THE PROPOSED PRAYER-GAUGE.…
THE PROPOSED PRAYER-GAUGE. [ Profasor Tyndall should hardly have given the sanc- tion of his deservedly respected name to the unworthy piece of literary irony,—for such we unhesitatingly deem it,-in which an anonymous writer in the Contem- porary Review proposes gravely to the believers in Prayer to make an attempt at quantitative measurement of God's accessibility to prayer,-i.e., at a physical deter- mination of the value of special Providences. If the physicists are as accurate as they are apt to be arrogant, they should at least know how to respect the religious feelings of the believers they despise, and not attempt to poke fun at them in the shape of thinly-veiled scoffs at their most profound and intimate faiths. We are aware, indeed, that some of the readers of this elaborate sarcasm have attributed it to a believer and not a disbeliever in the power of prayer. We will give in a moment our reasons for feeling confident that this is impossible, but a single sentence of the paper to which Professor Tyndall has lent his sanction will probably suffice to convince most of our readers ef its true nature. Speaking of the special prayers for sick people in imminent danger, the writer says, It is one of the advantages of rank and gentle birth in England that special prayers are made for such every week at least, in most Churches through- out the country" :—few will doubt that the author has here been unable to repress the sneer of which his whole paper is an elobrate embodiment, nor that uis demo- cratic bias in this case combined for a moment with his sceptical feeling to sharpen the sting of his sentence yet as a matter of fact, we imagine the truth to be quite otherwise. In most churches one hears prayers for the sick poor every Sunday, while the reserve of the rich usually prevents their asking the prayers of the congregation, even where they are not sceptical as to their value. What Mr Tyndall's friend affects to wish is this,—that special prayers should be continu- ally offered by all the believers in prayers who will consent to join during three or five years, for the recovery of the patients of a single hospital, without depriving "one single child of man" of what the writer had almost called his natural inheritance in the prayers of Christendom." He would then compare the average duration of sickness and the average rates of mortality in that hospital, with the same rates for the Bameclassjof diseases in others not specially distinguished hospitals, and regard the shortening of the average time of sickness, if any, and the diminution of the death-rate, if any, as a residuary phenomenon due to the special prayer-power concentrated on that institu- tion. We describe this ironical proposal with some- thing of reluctance and disgust, for we confess that we do not think subjects of this kind suitable for efforts of literary sarcasm. If sceptics like to state their doubts and their pity for others' unreasonable faith openly, we have nothing but approval to express. So, and so only, can the doubters come to understand the believers and the believers the doubters. But the instijpct of the tapper, and the policy of the ambuscade, cannot be applied to subjects of this kind without indefinitely increasing the estrangements and bitter alienations of our religious and irreligious worlds. And now we will justify the line we have taken about this insidious challenge, by stating why the author's proposal seems to us, what a certain number of simple religious people will very likely not find it, a covert sneer; and not the frank challenge of a culti- vated inquirer. What Christians believe for the most part, is that God answers, sometimes in one way and sometimes in another, those prayers which really come from the depth of the heart,—prayers which cannot but be accompanied by a deep effort of submission to his higher will;—and when we say that he answers them, we mean that he makes a real answer, whether in the way of pitiful denial, or tender assent, or assent in some different and deeper sense them that of the request itself, which is manifest to the heart of him who offered the prayer. But we should be much surprised to learn that any man who bad really given up his mind to thoughts of this kind at all, had ever regarded his prayer as a sort of petty dictation to God, the effect of which might be measured like a constituent's pressure on his representative in Parliament, by the in- fluence it exerted on the issue. You pray, if you pray in the spirit of Christ at all, not for a specific external end but because it is a deep relief to pour out your heart to God in the frankest way possible to limited human nature, and in the hope that if your wish is not granted, your want may be. Suppose you pray for the recovery of a mortally sick friend, who dies. What your prayer really consists of, is the confession of the blank you fear for yourself, and still more, perhaps, for others, of your dread of losing the moral help and sym- pathy so essential to you, of the yearning that this trouble may not come on those whom he threatens. And is not that prayer as much answered by the substi- tution of other and possibly more potent moral in- fluences for those which are lost, as by the recovery of the threatened life ? Yet answer to prayer' in the sense of the