Tbe tendency, of modern thought, both
among a widely extended class of so
called religious teachers fypd amid tbe
busy crowds of men whose perceptions
of the unseen and eternal are being con
stantly blunted by their absorption in
things material and transient, is un
doubtedly drifting away from a belief in
the miraculous. The old argument of
Hume, that it is easier to believe that
the earlier witnesses were deceived than
to believe the marvels of New Testament
story, holds sway over millions of minds
who are conscious of its power, though
they may be uu willing to adopt and
avow it in so many words. If miracles
happened then, why not now? How do
we know that those first witnesses were
not deceived?. Would that we had been
there to test the presence of the super
natural for ourselves ! Such is the atti
tude of many who would hardly care to
be classed 'as anti-cbrietian or infidel.
And yet, if words have any meaning, if
written records are to be construed with
any relation to grammar or conventional
neatce. nothing ever can be clearer than
that the Christianity "from which the
miraculous is eliminated is not the
Christianity of the New Testament nor
of Christ. If the miracles are the pro
duct of a credulous and non-critical age,
or the fruit of hysterical fancy .distorting
natural phenomena ; if the crowning mir
acle is a lie, and Jesus of Nazareth sjill
sleeps beneath the stars of a Syrian sky,
then the religion of the bible, like every
other, fails to answer the universal long
ing of the human heart for some author
itative and God-given pronouncement on
'the great facts of human existence, with
.-all their attendant contradictions and
perplexities. The miracle of all mira
'des is Christ himself. In the story of
His life the miraculous and the natural
are so intimately ' blended, who shall
draw the line and tell where fact ends
-and .fiction begins? - He spake as never
man spake. It is no truer that he lived
than .it is that he claimed prerogatives
such as no mere mortal ever had a right
to claim. If these claims were true his
life, his death, his resurrection, were
one divinely and morally consistent
-whole. If false, his life, despite the mor
al grandeur of his teaching, was at best
-a living lie and himself an impostor. He
was either a miracle of divinity or a mir
acle of imposition, and there is no mid
dle ground.
Last week The Chronicle called at
"tent ion to certain charges that reflected
seriously on the integrity of Hon. F. A
Moore, republican candidate for Supreme
Judge, which, if true, render him un
worthy of the support of the electors of
.- this Btate. The charges are made on no
less authority than the record of the
court, and the sworn testimony of Mr,
Moore himself. A will was drawn np by
Mr. Moore, as a lawyer, the woman mak
ing it Deing at we time unconscious, and
at the moment of signing it In the very
article of death. The will was drawn at
the dictation of the woman's husband.
and for the purpose' of disinheriting
three daughters ont of a valuable piece
-of property in East Portland. After
wards Moore took a fee of $1,000 from
the daughters for breaking the will
'Moore has remained silent under the
-charges, but yesterday a firm of Portland
lawyers, who were attorneys in the case,
lTflmd Allil 1T1 IHa )fvrui.t on1 nnnn S mm
vyv....... uu cvV IV HQ
their Opinion tkat "there is nothing in
- tne whole transaction which reflects on
the integrity of Judge Moore, either as a
man or an attorney.'.' . Now this is en
tirely a matter of opinion. Messrs. Kil
len, Starr & Thomas are entitled to think
as they please, bat unless there is one
code of morals for a lawyer, and another
for . the common herd, they will neve:
convince a man who possesses a scintilla
of sound moral sense that it is right for a
lawyer to take a fee lor, practically gorg
ing a will, and then, knowing that the
will was of no account, accepting a thou
sand dollar fee from another to break it
To a oerson who is not a lawmr f ha op
tion of Judge Moore lookB like a dammv
bly low piece of business, and something
is needed t to. justify it, other than the
mere perfunctory opinion of a law firm,
that judge Moore is all right. ' , . -
