Discussion In theological circles has been aroused by a remarkable dissertation by Kov. Thomas Hill of Portland , Mo. , published lu the last number of the Andovei1 Review on the death of the Savior. The writer dis cusses the proximate causes of tbo craclfix- pn and holds that Christ selected tbo mode of his death , choosing between secret assas sination and publicdeath on tbo cross. Thcso are the conclusions of Uev. Mr. Hill : Seeing tnat tlio cry "Ell , Ell , lama sabach- thnnl" is the llrst line of a familiar psalm , known to his Jewish hearers by that line , interpreted by them as referring to tbo Messiah , and seeing that the very charge against Jesus was that ho claimed to bo the Messiah , I do not sew how tboso words from the lips of the sufferer , could possibly have failed of the effect of openly declaring himself to bo the suffering Mes siah , So far from scorning to his hearers to bo u complaint that God bad forsaken him , it must have seemed to every Jew within hear ing to have boon a direct assertion to the contrary. There are ether considerations nnd some of them have decided weight , that note to confirm the.conclusions which I have al ready drawn from tbo narrative of the Evan gelists. The accounts of the crucifixion ( Matthew xxvii , 31 , 48 ; Mark xv , 23 , 3(5 ( : Luke xxiii. iM , 43. 40 ; John xlx , 20 , B7 , 2S-30) ) indicate that Jesus was perfectly self- possessed , declinlnlng to take nn opiate , but accepting the wines without drugs , and thinking moro of others than himself. JIo hud deliberately chose that maunnr of death , and ho had not miscalculated his own strength to bear it ; but , in the midst.of the cruel agonies of the cross , ho with calm dignity referred his foes , aud with coura geous consolation his friends , to the twenty- second Psalm. Of course , It is not for us to knowTallttho reasons which mndo Him prefer public crucl- lixion to private assassination. But when wo observe the great emphasis with which the miostles speak of His redeeming us from sin by being Himself "inadosin , " treated as accursed , for us , and when wo see the tri umphant career of the church , under tbo banner of the cross , wo got a partial light upon His choice. Again , when wo observe how strongly not only the apostles but our Lord Jiimself dwell upon the resurrection- Ills laying dowu His life ttint Ho mlghttako it again , His being delivered for our offenses and raised again for our Justification wo sea another reason why Ho wished a publicly at tested death , as a prerequisite to a publicly attested resurrection. The Investigation of the causes which forced the Pharisees to so sudden and so complete a change in their plans has given mo a now , and to my mind an exceedingly strong argument for the genuineness and authenticity of John's . Similar thenticity gospel. argu ments hnvo been adduced by other writers ; as , for example , Edward Evarott Halo has pointed out that Matthew xxlii , 87 , is utterly unintelligible except for the llcht poured upon it by the writer of tno fourth gospel. I cannot conceive It posslblo that anything ex cept truth in his narrative should have made it furnish the key to so many and such curi ously differing dinicultlos In the other moro traditional gospels. Methodist Politics. Office seeking , wlro pulling , nnd log rolling In the Mothoulst church are the subjects of a little volume published in Chicago , a collec tion of tlio opinions and experiences of repre sentative Methodist ministers of the Paclflo slope , western middle , southern , New York , and rjow England districts of the church , as to the prevalence nnd corrupting tnlluencos of the methods of practical politics In the church's ecclesiastical meetings. "Ecclesi astical Politics in the Methodist Episcopal Church" Is tno title. The unanimous opinion of the contributors Is that Methodist mints- tors have fallen Into thopractlco of unscrupu lous scheming for advancement to high places lu the church. Methodist conferences , the six roprosonta- tlvo ministers agree , have become the scenes of the most open and shameless selfishness and political machinations. In short , preach ers of a gospel that leaches them the "pre ferring otio another In nonnr , " are descrlbud us plotting with all the energy ana cunning of ' 'profane politicians" to secure ecclesias tical preferment for themselves at the ox- nonso of others. All tbo statements In the book are nmito In such boldly vigorous Inn- guaRU as abounds in the partisan litoruturo of u political campaign. The reverend con tributors call every spade a spade , and the pages uro thickly sprinkled with such phrases ns : "Arts too low for Christians ; " "bought , sold , swapped off. herded ; " "confenmco bosses , " "ecclesiastical politicians" "minis- tonal wire pullers , " "heelers and clacqunr of the general conference , " and even "tissue ballots. " The trustworthiness of the book U vouched for by Dr. Charles Parkhurst , who collected tbo articles in It originally for the Eton's Her ald of Boston , aud gives the assurance that iho writer * ' 'aro the elect servants of the church , und are prompted only by the desire to Inaugurate n reform in thU matter. " Their names uro withheld , merely "that the atten tion of the McthodUt church may bo concen trated unou the coudltlou revealed rathoi than upon the persona who expose the situa tion. " _ Drift I nu : to AgnoHtlClBtii. Tno views of Prof. Brlggs are radically op posed to the old belief of Prosbytcrlanlsm , inys the Now York Sun. Tlmt rests on the theory that the scriptures nro a dlvlno reve- utlon , and that what Is contained In the iilblo Is true and binding upon men , not because - cause it Is demonstrable to the reason or sus tained by any traditional authority , but simply because It is in thu bible. When , therefore , Prof. Briggs Instructs his pupils Hint the blhlo contains error uo less than truth , nnd that the reason has the rigtit to discriminate between the two , ho iihakes the very foundations of Prcsby- tcrintilsm und all orthodox bellof. Hn makes the -reason and not the blblo the Jadgo nnd authority. Hence it would Boom to bo obligatory on the general assem bly to declare Itself In the promises. The question as to what shall bo tno precise re visions of the Westminster Confession will bo referred back to the presbyteries , and therefore decision as to what the now crcod Is to bo will bo delayed , perhaps for several years. Meant ! mo all sorts of teachings might be nromiilgiitod as Prusbylorlun under the sanction of the liberty of biblical criticism liiuulciitcu by Prof. Brings. Mv. MacQucary himself might be put in a chair of the Union theological seminary , unless the assembly exercised its authority to forbid. The school might bccomo u school for the teaching of the out-and-out agnosticism to which the doc trines of Prof. Bilges so luovltubly tend.

