Editor Journal: Considerable in terest has been taken in the discussions that have arisen from the refusal to cer-' tain persons of the rites of Christian j burial. This leads to the questions of ! what it ia that constitutes a Christian, varying beliefs, fetishistio and otherwise, and what constitutes the primal' in nature. " One belief is that matter is the primal in nature. This is materialism. Is this a fetishism? Another is that the sun ia the primal. Is son worship a fetishism? Then there is Swedenborgianism, one' of the forma of hero worship.- Materialism was advocated by Aristotle. He gave ten attributes to matter. The names may be found under the word category. Later the number was reduced to five, found under the word predicables. In more modern times matter is said to possess two attributes motion aud gravity. This is molecularism. Then the agnostic says be don't know. Again mere is a dual oeiier Tnat the two force and matter r.r the dual primal. Substantialism is a form of this. The distinction between molecularism and substantialism is that the latter holds that each exists and are real; while the other holds that only matter is real, and that motion and .gravity insists, that ia exerted within the forms of matter but do not go out Again there is a trimurti of the Hin doo myth of the Vedas consisting of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva, forming creator, preserver and destroyer, but really a form of heat, gravity and cold. In molecularism the moleculars of matter are the primal, and possess, ex erted within themselves, a molecular force. In the unity of nature, the uni verse ss a grand unicnle possesses a sim ilar energy existing throughout its whole that may form a unilocular ener gy. There is a drift in later times to hold to a unity in nature. While Budd ha Guatama held that there was a power existing throughout nature yet it was held to be a non-sentient power. There is a belief growing that Christ taught that there was a power existing through out nature but it was a prescient power. This unity in nature holds that the universe is a unit That outside space is void. This power or energy acting in continuous form and the forces arise. Continuing in action and aggregation and the micro atoms and atoms that form the molecules of matter arise. Thus the forms of matter are the forms of energy; reaching the inorganic; then or ganic; advancing from life to sensation, the sentient, prescient and immortal. Is this Christianity? He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, and he that believeth shall not be condemned. Does baptized mean the same as imbued? Should any one be denied the rites of christian burial? Man is uot the judge. The uppermost problem in nature is whether the power in nature is a sen tient or non-sentient power? CONWAT. Hunters, Take Notice !