conciliatory writer in the Contemporary, as Professor Tyndall flatteringly terms him, could mean but one thing,—that the specific life threatened should be restored. But beyond this, the proposal of Professor Tyndall's friend is of a very ambiguous character, for a deeper reason. He respectfully declines to attempt applying what he calls the more rigidly logical and philosophi- cal method" of comparing one ward in a hospital where the inmates had every care and help except inter- cessory prayer, with another where they had all these influences and the advantage of intercessory prayer as well; because, as he justly remarks, it would not be possible to keep religious people from offering up special prayers for the ward on which the experi. ment of no prayer ought to be tried. In other words, we suppose he thinks it would be difficult to discover a spiritual equivalent for the process known as hermetically sealing a glass tube against the intrusion of any physical influence from without. He is obliged, therefore, to have recourse to the inductive method known as that of variations,' rather than that of differences.' He cannot wholly deduct the influence of prayer in any case, but he suggests that a special excess of its influ- ence might be secured in a particular case, and that you might in this way seeure an increase of the effect in proportion to the increase of the cause, if the cause be a vera causa at all. But he quite forgets that to have the true antecedent he wants in any sense in which most Christians admit its efficacy, you must have for your antecedent a prayer that is the single expression of the heart, and not something which, while it seems to ask one thing, is really pointed at another, and which makes the recovery of the patients in a particular hospital a mere indirect mode of applying a barometric gauge of the special providence of God. When an intimate friend asks a favour, not because he simply wants the thing he asks for, but wants to test his influ- annt* -.ith the Derson whom he is soliciting, we all know that the whole condition of the request is changed, and that very often what the friend solicited would accede to in the former case, he would refuse as a deliberate abuse of personal influence in the latter case. No doubt Professor Tyndall's friend might reply that, in the Old Testament at least, we have m- stances, notably Elijah's, where prayer was professedly an invitation to God to to give the world some means of judging of the influence which a particular person had with him as a kind of sign that this person was really inspired by an omni- potent and omniscient Being. But whatever we may say of Elijah's proceeding, Christians accustomed to think that they are forbidden to ask for signs of mea- sures of their influence with God, and that it is to this morbid tendency that our Lord's words, even as to his own similar temptation, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God," specially apply. Certainly there is something simply revolting to the spirit of Christian prayer, in the proposal to gauge indirectly, by con- tinuous prayer for a particular institution's success, the divine susceptibility to prayer. How should we think of any one who prayed,-i e., who ought to be pouring out the deepest longings of his soul,-for the restoration of certain persons to health, only to make a delicate ex- periment on the relation between the spiritual and physical forces of the universe ? Does it follow because in some sense God answers true prayer, he would answer the demand for a scientifically scaled prayer-gauge ? Even Elijah put his prayer for a sign openly. He asked for nothing desirable in itself, but solely for a physical sicn that his God held the elements in his hands. But what Professor's Tyndall's friend desires is that we shall cloak our request for a sign under a request for some- thing which we suppose to be intrinsically desirable that we shall approach God disguised with a sort of excuse on our lips, our object not being in itself the re- covery of the patients of the particular institution, but the scientific determination of our moral command of the fountains of divine mercy. Can it be well con- ceived that such a proposal could be made except in profound irony ? But Professor Tyndall and his friend will reply, Well 'then yoa confess that the power of prayer is- for physical purposes, at all events-pracUca!Iy m- forDShvSe ?you resist, even with scorn? all a^ttempts to test its limits and how can you expect physicists to believe in any physical cause ?tever, w?hich is ad- mitted to have only incalculable effects ? To wblCh we should simply rejoin, How, indeed? But w o ever thought before of convincing physicists, as physicists, of the reality of a power, which by the very nature of the case they could not as physicists appeal to, even if they were convinced of its existence?" A great ambition often produces a great career, but you cannot produce a great ambition by dwelling on the charms of a great career. A great love defies death, but you cannot get a great love simply by wishing for a force strong enough to defy death. So earnest prayer may have a myste- rious power which it is quite impossible to trace, even over physical events, but you cannot get earnest prayer simply from the intense desire to mould physical events to