IN the February number of the North american Re-
rien, Prof. Geo. p. Fisher of the Yale Divinity
School, whose writings the supernatural origin of
Christianity and ecclesiastical history well
knowD comes to the defence of the Christian Reli-
glon against the attacks of modern doubt and infde
ty. No abler more eminent advocate for the ortho
dox faith could be summoned into the controversy
that has lately been waged this high theme, and 1t
is not too much to say that Prof. Fisher justifes
| every expectation by the vigor and cearness with
which he handles the subject. His contribution to
the controversy will be regarded with great interest
furnishing the latest statement orthodox views
In what may be regarded as an authoritative form.
Taking 1t such, the least part of value will
be found in the evidence it of the progressive
of the most strictly orthodox thought of the
day.
