How docs this comport with Fowlers asser-
ton that the religion of Phrcnology or natu
raj Religion, in con.radislfnciion TO revealed
religion, hallbecome the religion Of man?
/" And many people shall go and say, come
ye, aud let'us go upIo the mountain of the
Lord. to the house of the God of Jacob,
and he will teach us of his way, aud we
will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall
go forh the law, and the word Of the Lord
from Jerusalem. And ! e shall Judge a.
mong the nations, and shall rebuke many
people; and they shall beat their swords in
10 plows hares, and their spears into pru-
ming hooks; nation all not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war
any more" IsaiahIf
Now all this is included in Fowlers pro-
phetical description OF the blessed state of
things to be brought about by thewonder--
working thing called Phrenology He says,
"fhe present generation may slumber over
these Its truths, may even scout and reject
them. Even future generations may live
uncheered by the sun Of moral science, and
die unenlightencd by its rays."@ But he
further declares that the time viii come
when mankind shall heed its preccpts and
doctrines, And "I'hen shall the fiery star
Of Sectaranism set in endless night, and
never more torment mankind with its malig
nant rays. Then Stall religious bigotry and
Intolerance cease for everFAlen shall see eve
to eye. Unrestrained religious liberty shall
pclvade our happy earth. " And he assures
us that then shall man continually feast up
on aforetaSte Of the joys of heaven; and that
the earth shall be as the portals of the courts
Of eternal glory.
God has said GAS the rain cometh down,
and the snow faom heaven, and returneth
not thither, but watereth the earth, and
maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may
give seed TO the sowcr and bread to the eater;
So SHALL MY WORD BE that goeth forth out
Of my mouth; it shall not return to me void,
Gs1FBuT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH
/ PLEASE, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto sent it," Isaia, LV;iO,ll.
But Fowler says that Phrenology and
Phr nology only shall effect the pleasure of
the Lord that when its religion shall become
The religion of man then shall the earth
bloom as the paradise of God!
Further: Phrenoiogy is 10 accomplish m'r
atoasmsnt For on page 1863, Fowler tells
us that the code of Phrenology was sealed
before savior was needed, and that there
fore it does not comprise the scheme of re-
demption. Yet it is destined to save the
world from pollution! ,tnd the inevitable
conclusion is that the atohement is utterly
unnecessary, And herein Fowler impeaches
both she Goodnes and Wisdom of God. For,
/. He delivered his Son to death which
was totally unealled for: And.
9. Established a system Of salvation which
offer all is a failure! (See page 90, on
which he declares that if an experiment
tried through oil ages since the christian era,
and by a vast majority Of christendom,
can prove any thing, its result, or rather its
total failure, shows that taking man as he
is, and the Bible as it is, the latter can never
be the all sufficient guide of the former; not ~
the Bible was given for the
express purpose of supplying the necessities
OF man in his fallen condition Il
But as he admits that God, who has so
signally failed in Revelation. is the author
of natural religion or Phrenology also, how
does he know that the latter will be any more
efficient than the former? He thinks Chris
tianty failure, but supposes that Phrenoo-
gy cannot possible fail, whereas he believes
that both proceeded from the same Author!

preparing the foregoing for the press, and
merely quoting from memory, verbal in ac

the sense. Hereafter, trust shall be
