We glory in the language of Justice

christian religion. Every word thar

sentence alone should commend the
molly Book to those who have lost faith

no others. we refer to that part OF his
speech which says Its promises are
the sweetest and most comforting that
has ever come to the tired hearts of
man." If there is comfort in this
science should have little weight in
disproying the divinity of the book.
Language in support of Holy writ,
or coming from such high eminence as
the Justice of the U. S. Supreme court
should have some weight with those
weaklings who take pride among their
fellows in pretending they are agnos-
tics, atheists or whatnot, so it is diff
ferent from the general belief of man
kind. Surely the tiny brains of some
of them should find rest in the sem
tence of comfort spoken by justice
