COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER; SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1877. THE OLD AND THE NEW. SCIENCE AGAINST THEOLOGY—LECTURE OF PROFESSOR FELIX ADLER. Standard Hall, corner of Broadway and Forty-second street, was crowded to its utmost capacity yesterday morning to hear Professor Adler’s discourse upon “The Old and the New.” He said that the charge against modern liberalism is that it has dared to proclaim its senti ments. There is lukewarmness in all the churches, but no one objects to that; there is a falling off in tli^pttendance of members among the Christian creeds, but nobody murmurs; rank unbelief is abroad among them all, yet everything is glossed over. A wild and (rightful fable which exists in many lands says that the recent dead cannot find rest in their graves, and as the weird spectress of spirit land pass by young and old are affrighted to behold them in their hideous cerements of the tomb. And thus it is with past superstitions, they are dead and buried, but they cannot rest in the grave where the might of reason and the bands of science have laid them. They stalk about the fearful ghosts of their former selves; bo that even the elightened portion of the community, knowing them to be what they are, shudder end tremble at behold ing them, but denounce them not. And yet this policy of temporizing with ex ploded traditions ia unworthy of the modern liberal. It is the part of honesty to confess facts as they aie, and of pru dence to penetrate their consequences. TESTING THE BIBLE. We are conscious of entering upon a new era and feel a fresh faith within us. We liberals have proposed in these days new theories for men’s consideration, and these progressive ideas are fully sus tained by the light of science and as seen through three principal media. These are: First, the science of historical criti cism; second, the study of nature, and third, the development ef oommerce and of art. Historical criticism took up the Bible and tried it by the ciucible test of the purest scholarship of the day and not in a spirit lacking reverence to so venera ble a tradition. It was placed by the side of Homer, the Rig Veda, and the Persian account of Oimuzd, where it ought to belong; and th’s resu’t of criti cal investigation is eveiy day more gene rally accepted by those whose testimony is worth having. The old Hebrew naira- tive of Abraham is merely a legend; the Pentateuch, upon which so much reliance has been placed, is unconnected and in- cosistent in its parts, while those great doctrines of the Ten Commandments are found to be extent in tk-ee separate ver sions. But although a mique value still attaches to seme of its books, this does not warrant us in attributing the Bible to supernatural agencies. Many of its well known passages are spurious; pud so, too, are much of the records connected with the life of Jesus. To restore these shat tered documents is now impossible. Even the Seimon on the Mount is found scat tered in various places throughout the Hebrew legends. It is plain that the find ing out of weak places in revealed reli gion could not long remain a secret with the learned. The works of Ernest Re nan and some other able writers are now read everywhere, and are preparing the way for a new rationalistic religion. ORTHODOXY AND HETERODOXY. There was little love lost at any time between science and theology; the for mer was always content to peacefully pur sue the even tenor of its way, but the lat ter wor ! d never suffer this. The conflict between them was inevitable. The ciade conceptions of the creation, proper to an age that lived many centuries before ge ology or biology were known, as recited in the Bible, became the ground upon which the battles of tiuth were fought. But there are those who believe tbat eve ry word in the Bible is the word of God; hence we had the persecutions of Galileo and Copernicus, the burning of Bruno and others, who were the martyrs to great thoughts. In religion the priest stpnds between the people and their God. It is bis priv ileged duty to br ; ng the wants of man to the notioe of the Creator; the agencies of prayer, ceremonies and pious works are brought into requisition. If the crops fail or an epidemic visits the land the priest is called to pray that these calami ties may pass away, just as if his prayer would have any weight in moving the de cree of an omnipotent God. If the sin ner's conscience is weighed down by its load of iniquities the priest steps in to as sure the transgressor of forgiveness—a thing which is contre y to all the pre cepts of morality. Now, it is widely known and generally believed that we are punished by nature for transgressions of her immutable laws, but ss this whole some doctriSe spoils the power of the priests liberals who entortam them are made odious. Indeed, teachers of the people will always be necessaiy; but the priests who cau biiug us salvation and happiness when the laws of morality 8nd justice condem us to a fate the reverse of this—priests of this class will soon be no ionger necessary. It is not wonderful, then, that such works of transcendent genius as Newton’s “Principia,” the as tonishing deductions of Laplace, and many other imperishable monuments of human progress should be loudly con demned by the theologians. The Dar winian theory, also another tiiumph of thought, has come in for a goodly share of vituperation and denunciation. It at tempts to explain the progressive 6teps by which man has arrived at his present condition. It does not lower man’s dig nity in the least; for whether the first man wts madoo of dust or descended from an ape, he was hr man and distin guished from all else that went before him. And it is our duty now to display as little of the wolf, hyena and tiger in our natures as the intelligence enjoyed by us will make it possible. Here the lecturer claimed for Darwinism that its principles are at least as clear and suscep tible of proof as those of theism. He claimed that, like all natural sciences, it is at war with theolgy. It is a recognized fact that the broadest and brighest tal ents of the age are on the side of science. The great trouble of the day is that the hearts and the brains of the people are at war with each other, and the only way to bring about a reconciliation is by means of education.