 Gen. Cary, of Ohio, delivered for the first time, last evening, in the Reform Hall, to large audience, lecture recently prepared in defence of the bible against the assaults of in fdels and skeptics. The reputation of Cary as an orator is world wide and deservedly so. This lecture will add to his fame as asthink- CT, logician, a philanthropist ands orator He defends the bible from the secular stand point purely. From the opening to the clos inc of his eloquent discourse he does not al- Jude to the doctrines or dogmas of Hebrewism, Catholicism or Professionalism. It would be impossible to determine from his lecture whether he is Jew or Christian. This is un- like the defence of the scriptures hitherto made, as they are tinged with the dogmas of the peculiar creed of the speaker. This pe- culiarity will of itself command the attention and sympathy of men of all creeds in fact, of all belivers in the bible. ----zzss----;-. sq
