go into any physicians office in Kan
sas City or elsewhere and find medi-
cal journals on the table, or books in
his library, which he never has read
TO his family, yet good books, pure
books, scientific books, without
which he would not be worthy the
name of physician. They are to be
read in private. You must know
that there is such thing as patholO-
gy of disease. You must know that
there are parts in the Bible which are
the anatomy of ini9uity, which are
descriptions of the laZir house Of the
soul when il is unrestrained, and from
the reading of those portions in pri-
vate We arise with healthy disgust
and horror for ain. The pathology
must come before the pharmacy and
the therapeutics. Every physician
knows that. Any man who has the
least smatterink of medicine knows
that. The pathology or discussion of
the disease, before the pharmacy or
cure of it. From certain portions of
the Word of God we 20 forth as from
a dissec;ing room, more intelligent
than when We went In. but In EO wise
enamorei nf putrefaction. There is
"a Byronic description of sin which
allures and destroys, but there is
Bible description of sin which warns
and saves. Mr.. IngersplI has no
right to denounce the whole Bible
because there are portions of it es-
peciSlly appropriate To he read in prl-
waite, than he has right tn denounce
ali medical jDurnals aud all books of
pathological discussion in physicians
library. Ii he does one he must do
the other to be consistent.
Mr.. Ingersoll goes on in his carica
ture, and he denpuuces the Bible be-
cause, he says, there is not a word i'm
the Old Testament but is w0mtn's
shame and humiliation, and then he
picks of the Bible and reads few
verses in the New Testament to show
that the Bible all the way through is
the degradation of woman.