your will. Prayer is, if it is anything at all, com- munion with God and the very conditions of the case exclude this base experiment on the possible construc- tion of a prayer-gauge. And free communion with God excludes, and necessarily excludes, the desire to dicate the answer. Its language is accommodated to the language of Isaiah, My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, saith the Lord for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so arc my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." If Christiana are not ashamed to pray sometimes for specific physical blessings, it is or ought to be, rather as the simplest expression of their anxieties, than as expecting that the divine response either must or ought to be the giving of the exact bless- ing, or the warding off the exact trouble, which they name. We believe prayer to be a true power, which alters the external course of the world as well as its in- ternal course but we believe it on precisely the same kind of evidence on which every sane man believes that the passionate desires of individuals so often realize themselves, and that tho hopes of multitudes create the great historic changes for which they cry. It seems to us far simpler to believe that those results take place through the Providence of God, than that they come to pass through the magic influence of human passion,— far simpler, because there are so many objects of desire which intense desire only throws into the greater distance, while with high moral and spiritual objects of desire, at all events, this is never so. But we should be as sincerely disgusted with such an experiment on God as Professor Tyndall's friend suggests, as he is probably delighted with himself for the invention of that tri- umphant dilemma into which, as he imagines, he has wedged the superstitious crowd whom he desires to expose.- Spectator,
MR. MIALL'S MOTION.
MR. MIALL'S MOTION. The change in the form of Mr Miall's motion was an unintentional admission that the task which he has proposed to himself is more formidable than he at first thought. He has abandoned the idea of carrying the Established Church by assault. A politician who looks forward to a long series of annual debates is naturally anxious to give them some variety of form. Without this the tale of defeat becomes too monotonous. Everyone knows on which side every one else is going to vote, and-allowance being made for accidents and the Parliamentary death-rate—the same division list reappears year after year. A difference in the im- mediate object of the motion ensures at all events some little speculation as to the extent to which the change will influence the result. Recruits occasionally come in from unexpected quarters, and though the gain when it is expressed in actual figures may be small, it yields in prospect a disproportionate amount of en- couragement. This, it must be supposed, is the reason why Mr Miall has substituted a motion for inquiry into the revenus of the Estabished Church for a direct motion in favour of disestablishment. Inquiry is a word of so much milder import than disestablishment that he prob- ably hoped to catch the class of men who are attracted by anything in the nature of a compromise. From any other point of view it must be held to have weakened his case. Technically, of course, inquiry may be simply a prelude to abolition but it is so much oftener a prelude to reform and re-arrangement that the world has come insensibly to associate it with the gentler mode of treatment. Mr Miall was guilty, therefore, of the absurdity of asking for a stone when he wanted bread. If he had obtained the inquiry contemplated in his motion he would have been no nearer his object. Supposing that Parliament were supplied, by means of a Royal Commission, with full and accurate particulars of the origin, nature, amount, and application of any property and revenues appropriated to the use of the Church of England, how would the cause of disestab- lishment be the better for it? The difference of opinion between Mr Miall and the majority of the House of Commons would remain just where it is. Both sides would know a little more accurately than they do now what is the value of the endowments appropriated to the use of the Church of England, but this knowledge would not change their opinion of the propriety of the appropriation. When a question like disestablishment really presses for settlement, the precise magnitude of the pecuniary interests involved is one of the least important elements in the problem. It hardly formed an element at all in the disestablishment of the Irish Church. The principles which ought to govern the division of endowments into public and private, and the retention of the latter by the disestablished Church, had to be laid down but when this was done, the remaining work was the busi- ness of Commissioners and actuaries. Indeed Mr Miall would not be content to stand by the result of the inquiry which he suggested. No amount of evidence that the financial arrangement of the Established Church are characterized by wisdom, purity, regularity, and economy would induce Mr Miall to cease from attacking them. He seems to think that he has landed the supporters of the Established Church in a dilemma when he tells them that the ought not to shrink from any information