On Wtxinewlay, liefoN thoniwiod
petrjile, Mr. 8h'-li, M-lf-,io
ami with eloi(iifiit tlietiou, pro-
nounml IiIh oraiion on the subject of
"DKWIUN IN II1HTOIIY." :
All physii-al nature, when I'liHt'ly
olwerved, revwU procysj it IU form,
ation and met lux I iu 1U oieratioft.
The gra-w grow in acitrdane with
law; the planets move in obeiliencf
to it; the whole physical universe, at
far as we know, acknowledge) iU
unliinitotl swtty. In fact, the prog
rt of science U little niore than the
tlwcovcry of law. There U nothing
haphazard, nothing fortuitous In ex
ternal nature, but all things mtui to
obey the behest and to work out tl
deaigns of their great luw-tcivt-r and
ruler.
As we turn fr.mi tht contempla,
tiou of the iimiiiiiiale to the hlghef
study of animate and rational nature)
we are naturally Impelled to seek for
similar traces of diviue wntrolj
When we come to humanity, how
ever, we nndtiew font-s oS'ratiug tj
olscure the workings and obliterate
the traces of U id's lienign hand,
Man is self-active, rational, design-'
ing,aud his actions arc noi ciinlrolloo
by unchanging external laws. He In
perfectly free to follow the dictates of
bis own reason or di.iir's. Natur
ally, then, we Hi id no such uninter
rupted harmony iu Ii Jinan affairs a
we do lu the surrnu.nling universe.
We read the details of history and
they seem to us nothing but the rec
ord of continual strife, contention
and discord. We read of kiug fight
ing with king, nation with nation,
principle with principle. We see
men elevated to the highest honors
In the gift of nations ouly to be cast
down into the lowest depths of deg
redation and disgrace. We st the
masses now shouting "down. with
royalty I" and now crowning a new
king with enthusiastic burt of ap
plause and servile asMiraui-es of their
loyalty and support. We sthc
fruits of patieut Industry and toil
ruthlessly sacrificed to greed and
ambition. We see the sacred liber
ties of the people trampled into the
earth uuiler the irou heel of tyrauny,
aud the whole scene appears to us
one vast, turbulent, seething ocean
of contention whose tides always re
cede as far as they advanoe. This
however, is only a very superficial
and Imperfect view of history. It is
such a cramped aud limited view as
a man on the side of Mount Hood
might obtain of tbat magnificent
peak. One so situated, though
blinded by its glistening snows and
stifled by the rarity of Its atmos
phere, would have a chance to behold
nature in all Its wildness and rugged
strength. He would be awed by its
colossal spikes aud bosses and en
raptured by the beauty and grandeur
of its extensive glaciers, but he could
form but a poor Idea of the mountain
as a complete and harmonious whole.
But let the observer descend into the
valley and view the peak on a clear
day from tbe far away plains below,
and how different is the spectacle
which meets his admiring gaze. The
rugged rocks, the deep ravines be
come softened into harmony by tlie
charm - which distance lends. All
that resembled dis-ord or aceid.-iit
are eliminated from the scene, aud
there it stands in its iileut majesty,
reflecting tbe row -ale hue of the
evening sunlight, with its outlines
plainly projected againxt the clear
blue of the sky beyond, the Joy of
the w hole surrotiudicg region.
8o it is with history. If we can
somehow manage to obtain a broad,
comprehensive view of the whole
field, a view, as it were, from a dis
tance, so that the disgusting details
of war and contention and eelfi-h
struggles cannot obscure our vision
and cloud our judgmeut, we will
find it exhibiting something of the
symmetry and beauty of thetliviue
handiwork.
Nations have arisen, flourished for
a time, and fallen, and, humanity In
Its .short-sightedness has cried out,
"all is lost 1 " Rut wait for a genera
tion, a century or an age, and we find
that all that humanity has mourned
as momentous disaster has been
but the falling of dead branches from
the tree of progress. O recce has
fallen, but in the light of subsequent
developments, what has her fall
meant? Mimply that her pcnple
were relieved from the disirw-thHis
of internal dissension and given op
portunity to develop that literature
which has contrihntcd of Us richness,
grace and vigor, of its purity aud
refined dignity, to all wbsequent
productions, and w hieh still exists lu
all its original grandeur, a wonderful
monument of the power of the Greek
mi ml. Idtter on, proud Rome be
came the spoil of the barbarous
tribes aroujid her, but not till she
had advanced civilizatloa aa far as
her pagan principles would allow.
