on the side of the heaviest battalions,
"This is the best possible world, III
there were no G cd it would be- necessary
to invent him, II nave ons short pray
Or, my God; render my enemies very
ridiculous. God has always heard me-"
Miss Elise Lent, in her paper on
Voltaire in Literature and Science, SAID
that while preJudcs is even at this day
rather strong against Voltaire, he was
really an iconoclast who used his ham
mer to some purpose. The drama Noltaire
considered as good teacher, leading to
noble living and correct thinking. His
essay on man is the finest panegyric ever
written on the ministry of Christ. Vol
taire was reformer. patriot, philan.
thropist and true friend. No impiety
or blasphemy in his writings; he only
satirzed what he 50 intensely hated, SUI
perstition, sham, hypocrisy, double-de cal.
ing and oppression. Like Thomas Pal inc,
Ito do good was his religion"
