- sects, the
r7se of Spiritualism into a church, and
even 'the' organization of so-called infi-
delity into religious bodies, with priests,
• and emtelems, and forms of worship:
Nor are great politicalemea.sures want-
ing to illustrate or prove the depth of
the movement; the disestablishment.of
the Irish Church., though in its execu-
tion and anticipated influence intended
as a merely political measure, is yet in
its essence purely a tribote to the iights
of religion • while the freedom of wor-
ship in .A:ustria has soarcely any, real
political character, and the proposed
(Ecumenical Council at Rome is meiely
the expression of a powerfal desire on
the part oi all Catholics to restore to
their church organization its endanger-
ed unity'•and :compact force. Every-
where the social iufluence, and in many
places, especially arith us, the political
influence of the smaller religiOus circles,
the co0,regatien, is quietly but rapidly
and leading to earnest differences of
views. • The general interest finds ex-
pression in various minor ways. • Led
by one or two of the great Now York
dailies, newspap, rs throughout the con n -
try regularly report the sermons preach •
ed by leading clergymen. and there is
everywhere much lesa of ;that kind of
profanity whieli finds a vent in ready
appeals to certain' things at inopportune
mon-lents and in public places. -
What is the' cause of this growth of
religioris activitY, this increased inter-
est in matters of faith, this !deepening
respect for whate-ver man thinks sacred?
The esSence of all religion is the re-
cognition by man of -11. power 'superior
to himself ;all faith is but the unresist-
ing submiasion, all prayer but silent ap-
peal, all worship but the open homage
to that higher Power which. all men re-
cognize, though they may forgA. In-
fluences of yarious kinds affect the in-
tensity of all reen'S religions feelings,
and vary the degree of consiousisesa
with which men recognize their. weak-
ness. In titnea of prosperity, wben SUe-
cess f011ows our efforts, we are strong
and confident in our strength. In times
of danger we involuntarily pray. When
We encounter difficulties that we can-
not overcome, we apply for ai911. Never
since the Reformation, was thete a time
when the great masses of people every-
where felt so utterly helptess and wret-
ched as they de now. The. mute des-
t,tir. of growing pauperism stifles the
means of joy over our so-called material
progress. Suffering peolile everywhere

the earnestness of thtught. The outer
form of the Church, with its hierarchy,
and its --rituit7s, and devises, and em-
blems, may prove unequal to the task
of regeneration. But the fundamental

• THERE are three things worth 'putt-

1. That the present form of govern-

ters connected with the north west.
Taking these together, we assume it
among the possibilities thAt McDougal
may be back in Ottowa and Howe in
his place within a year. Nova Scotia
may be turning in favor of confederat-
ion, but it will be many years before
Howe will ever again be to the blue-
