No 4. + + April, 1880. + + + + + +CONTENTS + + +Is There A Counterfeit Without A Genuine? +Design In Nature. +An Atheist Is A Fool. +Blunder On And Blunder On—It Is Human To Blunder. +Draper’s Conflict Between Religion And Science. +Facts Speak Louder Than Words, Or What Christianity Has Done For +Cannibals. +Are We Simply Animals? +Our Relations To The Ancient Law And Prophets—What Are They? +The Funeral Services Of The National Liberal League. +Huxley’s Paradox. +The Triumphing Reign Of Light. + + + + + + +IS THERE A COUNTERFEIT WITHOUT A GENUINE? + + +My object in this lesson is to present the myths, the ancient, fictitious +and fanciful narratives concerning the gods, in such a manner as to enable +you to see the utter absurdity of the idea that the religion of the Bible +is of mythical origin. _Myths_ are fictitious narratives, having an +analogy more or less remote to something real. From this definition you +discover that a myth is _always_ a counterfeit, and as such always appears +in evidence in favor of something more or less remote, that is true. Now, +if the Bible had a mythical origin, it sustains some analogy to something +found in the mythical or fictitious and fanciful narratives concerning the +gods, and is therefore the myth of a myth; the counterfeit of a +counterfeit. If such be the truth in the case, where do we find the origin +of the myths from which “Bible myths” have descended? Is it found in the +true God presiding over the elements of nature and the destinies of men, +as well as the events of creation and providence? Or, can it be possible +that we have many counterfeits _without a genuine_? Many myths sustaining +no analogy, either near or remote, to anything real? It is an absurdity, +destructive of the term employed, because _myths_ cease to be _myths_ +without some near or remote relation to realities. They _must_ sustain +some analogy to something real. And _counterfeits_ also cease to be +_counterfeits_ when it is shown that they sustain no relation, through +analogy or likeness, to anything that is genuine. In the mythical systems +of olden times we have, in the midst of a vast deal of false and fanciful +narrative concerning subordinate and secondary gods, evidence of a supreme +God presiding over all things; and the secondary gods performing many +things which belonged to the province of the “Almighty One,” with many +degrading, vile and corrupting habits. + +A letter written by Maximus, a Numidian, to Augustin, reads thus: “Now, +that there is a sovereign God, who is without beginning, and who, without +having begotten anything like unto Himself, is, nevertheless, the Father +and the former of all things, what man can be gross and stupid enough to +doubt? He it is of whom, under different names, we adore the eternal power +extending through every part of the world, thus honoring separately by +different sorts of worship what may be called His several members, we +adore Him entirely. May those subordinate gods preserve you under whose +names, and by whom all we mortals upon earth adore the common Father of +gods and men.” In this letter we have a clear presentation of the mythical +system concerning the ancient gods, and also the “analagous relation” to +the “Master God.” Each god having his particular dominion over place or +passion, appears before us as a representative of the supreme, or “Master +God;” and by worshiping each member or God they claimed to adore entirely +the “common Father of gods and men.” Augustin answers, In your public +square there are _two statues_ of Mars, one naked, the other armed; and +close by the figure of a man who, with three fingers advanced towards +Mars, holds in check that divinity so dangerous to the whole town. With +regard to what you say of such gods being portions of the only “true God,” +I take the liberty you gave me to warn you not to fall into such a +sacrilege; for that only God, of whom you speak, is doubtless He who is +acknowledged by the whole world, and concerning whom, as some of the +ancients have said, the ignorant agree with the learned. Now, will you say +that Mars, whose strength is represented by an inanimate man, is a portion +of that God? That is to say, the dead statue controls Mars, and Mars is a +subordinate god representing the infinite God, and is, therefore, a part +of that God. Augustin adds, Not the Pantheon and all the temples +consecrated to the inferior gods, nor even the temples consecrated to the +twelve greater gods prevented “Deus Optimus Maximus,” God most good, most +great, from being acknowledged throughout the empire. Voltaire says, “In +spite of all the follies of the people who venerated secondary and +ridiculous gods, and in spite of the Epicurians, who in reality +acknowledged none, it is verified that in all times the magistrates and +wise adored one sovereign God.” Secondary gods were _myths_, counterfeits, +sustaining the _relation_ of counterfeits. The ancients attributed their +own passions to the “Master God,” and had subordinate gods representing +passions. They also had a god for each part of His dominion; and these +gods they called members of the true God, and claimed to worship Him, by +worshiping all the members or gods. Mars was the god of war; Bacchus was +the god of drunkenness. They had a god for this and a god for that. The +ancient pagans seemed to think that infinite divisibility belonged to the +“true God,” for they distinguished between passions, and divided up the +universe among the gods until they had it crammed full of subordinate and +ridiculous gods, each one a member of Jehovah, and each member a part of +the great mythical system. + +Now, in order to establish the proposition that our religion is of +mythical origin, it is necessary to show, first, that the Bible was +written this side of or during the age of myths, and, having done this, it +is necessary to show that the Hebrew people were a mythical people; +neither of which can be accomplished. It will not be amiss to present in +this connection a statement given by Justin to the Greeks. He says: “Of +all your teachers, whether sages, poets, historians, philosophers, or +law-givers, by far the oldest, as the Greek historians show us, was +Moses.... For in the times of Ogyges and Inachus, whom some of your poets +have supposed to have been earth-born—that is, to have sprung from the +soil, and hence one of the oldest inhabitants—_the aborigines_, Moses is +mentioned as the leader and ruler of the Jewish nation.” He is mentioned +as a very ancient and time-honored prince in the Athenian, Attic and +Grecian histories. Polemon, in his first book of Hellenics, mentions Moses +as the leader and ruler of the Jewish nation. Ptolemæus, in his history of +Egypt, bears the same testimony. Apion, an Egyptian writer, in his book +against the Jews, says “Moses led them.” Dr. Shaw, a modern traveler, says +the inhabitants of Corondel, on the eastern side of the Red Sea, to this +day preserve the remembrance of the deliverance of the children of Israel +from their bondage in Egypt. Diodorus, the most renowned Greek historian, +who employed thirty years epitomizing the libraries, and traveled over +Asia and Europe for the sake of great accuracy, who wrote forty volumes of +history, says he learned from the Egyptian priests that Moses was an +ancient law-giver. + +It seems to us that, no sane man, who is acquainted with the ancient +mythicals, can regard the religion of the Bible as a child of mythical +descent. It is as deadly in its influence upon those myths, and all +mythical worship, as it could be made by an infinite mind. + +Voltaire says “the character of the mythical gods is ridiculous;” we will +add, it is ridiculous in the extreme. Listen—Hesiod, in his theogony, +says: “Chronos, the son of Ouranos, or Saturn, son of Heaven, in the +beginning slew his father, and possessed himself of his rule, and, being +seized with a panic lest he should suffer in the same way, he preferred +devouring his children, but Curetes, a subordinate god, by craft, conveyed +Jupiter away in secret and afterwards bound his brother with chains, and +divided the empire, Jupiter receiving the air, and Neptune the deep, and +Pluto Hades.” + +Pros-er-pi-ne, Mella-nip-pe, Neptune, Pluto and Jupiter are all set forth +in the mythical writings as adulterers. Jupiter was regarded as more +frequently involved in that crime, being set down as guilty in many +instances. For the love of Sem-e-le, it is said that he assumed wings and +proved his own unchastity and her jealousy. These are some of the exploits +of the sons of Saturn. Hercules was celebrated by his three nights, sung +by the poets for his successful labors. + +The son of Jupiter slew the Lion, and destroyed the many-headed Hydra; was +able to kill the fleet man-eating birds, and brought up from hades the +three-headed dog, Cerberus; effectually cleansed the Augean stable from +its refuse; killed the bulls and stag whose nostrils breathed fire; slew +the poisonous serpent and killed Ach-e-lò-us. The guest-slaying Bu-sí-ris +was delighted with being stunned by the cymbals of the Sat-yrs, and to be +conquered with the love of women; and at last, being unable to take the +cloak off of Nessus, he kindled his own funeral pile and died. Such are +specimens of the ancient myths. Their character is such as to leave an +impassible gulf between them and the character of the God revealed in our +religion. No development theory, seeking the origin of our religion in the +old mythical system, can bridge across this chasm. It is as deep and broad +as the distance between the antipodes. There is no analogy between these +counterfeits or myths and the “true God,” save that remote power of God +which is divided up and parceled out among them. Their morals were the +worst. The whole mythical system is simply one grand demonstration of +human apostacy from the “true God.” Homer introduces Zeus in love, and +bitterly complaining and bewailing himself, and plotted against by the +other gods. He represents the gods as suffering at the hands of men. Mars +and Venus were wounded by Di-o-me-de. He says, “Great Pluto’s self the +stinging arrow felt when that same son of Jupiter assailed him in the very +gates of hell, and wrought him keenest anguish. Pierced with pain, to the +high Olympus, to the courts of Jupiter groaning he came. The bitter shaft +remained deep in his shoulder fixed, and grieved his soul.” In the +mythical system the gods are not presented as creators or first causes. +Homer says, They were in the beginning generated from the waters of the +ocean, and thousands were added by deifying departed heroes and +philosophers. The thought of one supreme Intelligence, the “God of Gods,”, +runs through all the system of myths. It is found anterior to the myths, +and, therefore, could not have had its origin with them. The character +ascribed to our God, in our scriptures, has no place among the ancient +myths. They hold the “Master God” before us only in connection with power, +being altogether ignorant of His true character. They even went so far as +to attribute much to Him that was ridiculous. One of the ancients said, +“The utmost that a man can do is to attribute to the being he worships his +imperfections and impurities, magnified to infinity, it may be, and then +become worse by their reflex action upon his own nature.” This was +verified in the ancient mythical religion, without exception, and without +doubt. + +“The character of all the gods was simply human character extended in all +its powers, appetites, lusts and passions. Scholars say there is no +language containing words that express the Scriptural ideas of holiness +and abhorrence of sin, except those in which the Scriptures were given, or +into which they have been translated. These attributes must be known in +order to salvation from sin, so God revealed Himself and gave the world a +pure religion, as a standard of right and wrong, and guide in duty, and +rule of life.” + +The history of the ancient nations of the earth gives a united testimony +that their original progenitors possessed a knowledge of the one true and +living God, who was worshiped by them, and believed to be an infinite, +self-existent and invisible spirit. This notion was never entirely +extinguished even among the idolatrous worshipers. Greek and Latin poets +were great corrupters of theology, yet in the midst of all their Gods +there is still to be found, in their writings, the notion of one supreme +in power and rule, whom they confound with Jupiter. + +The age of myths began with the tenth generation after the flood. The +evidence of this is given by Plato from one of the ancient poets in these +words: “It was the generation _then the tenth_, of men endowed with +speech, since forth the flood had burst upon the men of former times, and +Kronos, Japetus and Titan reigned, whom men of Ouranos proclaimed the +noblest sons, and named them so, because of men _endowed with gift of +speech_, they were the first,” that is to say, they were orators, “and +others for their strength, as Heracles and Perseus, and others for their +art. Those to whom either the subjects gave honor, or the rulers +themselves _assuming it_, obtained the name, some from fear, others from +reverence. Thus Antinous, through the benevolence of your ancestors toward +their subjects, came to be regarded as a god. But those who came after +adopted the worship without examination.” So testifies one who was +schooled in philosophy. Do you say there are points of similitude between +the Bible religion and the mythical? It would be strange if there were +none, seeing that the mythical is truly what the term signifies, a +counterfeit upon the genuine, or Biblical. + +The points of disagreement, however, are such as to demonstrate the fact +that the ancient mythical people knew not the character of the Being, whom +they conceived to be the “God of Gods and the Father of Gods and men.” +Those who confound the Bible with the ancient myths upon the score of the +analogy that exists between it and the myths, remind me of a very learned +gentleman with whom I was once walking around an oat field, when he +remarked, “_there_ is a very fine piece of wheat.” The man had been +brought up in an eastern city, and was unable to distinguish between oats +and wheat. I knew a gentleman who asked a man, standing by the side of an +old-fashioned flax-break, what he thought it was used for? The man took +hold of the handle, lifted it up and let it down a few times, and said: +“It looks like it might be used to chop up sausage meat.” It is very +natural for us to draw comparisons, and when we do not make ourselves +familiar with things and their uses, we are very liable to be led into +error by a few points of similitude. All the infidels with whom I have +become acquainted look upon the Bible like the man looked upon the +flax-break, and like the man looked upon the oat field. If one had looked +upon the flax-break who was familiar with it, he never could have dreamed +of chopping sausage meat; and if the other had been familiar with wheat +and oats, as they present themselves to the eye in the field in the month +of June, he never would have called the oats wheat. And if any sane man +will make himself familiar with both the Bible and the old system of myths +and mythical worship, he will never confound the two. There are a thousand +things, very different in character and origin, which have points of +similitude. But similitude never proves identity short of completeness. +While the analogy between the ancient mythical system of gods and their +worship and the true God and His worship is restricted to power and +intelligence, there exists a contrast between them deep as heaven is high +and broad as the earth in point of moral character, virtue, and every +ennobling and lovable attribute. + +There is an old myth in the Vedas—a god called “Chrishna.” The Vedas claim +that he is in the form of a man; that he is black; that he is dressed in +flowers and ribbons; that he is the father of a great many gods. It is +surprising to see the eagerness with which some men bring up “Chrishna” in +comparison with the Greek term “Christos”—Christ, and confound the two. +The words are entirely different, save in a jingle of sound. They are no +more alike than the terms _catechist_—one who instructs by questions and +answers, and the term catechu—a dry, brown astringent extract. We could +give many such examples in the history of unbelievers and their war upon +the Bible, but this must suffice for the present. The truth is this: such +men, as a general rule, neither understand the Bible in its teachings and +character, nor the ancient mythical system. In it Jupiter, among the +Romans, and throughout every language, appears before us as the “Father of +Gods and men”—“the God of gods,” the “Master of the gods.” Voltaire says: +It is false that Cicero, or any other Roman, ever said that it did not +become the majesty of the empire to acknowledge a Supreme God. Their +Jupiter, the Zeus of the Greeks and the Jehovah of the Phonecians, was +always considered as the master of the secondary gods. He adds: But is not +Jupiter, the master of all the gods, a word belonging to every nation, +from the Euphrates to the Tiber? Among the first Romans it was _Jov_, +_Jovis_; among the Greeks, _Zeus_; among the Phonecians and Syrians and +Egyptians, _Jehovah_. The last term is the Hebrew scriptural name of +God—denoting _permanent being_—in perfect keeping with the Bible title or +descriptive appellation, “I AM THAT I AM.” + +The ancient worshipers of the gods had lost all but the name, _power_ and +relation, which they ever knew of Jehovah. And they could do no more than +clothe Jupiter with their own imperfections and impurities—and then place +him above all the gods; it was necessary for them to view him as excelling +in all the characteristics of the secondary gods. And having attributed to +the gods all they knew of human passions and corruptions, they clothed +Jupiter himself with more villainy and corruption than belonged to any +other god. In this was the great blasphemous sacrilege of ancient +idolatry. They thus demonstrated their own apostacy; and the fact that +their system of gods was a counterfeit, a mythical system. They were +destitute of any standard of right and wrong, having no conceptions of the +divine character which were not drawn from their own imperfect and corrupt +lives. The divine character, as revealed in the revelation of Christ, and +presented to us as God manifest in the flesh, is at once the very opposite +of the characters given in the myths. The distance between the two is the +distance between the lowest degradation of God-like power exercised in the +lowest passions, and the sublimity of Heaven’s own spotless life. I love +the religion of the Scriptures, because it restores to the race the lost +knowledge of God and the additional life of Jesus—the only perfect model +known in the history of the race. It is the life of God manifested in the +flesh; make it _your own_, and it will save you. Mr. English, an American +infidel, said: “Far be it from me to reproach the meek and compassionate, +the amiable Jesus, or to attribute to him the mischiefs occasioned by his +followers.” + +It is now conceded that Jesus Christ was _no myth_ by all the great minds +in unbelief. He lived. We love his life, because all who would rob Him of +His authority are compelled to speak well of it. Rousseau, another +infidel, says: “It is impossible that he whose history the gospel records +can be but a man,” adding, “Does he speak in the tone of an enthusiast, or +of an ambitious sectary? What mildness! What purity in his manners! What +touching favor in his instructions! What elevation in his maxims! What +presence of mind! What ingenuity, and what justice in his answers! What +government of his passions! What prejudice, blindness or ill faith must +that be which dares to compare Socrates with the Son of Mary! + +“What a difference between the two! Socrates, dying without a pain, +without disgrace, easily sustains his part to the last. The death of +Socrates, philosophizing with his friends, is the mildest that could be +desired. That of Jesus, expiring in torments, injured, mocked, cursed by +all the people, is the most horrible that can be feared. Socrates, taking +the impoisoned cup, blesses him who presents it to him with tears. Jesus, +in the midst of a frightful punishment, prays for his enraged +executioners. Yes, if the life and death of Socrates are those of a wise +man, the life and death of Jesus are those of a God.” If such be the +model, the pattern, the example which I am to follow, let me live and die +a Christian. I love the religion of Christ, because its character compels +its enemies to speak thus of it. I love it because of its practical +influence in elevating all into the moral image of Christ. I love it +because it saves men through its influence from abominable sins and +consequent sorrows that would tear up the hearts of thousands. I love it +because it is the power of God to save the soul. I love it because it +leads men into communion and fellowship with all the good. I love it +because it leads to heaven and to God. + + + + + +Civilization, it is true, is an arbitrary term. Anthropologists have not +yet settled the boundary line between a savage and a civilized +people.—_Prof. Owen, F. R. S._ + + + + + +DESIGN IN NATURE. + + +It is scarcely necessary to designate instances in the works of nature, in +which there is an appearance of purpose, for everything has this +appearance. I will, however, mention several cases as samples. + +1. The adaptation of the covering of animals to the climates in which they +live. Northern animals have thicker and warmer coats of fur or hair than +Southern ones. And here it should be remarked that man, the only creature +capable of clothing himself, is the only one that is not clothed by +nature. Singular discrimination and care indeed for non-intelligence! + +2. The adaptation of animals to the elements in which they live, the fish +to the water, other animals to the air. Would not an unintelligent energy +or power be as likely to form the organs of a fish for air as for water? + +3. The necessity which man has for sustenance, and the supply of that +necessity by nature. + +Here let it be noted how many things must act in unison to produce the +necessary result. The earth must nourish the seed, the sun must warm it, +the rain must moisten it, and man must have the strength to cultivate it, +and the organs to eat it, and the stomach to digest it, and the +blood-vessels to circulate it, and so on. Is it credible that all these +things should _happen_ without design? + +4. The pre-adaptation of the infant to the state of things into which it +enters at birth. The eye is exactly suited to the light, the ear to sound, +the nose to smell, the palate to taste, the lungs to the air. How is it +possible to see no design in this pre-adaptation, so curious, so +complicated in so many particulars? + +5. The milk of animals suitable for the nourishment of their young, +provided just in season, provided without contrivance on the part of the +parent, and sought for without instruction or experience on the part of +its offspring! _and all by chance!!_ + +6. The different sexes. In this case, as in the rest, there is perfect +adaptation, which displays evident design. And there is more. What, I ask, +is there _in nature_ to cause a difference in sexes? Why are not all +either males or females? or, rather, a compound? This case, then, I +consider not only an evidence of design, but likewise an evidence of the +special and continued _volition_ of the Creator. + +7. The destitution of horns on the calf and of teeth in the suckling. All +other parts are perfect at the very first; but were calves and sucklings +to have teeth and horns, what sore annoyances would these appendages prove +to their dams and dames. How is it that all the necessary parts of the +young are thus perfect at the first, and their annoying parts unformed +till circumstances render them no annoyance—unformed at the time they are +not needed, and produced when they are, for defense and mastication? Who +can fail to see intelligence here? + +8. The teats of animals. These bear a general proportion to the number of +young which they are wont to have at a time. Those that are wont to have +few young have few teats; those that have many young have many teats. Were +these animals to make preparations themselves in this respect, how could +things be more appropriate? + +9. The pea and the bean. The pea-vine, unable to stand erect of itself, +has tendrils with which to cling to a supporter; but the bean-stalk, +self-sustained, has nothing of the kind. + +10. The pumpkin. This does not grow on the oak; to fall on the tender head +of the wiseacre reposing in its shade, _reasoning_ that it should grow +there rather than where it does, because, forsooth, the oak would be able +to sustain it. And were he to undertake to set the other works of +Providence to rights which he now considers wrong, ’tis a chance if he +would not get many a thump upon his pate ere he should get the universe +arranged to his mind. And if, before completing his undertaking, he should +not find it the easier of the two to arrange his mind to the universe, it +would be because _what __ little_ brains he _has_ would get thumped out of +his cranium altogether! + +11. The great energies of nature. To suppose the existence of _powers_ as +the cause of the operations of nature—powers destitute of life, and, at +the same time, self-moving, and acting upon matter without the +intervention of extrinsic agency, is just as irrational as to suppose such +a power in a machine, and is a gross absurdity and a self-contradiction. +But to suppose that these lifeless energies, even if possessed of such +qualities, could, void of intelligence, produce _such_ effects as _are_ +produced in the universe, requires credulity capable of believing +anything. + +12. The whole universe, whether considered in its elementary or its +organized state. From the simple grass to the tender plant, and onward to +the sturdy oak; from the least insect up to man, there is skill the most +consummate, design the most clear. What substance, useless as it may be +when uncompounded with other substances, does not manifest design in its +affinity to those substances, by a union with which it is rendered useful? +What plant, what shrub, what tree has not organization and arrangement the +most perfect imaginable? What insect so minute that contains not, within +its almost invisible exterior, adjustment of part to part in the most +exact order throughout all its complicated system, infinitely transcending +the most ingenious productions of art, and the most appropriate adaptation +of all those parts to its peculiar mode of existence? Rising in the scale +of sensitive being, let us consider the beast of the forest, in whose +case, without microscopic aid, we have the subject more accessible. Is he +a beast of prey? Has the God of nature given him an instinctive thirst for +blood? Behold, then, his sharp-sighted organs of vision for descrying his +victim afar, his agile limbs for pursuit, his curved and pointed claws for +seizing and tearing his prey, his sharp-edged teeth for cutting through +its flesh, his firm jaws for gripping, crushing, and devouring it, and his +intestines for digesting raw flesh. But is he a graminivorous animal? Does +he subsist on grass and herb? Behold, then, his clumsy limbs and his +clawless hoofs, his blunt teeth and his herb-digesting stomach. So perfect +is the correspondence between one part and another; so exactly adapted are +all the parts to the same general objects; so wonderful is the harmony and +so definite and invariable the purpose obtaining throughout the whole, +that it is necessary to see but a footstep, or even a bone, to be able to +decide the nature and construction of the animal that imprinted that +footstep or that possessed that bone. Ascending still higher in the scale, +we come at last to man—man, the highest, noblest workmanship of God on +earth—the lord of this sphere terrene—for whose behoof all earthly things +exist. In common with all animals, he has that perfect adaptation of part +to part, and of all the parts to general objects, which demonstrate +consummate wisdom in the Cause which thus adapted them. His eyes are so +placed as to look the same way in which his feet are placed to walk, and +his hands to toil. His feet correspond with each other, being both placed +to walk in the direction, and with their corresponding sides towards one +another, without which he would hobble, even if he could walk at all. His +mouth is placed in the forepart of the head, by which it can receive food +and drink from the hands. + +But the hands themselves—who can but admire their wonderful utility? To +what purpose are they not adapted? Man, who has many ends to accomplish, +in common with the beast of the field; who has hunger to alleviate, thirst +to slake, and has likewise other and higher ends, for the attainment of +which he is peculiarly qualified by means of _hands_. Adapted by his +constitution to inhabit all climes, he has hands to adapt his clothing to +the same, whether torrid, temperate or frigid. Possessed of the knowledge +of the utility of the soil, he has hands to cultivate it. Located far +distant oftentimes from the running stream, these hands enable him to +disembowel the earth and there find an abundant supply of the +all-necessary fluid. Endowed with rational ideas, pen in _hand_ he can +transmit them to his fellows far away, or to generations unborn. Heir and +lord of earth and ocean, his hands enable him to possess and control the +same, without which, notwithstanding all his reason, he could do neither, +but would have to crouch beneath the superior strength of the brute, and +fly for shelter to crags inaccessible to his beastly sovereign. + +The only creature that has the reason to manage the world, has the +physical organization to do it. No _beast_ with man’s reason could do +this, and no _man_ with the mere instinct of a brute could do it. How +marvellous, then this adaptation! How wondrous the adaptation of +everything, and how astonishing that any man, with all these things in +view, can for one moment forbear to admit a God. Let him try _a chance +experiment_. Let him take the letters of the alphabet and throw them about +promiscuously and then see how long ere they would move of their own +accord and arrange themselves into words and sentences. He may avail +himself of the whole benefit of his scheme; he may have the advantage of +an energy or power as a momentum to set them in motion; he may put these +letters into a box sufficiently large for the purpose, and then shake them +as long as may seem him good, and when, in this way, they shall have +become intelligible language, I will admit that he will have some reasons +for doubting a God. If this should seem too much like _artificial_ mind, +he may take some little animal, all constructed at his hands, and +dismember its limbs and dissect its body, and then within some vessel let +him throw its various parts at random, and seizing that vessel shake it +most lustily till bone shall come to bone, joint to joint, and the little +creature be restored to its original form. But if this could not be +accomplished by mere power, without wisdom to direct, how could the +original adjustment occur by chance? How could those very parts themselves +be _formed for_ adjustment one to another? + +Mathematicians tell us wondrous things in relation to these hap-hazard +concerns. And they demonstrate their statements by what will not +lie—figures. Their rule is this: that, as one thing admits of but one +position, as, for example, _a_, so two things, _a_ and _b_, are capable of +two positions, as _ab_, _ba_. But if a third be added, instead of their +being susceptible of only one additional position, or three in all, they +are capable of six. For example, _abc_, _acb_, _bac_, _bca_, _cab_, _cba_. +Add another letter, _d_, and the four are capable of twenty-four positions +or variations. Thus we might go on. Merely adding another letter, _e_, and +so making _five_ instead of four, would increase the the number of +variations _five_-fold. They would then amount to one hundred and twenty. +A single additional letter, _f_, making _six_ in all, would increase this +last sum of one hundred and twenty _six_-fold, making seven hundred and +twenty. Add a _seventh_ letter, _g_, and the last-named sum would be +increased _seven_-fold, making the sum of five thousand and forty. If we +go on thus to the end of the alphabet, we have the astonishing sum of six +hundred and twenty thousand four hundred and forty-eight trillions, four +hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty-three billions, two +hundred and thirty-nine thousand four hundred and thirty-nine millions and +three hundred and sixty thousand!!! Hence it follows that, were the +letters of the alphabet to be thrown promiscuously into a vessel, to be +afterwards shaken into order by mere hap, their chance of being arranged, +not to say into words and sentences, but into their alphabetical order, +would be only as _one_ to the above number. All this, too, in the case of +only twenty-six letters! Take now the human frame, with its bones, +tendons, nerves, muscles, veins, arteries, ducts, glands, cartilages, +etc.; and having dissected the same, throw those parts into one +promiscuous mass; and how long, I ask, would it be ere Chance would put +them all into their appropriate places and form a perfect man? In this +calculation we are likewise to take into the account the chances of their +being placed bottom upwards, or side-ways, or wrong side out, +notwithstanding they might merely find their appropriate places. This +would increase the chances against a well-formed system to an amount +beyond all calculation or conception. In the case of the alphabet, the +chances for the letters to fall bottom up or aslant are not included. And +when we reflect that the blind goddess, or “unintelligent forces,” would +have to contend against such fearful odds in the case of a single +individual, how long are we to suppose it would be, ere from old Chaos she +could shake this mighty universe, with all its myriads upon myriads of +existences, into the glorious order and beauty in which it now exists. + + + + + +AN ATHEIST IS A FOOL. + + +He can’t believe that two letters can be adjusted to each other without +design, and yet he can believe all the foregoing incredibilities. + +I might swell the list to a vast extent. I might bring into view the +verdure of the earth as being the most agreeable of all colors to the eye; +the general diffusion of the indispensibles and necessaries of life, such +as air, light, water, food, clothing, fuel, while less necessary things, +such as spices, gold, silver, tin, lead, zinc, are less diffused; also, +the infinite variety in things—in men, for instance—by which we can +distinguish one from another. But I forbear. Is it reasonable to conclude +that, where there are possible appearances of design, still no design is +there? or even that it is probable there is none? + +I have said that there is as much evidence of purpose in the works of +nature as in those of art. I now say that there is more, _infinitely_ +more. Should the wheels of nature stop their revolutions, and her energies +be palsied, and life and motion cease, even then would she exhibit +incomparably greater evidence of design, in her mere construction and +adaptation, than do the works of art. Shall we then be told that when she +is in full operation, and daily producing millions upon millions of +useful, of intelligent, of marvelous effects, she still manifests no marks +of intelligence! In nature we not only see all the works of art infinitely +exceeded, but we see, as it were, those works self-moved and performing +their operations without external agency. To use a faint comparison, we +see a factory in motion without water, wind or steam, its cotton placing +itself within the reach of the picker, the cards, the spinning-frame and +the loom, and turning out in rolls or cloth. Such virtually, nay, far more +wonderful, is the universe. Not a thousandth part so unreasonable would it +be to believe a real factory of this description, were one to exist, to be +a chance existence, as to believe this universe so. Sooner could I suppose +nature herself possessed of intelligence than admit the idea that there is +_no_ intelligence concerned in her organization and operations. There must +be a mind within or without her, or else we have no data by which to +distinguish mind. There must be a mind, or all the results of mind are +produced without any. There must be a mind, or chaos produces order, blind +power perfects effects, and non-intelligence the most admirable +correspondence and harmony imaginable. Skeptics pride themselves much on +their reason. They can’t believe, they say, because it is unreasonable. +_What_ is unreasonable? To believe in a mind where there is every +appearance thereof that can be? Is it more reasonable to believe, then, +that every appearance of mind is produced without any mind at all? +Skeptics are the last men in all this wide world to pretend reason. They +doubt against infinite odds; they believe without evidence against +evidence, against demonstration, and then talk of reason!—_Origin +Bachelor’s Correspondence with R. D. Owen._ + + + + + +BLUNDER ON AND BLUNDER ON—IT IS HUMAN TO BLUNDER. + + +Are all the mammoths one or two hundred thousand years old, as Sir Charles +Lyell conjectured? It was stated, in the bygone, that the “diluvium” was +very old, on account of the absence of human remains, but since man’s +remains have been found there, it is inferred that man is very ancient; +whereas, the truth is, the mammoth is _very recent_. In many instances +their bones are so fresh that they contain twenty-seven per cent. of +animal substance; in some instances the flesh is still upon their bones, +with their last meal in their stomachs. + +Mr. Boyd Dawkins has furnished us with a thrilling narrative of the +discovery of a mammoth in 1846, by Mr. Benkendorf, close to the mouth of +the Indigirka. This mammoth was disentombed during the great thaw of the +summer. The description is given in the following language: “In 1846 there +was unusually warm weather in the north of Siberia. Already in May unusual +rains poured over the moors and bogs; storms shook the earth, and the +streams carried not only ice to the sea, but also large tracts of land. We +steamed on the first day up the Indigirka, but there were no thoughts of +land; we saw around us only a sea of dirty brown water, and knew the river +only by the rushing and roaring of the stream. The river rolled against us +trees, moss, and large masses of peat, so that it was only with great +trouble and danger that we could proceed. At the end of the second day we +were only a short distance up the stream; some one had to stand with the +sounding-rod in hand continually, and the boat received so many shocks +that it shuddered to the keel. A wooden vessel would have been smashed. +Around us we saw nothing but the flooded land.... The Indigirka, here, had +torn up the land and worn itself a fresh channel, and when the waters sank +we saw, to our astonishment, that the old river-bed had become merely that +of an insignificant stream.... The stream rolled over and tore up the +soft, wet ground like chaff, so that it was dangerous to go near the +brink. While we were all quiet, we heard under our feet a sudden gurgling +and stirring, which betrayed the working of the disturbed water. Suddenly +our jagger, ever on the look-out, called loudly, and pointed to a singular +and unshapely object, which rose and sank.... Now we all hastened to the +spot on shore, had the boat drawn near, and waited until the mysterious +thing should again show itself. Our patience was tried, but at last a +black, horrible giant-like mass was thrust out of the water, and we beheld +a colossal elephant’s head, armed with mighty tusks, with its long trunk +moving in the water in an unearthly manner, as though seeking for +something lost therein.... I beheld the monster hardly twelve feet from +me, with his half-open eyes yet showing the whites. It was still in good +preservation.... + +“Picture to yourself an elephant with a body covered with thick fur, about +thirteen feet in height and fifteen in length, with tusks eight feet long, +thick, and curving outward at their ends, a stout trunk of six feet in +length, colossal limbs of one and a half feet in thickness, and a tail +naked up to the end, which was covered with thick tufty hair. The animal +was fat and well grown; death had overtaken him in the fulness of his +powers. His parchment-like, large, naked ears lay turned up over the head; +about the shoulders and on the back he had stiff hair, about a foot in +length, like a mane. The long outer hair was deep brown and coarsely +rooted. The top of the head looked so wild and so penetrated with pitch +that it resembled the rind of an old oak tree. On the sides it was +cleaner, and under the outer hair there appeared everywhere a wool, very +soft, warm and thick, and of a fallow-brown color. The giant was well +protected against the cold. The whole appearance of the animal was +fearfully strange and wild. It had not the shape of our present elephants. +As compared with our Indian elephants, its head was rough, the brain-case +low and narrow, but the trunk and mouth were much larger. The teeth were +very powerful. Our elephant is an awkward animal, but compared with this +mammoth, it is an Arabian steed to a coarse, ugly dray horse. I had the +stomach separated and brought on one side. It was well filled, and the +contents instructive and well preserved. The principal were young shoots +of the fir and pine; a quantity of young fir cones, also in a chewed +state, were mixed with the moss.” + +Mammoth bones are found in great abundance in the islands off the northern +coast of Siberia. The remains of the rhinoceros are also found. Pallas, in +1772, obtained from Wiljuiskoi, in latitude 64°, a rhinoceros taken from +the sand in which it had been frozen. This carcass emitted an odor like +putrid flesh, part of the skin being covered with short, crisp wool and +with black and gray hairs. Professor Brandt, in 1846, extracted from the +cavities in the molar teeth of this skeleton a small quantity of +half-chewed pine leaves and coniferous wood. And the blood-vessels in the +interior of the head appeared filled, even to the capillary vessels, with +coagulated blood, which in many places still retained its original red +color. + +We find that Mr. Boyd Dawkins and Mr. Sanford assert that the cave-lion is +only a large variety of the existing lion—identical in species. Herodotus +says: “The camels in the army of Xerxes, near the mountains of Thessaly, +_were attacked by lions_.” + +Sir John Lubbock, in his Prehistoric Times, page 293, says the cave-hyena +“is now regarded as scarcely distinguishable specifically from the _Hyæna +crocuta_, or spotted hyena of Southern Africa,” while Mr. Busk and M. +Gervais identify the _cave-bear_ with the _Ursus ferox_, or grizzly bear +of North America. What is the bearing of these facts on the question of +the antiquity of the remains found in the bone caverns? + +Do these facts justify men in carrying human remains, found along with the +remains of these animals in the caves, back to the remote period of one or +two hundred thousand years?—a long time, this, for flesh upon the bones +and food in the stomach to remain in a state of preservation. + +“So fresh is the ivory throughout Northern Russia,” says Lyell, +_Principles, vol. 1, p. 183_, “that, according to Tilesius, thousands of +fossil tusks have been collected and used in turning.” + +Mr. Dawkins says: “We are compelled to hold that the cave-lion which +preyed upon the mammoth, the woolly rhinoceros and musk-sheep in Great +Britain, is a mere geographical variety of the great carnivore that is +found alike in the tropical parts of Asia and throughout the whole of +Africa.” Popular Science Review for 1869, p. 153. It has been customary to +speak of all these animals as “_the great extinct_ mammalia,” and to +regard them all as much larger than existing animals of the same kind, but +three of the most important still exist, and the cave-lions, at least some +of the specimens, were smaller than the lion of the present. According to +Sir John Lubbock the “Irish elk, the elephants and the three species of +rhinoceros are, perhaps, the only ones which are absolutely extinct.” +Prehistoric Times, p. 290. “Out of seventeen principal ‘palæolithic’ +mammalia, ten, until recently, were regarded ‘extinct;’ but it is now +believed that the above-mentioned elk, elephants and rhinoceros are the +only extinct mammalia. Dr. Wilson affirms that skeletons of the Irish elk +have been found at Curragh, Ireland, in marshes, some of the bones of +which were in such fresh condition that the marrow is described as having +the appearance of fresh suet, and burning with a clear flame.” + +Professor Agassiz admits the continuance of the Irish elk to the +fourteenth century to be “probable.” It is certain that this elk continued +in Ireland down to what is claimed as the age of iron, and possibly in +Germany down to the twelfth century. It is also certain that it was a +companion of the mammoth and of the woolly rhinoceros. The aurochs, or +European bison, whose remains are found in the river gravel and the older +bone caves, is mentioned by Pliny and Seneca. They speak of it as existing +in their time; it is also named in the Niebelungen Lied. It existed in +Prussia as late as 1775, and is still found wild in the Caucasus. The +present Emperor of Russia has twelve herds, which are protected in the +forests of Lithuania. During the session of the International +Archæological Congress at Stockholm, in 1874, the members of the body made +an excursion to the isle of Bjorko, in Lake Malar, near Stockholm, where +there is an ancient cemetery of two thousand tumuli. Within a few hundred +yards from this is the site of the ancient town. Several trenches were run +through this locality, and many relics obtained by the members of the +congress. On the occasion Dr. Stolpe, who was familiar with the previous +discoveries at this point, delivered a lecture on the island and its +remains. They all, he stated, belong to the second age of iron in Sweden, +and consisted of implements of iron, ornaments of bronze, and animal +bones; Kufic coins have been found, along with cowrie-shells, and silver +bracelets. The number of animal bones met with is immense, more than fifty +species being represented, and what is especially noteworthy, _the marrow +bones were all crushed or split_, just as in the palæeolithic times. The +principal wild beasts were the lynx, the wolf, the fox, the beaver, the +elk, the _reindeer_, etc. Dr. Stolpe refers the formation of this +“pre-historic” city to “about the middle of the eighth century after +Christ,” and says it was probably destroyed “about the middle of the +eleventh century.” + +“During this period the reindeer existed in this part of Sweden.” + +Recent scientific discovery demands that we should almost modernize the +animals we used to regard as belonging to a period of a hundred thousand +years ago. + +“Scientists have been addicted to unwise and inconsiderate haste in the +announcement of new theories touching alleged facts; they have blundered +repeatedly in their efforts to confound the Christian and set aside Moses. +No less than eighty theories touching that many facts and discoveries have +been developed during the period of fifty years, that were brought before +the Institute of France in 1806, and not one of them survives to-day.” +Truly the history of scientific investigation reveals the same fallibility +of human nature that is known in the many errors found in the line of +theological investigation. Truth, in science and religion, stands true to +her God—_man alone deviates_. + + + + + +DRAPER’S CONFLICT BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE. + + +No one idea has produced a greater sensation among skeptics and +unbelievers than the idea of a conflict between science and Christianity. +The history of the affair reminds us of the ghost stories that frighten +people in their boyish days. There was, in truth, no foundation for the +sensation. Mr. Draper never intended that his work entitled “Conflict +between Religion and Science,” should be construed to mean Conflict +between the Bible and Science, or between Christianity, as set forth by +the primitive Christians and science, but conflict between apostate +religion and science; or, rather, between corruptors of the ancient +religion and science. + +He says, “I have had little to say respecting the two great Christian +confessions, the protestant and the Greek churches. As to the latter, it +has never, since the restoration of science, arrayed itself in opposition +to the advancement of knowledge. On the contrary, it has always met it +with welcome. It has observed a reverential attitude to truth, from +whatever quarter it might come. Recognizing the apparent discrepancies +between its interpretations of revealed truth and the discoveries of +science, it has always expected that satisfactory explanations and +reconciliations would ensue, _and in this it has not been disappointed_.” +Will all who read these lines take notice that Mr. Draper takes the +Christian’s side in the above statement. “_In this it has not been +disappointed._” In what? Answer—Its expectation that satisfactory +explanations and reconciliations would follow the discoveries of science, +by means of which apparent discrepancies between the church’s +interpretations of revealed truth and the discoveries of science would +disappear. Mr. Draper adds, “It would have been well for modern +civilization if the Roman church had done the same.” He guards his readers +by the following: “In speaking of Christianity, reference is generally +made to the Roman church, partly because its adherents compose the +majority of Christendom, partly because its demands are the most +pretentious, and partly because it has commonly sought to enforce those +demands by the civil power. None of the protestant churches have ever +occupied a position so imperious, none have ever had such widespread +political influence. For the most part they have been averse to +constraint, and except in very few instances their opposition has not +passed beyond the exciting of theological odium.” Preface, pp. 10, 11. + +On pages 215 and 216, speaking upon the great question of the proper +relations of Christianity and science, Mr. Draper says: “In the annals of +Christianity the most ill-omened day is that in which she separated +herself from science. She compelled Origen, at that time (A. D. 231) its +chief representative and supporter in the church, to abandon his charge in +Alexandria and retire to Cæsarea. In vain through many subsequent +centuries did her leading men spend themselves in, as the phrase then +went, ‘drawing forth the internal juice and marrow of the scriptures for +the explaining of things.’ Universal history from the _third_ to the +_sixteenth_ century shows with what result. The dark ages owe their +darkness to this fatal policy.” + +The pure Christianity, as well as Christians of 231 years, are exonerated +by Mr. Draper. Unbeliever, will you remember this? Many unbelievers, like +drowning men catching at straws, have endeavored to make it appear that +Mr. Draper’s book, entitled “Conflict Between Religion and Science,” makes +a square fight between the Bible and science. So far is this from the +truth that, on the contrary, it does not even set up a square issue +between Protestantism and science; its issue lies between Roman Catholic +religion and science. Hear him: “Then has it, _in truth_, come to this, +that Roman Christianity and science are recognized by their respective +adherents as being absolutely incompatible; they can not exist together; +one must yield to the other; mankind must make its choice—it can not have +both. While such is, perhaps, the issue as regards Catholicism, a +reconciliation of the reformation with science is not only possible, but +would easily take place if the protestant churches would only live up to +their maxim taught by Luther and established by so many years of war. That +maxim is the right of private interpretation of the scriptures. It was the +foundation of intellectual liberty.” (Did Luther say the foundation of +intellectual liberty?) But if a personal interpretation of the book of +Revelation is permissible, how can it be denied in the case of the book of +nature? In the misunderstandings that have taken place, we must ever bear +in mind the infirmities of men. The generations that immediately followed +the reformation may perhaps be excused for not comprehending the full +significance of cardinal principle, and for not on all occasions carrying +it into effect. When Calvin caused Servetus to be burnt he was animated, +not by the principles of the reformation, but by those of Catholicism, +from which he had not been able to emancipate himself completely. And when +the clergy of influential protestant confessions have stigmatized the +investigators of nature as infidels and atheists, the same may be said. +(No man should be called by a name that does not truthfully represent +him.) Now listen to Mr. Draper: “For Catholicism to reconcile itself to +science, there are formidable, perhaps insuperable obstacles in the way. +For protestantism to achieve that great result there are not.”—_Conflict +Between Religion and Science_, pp. 363, 364. Thus Draper speaks for +himself. + + + + + +FACTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, OR WHAT CHRISTIANITY HAS DONE FOR +CANNIBALS. + + +The Fijians, a quarter of a century ago, were noted for cannibalism. The +following scrap of history may be of importance as a shadow to contrast +with the sunshine. It is taken from Wood’s History of the Uncivilized +Races: + +The Fijians are more devoted to cannibalism than the New Zealanders, and +their records are still more appalling. A New Zealander has sometimes the +grace to feel ashamed of mentioning the subject in the hearing of an +European, whereas it is impossible to make a Fijian really feel that in +eating human flesh he has committed an unworthy act. He sees, indeed, that +the white man exhibits great disgust at cannibalism, but in his heart he +despises him for wasting such luxurious food as human flesh.... The +natives are clever enough at concealing the existence of cannibalism when +they find that it shocks the white men. An European cotton grower, who had +tried unsuccessfully to introduce the culture of cotton into Fiji, found, +after a tolerable long residence, that four or five human beings were +killed and eaten weekly. There was plenty of food in the place, pigs were +numerous, and fish, fruit and vegetables abundant. But the people ate +human bodies as often as they could get them, not from any superstitious +motive, but simply because they preferred human flesh to pork.... Many of +the people actually take a pride in the number of human bodies which they +have eaten. One chief was looked upon with great respect on account of his +feats of cannibalism, and the people gave him a title of honor. They +called him the Turtle-pond, comparing his insatiable stomach to the pond +in which turtles are kept; and so proud were they of his deeds, that they +even gave a name of honor to the bodies brought for his consumption, +calling them the “Contents of the Turtle-pond.” ... One man gained a great +name among his people by an act of peculiar atrocity. He told his wife to +build an oven, to fetch firewood for heating it, and to prepare a bamboo +knife. As soon as she had concluded her labors her husband killed her, and +baked her in the oven which her own hands had prepared, and afterward ate +her. Sometimes a man has been known to take a victim, bind him hand and +foot, cut slices from his arms and legs, and eat them before his eyes. +Indeed, the Fijians are so inordinately vain that they will do anything, +no matter how horrible, in order to gain a name among their people; and +Dr. Pritchard, who knows them thoroughly, expresses his wonder that some +chief did not eat slices from his own limbs. + +“Cannibalism is ingrained in the very nature of the Fijian, and extends +through all classes of society. It is true that there are some persons who +have never eaten human flesh, but there is always a reason for it. Women, +for example, are seldom known to eat ‘bakolo,’ as human flesh is termed, +and there are a few men who have refrained from cannibalism through +superstition. Every Fijian has his special god, who is supposed to have +his residence in some animal. One god, for example, lives in a rat, +another in a shark, and so on. The worshiper of that god never eats the +animal in which his divinity resides, and as some gods are supposed to +reside in human beings, their worshipers never eat the flesh of man.” + +Recent History Of The Same People In Brief. + +“In the Fiji islands, where half a century ago the favorite dish of food +was human flesh, there are at present eight hundred and forty-one chapels, +and two hundred and ninety-one other places where preaching is held, with +fifty-eight missionaries busily engaged in preparing the way for others. +The membership numbers twenty-three thousand two hundred and seventy-four +persons.” _The Evangelist of January 29, 1880._ It is possible that some +infidel might have been literally eaten up had it not been for the +influence of the Bible. “According to the accounts of some of the older +chiefs, whom we may believe or not as we like, there was once a time when +cannibalism did not exist. Many years ago some strangers from a distant +land were blown upon the shores of Fiji, and received hospitably by the +islanders, who incorporated them into their own tribes, and made much of +them. But, in process of time, these people became too powerful, killed +the Fijian chiefs, took their wives and property, and usurped their +office.” + +In the emergency the people consulted the priests, who said that the +Fijians had brought their misfortunes upon themselves. They had allowed +strangers to live, whereas “Fiji for the Fijians” was the golden rule, and +from that time every male stranger was to be killed and eaten, and every +woman taken as a wife. The only people free from this law were the +Tongans. + +The state of the Fijians is wonderfully changed—even an American infidel +may now visit those people without being flayed and roasted and devoured. + +“The Samoan islands have been entirely christianized. Out of a population +of forty thousand, thirty-five thousand are connected with Christian +churches. + +“In 1830 the native Christians in India, Burmah, and North and South +Ceylon numbered 57,000. Last October there were 460,000. Facts similar in +character might be given of Madagascar, South Africa and Japan.” +_Evangelist._ What a curse (?) the Bible is to the poor heathen. It robs +them of their “long-pig,” human flesh, as well as their cruel, murderous +habits, and curses them (?) with virtue and the hope of “HEAVEN.” + + + + + +ARE WE SIMPLY ANIMALS? + + +What is man? The materialist says, “He is the highest order of the animal +kingdom, or an animal gifted with intelligence.” If such be true, it may +be said with equal propriety, that animals are men without reason. Are +they? Does manhood consist in mere physical form? Can you find it in +simple physical nature? Man holds many things in his physical nature in +common with the animal; but is he, on this account, to be considered as a +mere animal? There are plants that seem to form a bridge over the chasm +lying between the vegetable and animal kingdoms. Are those plants animals +without sensation? Why not? What is the logical and scientific difference +between saying plants, which make the nearest approach to the animal are +animals without sensation, and saying animals are men without +intelligence? Let it be understood at all times, that if man is simply an +animal endowed with the gift of reason, an animal may be simply a +vegetable endowed with the gift of sensation. “The bodies of mere animals +are clothed with scales, feathers, fur, wool or bristles, which interpose +between the skin and the elements that surround and affect the living +animal.” All these insensible protectors “ally animals more closely to the +nature of vegetables.” + +“The body of a human being has a beautiful, thin, highly sensitive skin, +which is not covered with an insensitive, lifeless veil.” Man’s body is in +noble contrast with all mere animals. It is so formed that its natural +position is erect. “The eyes are in front; the ligaments of the neck are +not capable of supporting, for any considerable length of time, the head +when hanging down; the horizontal position would force the blood to the +head so violently that stupor would be the result. The mouth serves the +mind as well as the body itself. According to the most critical +calculation, the muscles of the mouth are so movable that it may pronounce +fifteen hundred letters.” What a wonderful musical instrument. + +The mouth of the mere animal serves only physical purposes. + +Man turns his head from right to left, from earth to sky, from the slimy +trail of the crustacean in the ocean’s bottom to the contemplation of the +innumerable stars in the heavens. The human body was created for the mind; +its structure is correlated with mind. The animal has a sentient life; man +an intelligent, reasoning nature. + +When animals are infuriated and trample beneath their feet everything that +lies in their way, we do not say they are _insane_, but _mad_. “Man is an +intelligent spirit,” or mind, “served by an organism.” We know that mind +exists by our consciousness of that which passes within us. The propriety +of the sayings of Descartes, “_I think, therefore I am_,” rests upon the +consciousness that we are thinking beings. This intelligence is not +obtained by the exercise of any of the senses. It does not depend upon +external surroundings. Its existence is a fact of consciousness, of +certain knowledge, and hence a fact in mental science. + +We are continually conscious of the existence of the mind, which makes its +own operations the object of its own thought; that it should have no +existence is a contradiction in language. + +Experience teaches us that the materialistic theory of the existence of +the mind is utterly false. In an act of perception I distinguish the pen +in my hand, and the hand itself, from my mind which perceives them. This +distinction is a fact of the faculty of perception—a particular fact of a +particular faculty. But the general fact of a general distinction of which +this is only a special case, is the distinction of the _I_ and _not I_, +which belongs to the consciousness as the general faculty. He who denies +the contrast between mind-knowing and matter-known is dishonest, for it is +a fact of consciousness, and such can not be honestly denied. The facts +given in consciousness itself can not be honestly doubted, much less +denied. + +Materialists have claimed that mind is simply the result of the molecular +action of the brain. This theory is as unreal as Banquo’s ghost—it will +not bear a moment’s investigation. It is simply confounding the action of +the mind upon the brain with the mind itself. Every effect must have a +cause. When I make a special mental effort what is the cause lying behind +the effort? Is it the molecular action of the brain? I _will to_ make the +effort, and do it. Then will power lies behind brain action. But power is +a manifest energy; there is something lying behind it to which it belongs +as an attribute; what is it? Answer, _will_. But, where there is a _will_ +there must of a necessity be that which _wills_. What is it that _wills_ +to make a special mental effort—that lies away back “behind the throne” +and controls the helm? It is evidently the I, _myself_, the “inner man,” +_the spirit_. On one occasion, when some of the disciples of the Nazarene +were sleepy, Jesus said to them, “The spirit indeed is willing, but the +flesh is weak.” It is the spirit that _wills_ to make a special mental +effort. Here is the “_font_” of all our ideas. “What man knoweth the +things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?” 1 Cor., ii, 11. +_Will_, as an effect, belongs to the spirit of man, as _the cause_ lying +behind. Beyond this no man can trace this subject, short of crossing over +from the spirit of man to the invisible Father of spirits. The spirit of +man is a _wonderful intelligence_! “The body without the spirit is dead, +being alone.” When we analyze the physical structure back to the germ and +sperm-cells we are brought face to face with the invisible builder. Call +it what you may, it still remains the same invisible architect, which, +being matter’s master, built the organism. We live, and breathe; we die, +and cease breathing. Dead bodies do not breathe. Therefore, life lies +behind breath, and spirit behind life. So life and breath are both +effects, which find their ultimate or cause in _spirit_. This at once sets +aside all that materialists have said in order to show that spirit and +breath are one and the same. The original term, translated by the term +spirit has, in its history, away back in the past, a _physical_ currency. +The old-fashioned materialist or “soul-sleeper” finds his fort in this +fact. His entire aim is to get the people back to an old and obsolete +currency of the term “_pneuma_.” If we lay aside words which were used in +a physical sense, in times gone by, we will not have many words to express +the ideas embraced in mental science. In ancient times “_pneuma_” +signified both mind and wind, or air. In later times it lost its physical +currency, and no longer signifies, in its general currency, breath or air. +The adjective, “_pneumatikos_,” is _never used_ in a physical sense. It +came into use too late. + +We have many examples of old meanings passing away from words. +“_Sapientia_,” in Latin originally meant only the power of tasting. At +present it means _wisdom_, _prudence_, _discretion_, _discernment_, _good +sense_, _knowledge_, _practical wisdom_, _philosophy_, _calmness_, +_patience_. The word “_sagacitas_,” originally meant only the faculty of +_scenting_, now it means the power of seeing or perceiving anything +easily. In old literature we may read of the sagacity of dogs; keenness of +scent. But it is now sharpness of wit; keenness of perception, subtilty, +shrewdness, acuteness, penetration, ingenuity. The terms, “attentio,” +“intentio,” “comprehensio,” “apprehensio,” “penetratio,” and understanding +are all just so many bodily actions transferred to the expression of +_mental energies_. There is just the same reason for giving to all these +terms their old, obsolete, physical currency that there is for giving to +pneuma, or spirit, the old obsolete currency of wind or air. You must ever +remember that it is the business of lexicographers in giving the history +of words, to set before you the first as well as the latest use of terms. +In strict harmony with all this Greenfield gives “_pneuma_” _thus_: + +1. Wind, air in motion, breathing, breath, expiration, respiration, +spirit, i. e. the human soul, that is, the vital principle in man, life. +Matthew xxvii, 50; Rev. xiii, 15. + +2. Of the rational soul, mind, that principle in man which thinks, feels, +desires, and wills. Matthew v, 3, 26, 41. + +3. Of the human soul after its departure from the body, a spirit, soul. +Acts xxiii, 8, 9; Hebrews xii, 23. + +4. Spc. Spirit, that is, temper, disposition, affections, feelings, +inclination, qualities of mind. + +5. Construed with “_mou_” and “_sou_” (_I_ and _thou_), it forms a +periphrasis for the corresponding personal pronoun. Mark ii, 8; Luke i, +47. A spirit, that is, A SIMPLE, SPIRITUAL, INCORPOREAL, INTELLIGENT +BEING. Spoken of God. John iv, 24. Of angels. Hebrews i, 14. Of evil +spirits, Matthew viii, 16; Mark ix, 20. A divine spirit, spoken of the +spiritual nature of Christ. 1 Corinthians xv, 45; 1 Peter iii, 18. Of the +Holy Spirit. Matthew iii, 16-28; John xv, 26; Acts i, 8; Romans ix, 1. + +Robinson, in his Lexicon, sums up the history of its use thus: + +1. Pneuma, from pneo, to breathe. A breathing, breath. + +1. Of the mouth or nostrils, a breathing, blast. The destroying power of +God. Isaiah xi, 4; Psalm xxxiii, 6. The breath. Revelations xi, 11. +“Breath of life.” Genesis vi, 17; vii, 15-22. + +2. Breath of air. Air in motion, a breeze, blast, the wind. + +3. The spirit of man, that is, the vital spirit, life, soul. + +4. The rational spirit, mind, soul (Latin _animus_), generally opposed to +the body or animal (disposition) spirit. 1 Thessalonians v, 23; 1 +Corinthians xiv, 14. + +5. It implies will, council, purpose. Matthew xxvi, 41; Mark xiv, 38; Acts +xviii, 5; xix, 21; 1 Chronicles v, 26; Ezra i, 1. + +6. It includes the understanding, intellect. Mark ii, 8; Luke i, 80, and +ii, 40; 1 Corinthians ii, 11, 12; Exodus xxviii, 3; Job xx, 3; Isaiah +xxix, 24. + +7. A spirit, that is, a simple, incorporeal, immaterial being, possessing +higher capacities than man in his present state. Of created spirits, the +human spirit, soul, after its departure from the body and as existing in a +separate state. Hebrews xii, 23; that is, to the spirits of just men made +perfect. Robinson renders it thus: “To the spirits of the just advanced to +perfect happiness and glory.” + +It is spoken of God in reference to his immateriality. John, iv, 24. Of +Christ in his exalted spiritual nature in distinction from his human +nature. In Hebrews, ix, 14, in contrast with perishable nature. “The +_eternal spirit_,” Holy spirit, spirit of God.—_Robinson’s Lexicon._ + +From all this it will be seen that it is impossible to limit the term +spirit to its ancient _physical_ currency. Our term _mind_ is, for two +reasons, a better word for its place in modern literature. First, it never +had a physical application. Second, the terms are used indifferently in +the New Testament when they relate to man. See Romans, i, 9 and vii, 25. +All spirits are _one_ in kind; in _character_ the difference lies; that +is, spirits are all _imperishable_. It is not in the nature of a spirit to +cease to be. If it is, then there is no imperishable nature that is +revealed to man. I submit for consideration the thought that there is no +difference in the final results between the man who denies the existence +of spirits altogether and the man who allows that spirits may cease to +exist. + +“We are cognizant of the existence of spirit by our direct consciousness +of feelings, desires and ideas, which are to us the most certain of all +realities.”—_Carpenter._ + +“The body continually requires new materials and a continued action of +external agencies. But the mind, when it has been once called into +activity and has become stored with ideas, may remain active and may +develop new relations and combinations among these, after the complete +closure of the sensorial inlets by which new ideas can be excited ‘ab +externo.’ Such, in fact, is what is continually going on in the state of +dreaming.... The mind thus feeds upon the store of ideas which it has laid +up during the activity of the sensory organs, and those impressions which +it retains in its consciousness are working up into a never ending variety +of combinations and successions of ideas, thus affording new sources of +mental activity even to the very end of life.”—_Carpenter._ + +In death the spirit returns to God, who gave it, retaining, doubtless, all +its store of ideas and all its own inherent activities, which will +continue while eternity endures. + + + + + +OUR RELATIONS TO THE ANCIENT LAW AND PROPHETS—WHAT ARE THEY? + + +The above questions can not be answered intelligently without a knowledge +of the character of the law, and of its relations to humanity, as well as +a knowledge of the relations of the ancient prophets. The law given at +Sinai as a “covenant,” with all the laws contained in the “Book of the +Law,” was political in character; that is to say, it pertained to a +community or nation. Such law is _always_ political in its character. The +ancient law pertained to the nation of the Jews. It was given to them as a +community, and to no other people. Moses said, “And the Lord spake unto +you out of the midst of fire: Ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no +similitude; only ye heard a voice. And he declared unto you his covenant, +which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote +them upon two tables of stone.” Deut. iv, 12, 13. “And the Lord said unto +Moses, Write thou these words; for after the _tenor_ of these words I have +made a covenant _with thee_ and _with Israel_.... And he wrote upon the +tables _the words of the covenant_, the ten commandments.” Exodus xxxiv, +27, 28. “The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord _made +not_ this covenant with our fathers, but with us, who _are_ all of us here +alive this day.” Deut. v, 2, 3. “Behold, I have taught you statutes and +judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in +the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep, therefore, and do them; for +this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, +which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is +a wise and understanding people. For what nation is there so great who +hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we +call upon him for? And what nation is there so great that hath statutes +and judgments so righteous as all this law which I set before you this +day.” Deut. iv, 5, 8. + +The law or covenant, as written upon the two tables of stone, is given in +full in one place, and only one, in all the book of the law, and I will +now transcribe it from the fifth chapter of Deut. Here it is: “I am the +Lord, thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house +of bondage; thou shalt have none other gods before me; thou shalt not make +thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven +above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath +the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them or serve them, for I, +the Lord, thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers +upon the children unto the third and fourth _generation_ of them that hate +me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my +commandments. + +“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord, thy God, in vain; for the Lord +will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. + +“Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord, thy God, hath commanded +thee. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh is +the Sabbath of the Lord, thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work; thou, +nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor +thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy +gates, that thy man-servant and maid-servant may rest as well as thou; and +remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord, +thy God, brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched +out arm; THEREFORE, THE LORD, THY GOD, COMMANDED THEE TO KEEP THE SABBATH +DAY. + +“Honor thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; +that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee in the +land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. + +“Thou shalt not kill. + +“Neither shalt thou commit adultery. + +“Neither shalt thou steal. + +“Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor. + +“Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor’s wife, neither shalt thou covet +thy neighbor’s house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, +his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor’s. + +“These words the Lord spake unto _all your assembly_ in the mount, out of +the midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick darkness, with a +great voice; and he _added no more_. And _he wrote them in two tables of +stone_, and delivered them unto me.” + +This is the covenant as it was written upon the tables of stone. It is, by +its facts, limited to the Jews, for they are the only people who were ever +delivered from bondage in Egypt. The abrogation of this covenant is +clearly presented in the following language, found in Zechariah, the +eleventh chapter and tenth verse: “And I took my staff, even Beauty, and +cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with _all +the people_. And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock +that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord. And I said unto +them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they +weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.” This language had its +fulfillment in the sale which Judas Iscariot made of his Lord and the +abrogation of the ancient covenant or law. + +The prophets were not confined to the kingdom of Israel, or to any one +kingdom, nor yet to any one dispensation. + +They bore the word of the Lord to all the nations, as we learn from such +language as this: “The burden of the word of the Lord to Ninevah, to +Sidon, to Tyre, to Idumea, to Babylon, to Samaria, to Egypt,” and to many +others. It is very remarkable that no such latitude or longitude of +relationships belongs to the ancient law. It was confined to the +Israelites. + +The Heavenly Father spake not to the ancients by his Son, but by the +prophets. And much of that which they spake pertained to our own +dispensation and to our own religion. + +Much, very much, of that which they gave lies in the very foundation of +our religion. We should always distinguish, _carefully_, between the Law +and the prophets, and between these two and the psalms, remembering, +however, that prophesy belongs also to many of the psalms. The abrogated +covenant, or law, that was done away, was written upon stones. It, with +all the laws which were after its _tenor_, was supplanted by the law of +Christ. It was added because of transgression _till Christ, _“the seed,” +should come. When he came it expired by limitation, and through his +authority the neighborly restrictions or limitations were taken off from +moral precepts, which were re-enacted by him. + + + + + +THE FUNERAL SERVICES OF THE NATIONAL LIBERAL LEAGUE. + + +The decent members of the Liberal League, who formed it to express their +convictions, and who withdrew and formed a rival League when they found +that the old organization had gone over to the defense of indecency, who +gave to the League all the character it had, and who had great hopes at +one time of destroying the influence of the preachers of the Gospel of +Christ, and thereby ridding our country of that terrible pest called the +Bible, have given up their name. Their “priests” have adopted the +following arraignment of their old organization, a legitimate child of +their own: + +“Voted that, in the judgment of this Board, the name ‘National Liberal +League’ has become so widely and injuriously associated in the public mind +with attempts to repeal the postal laws prohibiting the circulation of +obscene literature by mail, with the active propagandism of demoralizing +and licentious social theories, and with the support of officials and +other public representatives who are on good grounds believed to have been +guilty of gross immoralities, that it has been thereby unfitted for use by +any organization which desires the support of the friends of ‘natural +morality.’ ” + +Thus the child went into a far country and fed among swine, and, failing +to come to itself and return to its father’s house, the old gentleman +disinherited it, _once_ and forever. A younger son, however, is christened +“Liberal Union,” and whether it will remain at home to take care of the +old man in his dotage remains to be seen. + + + + + +HUXLEY’S PARADOX. + + +“The whole analogy of natural operations furnish so complete and crushing +an argument against the intervention of any but what are called secondary +causes, in the production of all the phenomena of the universe, that, in +view of the intimate relations of man and the rest of the living world, +and between the forces exerted by the latter and all other forces, I can +see no reason for doubting that all are co-ordinate terms of nature’s +great progression, from formless to formed, from the inorganic to the +organic, from blind force to conscious intellect and will.” _Huxley’s +Evidence of Man’s Place in Nature_, London, 1864, p. 107. + +A writer in the _Spectator_ charged Professor Huxley with Atheism. The +professor replies, in the number of that paper for February 10, 1866, +thus: “I do not know that I care very much about popular odium, so there +is no great merit in saying that if I really saw fit to deny the existence +of a God I should certainly do so for the sake of my own intellectual +freedom, and be the honest Atheist you are pleased to say I am. As it +happens, however, I can not take this position with honesty, inasmuch as +it is, and always has been, a favorite tenet that Atheism is as absurd, +logically speaking, as Polytheism.” In the same sheet, he says: “The +denying the possibility of miracles seems to me quite as unjustifiable as +Atheism.” Is Huxley in conflict with Huxley? + + + + + +THE TRIUMPHING REIGN OF LIGHT. + + +The next psychic cycle, it seems to me, will witness a synthesis of +thought and faith, a recognition of the fact that it is impossible for +reason to find solid ground that is not consecrated ground; that all +philosophy and all science belong to religion; that all truth is a +revelation of God; that the truths of written revelation, if not +intelligible to reason, are nevertheless consonant with reason; and that +divine agency, instead of standing removed from man by infinite intervals +of time and space, is, indeed, the true name of those energies which work +their myriad phenomena in the natural world around us. This +consummation—at once the inspiration of a fervent religion and the +prophecy of the loftiest science—is to be the noontide reign of wedded +intellect and faith, whose morning rays already stream far above our +horizon.—_Winchell._ Re. and Sci. p. 84. + + ------------------------------------- + +“Experience proves to us that the matter which we regard as inert and +dead, assumes action, intelligence, and life, when it is combined in a +certain way.”—_Atheist._ + +“But how does a germ come to live?”—_Deist._ + +“Life is organization with feeling.”—_Atheist._ + +“But that you have these two properties from the motion of” dead atoms, or +matter alone, it is impossible to give any proof; and if it can not be +proved, why affirm it?

