Tt is often said that we religionists are failing in our advoCacy of Christianity because we differ in our theology.. I tell you we do not differ inside the church of theology half as flinch as they differ outside the church in science. If they reject our re- ligion because we differ on some minor points, we might just as well reject sci- ence because the scientists differ; but as far as I can tell,the war of infidel science against Christianity is not so severe se it used to be, because these men aro an- tagonistic to each other ; and as far as I can tell it is going to be .a war between - telescope .and telescopes -Leyden jas and L yden jar, chemical apparatus and chemical upattrata:e They do not deree 011 any t tine'. Do you suppose that this Bible theory about the origin of life is going to be overthrown by inell who have different theories -fifty different theitries-about the origheof life ? And when Agassiz comes otit and Juts both feet on the doc- trine of evolution, and says in regard to many scientists, "I notieo that these young naturalists are adoptiug as ti te- ories. in science things which have not passed- under observation." Agassiz saw what we all Ke -that there are men who talk very wisely who know but very little, and that just as soon as a young scientist finds out the- difference between the t( eters of a .witeD and the horns of a beetle. he begins to patronize • the Almighty, and go about talking' about culture as .1 hough it, were spelled c-u-l-c-h-asr-culdher 1 It makes. me sick to see these literary fads going down the street with a copy of Darwin under one arm and a case of transfixed grasshoppers and butterflies under the other arm, talkies- about the Survival Of the Fittest and 1.11X1etorsiPro- t01)lasm, and the Nebular Hypothesis, and taint; to us Com mon men as though we were fools! ' If they agreed in their theories and came up with solid front against Christianity, I say perhaps they might make 50010 impression t but they do not agree.' Darwiu charges 'mein Lamarck, 'Wallace upon Cope, Hersehel even charged upon Ferguson. They do not agree'-ifbout the grada- tion of the species; they, do not agree abotit embryology. What do they agree about ? Herschel wrote a Whole - c'hapter on what he calls the Errors of Astronomy, Le Place says that the moon was not putin the right plage; that if it had been put four tunes the distance from our world, there would have been More harmony in the Universe.

Only a little differenclie of twentv-eight niillioit miles. These mon 'gay' we do not agree • in religion. Do they agree in science? Have they come up with solid front to assault our ialoriOnS Christianity ? Even enathematicians do not agree. Taylor's Logarithms are found to have faults in them. Tito French metric sys- tem has wrong calculations. Talk about exact sciences! They are inexact. As far as with my little- knowledge I lia,ve been able to explore, the only exact science is Christianity. There is nothing under which you can so appropriately write, "Quod erat demonstrandum." But my subject ,shall no longer be Ale- fensive; it :must be agicresive. I must show you that instead of Christianity failing beck, it is on the march, and that the comingigeligion of the world is to be the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ ten thousand times intensified. It is to take possession of everyt hing-of ati laws, all 'manners. all customs, all cities, all na- tions. It is going to be so mighty as compared with what it has been, no inuelt more mighty that it will seeiu almost like a new nligion. I adopt this theory, because Christian- ity has gone on straight ahead notwith. stowing all the bombardment; and ie - fidelity has not destroyed a church, ne crippled a Minister, or rooted ont one verse of the B.ble, and now their tun - munition seems to be pretty much ex- hausted. They cannot get anytilifig new against Christianity; and if Christianity has gone on under the bond ardnient of - centuries and still continues to advame, lilay we nut conclude that, as the rm.:- der and- shot of the other seem to he exhausted, Christianity is going on t.vith more rapid stride. I find an encouraging- fact in 1110 thought that the secular press in this day and the pulpit -see111 hareetsed itt the stone team for the prod:an:Mon of the GoSpel. '1.10 -morrow- there will not be a banker on Wall street; or State. street, or Tnird street, who will not have in his- pocket or on his table treatises on Christianity, calls on repentance and Scripture passage. twenty or thirty of them, in the reports of the Christian churches in this city and other 'cities. Why, that thing 'would have been impossible a few years :tea New, on Monday morningetuid timidity evening the secular press spreads abroad more religious truth than all the tract societies of the country seread in the -other six days. Blessed be the tract societies! 'We hail them, and: we hail these °them I say it would have been impossible a fewyears ago. Hundreds of letters would have come to the secular newspaper offices saying: "Stop my paper; we have religion on Sunday; don't give us any through the week. Stop my paper.'

Besides that. have you noticed that- papers proclaiming them- selves secular almost every week have religious discussion in them.
