Rev. J. A. Dixon has been giving some
very interesting lectures Sunday evenings
on Genesis and the Pentateuch. He closed
his series of eleven on the evening of the
oath. His object has been to show the har-

also to prove the authenticity and inspira

exceedingly helpful and instructive, and
many have been convinced that there is no
conflict between well established science
and the Word of God.