No 4. + + April, 1880. + + + + + +CONTENTS + + +Is There A Counterfeit Without A Genuine? +Design In Nature. +An Atheist Is A Fool. +Blunder On And Blunder On--It Is Human To Blunder. +Draper's Conflict Between Religion And Science. +Facts Speak Louder Than Words, Or What Christianity Has Done For +Cannibals. +Are We Simply Animals? +Our Relations To The Ancient Law And Prophets--What Are They? +The Funeral Services Of The National Liberal League. +Huxley's Paradox. +The Triumphing Reign Of Light. + + + + + + +IS THERE A COUNTERFEIT WITHOUT A GENUINE? + + +My object in this lesson is to present the myths, the ancient, fictitious +and fanciful narratives concerning the gods, in such a manner as to enable +you to see the utter absurdity of the idea that the religion of the Bible +is of mythical origin. _Myths_ are fictitious narratives, having an +analogy more or less remote to something real. From this definition you +discover that a myth is _always_ a counterfeit, and as such always appears +in evidence in favor of something more or less remote, that is true. Now, +if the Bible had a mythical origin, it sustains some analogy to something +found in the mythical or fictitious and fanciful narratives concerning the +gods, and is therefore the myth of a myth; the counterfeit of a +counterfeit. If such be the truth in the case, where do we find the origin +of the myths from which "Bible myths" have descended? Is it found in the +true God presiding over the elements of nature and the destinies of men, +as well as the events of creation and providence? Or, can it be possible +that we have many counterfeits _without a genuine_? Many myths sustaining +no analogy, either near or remote, to anything real? It is an absurdity, +destructive of the term employed, because _myths_ cease to be _myths_ +without some near or remote relation to realities. They _must_ sustain +some analogy to something real. And _counterfeits_ also cease to be +_counterfeits_ when it is shown that they sustain no relation, through +analogy or likeness, to anything that is genuine. In the mythical systems +of olden times we have, in the midst of a vast deal of false and fanciful +narrative concerning subordinate and secondary gods, evidence of a supreme +God presiding over all things; and the secondary gods performing many +things which belonged to the province of the "Almighty One," with many +degrading, vile and corrupting habits. + +A letter written by Maximus, a Numidian, to Augustin, reads thus: "Now, +that there is a sovereign God, who is without beginning, and who, without +having begotten anything like unto Himself, is, nevertheless, the Father +and the former of all things, what man can be gross and stupid enough to +doubt? He it is of whom, under different names, we adore the eternal power +extending through every part of the world, thus honoring separately by +different sorts of worship what may be called His several members, we +adore Him entirely. May those subordinate gods preserve you under whose +names, and by whom all we mortals upon earth adore the common Father of +gods and men." In this letter we have a clear presentation of the mythical +system concerning the ancient gods, and also the "analagous relation" to +the "Master God." Each god having his particular dominion over place or +passion, appears before us as a representative of the supreme, or "Master +God;" and by worshiping each member or God they claimed to adore entirely +the "common Father of gods and men." Augustin answers, In your public +square there are _two statues_ of Mars, one naked, the other armed; and +close by the figure of a man who, with three fingers advanced towards +Mars, holds in check that divinity so dangerous to the whole town. With +regard to what you say of such gods being portions of the only "true God," +I take the liberty you gave me to warn you not to fall into such a +sacrilege; for that only God, of whom you speak, is doubtless He who is +acknowledged by the whole world, and concerning whom, as some of the +ancients have said, the ignorant agree with the learned. Now, will you say +that Mars, whose strength is represented by an inanimate man, is a portion +of that God? That is to say, the dead statue controls Mars, and Mars is a +subordinate god representing the infinite God, and is, therefore, a part +of that God. Augustin adds, Not the Pantheon and all the temples +consecrated to the inferior gods, nor even the temples consecrated to the +twelve greater gods prevented "Deus Optimus Maximus," God most good, most +great, from being acknowledged throughout the empire. Voltaire says, "In +spite of all the follies of the people who venerated secondary and +ridiculous gods, and in spite of the Epicurians, who in reality +acknowledged none, it is verified that in all times the magistrates and +wise adored one sovereign God." Secondary gods were _myths_, counterfeits, +sustaining the _relation_ of counterfeits. The ancients attributed their +own passions to the "Master God," and had subordinate gods representing +passions. They also had a god for each part of His dominion; and these +gods they called members of the true God, and claimed to worship Him, by +worshiping all the members or gods. Mars was the god of war; Bacchus was +the god of drunkenness. They had a god for this and a god for that. The +ancient pagans seemed to think that infinite divisibility belonged to the +"true God," for they distinguished between passions, and divided up the +universe among the gods until they had it crammed full of subordinate and +ridiculous gods, each one a member of Jehovah, and each member a part of +the great mythical system. + +Now, in order to establish the proposition that our religion is of +mythical origin, it is necessary to show, first, that the Bible was +written this side of or during the age of myths, and, having done this, it +is necessary to show that the Hebrew people were a mythical people; +neither of which can be accomplished. It will not be amiss to present in +this connection a statement given by Justin to the Greeks. He says: "Of +all your teachers, whether sages, poets, historians, philosophers, or +law-givers, by far the oldest, as the Greek historians show us, was +Moses.... For in the times of Ogyges and Inachus, whom some of your poets +have supposed to have been earth-born--that is, to have sprung from the +soil, and hence one of the oldest inhabitants--_the aborigines_, Moses is +mentioned as the leader and ruler of the Jewish nation." He is mentioned +as a very ancient and time-honored prince in the Athenian, Attic and +Grecian histories. Polemon, in his first book of Hellenics, mentions Moses +as the leader and ruler of the Jewish nation. Ptolemus, in his history of +Egypt, bears the same testimony. Apion, an Egyptian writer, in his book +against the Jews, says "Moses led them." Dr. Shaw, a modern traveler, says +the inhabitants of Corondel, on the eastern side of the Red Sea, to this +day preserve the remembrance of the deliverance of the children of Israel +from their bondage in Egypt. Diodorus, the most renowned Greek historian, +who employed thirty years epitomizing the libraries, and traveled over +Asia and Europe for the sake of great accuracy, who wrote forty volumes of +history, says he learned from the Egyptian priests that Moses was an +ancient law-giver. + +It seems to us that, no sane man, who is acquainted with the ancient +mythicals, can regard the religion of the Bible as a child of mythical +descent. It is as deadly in its influence upon those myths, and all +mythical worship, as it could be made by an infinite mind. + +Voltaire says "the character of the mythical gods is ridiculous;" we will +add, it is ridiculous in the extreme. Listen--Hesiod, in his theogony, +says: "Chronos, the son of Ouranos, or Saturn, son of Heaven, in the +beginning slew his father, and possessed himself of his rule, and, being +seized with a panic lest he should suffer in the same way, he preferred +devouring his children, but Curetes, a subordinate god, by craft, conveyed +Jupiter away in secret and afterwards bound his brother with chains, and +divided the empire, Jupiter receiving the air, and Neptune the deep, and +Pluto Hades." + +Pros-er-pi-ne, Mella-nip-pe, Neptune, Pluto and Jupiter are all set forth +in the mythical writings as adulterers. Jupiter was regarded as more +frequently involved in that crime, being set down as guilty in many +instances. For the love of Sem-e-le, it is said that he assumed wings and +proved his own unchastity and her jealousy. These are some of the exploits +of the sons of Saturn. Hercules was celebrated by his three nights, sung +by the poets for his successful labors. + +The son of Jupiter slew the Lion, and destroyed the many-headed Hydra; was +able to kill the fleet man-eating birds, and brought up from hades the +three-headed dog, Cerberus; effectually cleansed the Augean stable from +its refuse; killed the bulls and stag whose nostrils breathed fire; slew +the poisonous serpent and killed Ach-e-l-us. The guest-slaying Bu-s-ris +was delighted with being stunned by the cymbals of the Sat-yrs, and to be +conquered with the love of women; and at last, being unable to take the +cloak off of Nessus, he kindled his own funeral pile and died. Such are +specimens of the ancient myths. Their character is such as to leave an +impassible gulf between them and the character of the God revealed in our +religion. No development theory, seeking the origin of our religion in the +old mythical system, can bridge across this chasm. It is as deep and broad +as the distance between the antipodes. There is no analogy between these +counterfeits or myths and the "true God," save that remote power of God +which is divided up and parceled out among them. Their morals were the +worst. The whole mythical system is simply one grand demonstration of +human apostacy from the "true God." Homer introduces Zeus in love, and +bitterly complaining and bewailing himself, and plotted against by the +other gods. He represents the gods as suffering at the hands of men. Mars +and Venus were wounded by Di-o-me-de. He says, "Great Pluto's self the +stinging arrow felt when that same son of Jupiter assailed him in the very +gates of hell, and wrought him keenest anguish. Pierced with pain, to the +high Olympus, to the courts of Jupiter groaning he came. The bitter shaft +remained deep in his shoulder fixed, and grieved his soul." In the +mythical system the gods are not presented as creators or first causes. +Homer says, They were in the beginning generated from the waters of the +ocean, and thousands were added by deifying departed heroes and +philosophers. The thought of one supreme Intelligence, the "God of Gods,", +runs through all the system of myths. It is found anterior to the myths, +and, therefore, could not have had its origin with them. The character +ascribed to our God, in our scriptures, has no place among the ancient +myths. They hold the "Master God" before us only in connection with power, +being altogether ignorant of His true character. They even went so far as +to attribute much to Him that was ridiculous. One of the ancients said, +"The utmost that a man can do is to attribute to the being he worships his +imperfections and impurities, magnified to infinity, it may be, and then +become worse by their reflex action upon his own nature." This was +verified in the ancient mythical religion, without exception, and without +doubt. + +"The character of all the gods was simply human character extended in all +its powers, appetites, lusts and passions. Scholars say there is no +language containing words that express the Scriptural ideas of holiness +and abhorrence of sin, except those in which the Scriptures were given, or +into which they have been translated. These attributes must be known in +order to salvation from sin, so God revealed Himself and gave the world a +pure religion, as a standard of right and wrong, and guide in duty, and +rule of life." + +The history of the ancient nations of the earth gives a united testimony +that their original progenitors possessed a knowledge of the one true and +living God, who was worshiped by them, and believed to be an infinite, +self-existent and invisible spirit. This notion was never entirely +extinguished even among the idolatrous worshipers. Greek and Latin poets +were great corrupters of theology, yet in the midst of all their Gods +there is still to be found, in their writings, the notion of one supreme +in power and rule, whom they confound with Jupiter. + +The age of myths began with the tenth generation after the flood. The +evidence of this is given by Plato from one of the ancient poets in these +words: "It was the generation _then the tenth_, of men endowed with +speech, since forth the flood had burst upon the men of former times, and +Kronos, Japetus and Titan reigned, whom men of Ouranos proclaimed the +noblest sons, and named them so, because of men _endowed with gift of +speech_, they were the first," that is to say, they were orators, "and +others for their strength, as Heracles and Perseus, and others for their +art. Those to whom either the subjects gave honor, or the rulers +themselves _assuming it_, obtained the name, some from fear, others from +reverence. Thus Antinous, through the benevolence of your ancestors toward +their subjects, came to be regarded as a god. But those who came after +adopted the worship without examination." So testifies one who was +schooled in philosophy. Do you say there are points of similitude between +the Bible religion and the mythical? It would be strange if there were +none, seeing that the mythical is truly what the term signifies, a +counterfeit upon the genuine, or Biblical. + +The points of disagreement, however, are such as to demonstrate the fact +that the ancient mythical people knew not the character of the Being, whom +they conceived to be the "God of Gods and the Father of Gods and men." +Those who confound the Bible with the ancient myths upon the score of the +analogy that exists between it and the myths, remind me of a very learned +gentleman with whom I was once walking around an oat field, when he +remarked, "_there_ is a very fine piece of wheat." The man had been +brought up in an eastern city, and was unable to distinguish between oats +and wheat. I knew a gentleman who asked a man, standing by the side of an +old-fashioned flax-break, what he thought it was used for? The man took +hold of the handle, lifted it up and let it down a few times, and said: +"It looks like it might be used to chop up sausage meat." It is very +natural for us to draw comparisons, and when we do not make ourselves +familiar with things and their uses, we are very liable to be led into +error by a few points of similitude. All the infidels with whom I have +become acquainted look upon the Bible like the man looked upon the +flax-break, and like the man looked upon the oat field. If one had looked +upon the flax-break who was familiar with it, he never could have dreamed +of chopping sausage meat; and if the other had been familiar with wheat +and oats, as they present themselves to the eye in the field in the month +of June, he never would have called the oats wheat. And if any sane man +will make himself familiar with both the Bible and the old system of myths +and mythical worship, he will never confound the two. There are a thousand +things, very different in character and origin, which have points of +similitude. But similitude never proves identity short of completeness. +While the analogy between the ancient mythical system of gods and their +worship and the true God and His worship is restricted to power and +intelligence, there exists a contrast between them deep as heaven is high +and broad as the earth in point of moral character, virtue, and every +ennobling and lovable attribute. + +There is an old myth in the Vedas--a god called "Chrishna." The Vedas claim +that he is in the form of a man; that he is black; that he is dressed in +flowers and ribbons; that he is the father of a great many gods. It is +surprising to see the eagerness with which some men bring up "Chrishna" in +comparison with the Greek term "Christos"--Christ, and confound the two. +The words are entirely different, save in a jingle of sound. They are no +more alike than the terms _catechist_--one who instructs by questions and +answers, and the term catechu--a dry, brown astringent extract. We could +give many such examples in the history of unbelievers and their war upon +the Bible, but this must suffice for the present. The truth is this: such +men, as a general rule, neither understand the Bible in its teachings and +character, nor the ancient mythical system. In it Jupiter, among the +Romans, and throughout every language, appears before us as the "Father of +Gods and men"--"the God of gods," the "Master of the gods." Voltaire says: +It is false that Cicero, or any other Roman, ever said that it did not +become the majesty of the empire to acknowledge a Supreme God. Their +Jupiter, the Zeus of the Greeks and the Jehovah of the Phonecians, was +always considered as the master of the secondary gods. He adds: But is not +Jupiter, the master of all the gods, a word belonging to every nation, +from the Euphrates to the Tiber? Among the first Romans it was _Jov_, +_Jovis_; among the Greeks, _Zeus_; among the Phonecians and Syrians and +Egyptians, _Jehovah_. The last term is the Hebrew scriptural name of +God--denoting _permanent being_--in perfect keeping with the Bible title or +descriptive appellation, "I AM THAT I AM." + +The ancient worshipers of the gods had lost all but the name, _power_ and +relation, which they ever knew of Jehovah. And they could do no more than +clothe Jupiter with their own imperfections and impurities--and then place +him above all the gods; it was necessary for them to view him as excelling +in all the characteristics of the secondary gods. And having attributed to +the gods all they knew of human passions and corruptions, they clothed +Jupiter himself with more villainy and corruption than belonged to any +other god. In this was the great blasphemous sacrilege of ancient +idolatry. They thus demonstrated their own apostacy; and the fact that +their system of gods was a counterfeit, a mythical system. They were +destitute of any standard of right and wrong, having no conceptions of the +divine character which were not drawn from their own imperfect and corrupt +lives. The divine character, as revealed in the revelation of Christ, and +presented to us as God manifest in the flesh, is at once the very opposite +of the characters given in the myths. The distance between the two is the +distance between the lowest degradation of God-like power exercised in the +lowest passions, and the sublimity of Heaven's own spotless life. I love +the religion of the Scriptures, because it restores to the race the lost +knowledge of God and the additional life of Jesus--the only perfect model +known in the history of the race. It is the life of God manifested in the +flesh; make it _your own_, and it will save you. Mr. English, an American +infidel, said: "Far be it from me to reproach the meek and compassionate, +the amiable Jesus, or to attribute to him the mischiefs occasioned by his +followers." + +It is now conceded that Jesus Christ was _no myth_ by all the great minds +in unbelief. He lived. We love his life, because all who would rob Him of +His authority are compelled to speak well of it. Rousseau, another +infidel, says: "It is impossible that he whose history the gospel records +can be but a man," adding, "Does he speak in the tone of an enthusiast, or +of an ambitious sectary? What mildness! What purity in his manners! What +touching favor in his instructions! What elevation in his maxims! What +presence of mind! What ingenuity, and what justice in his answers! What +government of his passions! What prejudice, blindness or ill faith must +that be which dares to compare Socrates with the Son of Mary! + +"What a difference between the two! Socrates, dying without a pain, +without disgrace, easily sustains his part to the last. The death of +Socrates, philosophizing with his friends, is the mildest that could be +desired. That of Jesus, expiring in torments, injured, mocked, cursed by +all the people, is the most horrible that can be feared. Socrates, taking +the impoisoned cup, blesses him who presents it to him with tears. Jesus, +in the midst of a frightful punishment, prays for his enraged +executioners. Yes, if the life and death of Socrates are those of a wise +man, the life and death of Jesus are those of a God." If such be the +model, the pattern, the example which I am to follow, let me live and die +a Christian. I love the religion of Christ, because its character compels +its enemies to speak thus of it. I love it because of its practical +influence in elevating all into the moral image of Christ. I love it +because it saves men through its influence from abominable sins and +consequent sorrows that would tear up the hearts of thousands. I love it +because it is the power of God to save the soul. I love it because it +leads men into communion and fellowship with all the good. I love it +because it leads to heaven and to God. + + + + + +Civilization, it is true, is an arbitrary term. Anthropologists have not +yet settled the boundary line between a savage and a civilized +people.--_Prof. Owen, F. R. S._ + + + + + +DESIGN IN NATURE. + + +It is scarcely necessary to designate instances in the works of nature, in +which there is an appearance of purpose, for everything has this +appearance. I will, however, mention several cases as samples. + +1. The adaptation of the covering of animals to the climates in which they +live. Northern animals have thicker and warmer coats of fur or hair than +Southern ones. And here it should be remarked that man, the only creature +capable of clothing himself, is the only one that is not clothed by +nature. Singular discrimination and care indeed for non-intelligence! + +2. The adaptation of animals to the elements in which they live, the fish +to the water, other animals to the air. Would not an unintelligent energy +or power be as likely to form the organs of a fish for air as for water? + +3. The necessity which man has for sustenance, and the supply of that +necessity by nature. + +Here let it be noted how many things must act in unison to produce the +necessary result. The earth must nourish the seed, the sun must warm it, +the rain must moisten it, and man must have the strength to cultivate it, +and the organs to eat it, and the stomach to digest it, and the +blood-vessels to circulate it, and so on. Is it credible that all these +things should _happen_ without design? + +4. The pre-adaptation of the infant to the state of things into which it +enters at birth. The eye is exactly suited to the light, the ear to sound, +the nose to smell, the palate to taste, the lungs to the air. How is it +possible to see no design in this pre-adaptation, so curious, so +complicated in so many particulars? + +5. The milk of animals suitable for the nourishment of their young, +provided just in season, provided without contrivance on the part of the +parent, and sought for without instruction or experience on the part of +its offspring! _and all by chance!!_ + +6. The different sexes. In this case, as in the rest, there is perfect +adaptation, which displays evident design. And there is more. What, I ask, +is there _in nature_ to cause a difference in sexes? Why are not all +either males or females? or, rather, a compound? This case, then, I +consider not only an evidence of design, but likewise an evidence of the +special and continued _volition_ of the Creator. + +7. The destitution of horns on the calf and of teeth in the suckling. All +other parts are perfect at the very first; but were calves and sucklings +to have teeth and horns, what sore annoyances would these appendages prove +to their dams and dames. How is it that all the necessary parts of the +young are thus perfect at the first, and their annoying parts unformed +till circumstances render them no annoyance--unformed at the time they are +not needed, and produced when they are, for defense and mastication? Who +can fail to see intelligence here? + +8. The teats of animals. These bear a general proportion to the number of +young which they are wont to have at a time. Those that are wont to have +few young have few teats; those that have many young have many teats. Were +these animals to make preparations themselves in this respect, how could +things be more appropriate? + +9. The pea and the bean. The pea-vine, unable to stand erect of itself, +has tendrils with which to cling to a supporter; but the bean-stalk, +self-sustained, has nothing of the kind. + +10. The pumpkin. This does not grow on the oak; to fall on the tender head +of the wiseacre reposing in its shade, _reasoning_ that it should grow +there rather than where it does, because, forsooth, the oak would be able +to sustain it. And were he to undertake to set the other works of +Providence to rights which he now considers wrong, 'tis a chance if he +would not get many a thump upon his pate ere he should get the universe +arranged to his mind. And if, before completing his undertaking, he should +not find it the easier of the two to arrange his mind to the universe, it +would be because _what __ little_ brains he _has_ would get thumped out of +his cranium altogether! + +11. The great energies of nature. To suppose the existence of _powers_ as +the cause of the operations of nature--powers destitute of life, and, at +the same time, self-moving, and acting upon matter without the +intervention of extrinsic agency, is just as irrational as to suppose such +a power in a machine, and is a gross absurdity and a self-contradiction. +But to suppose that these lifeless energies, even if possessed of such +qualities, could, void of intelligence, produce _such_ effects as _are_ +produced in the universe, requires credulity capable of believing +anything. + +12. The whole universe, whether considered in its elementary or its +organized state. From the simple grass to the tender plant, and onward to +the sturdy oak; from the least insect up to man, there is skill the most +consummate, design the most clear. What substance, useless as it may be +when uncompounded with other substances, does not manifest design in its +affinity to those substances, by a union with which it is rendered useful? +What plant, what shrub, what tree has not organization and arrangement the +most perfect imaginable? What insect so minute that contains not, within +its almost invisible exterior, adjustment of part to part in the most +exact order throughout all its complicated system, infinitely transcending +the most ingenious productions of art, and the most appropriate adaptation +of all those parts to its peculiar mode of existence? Rising in the scale +of sensitive being, let us consider the beast of the forest, in whose +case, without microscopic aid, we have the subject more accessible. Is he +a beast of prey? Has the God of nature given him an instinctive thirst for +blood? Behold, then, his sharp-sighted organs of vision for descrying his +victim afar, his agile limbs for pursuit, his curved and pointed claws for +seizing and tearing his prey, his sharp-edged teeth for cutting through +its flesh, his firm jaws for gripping, crushing, and devouring it, and his +intestines for digesting raw flesh. But is he a graminivorous animal? Does +he subsist on grass and herb? Behold, then, his clumsy limbs and his +clawless hoofs, his blunt teeth and his herb-digesting stomach. So perfect +is the correspondence between one part and another; so exactly adapted are +all the parts to the same general objects; so wonderful is the harmony and +so definite and invariable the purpose obtaining throughout the whole, +that it is necessary to see but a footstep, or even a bone, to be able to +decide the nature and construction of the animal that imprinted that +footstep or that possessed that bone. Ascending still higher in the scale, +we come at last to man--man, the highest, noblest workmanship of God on +earth--the lord of this sphere terrene--for whose behoof all earthly things +exist. In common with all animals, he has that perfect adaptation of part +to part, and of all the parts to general objects, which demonstrate +consummate wisdom in the Cause which thus adapted them. His eyes are so +placed as to look the same way in which his feet are placed to walk, and +his hands to toil. His feet correspond with each other, being both placed +to walk in the direction, and with their corresponding sides towards one +another, without which he would hobble, even if he could walk at all. His +mouth is placed in the forepart of the head, by which it can receive food +and drink from the hands. + +But the hands themselves--who can but admire their wonderful utility? To +what purpose are they not adapted? Man, who has many ends to accomplish, +in common with the beast of the field; who has hunger to alleviate, thirst +to slake, and has likewise other and higher ends, for the attainment of +which he is peculiarly qualified by means of _hands_. Adapted by his +constitution to inhabit all climes, he has hands to adapt his clothing to +the same, whether torrid, temperate or frigid. Possessed of the knowledge +of the utility of the soil, he has hands to cultivate it. Located far +distant oftentimes from the running stream, these hands enable him to +disembowel the earth and there find an abundant supply of the +all-necessary fluid. Endowed with rational ideas, pen in _hand_ he can +transmit them to his fellows far away, or to generations unborn. Heir and +lord of earth and ocean, his hands enable him to possess and control the +same, without which, notwithstanding all his reason, he could do neither, +but would have to crouch beneath the superior strength of the brute, and +fly for shelter to crags inaccessible to his beastly sovereign. + +The only creature that has the reason to manage the world, has the +physical organization to do it. No _beast_ with man's reason could do +this, and no _man_ with the mere instinct of a brute could do it. How +marvellous, then this adaptation! How wondrous the adaptation of +everything, and how astonishing that any man, with all these things in +view, can for one moment forbear to admit a God. Let him try _a chance +experiment_. Let him take the letters of the alphabet and throw them about +promiscuously and then see how long ere they would move of their own +accord and arrange themselves into words and sentences. He may avail +himself of the whole benefit of his scheme; he may have the advantage of +an energy or power as a momentum to set them in motion; he may put these +letters into a box sufficiently large for the purpose, and then shake them +as long as may seem him good, and when, in this way, they shall have +become intelligible language, I will admit that he will have some reasons +for doubting a God. If this should seem too much like _artificial_ mind, +he may take some little animal, all constructed at his hands, and +dismember its limbs and dissect its body, and then within some vessel let +him throw its various parts at random, and seizing that vessel shake it +most lustily till bone shall come to bone, joint to joint, and the little +creature be restored to its original form. But if this could not be +accomplished by mere power, without wisdom to direct, how could the +original adjustment occur by chance? How could those very parts themselves +be _formed for_ adjustment one to another? + +Mathematicians tell us wondrous things in relation to these hap-hazard +concerns. And they demonstrate their statements by what will not +lie--figures. Their rule is this: that, as one thing admits of but one +position, as, for example, _a_, so two things, _a_ and _b_, are capable of +two positions, as _ab_, _ba_. But if a third be added, instead of their +being susceptible of only one additional position, or three in all, they +are capable of six. For example, _abc_, _acb_, _bac_, _bca_, _cab_, _cba_. +Add another letter, _d_, and the four are capable of twenty-four positions +or variations. Thus we might go on. Merely adding another letter, _e_, and +so making _five_ instead of four, would increase the the number of +variations _five_-fold. They would then amount to one hundred and twenty. +A single additional letter, _f_, making _six_ in all, would increase this +last sum of one hundred and twenty _six_-fold, making seven hundred and +twenty. Add a _seventh_ letter, _g_, and the last-named sum would be +increased _seven_-fold, making the sum of five thousand and forty. If we +go on thus to the end of the alphabet, we have the astonishing sum of six +hundred and twenty thousand four hundred and forty-eight trillions, four +hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty-three billions, two +hundred and thirty-nine thousand four hundred and thirty-nine millions and +three hundred and sixty thousand!!! Hence it follows that, were the +letters of the alphabet to be thrown promiscuously into a vessel, to be +afterwards shaken into order by mere hap, their chance of being arranged, +not to say into words and sentences, but into their alphabetical order, +would be only as _one_ to the above number. All this, too, in the case of +only twenty-six letters! Take now the human frame, with its bones, +tendons, nerves, muscles, veins, arteries, ducts, glands, cartilages, +etc.; and having dissected the same, throw those parts into one +promiscuous mass; and how long, I ask, would it be ere Chance would put +them all into their appropriate places and form a perfect man? In this +calculation we are likewise to take into the account the chances of their +being placed bottom upwards, or side-ways, or wrong side out, +notwithstanding they might merely find their appropriate places. This +would increase the chances against a well-formed system to an amount +beyond all calculation or conception. In the case of the alphabet, the +chances for the letters to fall bottom up or aslant are not included. And +when we reflect that the blind goddess, or "unintelligent forces," would +have to contend against such fearful odds in the case of a single +individual, how long are we to suppose it would be, ere from old Chaos she +could shake this mighty universe, with all its myriads upon myriads of +existences, into the glorious order and beauty in which it now exists. + + + + + +AN ATHEIST IS A FOOL. + + +He can't believe that two letters can be adjusted to each other without +design, and yet he can believe all the foregoing incredibilities. + +I might swell the list to a vast extent. I might bring into view the +verdure of the earth as being the most agreeable of all colors to the eye; +the general diffusion of the indispensibles and necessaries of life, such +as air, light, water, food, clothing, fuel, while less necessary things, +such as spices, gold, silver, tin, lead, zinc, are less diffused; also, +the infinite variety in things--in men, for instance--by which we can +distinguish one from another. But I forbear. Is it reasonable to conclude +that, where there are possible appearances of design, still no design is +there? or even that it is probable there is none? + +I have said that there is as much evidence of purpose in the works of +nature as in those of art. I now say that there is more, _infinitely_ +more. Should the wheels of nature stop their revolutions, and her energies +be palsied, and life and motion cease, even then would she exhibit +incomparably greater evidence of design, in her mere construction and +adaptation, than do the works of art. Shall we then be told that when she +is in full operation, and daily producing millions upon millions of +useful, of intelligent, of marvelous effects, she still manifests no marks +of intelligence! In nature we not only see all the works of art infinitely +exceeded, but we see, as it were, those works self-moved and performing +their operations without external agency. To use a faint comparison, we +see a factory in motion without water, wind or steam, its cotton placing +itself within the reach of the picker, the cards, the spinning-frame and +the loom, and turning out in rolls or cloth. Such virtually, nay, far more +wonderful, is the universe. Not a thousandth part so unreasonable would it +be to believe a real factory of this description, were one to exist, to be +a chance existence, as to believe this universe so. Sooner could I suppose +nature herself possessed of intelligence than admit the idea that there is +_no_ intelligence concerned in her organization and operations. There must +be a mind within or without her, or else we have no data by which to +distinguish mind. There must be a mind, or all the results of mind are +produced without any. There must be a mind, or chaos produces order, blind +power perfects effects, and non-intelligence the most admirable +correspondence and harmony imaginable. Skeptics pride themselves much on +their reason. They can't believe, they say, because it is unreasonable. +_What_ is unreasonable? To believe in a mind where there is every +appearance thereof that can be? Is it more reasonable to believe, then, +that every appearance of mind is produced without any mind at all? +Skeptics are the last men in all this wide world to pretend reason. They +doubt against infinite odds; they believe without evidence against +evidence, against demonstration, and then talk of reason!--_Origin +Bachelor's Correspondence with R. D. Owen._ + + + + + +BLUNDER ON AND BLUNDER ON--IT IS HUMAN TO BLUNDER. + + +Are all the mammoths one or two hundred thousand years old, as Sir Charles +Lyell conjectured? It was stated, in the bygone, that the "diluvium" was +very old, on account of the absence of human remains, but since man's +remains have been found there, it is inferred that man is very ancient; +whereas, the truth is, the mammoth is _very recent_. In many instances +their bones are so fresh that they contain twenty-seven per cent. of +animal substance; in some instances the flesh is still upon their bones, +with their last meal in their stomachs. + +Mr. Boyd Dawkins has furnished us with a thrilling narrative of the +discovery of a mammoth in 1846, by Mr. Benkendorf, close to the mouth of +the Indigirka. This mammoth was disentombed during the great thaw of the +summer. The description is given in the following language: "In 1846 there +was unusually warm weather in the north of Siberia. Already in May unusual +rains poured over the moors and bogs; storms shook the earth, and the +streams carried not only ice to the sea, but also large tracts of land. We +steamed on the first day up the Indigirka, but there were no thoughts of +land; we saw around us only a sea of dirty brown water, and knew the river +only by the rushing and roaring of the stream. The river rolled against us +trees, moss, and large masses of peat, so that it was only with great +trouble and danger that we could proceed. At the end of the second day we +were only a short distance up the stream; some one had to stand with the +sounding-rod in hand continually, and the boat received so many shocks +that it shuddered to the keel. A wooden vessel would have been smashed. +Around us we saw nothing but the flooded land.... The Indigirka, here, had +torn up the land and worn itself a fresh channel, and when the waters sank +we saw, to our astonishment, that the old river-bed had become merely that +of an insignificant stream.... The stream rolled over and tore up the +soft, wet ground like chaff, so that it was dangerous to go near the +brink. While we were all quiet, we heard under our feet a sudden gurgling +and stirring, which betrayed the working of the disturbed water. Suddenly +our jagger, ever on the look-out, called loudly, and pointed to a singular +and unshapely object, which rose and sank.... Now we all hastened to the +spot on shore, had the boat drawn near, and waited until the mysterious +thing should again show itself. Our patience was tried, but at last a +black, horrible giant-like mass was thrust out of the water, and we beheld +a colossal elephant's head, armed with mighty tusks, with its long trunk +moving in the water in an unearthly manner, as though seeking for +something lost therein.... I beheld the monster hardly twelve feet from +me, with his half-open eyes yet showing the whites. It was still in good +preservation.... + +"Picture to yourself an elephant with a body covered with thick fur, about +thirteen feet in height and fifteen in length, with tusks eight feet long, +thick, and curving outward at their ends, a stout trunk of six feet in +length, colossal limbs of one and a half feet in thickness, and a tail +naked up to the end, which was covered with thick tufty hair. The animal +was fat and well grown; death had overtaken him in the fulness of his +powers. His parchment-like, large, naked ears lay turned up over the head; +about the shoulders and on the back he had stiff hair, about a foot in +length, like a mane. The long outer hair was deep brown and coarsely +rooted. The top of the head looked so wild and so penetrated with pitch +that it resembled the rind of an old oak tree. On the sides it was +cleaner, and under the outer hair there appeared everywhere a wool, very +soft, warm and thick, and of a fallow-brown color. The giant was well +protected against the cold. The whole appearance of the animal was +fearfully strange and wild. It had not the shape of our present elephants. +As compared with our Indian elephants, its head was rough, the brain-case +low and narrow, but the trunk and mouth were much larger. The teeth were +very powerful. Our elephant is an awkward animal, but compared with this +mammoth, it is an Arabian steed to a coarse, ugly dray horse. I had the +stomach separated and brought on one side. It was well filled, and the +contents instructive and well preserved. The principal were young shoots +of the fir and pine; a quantity of young fir cones, also in a chewed +state, were mixed with the moss." + +Mammoth bones are found in great abundance in the islands off the northern +coast of Siberia. The remains of the rhinoceros are also found. Pallas, in +1772, obtained from Wiljuiskoi, in latitude 64, a rhinoceros taken from +the sand in which it had been frozen. This carcass emitted an odor like +putrid flesh, part of the skin being covered with short, crisp wool and +with black and gray hairs. Professor Brandt, in 1846, extracted from the +cavities in the molar teeth of this skeleton a small quantity of +half-chewed pine leaves and coniferous wood. And the blood-vessels in the +interior of the head appeared filled, even to the capillary vessels, with +coagulated blood, which in many places still retained its original red +color. + +We find that Mr. Boyd Dawkins and Mr. Sanford assert that the cave-lion is +only a large variety of the existing lion--identical in species. Herodotus +says: "The camels in the army of Xerxes, near the mountains of Thessaly, +_were attacked by lions_." + +Sir John Lubbock, in his Prehistoric Times, page 293, says the cave-hyena +"is now regarded as scarcely distinguishable specifically from the _Hyna +crocuta_, or spotted hyena of Southern Africa," while Mr. Busk and M. +Gervais identify the _cave-bear_ with the _Ursus ferox_, or grizzly bear +of North America. What is the bearing of these facts on the question of +the antiquity of the remains found in the bone caverns? + +Do these facts justify men in carrying human remains, found along with the +remains of these animals in the caves, back to the remote period of one or +two hundred thousand years?--a long time, this, for flesh upon the bones +and food in the stomach to remain in a state of preservation. + +"So fresh is the ivory throughout Northern Russia," says Lyell, +_Principles, vol. 1, p. 183_, "that, according to Tilesius, thousands of +fossil tusks have been collected and used in turning." + +Mr. Dawkins says: "We are compelled to hold that the cave-lion which +preyed upon the mammoth, the woolly rhinoceros and musk-sheep in Great +Britain, is a mere geographical variety of the great carnivore that is +found alike in the tropical parts of Asia and throughout the whole of +Africa." Popular Science Review for 1869, p. 153. It has been customary to +speak of all these animals as "_the great extinct_ mammalia," and to +regard them all as much larger than existing animals of the same kind, but +three of the most important still exist, and the cave-lions, at least some +of the specimens, were smaller than the lion of the present. According to +Sir John Lubbock the "Irish elk, the elephants and the three species of +rhinoceros are, perhaps, the only ones which are absolutely extinct." +Prehistoric Times, p. 290. "Out of seventeen principal 'palolithic' +mammalia, ten, until recently, were regarded 'extinct;' but it is now +believed that the above-mentioned elk, elephants and rhinoceros are the +only extinct mammalia. Dr. Wilson affirms that skeletons of the Irish elk +have been found at Curragh, Ireland, in marshes, some of the bones of +which were in such fresh condition that the marrow is described as having +the appearance of fresh suet, and burning with a clear flame." + +Professor Agassiz admits the continuance of the Irish elk to the +fourteenth century to be "probable." It is certain that this elk continued +in Ireland down to what is claimed as the age of iron, and possibly in +Germany down to the twelfth century. It is also certain that it was a +companion of the mammoth and of the woolly rhinoceros. The aurochs, or +European bison, whose remains are found in the river gravel and the older +bone caves, is mentioned by Pliny and Seneca. They speak of it as existing +in their time; it is also named in the Niebelungen Lied. It existed in +Prussia as late as 1775, and is still found wild in the Caucasus. The +present Emperor of Russia has twelve herds, which are protected in the +forests of Lithuania. During the session of the International +Archological Congress at Stockholm, in 1874, the members of the body made +an excursion to the isle of Bjorko, in Lake Malar, near Stockholm, where +there is an ancient cemetery of two thousand tumuli. Within a few hundred +yards from this is the site of the ancient town. Several trenches were run +through this locality, and many relics obtained by the members of the +congress. On the occasion Dr. Stolpe, who was familiar with the previous +discoveries at this point, delivered a lecture on the island and its +remains. They all, he stated, belong to the second age of iron in Sweden, +and consisted of implements of iron, ornaments of bronze, and animal +bones; Kufic coins have been found, along with cowrie-shells, and silver +bracelets. The number of animal bones met with is immense, more than fifty +species being represented, and what is especially noteworthy, _the marrow +bones were all crushed or split_, just as in the paleolithic times. The +principal wild beasts were the lynx, the wolf, the fox, the beaver, the +elk, the _reindeer_, etc. Dr. Stolpe refers the formation of this +"pre-historic" city to "about the middle of the eighth century after +Christ," and says it was probably destroyed "about the middle of the +eleventh century." + +"During this period the reindeer existed in this part of Sweden." + +Recent scientific discovery demands that we should almost modernize the +animals we used to regard as belonging to a period of a hundred thousand +years ago. + +"Scientists have been addicted to unwise and inconsiderate haste in the +announcement of new theories touching alleged facts; they have blundered +repeatedly in their efforts to confound the Christian and set aside Moses. +No less than eighty theories touching that many facts and discoveries have +been developed during the period of fifty years, that were brought before +the Institute of France in 1806, and not one of them survives to-day." +Truly the history of scientific investigation reveals the same fallibility +of human nature that is known in the many errors found in the line of +theological investigation. Truth, in science and religion, stands true to +her God--_man alone deviates_. + + + + + +DRAPER'S CONFLICT BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE. + + +No one idea has produced a greater sensation among skeptics and +unbelievers than the idea of a conflict between science and Christianity. +The history of the affair reminds us of the ghost stories that frighten +people in their boyish days. There was, in truth, no foundation for the +sensation. Mr. Draper never intended that his work entitled "Conflict +between Religion and Science," should be construed to mean Conflict +between the Bible and Science, or between Christianity, as set forth by +the primitive Christians and science, but conflict between apostate +religion and science; or, rather, between corruptors of the ancient +religion and science. + +He says, "I have had little to say respecting the two great Christian +confessions, the protestant and the Greek churches. As to the latter, it +has never, since the restoration of science, arrayed itself in opposition +to the advancement of knowledge. On the contrary, it has always met it +with welcome. It has observed a reverential attitude to truth, from +whatever quarter it might come. Recognizing the apparent discrepancies +between its interpretations of revealed truth and the discoveries of +science, it has always expected that satisfactory explanations and +reconciliations would ensue, _and in this it has not been disappointed_." +Will all who read these lines take notice that Mr. Draper takes the +Christian's side in the above statement. "_In this it has not been +disappointed._" In what? Answer--Its expectation that satisfactory +explanations and reconciliations would follow the discoveries of science, +by means of which apparent discrepancies between the church's +interpretations of revealed truth and the discoveries of science would +disappear. Mr. Draper adds, "It would have been well for modern +civilization if the Roman church had done the same." He guards his readers +by the following: "In speaking of Christianity, reference is generally +made to the Roman church, partly because its adherents compose the +majority of Christendom, partly because its demands are the most +pretentious, and partly because it has commonly sought to enforce those +demands by the civil power. None of the protestant churches have ever +occupied a position so imperious, none have ever had such widespread +political influence. For the most part they have been averse to +constraint, and except in very few instances their opposition has not +passed beyond the exciting of theological odium." Preface, pp. 10, 11. + +On pages 215 and 216, speaking upon the great question of the proper +relations of Christianity and science, Mr. Draper says: "In the annals of +Christianity the most ill-omened day is that in which she separated +herself from science. She compelled Origen, at that time (A. D. 231) its +chief representative and supporter in the church, to abandon his charge in +Alexandria and retire to Csarea. In vain through many subsequent +centuries did her leading men spend themselves in, as the phrase then +went, 'drawing forth the internal juice and marrow of the scriptures for +the explaining of things.' Universal history from the _third_ to the +_sixteenth_ century shows with what result. The dark ages owe their +darkness to this fatal policy." + +The pure Christianity, as well as Christians of 231 years, are exonerated +by Mr. Draper. Unbeliever, will you remember this? Many unbelievers, like +drowning men catching at straws, have endeavored to make it appear that +Mr. Draper's book, entitled "Conflict Between Religion and Science," makes +a square fight between the Bible and science. So far is this from the +truth that, on the contrary, it does not even set up a square issue +between Protestantism and science; its issue lies between Roman Catholic +religion and science. Hear him: "Then has it, _in truth_, come to this, +that Roman Christianity and science are recognized by their respective +adherents as being absolutely incompatible; they can not exist together; +one must yield to the other; mankind must make its choice--it can not have +both. While such is, perhaps, the issue as regards Catholicism, a +reconciliation of the reformation with science is not only possible, but +would easily take place if the protestant churches would only live up to +their maxim taught by Luther and established by so many years of war. That +maxim is the right of private interpretation of the scriptures. It was the +foundation of intellectual liberty." (Did Luther say the foundation of +intellectual liberty?) But if a personal interpretation of the book of +Revelation is permissible, how can it be denied in the case of the book of +nature? In the misunderstandings that have taken place, we must ever bear +in mind the infirmities of men. The generations that immediately followed +the reformation may perhaps be excused for not comprehending the full +significance of cardinal principle, and for not on all occasions carrying +it into effect. When Calvin caused Servetus to be burnt he was animated, +not by the principles of the reformation, but by those of Catholicism, +from which he had not been able to emancipate himself completely. And when +the clergy of influential protestant confessions have stigmatized the +investigators of nature as infidels and atheists, the same may be said. +(No man should be called by a name that does not truthfully represent +him.) Now listen to Mr. Draper: "For Catholicism to reconcile itself to +science, there are formidable, perhaps insuperable obstacles in the way. +For protestantism to achieve that great result there are not."--_Conflict +Between Religion and Science_, pp. 363, 364. Thus Draper speaks for +himself. + + + + + +FACTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, OR WHAT CHRISTIANITY HAS DONE FOR +CANNIBALS. + + +The Fijians, a quarter of a century ago, were noted for cannibalism. The +following scrap of history may be of importance as a shadow to contrast +with the sunshine. It is taken from Wood's History of the Uncivilized +Races: + +The Fijians are more devoted to cannibalism than the New Zealanders, and +their records are still more appalling. A New Zealander has sometimes the +grace to feel ashamed of mentioning the subject in the hearing of an +European, whereas it is impossible to make a Fijian really feel that in +eating human flesh he has committed an unworthy act. He sees, indeed, that +the white man exhibits great disgust at cannibalism, but in his heart he +despises him for wasting such luxurious food as human flesh.... The +natives are clever enough at concealing the existence of cannibalism when +they find that it shocks the white men. An European cotton grower, who had +tried unsuccessfully to introduce the culture of cotton into Fiji, found, +after a tolerable long residence, that four or five human beings were +killed and eaten weekly. There was plenty of food in the place, pigs were +numerous, and fish, fruit and vegetables abundant. But the people ate +human bodies as often as they could get them, not from any superstitious +motive, but simply because they preferred human flesh to pork.... Many of +the people actually take a pride in the number of human bodies which they +have eaten. One chief was looked upon with great respect on account of his +feats of cannibalism, and the people gave him a title of honor. They +called him the Turtle-pond, comparing his insatiable stomach to the pond +in which turtles are kept; and so proud were they of his deeds, that they +even gave a name of honor to the bodies brought for his consumption, +calling them the "Contents of the Turtle-pond." ... One man gained a great +name among his people by an act of peculiar atrocity. He told his wife to +build an oven, to fetch firewood for heating it, and to prepare a bamboo +knife. As soon as she had concluded her labors her husband killed her, and +baked her in the oven which her own hands had prepared, and afterward ate +her. Sometimes a man has been known to take a victim, bind him hand and +foot, cut slices from his arms and legs, and eat them before his eyes. +Indeed, the Fijians are so inordinately vain that they will do anything, +no matter how horrible, in order to gain a name among their people; and +Dr. Pritchard, who knows them thoroughly, expresses his wonder that some +chief did not eat slices from his own limbs. + +"Cannibalism is ingrained in the very nature of the Fijian, and extends +through all classes of society. It is true that there are some persons who +have never eaten human flesh, but there is always a reason for it. Women, +for example, are seldom known to eat 'bakolo,' as human flesh is termed, +and there are a few men who have refrained from cannibalism through +superstition. Every Fijian has his special god, who is supposed to have +his residence in some animal. One god, for example, lives in a rat, +another in a shark, and so on. The worshiper of that god never eats the +animal in which his divinity resides, and as some gods are supposed to +reside in human beings, their worshipers never eat the flesh of man." + +Recent History Of The Same People In Brief. + +"In the Fiji islands, where half a century ago the favorite dish of food +was human flesh, there are at present eight hundred and forty-one chapels, +and two hundred and ninety-one other places where preaching is held, with +fifty-eight missionaries busily engaged in preparing the way for others. +The membership numbers twenty-three thousand two hundred and seventy-four +persons." _The Evangelist of January 29, 1880._ It is possible that some +infidel might have been literally eaten up had it not been for the +influence of the Bible. "According to the accounts of some of the older +chiefs, whom we may believe or not as we like, there was once a time when +cannibalism did not exist. Many years ago some strangers from a distant +land were blown upon the shores of Fiji, and received hospitably by the +islanders, who incorporated them into their own tribes, and made much of +them. But, in process of time, these people became too powerful, killed +the Fijian chiefs, took their wives and property, and usurped their +office." + +In the emergency the people consulted the priests, who said that the +Fijians had brought their misfortunes upon themselves. They had allowed +strangers to live, whereas "Fiji for the Fijians" was the golden rule, and +from that time every male stranger was to be killed and eaten, and every +woman taken as a wife. The only people free from this law were the +Tongans. + +The state of the Fijians is wonderfully changed--even an American infidel +may now visit those people without being flayed and roasted and devoured. + +"The Samoan islands have been entirely christianized. Out of a population +of forty thousand, thirty-five thousand are connected with Christian +churches. + +"In 1830 the native Christians in India, Burmah, and North and South +Ceylon numbered 57,000. Last October there were 460,000. Facts similar in +character might be given of Madagascar, South Africa and Japan." +_Evangelist._ What a curse (?) the Bible is to the poor heathen. It robs +them of their "long-pig," human flesh, as well as their cruel, murderous +habits, and curses them (?) with virtue and the hope of "HEAVEN." + + + + + +ARE WE SIMPLY ANIMALS? + + +What is man? The materialist says, "He is the highest order of the animal +kingdom, or an animal gifted with intelligence." If such be true, it may +be said with equal propriety, that animals are men without reason. Are +they? Does manhood consist in mere physical form? Can you find it in +simple physical nature? Man holds many things in his physical nature in +common with the animal; but is he, on this account, to be considered as a +mere animal? There are plants that seem to form a bridge over the chasm +lying between the vegetable and animal kingdoms. Are those plants animals +without sensation? Why not? What is the logical and scientific difference +between saying plants, which make the nearest approach to the animal are +animals without sensation, and saying animals are men without +intelligence? Let it be understood at all times, that if man is simply an +animal endowed with the gift of reason, an animal may be simply a +vegetable endowed with the gift of sensation. "The bodies of mere animals +are clothed with scales, feathers, fur, wool or bristles, which interpose +between the skin and the elements that surround and affect the living +animal." All these insensible protectors "ally animals more closely to the +nature of vegetables." + +"The body of a human being has a beautiful, thin, highly sensitive skin, +which is not covered with an insensitive, lifeless veil." Man's body is in +noble contrast with all mere animals. It is so formed that its natural +position is erect. "The eyes are in front; the ligaments of the neck are +not capable of supporting, for any considerable length of time, the head +when hanging down; the horizontal position would force the blood to the +head so violently that stupor would be the result. The mouth serves the +mind as well as the body itself. According to the most critical +calculation, the muscles of the mouth are so movable that it may pronounce +fifteen hundred letters." What a wonderful musical instrument. + +The mouth of the mere animal serves only physical purposes. + +Man turns his head from right to left, from earth to sky, from the slimy +trail of the crustacean in the ocean's bottom to the contemplation of the +innumerable stars in the heavens. The human body was created for the mind; +its structure is correlated with mind. The animal has a sentient life; man +an intelligent, reasoning nature. + +When animals are infuriated and trample beneath their feet everything that +lies in their way, we do not say they are _insane_, but _mad_. "Man is an +intelligent spirit," or mind, "served by an organism." We know that mind +exists by our consciousness of that which passes within us. The propriety +of the sayings of Descartes, "_I think, therefore I am_," rests upon the +consciousness that we are thinking beings. This intelligence is not +obtained by the exercise of any of the senses. It does not depend upon +external surroundings. Its existence is a fact of consciousness, of +certain knowledge, and hence a fact in mental science. + +We are continually conscious of the existence of the mind, which makes its +own operations the object of its own thought; that it should have no +existence is a contradiction in language. + +Experience teaches us that the materialistic theory of the existence of +the mind is utterly false. In an act of perception I distinguish the pen +in my hand, and the hand itself, from my mind which perceives them. This +distinction is a fact of the faculty of perception--a particular fact of a +particular faculty. But the general fact of a general distinction of which +this is only a special case, is the distinction of the _I_ and _not I_, +which belongs to the consciousness as the general faculty. He who denies +the contrast between mind-knowing and matter-known is dishonest, for it is +a fact of consciousness, and such can not be honestly denied. The facts +given in consciousness itself can not be honestly doubted, much less +denied. + +Materialists have claimed that mind is simply the result of the molecular +action of the brain. This theory is as unreal as Banquo's ghost--it will +not bear a moment's investigation. It is simply confounding the action of +the mind upon the brain with the mind itself. Every effect must have a +cause. When I make a special mental effort what is the cause lying behind +the effort? Is it the molecular action of the brain? I _will to_ make the +effort, and do it. Then will power lies behind brain action. But power is +a manifest energy; there is something lying behind it to which it belongs +as an attribute; what is it? Answer, _will_. But, where there is a _will_ +there must of a necessity be that which _wills_. What is it that _wills_ +to make a special mental effort--that lies away back "behind the throne" +and controls the helm? It is evidently the I, _myself_, the "inner man," +_the spirit_. On one occasion, when some of the disciples of the Nazarene +were sleepy, Jesus said to them, "The spirit indeed is willing, but the +flesh is weak." It is the spirit that _wills_ to make a special mental +effort. Here is the "_font_" of all our ideas. "What man knoweth the +things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?" 1 Cor., ii, 11. +_Will_, as an effect, belongs to the spirit of man, as _the cause_ lying +behind. Beyond this no man can trace this subject, short of crossing over +from the spirit of man to the invisible Father of spirits. The spirit of +man is a _wonderful intelligence_! "The body without the spirit is dead, +being alone." When we analyze the physical structure back to the germ and +sperm-cells we are brought face to face with the invisible builder. Call +it what you may, it still remains the same invisible architect, which, +being matter's master, built the organism. We live, and breathe; we die, +and cease breathing. Dead bodies do not breathe. Therefore, life lies +behind breath, and spirit behind life. So life and breath are both +effects, which find their ultimate or cause in _spirit_. This at once sets +aside all that materialists have said in order to show that spirit and +breath are one and the same. The original term, translated by the term +spirit has, in its history, away back in the past, a _physical_ currency. +The old-fashioned materialist or "soul-sleeper" finds his fort in this +fact. His entire aim is to get the people back to an old and obsolete +currency of the term "_pneuma_." If we lay aside words which were used in +a physical sense, in times gone by, we will not have many words to express +the ideas embraced in mental science. In ancient times "_pneuma_" +signified both mind and wind, or air. In later times it lost its physical +currency, and no longer signifies, in its general currency, breath or air. +The adjective, "_pneumatikos_," is _never used_ in a physical sense. It +came into use too late. + +We have many examples of old meanings passing away from words. +"_Sapientia_," in Latin originally meant only the power of tasting. At +present it means _wisdom_, _prudence_, _discretion_, _discernment_, _good +sense_, _knowledge_, _practical wisdom_, _philosophy_, _calmness_, +_patience_. The word "_sagacitas_," originally meant only the faculty of +_scenting_, now it means the power of seeing or perceiving anything +easily. In old literature we may read of the sagacity of dogs; keenness of +scent. But it is now sharpness of wit; keenness of perception, subtilty, +shrewdness, acuteness, penetration, ingenuity. The terms, "attentio," +"intentio," "comprehensio," "apprehensio," "penetratio," and understanding +are all just so many bodily actions transferred to the expression of +_mental energies_. There is just the same reason for giving to all these +terms their old, obsolete, physical currency that there is for giving to +pneuma, or spirit, the old obsolete currency of wind or air. You must ever +remember that it is the business of lexicographers in giving the history +of words, to set before you the first as well as the latest use of terms. +In strict harmony with all this Greenfield gives "_pneuma_" _thus_: + +1. Wind, air in motion, breathing, breath, expiration, respiration, +spirit, i. e. the human soul, that is, the vital principle in man, life. +Matthew xxvii, 50; Rev. xiii, 15. + +2. Of the rational soul, mind, that principle in man which thinks, feels, +desires, and wills. Matthew v, 3, 26, 41. + +3. Of the human soul after its departure from the body, a spirit, soul. +Acts xxiii, 8, 9; Hebrews xii, 23. + +4. Spc. Spirit, that is, temper, disposition, affections, feelings, +inclination, qualities of mind. + +5. Construed with "_mou_" and "_sou_" (_I_ and _thou_), it forms a +periphrasis for the corresponding personal pronoun. Mark ii, 8; Luke i, +47. A spirit, that is, A SIMPLE, SPIRITUAL, INCORPOREAL, INTELLIGENT +BEING. Spoken of God. John iv, 24. Of angels. Hebrews i, 14. Of evil +spirits, Matthew viii, 16; Mark ix, 20. A divine spirit, spoken of the +spiritual nature of Christ. 1 Corinthians xv, 45; 1 Peter iii, 18. Of the +Holy Spirit. Matthew iii, 16-28; John xv, 26; Acts i, 8; Romans ix, 1. + +Robinson, in his Lexicon, sums up the history of its use thus: + +1. Pneuma, from pneo, to breathe. A breathing, breath. + +1. Of the mouth or nostrils, a breathing, blast. The destroying power of +God. Isaiah xi, 4; Psalm xxxiii, 6. The breath. Revelations xi, 11. +"Breath of life." Genesis vi, 17; vii, 15-22. + +2. Breath of air. Air in motion, a breeze, blast, the wind. + +3. The spirit of man, that is, the vital spirit, life, soul. + +4. The rational spirit, mind, soul (Latin _animus_), generally opposed to +the body or animal (disposition) spirit. 1 Thessalonians v, 23; 1 +Corinthians xiv, 14. + +5. It implies will, council, purpose. Matthew xxvi, 41; Mark xiv, 38; Acts +xviii, 5; xix, 21; 1 Chronicles v, 26; Ezra i, 1. + +6. It includes the understanding, intellect. Mark ii, 8; Luke i, 80, and +ii, 40; 1 Corinthians ii, 11, 12; Exodus xxviii, 3; Job xx, 3; Isaiah +xxix, 24. + +7. A spirit, that is, a simple, incorporeal, immaterial being, possessing +higher capacities than man in his present state. Of created spirits, the +human spirit, soul, after its departure from the body and as existing in a +separate state. Hebrews xii, 23; that is, to the spirits of just men made +perfect. Robinson renders it thus: "To the spirits of the just advanced to +perfect happiness and glory." + +It is spoken of God in reference to his immateriality. John, iv, 24. Of +Christ in his exalted spiritual nature in distinction from his human +nature. In Hebrews, ix, 14, in contrast with perishable nature. "The +_eternal spirit_," Holy spirit, spirit of God.--_Robinson's Lexicon._ + +From all this it will be seen that it is impossible to limit the term +spirit to its ancient _physical_ currency. Our term _mind_ is, for two +reasons, a better word for its place in modern literature. First, it never +had a physical application. Second, the terms are used indifferently in +the New Testament when they relate to man. See Romans, i, 9 and vii, 25. +All spirits are _one_ in kind; in _character_ the difference lies; that +is, spirits are all _imperishable_. It is not in the nature of a spirit to +cease to be. If it is, then there is no imperishable nature that is +revealed to man. I submit for consideration the thought that there is no +difference in the final results between the man who denies the existence +of spirits altogether and the man who allows that spirits may cease to +exist. + +"We are cognizant of the existence of spirit by our direct consciousness +of feelings, desires and ideas, which are to us the most certain of all +realities."--_Carpenter._ + +"The body continually requires new materials and a continued action of +external agencies. But the mind, when it has been once called into +activity and has become stored with ideas, may remain active and may +develop new relations and combinations among these, after the complete +closure of the sensorial inlets by which new ideas can be excited 'ab +externo.' Such, in fact, is what is continually going on in the state of +dreaming.... The mind thus feeds upon the store of ideas which it has laid +up during the activity of the sensory organs, and those impressions which +it retains in its consciousness are working up into a never ending variety +of combinations and successions of ideas, thus affording new sources of +mental activity even to the very end of life."--_Carpenter._ + +In death the spirit returns to God, who gave it, retaining, doubtless, all +its store of ideas and all its own inherent activities, which will +continue while eternity endures. + + + + + +OUR RELATIONS TO THE ANCIENT LAW AND PROPHETS--WHAT ARE THEY? + + +The above questions can not be answered intelligently without a knowledge +of the character of the law, and of its relations to humanity, as well as +a knowledge of the relations of the ancient prophets. The law given at +Sinai as a "covenant," with all the laws contained in the "Book of the +Law," was political in character; that is to say, it pertained to a +community or nation. Such law is _always_ political in its character. The +ancient law pertained to the nation of the Jews. It was given to them as a +community, and to no other people. Moses said, "And the Lord spake unto +you out of the midst of fire: Ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no +similitude; only ye heard a voice. And he declared unto you his covenant, +which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote +them upon two tables of stone." Deut. iv, 12, 13. "And the Lord said unto +Moses, Write thou these words; for after the _tenor_ of these words I have +made a covenant _with thee_ and _with Israel_.... And he wrote upon the +tables _the words of the covenant_, the ten commandments." Exodus xxxiv, +27, 28. "The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord _made +not_ this covenant with our fathers, but with us, who _are_ all of us here +alive this day." Deut. v, 2, 3. "Behold, I have taught you statutes and +judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in +the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep, therefore, and do them; for +this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, +which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is +a wise and understanding people. For what nation is there so great who +hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we +call upon him for? And what nation is there so great that hath statutes +and judgments so righteous as all this law which I set before you this +day." Deut. iv, 5, 8. + +The law or covenant, as written upon the two tables of stone, is given in +full in one place, and only one, in all the book of the law, and I will +now transcribe it from the fifth chapter of Deut. Here it is: "I am the +Lord, thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house +of bondage; thou shalt have none other gods before me; thou shalt not make +thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven +above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath +the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them or serve them, for I, +the Lord, thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers +upon the children unto the third and fourth _generation_ of them that hate +me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my +commandments. + +"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord, thy God, in vain; for the Lord +will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. + +"Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord, thy God, hath commanded +thee. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh is +the Sabbath of the Lord, thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work; thou, +nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor +thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy +gates, that thy man-servant and maid-servant may rest as well as thou; and +remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord, +thy God, brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched +out arm; THEREFORE, THE LORD, THY GOD, COMMANDED THEE TO KEEP THE SABBATH +DAY. + +"Honor thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; +that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee in the +land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. + +"Thou shalt not kill. + +"Neither shalt thou commit adultery. + +"Neither shalt thou steal. + +"Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor. + +"Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet +thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, +his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's. + +"These words the Lord spake unto _all your assembly_ in the mount, out of +the midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick darkness, with a +great voice; and he _added no more_. And _he wrote them in two tables of +stone_, and delivered them unto me." + +This is the covenant as it was written upon the tables of stone. It is, by +its facts, limited to the Jews, for they are the only people who were ever +delivered from bondage in Egypt. The abrogation of this covenant is +clearly presented in the following language, found in Zechariah, the +eleventh chapter and tenth verse: "And I took my staff, even Beauty, and +cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with _all +the people_. And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock +that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord. And I said unto +them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they +weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver." This language had its +fulfillment in the sale which Judas Iscariot made of his Lord and the +abrogation of the ancient covenant or law. + +The prophets were not confined to the kingdom of Israel, or to any one +kingdom, nor yet to any one dispensation. + +They bore the word of the Lord to all the nations, as we learn from such +language as this: "The burden of the word of the Lord to Ninevah, to +Sidon, to Tyre, to Idumea, to Babylon, to Samaria, to Egypt," and to many +others. It is very remarkable that no such latitude or longitude of +relationships belongs to the ancient law. It was confined to the +Israelites. + +The Heavenly Father spake not to the ancients by his Son, but by the +prophets. And much of that which they spake pertained to our own +dispensation and to our own religion. + +Much, very much, of that which they gave lies in the very foundation of +our religion. We should always distinguish, _carefully_, between the Law +and the prophets, and between these two and the psalms, remembering, +however, that prophesy belongs also to many of the psalms. The abrogated +covenant, or law, that was done away, was written upon stones. It, with +all the laws which were after its _tenor_, was supplanted by the law of +Christ. It was added because of transgression _till Christ, _"the seed," +should come. When he came it expired by limitation, and through his +authority the neighborly restrictions or limitations were taken off from +moral precepts, which were re-enacted by him. + + + + + +THE FUNERAL SERVICES OF THE NATIONAL LIBERAL LEAGUE. + + +The decent members of the Liberal League, who formed it to express their +convictions, and who withdrew and formed a rival League when they found +that the old organization had gone over to the defense of indecency, who +gave to the League all the character it had, and who had great hopes at +one time of destroying the influence of the preachers of the Gospel of +Christ, and thereby ridding our country of that terrible pest called the +Bible, have given up their name. Their "priests" have adopted the +following arraignment of their old organization, a legitimate child of +their own: + +"Voted that, in the judgment of this Board, the name 'National Liberal +League' has become so widely and injuriously associated in the public mind +with attempts to repeal the postal laws prohibiting the circulation of +obscene literature by mail, with the active propagandism of demoralizing +and licentious social theories, and with the support of officials and +other public representatives who are on good grounds believed to have been +guilty of gross immoralities, that it has been thereby unfitted for use by +any organization which desires the support of the friends of 'natural +morality.' " + +Thus the child went into a far country and fed among swine, and, failing +to come to itself and return to its father's house, the old gentleman +disinherited it, _once_ and forever. A younger son, however, is christened +"Liberal Union," and whether it will remain at home to take care of the +old man in his dotage remains to be seen. + + + + + +HUXLEY'S PARADOX. + + +"The whole analogy of natural operations furnish so complete and crushing +an argument against the intervention of any but what are called secondary +causes, in the production of all the phenomena of the universe, that, in +view of the intimate relations of man and the rest of the living world, +and between the forces exerted by the latter and all other forces, I can +see no reason for doubting that all are co-ordinate terms of nature's +great progression, from formless to formed, from the inorganic to the +organic, from blind force to conscious intellect and will." _Huxley's +Evidence of Man's Place in Nature_, London, 1864, p. 107. + +A writer in the _Spectator_ charged Professor Huxley with Atheism. The +professor replies, in the number of that paper for February 10, 1866, +thus: "I do not know that I care very much about popular odium, so there +is no great merit in saying that if I really saw fit to deny the existence +of a God I should certainly do so for the sake of my own intellectual +freedom, and be the honest Atheist you are pleased to say I am. As it +happens, however, I can not take this position with honesty, inasmuch as +it is, and always has been, a favorite tenet that Atheism is as absurd, +logically speaking, as Polytheism." In the same sheet, he says: "The +denying the possibility of miracles seems to me quite as unjustifiable as +Atheism." Is Huxley in conflict with Huxley? + + + + + +THE TRIUMPHING REIGN OF LIGHT. + + +The next psychic cycle, it seems to me, will witness a synthesis of +thought and faith, a recognition of the fact that it is impossible for +reason to find solid ground that is not consecrated ground; that all +philosophy and all science belong to religion; that all truth is a +revelation of God; that the truths of written revelation, if not +intelligible to reason, are nevertheless consonant with reason; and that +divine agency, instead of standing removed from man by infinite intervals +of time and space, is, indeed, the true name of those energies which work +their myriad phenomena in the natural world around us. This +consummation--at once the inspiration of a fervent religion and the +prophecy of the loftiest science--is to be the noontide reign of wedded +intellect and faith, whose morning rays already stream far above our +horizon.--_Winchell._ Re. and Sci. p. 84. + + ------------------------------------- + +"Experience proves to us that the matter which we regard as inert and +dead, assumes action, intelligence, and life, when it is combined in a +certain way."--_Atheist._ + +"But how does a germ come to live?"--_Deist._ + +"Life is organization with feeling."--_Atheist._ + +"But that you have these two properties from the motion of" dead atoms, or +matter alone, it is impossible to give any proof; and if it can not be +proved, why affirm it?

