repeat that all the mighty men Of the
Scriptures were aloof from pOlygamy, save
as they were pounded and failed and cut
to pieces for their insult to holy marriage.
II the Bible is the friend Of polygamy why
is il that in all the lands where the Bible
predominates polygamy is forbidden, and
in the lands where there is no Bible it is
favored. Polygamy all over China, all
over India, all over Africa, all over Persia,
all over heathendom, save as the mission
aries have done their work. while polyg-
amy does not exist in England and the
United States, except in defiance OF law.
The Bible abroad, God houored monogamy,
The Bible not abroad God abhorred polyg
amy.
THE GLORY OF CHRISTIAN MOZAMBIQUE
Another false charge whichinfdelity has
made against the Bible is that it is antago-
nistic to woman, that it enioins her degra-
dation and belittles her mission. Under
this impression many women have been
overcome Of this plague of iufdelity. Is
the Bible the enemy Of woman? Come
into the picture gallery, the Louvre, the
Luxembourg Of the Bible, and see which
pictures are the more houored, Here is
Eve, a perfect woman; as perfect u woman
MS could be made by a perfect God. Here
is Deborah, with her womunly arm hurting
a host into battle Here is Miriam, lead
ing the Israelitish orchestra on the banks
of the Red sea. Hereis motherly Hannah,
with her own loving hand repleushing the
wardrobe Of her son Samuel the prophet.
Here is Abigail, EneeiinE at the foot
Of the mountain until the four hun
dred wrathful men, at the sight of her
beauty and prowess halt, halt-a hurricane
stopped ut the sight Of Il water lily, a dew
drop dashing back Niagara, Here is Ruth
