demonstrated by the facts OF the geoio-
Rists and astronomers, the anachronisms
and exaggerations of the Bible He made
statements the equivalents OF which may
be heard every Sunday morning OF the
year in the Christian churches all over
the world. lie made claims which have
long since been allowed and willingly
endorsed by many Christian ministers
and on the otner hand he outlined a
creed In which he himself believed and
which he calls the religion OF Reason, TO
every word of which thousands OF Christ
ians would gladly say "Amen."
His principal argument was that the
Bible is not inspired and there are many
Christians who long age. came to the
same conclusion and in the words OF a
sermon delivered In this city only last
Sunday forenoon they believe that only
that is inspired which can give inspira-
tion and that therefore there are parts OF
the Bible which are inspired, no more
and no less than there are parts OF shake
speare and passages in the books OF the
poets of our own day which are capable OF
giving inspiration.
The lecturer did not at any time use the
word "infallibIe" and the same sincere
men and women who believe In the teach
ings of Christ, the man, claim without
any pretence of being radical that the
Bible Is not infallible.
Colonel 1ngersoll IL open to criticism;
on the point of unfairness. he uses the
word "Christian" without any qualifica-
tion, whatever, and he attacks the reli-
gion as IL it was today still in the same
stage of development that 1t was in
hundreds OF years ago. He gives no
credit for progress and does not admit
that Christians, by the hundreds OF thou
sands, believe In evolution and the findings
of the scientists without attempting to
apologize for and explain the scheme OF
creation as given in Genesis and with
out trying TO oppose the words OF the
New Testament to the demonstrated facts
of established science.

FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH"
Lecture by Colonel Ingersoll at Infantry
Hall.

Robert G. Ingersoll paid glowing trib-
ute TO Christ, as the man ana teacher,
in his lecture at Infantry hall lsst night.
He eulogized the founder OF the Christian
religion, considering that founder as a
man and not God, a man whose birth
and death was natural,a man whose work
and teachings were devoid OF all things
supernatural and miraculous, and a man
whose influence for good had extended
from his own time to the present day. 1t
was a magnificent passage in his lecture
on foundations OF Faith" in which the
eloquent sgnostic said these things OF
Jesus Christ. Ii was followed by ''but
there is another side, and Z, that other
side of the story OF Christ IngersoH referr-
ed TO the miracles and TO the discrepan-
cies in the biographical accounts of Mat
thew and Luke as furnishing proof that
the books of the New Testament are not
true ana therefore not inspired. And
further than that he attacked the inter
pretatious of the sayings Of Jesus which
have furnished the excuse for persecution
in the name OF religion and which have
been held up and emphasize as standing
for the dogma OF eternal punishment and
which have been inserted by the priests
and theologians themselves to be
used as club over the heads of
the credulous and superstitious and
to give a semblance of truth TO the
doctrines which they have wished the
world to adopt as gospel.
The Colonel lost no time In getting at
his subject. His first statement as he
walked out on the platform, after the APP
plause had ceased, was "Truth IL one,
religions are many" He enumerated all
the religions OF the world, ending with
that of the Christians and then told what
the foundations OF the Christian faith are
or were-the Old Testament. the New, the
birth OF christ, the atonement, etc., etc.
lie took up each point separately and