(This book was + produced from scanned images of public domain material from + the Google Print project.) + + + +A WORD FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG + + +This file should be named 28126-8.txt or 28126-8.zip. + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + + + http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/8/1/2/28126/ + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one -- the old editions will be +renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no one +owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and +you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission +and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the +General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and +distributing Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works to protect the Project +Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered +trademark, and may not be used if you charge for the eBooks, unless you +receive specific permission. If you do not charge anything for copies of +this eBook, complying with the rules is very easy. You may use this eBook +for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, +performances and research. They may be modified and printed and given away +-- you may do practically _anything_ with public domain eBooks. +Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial +redistribution. + + + +THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE + + +_Please read this before you distribute or use this work._ + +To protect the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} mission of promoting the free +distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work (or +any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project Gutenberg"), +you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +License (available with this file or online at +http://www.gutenberg.org/license). + + +Section 1. + + +General Terms of Use & Redistributing Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works + + +1.A. + + +By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic work, +you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to and accept all the +terms of this license and intellectual property (trademark/copyright) +agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all the terms of this +agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy all copies of +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee +for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic work +and you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, you may +obtain a refund from the person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set +forth in paragraph 1.E.8. + + +1.B. + + +"Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be used on or +associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be +bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few things that you can +do with most Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works even without complying +with the full terms of this agreement. See paragraph 1.C below. There are +a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works if you +follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below. + + +1.C. + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" or +PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project +Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the +collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual +work is in the public domain in the United States and you are located in +the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying, +distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on +the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of +course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} mission of +promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project +Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for +keeping the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} name associated with the work. You can +easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the +same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License when you +share it without charge with others. + + +1.D. + + +The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you +can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant +state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of +your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before +downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating +derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work. +The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of +any work in any country outside the United States. + + +1.E. + + +Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg: + + +1.E.1. + + +The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access +to, the full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License must appear prominently whenever +any copy of a Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work (any work on which the phrase +"Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" +is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or +distributed: + + + This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with + almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away + or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License + included with this eBook or online at http://www.gutenberg.org + + +1.E.2. + + +If an individual Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic work is derived from the +public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with +permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and +distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or +charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the +phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you +must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 +or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9. + + +1.E.3. + + +If an individual Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic work is posted with the +permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply +with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed +by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project +Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License for all works posted with the permission of the +copyright holder found at the beginning of this work. + + +1.E.4. + + +Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License +terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any +other work associated with Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}. + + +1.E.5. + + +Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this electronic +work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying +the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or immediate +access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License. + + +1.E.6. + + +You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed, +marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word +processing or hypertext form.

