THE ALLIANCE WORLD. How the Order is Growing in the Great North West. Charleston, S. C. Special. Consid erable excitement lias lecn causeb in evangelistic circles here by a sermon preached by Rabbi Levy, of the Beth clobin synagogue, to his congregation. Here is the passage in the sermon which the newspajcrs got hold of, and which has stirred up the excitement. The text of the sermon wa?, "The Rainbow.' "Men who arc without mind themselves; men who never felt the light; men who care nothing about truth, who respect none that does not wear the livery of their own faith; men who lelievc the truth Jo le shut up with faith; men who believe the truth to he shut up within the confines of their own narrow sect, who makes salvation dependent upon blind assent to the speculative ideas, those are the people to whom doubt is a sin, and who predict for you the vengeance oi heaven. Where do the infidels c6me from, if not from that class of men who were taught to take every thing in relig ion as faith? What makes the atheist, the agnostic and skeptic ? It is the church that denounces doubt and free thought. It is those denominations who present God as a vengeful, cruel tyrant. It is the religious teacher who thunders in your cars the wrath of the Almighty and the terrors of an anry hell. It seems to me that if I had not other God to look up to except to a God of hate and raalace; if I should think that ihe being who rules the world was that horrid monster who out-Herods Herod, who damns innocent babes leforc they are born, who punishes the helpless, ig norant heathen, who has created a devil 1 to torment men, and paves hell with, t lie I skulls of infants; if this was the God that I had to worihip, I should gladly turn to J tho ovwls of Greece and Rome and serve ...... - them." The rabbi is a popular preacher, rux. presides over the reformed new syna T0fnie here. He is very liberal, and has often attended services at both Catholic and evangelistic churches. Hence the com motion. The rabbi's congregation stands with him. The Michigun State Alliance Passea a Strong Series of Resolutions and Propose to Push Them. Review of October Cotton Crop.
