things which we do not understand II

Glen's Falls, New York, the oath, will
bring together the leading Quakers OF
the country. Several hundred dele

INGEEsoLl VS.. GLADSTONE.
Ingersol in the hands of Gladstone is
a pigmy in the grasp OF giant. The
statesman show VS. that IN ge1soll's argu-
ment against Christianity is nothing
more than a tissue of shiny assumI-
tions, founded upon belieG in his own
infallibility. The main merit of the
great sratesman's paper is to lift the
Controversy out of the low grounds of
particular and often misleading details, !
which have served Ingersoll with so
much ambiguous ammunition, into the
of principles and reason. |
Tnae-soll can no more live in this keen |
a atmosphere than a water-snake in the |
hriIIiant and arid skies of mountain |

murky fens of his native swamp, amidst
the rank growth of decay, where bush |
and log and scummy pool serve as
hiding places, but here in the full
Iigbt of reason, where no subterfuge