being given which would enlighten the misinformed and misguided opponents of their system. He forgets that they may turn round on him with the question, Is it a subject upon which you are open to enlightenment ? If it could be proved that there were no abuses in the administration or distribution of the ecclesiastical revenues of the country, would you be any more ready than you are now to leave them in the hands of their present possessors ? Mr Miall described himself as at a loss to conceive what the real objettion to his motion could be. The answer is, that it is a motion from which no advantage could accrue to any. body. Such an inquiry as Mr Miall speaks of is super- fluous if the Established Church is to be maintained, and equally superfluous if it is to be abolished Con- sidered as the first step towards disestablishment, it must be set down as a step which does not carry those who take it any further than they have already gone. Considered as a first step towards a large measure of reformation, it is open to precisely the same criticism. It could have benefited no single person except the paid officers of the Commission. Mr Leatham's speech on seconding the motion altogether threw over its supposed object. So far as appeared from his arguments, he has no wish to dis- establish the Church of England his ambition stops short at the disestablishment of the Cathedral Chapters. It is not difficult, even without ignoring all that has been done in the way of improvement, and speaking as far as possible of aggregate rather than individual incomes, to make out a case for Cathedral reform. The objections to Mr Leatham's mode of reasoning are that the inquiry which he asked for has been already held, that the exaggeration which characterized his charges is exactly calculated to prevent any use being made of the information which is already available. When the Cathedral question is described as being as ugly and urgent as ever," attention is naturally diverted from the real changes which the Cathedral system requires to the conspicuous injustice of this mode of attacking it. It is an abuse of language to describe the Cathedral question" as either ugly or urgent. In the sense which is usually given to these words it is neither the one nor the other. There are few or no glaring abuses to be corrected all that is required is that the latent usefulness of the ? Cathedral system should be better drawn out. If Mr Leatham will take the troublb to construct a plan for effecting this object, he will probably find that it is not quite so easy as he supposes to reconcile the con- flicting claims of past services and present use- fulness. Perhaps he would adopt the rough and ready expedient of confiscating the entire body of capitular property for the benefit of the parochial clergy, by which means, as he told the House of Commons, no less than 5,000 poor parishes might be endowed with f50 a year each. A more ingenious expedient for frittering away money could hardly be devised. The endowment in each case is carefully fixed at an amount which would leave the incumbents of the parishes in question very little better off than they are now, while at the same time this scarcely appreciable increase of income is obtained by the confiscation of all the posts which there are to be given as a reward for service done to the Church. Mr Leatham appears to be under the impression that canonries are, as a rule, in the gift of private patrons. If his zeal for obtaining information had allowed him to make use of information already obtained, a reference to the Clergy List would have informed him that they are virtually divided between the Crown and the bishops. Of neither of these patrons can it now be said with any truth that they would prefer their own kindred to men of learning, young or old." Mr Leatham may think that this or that appointment has been made on insufficient grounds, but he will rarely find an instance in which appoint- ments are made on other than public grounds. In so miscellaneous a body as the Church of England there will often be great difference of opinion as to the quali- fications for promotion; but neither the Crown nor the bishops are likely to set public opinion at defiance by promoting men of no qualifications at all. Mr Miall must be convinced probably by this time that he has been premature in committing himself never again to lot the question of disestablishment drop. No doubt there is a stage in which questions are distinctly helped forward by being insisted on in season and out of season. It was only natural perhaps after the unexpected ease with which the disestablishment of the Irish Church was effected, for Mr Miall to think that the disestablishment of the Church of England bad advanced to this degree of prominence. It is pretty evident by this time that the number of persons who care very &trongly about Mr Miall's motion is extremely small, and there are no signs that it is increasing. The cause of disestablishment may possibly gain an unexpected impulse from events inside the Church of England but in the absence of some belp of this kind there is no probability of ita speedily losing that de- bating-society character which Mr Gladstone rightly attributed to it. Mr Miall and his friends rely on some supposed sympathy between the English public and the general movement of European thought. In this respect, at all events, we believe Mr Disraeli to be right. when he says that the English people are national rather than cosmopolitan.