The fatal defect In Roman civ
ilization was its lack of re
gard for humanity in Itself con
sidered. Man was valuable only as
far as he could serve the slate, aud
When he lost that utility be was
worthy of no farther consideration
Rut tlie time had come in God's
providence when a new light was to
break upou the world. One had
arisen who taught the ancients some
thing of the truw worth and value of
man. aud since his time political
development has been but the un
folding In human society of the great
principle which , he Inculcated.
Win n men came to realize that man
s i.i.t a were utility, that he Is valu-
tble for the Immortal nature that Is
in liiui as well aa for the service he
an render, then naturally a power
ful force was Introduced Into Euro
pean civilization, a force which,
combined with the Oerniunic love of
personal liberty, was destiued to
-xert un Influence, the ultimate re
sults of which no science can calcu
late, no imagination picture.
Hut to an observer living during
the daik ages, what a dreadful ca
lamity the fall of Rome must have
ecmed. There lay the historic city
with its ancient civilization, the
growth of centuries, mouldering Into
dust, and all Europe seemed to have
reluacd Into Us original barbarism.
But what a great mistake! All that
warf valuable in Roman civilization
slill survived and passed Into the
possession of a people capable of a
broader anil more diversified devel
opment than was possible to the
Roman. True, Europe did relapse
mto slumber, but such a slumber as
the caterpillar sleeps when he be
comes metamorphosed from a crawl
ing worm to a beautiful butterfly.
Europo slept,, but during her sleep,
(Irceiau culture, Roman law, Teu
toulc love of liberty aud Christianity
were acting together to produce a
civilization which already . has far
supassed anything that tlie aucient
world produced, aud which is yet
ouly In Us Infancy.
When Europe awoke from her
lethargy she awoke to a career of
advaucemeut aud physical activity
adch as the world had uever before
i. Men's mluds begau to reach
out after 'truth iu all directions, lu-
hk.'ntjious - were multiplied rapidly.
Voyages of discovery were ..made,
and on every baud evidences of men
tal and material progress were to be
seen. More than this, she awoke to
Uhe development of that principle of
liberty which lias elevated her to her
present advanced political position,
aud which, transported to the favor
able soil of the new continent, has
progressed with such rapid strides.
We have seen, then, that civiliza-
zation, in spite of all Us vicissitudes,
has been continually growing, that
tbe tide of human life, in spite of
every apparent retrogression, has
been steadily rising, aud In view of
the progress of the past, are we not
justified In supposing that God,
through his subtle aud mysterious
Influence upon the human heart, Is
working out a broad and comprehen
sive denign for the benefit of his
creatures? Our convictions ef the
exlslei.ee of such a divine plan are
very much strengthened when we
notice that out of apparent calamity
and disaster In the past, the choicest
flowers of our civilization have been
grown. Seemingly, what a terrible
udsfortune befell the English people
when King John came to the throne.
Rut John did more for England than
the best king she has ever had, for
he forced her people to leap over
their superstitious barriers aud to
assert their inalienable rights. Asa
result of his oppression, England
gained that great charter which has
proved such a powerful safeguard
against tyranny iu all after genera
tions aud which has formed the solid
rock upon which the great pillar of
English liberty has been built How
terrible, in later days, were the re
ligious persecutions which drove the
Puritans from their pleasant homes
and surroundings, yet, in the hand
of Uod, what rich results these same
persecutions have been made to
yield. The refugees found their way
to the shores of the new continent
and founded a nation in which we
believe the whole world will finally
be blest "
But the evidences of this all-embracing
divine plan were never more
clearly visible than at the present
time. We see forces at work all
around us which seem destined not
only to carry out civilization to a full
and ripe fruition, but to extend its
beneficent influence to all the ends of
the earth. Transportation Is becom
ing more convenient and rapid every
day. Communication between dif
ferent parts of tbe earth is already
Instantaneous so that distant nations
are brought into close eontm-t with
each other. The ports of the whole
world are now open to the mission
ary of the cross, and a rich harvest
is awaiting him. Nation which
have long been benighted by heathen
darkness are beginning to awake,
and are trying to catch step with
civilised nation in their onward
march. In bet, every Indication
seems to point to a time when all
men, of whatever tribe or nation,
shall come out into the light and joy
of a perfected christian civilization-
When tbe applause with which
Mr. Shiuch's oration was received
had died away aud the audience had
been rcfctts.1 by a musical selection,
Miss McKercher took her place on
the platform, and charmed her bear
ers by reading her theme,
i'! KI TH IX JaYTItilLOUY."
