THE ETERNAL CONFLICT.

''ThOu shalt believe the Lord Jesus Christ"
So the command of the orthodox Christian church
rumeth and all who heed it not forever and
eternay damned.
Any religion that could consistently hold to such
doctrine and insist upon an obedience thereto by
thinking men and women seals its fate and is
unworthy of consideration. A man is to be
blamed for disbeieving in deity than he is for dis
believing aught else that seems to him to be absurd.
Man doubts because the evidence submitted is alto
gether unsatisfactory, he is incapable of properly
