At a ..time when belief »n tlie*
fundamental t ruths of the Christian

sign of paleozoic senility, it is
consolation to reflect that there is
a great multitude of wise turn on
earth and in heaven who have
neither desired nor found anything
better than "the fai*th once for all
delivered to th- saints."
If there ever'vns a period when
Christians were hilariously ! mghed

dateness, it w«.s in that Iron Ace
