The statement which your correspond- . ent thus condemns as an error is that wherein I say that the discovery of the persistence and eorrelation of the forces tends to elevate the character of human thought, and lift the current of scien- tific eiiquiry f rein the low depths of ma- terialism, and that it affords certain proof . o f the divine origin of the uni- v er se , From the very :candid and courteous i tone Which youe correspondent has ad- opted, I do not think that he intended his remarks as a mere verbal _Criticism on my lecture, ti, ough he has allowed himself to run in o that form of discus- sion in one or tw of his paragraphs, I shall, therefore, talee it up as I think it was intended, namely, as a kindly chal- lenge to discuss the broad guestiort on its own merits, leaving aside all purely verbal issues. . • The case between us, then, is shortly this : Your cormspondent considers that I have comniittecl an unfortunate error in tains intreducing the subject; of the correlation. of the forces to my audience. Re maintains that this dis- covery does not 4fford sure and certain proof of the Divine origin of the universe, and he closes by cliaranterizing my treat- ment Of the subject as "singular." Now, sir, I am willing, if you like to open your eolumne to puch a discussion, eo join issue -upon thee three points. The list and third are really of very little consequence in the main arguement, so 1 will gettrid of then as shortly as possible. 1 donot consider th.5 I erred in endeavor- ing to attrace the ttention of my audi- cuce be a purely se entilic subject, by as- suriag thspn that they had nothing to dread in the way of attack upon religious faith, but that, on he contrary, the more fully this discover was followed up, the moi e l clear the p oof of a Divine or ,super natural Crei tor *odd appear. Your correspondei t cannot forget the fate of our efforts o establish scientific discussions herehtst winter. They were defeated by prejudice excited on this very point, by paries who believed, or pretelided to belie e, that such subjects could not be.discue ed without injury to religion. Believing as I do that the pur- suit of truth -in nature, thiough the paths of science, muSt and does afford to the earnest worker a sure and certain proof of the Divine origin of the universe, I considered it advisable and necessary to state that belief at the outset. So much .for elle first point. ! Nowle as to my tireatment of the sub- ject being singular, I presume -your curressfondent means that my deduction of a Dit-ine or Supernatural oriein for the forces IS singularassure you, site it is n o t se at all, on the ontrary I haveno pre- tence either to origi iality or singularity in this Lecture or in anythieg that I have ever wztibten' or said on the subject. It is nothing but an e position of the dis- . wearies and deduct ons of the men -whose works I quoted ; a d on this particular point I have abund, nt authority to sus tam iny views. M . Herbert spencer, the lat t and one of the most eloquent of T the En lish philossphical writers of the present day, as cm ed by Youmans p 39, has had the hot or ef crowning this . sublinio inquiry, by hewing that the law of the 'r Persistence f Force " as it isthe underlying principle of all being, is also that th s pripeiple, �f -'which the human the fun lamental tru h of all Philosophy; mind his just become fully conscious, is itself the profounde It law of the human mind, he deepest foundation • of con- sciousn ss. • Ile le s demonstr ted that the law of the Pertistence of 1' rce, of which the most piercing intel ects ofpast times had but partial and u satisfyingglimpses, aud which the late t scientific research hai. diseovered. as ,. great :principle of nature, has a yet more transcendant charact r : is in fact an a priori truth of the highest order • a truth which is necessa ily involved in our mental or- ganization, which i • broader than any possible induction, a id of higher validity than any other trutl whatever. Dr. Youmans go s on then to say: "Thus the law char cterized by Faraday as the highest in ph sical science which our faculties permit s to percieve, has a far 'nor extended 'ay; it might well have be nproclaiele the the highest la,w of all se euce, the mo t far-reaching inid- ciple th t t adventuri a reason has dis- covered in the unive se. Its stupendous reach sp ns all Older .of existence. Not only does it govern the movements of the healtenly bodies, but it presides over the genesis of the constellations ; not only does it control those radiant floods of powe which fill the eternal spaces, lathing,J warming llumining and vivi- fying ou planet,' but it rules the actions and relations of Tile , and regulates the march of terrestrial affairs. Nor is its d. onsiniofi limited to physical phenomena; preva s equally in the world of mind, so severely with a raw- it Inalleetneennennemenemenemil controlling all the faCalties and process of thought and feeling. The star su of the remote galaxies dart their ra ations across the universe; and, althou the distances are so profound that Int es - us di- gh ne dreds of centtnies may have been requi ecl to traversethenn. the impulses of for enter the eye, and impressing an atom change upofl the nerve, give origin to the sense of sight. Star and nerve -tis- sue are parts of the sense system—stellar and nervous forces are co -relative. Nay more; tiensation awakens thought and kindles emotion, so that this wenclrous Ilynamie chain binds into living unity therealms of matter and mind through mea,surelessamplitu.des of space andtime. And if these high realities are but faint and fitful glimpses which science -has ob- tained in the dim dawn of discovery, what must be the glories of the coming day? If, indeed, they are but "pebbles" gather- ed from the shores of the great ocean of truth, what are the mysteries still hidden in the bosom -of the mighty unexplored? And how far transcending all stretch of thought that unknown and infinite Cause of all to which the human spirit tnins evermore in solemn and niysterious worship !" These quotations are suffici- eat, I think, to prove that I am not singular in my manner of introducing the subject of the persistence and correlation of the forces, and I think I May say, they go a great way to prove the elevating character of this study. . To demenstrate the