PRESIDENT ROBINSON OF BROWN UNIVERSITY.
Rev. DR.. Robinson, president of Brown
university, preached in the Calvary Baptist
church last evening. He took for his text
| the fourth chapter of the Epistles of Ephe-
slams, part of the 21st verse: GAS the truth
is in Jesus" He said There some truths
| that can be studied in only one way by who
other truths that always take coloring from
the mind. This is true of the morals and
science. You read the earlier prophecies of
Isaiah, and you say here is a distinct style
of writing; you read his later prophecies and
you again say here is another DESCRIPTION of
style. Modern. critics say these prophecies
were not written by the same man. The
diversity is manifest and you must recognize
it. He explained at length these differences
in the writings and presented very strong
conclusions that they were written by Isaiah
and no other. He said that the gospel
preaching of Jesus was the simple truth and
so plain that all could understand who read
the gospel. Learn from these truths to be
charitable and say, "We believe in God and
Jesus Christ his son." and to whatsoever
holds to his truths let us say, God speed
him. The sermon was rare treat and was
listened to by very large congregation.