-Satiirday Review. HOLLOWA'Y IS PILLS AND OINTMENT.—Billious affec- tions with all their concomitant annoyances induced by Sosnh ric changes, or too liberal diet, should be checked at ?n?or serious consequences mny ensue. When any one finds his ideas less clear than usual, his eyesight dimmed, and his head dizzy, accompanied by a reluctance for all exertion, physical or mental, he may be quite sure that he is in immediate need of some cooling and purifying medicine. Let him at once send for a box of Holloway s Pills, which will free him from his sufferings, and speedily renew his usual beautiful feeling. If the bowels be irrit- able, Holloway's Ointment should be diligently rubbed over the stomach and liver every night and morning. Thunderstorms of unusual severity prevailed in South Wales and the western and southern portions of Eng- land on Saturday. From some districts reports have reached us of great damage having been done to property. As regards Glamorganshire, the force of the sterm spent itself in the Merthyr valley. The village of Troedyrhiw was inundated to the depth of between four and five feet. At Aberdare two pits connected with the Plymouth Iron Works were flood in conse- quence of the bursting of a reservoir used for the pur- pose of supplying the works with water. THE MONEY MARKET.-The Economist says that the peculiarity of the Money Market during the past year has been the remarkable degree in which it has been often influenced, and has always been liable to be in- fluenced, by the operations of foreign Governments. The whole tendency of recent events is to make England the place of settlement between different civilized countries, and therefore England is peculiarly liable to be affected by the sudden payments of inter- national balances of such unprecedented and immense amounts. We must therefore expect to have many fluctuations in the value of money arising from this peculiar and temporary cause. At one time we must expect to have much money here, because either the Government which is to pay keeps it here to pay it, or the Government which has received it keeps it here, because it is the most profitable place for it. This tends to lower the rate of interest, and then we must expect that rate to be liable to sudden jerks and tilts upwards when our foreign political creditor for some unknown reason thinks it best to remove his deposits from us, and perhaps to require a considerable part of it in bullion, which he locks up, and does not let the world see again. And it is also to be remembered that we are beginning these new and greater international operations with less resources than we had last year for the smaller one :-Last year the bullion in the Bank on the 5th of July was a26,495,000, it now is £ 24,065,000; a diminution of £ 2.430,000. Last year the reserve of notes and coin in the B'ink was £ 16.529,000, it now is £ 12,618,000, a diminution of £ 3,91 1,000. So that we must not expect the variations in the value of the money to be smaller and less sudden than they were last year we must rather expect them to be greater and more sudden, because the reserve of money on which they operate is considerably smaller, and the market in consequence more delicate. In such a state of commerce and of the money market as now exists, this prospect is extremely serious, and requires to be very carefully weighed. We are in a sanguine period, to say the least of it, when countless schemes are suggested and propounded, and some are commenced and acted on. In such a period there is a natural tendency to incur liabilities of greater or less magnitude, and more or less immediate and those who are think- ing of incurring these liabilities should be distinctly aware that they will have to meet them in a market in which the value of money, never very stable, is likely to be peculiarly variable-when unprecedented causes for perturbation undeniably exist-and when therefore the liquidation of these liabilities may neither be so easy, so little costly, nor so little dangerous, as it would commonly be. NEW METAL POCKET VESTA Box WITH PATENT SPRING COVER.-Bryant and May have recently introduced a very useful little Pocket Vesta Box with a most ingenious and simple spring cover it is a novelty in every way, and will soon come into very general use—being the meat instead of card, and retailed, filled with vestas, at one pnpny. Any Tobacconist, Grocer, Chemist or Chandler, will seuply it. What is true Economy ? Many thousands are daily studying the theory of economy, but fall short in its practice, for true economy is found in buying the best article at the lowest market price avoid bad tea, that is tea got up to look well to the eye, with mineral powder, Prussian Blue, and Black Lead, and sold at a low price; select your purchases from a reliable source where the high standing of the firm is a guarantee to you that you will be well served this is always found with Horniman's Tea. The public have for upwards of 30 years given a marked and decided preference for this really genuine import, because it is always strong to the last, very delicious in lfavour, wholesome and invigorating, as well as cheap.
