To Tie Editor af The Tribune.
CHICAGO, Aug. ls.-In reading over Ct Cad
,,us,u letter to THE TRIBUNE at Aug IS it is
yrry plaiulY to he seen that he is neither true
,;t;7rn nor Christian. All through luis letter
n, writer seems to forget the solemn fact that
:. is blaspheming the Almighty God, for in his
-;d;cn1e and abuse OF one Of Gods servants he
does not seem to remember that the Lord has
<.;d that it is the same if it were done to Him.
eo,f and in all his vain talk about free and In
senendent country where people can do as they
n,esse be should not forget that there is One
rho is King over all, and to whom the nations
If the earth are but very little thing. Does
the writer recognize who he is opposing aud
h,.snhemiug when he speaks iu such terms as
those used of Gods holy word and day! He
.,co adds .cTeeds " to these. Now the creed
,at,inly is of no vital importance, SO long as
re rsch recognize the fact that We are guilty
sinners and that there is anIy one way by which
we NAV be saved from our Just condemnation,
and that that way is the Lord Jesus Christ. AS
iour as ne believe on and accept Him as our
s,v;oT. what men term tscrec.ls ~ are Of little
,mnortapce That the Roman Catholics reject
The Lord Jesus Christ as the only mediator be-
tveen God and man needs NO prOUf, and cOnse
nurntly any one who, like Mr.. Parsllurst, does
ii in lis power to save lis fellow-bcings from
these wicked and deceitiul irnpostors, and who
tres to make known tu all Christ's words, No
man co1neth unto the Father but by A1e.'' may
h. certain Of having God on his side, and con-
seouently need not be troubled, though the
Whole country should, like sc Cadmus," criti-
rise and ridicule linn in Ills Masters work.
God says:
n sana, Earth, Earth. hear the word Oft he
Ind! Hear the word Of the Lord @ &c nations.
Seek sc the Lord while lie may be found. Let
The wicked forsake his way, nad the unrichteous
man biz thoughts, aud let him return unto the
lord and He will have mercy upon him. and to our
God, sor lie will abun!antly pardon. For God so
lo-ed the world that He gave Ills only begotten
Son that whosocver beleyeth in Him shall not per-
lsh but hsye everlasting life. Verify. verify.
ssy unto you, He that hcareth my words and be-
licreth on Him that sent me hath everlasting life.
md shall not come into condemnation, but is
passed from death unto life; As live, saith the
lord have no pleasure in the death of the wicked
but taat the wicked turn from his way and live:
Tcrn ye turn ye from your evil way, for why will
ye die: Behold. the lcrds hand is not shortened
that cannot slye neither is His ear heavy that it
e,uuut bear: For the Son Of man is come to seek
Saving, and worthy Of all acce!tation. that Jesus
Ck.et came into the world to save sinners: where
fore He is abc to s-.c them 10 the n;tcrmost that
comc unto God by l.im, seeing Lie ever liveth to
make intercess,on for tLela.
But God also SAYS Of those who refuse to
submit to Christ's lore:
The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the
nations that forget God. He that stitch in the
heavens s1.a H. g: tie Lord sha! have them in
dersiLn. Then STALL lie speak Into them in His
wr.ln, aud sex them i'll His Gisplcssure.
Ie se7pepts, yc generation Of vipcrs, how
ihall ye escape the danuation ot hell!
