(Abstraet of a lecture given ia the First Cou- STssMmMuanren, ttssiaixi, Sunday evening, Matthew XII, S3 "The Tree is Known by Its Fruit." By Christianity is meant in these lectures that system of faith-end truth which includes, L. The acceptance of Jesus Christ himself as the Divine Ssviouj and teacher of men. "As the- "Life of ne World" and the "Light of ths World." 2. The acceptance of the doctrines he taught.

These doctrines, as commonly agreed upon among all bodies of Christians, may be summarized into five: 1. That there is ons God, who Is the ruler and father of men. 2. That the soul is immortal: and des tined to a state of rewards and punish ments which are to be equitably adminis tered, according: to the life here. 3.

That true religion consists in love to God and man: All creeds end ceremonies beiofr bet instruments for cultivating that spirit of leva. 4. The doctrine of the forgiveness of human sn and renewal of moral character. a. bat all uus tne xorziveness.

re newal and development of the spirit of lovs is achieved through Jesus Christ; who lived, taught and died to bring it about. By Infidelity, is to be understood not mere religious ignorance, nor mere non-ac- a. 2 1 i 11 gent, purpoeed rejection of it, accompanied by more or lees of opposition, with aim to overthrow and supplant it. Be tween these two, there is a clear, sharp issue. The comparison made, a week ago.

be tween these two systems, Christianity and Infidelity, ae factors in human progress. was confined to the general field of civili zation. We took our stand upon an elevation overlooking the broad map of ths world. And, as one discerns from Mt Lincoln, or the Grey Peaks in Colorado. the course of the rivers whicb break forth from ths recesses of the Rocky Mountains and stretch out across the tawny plains, by the verdure which everywhere lines their banks, so ws were enabled to trace the path of Christianity, down through history and ACKOSS THK MAT OF THK W0BLD To-day, by the higher civilization which has everywhere accompanied and been de veloped by it.

Where ever human life stands beet, wherever morals are most ad vanced and society most "enlightened and pure, there, without exception, we found Christian faith and-Christian truth to be must prevalent and most vital. While, upon the other hand, it was declared im possible to point to any substantial monument to civlization or progress which In fidelity, as such, baa erected. Abundant fruit upon the one hand, notwithstanding all the errors, shortcomings, excesses and imperfections of Christianity, as held by he adherents; upon the other nothing. le-night we are to take a more de tailed view. We descend from ths mountain, and take our course alone some of those rivers which we have discerned from the higfat, and make a closer examination into their verdurous growths, aod the fruits which may chance to have grown upon them.

Time will allow us to follow but three, and these in but a most cursory way. We will consider the fruit of Christianity in the field of Home, of Education and Philanthropy. It would be equally interesting and instructive, did time permit, to trace its inmsence in Art. Science and Reform. We mast eon tent ourselves for to-night with the three first-named.

The influence of Christianity upon the home, and, aa most vital to that, upon ths position of woman aa the molding spirit and ruling genius of horns. First. Look at her position in the mostr enlightened nations anterior to the Chris tain Era, It was everywhere a debased position. She was man's servant; not his canal; bla property, hie drudge, his beast of burden. The penal code of the Assyrians had for its law of divorce, "If a husband say unto his wife, Thou art not my wife, be shall pay half a mine (about five dollars) and be free; But, if a woman repudiate her husband she shall be drowned In the river." Homer dignifies the early Greek woman; but at the period when Greek art and literature were their greatest height, the typical woman, was Aepasia, ths courtesan, whom Socrates invited "to talk oa the question, 'How she might ply ber occupation with most The highest thought for woman of that leading philsopher and moralist reached no higher.

THE BO MAN MATRON In the purest days of the Republic, althooS honored in poetry, was practically regarded ae a piece of property, destitute, of legal rights, and absolutely under control of ths pater families, the head of the mixed and complex family establish-ment. In later Roman dayStLe morality of women and ths ntterloos-nr the marriage relation was "the i atir-ists and the grief of (rid and Horace agree that "female virtoe, was not to be found at Rome." Seneca says "The ladies count tneir years, not by the consuls but by ths number of their husbands and, says TertuUian, ia the latter part of the eeeoad oratory, "The women marry In order to be divorced, and are divorced in order to marry." The Teutonic tribes, ancestors of the Germans, treated their women better; bat even among them Wivee were articles of purchase and sals. Ldqually with horses and beeves, Among the lie Drews an auogesner nigner toea oi womanhead prevailed than among any other nations. Yet, even among them polygamy, with its manifold evils and degradations, was not uncommon. Woman's general position was far different from that accorded her from the very first under Christianity.

j. Among modern races and nations outside of Christianity, Woman's position Is uniformly ons of hardship and inferiority. -The woman of the American Indian aha eould ecarcely be called Ids wife waa his slave and beast of burden. She did the family work and carried the family woe, while he supported the family dignity and absorbed the family comfort, The Fiji Island princes were accustomed to lay the tfonr corners of tbeit residences upon the bodies of four women buried alive. And even now, ia the res moter South Sea Islands, when at great canes is launched, "lock" requires it to be slid into ths sea across the living bodies of enemies, when they can be obtained; or lacking enemies, across the hiving bodies of the tribe's own women.

