TESTS OF RELIGION.
IS IT REASONABLE AND HAS iT GOOD
MOtIAL QUALITY?
These Combined. Find Evidence is the
Practical Fruit of the Life -To Judge
of Things Beyond Man's Comprehen-
sion -Errors of Past Ages in Judging
Unbelief -What Religion Should Fear,
Rev. J, J.' Sutherland, M. A.,
writes in Toronto Sunday World;
In the Christianity of our time a
steadily enlarging place is being
given to reason. 'phiSc speaks well
-tot the age, and it augurs well for
the future of Christianity.
Reason is attic and good every' -
where else, why should it not be in
religion? We .distrust the man, the
utterance, the scheme, the theory
that is not reasonable; . why should
we not distrust -the religion that does
not commend itself to reason? ]s
not mania treason from God? is not
God "hilnself the Infinite Reason?
How, then, can true religion be ir-
rational? And why should we net
bring all religion; to the testof rea-
son? Not that .reason is the only
test that should- by applied. Religion
should be tested by its Moral qual-
ity, and especially by i ,s practical
fruit iri the life. But why; should it
not also be subjected to ,he test of
rationality?
We arc told that above': reason is
revelation, and that; this is man's
guide and supreme 'test I of truth.
But can revelation be above reason
in any sense that allows i,it to be ir-
rational or to trample under f,00t
tho reason of man? Is not God ra-
tional? If revelation comes from
God, must it not be a reasonable re-
velation? And if fundamentally ir-
rational .And
are found to be
connected with it do they not at
once create -a suspicion that they,
are extraneous elements, originating
-elsewhere than in the perfect Divine
Wisdom? How ;can we tell what is a
revelation from God except by the
use of .our i•ectson` Anel when we
have accepted a revglation how can
we interpret its contents except in
the light of the same faculty? Thus
-we see that the growing recognition
of reason in collection with religion
is not an nccidenta but a. necessity;
it is the result' of marl's growing in
telligence. It means religious pro-
gress. .
Of course, we have to confess at
every step that"there are many
things above Ulan's :comprehension.
Truth is infinite, plan's mind is fin-
ite. however far elan may push out
his voyagings in search of know-
ledge, a boundless ocean of the
"Ca nst thou by: searching find out
God? Canst thou find out the " Al-
mighty. to perfection? It is high `as
heaven, what eanst thou do? It is
deeper than the grave, what canit
thouknew?" Abysses are - every-
where thitt inial cannot fathom.
Heights are everywhere that he can-
not scale. But this does not 'mean
that there is any region where rea-
son does not hold sway. This 'does,
not absolve mon from obligation to
his own rational nature. Much that
is above and beyonal the power of his
reason fully to°grasp or understand,
he may well accept. But whatever
plainly contradicts his reason, that,
if he would honor the Creator 4010
has given him his reason, and if l.o
would preserve the integrity of his
own soul, he must not accept, or
even try to accept,
The association of the irrational
with religion always tends to pro-
duce skepticism, infidelity, al heisln.
the rejection of religion:. In lands
where religion is superstitious, the
ignorant accept it, but the intell i-
-gent
gent largely turn their backs upotr
it and drop it out of their lives.. As
religion grows more reasonable, t ad
purges -itself frons irrational ele-
ments with which it has lung been
associated, infidelity grows less.
Emerson says, "There, is a state-
ment of religion possible which
makes all skepticism absurd.'.' As
reason more and more .,entern. into
religion in Christian lands we -are
gradually approaching such le state-
ment.
Much of tvhat the past has called
unbelief and condemned as a ata has
not 'been a sir- at all, but tilegiti-
mate and comnlenddble excrci.0 of
human intelligence. it has been a re-- ,
fusal to believe the irrational. The '
impression is common that believing
is a pre-eminently religiouy farm of,
ether it is
mental . activity. But
religious or irreligious dotends upon
the thing believed. To bejlievc a lie
is not religious. To belie lc the irra-
tional or the self-contradictory is.
not religious. It ie as Much a relig-
ious duty to refuse to believe the
false, the unreasonable and the - de-
grading, as it is to believe the noble,
the reasonable and the true..
Religion has long feared reason,
and in 50111e yutirterss fears it still.
Soiree time it will leat•n that what
it ought to fear is not ,reason but
absence Of reason.
1 do not mean to convey the Mi-
..
pression that r•ca.sdnabl'cness is all,
that religion needs. Far from that,;
Any religionthat is to regenerate
c,ncrato
human society, must be deeply alive
with faith, hope, love, enthusiasm of
humanity, and consciousness of the
presence and power of Cod, I only
urge that to these elements it must
acid rctlsonableness, if it is to do the
work that is required in an age of
growing light and kno*lctige Brice
ours.
Reason will more and more come
into religion. Nothing can keep it
out. Nor ought it to bo kept out, be-
cause it;ia -of God. Its influence so
far has been good; 'it will be better
still as it makes itself more fulyy
felt,. It will purify religion of much
that is untrue, superstitious and
harmful'. It viii win tai religion many
thoughtful men and women -who have
long been repelled by irrational theo-
logies, it will remove causes of an-
tagonisIll 'toward religion- which
have existed in the minds Of many
Scientists. It will lift religion up
into the light, and give it new at-
tractiveness and rawer..