proposition, that the -discovery �f the cor relation, and persistence of force, fur- nishes•proof of a Divine or supernatural First -Cause of all things, would be entire- ly beyond. the scope of a newspaper ar- ticle The multitude of experiments and the various investigations of natural phe- nomena'which have led to this discovery, would have to be recited and explained, a mere catalogue of them would- occupy cyour whole paper. I must therefore con- tent myself with shortly stating the ar- gument * the way it presents itself ttt my mind', after carefut study of all that I have been able to procure in the writ- ings of the able men who are devoting their lives to this inquiry. It seems, then, to 1) e demonstrated -to me, that forne does exiet in the universe apart from matter ; that it acts through matter in producing all the affections of matter by which we imove, live, think and have our being. That our investigations enable us to comprehend many of the phenome- na which force in action -presents to. our senses, and that we have eetablishec1 a mutual relation or identity between the various forms of energy which we see in action throughout inorganic nature, and the phenomena of life, including mental or emotional activity. That all these va- rious 'forms Of energy are mutually con- vertible She. one into- the -other and all resolvable into the one idea of force per- sistent .and all-pervading. It this force exist, and I believe the evidence of its existence is mathematically positive, then it must be either derivative or self -creat- ing -I if the former, then it demonstrates the existence of a still greater andincom- prehensible cause or force which called or willed'it into existence; if the latter. then force itself is the great first cause manifesting itself to us by portions of its mighty power in action throughout the univeese ; and I believe that the pro- found and untiring investigation of na- tural phenomena which is the form as- sumeq by inodern scientific investigation, is the true road to a cloaer view of that First Case than has ever yet been reached bY man. And that the more we beemne acquainted with the laws which -are in operation around, aboutw„and in us, the more closely we will be able to order and regulate oar lives in harmony with the Divine idee. I believe that it is the destiny of the human mind to comprehend the vast order of existence in the nudist of which it is placed ; anti. that this discovery is the key note to a volume of celestial harmonies which will ere long charm and enchant those minds to whom its full fruition shall be given.

Will you have the kindness to give space to the following corrections of aii article which appeared in a late issue of the London Free Press, headed "Base Ball Records" The undermentioned Cs a list of the games played by the Stars, of Seaforth, in 1871. • This Club was or- ganized in the Spring of 1871, and credit cannot be attached to any particular person for the able leadership and super- intendence, of the Club for their success, on the contrary, to the members of the Club, well *.iderstanding how to assist each other, with benefit to. the Club; to- gether wit1i the liberal donations and assistance df the iuhabitants of Seaforth, can be attrilmted the success of the Stars" of Sea.forth. And, as the London Free Press will F have it, Mr. Josh Hill (al- though aeu excellent player) had the leadership and. superintendence of the Stars, and their success, to a certain ex- tent, is attributable to him, when, on the contrary, such was not the case. Mr. Hill doe not consider such credit due to him, net having held the posi- • tion, and. being only a member of . the Club, and the same having been organ- ized; and some of its best matches played before Mr. Hill became a member at all. The Stars of Seaforth is the youngest Club in the Province, and. have won for themselves more laurels within a shorter time from their organization than any other -base ball club in the Province, de- feating the Tecurasehs (now the Athlet- ics) of London, on their own ground, in a, game which the scores and runs show - to have been. one of the best played in the Provitgie. •And, Since the •match, the Tecumsehs changed their name to that of Athletics, and, .having won several matches, are now unwilling to admit that they were defeated by the Stars. But, upon looking at the playing mem- bers of the Athletics, if is quite evident they are composed of the very same players as • composed the Tecurnsehs, who were defeated by the Stars. Hence it is apparent the reason why the change of name was made, and. w y a return PRESIDEN'T THE:I:52 TARS. More on the Threshing Matter, To the:Editor of the Retr-on Axpositor. DEAR, SIR.—Having read in the col- umns of your paper' considerable in the way of boasting over fast threshing, I hope you will allow* me the privilege to say a few words on the matter. I, for one, cannot see the utility of rushing through the grain at an undue speed for the spaCe of a few minutes or even la few hours, at the expense of Wasting the gra* for the farmer on whose material * the trial is made As any rational thinker must know that gra* camiot be threshed so well and cleanly at the rate of say goo bushels of wheat or 320 bush- els of oats per hour, with a machine only calculated to perform half the work in the same time. During the last season with a machine manufactured by: Glas- gow, McPherson & Co., of Clinton, an managed by Mr. P. Munn and ingself, I threshed during the .short run- whieh we made at the inininum calenfation 50,000 bushels of grain, giving, 1 feel as sured, general satisfaction., Our work was &Me through the townships of Tucker -smith, Stephen, Usborne and, Hay. We found, on the whole, that the gram Was above the average quality.; The, best fall wheat which I threshed Was on the farm of Mr. Alex, Stewart, Usborne ; Spring Wheat, Mn W. Jackals ; Oats Mr. James Bill, and barley, Mr, Rich- ard. Manning, .of Stephen. Alehmigh boast no great feats ot sacrificing perfect workmanship to speed, yet I feel assur- ed; that next season when 1 again*tend to offer the fanning commeanty my ser- vices in this line that they will appreci- ate the manlier in which my auty was peeformed last season, which as you 'must concede, Mr. Editor is a sure sign hf a " clear record" and a " perfect register" which will assure a return of past favors..
