the CHRISTIAN INDEX. MACOFr eAM . 18, 1863. far tlie Christian Index. Letters from toy Study. gg ‘ No. 7. W I have recently read a remarkable took— a book which has given me a sort of electric ‘flock apd caused me to seize my neglected pen. wfcte book which has thus stirred my sluggishness and put “My Study” ia qpriit commotio®, is entitled “History of Civiliza tion in England’’ by Henry Thomas Buckle. The large volume before n*e, of nearly 700 pages, is only a general introduction to the main work contemplated by the author —a work truly gigantic in its proportions, if w® are to judge from the preliminary perform ance. But alas for human hopes and, plans ! Recent advices from England informs us that Mr. Buckle has been summoned into the eternal world, there to test his audacious speculations concerning religion’. A second volume, I believe, has been published, and here probably this enterprise of great.ge nius must rest—a magnificent fragment, an unfinished tower of intellectual pride. From a brief sketch of Mr. Buckle’s Itfe new before me, I learn that he was bom in 1822—that he was the son of a wealthy merchant—that he enjoyed the advantages of an excellent education, and that, in pos session of an ample fortune, he passed his days in retirement amidst his books and de voted to literary pursuits. His at such a moment and under such circumstances, furnishes a frqsh and affecting illustratien of the old lesson that “every man walketh in a vain show.” On many accounts this work is worthy of serious attention. It contains a vast amount of valuable information, presented in a style eminently lucid, vigorous and attractive. — Mr. Buckle seems to have been a man of tru ly Enclopaedic knowledge. He was master of those languages, ancient aud modem, which are enriched with the treasures of human thought. He was intimately acquainted with nearly all branches of Science in their latest conclusions and de velopments, with all systems of philosophy, with all historical compositions, and with whatever has been written in every depart ment of literature. His mind, emphatically philosophical in its tone and temper, was al ways in quest of the causes of events, and never rested -short of wide generalisations which contain the statement of great prin ciples; He was a bold, original and indepen dent thinker, with very little reverence for antiquity or authority. Indeed his boldness is often irritating, and his independence bor ders on scornful and offensive dogmatism.- On most subjects, however, his views seem to me just and generous, and they t once . enlist on their side my convictions and sym pathies. He is a strong believer in human progress, and an uncompromising and wrath ful foe of all venerable shams, of all titled and hoary absurdities, of all tyranny and in justice on the part of rulers, and of all fool ish and fanatical attempts at reform on the part of the people. I can scarcely name a volume in which there is compressed so mueh suggestive thought, so much useful informa tion, so much searching criticism, so much solid and encouraging reasoning with regard to the prospects of the race, as may be foqnd in this Introduction. . This approbation and admiration which candor obliges me to express, make me la ment all the more keenly the feet that this volume labors under one great and fetid evil’—it is violently, and even vindictively, Infidel, from title page to finis. Mr. Buckle had no respect at all. for the inspiration and divine authority of the Christian Scriptures. He is, indeed, not careful to epneeal his ab solute contempt for their claims in this par ticular. With all its merits, this is, there fore, a most dangerous book, and the more dangerous precisely because its merits arc so unquestionable and so great. I learn with sorrow that in some intelligent communities in Georgia this volume has beoome a sort of religious text-book, and the Gospel accord ing to Henry Buckle has supplant ed the Gospel according to the Evangelists. In order to answer this work iu any frill and proper sense, it would be necessary that one should be, in some degree, the equal iff Mr. Buckle in scholarly attainments and general ability. He should be capable of surveying the vast field which our author traverses, with a gaze as sweeping and keen as his own. No sneers and frowns and ex clamations of pious horror will satisfy the. reader whose scepticism has been fortified by the reasonings of this work- Such (heap, and easy weapons will be of no service here. That the work can be answered, fairly, squarely and triumphantly, I entertain no doubt; but I am afraid that few men in our Zion are qualified for the arduous task. To the possession of those resources which would enable me to’ perform this service, it would be quite superfluous that I should dis avow all qMfens and pretensions; but though confessedly incompetent to expose and refute this masterly writer’s errors, I think I can see where they are, and what are some of his fundamental mistakes and false princi ples. At least I honestly that, while this book startled me, and 0* some points gave me trouble, I have eloged it with an nnshakeu conviction of the divine origin and authority of the Christian Scriptures The great leading ideas of this Introduc tion, and the Mena which were intended, I suppose, to govern and characterize Mr. Buckle’s entire view of modern cizilization, are two—the one, that the development of society proceeds in accordance with certain fixed laws which bind all events to their an teeedents-—the other, that increase of knowl edge a Ae grand instrument of promoting human progress. Probably the last-named may be regarded as the seminal principle of the work. In presenting the? first of these ideas, Mr. Buekle discusses the old question at freedom and necessity, mid while rejecting both the leading theories on this subject, he still ra ther inclines to the necessitarian Bide—thus furnishing another example of the curious alliance which has so generally existed be tween the Infidel and Calvinistie writers in their views of the Will. In pressing this pemkmir author is obviously trying to get rid of all supernatural interference in human affairs—a result, by the way, precisely the opposite of that contemplated by Cahinistic theologians. The doctrine of Divine Prov idence Is always implicitly, and often expli citly, repudiated and scouted on these pages, and all events are tied to their antecedents under the control of purely natural iawS.