Royalty payments + should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg + Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, + "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary + Archive Foundation." + + You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies + you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he + does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} License. + You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the + works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and + all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} works. + + You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of + any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the + electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of + receipt of the work. + + You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free + distribution of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} works. + + +1.E.9. + + +If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic +work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this +agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from both the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael Hart, the owner of the +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in +Section 3 below. + + +1.F. + + +1.F.1. + + +Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to +identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain +works in creating the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} collection. Despite these +efforts, Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works, and the medium on which they +may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, +incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright +or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk +or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot +be read by your equipment. + + +1.F.2. + + +LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES -- Except for the "Right of +Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for +damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE +NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH +OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE +FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT +WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, +PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY +OF SUCH DAMAGE. + + +1.F.3. + + +LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND -- If you discover a defect in this +electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund +of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to +the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a +physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. +The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect +to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the +work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose +to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in +lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a +refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem. + + +1.F.4. + + +Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in +paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + + +1.F.5. + + +Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the +exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or +limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state +applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make +the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state +law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement +shall not void the remaining provisions. + + +1.F.6. + + +INDEMNITY -- You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark +owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and +any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution +of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs +and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from +any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of +this or any Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work, (b) alteration, modification, or +additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} work, and (c) any Defect +you cause. + + +Section 2. + + + Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} + + +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic +works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including +obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the +efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks +of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance +they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}'s goals and ensuring +that the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} collection will remain freely available for +generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} and future generations. To learn more about the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations +can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at +http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. + + + Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of +Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. +The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. +Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. Contributions to the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full +extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. +S. Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809 North +1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. + + + Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive + Foundation + + +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread +public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the +number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed +in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment +including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are +particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. +Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable +effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these +requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not +received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or +determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have +not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against +accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us +with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any +statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the +United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods +and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including +checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please +visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. + + + General Information About Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works. + + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with +anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} eBooks are often created from several printed editions, +all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright +notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance +with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook +number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed +(zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the +old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + + http://www.gutenberg.org + + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}, including how +to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, +how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email +newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + + + + + +***FINIS*** +