Lady Andover's Dream and Her Hus-
band's Tragic Death -Tse Murder-
ous Butler Who Was Scared Away.,
The Young Woman In Gray Silk..
In "The Story of My Life," by Mr.
Augustus J. C. Hare, are told the follow-
ing dream stories: When staying at
Ravensworth castle in November, 1870,
General Stanhope, talking of dreams,
said:
'Lady Andover, who was the daughter
of Lord Leicester, was with her husband
at Holkham, and when arse day all the
other men were going out shooting she
piteously implored him not to go, saying -
that she had dreamed vividly that he
would be shot if he went out. She was
so terribly eager about it that he acceded
to her wishes and remained with her in
the painting room, for she painted beau-
tifully in oils, and was copying a picture
of the 'Misers' which was at Holkham.
But the afternoon was excessively beauti-
ful, and Lady Andover's strong impres-
sion, which had been so,vivid in the morn-
ing, then seemed to wear off, till at last
she said: 'Well, really, perhaps I have
been selfish in keeping you from what you
like so much because of my own impres-
sions; so now, if you care about going out,
don't let me keep you in any longer.' And
he said: 'Well, if you don't mind, 1 should
certainly like to go,' and ho went. He
had -not been gone long before Lady An-
dover's impressions returned just as viv-
idly as ever, and she rushed up stairs and
put on her bonnet and pursued him. But,
as she crossed the park, she met her hus-
band's own servant riding furiously with-
out hist coat. 'Don't tell me,' she said at
once. 'I know what has happened,' and
she went back and locked herself into her
room. ; His servant was handing him a
gun through a hedge, it went off, and he
was killed upon the spot."
White in home in 1870 Mr. Hare heard
the following dream story:
Lady` Vernon' dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife in ane hand and a
candle lin the other, crossing the entrance
hall, eta] she awoke with la great start.
After' awhile she composed herself to
sleep again, and she dreamed -she dream-
ed that she saw the butler, with a knife
in one hand and a candle in. the other, on.
the middle of the staircase, and she awoke
with a great shock. She got up; she
thoughjtshe could not be quite well, and
she teak a little sal volatile. At last she
fell nsieep again, and she, dreamed -she
dreamcicl that she saw the butler, with a
knife ni one hand and a candle in the
other,tending at her bedroom door, and
she a1 oke in a. great terror, and she
jurrr•pe out of bed, and she said, r'i'll
have a end of this; I'll have an end of
these an
imaginations," and ;she
rushed to the door, and she threw ,the
door wide open. And there at the door
stood t e butler, wih a knife in one hand
and a .andle in the other. ' And when he
suddenly saw Lady Vernon in her white
nightdress, with her hair streaming down
her bask, he was. so dreadfully frightened
that he dropped the candle on the floor
and rut hed off down the staircase and off
to the 'stables, where there was a horse
ready t addled and bridled, on which he
meant to have ridden away when he had
murdered Lady Vernon. And he rode
away without ever having murdered her
at all, and he was never, never, never
heard of again.
Lord i Denbigh sent the following story
to Mr. Hare of a supernatural vision
which he had heard from Henry Malet
In 1883: In the winter of 1854-5 Malet
was in Paris and flaw a good deal of
Palgra're Simpson, the dramatic author.
One evening after a dinner Simpson ex-
pressed himself a believer in clairvoyant
phenomena. A few days afterward Ma -
let received an order to return to London
and hold himself in readiness to embark
for the Crimea with his regiment. On
the night before his departure for Malta
he received a note from Simpson iuclos-
ing an !antique ring. The note said: "Do
not laugh at me, but -while you are in the
Crimea, ,wear the inclosed ring. It was
given tp me by the last representative of
an old i Hungarian family on her death-
bed. In her family it was an heirloom
,and considered as a most precious talis-
man to preserve the wearer from any
externril'' halm." Malet slipped the ring
tin his finger without attaching any great
importance to the matter and the next
morning sailed from Portsmouth. We
will let; him tell the remainder of the
story: j
"Wei touched at Gibraltar, but It was
not till our arrival at Malta that I heard
from my family. Then -I found a letter
from nay mother dated from Frankfort on
the very day of our sailing from England.
It said 'I have been quite broken hearted
about you, and could find no comfort any-
where, ibut now all is changed, for a most
extraorninary reason. This morning as I
lay in bed in broad daylight and after my
maid had brought my hot water, just as
I was ;about to get up, a most beautiful
young lady, very fair and dressed in gray
silk, drew aside the curtain of my bed
and leaned over me and said: "Do not
be unhappy about your son; no harm shall
happen 1 to him.". I am quite certain I
have bad a vision, yet it seemed as if I
were'elwake; certainly I was so the mo-
ment '-before this happened. The whole
thing s as distinct as possible and as
unlike an effect of imagination. Of course,
I canacit account for it, bat it has made
me quite happy, and I know you will
come back safe.' On receipt of this letter
I bethought me of the ring, and begged
my mother in reply to describe minutely
the appearance of themysterious visitor.
My metther said it was a young woman
about 27 years of age, rather pale, with
very straight features, large gray epee.
and an abundance of brown hair worn in
rather an old fashioned manner.' The
sleeveS of the gray 'silk dress were- what
we call 'bishop sleeves.' I sent copies of
my mpther'sletter to Palgravo Simpson,
and he answered me that the description
was i the minutest particular the coun-
terparf t: of the lady who on her deathbed
had g'ren him the ring, some 16 or 17
years before. It is to be observed that
no co nucleation whatever passed be-
tween me and my Hother betweee the re-
eeipt f the ring an i my arrival at Malta,
and I will swear . at I told no one the
story: .

