Henry Ward Beecher in a recent
sermon said of the Biblical genesis OF
our race: 1T is gigantic lie, told with
much circumstantiality, that men were
created perfect and then fell; that ir
Adam and Eve the human race fell al
around. God did not make bad
job and then paste and plaster it all up
In sense God made laws to bt
broken The idea is to be dis
claimed and trampled under foot thai
men must do thus and thus or be de
stroyed. l don't hold the theory
of the Atonement. ! reject thu
Mosaic economy and take larger view
of Christ's work. The truths o.
the Bible are not to be swallowed whole
but to be sifted."
