DECADENCE OF THE SUPERNATURAL.

“ The universal idea of the interposition of a personal agency in the most common concerns of every-day life, and the most ordinary natural processes inherited by the European, has become gradually discarded. As science, by successive efforts, explains the sequence and changes in natural phenomena, so mysterious to ignorance, the idea of personal agency becomes gradually eliminated, and driven further beyond the region of diredl observation and experience. And, as it escapes ordinary attdntion, the idea of a supernaturalism gradually fades from the recollection, and ceases materially to influence conduu.” —Wminster Review.