You have read the story of yie Greek
god, Hermes, leading away the cattle
of Apollo. How angry Ahi11o was!
And how Ilermens, the leant bit
frightened It may tie, played bewitch
ingfy on his lyre, so charming A poll-
that he was allowed to keep (he
prize. You have read of the horrid
Python, slain by the sun god in the
deep, rts-ky valley of I'urnassus; ol

These myths we all have read, and
many others, for literature Is full of
them without them would be bar
ren. Whence did they arise? What
Is their meaning, and what of truth
do they hold? These a-e questions
which have occupied the tliffflfclit and
research of men for many years. The
theories In regard to them arc va
rious, but no explanation claims to
remove from them all mystery.
Some In I heir essence seem to be po
etical renderings ol real men and real
events. Especially the tales of the
demigods and heroes, Ulysses, Her
cuies and others, require some such
explanation. More are the out
growth of the -deifying of natural
powers. To trace the first class Is a
task for the historian. The other,
not so difficult a one, may lie profits
ble and full of pleasure to us all; for
the thoughts and aspirations of meu
of past years have a wondrous inter-
est to us now. As au English writer
has said, "the stars and hills and
storms are with us now, as they were
with others of old; and it only needs
that we look at them with the earn
estness of those childish eyes to
understand the first words spoken ol
them by the children of men. And
then, iu all the most beautiful and
enduring myths, we shall find not
only a literal story of a real person
not only a parallel Imagery of moral
principle hut an underlying worship
of natural phenomena, out of w hieh
both have sprung, and in which both
forever remain rooted." For the
ancient conception of a deity had al
ways these three distinct elements.
First, tho physical; the real sun,
wind, star or river. Everything In
nature was wholly wonderful and in
explicable. To their Imagination
there was a living spirit animating
and controlling each. Aud this per
sonal being was a friend, a compan
ion to man, walking with him all
through life and sieaking face to
face, iuspiriug him with fortitude
and patience. And in the third
place, there was the moral element.
This conception was not confined to
any one people. We find a wonder
ful coincidence iu the mythological
systems of India, Egypt, Greece ami
Northern Europe. To us, S'rhaps,
tbe myths of Greece are most full of
interest. Among this people myth
ology was most perfectly developed.
And for the reason that they posses
sed certain essential characteristics to
an eminent degree a passionate love
of nature, a vivid Imagination, and
a love for God so intense as to re
move from their minds the awe and
reverence due to a supreme being.
This teudeucy resulted in lowering
their Idea of God to the nature of a
mere deini-god, so that in the latter
days of Greece the siuct-re, childlike
worship had almost disappeared.
What was once sufficient no longer
satisfied, for faith was not possible In
what was so debased. Nor even in
those morning years was there a like
faith to all men. The man of com
mon mind believed in the literal
wording of the myth. It was no
more to him than the surface mean
ing. His was a believing sincerely,
but not deeply. To the great soul,
however, capable of enetrating to
the Inner spiritual truth there, was
revealed the true thought clothed In
the mystery of language. To him,
Demeter crying in sorrow for the lost
Persephone meant all tbat the poet
means now, when he sings of earth
saddened by summer's departure and
of a life lost to youth and beauty.
Poseidon, Hera were more to him
than names and their myths bore a
significance beyond that of a fawiful
story.
The three-fold conception of divin
ity will harmonize many apparent
contradictions. Thus it Is of Apollo.
He la physically the sun, contending
with darkness, directing the music of
tho heavenly bodies and leading tbe
dmiiv of tl.e stars. In bis personal
iiv-arnstion be was always young
cau the suu grow old and bright,
sud very beautiful. He watched
over men with that piercing eye of
which tbe bawk was symbol, atd
gave to them the precious gifts of
setry and song. His arrow, even
as the ray of the suu darting from1
the golden quiver, wounded some
tii.i.s, but also healed. Slaying
!."n"y Pythons, diseases of soul and
t .el;-, this god of the sun arose iu the
hearts of meu with healing lu his
wings, instilling withiu their souls,
serenity, virtue, all lovelluesss of
character. Well might thoseGreeks,
grand in their simplicity, honor this
god who was opposed to all darkness,
and shed life aud light among all
is-oplc.
Nor was Atheua less beloved. She
was a giver of life also, for she was
the air--the air, calm In its depths of
blue, or fierce in Us rush of tempest.