Jossupi a well to do resident of the place , has gone insane over the crazo. A number of the vil lagers have professed to have been cured of various ills by simple faith anil prayer , and whun Jessup was taken sick ho refused to allow his family to call a doctor , relying for his recovery solely upon faith cure advocates , who surrounded his bed nt all hours of the day and night. Jcssup finally conceived the Idea that tlio Lord required a human sacri- Jlco.

Then he seized his little granddaughter , a tot of a few months , who was sleeping in the next room , nnu placed her upon the altar.

She had boon boarding ulth Mrs. Stella KadclIiTo for several months. Her sous seem to have neg lected their mother in her old ago.

The chief Inspiration of the great painters has como from the Christian religion , says Harper's Bazar. , The successive scones in the life of its Dlvino Founder which nro de scribed In the holy book the Babe in His mother's arms , the wlso men visiting Him , the entry into Jerusalem , Christ with His disciples these have enlisted the almost in spired enthusiasm of the Uaphaols , the Mur- illos. the Da Vlncls , and have thus onldndlcd the devotional ardor of successive genera tions ot saints aud martyrs. If the world owed no other debt to the Christian religion than for the art which it has stimulated , this alone would have vindicated its right to bo. St. .rohu of Knglaiid. Ono of the most striking figures In religious history Is that of John Wesley. The recent celebration of his anniversary by the Ep- worth leagues of America , serves to glvo added interest to the brilliant sketch of "St. Johuof England , " as the writer , W. T. Stead , characterizes the revered founder of Methodism , which will appear In the first number of the American edition of the Ito- viewof Hovlews. The strange contrasts and striking parallels between the lito of Wesley and that of Charles Bradlaugh , biography forms the ether character sketch of the April number , lend an unusual Inter est to both papers. Church Tnkos Up the Drnmn. It may bo less strange than It once was to see ministers at a tlicator , but it certainly is unusual for ministers to bo amateur actors , says the Congregationalism However , Hans Horrig's drama of Luther , iu llvo acts , was enacted oa the stage at Association ball , In Philadelphia , recont'y ' by the theological students of the Lutheran seminary nt Mount Airy , dressed in medlivsval costumo. Kov. Dr. Sparth led n lnrio chorus in singing reformation hymns. It was a success nnd the ' receipts were turned over to' the orphans' homo at Goimantown. Perhaps the draran might prove of real sorvlco to religion if actors could bo conflued to ministers and church choirs. Conduct tVbnvo Crcail.

Ho delivers himself upon the subject ns follows : "If you huvo seen 0110 play by Ibsen , you hnvo seen thoui all. A disagreeable and nasty woman ; an egotistical aud preachy man ; a philosophical sensualist ; dull and dramatic dialogue. Already thrco of Ibsen's ' plays hnvo been performed in London , but not ono of them has ns yet beou submitted to a can did anil unbiased audience. They have been produced before packed , houses and played by intelligent amateur * .

That would Do , on a basis of thlrty-flvo weeks , $175,000 over and above all expenses. This , wo believe , is na unparallel ed record for-tho presout season , nnd con tinues to amaze those people iu the company whoso previous expcriouco Old not extend beyond the British Isles. They did a poor week in Baltimore , the worst of their season. Mr , ICendal was commenting on it ono night , when ho said : 'Wo consider this rather bad hero , but what a devil of a good week It woulu bo at homo 1" Stuart Robsoii has one fad. Ho is now and has for years been a most persistent stamp collector. Years ago when the fancy llrst ciueht him ho came as near being a bore to his friends and acquaintances as a man llko him could bo. The fever of the hunt h.is naturally worn mvay with the passing years , llrst because ho has probably a specimen of about every stamp that has o'ver been printed , nnd , secondly , because it is natural the ardor should cool oft in tlmo. Still let him hear of a stamp In any part of the world ho has not got and ne never rests until ho places It among his collection. Mr , Kobson has , it is bellovcdtho finest collection of stamps owned by any private person in the country. The Dresden correspondent of the Musical Courier says that ' 'the young pianist Pado- rovvsky made tlio same sucouss in Dresden as he did everywhere else.

Thcro is no Chopin In terpreter , uo Chopin dreamer anil poet , like him , The sweetness of his toucii on the piano recalls Sarasato's on the violin. Ho alone has the power to carry his hearers with him Into that dreamy world of his great Polish compatriot , Cnopln , where so few of these who murder him ou the piano nro nhlo to enter. Padorowsky is thoroughly orig inal. It is refreshing to listen to his per formance , oven when his passionate feelings seem to get the bettor of his intellect.
