Religious Controversy.

MEssRs. EDIToRs The lecture Of Mr.. Ives on
the rule of faith, report of which appeared in
your paper of Tuesday, was one of the most in
genious assaults upon the Holy Scriptures which
have ever read, from the pen either of infide or
Roman Catholic. In admitting it to your co
lumns, you Of course calculated that if any be-
lever in the Holy Scriptures as the word>of God
and the only infallible ru, of faith and practice
would wish to reply to it, you would be bound t.
admit such reply, if couched in decorous Ian.
guage. hope that, in this Protestant country,
such assaults upon the Scriptures will not be
permitted to go unrebuked or unrefuted. 1t is
true, Mr.. Ives has presented nothing new. His
arguments have been presented by Jesuit writer's
again and again, and as often refuted; but the
points taken by him are the strongest which Rome
has been able to present and they were evidently
ngeniousy arranged. Will none Of the Protest
ants of this community step forward to defend
the Bible against these Jesuitica assaults? Or is
public sentiment in our city in such morbid
state-is our Professionalism such q mawkish af-
fair that it will not tolerate defence Of the very
truths upon which our liberties are founded !?
Sure | am, that if any Protestant had made so
direct an assault upon Rome rs this Mr., Ives
has done upon Professionalism, there are not q few
| (nominal) Protestants amongst US that would
| have cried out, How uncharitable!' -whilst the
| Romanists would have been enraged. Now are the
pulpit and the press free only for Rome2 In
| November, Bishop Timon made an assault upon
Professionalism and common sense in lecture in
ST. Matthew'S; but its feebleness and folly Sc
cured it from animadversion. Mr. Ives thanks
to his quasi Protestant education) is man of
more vigor. | hope somebody will notice him.
ALIoUIs
REPLY.--Our reporter gave substantially the
lecture Of MIR. Ives, in accordance with the prac-
tce Of the press, that the public might be ap-
priced of what was passing in one Of the principal
churches of our city, and not for the purpose of
originating religious controversy. If, however,
single article is rendered. strictly confined to re-
plies to the various declarations reported in our
paper, we shall not feel at liberty to refuse its
publication. TELEGRAPH.
