tFor the Glotel
Why Infidel Notions Prevail Among
Common PEOPLE,

Eater Rutland GloJe BY common
people, | mean those who are not profess
edly students and authors, but who give
their time and energies to the active bust
ness of life. One reason why infdelity
prevails among this class of people to as
great an extent as it does, is because infdel
ideas are propogated in the secular, and
even religious press, without any suitable,
or even profcssed answer to them. The
religious press for years has been the me-
dunn through which have gone to the peo-
pie the most poisonous nfdelity under the
garb of science, and these same papers
have done little or nothing TO expose the
baseless fabric of these rotten theories. An
occasional sneer has been thrown out, a
bit of sarcasm and ridicule, and then per-
haps an orthodox communication is full
minated at the novel assumptions
of Darwin and Tyndall. BY this time
the free thinkers, pan,helsts, atheists.
and deists take up the assumptions of these
theorists as facts Of science, az results
proved, and claim new evidence of the
falsity of the Bible Concident with these
things some apostle Of T. Payne will
elaborate these vagares into au essay and
preach it before an intidel club, and then
publish it. No answer appearing, no word
of dissent given, and no protest being made,
of course, it aids powerfully in shaping
common opinion in favor of the most
radical, infidel opinions. l hold then, that
the secular and religious press are largely
responsible for the new impetus that is
given to infidel notions.
Another cause Of inidelity among COM
mon people is the natural bias of men TO
unbelief, furnishing fit soil in which this
infdel seed can germinaie and thrive.
Were this soil given up by christian work
ers, and iniilcl notions sown broadcast by
the secular and religious press, an easy
triumph of iutidei,y must be the result.
Infidelty is natural to mems minds as
weeds are to the earth. Christian editors
who feed infdelity are as unwise as the
farmer who grows this,les to overspread
his own and his ncighbor's land
