"uat toe churchman can opt be, un aware that" grave arid ievereni tuen,' philosophy," r scientists.-' and histo riographers, men who, prove -every , thin i?. and- ask nothing of faith or special pleading; are: standing no In iDeir piaces anu vaiuag n a system - that proves nothing, but leaves eve rything to faith? to give new reasons .for that faith, reasons cthat shall at least -keep abreast of-the. discovery,' the research and the intellect of t bp age." owflCharchinaa"iii8thavo read his Bible .very, (cnxsoiijxther wise he would not assert that we are left to blind faith, alone,? unassisted byany . evidences ot, the truths, of Christianity f It is not ,my. purpose to enter fully into , these . evidences. It will be finfflcient, in order to show the error into' which "Churchman" has fallen, to point to only a few of the strong links In the chain' thereof Christ said to the'JewsBelieve me for tbe very f works' " sake.""' These i wo"ks were snch as no one but God himself could have wrought, t Not to speak of, qthecleatimooy, they were witnessed,' by , his,, twelve; Apostles, all of. whom, save one. sealed. their testimony with their own blood. This fact is attested. both by inspired and nniDspIred history,' ,The ; Apostle John,' who (lied a natural death, has left behind htm, a .monument' com memorative of the truths Vf Chris tiaulfy"th at;wiN vp'rtiye the ."wreck of matter and the crush of worlds. Surely there Is positive' evidence as to the truths of Christianity Again; the effects of Christianity npon mankind.areasevidentas those of the sou in mid day splendor upon the material world.' Its regenerating, transforming, influences-must have been felt by t'Churchmaa'rr himself,, and observed, by him in others-lord Be,acon's6eldwho isj himself of .Jew ish descent,', has recently .declared that it is to , the Christian religion t h at Ihe Shemitio- tri pes are indebted for the.enjoyment of much of their past and present religious liberty So; too, it is by the ligh VHof Xairis-': tianty that the scientists' and others are discharging th'eif, ' pop guns against its immutable truths'. " Here then is a ' relfgious system' attested by VmulilpHcity of divine miracles, whose truths are4' self evident, pro daeing1 upon the hearts and under BtandiDgs of meh ; effects as visible and 'well warked as those of the solar syetem- opon the material world.' ( And her we are' reminded of the beautiful figure under which the great Apostle , illustrates the, bless ings of faith and obVdiehceVand.'the curses of; unbelief: " "For the earth which drinketh in the rain that com etbr uponit,? and bringeth forth herbs' meet for them by wboni it is dressed,' receivatb?