Under the "Ugbt of children of six and? sight and eves' younger, are betrothed by their parents to husbands they have seen, and at ten and twelve are into a position always of taferiority, and usually of debasement and mlaerv. The nractice of burning widows on the funeral pyre of the husband continued; there till English law forbade it. "Women are still relegated tq the languor and inanity of the Zenana, and widows (of whom there are estimated to be twenty millions) at however tender age they, are left, in that condition, ace condemned to perpetual widowhood." treats woman no better than Paganism; it practices polygamy, ranks woman as an Inferior creature end the harem.

plimeoted the inmatee of Haywards' Hotel by an exquisite vocal serenade. It is bat iustioe to the Republican represen tatives of the hotel to explain that the serenade being unexpected, they were unprepared for a reception of the sere ad-era. But few ef the Bleeping rooms front oa the street where the singers had taken their stand, consequently the majority of the inmates, whose apartments are on the other street, were loeers of the delightful treat, much to their regret. The fortunate minority, who occupied morn favorable rooms, greatly enjoyed the music In the morning the Republicans, who are largely in the majority, being informed of their lose, were unanimous in their regrets, and. earnestly solicit a repetition of the visit.

And not only In theory, but in immediate practice did women take I A KKW FLACK With the incoming of Christianity, They took an active part in the early formative history of the Church. They were present at the first meeting of disciples after the ascension. Paul's first convert in! Europe was a woman. JJorcaa is a representative of woman's early work and charity among the sick and p'wr. Almoit as many women a men are named in the Pauline epistles, and ranked as efficient; fellow- helpers In the spread of the I gospel.

Among tne early fjbnettao martyrs. woman, like Blaudins and Perpetua, stood conspicuous. As also did such ai Monica and Paula in general social poei tion and influence. In a word, to the influence ef, Christianity, ielearlyj and in disputably due the whole conception of the dignity of womanhuod as we nave it to-day. It hat lifted her from the depths, and placed her the heights.

And in elevating woman Christianity baa created tne home. And now what, against this first coins, has infidelity to show! What contribution has it made to the elevation of women, and the sanctity of hums Let a historical fact reply. A few sears ince a petition waa prcseti tod to Uonirreas praying for re- Deal or material modification of certain laws for the suppreasioo of obscene litre-ture, and to prevent its trausmisson through the mails. This petition was in nsequence of toe eneigy which nad Deen displayed by Anthony Comstook' and others in breaking up numerous establish inenti for the printing and distributing i vile books and pictures. Tbeee were being minted bv the ton.

and were corrupUne and destroying large numbers of youth of both sexes. Anthony Comstock I praoti cally broke op the infamous buevoess. ThU petition was for such modifications of the laws as would protect 'and allow it Who signed and sent a petition like that to Congress It eras prepared. engineered, signed and presented by the so-called Liberal Leagues, In fidel societies. That petition is how on record in the archives of CoaKre-s.

'i I IL The influence of Christianity in Education. The world's great ancient Uni versities were planted by Christian hands. and in the name of Christ. At Oxford were "Monasteries and other religious houses long anterior" any appliances for secular education.

So of the German Universities, and those in Southern Europe. In this country Harvard was ioanded by the Puri tans in 1636, only sixteen years after their landing, "for Cbristi and; for the Church."

Philanthropy. In Luke IV. we read Christ's appropriation to himself of the old-time prophecy: "The 'Spirit of the Lord is upon me, beeanss be hath anointed, me to preach tae gospel to the poor; to be I the broken -hearted; to preach deliverance to captives; recovering of sight to the Wind-, and to set at liberty them that are bruieedv" Later iq his life, Mat XXV. we find him, bringing'i to bear all the sanctions of the eternal world in urging bis disciples to deeds of kindness and philanthropy. In feeding the hungry, they-bul(l ae teeang mas; in; visiting the sick, earing for the stranger, blothing the naked, comforting the prisoner, they should be accented aa hating done those things to Him.

Whtts in neglecting pr refus ing to dp them "to one of the least pf these, my; brethren," the should be regarded ae having neglected or refused such offices to Himeelf. Thus ingrained in its very in very nervee and burrow, philanthropy has been a fruit pf Christianity wheresoever it has gone.
