Canon Farrar s explanation is not strikingly dissimilar to that of or. Macdonnell for he says the object of my Sermon was to prove that the word eternal did not necessarily denote endlessness and at the same time to vindicate that Faith in the possible Efie uts of Christ s infinite redemption even beyond the grave which seems to be most expressly stated in the text from which i preached 1 Peter in.

A Washington correspondent announces that a Bill for a new Pacific railway is to be introduced so soon As Congress re assembles. The Eastern terminus is to a at Memphis thereby forming connections with present Railroad facilities to All Points of the North West and South West. The proposed railway will pass Lake City to Jefferson Texas thence by the International and great nor Thern railway to san in a North Westerly direction to Elpaso Del Norte to connect with any Road or roads to the Paci fic Ocean now or hereafter to be built thus affording communication with the various military posts on those lines and the Valley of the Rio Grande. Widely held in different Ages both by very eminent fathers and theologians and by some of the holiest of the saints of god. Iri Scotland the new Light is meeting Vith great acceptation while if we take another glance at its influence on this Side of the Atlantic we find that in the United the congregational Community is attaining a wonderful Power. The Case which has gained most prominence is that of the Rev. Or. Mom am who was recently called to take pastor Al charge of a congregational Church in Massachusetts. This minister holds that the doctrine of Universal punishment is neither affirmed nor denied by the scrip Tures and he expressed his willingness to leave its acceptance where the Bible leaves the individual conscience and judg ment.

Arrived per express characteristic Energy that of eternal damnation. In the course of a Sermon he delivered about three weeks ago he dealt with this subject in Tho following unambiguous sentences the doctrine that god has been for thousands of years peopling this Earth with human beings during a period three fourths of which was not illuminated by an altar or a Church and in places where a vast popu lation of those people Are yet without that Light is to transform the almighty into a monster More hideous than satan himself and i swear by All that is sacred that i will he Shou clap Trott Mil Vise which we have fled and so destroy one of Tho chief attractions of our a orb Star btato.1 punishment. The doctrine of damnation to perpetual punishment Jav the heritage of All who re fuse to accept salvation through the merits of Jesus Christ has been always esteemed a fundamental principle of the Christian Reli Gion in All its Many diversified branches. Disbelief in the doctrine is entirely of modern growth and Tho significant Exten Sion of heterodoxy in this regard at Jie pre sort time has brought Tho topic under Dis evasion by Tho daily press in a manner that nothing but a Novelty of great importance would justify. While dealing exclusively with facts there Ore and on our own part carefully abstaining from giving any expression of opinion on a subject which is not an appropriate one for newspaper Dis Cussion. Proceed to give a Brief sketch of the Progress of a movement which is deeply stirring Tho minds of religious people in England Scotland the United states and Canada. First in Canada May be said to have been fired by the Rev. Or. Macdon Nell of Toronto who a year ago publicly ass used a position in Legard to the doctrine of eternal punishment that brought him under the censure of Lus Church Couri and for a time threatened to bring about Adivi bion among Tho faithful of a very serious character. The matter an excited controversy finally dropped into abeyance by a kind of Compromise not by any Means of a dignified or satisfactory kind but which served to Tido Over the difficulty for the time being. Tho Kev. Henry Ward Keechor b Independent views on this same subject Aro Well known but the sensational attitudes so frequently struck by this celebrated preacher would have prevented his utterances with to Gail to eternal punish ment from being received with great weight at the present time it it were not for the Universal interest now Felt in what is regarded generally As it burning in England Tho Nial Tei has been brought in Oval nil ill Vav a Viii a u. They say the saints in heaven Are so Happy that they do not mind Tho torments of the damned in hell but what sort of saints must they be who could be Happy while looking Down upon the horrors of the bottomless it would be futile to expect that a universality of views upon this doctrine should prevail where such a wide diversity of opinion exists upon far More trivial sub. Jets. What will be the effect in a social sense of the spread of a disbelief in the eternal punishment of the wicked it is not altogether satisfactory to contemplate for the Dogma has undoubtedly exercised a powerful deterrent influence upon human nature which we must All admit is naturally prone to evil. It is useless however to think in the present Day of crushing Down Independence of thought or of suppressing the yearnings of the people for More Light. Let us rather rejoice that in these modern times the terrors of the holy inquisition do not menace those who venture to dissent rom orthodox forms of belief and that we in a country where the fullest Liberty of conscience and of opinion is enjoyed Asci foe wheat.
