ed Them by comparison about "cheap d.

letter OF his text and went for the biggest
guns OF science, seemingly determined to
conquer or leave "Molly Stark a widow"
True science, true knowledge, true culture
are adjuncts of the gospel of Christ. All
facts which scientific men offer are but
part OF Gods truths, His ievelatlon write n

cannot be trusted in establishing the truths
OF the Bible, it cannot be trusted In estab-

verdant and lasting, go right into the |

vermont bishop, not many years ago TO
prove slavery divine institution from the |
Bible, the very kind of reason that made
the Netherlands sweat great drops of blood |
for eighty years and even down to near
our time in an adjoining state, inflicted
wrongs on trembling innocence that can
only be righted in the great day. 1.-THE
sublime reason of faith" or the sublime
reason OF inhdelity, is alike a misnomer
and puts all things in danger. There is no
sublime reason but from knowledge, from
what we know. Still further on the speaker
makes high soaring superstition about