From this definition you discover +that a myth is <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">always</span></em> a counterfeit, and as such always appears +in evidence in favor of something more or less remote, +that is true. Now, if the Bible had a mythical origin, it sustains +some analogy to something found in the mythical or fictitious +and fanciful narratives concerning the gods, and is +therefore the myth of a myth; the counterfeit of a counterfeit. +If such be the truth in the case, where do we find the +origin of the myths from which <span class="tei tei-q">“Bible myths”</span> have descended? +Is it found in the true God presiding over the elements +of nature and the destinies of men, as well as the events +of creation and providence? Or, can it be possible that we +have many counterfeits <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">without a genuine</span></em>? Many myths sustaining +no analogy, either near or remote, to anything real? +It is an absurdity, destructive of the term employed, because +<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">myths</span></em> cease to be <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">myths</span></em> without some near or remote relation to +realities. They <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">must</span></em> sustain some analogy to something real. +And <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">counterfeits</span></em> also cease to be <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">counterfeits</span></em> when it is shown +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page122">[pg 122]</span><a name="Pg122" id="Pg122" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +that they sustain no relation, through analogy or likeness, to +anything that is genuine. In the mythical systems of olden +times we have, in the midst of a vast deal of false and fanciful +narrative concerning subordinate and secondary gods, evidence +of a supreme God presiding over all things; and the +secondary gods performing many things which belonged to +the province of the <span class="tei tei-q">“Almighty One,”</span> with many degrading, +vile and corrupting habits. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +A letter written by Maximus, a Numidian, to Augustin, +reads thus: <span class="tei tei-q">“Now, that there is a sovereign God, who is +without beginning, and who, without having begotten anything +like unto Himself, is, nevertheless, the Father and the +former of all things, what man can be gross and stupid +enough to doubt? He it is of whom, under different names, +we adore the eternal power extending through every part of +the world, thus honoring separately by different sorts of worship +what may be called His several members, we adore Him +entirely. May those subordinate gods preserve you under +whose names, and by whom all we mortals upon earth adore +the common Father of gods and men.”</span> In this letter we +have a clear presentation of the mythical system concerning +the ancient gods, and also the <span class="tei tei-q">“analagous relation”</span> to the +<span class="tei tei-q">“Master God.”</span> Each god having his particular dominion +over place or passion, appears before us as a representative +of the supreme, or <span class="tei tei-q">“Master God;”</span> and by worshiping each +member or God they claimed to adore entirely the <span class="tei tei-q">“common +Father of gods and men.”</span> Augustin answers, In your public +square there are <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">two statues</span></em> of Mars, one naked, the other +armed; and close by the figure of a man who, with three +fingers advanced towards Mars, holds in check that divinity +so dangerous to the whole town. With regard to what you +say of such gods being portions of the only <span class="tei tei-q">“true God,”</span> I +take the liberty you gave me to warn you not to fall into such +a sacrilege; for that only God, of whom you speak, is doubtless +He who is acknowledged by the whole world, and concerning +whom, as some of the ancients have said, the ignorant +agree with the learned. Now, will you say that Mars, whose +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page123">[pg 123]</span><a name="Pg123" id="Pg123" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +strength is represented by an inanimate man, is a portion of +that God? That is to say, the dead statue controls Mars, and +Mars is a subordinate god representing the infinite God, and +is, therefore, a part of that God. Augustin adds, Not the +Pantheon and all the temples consecrated to the inferior gods, +nor even the temples consecrated to the twelve greater gods +prevented <span class="tei tei-q">“Deus Optimus Maximus,”</span> God most good, most +great, from being acknowledged throughout the empire. +Voltaire says, <span class="tei tei-q">“In spite of all the follies of the people who +venerated secondary and ridiculous gods, and in spite of the +Epicurians, who in reality acknowledged none, it is verified +that in all times the magistrates and wise adored one sovereign +God.”</span> Secondary gods were <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">myths</span></em>, counterfeits, sustaining +the <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">relation</span></em> of counterfeits. The ancients attributed their +own passions to the <span class="tei tei-q">“Master God,”</span> and had subordinate gods +representing passions. They also had a god for each part of +His dominion; and these gods they called members of the +true God, and claimed to worship Him, by worshiping all the +members or gods. Mars was the god of war; Bacchus was the +god of drunkenness. They had a god for this and a god for +that. The ancient pagans seemed to think that infinite divisibility +belonged to the <span class="tei tei-q">“true God,”</span> for they distinguished +between passions, and divided up the universe among the gods +until they had it crammed full of subordinate and ridiculous +gods, each one a member of Jehovah, and each member a part +of the great mythical system. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Now, in order to establish the proposition that our religion +is of mythical origin, it is necessary to show, first, that the +Bible was written this side of or during the age of myths, and, +having done this, it is necessary to show that the Hebrew +people were a mythical people; neither of which can be accomplished. +It will not be amiss to present in this connection +a statement given by Justin to the Greeks. He says: <span class="tei tei-q">“Of +all your teachers, whether sages, poets, historians, philosophers, +or law-givers, by far the oldest, as the Greek historians show +us, was Moses.... For in the times of Ogyges and +Inachus, whom some of your poets have supposed to have +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page124">[pg 124]</span><a name="Pg124" id="Pg124" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +been earth-born—that is, to have sprung from the soil, and +hence one of the oldest inhabitants—<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">the aborigines</span></em>, Moses is +mentioned as the leader and ruler of the Jewish nation.”</span> He +is mentioned as a very ancient and time-honored prince in the +Athenian, Attic and Grecian histories. Polemon, in his first +book of Hellenics, mentions Moses as the leader and ruler of +the Jewish nation. Ptolemæus, in his history of Egypt, bears +the same testimony. Apion, an Egyptian writer, in his book +against the Jews, says <span class="tei tei-q">“Moses led them.”</span> Dr. Shaw, a modern +traveler, says the inhabitants of Corondel, on the eastern +side of the Red Sea, to this day preserve the remembrance of +the deliverance of the children of Israel from their bondage +in Egypt. Diodorus, the most renowned Greek historian, who +employed thirty years epitomizing the libraries, and traveled +over Asia and Europe for the sake of great accuracy, who +wrote forty volumes of history, says he learned from the +Egyptian priests that Moses was an ancient law-giver. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +It seems to us that, no sane man, who is acquainted with the +ancient mythicals, can regard the religion of the Bible as a +child of mythical descent. It is as deadly in its influence +upon those myths, and all mythical worship, as it could be +made by an infinite mind. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Voltaire says <span class="tei tei-q">“the character of the mythical gods is ridiculous;”</span> +we will add, it is ridiculous in the extreme. Listen—Hesiod, +in his theogony, says: <span class="tei tei-q">“Chronos, the son of Ouranos, +or Saturn, son of Heaven, in the beginning slew his father, +and possessed himself of his rule, and, being seized with a +panic lest he should suffer in the same way, he preferred devouring +his children, but Curetes, a subordinate god, by craft, +conveyed Jupiter away in secret and afterwards bound his +brother with chains, and divided the empire, Jupiter receiving +the air, and Neptune the deep, and Pluto Hades.”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Pros-er-pi-ne, Mella-nip-pe, Neptune, Pluto and Jupiter +are all set forth in the mythical writings as adulterers. +Jupiter was regarded as more frequently involved in that +crime, being set down as guilty in many instances. For the +love of Sem-e-le, it is said that he assumed wings and proved +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page125">[pg 125]</span><a name="Pg125" id="Pg125" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +his own unchastity and her jealousy. These are some of the +exploits of the sons of Saturn. Hercules was celebrated by +his three nights, sung by the poets for his successful labors. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The son of Jupiter slew the Lion, and destroyed the many-headed +Hydra; was able to kill the fleet man-eating birds, +and brought up from hades the three-headed dog, Cerberus; +effectually cleansed the Augean stable from its refuse; killed +the bulls and stag whose nostrils breathed fire; slew the +poisonous serpent and killed Ach-e-lò-us. The guest-slaying +Bu-sí-ris was delighted with being stunned by the cymbals of +the Sat-yrs, and to be conquered with the love of women; and +at last, being unable to take the cloak off of Nessus, he +kindled his own funeral pile and died. Such are specimens of +the ancient myths. Their character is such as to leave an impassible +gulf between them and the character of the God +revealed in our religion. No development theory, seeking +the origin of our religion in the old mythical system, can +bridge across this chasm. It is as deep and broad as the distance +between the antipodes. There is no analogy between +these counterfeits or myths and the <span class="tei tei-q">“true God,”</span> save that remote +power of God which is divided up and parceled out +among them. Their morals were the worst. The whole +mythical system is simply one grand demonstration of human +apostacy from the <span class="tei tei-q">“true God.”</span> Homer introduces Zeus in +love, and bitterly complaining and bewailing himself, and +plotted against by the other gods. He represents the gods as +suffering at the hands of men. Mars and Venus were +wounded by Di-o-me-de. He says, <span class="tei tei-q">“Great Pluto's self the +stinging arrow felt when that same son of Jupiter assailed +him in the very gates of hell, and wrought him keenest +anguish. Pierced with pain, to the high Olympus, to the +courts of Jupiter groaning he came. The bitter shaft remained +deep in his shoulder fixed, and grieved his soul.”</span> In the +mythical system the gods are not presented as creators or first +causes. Homer says, They were in the beginning generated +from the waters of the ocean, and thousands were added by +deifying departed heroes and philosophers. The thought of +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page126">[pg 126]</span><a name="Pg126" id="Pg126" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +one supreme Intelligence, the <span class="tei tei-q">“God of Gods,”</span>, runs through +all the system of myths. It is found anterior to the myths, +and, therefore, could not have had its origin with them. The +character ascribed to our God, in our scriptures, has no place +among the ancient myths. They hold the <span class="tei tei-q">“Master God”</span> +before us only in connection with power, being altogether +ignorant of His true character. They even went so far as to +attribute much to Him that was ridiculous. One of the +ancients said, <span class="tei tei-q">“The utmost that a man can do is to attribute +to the being he worships his imperfections and impurities, +magnified to infinity, it may be, and then become worse by +their reflex action upon his own nature.”</span> This was verified in +the ancient mythical religion, without exception, and without +doubt. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +<span class="tei tei-q">“The character of all the gods was simply human character +extended in all its powers, appetites, lusts and passions. +Scholars say there is no language containing words that express +the Scriptural ideas of holiness and abhorrence of sin, +except those in which the Scriptures were given, or into which +they have been translated. These attributes must be known +in order to salvation from sin, so God revealed Himself and +gave the world a pure religion, as a standard of right and +wrong, and guide in duty, and rule of life.”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The history of the ancient nations of the earth gives a +united testimony that their original progenitors possessed a +knowledge of the one true and living God, who was worshiped +by them, and believed to be an infinite, self-existent +and invisible spirit. This notion was never entirely extinguished +even among the idolatrous worshipers. Greek and +Latin poets were great corrupters of theology, yet in the +midst of all their Gods there is still to be found, in their writings, +the notion of one supreme in power and rule, whom they +confound with Jupiter. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The age of myths began with the tenth generation after the +flood. The evidence of this is given by Plato from one of the +ancient poets in these words: <span class="tei tei-q">“It was the generation <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">then the +tenth</span></em>, of men endowed with speech, since forth the flood had +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page127">[pg 127]</span><a name="Pg127" id="Pg127" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +burst upon the men of former times, and Kronos, Japetus and +Titan reigned, whom men of Ouranos proclaimed the noblest +sons, and named them so, because of men <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">endowed with gift +of speech</span></em>, they were the first,”</span> that is to say, they were orators, +<span class="tei tei-q">“and others for their strength, as Heracles and Perseus, +and others for their art. Those to whom either the subjects +gave honor, or the rulers themselves <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">assuming it</span></em>, obtained the +name, some from fear, others from reverence. Thus Antinous, +through the benevolence of your ancestors toward their subjects, +came to be regarded as a god. But those who came +after adopted the worship without examination.”</span> So testifies +one who was schooled in philosophy. Do you say there are +points of similitude between the Bible religion and the mythical? +It would be strange if there were none, seeing that the +mythical is truly what the term signifies, a counterfeit upon +the genuine, or Biblical. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The points of disagreement, however, are such as to demonstrate +the fact that the ancient mythical people knew not the +character of the Being, whom they conceived to be the <span class="tei tei-q">“God +of Gods and the Father of Gods and men.”</span> Those who confound +the Bible with the ancient myths upon the score of the +analogy that exists between it and the myths, remind me of a +very learned gentleman with whom I was once walking around +an oat field, when he remarked, <span class="tei tei-q">“<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">there</span></em> is a very fine piece of +wheat.”</span> The man had been brought up in an eastern city, and +was unable to distinguish between oats and wheat. I knew a +gentleman who asked a man, standing by the side of an old-fashioned +flax-break, what he thought it was used for? The +man took hold of the handle, lifted it up and let it down a few +times, and said: <span class="tei tei-q">“It looks like it might be used to chop up +sausage meat.”</span> It is very natural for us to draw comparisons, +and when we do not make ourselves familiar with things and +their uses, we are very liable to be led into error by a few +points of similitude. All the infidels with whom I have become +acquainted look upon the Bible like the man looked upon +the flax-break, and like the man looked upon the oat field. If +one had looked upon the flax-break who was familiar with it, +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page128">[pg 128]</span><a name="Pg128" id="Pg128" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +he never could have dreamed of chopping sausage meat; and +if the other had been familiar with wheat and oats, as they present +themselves to the eye in the field in the month of June, +he never would have called the oats wheat. And if any sane +man will make himself familiar with both the Bible and the +old system of myths and mythical worship, he will never confound +the two. There are a thousand things, very different in +character and origin, which have points of similitude. But +similitude never proves identity short of completeness. While +the analogy between the ancient mythical system of gods and +their worship and the true God and His worship is restricted +to power and intelligence, there exists a contrast between them +deep as heaven is high and broad as the earth in point of moral +character, virtue, and every ennobling and lovable attribute. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +There is an old myth in the Vedas—a god called <span class="tei tei-q">“Chrishna.”</span> +The Vedas claim that he is in the form of a man; that he is +black; that he is dressed in flowers and ribbons; that he is +the father of a great many gods. It is surprising to see the +eagerness with which some men bring up <span class="tei tei-q">“Chrishna”</span> in comparison +with the Greek term <span class="tei tei-q">“Christos”</span>—Christ, and confound +the two. The words are entirely different, save in a +jingle of sound. They are no more alike than the terms +<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">catechist</span></em>—one who instructs by questions and answers, and +the term catechu—a dry, brown astringent extract. We could +give many such examples in the history of unbelievers and +their war upon the Bible, but this must suffice for the present. +The truth is this: such men, as a general rule, neither understand +the Bible in its teachings and character, nor the ancient +mythical system. In it Jupiter, among the Romans, and +throughout every language, appears before us as the <span class="tei tei-q">“Father +of Gods and men”</span>—<span class="tei tei-q">“the God of gods,”</span> the <span class="tei tei-q">“Master of the +gods.”</span> Voltaire says: It is false that Cicero, or any other +Roman, ever said that it did not become the majesty of the +empire to acknowledge a Supreme God. Their Jupiter, the +Zeus of the Greeks and the Jehovah of the Phonecians, was +always considered as the master of the secondary gods. He +adds: But is not Jupiter, the master of all the gods, a word +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page129">[pg 129]</span><a name="Pg129" id="Pg129" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +belonging to every nation, from the Euphrates to the Tiber? +Among the first Romans it was <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Jov</span></span>, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Jovis</span></span>; +among the Greeks, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Zeus</span></span>; among the Phonecians and Syrians and +Egyptians, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">Jehovah</span></span>. The last term is the Hebrew scriptural name of +God—denoting <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">permanent being</span></em>—in perfect keeping with the +Bible title or descriptive appellation, <span class="tei tei-q">“<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-variant: small-caps">I am that I am</span></span>.”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The ancient worshipers of the gods had lost all but the +name, <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">power</span></em> and relation, which they ever knew of Jehovah. +And they could do no more than clothe Jupiter with their own +imperfections and impurities—and then place him above all +the gods; it was necessary for them to view him as excelling +in all the characteristics of the secondary gods. And having +attributed to the gods all they knew of human passions and +corruptions, they clothed Jupiter himself with more villainy +and corruption than belonged to any other god. In this was +the great blasphemous sacrilege of ancient idolatry. They +thus demonstrated their own apostacy; and the fact that their +system of gods was a counterfeit, a mythical system. They +were destitute of any standard of right and wrong, having no +conceptions of the divine character which were not drawn +from their own imperfect and corrupt lives. The divine +character, as revealed in the revelation of Christ, and presented +to us as God manifest in the flesh, is at once the very +opposite of the characters given in the myths. The distance +between the two is the distance between the lowest degradation +of God-like power exercised in the lowest passions, and +the sublimity of Heaven's own spotless life. I love the religion +of the Scriptures, because it restores to the race the lost +knowledge of God and the additional life of Jesus—the only +perfect model known in the history of the race. It is the +life of God manifested in the flesh; make it <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">your own</span></em>, and it +will save you. Mr. English, an American infidel, said: <span class="tei tei-q">“Far +be it from me to reproach the meek and compassionate, the +amiable Jesus, or to attribute to him the mischiefs occasioned +by his followers.”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +It is now conceded that Jesus Christ was <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">no myth</span></em> by all +the great minds in unbelief. He lived. We love his life, +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page130">[pg 130]</span><a name="Pg130" id="Pg130" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +because all who would rob Him of His authority are compelled +to speak well of it. Rousseau, another infidel, says: <span class="tei tei-q">“It is +impossible that he whose history the gospel records can be +but a man,”</span> adding, <span class="tei tei-q">“Does he speak in the tone of an enthusiast, +or of an ambitious sectary? What mildness! What +purity in his manners! What touching favor in his instructions! +What elevation in his maxims! What presence of +mind! What ingenuity, and what justice in his answers! +What government of his passions! What prejudice, blindness +or ill faith must that be which dares to compare Socrates +with the Son of Mary!</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +<span class="tei tei-q">“What a difference between the two! Socrates, dying without +a pain, without disgrace, easily sustains his part to the +last. The death of Socrates, philosophizing with his friends, +is the mildest that could be desired. That of Jesus, expiring +in torments, injured, mocked, cursed by all the people, is the +most horrible that can be feared. Socrates, taking the impoisoned +cup, blesses him who presents it to him with tears. +Jesus, in the midst of a frightful punishment, prays for his +enraged executioners. Yes, if the life and death of Socrates +are those of a wise man, the life and death of Jesus are those +of a God.”</span> If such be the model, the pattern, the example +which I am to follow, let me live and die a Christian. I love +the religion of Christ, because its character compels its +enemies to speak thus of it. I love it because of its practical +influence in elevating all into the moral image of Christ. I +love it because it saves men through its influence from +abominable sins and consequent sorrows that would tear up +the hearts of thousands. I love it because it is the power of +God to save the soul. I love it because it leads men into +communion and fellowship with all the good.

I will, however, mention +several cases as samples. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +1. The adaptation of the covering of animals to the climates +in which they live. Northern animals have thicker +and warmer coats of fur or hair than Southern ones. And +here it should be remarked that man, the only creature +capable of clothing himself, is the only one that is not clothed +by nature. Singular discrimination and care indeed for non-intelligence! +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +2. The adaptation of animals to the elements in which +they live, the fish to the water, other animals to the air. +Would not an unintelligent energy or power be as likely to +form the organs of a fish for air as for water? +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +3. The necessity which man has for sustenance, and the +supply of that necessity by nature. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Here let it be noted how many things must act in unison +to produce the necessary result. The earth must nourish the +seed, the sun must warm it, the rain must moisten it, and +man must have the strength to cultivate it, and the organs to +eat it, and the stomach to digest it, and the blood-vessels to +circulate it, and so on. Is it credible that all these things +should <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">happen</span></em> without design? +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +4. The pre-adaptation of the infant to the state of things +into which it enters at birth. The eye is exactly suited to the +light, the ear to sound, the nose to smell, the palate to taste, +the lungs to the air. How is it possible to see no design in +this pre-adaptation, so curious, so complicated in so many +particulars? +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +5. The milk of animals suitable for the nourishment of +their young, provided just in season, provided without contrivance +on the part of the parent, and sought for without +instruction or experience on the part of its offspring! <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">and all by +chance!!</span></em> +</p> + +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page132">[pg 132]</span><a name="Pg132" id="Pg132" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +6. The different sexes. In this case, as in the rest, there +is perfect adaptation, which displays evident design. And +there is more. What, I ask, is there <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">in nature</span></em> to cause a +difference in sexes? Why are not all either males or females? +or, rather, a compound? This case, then, I consider not only +an evidence of design, but likewise an evidence of the special +and continued <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">volition</span></em> of the Creator. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +7. The destitution of horns on the calf and of teeth in +the suckling. All other parts are perfect at the very first; +but were calves and sucklings to have teeth and horns, what +sore annoyances would these appendages prove to their dams +and dames. How is it that all the necessary parts of the +young are thus perfect at the first, and their annoying parts +unformed till circumstances render them no annoyance—unformed +at the time they are not needed, and produced when +they are, for defense and mastication? Who can fail to see +intelligence here? +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +8. The teats of animals. These bear a general proportion +to the number of young which they are wont to have at a +time. Those that are wont to have few young have few teats; +those that have many young have many teats. Were these +animals to make preparations themselves in this respect, how +could things be more appropriate? +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +9. The pea and the bean. The pea-vine, unable to stand +erect of itself, has tendrils with which to cling to a supporter; +but the bean-stalk, self-sustained, has nothing of the kind. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +10. The pumpkin. This does not grow on the oak; to +fall on the tender head of the wiseacre reposing in its shade, +<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">reasoning</span></em> that it should grow there rather than where it does, +because, forsooth, the oak would be able to sustain it.

The great energies of nature. To suppose the existence +of <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">powers</span></em> as the cause of the operations of nature—powers +destitute of life, and, at the same time, self-moving, +and acting upon matter without the intervention of extrinsic +agency, is just as irrational as to suppose such a power in a +machine, and is a gross absurdity and a self-contradiction. +But to suppose that these lifeless energies, even if possessed +of such qualities, could, void of intelligence, produce <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">such</span></em> +effects as <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">are</span></em> produced in the universe, requires credulity capable +of believing anything. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +12. The whole universe, whether considered in its elementary +or its organized state. From the simple grass to the +tender plant, and onward to the sturdy oak; from the least +insect up to man, there is skill the most consummate, design +the most clear. What substance, useless as it may be when +uncompounded with other substances, does not manifest design +in its affinity to those substances, by a union with which it is +rendered useful? What plant, what shrub, what tree has not +organization and arrangement the most perfect imaginable? +What insect so minute that contains not, within its almost invisible +exterior, adjustment of part to part in the most exact +order throughout all its complicated system, infinitely transcending +the most ingenious productions of art, and the most +appropriate adaptation of all those parts to its peculiar mode +of existence? Rising in the scale of sensitive being, let us +consider the beast of the forest, in whose case, without microscopic +aid, we have the subject more accessible. Is he a beast +of prey? Has the God of nature given him an instinctive +thirst for blood? Behold, then, his sharp-sighted organs of +vision for descrying his victim afar, his agile limbs for pursuit, +his curved and pointed claws for seizing and tearing his +prey, his sharp-edged teeth for cutting through its flesh, his +firm jaws for gripping, crushing, and devouring it, and his intestines +for digesting raw flesh. But is he a graminivorous +animal? Does he subsist on grass and herb? Behold, then, +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page134">[pg 134]</span><a name="Pg134" id="Pg134" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +his clumsy limbs and his clawless hoofs, his blunt teeth and +his herb-digesting stomach. So perfect is the correspondence +between one part and another; so exactly adapted are all the +parts to the same general objects; so wonderful is the harmony +and so definite and invariable the purpose obtaining throughout +the whole, that it is necessary to see but a footstep, or +even a bone, to be able to decide the nature and construction +of the animal that imprinted that footstep or that possessed that +bone. Ascending still higher in the scale, we come at last to +man—man, the highest, noblest workmanship of God on +earth—the lord of this sphere terrene—for whose behoof all +earthly things exist. In common with all animals, he has that +perfect adaptation of part to part, and of all the parts to general +objects, which demonstrate consummate wisdom in the +Cause which thus adapted them. His eyes are so placed as to +look the same way in which his feet are placed to walk, and +his hands to toil. His feet correspond with each other, being +both placed to walk in the direction, and with their corresponding +sides towards one another, without which he would hobble, +even if he could walk at all. His mouth is placed in the +forepart of the head, by which it can receive food and drink +from the hands. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +But the hands themselves—who can but admire their wonderful +utility? To what purpose are they not adapted? Man, +who has many ends to accomplish, in common with the beast +of the field; who has hunger to alleviate, thirst to slake, and +has likewise other and higher ends, for the attainment of which +he is peculiarly qualified by means of <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">hands</span></em>. Adapted by his +constitution to inhabit all climes, he has hands to adapt his clothing +to the same, whether torrid, temperate or frigid. Possessed +of the knowledge of the utility of the soil, he has hands +to cultivate it. Located far distant oftentimes from the running +stream, these hands enable him to disembowel the earth +and there find an abundant supply of the all-necessary fluid. +Endowed with rational ideas, pen in <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">hand</span></em> he can transmit +them to his fellows far away, or to generations unborn. Heir +and lord of earth and ocean, his hands enable him to possess +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page135">[pg 135]</span><a name="Pg135" id="Pg135" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +and control the same, without which, notwithstanding all his +reason, he could do neither, but would have to crouch beneath +the superior strength of the brute, and fly for shelter to crags +inaccessible to his beastly sovereign. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The only creature that has the reason to manage the world, +has the physical organization to do it. No <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">beast</span></em> with man's +reason could do this, and no <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">man</span></em> with the mere instinct of a +brute could do it. How marvellous, then this adaptation! +How wondrous the adaptation of everything, and how astonishing +that any man, with all these things in view, can for one +moment forbear to admit a God. Let him try <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">a chance experiment</span></em>. +Let him take the letters of the alphabet and throw +them about promiscuously and then see how long ere they +would move of their own accord and arrange themselves into +words and sentences. He may avail himself of the whole +benefit of his scheme; he may have the advantage of an +energy or power as a momentum to set them in motion; he may +put these letters into a box sufficiently large for the purpose, +and then shake them as long as may seem him good, and when, +in this way, they shall have become intelligible language, I +will admit that he will have some reasons for doubting a +God. If this should seem too much like <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">artificial</span></em> mind, +he may take some little animal, all constructed at his hands, +and dismember its limbs and dissect its body, and then within +some vessel let him throw its various parts at random, and +seizing that vessel shake it most lustily till bone shall come to +bone, joint to joint, and the little creature be restored to its +original form. But if this could not be accomplished by mere +power, without wisdom to direct, how could the original adjustment +occur by chance? How could those very parts themselves +be <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">formed for</span></em> adjustment one to another? +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Mathematicians tell us wondrous things in relation to these +hap-hazard concerns. And they demonstrate their statements +by what will not lie—figures. Their rule is this: that, as +one thing admits of but one position, as, for example, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">a</span></span>, so +two things, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">a</span></span> and <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">b</span></span>, are capable of two +positions, as <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">ab</span></span>, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">ba</span></span>. But +if a third be added, instead of their being susceptible of only +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page136">[pg 136]</span><a name="Pg136" id="Pg136" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +one additional position, or three in all, they are capable of +six. For example, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">abc</span></span>, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">acb</span></span>, +<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">bac</span></span>, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">bca</span></span>, +<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">cab</span></span>, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">cba</span></span>. Add another +letter, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">d</span></span>, and the four are capable of twenty-four positions or +variations. Thus we might go on. Merely adding another letter, +<span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">e</span></span>, and so making <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">five</span></em> instead of four, would +increase the the number of variations <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">five</span></em>-fold. They would then amount +to one hundred and twenty. A single additional letter, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">f</span></span>, making +<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">six</span></em> in all, would increase this last sum of one hundred and +twenty <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">six</span></em>-fold, making seven hundred and twenty. Add a <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">seventh</span></em> +letter, <span class="tei tei-hi"><span style="font-style: italic">g</span></span>, and the last-named sum would be increased +<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">seven</span></em>-fold, making the sum of five thousand and forty. If we go on +thus to the end of the alphabet, we have the astonishing sum +of six hundred and twenty thousand four hundred and forty-eight +trillions, four hundred and one thousand seven hundred +and thirty-three billions, two hundred and thirty-nine thousand +four hundred and thirty-nine millions and three hundred and +sixty thousand!!! Hence it follows that, were the letters of the +alphabet to be thrown promiscuously into a vessel, to be afterwards +shaken into order by mere hap, their chance of being +arranged, not to say into words and sentences, but into their +alphabetical order, would be only as <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">one</span></em> to the above number. +All this, too, in the case of only twenty-six letters! Take +now the human frame, with its bones, tendons, nerves, muscles, +veins, arteries, ducts, glands, cartilages, etc.; and having +dissected the same, throw those parts into one promiscuous +mass; and how long, I ask, would it be ere Chance would put +them all into their appropriate places and form a perfect man? +In this calculation we are likewise to take into the account +the chances of their being placed bottom upwards, or side-ways, +or wrong side out, notwithstanding they might merely +find their appropriate places. This would increase the chances +against a well-formed system to an amount beyond all calculation +or conception. In the case of the alphabet, the chances +for the letters to fall bottom up or aslant are not included. +And when we reflect that the blind goddess, or <span class="tei tei-q">“unintelligent +forces,”</span> would have to contend against such fearful odds in +the case of a single individual, how long are we to suppose it +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page137">[pg 137]</span><a name="Pg137" id="Pg137" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +would be, ere from old Chaos she could shake this mighty +universe, with all its myriads upon myriads of existences, into +the glorious order and beauty in which it now exists. +</p> + +</div> + +<div class="tei tei-div" style="margin-bottom: 5.00em; margin-top: 5.00em"> +<a name="toc5" id="toc5"></a> +<a name="pdf6" id="pdf6"></a> +<h1 class="tei tei-head" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 3.46em; margin-top: 3.46em"><span style="font-size: 173%">An Atheist Is A Fool.</span></h1> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +He can't believe that two letters can be adjusted to each +other without design, and yet he can believe all the foregoing +incredibilities. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +I might swell the list to a vast extent.

This mammoth +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page139">[pg 139]</span><a name="Pg139" id="Pg139" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +was disentombed during the great thaw of the summer. The +description is given in the following language: <span class="tei tei-q">“In 1846 there +was unusually warm weather in the north of Siberia. Already +in May unusual rains poured over the moors and bogs; storms +shook the earth, and the streams carried not only ice to the +sea, but also large tracts of land. We steamed on the first +day up the Indigirka, but there were no thoughts of land; +we saw around us only a sea of dirty brown water, and knew +the river only by the rushing and roaring of the stream. The +river rolled against us trees, moss, and large masses of peat, +so that it was only with great trouble and danger that we +could proceed. At the end of the second day we were only a +short distance up the stream; some one had to stand with the +sounding-rod in hand continually, and the boat received so +many shocks that it shuddered to the keel. A wooden vessel +would have been smashed. Around us we saw nothing but +the flooded land.... The Indigirka, here, had torn +up the land and worn itself a fresh channel, and when the +waters sank we saw, to our astonishment, that the old river-bed +had become merely that of an insignificant stream.... +The stream rolled over and tore up the soft, wet ground +like chaff, so that it was dangerous to go near the brink. While +we were all quiet, we heard under our feet a sudden gurgling +and stirring, which betrayed the working of the disturbed +water. Suddenly our jagger, ever on the look-out, called +loudly, and pointed to a singular and unshapely object, which +rose and sank.... Now we all hastened to the +spot on shore, had the boat drawn near, and waited until the +mysterious thing should again show itself. Our patience was +tried, but at last a black, horrible giant-like mass was thrust +out of the water, and we beheld a colossal elephant's head, +armed with mighty tusks, with its long trunk moving in the +water in an unearthly manner, as though seeking for something +lost therein.... I beheld the monster hardly +twelve feet from me, with his half-open eyes yet showing the +whites. It was still in good preservation....</span> +</p> + +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page140">[pg 140]</span><a name="Pg140" id="Pg140" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +<span class="tei tei-q">“Picture to yourself an elephant with a body covered with +thick fur, about thirteen feet in height and fifteen in length, +with tusks eight feet long, thick, and curving outward at their +ends, a stout trunk of six feet in length, colossal limbs of one +and a half feet in thickness, and a tail naked up to the end, +which was covered with thick tufty hair. The animal was fat +and well grown; death had overtaken him in the fulness of his +powers. His parchment-like, large, naked ears lay turned up +over the head; about the shoulders and on the back he had +stiff hair, about a foot in length, like a mane. The long outer +hair was deep brown and coarsely rooted. The top of the head +looked so wild and so penetrated with pitch that it resembled +the rind of an old oak tree. On the sides it was cleaner, and +under the outer hair there appeared everywhere a wool, very +soft, warm and thick, and of a fallow-brown color. The giant +was well protected against the cold. The whole appearance +of the animal was fearfully strange and wild. It had not the +shape of our present elephants. As compared with our Indian +elephants, its head was rough, the brain-case low and narrow, +but the trunk and mouth were much larger. The teeth were +very powerful. Our elephant is an awkward animal, but compared +with this mammoth, it is an Arabian steed to a coarse, +ugly dray horse. I had the stomach separated and brought on +one side. It was well filled, and the contents instructive and +well preserved. The principal were young shoots of the fir +and pine; a quantity of young fir cones, also in a chewed state, +were mixed with the moss.”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Mammoth bones are found in great abundance in the islands +off the northern coast of Siberia. The remains of the rhinoceros +are also found. Pallas, in 1772, obtained from Wiljuiskoi, +in latitude 64°, a rhinoceros taken from the sand in +which it had been frozen. This carcass emitted an odor like +putrid flesh, part of the skin being covered with short, crisp +wool and with black and gray hairs. Professor Brandt, in +1846, extracted from the cavities in the molar teeth of this +skeleton a small quantity of half-chewed pine leaves and coniferous +wood. And the blood-vessels in the interior of the +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page141">[pg 141]</span><a name="Pg141" id="Pg141" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +head appeared filled, even to the capillary vessels, with coagulated +blood, which in many places still retained its original +red color. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +We find that Mr. Boyd Dawkins and Mr. Sanford assert +that the cave-lion is only a large variety of the existing lion—identical +in species.

It is also certain that it was a companion of the +mammoth and of the woolly rhinoceros. The aurochs, or +European bison, whose remains are found in the river gravel +and the older bone caves, is mentioned by Pliny and Seneca. +They speak of it as existing in their time; it is also named in +the Niebelungen Lied. It existed in Prussia as late as 1775, +and is still found wild in the Caucasus. The present Emperor +of Russia has twelve herds, which are protected in the forests +of Lithuania. During the session of the International Archæological +Congress at Stockholm, in 1874, the members of the +body made an excursion to the isle of Bjorko, in Lake Malar, +near Stockholm, where there is an ancient cemetery of two +thousand tumuli. Within a few hundred yards from this is +the site of the ancient town. Several trenches were run through +this locality, and many relics obtained by the members of the +congress. On the occasion Dr. Stolpe, who was familiar with +the previous discoveries at this point, delivered a lecture on +the island and its remains. They all, he stated, belong to the +second age of iron in Sweden, and consisted of implements of +iron, ornaments of bronze, and animal bones; Kufic coins have +been found, along with cowrie-shells, and silver bracelets. +The number of animal bones met with is immense, more than +fifty species being represented, and what is especially noteworthy, +<em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">the marrow bones were all crushed or split</span></em>, just as in +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page143">[pg 143]</span><a name="Pg143" id="Pg143" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +the palæeolithic times.

Many unbelievers, like drowning men catching at +straws, have endeavored to make it appear that Mr. Draper's +book, entitled <span class="tei tei-q">“Conflict Between Religion and Science,”</span> makes +a square fight between the Bible and science. So far is this +from the truth that, on the contrary, it does not even set up +a square issue between Protestantism and science; its issue lies +between Roman Catholic religion and science. Hear him: +<span class="tei tei-q">“Then has it, <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">in truth</span></em>, come to this, that Roman Christianity +and science are recognized by their respective adherents as being +absolutely incompatible; they can not exist together; one must +yield to the other; mankind must make its choice—it can not +have both. While such is, perhaps, the issue as regards +Catholicism, a reconciliation of the reformation with science +is not only possible, but would easily take place if the protestant +churches would only live up to their maxim taught by Luther +and established by so many years of war. That maxim +is the right of private interpretation of the scriptures. It was +the foundation of intellectual liberty.”</span> (Did Luther say the +foundation of intellectual liberty?) But if a personal interpretation +of the book of Revelation is permissible, how can it +be denied in the case of the book of nature? In the misunderstandings +that have taken place, we must ever bear in mind +the infirmities of men. The generations that immediately followed +the reformation may perhaps be excused for not comprehending +the full significance of cardinal principle, and for not +on all occasions carrying it into effect. When Calvin caused +Servetus to be burnt he was animated, not by the principles of +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page146">[pg 146]</span><a name="Pg146" id="Pg146" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +the reformation, but by those of Catholicism, from which he +had not been able to emancipate himself completely. And +when the clergy of influential protestant confessions have stigmatized +the investigators of nature as infidels and atheists, the +same may be said. (No man should be called by a name that +does not truthfully represent him.) Now listen to Mr. Draper: +<span class="tei tei-q">“For Catholicism to reconcile itself to science, there are formidable, +perhaps insuperable obstacles in the way.

