Some Other Thoughts.
EDITOR TINES: We think i; fortunate for your
| Lew contributor, NJ. F.. that he heralded and
| announced by you week in advance as sable
without tint weighty endorsement Of the TINES,
many would not have so regarded his ruisGuota-
tons and mistatements, his Dar-room slush and
personal abuse. Heuce our right of reply With
Anxious we might, a. any time have closed or
continued the mutually respectful and pleasant
discussion. Stupid indeed must be the sable NJ
f. not 10 apprehend that the entire effort has
been, not to regularly argue establish or disprove
religion or christianity for instance but chiefly
( question Of method. ard theories of thought,
opinion and belief. Incidentally suggestive ar
gument by way of illustration The entire differ

in these 'other thoughts may be illustrated for

from us which he says savors Of bigotry II it
does, when fairly and abstractly considered, then
NJ. F., Anxious, and their method OF argument and
conclusions with Pope Bobs) are established
IT, however, the words quoted suggest a well
known condition Of things. and habit Of thought,

we had thought and learned that neither the
author nor the result, Of an argument, or demon
strationcan be of controlling weight in considering
it. Hit has the inherent qualities Of sense, truth,
and logical sequence, lit leads from something to
something" and if We are fair we MUST follow,
and assent. Follow our opponents as well as our
own. Otherwise We are mere creatures Of preju-
dice and caprice, not following our reason, nor
established facts This entire controversy started
over the sentence "every mind is a kingdom,
! every brain sovereign" We do not wonder at
| the effort OF NJ +. to contract the evident scope
and meaning OF those words as first used, though
| his understanding of them gives him away,
oee'er III inc pfoad doctrine they assert, l. e, he
| may apprehehd them TO mean and assert

cannot convince him OF his error nor successfully
