A Shallow Position.

Some twould-be philosophers pro-
fess to believe in NATURAL religion, and
to entertain, at tho same time, a con-
tempt for Judaism and Christianity.
Now since they reject the notion of q
supernatural revelation, it is incum-
bent on them to admit that Judaism,
and its development, Christianity, are
at least part, if not tic most impor.
tant part of natural religion. For,
in that case, thoy arc facts, facts of
nature, the ,eal products of mans re-
ligious nature, and as such, cannot be
despised. So that whether they bc
supernatural revelations, they desc rye
consideration or whether they be
but peculiar phases of mans religious
nature, they arc at least natural, MS
mere matters Of fact, and must com
mand consideration. No sober man
can deny sosplain proposition and
yet many a.thoughtlcss, but would be
profound philosopher acts, MS if it
wero nonsense. Christianity is some
thing that cannot be ignored, even as
o mere fact. 1t is either supernatu-
raj religion revealed by God, or it is n
wonderfully Important part Of any
system of natural religion. To mock
it, is to nook oneself. .uy