It is taken +from Wood's History of the Uncivilized Races: +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The Fijians are more devoted to cannibalism than the New +Zealanders, and their records are still more appalling. A New +Zealander has sometimes the grace to feel ashamed of mentioning +the subject in the hearing of an European, whereas it is +impossible to make a Fijian really feel that in eating human +flesh he has committed an unworthy act. He sees, indeed, +that the white man exhibits great disgust at cannibalism, but +in his heart he despises him for wasting such luxurious food +as human flesh.... The natives are clever enough at +concealing the existence of cannibalism when they find that it +shocks the white men. An European cotton grower, who had +tried unsuccessfully to introduce the culture of cotton into +Fiji, found, after a tolerable long residence, that four or five +human beings were killed and eaten weekly. There was plenty +of food in the place, pigs were numerous, and fish, fruit and +vegetables abundant. But the people ate human bodies as +often as they could get them, not from any superstitious motive, +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page147">[pg 147]</span><a name="Pg147" id="Pg147" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +but simply because they preferred human flesh to pork.... +Many of the people actually take a pride in the +number of human bodies which they have eaten. One chief +was looked upon with great respect on account of his feats of +cannibalism, and the people gave him a title of honor. They +called him the Turtle-pond, comparing his insatiable stomach +to the pond in which turtles are kept; and so proud were they +of his deeds, that they even gave a name of honor to the bodies +brought for his consumption, calling them the <span class="tei tei-q">“Contents of +the Turtle-pond.”</span> ... One man gained a great name +among his people by an act of peculiar atrocity. He told his +wife to build an oven, to fetch firewood for heating it, and to +prepare a bamboo knife. As soon as she had concluded her +labors her husband killed her, and baked her in the oven +which her own hands had prepared, and afterward ate her. +Sometimes a man has been known to take a victim, bind him +hand and foot, cut slices from his arms and legs, and eat them +before his eyes. Indeed, the Fijians are so inordinately vain +that they will do anything, no matter how horrible, in order +to gain a name among their people; and Dr. Pritchard, who +knows them thoroughly, expresses his wonder that some chief +did not eat slices from his own limbs. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +<span class="tei tei-q">“Cannibalism is ingrained in the very nature of the Fijian, +and extends through all classes of society. It is true that +there are some persons who have never eaten human flesh, but +there is always a reason for it. Women, for example, are seldom +known to eat <span class="tei tei-q">‘bakolo,’</span> as human flesh is termed, and there +are a few men who have refrained from cannibalism through +superstition. Every Fijian has his special god, who is supposed +to have his residence in some animal. One god, for +example, lives in a rat, another in a shark, and so on. The +worshiper of that god never eats the animal in which his +divinity resides, and as some gods are supposed to reside in +human beings, their worshipers never eat the flesh of man.”</span> +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +Recent History Of The Same People In Brief. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +<span class="tei tei-q">“In the Fiji islands, where half a century ago the favorite +dish of food was human flesh, there are at present eight hundred +<span class="tei tei-pb" id="page148">[pg 148]</span><a name="Pg148" id="Pg148" class="tei tei-anchor"></a> +and forty-one chapels, and two hundred and ninety-one +other places where preaching is held, with fifty-eight missionaries +busily engaged in preparing the way for others.

Dead bodies do not breathe. Therefore, life lies +behind breath, and spirit behind life. So life and breath are +both effects, which find their ultimate or cause in <em class="tei tei-emph"><span style="font-style: italic">spirit</span></em>. +This at once sets aside all that materialists have said in order +to show that spirit and breath are one and the same.

And I said +unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, +forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.”</span> +This language had its fulfillment in the sale which Judas +Iscariot made of his Lord and the abrogation of the ancient +covenant or law. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +The prophets were not confined to the kingdom of Israel, +or to any one kingdom, nor yet to any one dispensation. +</p> + +<p class="tei tei-p" style="margin-bottom: 1.00em"> +They bore the word of the Lord to all the nations, as we +learn from such language as this: <span class="tei tei-q">“The burden of the word +of the Lord to Ninevah, to Sidon, to Tyre, to Idumea, to +Babylon, to Samaria, to Egypt,”</span> and to many others.

From this definition you discover +that a myth is <emph>always</emph> a counterfeit, and as such always appears +in evidence in favor of something more or less remote, +that is true. Now, if the Bible had a mythical origin, it sustains +some analogy to something found in the mythical or fictitious +and fanciful narratives concerning the gods, and is +therefore the myth of a myth; the counterfeit of a counterfeit. +If such be the truth in the case, where do we find the +origin of the myths from which <q>Bible myths</q> have descended? +Is it found in the true God presiding over the elements +of nature and the destinies of men, as well as the events +of creation and providence? Or, can it be possible that we +have many counterfeits <emph>without a genuine</emph>? Many myths sustaining +no analogy, either near or remote, to anything real? +It is an absurdity, destructive of the term employed, because +<emph>myths</emph> cease to be <emph>myths</emph> without some near or remote relation to +realities. They <emph>must</emph> sustain some analogy to something real. +And <emph>counterfeits</emph> also cease to be <emph>counterfeits</emph> when it is shown +<pb n='122'/><anchor id='Pg122'/> +that they sustain no relation, through analogy or likeness, to +anything that is genuine. In the mythical systems of olden +times we have, in the midst of a vast deal of false and fanciful +narrative concerning subordinate and secondary gods, evidence +of a supreme God presiding over all things; and the +secondary gods performing many things which belonged to +the province of the <q>Almighty One,</q> with many degrading, +vile and corrupting habits. +</p> + +<p> +A letter written by Maximus, a Numidian, to Augustin, +reads thus: <q>Now, that there is a sovereign God, who is +without beginning, and who, without having begotten anything +like unto Himself, is, nevertheless, the Father and the +former of all things, what man can be gross and stupid +enough to doubt? He it is of whom, under different names, +we adore the eternal power extending through every part of +the world, thus honoring separately by different sorts of worship +what may be called His several members, we adore Him +entirely. May those subordinate gods preserve you under +whose names, and by whom all we mortals upon earth adore +the common Father of gods and men.</q> In this letter we +have a clear presentation of the mythical system concerning +the ancient gods, and also the <q>analagous relation</q> to the +<q>Master God.</q> Each god having his particular dominion +over place or passion, appears before us as a representative +of the supreme, or <q>Master God;</q> and by worshiping each +member or God they claimed to adore entirely the <q>common +Father of gods and men.</q> Augustin answers, In your public +square there are <emph>two statues</emph> of Mars, one naked, the other +armed; and close by the figure of a man who, with three +fingers advanced towards Mars, holds in check that divinity +so dangerous to the whole town. With regard to what you +say of such gods being portions of the only <q>true God,</q> I +take the liberty you gave me to warn you not to fall into such +a sacrilege; for that only God, of whom you speak, is doubtless +He who is acknowledged by the whole world, and concerning +whom, as some of the ancients have said, the ignorant +agree with the learned. Now, will you say that Mars, whose +<pb n='123'/><anchor id='Pg123'/> +strength is represented by an inanimate man, is a portion of +that God? That is to say, the dead statue controls Mars, and +Mars is a subordinate god representing the infinite God, and +is, therefore, a part of that God. Augustin adds, Not the +Pantheon and all the temples consecrated to the inferior gods, +nor even the temples consecrated to the twelve greater gods +prevented <q>Deus Optimus Maximus,</q> God most good, most +great, from being acknowledged throughout the empire. +Voltaire says, <q>In spite of all the follies of the people who +venerated secondary and ridiculous gods, and in spite of the +Epicurians, who in reality acknowledged none, it is verified +that in all times the magistrates and wise adored one sovereign +God.</q> Secondary gods were <emph>myths</emph>, counterfeits, sustaining +the <emph>relation</emph> of counterfeits. The ancients attributed their +own passions to the <q>Master God,</q> and had subordinate gods +representing passions. They also had a god for each part of +His dominion; and these gods they called members of the +true God, and claimed to worship Him, by worshiping all the +members or gods. Mars was the god of war; Bacchus was the +god of drunkenness. They had a god for this and a god for +that. The ancient pagans seemed to think that infinite divisibility +belonged to the <q>true God,</q> for they distinguished +between passions, and divided up the universe among the gods +until they had it crammed full of subordinate and ridiculous +gods, each one a member of Jehovah, and each member a part +of the great mythical system. +</p> + +<p> +Now, in order to establish the proposition that our religion +is of mythical origin, it is necessary to show, first, that the +Bible was written this side of or during the age of myths, and, +having done this, it is necessary to show that the Hebrew +people were a mythical people; neither of which can be accomplished. +It will not be amiss to present in this connection +a statement given by Justin to the Greeks. He says: <q>Of +all your teachers, whether sages, poets, historians, philosophers, +or law-givers, by far the oldest, as the Greek historians show +us, was Moses.... For in the times of Ogyges and +Inachus, whom some of your poets have supposed to have +<pb n='124'/><anchor id='Pg124'/> +been earth-born—that is, to have sprung from the soil, and +hence one of the oldest inhabitants—<emph>the aborigines</emph>, Moses is +mentioned as the leader and ruler of the Jewish nation.</q> He +is mentioned as a very ancient and time-honored prince in the +Athenian, Attic and Grecian histories. Polemon, in his first +book of Hellenics, mentions Moses as the leader and ruler of +the Jewish nation. Ptolemæus, in his history of Egypt, bears +the same testimony. Apion, an Egyptian writer, in his book +against the Jews, says <q>Moses led them.</q> Dr. Shaw, a modern +traveler, says the inhabitants of Corondel, on the eastern +side of the Red Sea, to this day preserve the remembrance of +the deliverance of the children of Israel from their bondage +in Egypt. Diodorus, the most renowned Greek historian, who +employed thirty years epitomizing the libraries, and traveled +over Asia and Europe for the sake of great accuracy, who +wrote forty volumes of history, says he learned from the +Egyptian priests that Moses was an ancient law-giver. +</p> + +<p> +It seems to us that, no sane man, who is acquainted with the +ancient mythicals, can regard the religion of the Bible as a +child of mythical descent. It is as deadly in its influence +upon those myths, and all mythical worship, as it could be +made by an infinite mind. +</p> + +<p> +Voltaire says <q>the character of the mythical gods is ridiculous;</q> +we will add, it is ridiculous in the extreme. Listen—Hesiod, +in his theogony, says: <q>Chronos, the son of Ouranos, +or Saturn, son of Heaven, in the beginning slew his father, +and possessed himself of his rule, and, being seized with a +panic lest he should suffer in the same way, he preferred devouring +his children, but Curetes, a subordinate god, by craft, +conveyed Jupiter away in secret and afterwards bound his +brother with chains, and divided the empire, Jupiter receiving +the air, and Neptune the deep, and Pluto Hades.</q> +</p> + +<p> +Pros-er-pi-ne, Mella-nip-pe, Neptune, Pluto and Jupiter +are all set forth in the mythical writings as adulterers. +Jupiter was regarded as more frequently involved in that +crime, being set down as guilty in many instances. For the +love of Sem-e-le, it is said that he assumed wings and proved +<pb n='125'/><anchor id='Pg125'/> +his own unchastity and her jealousy. These are some of the +exploits of the sons of Saturn. Hercules was celebrated by +his three nights, sung by the poets for his successful labors. +</p> + +<p> +The son of Jupiter slew the Lion, and destroyed the many-headed +Hydra; was able to kill the fleet man-eating birds, +and brought up from hades the three-headed dog, Cerberus; +effectually cleansed the Augean stable from its refuse; killed +the bulls and stag whose nostrils breathed fire; slew the +poisonous serpent and killed Ach-e-lò-us. The guest-slaying +Bu-sí-ris was delighted with being stunned by the cymbals of +the Sat-yrs, and to be conquered with the love of women; and +at last, being unable to take the cloak off of Nessus, he +kindled his own funeral pile and died. Such are specimens of +the ancient myths. Their character is such as to leave an impassible +gulf between them and the character of the God +revealed in our religion. No development theory, seeking +the origin of our religion in the old mythical system, can +bridge across this chasm. It is as deep and broad as the distance +between the antipodes. There is no analogy between +these counterfeits or myths and the <q>true God,</q> save that remote +power of God which is divided up and parceled out +among them. Their morals were the worst. The whole +mythical system is simply one grand demonstration of human +apostacy from the <q>true God.</q> Homer introduces Zeus in +love, and bitterly complaining and bewailing himself, and +plotted against by the other gods. He represents the gods as +suffering at the hands of men. Mars and Venus were +wounded by Di-o-me-de. He says, <q>Great Pluto's self the +stinging arrow felt when that same son of Jupiter assailed +him in the very gates of hell, and wrought him keenest +anguish. Pierced with pain, to the high Olympus, to the +courts of Jupiter groaning he came. The bitter shaft remained +deep in his shoulder fixed, and grieved his soul.</q> In the +mythical system the gods are not presented as creators or first +causes. Homer says, They were in the beginning generated +from the waters of the ocean, and thousands were added by +deifying departed heroes and philosophers. The thought of +<pb n='126'/><anchor id='Pg126'/> +one supreme Intelligence, the <q>God of Gods,</q>, runs through +all the system of myths. It is found anterior to the myths, +and, therefore, could not have had its origin with them. The +character ascribed to our God, in our scriptures, has no place +among the ancient myths. They hold the <q>Master God</q> +before us only in connection with power, being altogether +ignorant of His true character. They even went so far as to +attribute much to Him that was ridiculous. One of the +ancients said, <q>The utmost that a man can do is to attribute +to the being he worships his imperfections and impurities, +magnified to infinity, it may be, and then become worse by +their reflex action upon his own nature.</q> This was verified in +the ancient mythical religion, without exception, and without +doubt. +</p> + +<p> +<q>The character of all the gods was simply human character +extended in all its powers, appetites, lusts and passions. +Scholars say there is no language containing words that express +the Scriptural ideas of holiness and abhorrence of sin, +except those in which the Scriptures were given, or into which +they have been translated. These attributes must be known +in order to salvation from sin, so God revealed Himself and +gave the world a pure religion, as a standard of right and +wrong, and guide in duty, and rule of life.</q> +</p> + +<p> +The history of the ancient nations of the earth gives a +united testimony that their original progenitors possessed a +knowledge of the one true and living God, who was worshiped +by them, and believed to be an infinite, self-existent +and invisible spirit. This notion was never entirely extinguished +even among the idolatrous worshipers. Greek and +Latin poets were great corrupters of theology, yet in the +midst of all their Gods there is still to be found, in their writings, +the notion of one supreme in power and rule, whom they +confound with Jupiter. +</p> + +<p> +The age of myths began with the tenth generation after the +flood. The evidence of this is given by Plato from one of the +ancient poets in these words: <q>It was the generation <emph>then the +tenth</emph>, of men endowed with speech, since forth the flood had +<pb n='127'/><anchor id='Pg127'/> +burst upon the men of former times, and Kronos, Japetus and +Titan reigned, whom men of Ouranos proclaimed the noblest +sons, and named them so, because of men <emph>endowed with gift +of speech</emph>, they were the first,</q> that is to say, they were orators, +<q>and others for their strength, as Heracles and Perseus, +and others for their art. Those to whom either the subjects +gave honor, or the rulers themselves <emph>assuming it</emph>, obtained the +name, some from fear, others from reverence. Thus Antinous, +through the benevolence of your ancestors toward their subjects, +came to be regarded as a god. But those who came +after adopted the worship without examination.</q> So testifies +one who was schooled in philosophy. Do you say there are +points of similitude between the Bible religion and the mythical? +It would be strange if there were none, seeing that the +mythical is truly what the term signifies, a counterfeit upon +the genuine, or Biblical. +</p> + +<p> +The points of disagreement, however, are such as to demonstrate +the fact that the ancient mythical people knew not the +character of the Being, whom they conceived to be the <q>God +of Gods and the Father of Gods and men.</q> Those who confound +the Bible with the ancient myths upon the score of the +analogy that exists between it and the myths, remind me of a +very learned gentleman with whom I was once walking around +an oat field, when he remarked, <q><emph>there</emph> is a very fine piece of +wheat.</q> The man had been brought up in an eastern city, and +was unable to distinguish between oats and wheat. I knew a +gentleman who asked a man, standing by the side of an old-fashioned +flax-break, what he thought it was used for? The +man took hold of the handle, lifted it up and let it down a few +times, and said: <q>It looks like it might be used to chop up +sausage meat.</q> It is very natural for us to draw comparisons, +and when we do not make ourselves familiar with things and +their uses, we are very liable to be led into error by a few +points of similitude. All the infidels with whom I have become +acquainted look upon the Bible like the man looked upon +the flax-break, and like the man looked upon the oat field. If +one had looked upon the flax-break who was familiar with it, +<pb n='128'/><anchor id='Pg128'/> +he never could have dreamed of chopping sausage meat; and +if the other had been familiar with wheat and oats, as they present +themselves to the eye in the field in the month of June, +he never would have called the oats wheat. And if any sane +man will make himself familiar with both the Bible and the +old system of myths and mythical worship, he will never confound +the two. There are a thousand things, very different in +character and origin, which have points of similitude. But +similitude never proves identity short of completeness. While +the analogy between the ancient mythical system of gods and +their worship and the true God and His worship is restricted +to power and intelligence, there exists a contrast between them +deep as heaven is high and broad as the earth in point of moral +character, virtue, and every ennobling and lovable attribute. +</p> + +<p> +There is an old myth in the Vedas—a god called <q>Chrishna.</q> +The Vedas claim that he is in the form of a man; that he is +black; that he is dressed in flowers and ribbons; that he is +the father of a great many gods. It is surprising to see the +eagerness with which some men bring up <q>Chrishna</q> in comparison +with the Greek term <q>Christos</q>—Christ, and confound +the two. The words are entirely different, save in a +jingle of sound. They are no more alike than the terms +<emph>catechist</emph>—one who instructs by questions and answers, and +the term catechu—a dry, brown astringent extract. We could +give many such examples in the history of unbelievers and +their war upon the Bible, but this must suffice for the present. +The truth is this: such men, as a general rule, neither understand +the Bible in its teachings and character, nor the ancient +mythical system. In it Jupiter, among the Romans, and +throughout every language, appears before us as the <q>Father +of Gods and men</q>—<q>the God of gods,</q> the <q>Master of the +gods.</q> Voltaire says: It is false that Cicero, or any other +Roman, ever said that it did not become the majesty of the +empire to acknowledge a Supreme God. Their Jupiter, the +Zeus of the Greeks and the Jehovah of the Phonecians, was +always considered as the master of the secondary gods. He +adds: But is not Jupiter, the master of all the gods, a word +<pb n='129'/><anchor id='Pg129'/> +belonging to every nation, from the Euphrates to the Tiber? +Among the first Romans it was <hi rend='italic'>Jov</hi>, <hi rend='italic'>Jovis</hi>; +among the Greeks, <hi rend='italic'>Zeus</hi>; among the Phonecians and Syrians and +Egyptians, <hi rend='italic'>Jehovah</hi>. The last term is the Hebrew scriptural name of +God—denoting <emph>permanent being</emph>—in perfect keeping with the +Bible title or descriptive appellation, <q><hi rend='smallcaps'>I am that I am</hi>.</q> +</p> + +<p> +The ancient worshipers of the gods had lost all but the +name, <emph>power</emph> and relation, which they ever knew of Jehovah. +And they could do no more than clothe Jupiter with their own +imperfections and impurities—and then place him above all +the gods; it was necessary for them to view him as excelling +in all the characteristics of the secondary gods. And having +attributed to the gods all they knew of human passions and +corruptions, they clothed Jupiter himself with more villainy +and corruption than belonged to any other god. In this was +the great blasphemous sacrilege of ancient idolatry. They +thus demonstrated their own apostacy; and the fact that their +system of gods was a counterfeit, a mythical system. They +were destitute of any standard of right and wrong, having no +conceptions of the divine character which were not drawn +from their own imperfect and corrupt lives. The divine +character, as revealed in the revelation of Christ, and presented +to us as God manifest in the flesh, is at once the very +opposite of the characters given in the myths. The distance +between the two is the distance between the lowest degradation +of God-like power exercised in the lowest passions, and +the sublimity of Heaven's own spotless life. I love the religion +of the Scriptures, because it restores to the race the lost +knowledge of God and the additional life of Jesus—the only +perfect model known in the history of the race. It is the +life of God manifested in the flesh; make it <emph>your own</emph>, and it +will save you. Mr. English, an American infidel, said: <q>Far +be it from me to reproach the meek and compassionate, the +amiable Jesus, or to attribute to him the mischiefs occasioned +by his followers.</q> +</p> + +<p> +It is now conceded that Jesus Christ was <emph>no myth</emph> by all +the great minds in unbelief. He lived. We love his life, +<pb n='130'/><anchor id='Pg130'/> +because all who would rob Him of His authority are compelled +to speak well of it. Rousseau, another infidel, says: <q>It is +impossible that he whose history the gospel records can be +but a man,</q> adding, <q rend='pre'>Does he speak in the tone of an enthusiast, +or of an ambitious sectary? What mildness! What +purity in his manners! What touching favor in his instructions! +What elevation in his maxims! What presence of +mind! What ingenuity, and what justice in his answers! +What government of his passions! What prejudice, blindness +or ill faith must that be which dares to compare Socrates +with the Son of Mary!</q> +</p> + +<p> +<q>What a difference between the two! Socrates, dying without +a pain, without disgrace, easily sustains his part to the +last. The death of Socrates, philosophizing with his friends, +is the mildest that could be desired. That of Jesus, expiring +in torments, injured, mocked, cursed by all the people, is the +most horrible that can be feared. Socrates, taking the impoisoned +cup, blesses him who presents it to him with tears. +Jesus, in the midst of a frightful punishment, prays for his +enraged executioners. Yes, if the life and death of Socrates +are those of a wise man, the life and death of Jesus are those +of a God.</q> If such be the model, the pattern, the example +which I am to follow, let me live and die a Christian. I love +the religion of Christ, because its character compels its +enemies to speak thus of it. I love it because of its practical +influence in elevating all into the moral image of Christ. I +love it because it saves men through its influence from +abominable sins and consequent sorrows that would tear up +the hearts of thousands. I love it because it is the power of +God to save the soul. I love it because it leads men into +communion and fellowship with all the good. I love it because +it leads to heaven and to God. +</p> + +</div> + +<div> + +<p> +Civilization, it is true, is an arbitrary term.

The adaptation of animals to the elements in which +they live, the fish to the water, other animals to the air. +Would not an unintelligent energy or power be as likely to +form the organs of a fish for air as for water? +</p> + +<p> +3. The necessity which man has for sustenance, and the +supply of that necessity by nature. +</p> + +<p> +Here let it be noted how many things must act in unison +to produce the necessary result. The earth must nourish the +seed, the sun must warm it, the rain must moisten it, and +man must have the strength to cultivate it, and the organs to +eat it, and the stomach to digest it, and the blood-vessels to +circulate it, and so on. Is it credible that all these things +should <emph>happen</emph> without design? +</p> + +<p> +4. The pre-adaptation of the infant to the state of things +into which it enters at birth. The eye is exactly suited to the +light, the ear to sound, the nose to smell, the palate to taste, +the lungs to the air. How is it possible to see no design in +this pre-adaptation, so curious, so complicated in so many +particulars? +</p> + +<p> +5. The milk of animals suitable for the nourishment of +their young, provided just in season, provided without contrivance +on the part of the parent, and sought for without +instruction or experience on the part of its offspring! <emph>and all by +chance!!</emph> +</p> + +<pb n='132'/><anchor id='Pg132'/> + +<p> +6. The different sexes. In this case, as in the rest, there +is perfect adaptation, which displays evident design. And +there is more. What, I ask, is there <emph>in nature</emph> to cause a +difference in sexes? Why are not all either males or females? +or, rather, a compound? This case, then, I consider not only +an evidence of design, but likewise an evidence of the special +and continued <emph>volition</emph> of the Creator. +</p> + +<p> +7. The destitution of horns on the calf and of teeth in +the suckling. All other parts are perfect at the very first; +but were calves and sucklings to have teeth and horns, what +sore annoyances would these appendages prove to their dams +and dames. How is it that all the necessary parts of the +young are thus perfect at the first, and their annoying parts +unformed till circumstances render them no annoyance—unformed +at the time they are not needed, and produced when +they are, for defense and mastication? Who can fail to see +intelligence here? +</p> + +<p> +8. The teats of animals. These bear a general proportion +to the number of young which they are wont to have at a +time. Those that are wont to have few young have few teats; +those that have many young have many teats. Were these +animals to make preparations themselves in this respect, how +could things be more appropriate? +</p> + +<p> +9. The pea and the bean. The pea-vine, unable to stand +erect of itself, has tendrils with which to cling to a supporter; +but the bean-stalk, self-sustained, has nothing of the kind. +</p> + +<p> +10. The pumpkin. This does not grow on the oak; to +fall on the tender head of the wiseacre reposing in its shade, +<emph>reasoning</emph> that it should grow there rather than where it does, +because, forsooth, the oak would be able to sustain it. And +were he to undertake to set the other works of Providence to +rights which he now considers wrong, 'tis a chance if he +would not get many a thump upon his pate ere he should get +the universe arranged to his mind. And if, before completing +his undertaking, he should not find it the easier of the two to +arrange his mind to the universe, it would be because <emph>what +<pb n='133'/><anchor id='Pg133'/> +little</emph> brains he <emph>has</emph> would get thumped out of his cranium +altogether! +</p> + +<p> +11. The great energies of nature. To suppose the existence +of <emph>powers</emph> as the cause of the operations of nature—powers +destitute of life, and, at the same time, self-moving, +and acting upon matter without the intervention of extrinsic +agency, is just as irrational as to suppose such a power in a +machine, and is a gross absurdity and a self-contradiction. +But to suppose that these lifeless energies, even if possessed +of such qualities, could, void of intelligence, produce <emph>such</emph> +effects as <emph>are</emph> produced in the universe, requires credulity capable +of believing anything. +</p> + +<p> +12. The whole universe, whether considered in its elementary +or its organized state. From the simple grass to the +tender plant, and onward to the sturdy oak; from the least +insect up to man, there is skill the most consummate, design +the most clear. What substance, useless as it may be when +uncompounded with other substances, does not manifest design +in its affinity to those substances, by a union with which it is +rendered useful? What plant, what shrub, what tree has not +organization and arrangement the most perfect imaginable? +What insect so minute that contains not, within its almost invisible +exterior, adjustment of part to part in the most exact +order throughout all its complicated system, infinitely transcending +the most ingenious productions of art, and the most +appropriate adaptation of all those parts to its peculiar mode +of existence? Rising in the scale of sensitive being, let us +consider the beast of the forest, in whose case, without microscopic +aid, we have the subject more accessible. Is he a beast +of prey? Has the God of nature given him an instinctive +thirst for blood? Behold, then, his sharp-sighted organs of +vision for descrying his victim afar, his agile limbs for pursuit, +his curved and pointed claws for seizing and tearing his +prey, his sharp-edged teeth for cutting through its flesh, his +firm jaws for gripping, crushing, and devouring it, and his intestines +for digesting raw flesh. But is he a graminivorous +animal? Does he subsist on grass and herb? Behold, then, +<pb n='134'/><anchor id='Pg134'/> +his clumsy limbs and his clawless hoofs, his blunt teeth and +his herb-digesting stomach. So perfect is the correspondence +between one part and another; so exactly adapted are all the +parts to the same general objects; so wonderful is the harmony +and so definite and invariable the purpose obtaining throughout +the whole, that it is necessary to see but a footstep, or +even a bone, to be able to decide the nature and construction +of the animal that imprinted that footstep or that possessed that +bone. Ascending still higher in the scale, we come at last to +man—man, the highest, noblest workmanship of God on +earth—the lord of this sphere terrene—for whose behoof all +earthly things exist. In common with all animals, he has that +perfect adaptation of part to part, and of all the parts to general +objects, which demonstrate consummate wisdom in the +Cause which thus adapted them. His eyes are so placed as to +look the same way in which his feet are placed to walk, and +his hands to toil. His feet correspond with each other, being +both placed to walk in the direction, and with their corresponding +sides towards one another, without which he would hobble, +even if he could walk at all. His mouth is placed in the +forepart of the head, by which it can receive food and drink +from the hands. +</p> + +<p> +But the hands themselves—who can but admire their wonderful +utility? To what purpose are they not adapted? Man, +who has many ends to accomplish, in common with the beast +of the field; who has hunger to alleviate, thirst to slake, and +has likewise other and higher ends, for the attainment of which +he is peculiarly qualified by means of <emph>hands</emph>. Adapted by his +constitution to inhabit all climes, he has hands to adapt his clothing +to the same, whether torrid, temperate or frigid. Possessed +of the knowledge of the utility of the soil, he has hands +to cultivate it. Located far distant oftentimes from the running +stream, these hands enable him to disembowel the earth +and there find an abundant supply of the all-necessary fluid. +Endowed with rational ideas, pen in <emph>hand</emph> he can transmit +them to his fellows far away, or to generations unborn. Heir +and lord of earth and ocean, his hands enable him to possess +<pb n='135'/><anchor id='Pg135'/> +and control the same, without which, notwithstanding all his +reason, he could do neither, but would have to crouch beneath +the superior strength of the brute, and fly for shelter to crags +inaccessible to his beastly sovereign. +</p> + +<p> +The only creature that has the reason to manage the world, +has the physical organization to do it. No <emph>beast</emph> with man's +reason could do this, and no <emph>man</emph> with the mere instinct of a +brute could do it. How marvellous, then this adaptation! +How wondrous the adaptation of everything, and how astonishing +that any man, with all these things in view, can for one +moment forbear to admit a God. Let him try <emph>a chance experiment</emph>. +Let him take the letters of the alphabet and throw +them about promiscuously and then see how long ere they +would move of their own accord and arrange themselves into +words and sentences. He may avail himself of the whole +benefit of his scheme; he may have the advantage of an +energy or power as a momentum to set them in motion; he may +put these letters into a box sufficiently large for the purpose, +and then shake them as long as may seem him good, and when, +in this way, they shall have become intelligible language, I +will admit that he will have some reasons for doubting a +God. If this should seem too much like <emph>artificial</emph> mind, +he may take some little animal, all constructed at his hands, +and dismember its limbs and dissect its body, and then within +some vessel let him throw its various parts at random, and +seizing that vessel shake it most lustily till bone shall come to +bone, joint to joint, and the little creature be restored to its +original form. But if this could not be accomplished by mere +power, without wisdom to direct, how could the original adjustment +occur by chance? How could those very parts themselves +be <emph>formed for</emph> adjustment one to another? +</p> + +<p> +Mathematicians tell us wondrous things in relation to these +hap-hazard concerns. And they demonstrate their statements +by what will not lie—figures. Their rule is this: that, as +one thing admits of but one position, as, for example, <hi rend='italic'>a</hi>, so +two things, <hi rend='italic'>a</hi> and <hi rend='italic'>b</hi>, are capable of two +positions, as <hi rend='italic'>ab</hi>, <hi rend='italic'>ba</hi>. But +if a third be added, instead of their being susceptible of only +<pb n='136'/><anchor id='Pg136'/> +one additional position, or three in all, they are capable of +six. For example, <hi rend='italic'>abc</hi>, <hi rend='italic'>acb</hi>, +<hi rend='italic'>bac</hi>, <hi rend='italic'>bca</hi>, +<hi rend='italic'>cab</hi>, <hi rend='italic'>cba</hi>. Add another +letter, <hi rend='italic'>d</hi>, and the four are capable of twenty-four positions or +variations. Thus we might go on. Merely adding another letter, +<hi rend='italic'>e</hi>, and so making <emph>five</emph> instead of four, would +increase the the number of variations <emph>five</emph>-fold. They would then amount +to one hundred and twenty. A single additional letter, <hi rend='italic'>f</hi>, making +<emph>six</emph> in all, would increase this last sum of one hundred and +twenty <emph>six</emph>-fold, making seven hundred and twenty. Add a <emph>seventh</emph> +letter, <hi rend='italic'>g</hi>, and the last-named sum would be increased +<emph>seven</emph>-fold, making the sum of five thousand and forty. If we go on +thus to the end of the alphabet, we have the astonishing sum +of six hundred and twenty thousand four hundred and forty-eight +trillions, four hundred and one thousand seven hundred +and thirty-three billions, two hundred and thirty-nine thousand +four hundred and thirty-nine millions and three hundred and +sixty thousand!!! Hence it follows that, were the letters of the +alphabet to be thrown promiscuously into a vessel, to be afterwards +shaken into order by mere hap, their chance of being +arranged, not to say into words and sentences, but into their +alphabetical order, would be only as <emph>one</emph> to the above number. +All this, too, in the case of only twenty-six letters! Take +now the human frame, with its bones, tendons, nerves, muscles, +veins, arteries, ducts, glands, cartilages, etc.; and having +dissected the same, throw those parts into one promiscuous +mass; and how long, I ask, would it be ere Chance would put +them all into their appropriate places and form a perfect man? +In this calculation we are likewise to take into the account +the chances of their being placed bottom upwards, or side-ways, +or wrong side out, notwithstanding they might merely +find their appropriate places. This would increase the chances +against a well-formed system to an amount beyond all calculation +or conception. In the case of the alphabet, the chances +for the letters to fall bottom up or aslant are not included. +And when we reflect that the blind goddess, or <q>unintelligent +forces,</q> would have to contend against such fearful odds in +the case of a single individual, how long are we to suppose it +<pb n='137'/><anchor id='Pg137'/> +would be, ere from old Chaos she could shake this mighty +universe, with all its myriads upon myriads of existences, into +the glorious order and beauty in which it now exists. +</p> + +</div> + +<div> +<index index='toc'/> +<index index='pdf'/> +<head>An Atheist Is A Fool.</head> + +<p> +He can't believe that two letters can be adjusted to each +other without design, and yet he can believe all the foregoing +incredibilities. +</p> + +<p> +I might swell the list to a vast extent. I might bring into +view the verdure of the earth as being the most agreeable of +all colors to the eye; the general diffusion of the indispensibles +and necessaries of life, such as air, light, water, food, +clothing, fuel, while less necessary things, such as spices, gold, +silver, tin, lead, zinc, are less diffused; also, the infinite +variety in things—in men, for instance—by which we can distinguish +one from another. But I forbear. Is it reasonable +to conclude that, where there are possible appearances of +design, still no design is there? or even that it is probable +there is none? +</p> + +<p> +I have said that there is as much evidence of purpose in +the works of nature as in those of art. I now say that there +is more, <emph>infinitely</emph> more. Should the wheels of nature stop +their revolutions, and her energies be palsied, and life and +motion cease, even then would she exhibit incomparably +greater evidence of design, in her mere construction and +adaptation, than do the works of art. Shall we then be told +that when she is in full operation, and daily producing millions +upon millions of useful, of intelligent, of marvelous +effects, she still manifests no marks of intelligence! In +nature we not only see all the works of art infinitely exceeded, +but we see, as it were, those works self-moved and performing +their operations without external agency. To use a faint +comparison, we see a factory in motion without water, wind or +steam, its cotton placing itself within the reach of the picker, +the cards, the spinning-frame and the loom, and turning out +in rolls or cloth. Such virtually, nay, far more wonderful, is +<pb n='138'/><anchor id='Pg138'/> +the universe. Not a thousandth part so unreasonable would +it be to believe a real factory of this description, were one to +exist, to be a chance existence, as to believe this universe so. +Sooner could I suppose nature herself possessed of intelligence +than admit the idea that there is <emph>no</emph> intelligence concerned +in her organization and operations. There must be a +mind within or without her, or else we have no data by which +to distinguish mind. There must be a mind, or all the results +of mind are produced without any. There must be a mind, +or chaos produces order, blind power perfects effects, and non-intelligence +the most admirable correspondence and harmony +imaginable. Skeptics pride themselves much on their reason. +They can't believe, they say, because it is unreasonable. +<emph>What</emph> is unreasonable?

