For the LIGHT
Theology is q turbulent sea of &C.
ciesiasticsl opinions, and priests and
preachers are the nsvigators. The
Bible is their craft, credulity their
sail and hope their anchor. A grand
theological equipment this
He who hath brains, let him think I!
If sin is burden to your con science,
and you are sinner, why not man.

ties" let him generously exercise
them in such way or capacity that
they may be an uplift to weaker
natures than his.
All the virtues which Christianity
may possess are purely human and
all her vices are relics of crude ami
malism.
What after all is life? IT'S at most
but bubble eleEtlessly tossed hith>
er and thither upon the vast ocean OF
time by the cspricious winds of des.
tiny, finally to be ruthlessly dashed
to atoms upon the cold, unteeling
breakers of Eternity.
Knowing so little OF this world
why should we pretend to know go
much of any other? o, what fools
some mortals be!
Is it possible that the good or
Christian finds so much pleasure in
maligning the man of "infidel per.
suaslons?" Is this characteristic OF
Christ?
A good man is not necessarily q
Christian, and q Christian is not nee.
esssrily good man. Take your
choice.
"a man is a man for a. that" This
is automatic.
