art the man. has entered the lists
on the side of superstition, and has un-
dertaken the impossible task of re-
oonciling the two genealogies of Jesus
Christ This new recruit as you will
notice, exercised the usual Christian
spirit to the limit and instead of kind
ly trying to take the doubters into
his loving arms and there reasoning
with them as to the error of their ways,
he calls them children of the Devil.
and other opprobrious epithets not us
ually supposed to be in the vocabulary
of a Saved" hypocrite-one that has
been born twice.
When this Doctor of Diyinity-this
intellectual orphan-this educated
parrot--this distinguished parsonage.
FL Nathan who never had an original
idea, was called by the Lord to preach,
the Lord in the multiplicity of business
cares forgot to call the audience to
hear him and as a result Of this over
sight on the part OF the Lord this Di-
vine has full congregations-ful Of
empty benches, and in the interim he
has had the time and opportunity to
carefully study up Conybeare & How
son. and other Bible commentators
and has given up their ideas as to the
difference of two or three hundred
years in Christ's genealogy
This explanation is very remarkable,
to say the least. The only difficulty
with this explanation is that it is alb
solutely false The Book certainly
should be an authority on this matter,
and ii plainly states in Matthew /,
Chapter and 10th Verse that Jacob
lbegat Joseph the husband of Mary,
of whom was born Jesus, who is called
Christ In Luke III Chapter 23rd
Verse, this language occurs: And

the son of Joseph, which was the son
of He'll" Nothing is said here about
one of these passages referring to his
Mother and the other to his (supposed)
Father-nothing said about the ROYAL
line, whatever that is. In each case
!. the account says JOSEPH.
If this Priest who so glibly repeats
the fictions of other persons would ex
anime for a moment the inconsistency
of his position. he would be more care
full of his statements in the future.
Question? Why should Matthew, q
man who according to this preachers
pretended belief, wrote by inspiration
make a mistake and why will it be
necessary to explain away this inspired
writer's statements at this late day By
saying that he was the aristocrat the
y Royal parsonage of the bunch?
Why. if Marys genealogy was to be
given was it not run back as far a:
Joseph's?
This man Nathan knows If he has
ever read any Scripture that woman
has occupied a very little place in tho
Holy Scriptures. She is an instru
