Some time ago the Home journal was
invited to catechize the News in relation
to matters of theological nature, but
the invitation was not accepted, as we
doubted whether any good would result
from it. Still, the tone and tempe. of
the News editorial seemed to indicate
that the editor Of that paper was able,
willing and anxious to answer anything
that might be asked, and inasmuch as
there are some hard questions which
have been troubling the thinking men
of the world, we have concluded to
comply with the request of a friend and
allow him to submit a few questions to
our neighbor, which will be found in