—A. Y. Uerald. William L. Marcy’s favorite poem was Gray’s “Elegy.” The book containing it lay open upon his breast when be was found lying dead on a sofa in his library. A WOMAN’S QUESTION. Do you know you bave asked for the costliest thing Ever made by the Hand above— A woman’s heart and a woman’s life, And a woman’s wonde.ful love ? Do yon know you have asked for this priceless thing As a child might n«k for a toy ? Demanding, what others have died to win, “With tli5 reckless/.!aBh of a boy. You have written my lesson of duty out, Man-like yon have questioned me— Now stand at the bar of my woman’s soul, Until I shall question thee. You require your mutton shall always be hot, Your seeks and your shirts shall te whole, I require yctir heart to br tru« as God’s stars, And pure as heaven yoar soul. Yon require a cook for your mutton and beef; I require a far better thing; A seamstress you’re wanting for stockings and shirts— I look for a man and a king. A king for a beautiful realm called home. And a man that the maker, God, Shall look npon as he did the first, And say, ’ it is very good.” I am fair and yrung, but the rose will fade From my eoft, young cheek one day— Will you 1 vs m-, then, ’mid the falling leaves, As you did ’mid the bloom of May ? Is your heart au ocean so strong and deep I may launch my all on its tide? A loving woman finds heaven or hell On the day she is made a bride. I require all thinga that are grand and t.ue, All things that a man should be; If you give this all, I would stake my life To be all yon demand of me. If you cannot do this—a laundress and ccok You can hire, with little to pay ; But a woman’s heart and a woman’s life Are not to be won tbat way. Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Reply to “A Woman’s Question.” You say I bave asket for the costliest thing Ever made by the Hand above— A woman’s heart and a woman’s life, And a woman’s wonderful love. That I have written your duty out. And, man-like, have questioned free, You demand that I stand >-t the bar of your sou 1 , While you in turn question me. And when I ask you to be my wife, The head of my house and home, Whose path I would scatter with sue shine through life, Thy shield when sorrow shall come— You reply wi h disdain and a curl of the lip, And point to my coat’s missing button, And haughtily ask if I waDt a conk, To servj up my beef and my mutton. ’Ti8 a king that you look fur. Well, I am not h', But only a plain, taruest man, Whose feet ol’teu shun the hard path they should tread, Often shrink from the gulf they should span. ’Tie hard to believe that the rose will fade From the cheek so mil, so fair; ’Twere harder ro think that a heart prond and col 1 Were ever reflected there. True the rose will fade, and the leaves will fall, And the A utumn of file will cjme; But tie ln-art that I give thee will he true as in May, Should I make it thy shelter, thy home. Thou requir’st ‘ali things that are good and true; All tlmjgs that a man -hould be Ah ! lady, my truth doubt not, doubt not, For the rest, 1 leave it to thee. Pllii :m. ANSWERS TO ENIOMAS.

The following singular story comes from Monroe, Wis., and is vouched for ?s strictly true by prominent residents of that place: Nellie Blackford is thirteen years old and never lies been a robust child. Some two months ago or more she supposed her m >ther to be dying, and ran nearly two miles for neighbors to be present. She retu'ned exhausted, wss taken down to the bed with illness,suffer ing greatly for many weeks afterward. A physician gave all possible attention, but she continued to grow worse. The doc tor finally declared that no human power could save her pud that she must die. Nellie, too, expressed a desire not to live, saying that she wished to go to God pud the angels ere her derr afflicted mother left her a helpless oiphan. On Monday afternoon, the IGLh inst., the friends and neighbors assembled to see her pass away. About three o’clock her extremities be came veiy cold, and they thought her gently and happfly passing “over the river.” All at once a change prssed over her featr-es, a sweet srrffe ill ruinated her countensnce, end ’he most intense delight seemed portrayed nd lingered on her face t’ 1 ! it fairly shone. Words fad to express the happiness, conten’ment and gloiy there depicted. A continual change seemed pa e s ; ng over her quiet face, all tell’ng of something bright and beautiful passing before her enraptured eyes. All at once, to the astonishment of all, she raised her little hands in the attitude of hstening intently, changing her position continually and seeming to listen with a'l the power of her being. She continued in tbrs state for very near ly three hou^a, seemingly perfectly un-, conscious of a'l surrounding objects and sounds. She seemed to gently rouse from this condition. She opened her eyes, and,seeing her mother standing near, a sweet and heavenly smile passed over her face. Her mother stooped and asked her if she heard sweet music, Nellie had spoken before of hepring music when in her sinking spells. Arid now comes the strange and mirac ulous story of this little daughter of affliction as related by herself : “I seemed as though I were walking through a pleasant country till I came to a place that surely was heaven. There were streets all paved with gold, and such beautiful fountains es clear as crystral that seemed to rise up and then fall in bright sparkling drops. I laid down on a soft, grassy bpnk to rest, nepr a fountain, where my grandpa, who has been dead six years, c-oie to mo and said 1 should go back to take care of my little sister till sh° was lar^e enough to take care of herself. My little brother, whom I had never seen, came to me and told me he was my brother, and he played such sweet music for me on a golden harp. A crown of gold encircled his head. He wes all dressed in gleaming white, and so was grandpa. And he did not look so old as when here, and his eyes were perfect, not blind of the one he used to be. His voice sounded so familiar. “Then, ob! I can hardly tell, I saw Je sus all robed in white, a dazzling crown upon his head. He sat on such a beauti ful high seat that was on a raised plat form. All seemed of gold, and there were beautiful trees, flowers, streams and fountains of clear water around the throne and everywhere. Angels were flying around, bright crow’ns upon their heads, and golden harps in their hands, and they played the sweetest music that I ever heard, I felt so 6orry at first when grandpa told me I should go back, and take the place of my dear mother, and she should come. When I first seemed to get to this beautiful place the sweet word Welcome! Welcome! echoed all around. I saw so many things that words fail to tell them now. The angels said they would cure me, that I should take no medicine, and I know I shall get well.” Nellie Blackford, it is said, has greatly improved since her trance vision, and seems in a fair way to get entirely welL BOOTS AND SHOES.