It was stated, in the +bygone, that the <q>diluvium</q> was very old, on account of the +absence of human remains, but since man's remains have been +found there, it is inferred that man is very ancient; whereas, +the truth is, the mammoth is <emph>very recent</emph>. In many instances +their bones are so fresh that they contain twenty-seven per +cent. of animal substance; in some instances the flesh is still +upon their bones, with their last meal in their stomachs. +</p> + +<p> +Mr. Boyd Dawkins has furnished us with a thrilling narrative +of the discovery of a mammoth in 1846, by Mr. Benkendorf, +close to the mouth of the Indigirka. This mammoth +<pb n='139'/><anchor id='Pg139'/> +was disentombed during the great thaw of the summer. The +description is given in the following language: <q rend='pre'>In 1846 there +was unusually warm weather in the north of Siberia. Already +in May unusual rains poured over the moors and bogs; storms +shook the earth, and the streams carried not only ice to the +sea, but also large tracts of land. We steamed on the first +day up the Indigirka, but there were no thoughts of land; +we saw around us only a sea of dirty brown water, and knew +the river only by the rushing and roaring of the stream. The +river rolled against us trees, moss, and large masses of peat, +so that it was only with great trouble and danger that we +could proceed. At the end of the second day we were only a +short distance up the stream; some one had to stand with the +sounding-rod in hand continually, and the boat received so +many shocks that it shuddered to the keel. A wooden vessel +would have been smashed. Around us we saw nothing but +the flooded land.... The Indigirka, here, had torn +up the land and worn itself a fresh channel, and when the +waters sank we saw, to our astonishment, that the old river-bed +had become merely that of an insignificant stream.... +The stream rolled over and tore up the soft, wet ground +like chaff, so that it was dangerous to go near the brink. While +we were all quiet, we heard under our feet a sudden gurgling +and stirring, which betrayed the working of the disturbed +water. Suddenly our jagger, ever on the look-out, called +loudly, and pointed to a singular and unshapely object, which +rose and sank.... Now we all hastened to the +spot on shore, had the boat drawn near, and waited until the +mysterious thing should again show itself. Our patience was +tried, but at last a black, horrible giant-like mass was thrust +out of the water, and we beheld a colossal elephant's head, +armed with mighty tusks, with its long trunk moving in the +water in an unearthly manner, as though seeking for something +lost therein.... I beheld the monster hardly +twelve feet from me, with his half-open eyes yet showing the +whites. It was still in good preservation....</q> +</p> + +<pb n='140'/><anchor id='Pg140'/> + +<p> +<q>Picture to yourself an elephant with a body covered with +thick fur, about thirteen feet in height and fifteen in length, +with tusks eight feet long, thick, and curving outward at their +ends, a stout trunk of six feet in length, colossal limbs of one +and a half feet in thickness, and a tail naked up to the end, +which was covered with thick tufty hair. The animal was fat +and well grown; death had overtaken him in the fulness of his +powers. His parchment-like, large, naked ears lay turned up +over the head; about the shoulders and on the back he had +stiff hair, about a foot in length, like a mane. The long outer +hair was deep brown and coarsely rooted. The top of the head +looked so wild and so penetrated with pitch that it resembled +the rind of an old oak tree. On the sides it was cleaner, and +under the outer hair there appeared everywhere a wool, very +soft, warm and thick, and of a fallow-brown color. The giant +was well protected against the cold. The whole appearance +of the animal was fearfully strange and wild. It had not the +shape of our present elephants. As compared with our Indian +elephants, its head was rough, the brain-case low and narrow, +but the trunk and mouth were much larger. The teeth were +very powerful. Our elephant is an awkward animal, but compared +with this mammoth, it is an Arabian steed to a coarse, +ugly dray horse. I had the stomach separated and brought on +one side. It was well filled, and the contents instructive and +well preserved. The principal were young shoots of the fir +and pine; a quantity of young fir cones, also in a chewed state, +were mixed with the moss.</q> +</p> + +<p> +Mammoth bones are found in great abundance in the islands +off the northern coast of Siberia. The remains of the rhinoceros +are also found. Pallas, in 1772, obtained from Wiljuiskoi, +in latitude 64°, a rhinoceros taken from the sand in +which it had been frozen. This carcass emitted an odor like +putrid flesh, part of the skin being covered with short, crisp +wool and with black and gray hairs. Professor Brandt, in +1846, extracted from the cavities in the molar teeth of this +skeleton a small quantity of half-chewed pine leaves and coniferous +wood. And the blood-vessels in the interior of the +<pb n='141'/><anchor id='Pg141'/> +head appeared filled, even to the capillary vessels, with coagulated +blood, which in many places still retained its original +red color. +</p> + +<p> +We find that Mr. Boyd Dawkins and Mr. Sanford assert +that the cave-lion is only a large variety of the existing lion—identical +in species. Herodotus says: <q>The camels in the +army of Xerxes, near the mountains of Thessaly, <emph>were attacked +by lions</emph>.</q> +</p> + +<p> +Sir John Lubbock, in his Prehistoric Times, page 293, +says the cave-hyena <q>is now regarded as scarcely distinguishable +specifically from the <hi rend='italic'>Hyæna crocuta</hi>, or spotted hyena of +Southern Africa,</q> while Mr. Busk and M. Gervais identify +the <emph>cave-bear</emph> with the <hi rend='italic'>Ursus ferox</hi>, or grizzly bear +of North America. What is the bearing of these facts on the question +of the antiquity of the remains found in the bone caverns? +</p> + +<p> +Do these facts justify men in carrying human remains, +found along with the remains of these animals in the caves, +back to the remote period of one or two hundred thousand +years?—a long time, this, for flesh upon the bones and food +in the stomach to remain in a state of preservation. +</p> + +<p> +<q>So fresh is the ivory throughout Northern Russia,</q> says +Lyell, <hi rend='italic'>Principles, vol. 1, p. 183</hi>, <q>that, according to Tilesius, +thousands of fossil tusks have been collected and used in +turning.</q> +</p> + +<p> +Mr. Dawkins says: <q>We are compelled to hold that the +cave-lion which preyed upon the mammoth, the woolly rhinoceros +and musk-sheep in Great Britain, is a mere geographical +variety of the great carnivore that is found alike in the +tropical parts of Asia and throughout the whole of Africa.</q> +Popular Science Review for 1869, p. 153. It has been customary +to speak of all these animals as <q><emph>the great extinct</emph> +mammalia,</q> and to regard them all as much larger than existing +animals of the same kind, but three of the most +important still exist, and the cave-lions, at least some of the +specimens, were smaller than the lion of the present. According +to Sir John Lubbock the <q>Irish elk, the elephants +and the three species of rhinoceros are, perhaps, the only +<pb n='142'/><anchor id='Pg142'/> +ones which are absolutely extinct.</q> Prehistoric Times, p. +290. <q>Out of seventeen principal <q>palæolithic</q> mammalia, +ten, until recently, were regarded <q>extinct;</q> but it is now believed +that the above-mentioned elk, elephants and rhinoceros +are the only extinct mammalia. Dr. Wilson affirms that +skeletons of the Irish elk have been found at Curragh, +Ireland, in marshes, some of the bones of which were in such +fresh condition that the marrow is described as having the appearance +of fresh suet, and burning with a clear flame.</q> +</p> + +<p> +Professor Agassiz admits the continuance of the Irish elk +to the fourteenth century to be <q>probable.</q> It is certain that +this elk continued in Ireland down to what is claimed as the +age of iron, and possibly in Germany down to the twelfth +century. It is also certain that it was a companion of the +mammoth and of the woolly rhinoceros. The aurochs, or +European bison, whose remains are found in the river gravel +and the older bone caves, is mentioned by Pliny and Seneca. +They speak of it as existing in their time; it is also named in +the Niebelungen Lied. It existed in Prussia as late as 1775, +and is still found wild in the Caucasus. The present Emperor +of Russia has twelve herds, which are protected in the forests +of Lithuania. During the session of the International Archæological +Congress at Stockholm, in 1874, the members of the +body made an excursion to the isle of Bjorko, in Lake Malar, +near Stockholm, where there is an ancient cemetery of two +thousand tumuli. Within a few hundred yards from this is +the site of the ancient town. Several trenches were run through +this locality, and many relics obtained by the members of the +congress. On the occasion Dr. Stolpe, who was familiar with +the previous discoveries at this point, delivered a lecture on +the island and its remains. They all, he stated, belong to the +second age of iron in Sweden, and consisted of implements of +iron, ornaments of bronze, and animal bones; Kufic coins have +been found, along with cowrie-shells, and silver bracelets. +The number of animal bones met with is immense, more than +fifty species being represented, and what is especially noteworthy, +<emph>the marrow bones were all crushed or split</emph>, just as in +<pb n='143'/><anchor id='Pg143'/> +the palæeolithic times. The principal wild beasts were the +lynx, the wolf, the fox, the beaver, the elk, the <emph>reindeer</emph>, etc. +Dr. Stolpe refers the formation of this <q>pre-historic</q> city to +<q>about the middle of the eighth century after Christ,</q> and +says it was probably destroyed <q>about the middle of the +eleventh century.</q> +</p> + +<p> +<q>During this period the reindeer existed in this part of +Sweden.</q> +</p> + +<p> +Recent scientific discovery demands that we should almost +modernize the animals we used to regard as belonging to a +period of a hundred thousand years ago. +</p> + +<p> +<q>Scientists have been addicted to unwise and inconsiderate +haste in the announcement of new theories touching alleged +facts; they have blundered repeatedly in their efforts to confound +the Christian and set aside Moses.

The history of the affair reminds us of the +ghost stories that frighten people in their boyish days. There +was, in truth, no foundation for the sensation. Mr. Draper +never intended that his work entitled <q>Conflict between Religion +and Science,</q> should be construed to mean Conflict +between the Bible and Science, or between Christianity, as +set forth by the primitive Christians and science, but conflict +<pb n='144'/><anchor id='Pg144'/> +between apostate religion and science; or, rather, between +corruptors of the ancient religion and science. +</p> + +<p> +He says, <q>I have had little to say respecting the two great +Christian confessions, the protestant and the Greek churches. +As to the latter, it has never, since the restoration of science, +arrayed itself in opposition to the advancement of knowledge. +On the contrary, it has always met it with welcome. It has +observed a reverential attitude to truth, from whatever quarter +it might come. Recognizing the apparent discrepancies +between its interpretations of revealed truth and the discoveries +of science, it has always expected that satisfactory explanations +and reconciliations would ensue, <emph>and in this it has not +been disappointed</emph>.</q> Will all who read these lines take notice +that Mr. Draper takes the Christian's side in the above statement. +<q><emph>In this it has not been disappointed.</emph></q> In what? +Answer—Its expectation that satisfactory explanations and +reconciliations would follow the discoveries of science, by +means of which apparent discrepancies between the church's +interpretations of revealed truth and the discoveries of +science would disappear. Mr. Draper adds, <q>It would have +been well for modern civilization if the Roman church had +done the same.</q> He guards his readers by the following: <q>In +speaking of Christianity, reference is generally made to the +Roman church, partly because its adherents compose the majority +of Christendom, partly because its demands are the +most pretentious, and partly because it has commonly sought +to enforce those demands by the civil power. None of the +protestant churches have ever occupied a position so imperious, +none have ever had such widespread political influence. +For the most part they have been averse to constraint, and +except in very few instances their opposition has not passed +beyond the exciting of theological odium.</q> Preface, pp. 10, 11. +</p> + +<p> +On pages 215 and 216, speaking upon the great question of +the proper relations of Christianity and science, Mr. Draper +says: <q>In the annals of Christianity the most ill-omened +day is that in which she separated herself from science.

Hear him: +<q>Then has it, <emph>in truth</emph>, come to this, that Roman Christianity +and science are recognized by their respective adherents as being +absolutely incompatible; they can not exist together; one must +yield to the other; mankind must make its choice—it can not +have both. While such is, perhaps, the issue as regards +Catholicism, a reconciliation of the reformation with science +is not only possible, but would easily take place if the protestant +churches would only live up to their maxim taught by Luther +and established by so many years of war. That maxim +is the right of private interpretation of the scriptures. It was +the foundation of intellectual liberty.</q> (Did Luther say the +foundation of intellectual liberty?) But if a personal interpretation +of the book of Revelation is permissible, how can it +be denied in the case of the book of nature? In the misunderstandings +that have taken place, we must ever bear in mind +the infirmities of men. The generations that immediately followed +the reformation may perhaps be excused for not comprehending +the full significance of cardinal principle, and for not +on all occasions carrying it into effect. When Calvin caused +Servetus to be burnt he was animated, not by the principles of +<pb n='146'/><anchor id='Pg146'/> +the reformation, but by those of Catholicism, from which he +had not been able to emancipate himself completely. And +when the clergy of influential protestant confessions have stigmatized +the investigators of nature as infidels and atheists, the +same may be said. (No man should be called by a name that +does not truthfully represent him.)

It is taken +from Wood's History of the Uncivilized Races: +</p> + +<p> +The Fijians are more devoted to cannibalism than the New +Zealanders, and their records are still more appalling. A New +Zealander has sometimes the grace to feel ashamed of mentioning +the subject in the hearing of an European, whereas it is +impossible to make a Fijian really feel that in eating human +flesh he has committed an unworthy act. He sees, indeed, +that the white man exhibits great disgust at cannibalism, but +in his heart he despises him for wasting such luxurious food +as human flesh.... The natives are clever enough at +concealing the existence of cannibalism when they find that it +shocks the white men. An European cotton grower, who had +tried unsuccessfully to introduce the culture of cotton into +Fiji, found, after a tolerable long residence, that four or five +human beings were killed and eaten weekly. There was plenty +of food in the place, pigs were numerous, and fish, fruit and +vegetables abundant. But the people ate human bodies as +often as they could get them, not from any superstitious motive, +<pb n='147'/><anchor id='Pg147'/> +but simply because they preferred human flesh to pork.... +Many of the people actually take a pride in the +number of human bodies which they have eaten. One chief +was looked upon with great respect on account of his feats of +cannibalism, and the people gave him a title of honor. They +called him the Turtle-pond, comparing his insatiable stomach +to the pond in which turtles are kept; and so proud were they +of his deeds, that they even gave a name of honor to the bodies +brought for his consumption, calling them the <q>Contents of +the Turtle-pond.</q> ... One man gained a great name +among his people by an act of peculiar atrocity. He told his +wife to build an oven, to fetch firewood for heating it, and to +prepare a bamboo knife. As soon as she had concluded her +labors her husband killed her, and baked her in the oven +which her own hands had prepared, and afterward ate her. +Sometimes a man has been known to take a victim, bind him +hand and foot, cut slices from his arms and legs, and eat them +before his eyes. Indeed, the Fijians are so inordinately vain +that they will do anything, no matter how horrible, in order +to gain a name among their people; and Dr. Pritchard, who +knows them thoroughly, expresses his wonder that some chief +did not eat slices from his own limbs. +</p> + +<p> +<q>Cannibalism is ingrained in the very nature of the Fijian, +and extends through all classes of society. It is true that +there are some persons who have never eaten human flesh, but +there is always a reason for it. Women, for example, are seldom +known to eat <q>bakolo,</q> as human flesh is termed, and there +are a few men who have refrained from cannibalism through +superstition. Every Fijian has his special god, who is supposed +to have his residence in some animal. One god, for +example, lives in a rat, another in a shark, and so on. The +worshiper of that god never eats the animal in which his +divinity resides, and as some gods are supposed to reside in +human beings, their worshipers never eat the flesh of man.</q> +</p> + +<p> +Recent History Of The Same People In Brief. +</p> + +<p> +<q>In the Fiji islands, where half a century ago the favorite +dish of food was human flesh, there are at present eight hundred +<pb n='148'/><anchor id='Pg148'/> +and forty-one chapels, and two hundred and ninety-one +other places where preaching is held, with fifty-eight missionaries +busily engaged in preparing the way for others. The +membership numbers twenty-three thousand two hundred and +seventy-four persons.</q> <hi rend='italic'>The Evangelist of January 29, 1880.</hi> +It is possible that some infidel might have been literally +eaten up had it not been for the influence of the Bible. <q>According +to the accounts of some of the older chiefs, whom we +may believe or not as we like, there was once a time when +cannibalism did not exist. Many years ago some strangers +from a distant land were blown upon the shores of Fiji, and +received hospitably by the islanders, who incorporated them +into their own tribes, and made much of them. But, in process +of time, these people became too powerful, killed the +Fijian chiefs, took their wives and property, and usurped +their office.</q> +</p> + +<p> +In the emergency the people consulted the priests, who said +that the Fijians had brought their misfortunes upon themselves. +They had allowed strangers to live, whereas <q>Fiji for +the Fijians</q> was the golden rule, and from that time every +male stranger was to be killed and eaten, and every woman +taken as a wife. The only people free from this law were +the Tongans. +</p> + +<p> +The state of the Fijians is wonderfully changed—even an +American infidel may now visit those people without being +flayed and roasted and devoured. +</p> + +<p> +<q rend='pre'>The Samoan islands have been entirely christianized. +Out of a population of forty thousand, thirty-five thousand +are connected with Christian churches.</q> +</p> + +<p> +<q>In 1830 the native Christians in India, Burmah, and North +and South Ceylon numbered 57,000.

The materialist says, <q>He is the highest +order of the animal kingdom, or an animal gifted with intelligence.</q> +If such be true, it may be said with equal propriety, +that animals are men without reason. Are they? Does manhood +consist in mere physical form? Can you find it in simple +physical nature? Man holds many things in his physical +nature in common with the animal; but is he, on this account, +to be considered as a mere animal? There are plants that +seem to form a bridge over the chasm lying between the vegetable +and animal kingdoms. Are those plants animals +without sensation? Why not? What is the logical and +scientific difference between saying plants, which make the +nearest approach to the animal are animals without sensation, +and saying animals are men without intelligence? Let it be +understood at all times, that if man is simply an animal endowed +with the gift of reason, an animal may be simply a +vegetable endowed with the gift of sensation. <q>The bodies of +mere animals are clothed with scales, feathers, fur, wool or +bristles, which interpose between the skin and the elements +that surround and affect the living animal.</q> All these insensible +protectors <q>ally animals more closely to the nature of +vegetables.</q> +</p> + +<p> +<q>The body of a human being has a beautiful, thin, highly +sensitive skin, which is not covered with an insensitive, lifeless +veil.</q> Man's body is in noble contrast with all mere animals. +It is so formed that its natural position is erect. <q>The eyes +are in front; the ligaments of the neck are not capable of +supporting, for any considerable length of time, the head when +hanging down; the horizontal position would force the blood +to the head so violently that stupor would be the result. The +mouth serves the mind as well as the body itself. According +to the most critical calculation, the muscles of the mouth are +so movable that it may pronounce fifteen hundred letters.</q> +What a wonderful musical instrument. +</p> + +<pb n='150'/><anchor id='Pg150'/> + +<p> +The mouth of the mere animal serves only physical purposes. +</p> + +<p> +Man turns his head from right to left, from earth to sky, +from the slimy trail of the crustacean in the ocean's bottom to +the contemplation of the innumerable stars in the heavens. +The human body was created for the mind; its structure is +correlated with mind. The animal has a sentient life; man +an intelligent, reasoning nature. +</p> + +<p> +When animals are infuriated and trample beneath their feet +everything that lies in their way, we do not say they are <emph>insane</emph>, +but <emph>mad</emph>. <q>Man is an intelligent spirit,</q> or mind, <q>served +by an organism.</q> We know that mind exists by our consciousness +of that which passes within us. The propriety of +the sayings of Descartes, <q><emph>I think, therefore I am</emph>,</q> rests upon +the consciousness that we are thinking beings. This intelligence +is not obtained by the exercise of any of the senses. It +does not depend upon external surroundings. Its existence +is a fact of consciousness, of certain knowledge, and hence a +fact in mental science. +</p> + +<p> +We are continually conscious of the existence of the mind, +which makes its own operations the object of its own thought; +that it should have no existence is a contradiction in language. +</p> + +<p> +Experience teaches us that the materialistic theory of the +existence of the mind is utterly false. In an act of perception +I distinguish the pen in my hand, and the hand itself, +from my mind which perceives them. This distinction is a +fact of the faculty of perception—a particular fact of a particular +faculty. But the general fact of a general distinction +of which this is only a special case, is the distinction of the <emph>I</emph> +and <emph>not I</emph>, which belongs to the consciousness as the general +faculty. He who denies the contrast between mind-knowing +and matter-known is dishonest, for it is a fact of consciousness, +and such can not be honestly denied. The facts given +in consciousness itself can not be honestly doubted, much less +denied. +</p> + +<p> +Materialists have claimed that mind is simply the result of +the molecular action of the brain. This theory is as unreal as +<pb n='151'/><anchor id='Pg151'/> +Banquo's ghost—it will not bear a moment's investigation. It +is simply confounding the action of the mind upon the brain +with the mind itself. Every effect must have a cause. When +I make a special mental effort what is the cause lying behind +the effort? Is it the molecular action of the brain? I <emph>will +to</emph> make the effort, and do it. Then will power lies behind +brain action. But power is a manifest energy; there is something +lying behind it to which it belongs as an attribute; +what is it? Answer, <emph>will</emph>. But, where there is a <emph>will</emph> there +must of a necessity be that which <emph>wills</emph>. What is it that <emph>wills</emph> +to make a special mental effort—that lies away back <q>behind +the throne</q> and controls the helm? It is evidently the I, +<emph>myself</emph>, the <q>inner man,</q> <emph>the spirit</emph>. On one occasion, when +some of the disciples of the Nazarene were sleepy, Jesus said +to them, <q>The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.</q> +It is the spirit that <emph>wills</emph> to make a special mental effort. +Here is the <q><emph>font</emph></q> of all our ideas. <q>What man knoweth +the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?</q> +1 Cor., ii, 11. <emph>Will</emph>, as an effect, belongs to the spirit of +man, as <emph>the cause</emph> lying behind. Beyond this no man can +trace this subject, short of crossing over from the spirit of +man to the invisible Father of spirits. The spirit of man is a +<emph>wonderful intelligence</emph>! <q>The body without the spirit is dead, +being alone.</q> When we analyze the physical structure back to +the germ and sperm-cells we are brought face to face with the +invisible builder. Call it what you may, it still remains the +same invisible architect, which, being matter's master, built +the organism. We live, and breathe; we die, and cease +breathing. Dead bodies do not breathe. Therefore, life lies +behind breath, and spirit behind life. So life and breath are +both effects, which find their ultimate or cause in <emph>spirit</emph>. +This at once sets aside all that materialists have said in order +to show that spirit and breath are one and the same. The +original term, translated by the term spirit has, in its history, +away back in the past, a <emph>physical</emph> currency. The old-fashioned +materialist or <q>soul-sleeper</q> finds his fort in this fact. +His entire aim is to get the people back to an old and obsolete +<pb n='152'/><anchor id='Pg152'/> +currency of the term <q><emph>pneuma</emph>.</q> If we lay aside words +which were used in a physical sense, in times gone by, we +will not have many words to express the ideas embraced in +mental science. In ancient times <q><emph>pneuma</emph></q> signified both +mind and wind, or air. In later times it lost its physical currency, +and no longer signifies, in its general currency, breath +or air. The adjective, <q><emph>pneumatikos</emph>,</q> is <emph>never used</emph> +in a physical sense. It came into use too late. +</p> + +<p> +We have many examples of old meanings passing away +from words. <q><foreign lang='la' rend='italic'>Sapientia</foreign>,</q> in Latin +originally meant only the power of tasting. At present it means <emph>wisdom</emph>, +<emph>prudence</emph>, <emph>discretion</emph>, <emph>discernment</emph>, +<emph>good sense</emph>, <emph>knowledge</emph>, <emph>practical wisdom</emph>, +<emph>philosophy</emph>, <emph>calmness</emph>, <emph>patience</emph>. The word +<q><foreign rend='italic'>sagacitas</foreign>,</q> originally meant only the faculty +of <emph>scenting</emph>, now it means +the power of seeing or perceiving anything easily. In old +literature we may read of the sagacity of dogs; keenness of +scent. But it is now sharpness of wit; keenness of perception, +subtilty, shrewdness, acuteness, penetration, ingenuity. The +terms, <q>attentio,</q> <q>intentio,</q> <q>comprehensio,</q> <q>apprehensio,</q> +<q>penetratio,</q> and understanding are all just so many bodily +actions transferred to the expression of <emph>mental energies</emph>. +There is just the same reason for giving to all these terms +their old, obsolete, physical currency that there is for giving +to pneuma, or spirit, the old obsolete currency of wind or air. +You must ever remember that it is the business of lexicographers +in giving the history of words, to set before you the +first as well as the latest use of terms.

