New South Wales Finance

Sydney, November 7 The forecast of the Financial State ment says that owing to the present position of the finances, it is practically impossible to do away with the £600,000 of taxation received through the customs. It is expected that the treasurer will ask the House to pass the estimates for six months, and allow the readjustment of the tariff to stand over till the estimates for the new financial yeai have to be prepared. It is be lieved the deficit for the year will amount to half a million, m addition to the accumulated deficits of previous years.

Mr Gladstone and Mrs Benant.

Mr Gladstone's article m the Nineteenth Century on ' True and False Conceptions of the Atonement' proves to be m part a criticism of Mrs Besant's autobiography. This book Mr Gladstone describes as a *4 spiritual itinerary," ia 'which one sees "with how much at least of intellectual ease, and what unquestioning assumptions of being right, vast spaces of mental travelling may be performed." Upon this characteristic cf Mrs Beeant'o auto biography Mr Gladstone comment 3 with out reserve :—" The absolute self-com placency of the authoress bears her on through tracts of air, buoyant and copious enough to carry the Dirctean swan. Mrs Besant passes from her earliest to her latest stage of thought as lightly as the swallow skims the surface of the lawn, and with just as little efforc to ascertain what lies beneath it. An ordinary mind would suppc.se that modßßty was the one lesson which she could nob have failed to learn from herextraordinary permutations; but the chemist who shall analyse by percentages the contents of these pages will net, I apprehend, be m a condition to report that of such an element he can find evtn the infini esimal quantity usually And conveniently denominated a •trace.' Her several schemes of belief, or non-belief, appear to have been enter teined one after another, with tha same undoubtingconfidence, until the junctures successively arrivtd for their not regret ful, but rather contemptuous, rejection. They tre nowhere based upon reasoning, but they rest upon one and the same authority—the authority of Mrs Besant." Mr Gladstone wants to know on which of Mrs Besant's religions people are to rely, and, if he is told the last, is ready with the rejoinder : " Yes ; but who is to assure us that it will be the last % It re mains open to us to hope, for her own sake, that she may yet describe the com plete circle, and end somewhere near the point where she began." It is pointed out that Mrs Besanb *'accepts with apparent acquiescence the remark of hen dying father that ' darling Annie's only fault was being too re Kgioufi,"' And Mr Gladstone severely adds :—" In all her different phases of thougftt that place m the mind where the sense of sin should be appears to have remained, all through the shifting scenes of her mental history, an absolute blank. Without this sense it is obvious that her Evangelicalism and her High Churehism were alike built upon the sand, and that m strictness she never quitted what she had never m its integrity possessed. Speaking generally, it may be held that ehe has followed at all times her own im pulsions with an entire sincerity ; but that those impulsions have been wofully dislocated m origin, spirit, and direction, by an amount of egregious self-confidence which is m itself a guarantee of failure m mental Investigations." Mr Gladstone's discussion of the Atone' menfc principally occupies the remainder of his article, because one of the proposi tions which were examined and rejected by Mra Besant when a "young lady not yet out of her teens" concerned *♦ the nature of the atonement of Christ, and the justice of God m accepting a vicarious suffering from Christ and a vicarious righteousness from the einner." To allege with regard to an essential part Of this proposition that it Is really incor porated m the teaching of the churches can only be described, m Mr Gladstone's opinion, as " rash and blameworthy ignorance." The article then deals at length with the theological question, and contends that the forensic phraseology m which the Atonement has been described, and the responsibility of its vulgar com parison by some preachers to a transac tion as one across the counter, does nob appear to belong to Holy Scripture. In the course of his argument Mr Gladstone says:—"The entire case of the human Inhabitants of this planet has been made m most important respects exceptional through the introduction of sin into the ■world. Hence it is that, as we are assured by the Apostle, we are ordained to be a spectacle for men and angels. In other words, it would accra thab this world does not exist for itself alone, bub is, m some manner which we cannot yet unless most vaguely conceive, to serve a most important purpose of example, warning, or otherwise, on behalf of other portions of God's intelligent creation." Another striking passage contains these reflections: —* It seems difficult to account foe the blindness which fails to preceive the profundity of wisdom which underlies the simplicity of the Gospel. The philos ophy of the Incarnatiou is, indeed, a great and indestructible philosophy. It was said that Socrates plucked wisdom down from Heaven. The Incarnation brought righteousness out of the region of cold abstractions, clothed it m the flesh and blood, opened for it the shortest and the broadest way to all our sympathies, gave it the firmest command over the springs of human action, by incorporating it m a person, and making it, as has been beautifully said, liable to love.' Mr Gladstone maintains that * the great sacrifice of Calvary does not undermine or enfeeble, but illuminates and sustains the moral law'; and that the proposition of Mrs Besant, which*he has discussed at length, * is naught.'
