RELIGION GOOD FOR EVERY ONE.
So il haS also been with the learning and
the oloquenco OF the world. People say:
Religion Is very good women, il is very good
for children but not for mem But We have

del IN music; Canoya and Angelo ia sculp-
ture; Raphael and Reynolds in painting,
Harvey and Boerhaave in medicine; Cowper

Theology The most brilliant writings Of
worldly nature are all aglow with scriptural
illusions Through senatorial spoech and
through essayist's discourse Sinai thunders
and Calvary pleads and Sloan sparkles.
Samuel L. Southard was mighty in the
court room and in the senate chamber; but
be reserved his strongest eo4uence for that
day when he stood before the literary socie-
ties at Princeton commencement and pleaded
for the grandeur of our Bible. Daniel Web
ster won not his chief garlands while he was
consuming Hayne, nor when hc opened the
batteries Of bis eloquence on Bunker Hill,
that rocking Sinai OF the American revolu-
ton; but on that day when, III the famous
Girard will case he showed his affection for
the Christian religion, and euloSized the
Bible. The eloquence and the learning that
have been on tho other side came over To our
side. Where is Gibbons historical peni Where
is RoLospierre's swordl Captured for God.

this day 70 have the printing press and the

amidst those impurities that stared on him
