Bob Taylor on Ingersoll.

II sat In great theatre at the ma
tional capital. 1t was thronged with
youth and beauty. old age and wisdom.
I saw man, the image Of his God,
stand up on the stage md / heard him
speak.
Ellis gestures wers perfections Of
grace, his voice wss music and his Ian
guage more beautiful than any I had
ever heard from mortal lips.
''He painted picture. after picture
Of the pleasures and joyssand sympa-
thies of home. He enthroned love
and preached the gospel Of humanity
like an angel. Then saw him dip
his brush in the ink Of moral black
ness and blot out beautiful pictures
he had painted. l saw him stab love
dead at his feet. / saw him blot out
the stars and the sun and leave hu-
manity and the universe in eternal
| darkness and eternal death.
II saw him, like the serpent of old
worm himself into the paradise of hui
man hearts and by his seductive elo-
quence and subtle devices and sophis-
try inject his fatal venom, under whose
light it's powers faded. Its music was
hushed, it's sunshine was darkened
and its soul was left q desert waste
with only the new made graves Of faith
and hope.
II saw him, lawless, cratic me-
teor, without an orbit, sweep across
the intellectual sky, brilliant only in
it's self-consuming FIRE generated by
friction with the indestructible and
eternal truths of God.
"That man was the archangel of
modern inGdelity, and l said, how true
is Holy Writ, which. declared The
fool has said in his heart, there is no
God
@Tell me not, oh infdel, there is no
God. no heaven, no hell! Tell me not,
oh, in6del, there is no risen Christ!
"What intelligence less than God 8
could fashion the human body? What
motive power is it, if not God, that
drives the throbbirg engine of the hu-
man heart, With ceaseless, tireless
stroke, sending The crimson stream Of
life bounding end circling through
every vein and artery?
Whence and what, if not Of God,
is this mystery we call mind? What
is it that thinks and feels and knows
and acts? Oh, who can deny the di-
vinity that stirs. within US?
"God is everywhere and everything.
His mystery is in every bud and bios
som and leaf and tree; in every rock
and hill and vale and mountain; in
every spring and rivulet and river.
''The rustic of his wing is in every
zephyr; its might is in every tempest.
He dwells in the dark pavilion Of ev-
cry storm cloud. The lightning is
his messenger and the thunder is his
voice. His awful tread is in the earth
quake and on every angry ocean. The
heavens above us team with his my
riads of shining witnesses. The uni
! verge cf sclsr systems whose wheeling
| orbs course tho crystal paths Of space
proclaim through the dread halls of
eternity the glory and power and do
minion of the all-wise, omnipotent,
eternal God. "-Johnson City Comet.
