THE CHRISTIAN RELIGIoS.-We have received
from the Office of the North Anaioaa Rerier, q
pamphlet containing the articles that appeared
in the Reriep, in the last few months, discussing
the Christian Religion. There are two papers
by Col. Ingersoll, one by Judge Black, and one
by Prof. George P. Fisher. Judge Black petit
fops the case, and Ingersoll uses him up. Prof.
Fishers article is very much ADLER than Blacks,
and he keeps his temper. His defence Of the BIZ
BILE and of the divine character Of Christ, is pow
erful; but when he gets down to the doctrinai
points, or the ''supernatural' phase of religion,
as church people are pleased to call it, his effort
becomes laborious, and his argument obscure
and unsatisfactory. Like a man wading in wa
ter, he gets along charmingly as long as he can
keep his feet on a solid bottom; but when he
gets beyond his depth, he founders, and splash
ss, and sputters He spoils the good effect pro-
duced in the first part of his article, and does
not help the matter by referring to other article
written by himself, proof of the correctness Of
his position. The pamphlet contains over l4e
pages, and any one wishing to read it, can gel
il, by sending so cents to the North American Re
| rielr New York.