— Prayer for rain in time of drought he styles ‘•the impious contrivance of calling in the aid of the Deity to supply those deficiences in science which are the result of our own sloth.” In this sentence we have the ani mus of the whole work, so for a* God’s con nection with terrestrial affairs is concerned; and in this sentence we doubtless have indi cated the popular and prevailing infidelity which infests and threatens our age. The progress'6f the physical sciences, resulting in the discovery of law where once mystery reigned and the diyine hand was supposed to he busy, has served greatly to encourage and extend this form of unbelief. “God is gradually pushed back, step by step, until rite, exultant sceptic is ready to declare that jfe is excluded altogether from His works. ’Let believers be patient, and let the enemies of the Bible beware lest they raise the shout of victory too soon. God will not consent to’ become an exile from His creation, A deep er and wiser science, I am persuaded, will recognize God in these much vaunted laws of nature, sad a true and mere spiritual phil osophy will inevitably triumph over the cold and degrading Sensationalism which extols the reign of matter. That profound think er, Isaac Taylor, makes a very fruitful de liverance on this subject of God’s connexion with his works, when he says, “The miracle Os Pimkleucc is, that its requires no mini cle to accomplish his purposes.” Mr. Buc kle's learning and ingenuity arc vainly em ployed in unsettling the Christian doetrine and riie deep instinctive conviction of the human soul, that God is intimately and con stantly associated with the affairs of our race. No one, probably, will deny his postulate, that all events are determined by their ante cedents, but the gloomy and blighting con clusions which he seeks to infer from this postulate will ever be vigorouslyud success fully resisted. The great majority of men cannot tolerate the conception of a Father less world and a God-forsaken race. consideration of this work. KAPH. , For the Christian Index. ’ To Baptist Associations. We would respectfully suggest that there is a work which you can do for our country, and which, ap assemblies of Christian people, it is your duty to do. You believe that the God of heaven rules among the natipns and that it is his hand that sets one up and casts another down. You believe that he-punish es nations for national sins, for acts of re bellion against his laws legalized, required and enforced by national authority. You would expect God’s curse to rest on otir na tion if our Government should pass a law re quiring its officers in army departments to worship idols, to profane God’s name or curse their parents. Why? Because it would re quire them to do what God, in the Ist and 2d and 3d and sth commandment, has said they shall not do. But what more right has the government to require the violation *of the fourth commandment than of another T We know, however, very well, that it does it both iu the post office and the war depart *n one > ky demanding the same mail service upon the Sabbath as upon other days; i* the other by inspection of arms ul dress parade.

[ A celebrated preacher of the seventeenth century, in a sermon to a crowded audienc t K described the terrors of the last judgmei it with such eloquence, pathos, and force < i action, that some of his audienc&_4jqfc on p burst into tears, but sent fort* - £ cries, 83 if the Judge himself had been pres ent, mid was about to puss- upon them their final sentence. Itt the bright of this com motion, the preacher called upon them to dry theiT tears and cease their cries, as he was about to add something still more awful and astonishing than any thing he had yet brought before them. Sileuee being obtain ed, he, with an ,agitated countenance and solemn voice addressed them thus: “In one quarter of an hour from this time, the emo tions wbieh you have just now exhibited will be stiffed; the remembrance ofthc fear ful truths which excited them will vanish ; you will return to your carnal occupations, or sinful pleasures, with your usual avidity, and you will treat all that you have heard, ‘as a tale that is told !’ ” Papal Inspiration. A Roman Catholic priest, iu France, once ventured to ask a Protestant, “Upon what do you build your belief, since you have no authority for your faith ?” The reply was, “Upon the Bible; if’ the apostles had left behind them any infallible successors, it would have been unnecessary to bequeath to us so many instructions in writing.” “The apostles! and why are you to place greater reliance on the apostles than on their successors T “Became the apostles were inspired by the Holy Ghost.” “Well! and we too are* inspired.” “Arfe you inspired f “Yes! I repeat —we too are inspired.” “Then why do you require to be further instructed in the College of the Jesuits ?” The priest was confounded. Facetiae.

