Higher Criticism Means Higher In
fidelity.
To-day every college. every theological
seminary throughout the whole civilized
world. is teaching what is commonly
| known as higher criticism OF the Bible
! though the proper name for IL would be
higher nfidclity-nfIdeity amongst the
| high ones OF all Christcndom. These
| higher critics arc doing the same work
| exactly that Thomas Paine and Robert
| Insersol did, only that they are carry
| ing on their work on higher plane-ap-
but 10 the refined, intelligent and truth
| seeking. AS result their influence is
| thousand fold more injurious. Those 10
whom Paine and InecrsoIl appealed were
| very rarely Christians ut all; hence they
destroyed very little faith-they merely
made the unoelicf more rank and foul;
But these higher critic infidels OF this
