Divine Descent.

The incongruity of the Bible with
the age of its birth; its freedom from
earthly mixtures; its original, unbor-
rowed, solitary greatness; the sudden
ness with which it broke forth amidst
the general gloom; these to me are
strong indications of its divine de-
scent; I cannot reconcile them with a
human origin.-Channing.