From the Religious Herald. “The Baptist Ministers of Bal *•’ tiiaare.” The ‘item’ under the above caption, in the last issue of the Herald, contains three mis takes, which justice requires should he cor rected. The Rev. George F. Adams did take the Oath of allegiance to the United States as the condition of his release from imprisonment on,the Rip Raps, hut the cir cumstances under which it was done were such as to exonerate him from blame in the estimation es meet of his friends. He was arrested as a spy and harshly treated—hut that did not induce him to take the oath . It was because bis wife was alone and unpro tected in the midst of thousands of demoral ized negroes, mad hundreds of thousands of lawless soldiers, and bteause, after repeated .attempts, she was unable to find refuge in some place of safety. The form of the oath, too, which he took differed but little from the old oath to support the constitution, and contained nothing which could be offensive to any one willing to remain a citizen of the United States. Moreover, I know that bro. Adams would regard himself as absolved from the obligations of that oath were he to remove to one of the Confederate States, or werarito State of Maryland to secede. ’ The second inaccuracy respects the Rev. Franklin Wilson. Brother Wilson opposed the war in the beginning; and, indeed, the very ablest article I have ever read against the war, was from his pen. He would hail with delight such , a reconstruction of the Union as would give to eaeli State equal rights under the constitution; but that he regards now as beyond hope, and he is now, and has ever been, in favor es stopping the war by the recognition of the Confederate States. As regards Dr* Fuller, it is not jnst to say that he is “distrusted” by the friends of the South* The position of the Dr. ie a try ing one. lie is devotedly attached to his church, the most prominent members of which are Union in their sentiments, and in order to preserve peace among his people, he has on one or two public occasions seemed to trim a little. Those, however, who know his sentiments know him to be true to the South. He is certainly regarded with sus picion by the authorities, and has been threatened with arrest at least once. Be sides, he has been quite active in visiting and relieving the wants of the Confederate sick and wounded. That he associated un der the auspfces of the Christian Commis sion of Baltimore does not implicate his loyalty to the South, lor many of the staunch est Southern men and women of the city did the same. The case was this. The city was under martial law, and no one could go to Gettysburg to minister to the wounded who would not take the oath, or go as a member or the Ch riman Commission. In os*K>r to reach our suffering soldiers hundreds of la dies and gentlemen connected themselves with the Commission. Ido not blame them for this, though I did not feel at liberty to follow their example, for I had long since resolved not to affiliate in any way with the enemies of my country. I do not believe that Dr. Fuller has ever taken the oath, aud he himself told me that on one occasion, when questioned by Secretary Chase as to the Sa vannah resolutions, he confessed himself the author of them, and avowed the sentiments therein contained as those he still enter tained. This was within the past six months. Os the eight Baptist preacher* now living in Baltimore, six are Southern sympathisers; the two exceptions are northern men. Os the people generally, I am fully satisfied that were a free expression of sympathy and opin ion allowed, two-thirds of the men and eight tenths of the women would link their desti ny with tlfe South. Yours fraternally, Tiios. 11. Pritchard. Editorial Note.— The foregoing article comes to us from Chari ittsville, and is dated August 2'Jth. Elder Pritchard has been sent beyond the* Federal lines. He was sen tenced to Fort Delaware “for the war,” and the guard had.already been detailed to es cort him to his cell in that place; but the entreaties of his wife induced a successful application on the part ofa prominent Union man, that the sentence might be changed to banishment to the South. With “no plans for the future at present,” it is scarcely ne cessary to suggest to the brethren that this is au opportunity to secure, either at home, or in that asher-home, the army, “a workman who needeth not to be ashamed.” ? iff *t “Daddy, I want to ask you a question : Why is neighbor Smith’s liqor shop like a counterfoil dollar ?