COUNTERFEIT BILLS.
An Easy Method by Which They May
Be Detected. -
"Talking of counterfeiters puts me in
mind of one, a notorious rascal, who was
caught not long ago in this city while 'at
his nefarious trade," said the ex -treasury
official. "The paper money this man pro-
duced was absolutely perfect in every de-
tail but one thing, and it seems strange
that a man of his knowledge and experi-
ence of the art of counterfeiting should
not have known it."
Here the treasury official took a $1 bill
from his pocket. It was new and crisp,
and he pointed out a diminutive letter 0
on the right under the bill's number and
another down in the other corner.
"Now," he continued, "I don't suppose
there are ten men in a hundred outside
the treasury department who know that
these seemingly unnecessary letters are
on United States bills. And even if- they
had noticed them I am willing to bet that
not one of them could tell what they
signify."
Handing another bill to the reporter,
the ex -treasury man asked him to read
the last four figures. They were 5,321.
The treasury man said almost instantly,
"The letter on that bill is A," which was
correct.
Halt a dozen other bills were produced,
and when the treasury man was told the
last four figures of their numbers he was
able to tell, with lightning rapidity, what
letter would be found on each bill. In
each case the letter was either A, B, (7
or D.
"The explanation is simple," said he.
"If you take the last four .figures of the
number on any bill, no matter what Its
denomination, and divide them by four,
you will have a remainder of 0, 1, 2 or 3.
If the remainder is zero, the letter on the
bill will be D. If it is 1, the letter will
be A; if it is 2, the letter will be B, and

