a work from seven Of the leading diSiues
Of England, even amid the excitement Of war,
can scarcely fail to attract the marked atten-
ton of the christian public. The "essays and
Eegiews," to which these are a crushing reply,
are s restatement, under the gulse of 4 false
philosophy and the charm Of high but merely
Intellectual tculture, Of the old argu-
ments and objections against the truth
Of christianity. In one form or snoth-
CT this argument is renewed in
every generation, and always with the sane
result So long as men arc corrupt and hate
the truthrso long as s sentimental phioso-
ply seeks to exalt itself above the simple
saving principles of the gospel, SO long will
1leY strive to unhinge the hopes Of believers,
and destroy the church of God. "They know
not what they do,'' for with the ruin Of chris
tianity, Civilization would lose the only e1c.
1nent that gives It permanent yi.llisy, and
