A GREAT many good people are full Of
forebodings and fears lest lntidelity and
atheism, by the aid of science and the
eloquence OF orators, should undermine
the foundations of Christianity. If faith
is weak the history of the past should
teach the folly of the thought. 1t has
stood the shock OF giants through all these
centuries, and at every assault, when the
smoke of battle has cleared, the beautiful
structure of Christianity has appeared
not only unmarried, but with more
marked beauty and completeness. Try
as it may, the intelligent world cannot
escape from the truth everywhere i'm
pressed upon it, that the Christian reli-
gion is wonderfully adapted to the best
and truest interests of the sons and
daughters Of men. This is true not only
OF the future state resting upon faith, but
the present condition, in the home, in
society, and in the State. To all these it
gives a charm, excellence, and solldity
never reached or even Appropriated to
under any other system. In the past the
walls of Christianity lave been assaulted
they Will be in the future; but their de-
tenders will be none the less valiant and
equally Observation-Disclosures
