A Plea for the Old Testament.

A Michigan pastor spiritedly takes up
against the notions that depreciate the Old
Testament:
Christ said: Search the scriptures for
in them we think We have eternal )ife-and
they are they which testify of me-" What
scriptures are we here exhorted to search
What scriptures did the Jews, the Apostles
and Christ have? Not the New Testament

Victims of the lnuuisition.

A statement derived from an abridge-
ment of Torrents History of the Inquisi-
ton in SPAIN" third edition, has been pub
lished by the Edinburgh Spanish Evan
gelical Society, giving summary of the
victims of that bloody instrument of Ro-
mish intolerance from the beginning, in
1881, down to 1920. The whole number of
victims, including those burnt at the stake,
burnt in efigy, and sent to the galleys, is
1876, 497. Closing the record in 1749, since
which date only fourteen have been burn
ed, and PCS sent to the galleys, we have a
total, in 1868 years, of 6,154 burnt at the
stake Just about one third of the whole
awful work was done under Torquemada,
in the first seventeen years of the history
of the institution, when 10, 800 were burned,
6,840 were burned in effigy, and 81 ,361
were sent to the galleys. 1t took nearly
sixty years to make up anotherthird of the
victims Of the s:ake; while a full 100, 700
were hurried to the galleys in the short
space of % years. After that the work
tagged, even under the rule of the three
Phillips, and two centuries, during which
the world was moving into the light of the
Reformation, were required to equal the
seventeen years of Torquemada If any
one wishes to know whether Spain escaped
the influence that went abroad with the
Reformation, he need only read the addi-
tional fact, that 260 persons were sacrificed
in the last century of the inquisition az.
ainst 1l4,271 persons in the flst seventeen
years of its existence; or the fact that il
the forty years before the Reformation
2+2, $50 were destroyed while in the sixty
years Immediately following only 10000
suffered. Humanity stands appalled, at tn,
record, and christianity bushes at thu
atrocities committed in her name.

A LITTLE BELIEVER.


Little Alice was one of my Sabbath
school scholars, fair-haired, blue-eyedlit
tie girl, whose beautiful face and sweet
winning ways made her a favorite with all.
Methinks | can see now the soft tender
look of her mild eyes, fixed so earnestly
upon me as l endeavored to impress upon
her opening mind the gospel plan of saliva
ton. One day | said to her: "Alice what
will you do when you die and are called
upon to stand before the judgment seat of
God, to answer for all the sins done here
upon the earth?" Her face glowed with
emotion as she answered, Christ died for
sinners, | will hide behind Him. God will
not look at me- He will look at Christ"
Beautiful thought, TO hide behind Christ,
to lose ourselves in him; and casting aside
our own impure works, to rest solely and
entirely upon his finished work for saliva

A LITTLE HERO.

Nothing is more beautiful than piety in
a child. \ few weeks since, an interest
ing little girl was brought to the Massa-
chusetts hospital, in Boston, to be subject
ed to a very severe surgical operation, the
only thing that could save her life. As the
medical professor, in the presence Of his
class, placed her on the surgical table, she
lay down, and clasping her hands together
and lifting up her eyes, exclaimed, 80 Je-
sus, know thou lowest me, and if die, |
shall 60 right home to heaven" The good
professor was so much affected that he
could not proceed Immediately, and nearly
all were moved in tears.
