immoral conduct Of many Of the shining
lights OF Bible history. can have any
doubt in his mind that the world IS better
to-day than II was before the coming OF
Christ and during his life upon earth.
No class Of men were so utterly rcpulslve
20 our Lord, no class OF men so severely
classified and denounced as those OF the
"strlctest sect OF the Pharisees, the
leading church members OF the day.
Church members Of this age are far from
being perfect. but there is no question
that the standard Of religion is higher
and that those who profess religion i've
nearer up TO the teachings of the Bible
than the church members Of other times.
The church NEEDLES less and less with
politics and dcvotes its energies more ana
more TO the great work for which II was
designed. Never before was there such
an extensive recognition Of the fact that
"Chrisrs kingdom is not Of this world
But TO proceed. In discussing the ques-
tion Of modern skepticism, Mr.. Fishburn
said:
If YOU want to find skepticism. 20 back
10 the time Of the Primitive Church ana
hear the apostles admOnishing against
Arianism. Gnosticism. Docetism, Ebioni-
tism and Neoplatonism. If you want 10
nud hcrctics. go back TO the Middles Ages
when the Bible was chained 10 the mon
astcry pillars ana see the revolt OF the
human intellect against the absoiutsm OF
the church: the days when bulls and de-
Cretals were enforced by scOurge ana
thumbscrew and fagot. If you are look
ing for heretics, so back 10 the time OF
the Reformation, or 10 the beginning of
the present century, the time of Noltaire
and Rousseau and the French EncNclope-
dia the time OF Thomas Paine and the
Age of Reason. when. at the inaugura-
tion Of President Dwight. there were only
four processing Christians in Yale Col
lege. as compared with 50 per cent. Of the
present enrolment
And finally he referred TO the fact that
in Jerusalem in the days Of Christ. the
lame and the halt and the blind We're laid
beside the pool to await the moving of
the waters" while now an such are cared
for ia institutions supported az the public
expense. lie referred to the fact that
maniacs were turned loose and made 10
live among the tombs, going naked here
and there and making the night hideous,
while now we have asylums where they
are tenderly cared for, and, If possible.
restored TO their right minds. lie might
have referred also 10 the manner in which
lepers were driven away from the abodes
of men as cursed with uncleanllness.
whereas they are now colonized and made
as comfortable as their wretched condi
tion win permit. This IS the only age.
said the speaker, I'm which the sun ever
looked down on scene Of practical sym
pathy like this.
The old times were not The best There
never was an age when there We're so
many convniencos and when life was SO
well worth living, when human liberty
was so precious when the individual was
held in such high regard. when there was
such a striving after the better part. The
world is better. far better from every
point Of view. than ever before, and we
agree with the Rev. Mr. Fishburn that il
is growing better all the time.