And they honored her. Who but
Aiheua dot lied the world with Us
beauty of field and forest? Who but
she curried the white-wlngcU ship
from port to port? To her tbey
owed the arts of weaving ami of ship
building. Aud she gave them cour
age in war, for she was a warrior
goddess, too, stern andcalm, a tower
of strength to those who besought
her. The unwearied fire, ever burn
ing over the helmets and shields was
a sign to her favorite heroes of her
presence. For this was another
power of the Queen of the Air, to
nourish light, not the light of the
sun, which was Apollo; nor the light
of consuming fire, which was Ileph
UMtus, but the soft household light of
the burning uil in bruneu lumps.
Rut not alone was she the life of
the flower of tlie Held or of the leaf of
t lit) foreat, nor merely the physical
life of mail and beast; the was in a
higher sense the life of the soul. Tlie
spiritual breath slia was, even as the
wind which bloweth where it llsteth,
and men hear the sound thereof.
With her flowing robe aud wouder
lul .Egis, clothed with gold and
white of cloud, purple of storm, aud
with the deep blue of the sky iu her
mild, bright eye, she made man
strong aud beautiful and courageous,
as she breathed upou him w ith her
divine breuth.
And so, if time permitted, we
might seek to discover in myth after
myth tlie truth as it was revealed to
this people. One thought would
.-land out clearly before us; though
i here were many deities, yet there
was oue supreme. T.i hlnr were the
hearts of uu'ii who eveu sat in great
darkuess luled up. When Homer
sings "God's will is over all; be
makes the strong man to fear, and
gives tho victory to the weak If it
shall please him" Ihe simplicity and
childlike trust of such utterances as
Uh-so seem lo bu the outpourings of a
heuit inspired. Aud surely it was a
shadow of truth. For with Ruskln
wo cannot believe the "Great Father
would use the imagination of the
Jew as au instrument by which to
exalt aud lead him, but the imagina
tion of the Greek only to degrade
und mislead him." We cannot sup
pose that real angels were sent lo
minister to tlie Jews and to punish
them; but no angels, or only misA
ing spectra of augels to lead the
Greek from desolate cradle to hope.
less grave.
Their light may have beeu very
dim, but they were nobly trustful iu
that light. With their spirits lu
subjection to the will of great Zeus,
softly touched by the healing breath
of Athena, and warmed by Apollo's
rays, these men of Greece could sing
with their poet in calm serenity "of
the f.ir away Elyslan fields, where
dwell Rliadamanlhus with the gold-
eu hair, where life is ever tweet, aud
sorrow Is not, nor winter, nor ny
rain or storm, and the never-dying
zephyrs blow soft aud cool from off
the ocean."

Science, too, baa its romances.
The discovery of a new element In
the atmosphere about us hardly
ceased to amaze the scientific world
w heu a new event, as dramatic In its
surprise as the last chapter of a novel
could be, draws attention once more
to the achievements of chemistry.
It will be remembered that Lord
Raylelgh and Professor Ramsay
found tbat there la present In the at
mosphere a substance, a gaa, the ex
isteuce of which bad never been sus
pected. It goes Into our lungs with
every breath w draw. It is neither
oxygeu nor nitrogen, the two ele
ments of which heretofore the air baa
been supposed to consist. Its discov
erers called It "argon," a word In
vented from the Greek, which Is
Intended to signify tbat the new gas
Is Indisposed to unite with other
substances.
Now Professor Ramsay, expert
mentlug with a rare mineral, called
cleveite, not only found tbat it con
tained argon In chemical union with
the rare metal uranium, but he dis
covered something else of the highest
scientific Interest.
The spectroscope baa revealed to
astronomers the existence of hydro
gen, of Iron, aud of other terrestrial
elements, In the composition of tbe
sun. It has shown them something
In the sun which had never been
found on tbe earth. To tbat uufound
element they gave tbe name of he
lium, from the Greek word hello,
the sun.
Professor Ramsay saw, to his In
tense surprise, and to the delight of
all who are interested in science, that
the spectrum of argon taken from
cleveite showed, besides the lines of
argon, tbe one line which distin
guished helium, and which had pre
viously been seen In tbe spectrum of
nothing In heaven or on the earth,
except tbe atmosphere surrounding
the sun.
Helium baa not yet been separated
out from the argon with which It
was mixed, so as to be atudled by It
self, as we can atudy the chemical
properties of platinum or hydrogen;
but now that the mineral containing
the shy element la In the sure grasp
of Ihe chemists, It will not be long
before we shall know all about It.
