JOHN BRIGHT has told me that he would be |
content to stake upon the Book of Psalms as |
it stands, the great question whether there is
or is not a divine revelation. 1t was not to him
conceivable how a work SO widely severed from
all the known productions of antiquity, and
standing upon Level so much higher, could be |
accounted for except by special and extraor-
binary aid calculated to produce special and
extraordinary results,-Mr. Giddstone's Recent
Article on the Bible.
