THE ATHEIST SILENCED.

Some years ago, the Rev. Isaac Guseman
made trip to Iowa. On board the steamer
in which he took passage, there was gen.
tlemau who took great pains to make known
that he was opposed to Christianity, and all
forms of religion.
He spent most of the day in arguing with
those. who would dispute with him, and in
pouring forth anathemas against prlestcratt
and the credulity of mankind. He denoun-
ced Christ as an impostor, religion as delu-
sion, any particular form of worship or creed
as the result or trammels of education, and
that it was only tolerated by statesmen for
the security of government, and the beneht
of the weak and erriug. He was evidently
man of education and ability. His repair
tee, drolery, sarcasm and a faculty for tur-
ming things into the ridiculous, bore down
so heavily upon those with whom he argued,
that they we're generally silenced though not
convinced. .-
One day he was in high glee, and kept a
crowd of passengers in a continual roar OF
laughter at his irreligious jokes and with
cisms. On this occasion Mr.. Guseman, who
had hitherto refrained from entering into
any dispute or controversy with him, deter
mined to try and silence him or turn the
laugh against him. He accordingly moved
slowly towards the crowd, the skeptic was
amusing, on his approaching the other, OBJ
served:
"Well, old gentleman, I am free think
er, what is your notion about religion T.
"Why, sir, I have always been taught te
believe in the truth of the Christian religion
and have never once had doubt of the eA
istence of supreme and intelligent cause
! But in turn, let me ask you a question: -
"Do you believe in the Immortality of the
soul -
"Certainly mott have none"
"Do you deny the existence of God T.
"Most assuredlyI do"
oThen, sir, have heard of you before. "
; "Hcard of me before !"
"Yes, sir, have read about you"
"Read about me! T was not aware thai
was published Pray, where"
"In the Psalms of David, sir, where il
reads, The fool hath said in his heart, there
it no God.'"
At this unlocked for turn in the argu
ment, there was one general burst of laugh
ter and hurra, at the expense of the atheist
who confounded and unable to rally at being
thus unexpectedly proved fool, moved
away to another part Of the boat. During
the remainder of the voyage the wiseacre
was silent on religious subjects but occa'
sionally some of the passengers would tease
him by slyly observing, "l hare hearl %
uou Lrforc."
