A crisis is iho decisive state of things, or tho point of time when an aff iii is arrived at its htight and mtist soon terminate or suffer a materia! change. In this age of progress scieu titic discoveries ?ud inventions, scionce seems to be running a very close race with religion, in fact we might say that science has with a great many supplanted the Bible with reference to the creation or rather tormation of i the earth. Oar ckil Iren are sum* be tog taught iu the geographiis used in a'l of the school: oftc-iay that tho earth was not made in the manner taught in the Bible; but on the contrary was tho result of natural causes, a red hot ball launched into space, | by whos> rapid revolutions underwent I a cooling process t' us firming a crust < vl rock, which rock iu t h s thousands i of }ears weathered and hocorno soil, i and by this ooling p-ocess like a i roasted apple with its crumpled sur- 1 face are the elevations aud depression?, hills, mountains and valleys. ? fiomo writer in contradiction of the l Bible itory of how Mcb63 and the children of Israel cro8??d the 11 jd soa, says that it waa no miracle, but that * the waters of the Had eta at that par- ! ticular place, 'ike the ebb and fl >w o!

Fhore art. doubt!e?s mtuy other min I istera of bia faith and of different I faith, who teliovo as he does. N at- ! urally Dr. Harper's views are curreut in the institution of which he is the president, his opportunity tbr diaserni Dating his views all tho greater aud < the consequences all the more disattrona. ; Dr. Parkhurst and Dr. TI tyr ? of the u.tuistcrj of the Presbyterian church, by their radical departure from the doctriuo of that church are guilty of hcrc3j. The doctrine which they have s ably advocited in the past years ol their pastorate, they now hold up to public gaze as absurd and rediculous. All thie, to our mind, is but the result of too groat and an unwarranted reaca cb, culture, "which is a poor substitute for Christ." The doubts expressed by theiie .eminent divines . ii.tf iu n.ku ... ? i nuii lite uiuic is iiic iui^|micu n ji u ut G id is an evidence of culture, such as dostroys tl:o simple faith of the Chrisliau believer. Of all the Protestant denominations the Baptist and - Presbyterians have beea the mo3t strict ia rr quiring an absolute ad. hereuco to the belief in the Il.blc as s the inspired word <f God, and yet ) these expounders of IPs word dure say , at this late day, that tin re is a doubt - ab )ut the Bible being inspired. ^ Shamo on such men who woul 1 fain r hide behind their culture, their elo quer.ca. These views are but the inI initiative to the propagating of a new doctrine which must be apace with - (hie age of intellectual activity. Tho activitv dianlaved bv the # * ^ ^ ,f - V 0 c ergy in pronouncing the liible an J uninspired work and accounting for e the miracUa related in the liible upon - scicutific priooiplcs and theoti ?s ii but a ihe forerunner ol the downhill of the ? Christian religion.

America, The United States will in y the next century be soiling their mis iomuies to us to try to lea' us hick t> that frith an 1 knowledge n from which wc are i\rw so very rcadity d retrograding. Tho Methodist so fir is the only one of tho Protestant do , nominations th-t has made no such e radical departures.
