Select fPisdlanjr. SCIENCE AND RELIGION. BY BEY. W. G. E. CCNNYNGHAM, D.D. If the controversies between the leading scientists and theologians of the present day were conducted in an unknown tongue, or confined strictly to the disputants, it would be a matter of less concern to us. We might then wisely let them alone, and patiently wait the issue. But attempts are made to popularize •the controversy, and bring it into the daily reading of the people. Bold assertions, partial and false statements, mingled with blind and bitter denunciations, are scattered through our current literature like the incoherent cries and clamors of battle. Public attention is thus called 'to the subject, and unscrupulous men take advantage of the general ignorance on questions of science, to assail Christian ity ; and violent religionists, in turn, assault science. Thus science and re ligion are arrayed against each other, as if the one being true, the other must be false ; whereas true science and true religion can never be at variance. If the facts of revelation be true, no fact in science can contradict them. The difference in the contending parties lies in the imperfection of their knowledge, and not in any neces sary antagonism between science and religion. The point of perfect recon ciliation will be found in that higher philosophy, which is broad enough to comprehend both. When natural science shall have reached a higher plane of development, and ignorance no longer disguises it, then will it ap pear, as it really is, the glorified hand maid of religion. The two will then be seen laboring in loving harmony for the good of the race—the one bearing the torch of knowledge through the temple of Nature, revealing the glory of God in the works of his hands ; the other leading the pilgrims of hope through the shadows of time to the re alities of eternity. The exclusive appropriation of the word Science to the knowledge which man has acquired of the facts and phe nomena of physical nature, we think exceedingly unfortunate, as it is un philosophic. “Science” literally means knowledge, or what we know. In a more distinctive sense, it usually de notes a systematic, or orderly, arrange ment of knowledge on any given sub ject.” (Worcester.) Thus the sci' ence of geology is what we know about the structure and mineral constitution of the earth ; the science of astronomy treats of the heavenly bodies —their magnitudes, distances, etc. And so of all the sciences. They simply embrace what is known by man concerning the subjects of which they treat. It is as correct, therefore, to say “science of re ligion” as “science of astronomy,” meaning by the phrase what man knows concerning the subject of reli gion. The conflict is not, therefore, be tween science on the one hand, and ig norant belief on the other, as some falsely assert, but between the specula tions and theories of men, professing to be teachers in the several depart ments of human knowledge. Science embraces religion, as Max Muller as serts, as much as it does natural phil osophy or chemistry. It is in the sci ence of religion that all other sciences find their complement, in which all others culminate. It reveals the cause and end of all things, while other sci ences deal with the forms and methods of things only. Beligion (revelation) informs us that “God created the Hea vens and the earth,” but does not say how He did it. The methods with which physical science deals are left unexplained. The dogmatism of the ologians as to these, deserves no more respect than the dogmatism of physi cists as to the First. Cause. If theolo gians will inform themselves as to the facts and teachings of physical science, and the scientists study the Bible, then will both parties be wiser, and their differences disappear in the light of a higher intelligence. Christianity can bear the tests of scientific investigation without losing a ray of its glory ; and it must submit to scientific treatment, if it claim a place among the subjects of profound er thought. It does not propose to hold its place as a science by mere as sumption. It has never claimed ex emption from the severest forms of trial. It has always been “ready to give a reason” for the hopes it in spires. The learned world will, by and by, come to the comprehension of what St. Paul declares of Christ, “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Scientists may yet learn what the Great Teacher meant wheh He said, “I am the truth.” Let the students of natural science seek the aid of that Spirit which “moved upon the face” of chaos, and evolved order and beauty out of its turbulence and dark ness ; and let the students of the Bible trust God to manage His own affairs, in all matters not revealed. He knows how He made the worlds, and could have told us, but has not done so. Let scientists find out, if they can. Mean while, let us not try to separate what “God hath joined together.” Let us not. attempt to be “wise above what is written.” THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST. THE PHILOSOPHY OF REFORM, It is most interesting and instruc tive, we repeat, to observe how all the patent methods that have been adopt ed outside of, or in opposition to, Christianity, for the reformation of society, have, one after another, gone to the wall, or gone to the dogs. A dream, and a few futile or disastrous experiments, jure all that ever comes of them. Societies, communities, organi zations, melt away and are all that remains of them is their histo ry. Yet the men who originated them, fancied that they were radicals, while they never touched the roots either of human nature or human society. The most intelligent of those who abjure Christianity have seen all this, and have been wise enough not to under take to put anything in its place. They content themselves with their negations, and leave the race to flound er along as it will. We suppose it is a matter of wonder to such men as these that Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey can obtain such a fol lowing a3 they do. They undoubtedly attribute it to superstition and ignor ance, but these reformers are simply eminent radicals after the Christian pattern, who deal with the motives and means furnished them by the one great radical reformer of the world—Jesus Christ himself. They are at work at the basis of things. To them, politics are nothing, denominations are noth ing, organizations are nothing, or en tirely subordinate. Individual reform is everything. After this, organiza tions will take care of themselves. No gcod society can possibly be made out of bad materials, and when the mate rials are made good, the society takes a good form naturally, as a pure salt makes its perfect crystal without su perintendence. They are proving, day by day, what all Christian reformers have been proving for eighteen centur ies, viz: that Christian reform, as it relates to individual life and character, possesses the only sound philosophical basis that can be found among reforms. Christian reform, with all its motives and methods, is found to be just as vital to day as it ever was. It is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. There are a great many dogmas of the church whose truth, or whose impor tance, even if true, it would be difficult to prove; but the great truths, that humanity is degraded, and can only be elevated and purified by the elevation and purification of its individual con stituents, are evident to the simplest mind. Men know that they are bad, and ought to be better; and a motive or a series of motives to reformation, addressed directly to this conscious ness, is not long in achieving results’ The radicalism of Christianity bolds the secret of revivals, of the stability of the church, of the growth and im provement of Christian communities. All things that are true are divine. There can be no one thing that is more divinely true than any other thing that is true. Christianity is divine, if for no other reason than that it holls and monopolizes the only radical and phil osophical basis of reform. The criti cisms of all those who ignore these facts are necessarily shallow and un worthy of consideration—just as shal low and just as worthless as the dog matism inside the church which attributes the power of Christianity to t’ ose things which are not sources of power at all. Christianity must live and triumph as a system of reform, be cause it goes to tho roots of things, and, because, by so doing, it proves itself to be divinely and eternally true. —Scribner’s Monthly.
