LAWYER QUESTIONS
ATHEIST ON BIBLE

A book about the Bible has recent
ly been published of which the author
modestly says that it express 1.-The
greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon
humanity Setting himself over a
gainsc TIE convictions of true men
and women since the world began,
and over against the proved claims
of Gods Word, this man who calls
himself a "freethinker" says: 1--WE
know that the Bible has been proved
wrong in all of it's claim to author
ity."
His circular announcing his book
was mailed to Irwin H. Linton, law
yer who has practiced before the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and
whose book, "a Lawyer and the
Bible" is one Of the masterpieces of
scientific and truly rational study of
evidence Mr.. Linton wrote long and
remarkable letter to this free thinker,
asking him a number of questions,
and added: eff the logic of your book
is as sound as the basic facts from
which you reason are true, 1 want a
copy"
Mr.. Linton asks the atheist to ex-
plain how he reaches his conclusions,
and to do so in simple, logical way.
Needless to say, the atheist has not
answered.
This searching letter from a Jaw
yer to an atheist, which will be of
particular interest to college students,
pastors, teachers, and Christian work
ers, is soon to be published in The
Sunday School Times (Philadelphia)
1t is brilliantly clear in it's reason
ing. 1t honestly comedies that some
of the statements of fact made by
the atheist are correct. But it shows,
with memorable finality, that the very
facts cited by the atheist destroy the
atheists position and prove the divine
inspiration of the Book he thinks he
can "erpose."