"This is one of the many precautions
taken by the government against coun-
terfeiters. You can tell instantly whether
a bill is bad or good by making that test.
I wouldn't give a 5 cent piece for a $1,000
bill, no matter how perfect it seemed, if
its little letters did not correspond with
the remainder obtained by dividing the
last four figures of its number by_4."
WRITERS AND PAINTERS.
MIss Beatrice Harraden sold the copy-
right of "Ships That Pass In the Night"
g P g
for $100, having no idea. that the book
would be successful.
Edwin Abbey was painting in. London
for ten years before he had a picture
bung In the academy, and began his work
as a newspaper illustrator,
Sarah Grand was 14 years old before
she went to school. She made up for
lost time afterward in most things, but
never learned the art of penmanship.
Mark Twain, replying to an inquiring
citizen of Chicago, wrote that the origi-
nal of the Doctor in "The Innocents
Abroad" was Dr. A. Reeves Jackson, one
of Chicago's most prominent citizens,
who died in 1892.
Ibsen's start as a dramatist was made
early in life when he began, in his teens,
the study of medicine. He then chanced
to read "Salhest" and was so taken with
the character of Cs/thine that he wrote
a play introducing him. .
Longfellow was ono of the poets of the
last century to whom the making of
speeches was a terror. In a letter in the
Arnold collection he says of the first
speech he ever made: "It shall be the last.
It was only an inch long, but while im-
pending it cast a shadow over my life
for three days."
A "Saint Sebastian" by Titian and a
portrait of the Archduchess Eleanore of
Austria, queen of Hungary, by Velas-
quez have been discovered in Gorizia, be-
tween Venice and 'Priest. Professor
Cantalamessa, director of the Venice art
museums, is sure that the 'Titian is genu-
ine and declares it a masterpiece.
Natural Curiosity.
There are bad bargains that we remem-
ber, sometimes with regret and often a
little bitter amusement. Says Mrs. E. D.
Gillespie in her "Book of Remembrance:"
My father had taken some laud in Illi-
nois for a bad debt, and this he had never
visited. After he had paid taxes on it
for several years he was asked to sell the
tract. He agreed to do it and named the
price, which was the sum he had paid for
It without the taxes.
The deeds were scarcely signed when
my father found that a city, Peoria, was
growing up on the spot. He was nat-
urally disappointed at what seemed the
ill luck of the occurrence, but several
years after his annoyance was tinged
with amusement. A man came to his
office and asked: ;
"Are you W. J. Duane?"
"Yes."
"Did you own the site of the city of
Peoria?"
"Did you sell It for $600?"
"Yes."
The man rose from his chair.
"Good by," said he. "I only thought
I'd like to look at you."
A Choice of Three Things.
Australian judges make jokes that
would hardly pass muster in Great Brit-
ain, says an English paper. One of them
recently going the circuit arrived at a ,
char
town where a clean e sheet was g
presented for his acceptance, accompa-
nied, of course, with the inevitable pair
of white gloves. Having accepted the
gift, he returned ,thanks in these terms:
"This proves that either the district
possesses an unusually high standard of
morality or that there is nothing in it
worth stealing or that the police are not
active enough to catch criminals."
Leaving his hearers in doubt as to
which of the three alternatives he per-
sonally favored, the judge smiled sweet-
ly at the local head of the police force
and retired from the bench.
Animals and Pain.
A correspondent furnishes some curious
instances df the apparent lack of highly
developed powers of feeling pain in ani-
mals. Ile has, he says, seen a sparrow,
shot flying, fall to the ground and in less
than two Minutes begin picking up grains
that happened to be lying near it. On
another occasion 0 tame rnbbit was de-
prived by a spaniel of its `tail, bone and
all. It took not the slightest notice of
its lass and began- feeding again directly
it returned to its hutch.

A COMPLETE SUCCESS,
Where properly used last Spring, smut in oats has almost entirely disap-
peared. I have been advised bya well-known miller to push the sale of it for
treating fall wheat in a similar way, as it is being injured more and more each
year. In fact, he said, he had to reject a load this season entirely, as owing to
smut it was totally unfit for flour.
FARMERS ! you know what "Beaver Brand Formaldehyde" has done
for cats. I can't say that it will do as well for wheat, but it is worth trying.
I know that it will not injure the growth, the cost and trouble is trifling, and I
see no reason why it should not be equally effective.
You will also find it, when well diluted, excellent for sprinkling around
hen houses to destroy lice, spiders, and other insects, .

Dear Sirs,-S9me time age my daughter,

She was tired

Her system got
badly run down,
so hearing your

Pills highly spoken of I procured a box,
and by the time she had used them she
had gained 91j lbs. in weight and is now in
perfect health.
Yours truly,
MRs. P. -H. CURTIS.