From this definition you +discover that a myth is _always_ a counterfeit, and as such always appears +in evidence in favor of something more or less remote, that is true. Now, +if the Bible had a mythical origin, it sustains some analogy to something +found in the mythical or fictitious and fanciful narratives concerning the +gods, and is therefore the myth of a myth; the counterfeit of a +counterfeit. If such be the truth in the case, where do we find the origin +of the myths from which "Bible myths" have descended? Is it found in the +true God presiding over the elements of nature and the destinies of men, +as well as the events of creation and providence? Or, can it be possible +that we have many counterfeits _without a genuine_? Many myths sustaining +no analogy, either near or remote, to anything real? It is an absurdity, +destructive of the term employed, because _myths_ cease to be _myths_ +without some near or remote relation to realities. They _must_ sustain +some analogy to something real. And _counterfeits_ also cease to be +_counterfeits_ when it is shown that they sustain no relation, through +analogy or likeness, to anything that is genuine. In the mythical systems +of olden times we have, in the midst of a vast deal of false and fanciful +narrative concerning subordinate and secondary gods, evidence of a supreme +God presiding over all things; and the secondary gods performing many +things which belonged to the province of the "Almighty One," with many +degrading, vile and corrupting habits. + +A letter written by Maximus, a Numidian, to Augustin, reads thus: "Now, +that there is a sovereign God, who is without beginning, and who, without +having begotten anything like unto Himself, is, nevertheless, the Father +and the former of all things, what man can be gross and stupid enough to +doubt? He it is of whom, under different names, we adore the eternal power +extending through every part of the world, thus honoring separately by +different sorts of worship what may be called His several members, we +adore Him entirely. May those subordinate gods preserve you under whose +names, and by whom all we mortals upon earth adore the common Father of +gods and men." In this letter we have a clear presentation of the mythical +system concerning the ancient gods, and also the "analagous relation" to +the "Master God." Each god having his particular dominion over place or +passion, appears before us as a representative of the supreme, or "Master +God;" and by worshiping each member or God they claimed to adore entirely +the "common Father of gods and men." Augustin answers, In your public +square there are _two statues_ of Mars, one naked, the other armed; and +close by the figure of a man who, with three fingers advanced towards +Mars, holds in check that divinity so dangerous to the whole town. With +regard to what you say of such gods being portions of the only "true God," +I take the liberty you gave me to warn you not to fall into such a +sacrilege; for that only God, of whom you speak, is doubtless He who is +acknowledged by the whole world, and concerning whom, as some of the +ancients have said, the ignorant agree with the learned. Now, will you say +that Mars, whose strength is represented by an inanimate man, is a portion +of that God? That is to say, the dead statue controls Mars, and Mars is a +subordinate god representing the infinite God, and is, therefore, a part +of that God. Augustin adds, Not the Pantheon and all the temples +consecrated to the inferior gods, nor even the temples consecrated to the +twelve greater gods prevented "Deus Optimus Maximus," God most good, most +great, from being acknowledged throughout the empire. Voltaire says, "In +spite of all the follies of the people who venerated secondary and +ridiculous gods, and in spite of the Epicurians, who in reality +acknowledged none, it is verified that in all times the magistrates and +wise adored one sovereign God." Secondary gods were _myths_, counterfeits, +sustaining the _relation_ of counterfeits. The ancients attributed their +own passions to the "Master God," and had subordinate gods representing +passions. They also had a god for each part of His dominion; and these +gods they called members of the true God, and claimed to worship Him, by +worshiping all the members or gods. Mars was the god of war; Bacchus was +the god of drunkenness. They had a god for this and a god for that. The +ancient pagans seemed to think that infinite divisibility belonged to the +"true God," for they distinguished between passions, and divided up the +universe among the gods until they had it crammed full of subordinate and +ridiculous gods, each one a member of Jehovah, and each member a part of +the great mythical system. + +Now, in order to establish the proposition that our religion is of +mythical origin, it is necessary to show, first, that the Bible was +written this side of or during the age of myths, and, having done this, it +is necessary to show that the Hebrew people were a mythical people; +neither of which can be accomplished. It will not be amiss to present in +this connection a statement given by Justin to the Greeks. He says: "Of +all your teachers, whether sages, poets, historians, philosophers, or +law-givers, by far the oldest, as the Greek historians show us, was +Moses.... For in the times of Ogyges and Inachus, whom some of your poets +have supposed to have been earth-born--that is, to have sprung from the +soil, and hence one of the oldest inhabitants--_the aborigines_, Moses is +mentioned as the leader and ruler of the Jewish nation." He is mentioned +as a very ancient and time-honored prince in the Athenian, Attic and +Grecian histories. Polemon, in his first book of Hellenics, mentions Moses +as the leader and ruler of the Jewish nation. Ptolemaeus, in his history of +Egypt, bears the same testimony. Apion, an Egyptian writer, in his book +against the Jews, says "Moses led them." Dr. Shaw, a modern traveler, says +the inhabitants of Corondel, on the eastern side of the Red Sea, to this +day preserve the remembrance of the deliverance of the children of Israel +from their bondage in Egypt. Diodorus, the most renowned Greek historian, +who employed thirty years epitomizing the libraries, and traveled over +Asia and Europe for the sake of great accuracy, who wrote forty volumes of +history, says he learned from the Egyptian priests that Moses was an +ancient law-giver. + +It seems to us that, no sane man, who is acquainted with the ancient +mythicals, can regard the religion of the Bible as a child of mythical +descent. It is as deadly in its influence upon those myths, and all +mythical worship, as it could be made by an infinite mind. + +Voltaire says "the character of the mythical gods is ridiculous;" we will +add, it is ridiculous in the extreme. Listen--Hesiod, in his theogony, +says: "Chronos, the son of Ouranos, or Saturn, son of Heaven, in the +beginning slew his father, and possessed himself of his rule, and, being +seized with a panic lest he should suffer in the same way, he preferred +devouring his children, but Curetes, a subordinate god, by craft, conveyed +Jupiter away in secret and afterwards bound his brother with chains, and +divided the empire, Jupiter receiving the air, and Neptune the deep, and +Pluto Hades." + +Pros-er-pi-ne, Mella-nip-pe, Neptune, Pluto and Jupiter are all set forth +in the mythical writings as adulterers. Jupiter was regarded as more +frequently involved in that crime, being set down as guilty in many +instances. For the love of Sem-e-le, it is said that he assumed wings and +proved his own unchastity and her jealousy. These are some of the exploits +of the sons of Saturn. Hercules was celebrated by his three nights, sung +by the poets for his successful labors. + +The son of Jupiter slew the Lion, and destroyed the many-headed Hydra; was +able to kill the fleet man-eating birds, and brought up from hades the +three-headed dog, Cerberus; effectually cleansed the Augean stable from +its refuse; killed the bulls and stag whose nostrils breathed fire; slew +the poisonous serpent and killed Ach-e-lo-us. The guest-slaying Bu-si-ris +was delighted with being stunned by the cymbals of the Sat-yrs, and to be +conquered with the love of women; and at last, being unable to take the +cloak off of Nessus, he kindled his own funeral pile and died. Such are +specimens of the ancient myths. Their character is such as to leave an +impassible gulf between them and the character of the God revealed in our +religion. No development theory, seeking the origin of our religion in the +old mythical system, can bridge across this chasm. It is as deep and broad +as the distance between the antipodes. There is no analogy between these +counterfeits or myths and the "true God," save that remote power of God +which is divided up and parceled out among them. Their morals were the +worst. The whole mythical system is simply one grand demonstration of +human apostacy from the "true God." Homer introduces Zeus in love, and +bitterly complaining and bewailing himself, and plotted against by the +other gods. He represents the gods as suffering at the hands of men. Mars +and Venus were wounded by Di-o-me-de. He says, "Great Pluto's self the +stinging arrow felt when that same son of Jupiter assailed him in the very +gates of hell, and wrought him keenest anguish. Pierced with pain, to the +high Olympus, to the courts of Jupiter groaning he came. The bitter shaft +remained deep in his shoulder fixed, and grieved his soul." In the +mythical system the gods are not presented as creators or first causes. +Homer says, They were in the beginning generated from the waters of the +ocean, and thousands were added by deifying departed heroes and +philosophers. The thought of one supreme Intelligence, the "God of Gods,", +runs through all the system of myths. It is found anterior to the myths, +and, therefore, could not have had its origin with them. The character +ascribed to our God, in our scriptures, has no place among the ancient +myths. They hold the "Master God" before us only in connection with power, +being altogether ignorant of His true character. They even went so far as +to attribute much to Him that was ridiculous. One of the ancients said, +"The utmost that a man can do is to attribute to the being he worships his +imperfections and impurities, magnified to infinity, it may be, and then +become worse by their reflex action upon his own nature." This was +verified in the ancient mythical religion, without exception, and without +doubt. + +"The character of all the gods was simply human character extended in all +its powers, appetites, lusts and passions. Scholars say there is no +language containing words that express the Scriptural ideas of holiness +and abhorrence of sin, except those in which the Scriptures were given, or +into which they have been translated. These attributes must be known in +order to salvation from sin, so God revealed Himself and gave the world a +pure religion, as a standard of right and wrong, and guide in duty, and +rule of life." + +The history of the ancient nations of the earth gives a united testimony +that their original progenitors possessed a knowledge of the one true and +living God, who was worshiped by them, and believed to be an infinite, +self-existent and invisible spirit. This notion was never entirely +extinguished even among the idolatrous worshipers. Greek and Latin poets +were great corrupters of theology, yet in the midst of all their Gods +there is still to be found, in their writings, the notion of one supreme +in power and rule, whom they confound with Jupiter. + +The age of myths began with the tenth generation after the flood. The +evidence of this is given by Plato from one of the ancient poets in these +words: "It was the generation _then the tenth_, of men endowed with +speech, since forth the flood had burst upon the men of former times, and +Kronos, Japetus and Titan reigned, whom men of Ouranos proclaimed the +noblest sons, and named them so, because of men _endowed with gift of +speech_, they were the first," that is to say, they were orators, "and +others for their strength, as Heracles and Perseus, and others for their +art. Those to whom either the subjects gave honor, or the rulers +themselves _assuming it_, obtained the name, some from fear, others from +reverence. Thus Antinous, through the benevolence of your ancestors toward +their subjects, came to be regarded as a god. But those who came after +adopted the worship without examination." So testifies one who was +schooled in philosophy. Do you say there are points of similitude between +the Bible religion and the mythical? It would be strange if there were +none, seeing that the mythical is truly what the term signifies, a +counterfeit upon the genuine, or Biblical. + +The points of disagreement, however, are such as to demonstrate the fact +that the ancient mythical people knew not the character of the Being, whom +they conceived to be the "God of Gods and the Father of Gods and men." +Those who confound the Bible with the ancient myths upon the score of the +analogy that exists between it and the myths, remind me of a very learned +gentleman with whom I was once walking around an oat field, when he +remarked, "_there_ is a very fine piece of wheat." The man had been +brought up in an eastern city, and was unable to distinguish between oats +and wheat. I knew a gentleman who asked a man, standing by the side of an +old-fashioned flax-break, what he thought it was used for? The man took +hold of the handle, lifted it up and let it down a few times, and said: +"It looks like it might be used to chop up sausage meat." It is very +natural for us to draw comparisons, and when we do not make ourselves +familiar with things and their uses, we are very liable to be led into +error by a few points of similitude. All the infidels with whom I have +become acquainted look upon the Bible like the man looked upon the +flax-break, and like the man looked upon the oat field. If one had looked +upon the flax-break who was familiar with it, he never could have dreamed +of chopping sausage meat; and if the other had been familiar with wheat +and oats, as they present themselves to the eye in the field in the month +of June, he never would have called the oats wheat. And if any sane man +will make himself familiar with both the Bible and the old system of myths +and mythical worship, he will never confound the two. There are a thousand +things, very different in character and origin, which have points of +similitude. But similitude never proves identity short of completeness. +While the analogy between the ancient mythical system of gods and their +worship and the true God and His worship is restricted to power and +intelligence, there exists a contrast between them deep as heaven is high +and broad as the earth in point of moral character, virtue, and every +ennobling and lovable attribute. + +There is an old myth in the Vedas--a god called "Chrishna." The Vedas claim +that he is in the form of a man; that he is black; that he is dressed in +flowers and ribbons; that he is the father of a great many gods. It is +surprising to see the eagerness with which some men bring up "Chrishna" in +comparison with the Greek term "Christos"--Christ, and confound the two. +The words are entirely different, save in a jingle of sound. They are no +more alike than the terms _catechist_--one who instructs by questions and +answers, and the term catechu--a dry, brown astringent extract. We could +give many such examples in the history of unbelievers and their war upon +the Bible, but this must suffice for the present. The truth is this: such +men, as a general rule, neither understand the Bible in its teachings and +character, nor the ancient mythical system. In it Jupiter, among the +Romans, and throughout every language, appears before us as the "Father of +Gods and men"--"the God of gods," the "Master of the gods." Voltaire says: +It is false that Cicero, or any other Roman, ever said that it did not +become the majesty of the empire to acknowledge a Supreme God. Their +Jupiter, the Zeus of the Greeks and the Jehovah of the Phonecians, was +always considered as the master of the secondary gods. He adds: But is not +Jupiter, the master of all the gods, a word belonging to every nation, +from the Euphrates to the Tiber? Among the first Romans it was _Jov_, +_Jovis_; among the Greeks, _Zeus_; among the Phonecians and Syrians and +Egyptians, _Jehovah_. The last term is the Hebrew scriptural name of +God--denoting _permanent being_--in perfect keeping with the Bible title or +descriptive appellation, "I AM THAT I AM." + +The ancient worshipers of the gods had lost all but the name, _power_ and +relation, which they ever knew of Jehovah. And they could do no more than +clothe Jupiter with their own imperfections and impurities--and then place +him above all the gods; it was necessary for them to view him as excelling +in all the characteristics of the secondary gods. And having attributed to +the gods all they knew of human passions and corruptions, they clothed +Jupiter himself with more villainy and corruption than belonged to any +other god. In this was the great blasphemous sacrilege of ancient +idolatry. They thus demonstrated their own apostacy; and the fact that +their system of gods was a counterfeit, a mythical system. They were +destitute of any standard of right and wrong, having no conceptions of the +divine character which were not drawn from their own imperfect and corrupt +lives. The divine character, as revealed in the revelation of Christ, and +presented to us as God manifest in the flesh, is at once the very opposite +of the characters given in the myths. The distance between the two is the +distance between the lowest degradation of God-like power exercised in the +lowest passions, and the sublimity of Heaven's own spotless life. I love +the religion of the Scriptures, because it restores to the race the lost +knowledge of God and the additional life of Jesus--the only perfect model +known in the history of the race. It is the life of God manifested in the +flesh; make it _your own_, and it will save you. Mr. English, an American +infidel, said: "Far be it from me to reproach the meek and compassionate, +the amiable Jesus, or to attribute to him the mischiefs occasioned by his +followers." + +It is now conceded that Jesus Christ was _no myth_ by all the great minds +in unbelief. He lived. We love his life, because all who would rob Him of +His authority are compelled to speak well of it. Rousseau, another +infidel, says: "It is impossible that he whose history the gospel records +can be but a man," adding, "Does he speak in the tone of an enthusiast, or +of an ambitious sectary? What mildness! What purity in his manners! What +touching favor in his instructions! What elevation in his maxims! What +presence of mind! What ingenuity, and what justice in his answers! What +government of his passions! What prejudice, blindness or ill faith must +that be which dares to compare Socrates with the Son of Mary! + +"What a difference between the two! Socrates, dying without a pain, +without disgrace, easily sustains his part to the last. The death of +Socrates, philosophizing with his friends, is the mildest that could be +desired. That of Jesus, expiring in torments, injured, mocked, cursed by +all the people, is the most horrible that can be feared. Socrates, taking +the impoisoned cup, blesses him who presents it to him with tears. Jesus, +in the midst of a frightful punishment, prays for his enraged +executioners. Yes, if the life and death of Socrates are those of a wise +man, the life and death of Jesus are those of a God." If such be the +model, the pattern, the example which I am to follow, let me live and die +a Christian. I love the religion of Christ, because its character compels +its enemies to speak thus of it. I love it because of its practical +influence in elevating all into the moral image of Christ. I love it +because it saves men through its influence from abominable sins and +consequent sorrows that would tear up the hearts of thousands. I love it +because it is the power of God to save the soul. I love it because it +leads men into communion and fellowship with all the good. I love it +because it leads to heaven and to God. + + + + + +Civilization, it is true, is an arbitrary term. Anthropologists have not +yet settled the boundary line between a savage and a civilized +people.--_Prof. Owen, F. R. S._ + + + + + +DESIGN IN NATURE. + + +It is scarcely necessary to designate instances in the works of nature, in +which there is an appearance of purpose, for everything has this +appearance. I will, however, mention several cases as samples. + +1. The adaptation of the covering of animals to the climates in which they +live. Northern animals have thicker and warmer coats of fur or hair than +Southern ones. And here it should be remarked that man, the only creature +capable of clothing himself, is the only one that is not clothed by +nature. Singular discrimination and care indeed for non-intelligence! + +2. The adaptation of animals to the elements in which they live, the fish +to the water, other animals to the air. Would not an unintelligent energy +or power be as likely to form the organs of a fish for air as for water? + +3. The necessity which man has for sustenance, and the supply of that +necessity by nature. + +Here let it be noted how many things must act in unison to produce the +necessary result. The earth must nourish the seed, the sun must warm it, +the rain must moisten it, and man must have the strength to cultivate it, +and the organs to eat it, and the stomach to digest it, and the +blood-vessels to circulate it, and so on. Is it credible that all these +things should _happen_ without design? + +4. The pre-adaptation of the infant to the state of things into which it +enters at birth. The eye is exactly suited to the light, the ear to sound, +the nose to smell, the palate to taste, the lungs to the air. How is it +possible to see no design in this pre-adaptation, so curious, so +complicated in so many particulars? + +5. The milk of animals suitable for the nourishment of their young, +provided just in season, provided without contrivance on the part of the +parent, and sought for without instruction or experience on the part of +its offspring! _and all by chance!!_ + +6. The different sexes. In this case, as in the rest, there is perfect +adaptation, which displays evident design. And there is more. What, I ask, +is there _in nature_ to cause a difference in sexes? Why are not all +either males or females? or, rather, a compound? This case, then, I +consider not only an evidence of design, but likewise an evidence of the +special and continued _volition_ of the Creator. + +7. The destitution of horns on the calf and of teeth in the suckling. All +other parts are perfect at the very first; but were calves and sucklings +to have teeth and horns, what sore annoyances would these appendages prove +to their dams and dames. How is it that all the necessary parts of the +young are thus perfect at the first, and their annoying parts unformed +till circumstances render them no annoyance--unformed at the time they are +not needed, and produced when they are, for defense and mastication? Who +can fail to see intelligence here? + +8. The teats of animals. These bear a general proportion to the number of +young which they are wont to have at a time. Those that are wont to have +few young have few teats; those that have many young have many teats. Were +these animals to make preparations themselves in this respect, how could +things be more appropriate? + +9. The pea and the bean. The pea-vine, unable to stand erect of itself, +has tendrils with which to cling to a supporter; but the bean-stalk, +self-sustained, has nothing of the kind. + +10. The pumpkin. This does not grow on the oak; to fall on the tender head +of the wiseacre reposing in its shade, _reasoning_ that it should grow +there rather than where it does, because, forsooth, the oak would be able +to sustain it. And were he to undertake to set the other works of +Providence to rights which he now considers wrong, 'tis a chance if he +would not get many a thump upon his pate ere he should get the universe +arranged to his mind. And if, before completing his undertaking, he should +not find it the easier of the two to arrange his mind to the universe, it +would be because _what __ little_ brains he _has_ would get thumped out of +his cranium altogether! + +11. The great energies of nature. To suppose the existence of _powers_ as +the cause of the operations of nature--powers destitute of life, and, at +the same time, self-moving, and acting upon matter without the +intervention of extrinsic agency, is just as irrational as to suppose such +a power in a machine, and is a gross absurdity and a self-contradiction. +But to suppose that these lifeless energies, even if possessed of such +qualities, could, void of intelligence, produce _such_ effects as _are_ +produced in the universe, requires credulity capable of believing +anything. + +12. The whole universe, whether considered in its elementary or its +organized state. From the simple grass to the tender plant, and onward to +the sturdy oak; from the least insect up to man, there is skill the most +consummate, design the most clear. What substance, useless as it may be +when uncompounded with other substances, does not manifest design in its +affinity to those substances, by a union with which it is rendered useful? +What plant, what shrub, what tree has not organization and arrangement the +most perfect imaginable? What insect so minute that contains not, within +its almost invisible exterior, adjustment of part to part in the most +exact order throughout all its complicated system, infinitely transcending +the most ingenious productions of art, and the most appropriate adaptation +of all those parts to its peculiar mode of existence? Rising in the scale +of sensitive being, let us consider the beast of the forest, in whose +case, without microscopic aid, we have the subject more accessible. Is he +a beast of prey? Has the God of nature given him an instinctive thirst for +blood? Behold, then, his sharp-sighted organs of vision for descrying his +victim afar, his agile limbs for pursuit, his curved and pointed claws for +seizing and tearing his prey, his sharp-edged teeth for cutting through +its flesh, his firm jaws for gripping, crushing, and devouring it, and his +intestines for digesting raw flesh. But is he a graminivorous animal? Does +he subsist on grass and herb? Behold, then, his clumsy limbs and his +clawless hoofs, his blunt teeth and his herb-digesting stomach. So perfect +is the correspondence between one part and another; so exactly adapted are +all the parts to the same general objects; so wonderful is the harmony and +so definite and invariable the purpose obtaining throughout the whole, +that it is necessary to see but a footstep, or even a bone, to be able to +decide the nature and construction of the animal that imprinted that +footstep or that possessed that bone. Ascending still higher in the scale, +we come at last to man--man, the highest, noblest workmanship of God on +earth--the lord of this sphere terrene--for whose behoof all earthly things +exist. In common with all animals, he has that perfect adaptation of part +to part, and of all the parts to general objects, which demonstrate +consummate wisdom in the Cause which thus adapted them. His eyes are so +placed as to look the same way in which his feet are placed to walk, and +his hands to toil. His feet correspond with each other, being both placed +to walk in the direction, and with their corresponding sides towards one +another, without which he would hobble, even if he could walk at all. His +mouth is placed in the forepart of the head, by which it can receive food +and drink from the hands. + +But the hands themselves--who can but admire their wonderful utility? To +what purpose are they not adapted? Man, who has many ends to accomplish, +in common with the beast of the field; who has hunger to alleviate, thirst +to slake, and has likewise other and higher ends, for the attainment of +which he is peculiarly qualified by means of _hands_. Adapted by his +constitution to inhabit all climes, he has hands to adapt his clothing to +the same, whether torrid, temperate or frigid. Possessed of the knowledge +of the utility of the soil, he has hands to cultivate it. Located far +distant oftentimes from the running stream, these hands enable him to +disembowel the earth and there find an abundant supply of the +all-necessary fluid. Endowed with rational ideas, pen in _hand_ he can +transmit them to his fellows far away, or to generations unborn. Heir and +lord of earth and ocean, his hands enable him to possess and control the +same, without which, notwithstanding all his reason, he could do neither, +but would have to crouch beneath the superior strength of the brute, and +fly for shelter to crags inaccessible to his beastly sovereign. + +The only creature that has the reason to manage the world, has the +physical organization to do it. No _beast_ with man's reason could do +this, and no _man_ with the mere instinct of a brute could do it. How +marvellous, then this adaptation! How wondrous the adaptation of +everything, and how astonishing that any man, with all these things in +view, can for one moment forbear to admit a God. Let him try _a chance +experiment_. Let him take the letters of the alphabet and throw them about +promiscuously and then see how long ere they would move of their own +accord and arrange themselves into words and sentences. He may avail +himself of the whole benefit of his scheme; he may have the advantage of +an energy or power as a momentum to set them in motion; he may put these +letters into a box sufficiently large for the purpose, and then shake them +as long as may seem him good, and when, in this way, they shall have +become intelligible language, I will admit that he will have some reasons +for doubting a God. If this should seem too much like _artificial_ mind, +he may take some little animal, all constructed at his hands, and +dismember its limbs and dissect its body, and then within some vessel let +him throw its various parts at random, and seizing that vessel shake it +most lustily till bone shall come to bone, joint to joint, and the little +creature be restored to its original form. But if this could not be +accomplished by mere power, without wisdom to direct, how could the +original adjustment occur by chance? How could those very parts themselves +be _formed for_ adjustment one to another? + +Mathematicians tell us wondrous things in relation to these hap-hazard +concerns. And they demonstrate their statements by what will not +lie--figures. Their rule is this: that, as one thing admits of but one +position, as, for example, _a_, so two things, _a_ and _b_, are capable of +two positions, as _ab_, _ba_. But if a third be added, instead of their +being susceptible of only one additional position, or three in all, they +are capable of six. For example, _abc_, _acb_, _bac_, _bca_, _cab_, _cba_. +Add another letter, _d_, and the four are capable of twenty-four positions +or variations. Thus we might go on. Merely adding another letter, _e_, and +so making _five_ instead of four, would increase the the number of +variations _five_-fold. They would then amount to one hundred and twenty. +A single additional letter, _f_, making _six_ in all, would increase this +last sum of one hundred and twenty _six_-fold, making seven hundred and +twenty. Add a _seventh_ letter, _g_, and the last-named sum would be +increased _seven_-fold, making the sum of five thousand and forty. If we +go on thus to the end of the alphabet, we have the astonishing sum of six +hundred and twenty thousand four hundred and forty-eight trillions, four +hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty-three billions, two +hundred and thirty-nine thousand four hundred and thirty-nine millions and +three hundred and sixty thousand!!! Hence it follows that, were the +letters of the alphabet to be thrown promiscuously into a vessel, to be +afterwards shaken into order by mere hap, their chance of being arranged, +not to say into words and sentences, but into their alphabetical order, +would be only as _one_ to the above number. All this, too, in the case of +only twenty-six letters! Take now the human frame, with its bones, +tendons, nerves, muscles, veins, arteries, ducts, glands, cartilages, +etc.; and having dissected the same, throw those parts into one +promiscuous mass; and how long, I ask, would it be ere Chance would put +them all into their appropriate places and form a perfect man? In this +calculation we are likewise to take into the account the chances of their +being placed bottom upwards, or side-ways, or wrong side out, +notwithstanding they might merely find their appropriate places. This +would increase the chances against a well-formed system to an amount +beyond all calculation or conception. In the case of the alphabet, the +chances for the letters to fall bottom up or aslant are not included. And +when we reflect that the blind goddess, or "unintelligent forces," would +have to contend against such fearful odds in the case of a single +individual, how long are we to suppose it would be, ere from old Chaos she +could shake this mighty universe, with all its myriads upon myriads of +existences, into the glorious order and beauty in which it now exists. + + + + + +AN ATHEIST IS A FOOL. + + +He can't believe that two letters can be adjusted to each other without +design, and yet he can believe all the foregoing incredibilities. + +I might swell the list to a vast extent. I might bring into view the +verdure of the earth as being the most agreeable of all colors to the eye; +the general diffusion of the indispensibles and necessaries of life, such +as air, light, water, food, clothing, fuel, while less necessary things, +such as spices, gold, silver, tin, lead, zinc, are less diffused; also, +the infinite variety in things--in men, for instance--by which we can +distinguish one from another. But I forbear. Is it reasonable to conclude +that, where there are possible appearances of design, still no design is +there? or even that it is probable there is none? + +I have said that there is as much evidence of purpose in the works of +nature as in those of art. I now say that there is more, _infinitely_ +more. Should the wheels of nature stop their revolutions, and her energies +be palsied, and life and motion cease, even then would she exhibit +incomparably greater evidence of design, in her mere construction and +adaptation, than do the works of art. Shall we then be told that when she +is in full operation, and daily producing millions upon millions of +useful, of intelligent, of marvelous effects, she still manifests no marks +of intelligence! In nature we not only see all the works of art infinitely +exceeded, but we see, as it were, those works self-moved and performing +their operations without external agency. To use a faint comparison, we +see a factory in motion without water, wind or steam, its cotton placing +itself within the reach of the picker, the cards, the spinning-frame and +the loom, and turning out in rolls or cloth. Such virtually, nay, far more +wonderful, is the universe. Not a thousandth part so unreasonable would it +be to believe a real factory of this description, were one to exist, to be +a chance existence, as to believe this universe so. Sooner could I suppose +nature herself possessed of intelligence than admit the idea that there is +_no_ intelligence concerned in her organization and operations. There must +be a mind within or without her, or else we have no data by which to +distinguish mind. There must be a mind, or all the results of mind are +produced without any. There must be a mind, or chaos produces order, blind +power perfects effects, and non-intelligence the most admirable +correspondence and harmony imaginable. Skeptics pride themselves much on +their reason. They can't believe, they say, because it is unreasonable. +_What_ is unreasonable? To believe in a mind where there is every +appearance thereof that can be? Is it more reasonable to believe, then, +that every appearance of mind is produced without any mind at all? +Skeptics are the last men in all this wide world to pretend reason. They +doubt against infinite odds; they believe without evidence against +evidence, against demonstration, and then talk of reason!--_Origin +Bachelor's Correspondence with R. D. Owen._ + + + + + +BLUNDER ON AND BLUNDER ON--IT IS HUMAN TO BLUNDER. + + +Are all the mammoths one or two hundred thousand years old, as Sir Charles +Lyell conjectured? It was stated, in the bygone, that the "diluvium" was +very old, on account of the absence of human remains, but since man's +remains have been found there, it is inferred that man is very ancient; +whereas, the truth is, the mammoth is _very recent_. In many instances +their bones are so fresh that they contain twenty-seven per cent. of +animal substance; in some instances the flesh is still upon their bones, +with their last meal in their stomachs. + +Mr. Boyd Dawkins has furnished us with a thrilling narrative of the +discovery of a mammoth in 1846, by Mr. Benkendorf, close to the mouth of +the Indigirka. This mammoth was disentombed during the great thaw of the +summer. The description is given in the following language: "In 1846 there +was unusually warm weather in the north of Siberia. Already in May unusual +rains poured over the moors and bogs; storms shook the earth, and the +streams carried not only ice to the sea, but also large tracts of land. We +steamed on the first day up the Indigirka, but there were no thoughts of +land; we saw around us only a sea of dirty brown water, and knew the river +only by the rushing and roaring of the stream. The river rolled against us +trees, moss, and large masses of peat, so that it was only with great +trouble and danger that we could proceed. At the end of the second day we +were only a short distance up the stream; some one had to stand with the +sounding-rod in hand continually, and the boat received so many shocks +that it shuddered to the keel. A wooden vessel would have been smashed. +Around us we saw nothing but the flooded land.... The Indigirka, here, had +torn up the land and worn itself a fresh channel, and when the waters sank +we saw, to our astonishment, that the old river-bed had become merely that +of an insignificant stream.... The stream rolled over and tore up the +soft, wet ground like chaff, so that it was dangerous to go near the +brink. While we were all quiet, we heard under our feet a sudden gurgling +and stirring, which betrayed the working of the disturbed water. Suddenly +our jagger, ever on the look-out, called loudly, and pointed to a singular +and unshapely object, which rose and sank.... Now we all hastened to the +spot on shore, had the boat drawn near, and waited until the mysterious +thing should again show itself. Our patience was tried, but at last a +black, horrible giant-like mass was thrust out of the water, and we beheld +a colossal elephant's head, armed with mighty tusks, with its long trunk +moving in the water in an unearthly manner, as though seeking for +something lost therein.... I beheld the monster hardly twelve feet from +me, with his half-open eyes yet showing the whites. It was still in good +preservation.... + +"Picture to yourself an elephant with a body covered with thick fur, about +thirteen feet in height and fifteen in length, with tusks eight feet long, +thick, and curving outward at their ends, a stout trunk of six feet in +length, colossal limbs of one and a half feet in thickness, and a tail +naked up to the end, which was covered with thick tufty hair. The animal +was fat and well grown; death had overtaken him in the fulness of his +powers. His parchment-like, large, naked ears lay turned up over the head; +about the shoulders and on the back he had stiff hair, about a foot in +length, like a mane. The long outer hair was deep brown and coarsely +rooted. The top of the head looked so wild and so penetrated with pitch +that it resembled the rind of an old oak tree. On the sides it was +cleaner, and under the outer hair there appeared everywhere a wool, very +soft, warm and thick, and of a fallow-brown color. The giant was well +protected against the cold. The whole appearance of the animal was +fearfully strange and wild. It had not the shape of our present elephants. +As compared with our Indian elephants, its head was rough, the brain-case +low and narrow, but the trunk and mouth were much larger. The teeth were +very powerful. Our elephant is an awkward animal, but compared with this +mammoth, it is an Arabian steed to a coarse, ugly dray horse. I had the +stomach separated and brought on one side. It was well filled, and the +contents instructive and well preserved. The principal were young shoots +of the fir and pine; a quantity of young fir cones, also in a chewed +state, were mixed with the moss." + +Mammoth bones are found in great abundance in the islands off the northern +coast of Siberia. The remains of the rhinoceros are also found. Pallas, in +1772, obtained from Wiljuiskoi, in latitude 64 deg., a rhinoceros taken from +the sand in which it had been frozen. This carcass emitted an odor like +putrid flesh, part of the skin being covered with short, crisp wool and +with black and gray hairs. Professor Brandt, in 1846, extracted from the +cavities in the molar teeth of this skeleton a small quantity of +half-chewed pine leaves and coniferous wood. And the blood-vessels in the +interior of the head appeared filled, even to the capillary vessels, with +coagulated blood, which in many places still retained its original red +color. + +We find that Mr. Boyd Dawkins and Mr. Sanford assert that the cave-lion is +only a large variety of the existing lion--identical in species. Herodotus +says: "The camels in the army of Xerxes, near the mountains of Thessaly, +_were attacked by lions_." + +Sir John Lubbock, in his Prehistoric Times, page 293, says the cave-hyena +"is now regarded as scarcely distinguishable specifically from the _Hyaena +crocuta_, or spotted hyena of Southern Africa," while Mr. Busk and M. +Gervais identify the _cave-bear_ with the _Ursus ferox_, or grizzly bear +of North America. What is the bearing of these facts on the question of +the antiquity of the remains found in the bone caverns? + +Do these facts justify men in carrying human remains, found along with the +remains of these animals in the caves, back to the remote period of one or +two hundred thousand years?--a long time, this, for flesh upon the bones +and food in the stomach to remain in a state of preservation. + +"So fresh is the ivory throughout Northern Russia," says Lyell, +_Principles, vol. 1, p. 183_, "that, according to Tilesius, thousands of +fossil tusks have been collected and used in turning." + +Mr. Dawkins says: "We are compelled to hold that the cave-lion which +preyed upon the mammoth, the woolly rhinoceros and musk-sheep in Great +Britain, is a mere geographical variety of the great carnivore that is +found alike in the tropical parts of Asia and throughout the whole of +Africa." Popular Science Review for 1869, p. 153. It has been customary to +speak of all these animals as "_the great extinct_ mammalia," and to +regard them all as much larger than existing animals of the same kind, but +three of the most important still exist, and the cave-lions, at least some +of the specimens, were smaller than the lion of the present. According to +Sir John Lubbock the "Irish elk, the elephants and the three species of +rhinoceros are, perhaps, the only ones which are absolutely extinct." +Prehistoric Times, p. 290. "Out of seventeen principal 'palaeolithic' +mammalia, ten, until recently, were regarded 'extinct;' but it is now +believed that the above-mentioned elk, elephants and rhinoceros are the +only extinct mammalia. Dr. Wilson affirms that skeletons of the Irish elk +have been found at Curragh, Ireland, in marshes, some of the bones of +which were in such fresh condition that the marrow is described as having +the appearance of fresh suet, and burning with a clear flame." + +Professor Agassiz admits the continuance of the Irish elk to the +fourteenth century to be "probable." It is certain that this elk continued +in Ireland down to what is claimed as the age of iron, and possibly in +Germany down to the twelfth century. It is also certain that it was a +companion of the mammoth and of the woolly rhinoceros. The aurochs, or +European bison, whose remains are found in the river gravel and the older +bone caves, is mentioned by Pliny and Seneca. They speak of it as existing +in their time; it is also named in the Niebelungen Lied. It existed in +Prussia as late as 1775, and is still found wild in the Caucasus. The +present Emperor of Russia has twelve herds, which are protected in the +forests of Lithuania. During the session of the International +Archaeological Congress at Stockholm, in 1874, the members of the body made +an excursion to the isle of Bjorko, in Lake Malar, near Stockholm, where +there is an ancient cemetery of two thousand tumuli. Within a few hundred +yards from this is the site of the ancient town. Several trenches were run +through this locality, and many relics obtained by the members of the +congress. On the occasion Dr. Stolpe, who was familiar with the previous +discoveries at this point, delivered a lecture on the island and its +remains. They all, he stated, belong to the second age of iron in Sweden, +and consisted of implements of iron, ornaments of bronze, and animal +bones; Kufic coins have been found, along with cowrie-shells, and silver +bracelets. The number of animal bones met with is immense, more than fifty +species being represented, and what is especially noteworthy, _the marrow +bones were all crushed or split_, just as in the palaeeolithic times. The +principal wild beasts were the lynx, the wolf, the fox, the beaver, the +elk, the _reindeer_, etc. Dr. Stolpe refers the formation of this +"pre-historic" city to "about the middle of the eighth century after +Christ," and says it was probably destroyed "about the middle of the +eleventh century." + +"During this period the reindeer existed in this part of Sweden." + +Recent scientific discovery demands that we should almost modernize the +animals we used to regard as belonging to a period of a hundred thousand +years ago. + +"Scientists have been addicted to unwise and inconsiderate haste in the +announcement of new theories touching alleged facts; they have blundered +repeatedly in their efforts to confound the Christian and set aside Moses. +No less than eighty theories touching that many facts and discoveries have +been developed during the period of fifty years, that were brought before +the Institute of France in 1806, and not one of them survives to-day." +Truly the history of scientific investigation reveals the same fallibility +of human nature that is known in the many errors found in the line of +theological investigation. Truth, in science and religion, stands true to +her God--_man alone deviates_. + + + + + +DRAPER'S CONFLICT BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE. + + +No one idea has produced a greater sensation among skeptics and +unbelievers than the idea of a conflict between science and Christianity. +The history of the affair reminds us of the ghost stories that frighten +people in their boyish days. There was, in truth, no foundation for the +sensation. Mr. Draper never intended that his work entitled "Conflict +between Religion and Science," should be construed to mean Conflict +between the Bible and Science, or between Christianity, as set forth by +the primitive Christians and science, but conflict between apostate +religion and science; or, rather, between corruptors of the ancient +religion and science. + +He says, "I have had little to say respecting the two great Christian +confessions, the protestant and the Greek churches. As to the latter, it +has never, since the restoration of science, arrayed itself in opposition +to the advancement of knowledge. On the contrary, it has always met it +with welcome. It has observed a reverential attitude to truth, from +whatever quarter it might come. Recognizing the apparent discrepancies +between its interpretations of revealed truth and the discoveries of +science, it has always expected that satisfactory explanations and +reconciliations would ensue, _and in this it has not been disappointed_." +Will all who read these lines take notice that Mr. Draper takes the +Christian's side in the above statement. "_In this it has not been +disappointed._" In what? Answer--Its expectation that satisfactory +explanations and reconciliations would follow the discoveries of science, +by means of which apparent discrepancies between the church's +interpretations of revealed truth and the discoveries of science would +disappear. Mr. Draper adds, "It would have been well for modern +civilization if the Roman church had done the same." He guards his readers +by the following: "In speaking of Christianity, reference is generally +made to the Roman church, partly because its adherents compose the +majority of Christendom, partly because its demands are the most +pretentious, and partly because it has commonly sought to enforce those +demands by the civil power. None of the protestant churches have ever +occupied a position so imperious, none have ever had such widespread +political influence. For the most part they have been averse to +constraint, and except in very few instances their opposition has not +passed beyond the exciting of theological odium." Preface, pp. 10, 11. + +On pages 215 and 216, speaking upon the great question of the proper +relations of Christianity and science, Mr. Draper says: "In the annals of +Christianity the most ill-omened day is that in which she separated +herself from science. She compelled Origen, at that time (A. D. 231) its +chief representative and supporter in the church, to abandon his charge in +Alexandria and retire to Caesarea. In vain through many subsequent +centuries did her leading men spend themselves in, as the phrase then +went, 'drawing forth the internal juice and marrow of the scriptures for +the explaining of things.' Universal history from the _third_ to the +_sixteenth_ century shows with what result. The dark ages owe their +darkness to this fatal policy." + +The pure Christianity, as well as Christians of 231 years, are exonerated +by Mr. Draper. Unbeliever, will you remember this? Many unbelievers, like +drowning men catching at straws, have endeavored to make it appear that +Mr. Draper's book, entitled "Conflict Between Religion and Science," makes +a square fight between the Bible and science. So far is this from the +truth that, on the contrary, it does not even set up a square issue +between Protestantism and science; its issue lies between Roman Catholic +religion and science. Hear him: "Then has it, _in truth_, come to this, +that Roman Christianity and science are recognized by their respective +adherents as being absolutely incompatible; they can not exist together; +one must yield to the other; mankind must make its choice--it can not have +both. While such is, perhaps, the issue as regards Catholicism, a +reconciliation of the reformation with science is not only possible, but +would easily take place if the protestant churches would only live up to +their maxim taught by Luther and established by so many years of war. That +maxim is the right of private interpretation of the scriptures. It was the +foundation of intellectual liberty." (Did Luther say the foundation of +intellectual liberty?) But if a personal interpretation of the book of +Revelation is permissible, how can it be denied in the case of the book of +nature? In the misunderstandings that have taken place, we must ever bear +in mind the infirmities of men. The generations that immediately followed +the reformation may perhaps be excused for not comprehending the full +significance of cardinal principle, and for not on all occasions carrying +it into effect. When Calvin caused Servetus to be burnt he was animated, +not by the principles of the reformation, but by those of Catholicism, +from which he had not been able to emancipate himself completely. And when +the clergy of influential protestant confessions have stigmatized the +investigators of nature as infidels and atheists, the same may be said. +(No man should be called by a name that does not truthfully represent +him.) Now listen to Mr. Draper: "For Catholicism to reconcile itself to +science, there are formidable, perhaps insuperable obstacles in the way. +For protestantism to achieve that great result there are not."--_Conflict +Between Religion and Science_, pp. 363, 364. Thus Draper speaks for +himself. + + + + + +FACTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, OR WHAT CHRISTIANITY HAS DONE FOR +CANNIBALS. + + +The Fijians, a quarter of a century ago, were noted for cannibalism. The +following scrap of history may be of importance as a shadow to contrast +with the sunshine. It is taken from Wood's History of the Uncivilized +Races: + +The Fijians are more devoted to cannibalism than the New Zealanders, and +their records are still more appalling. A New Zealander has sometimes the +grace to feel ashamed of mentioning the subject in the hearing of an +European, whereas it is impossible to make a Fijian really feel that in +eating human flesh he has committed an unworthy act. He sees, indeed, that +the white man exhibits great disgust at cannibalism, but in his heart he +despises him for wasting such luxurious food as human flesh.... The +natives are clever enough at concealing the existence of cannibalism when +they find that it shocks the white men. An European cotton grower, who had +tried unsuccessfully to introduce the culture of cotton into Fiji, found, +after a tolerable long residence, that four or five human beings were +killed and eaten weekly. There was plenty of food in the place, pigs were +numerous, and fish, fruit and vegetables abundant. But the people ate +human bodies as often as they could get them, not from any superstitious +motive, but simply because they preferred human flesh to pork.... Many of +the people actually take a pride in the number of human bodies which they +have eaten. One chief was looked upon with great respect on account of his +feats of cannibalism, and the people gave him a title of honor. They +called him the Turtle-pond, comparing his insatiable stomach to the pond +in which turtles are kept; and so proud were they of his deeds, that they +even gave a name of honor to the bodies brought for his consumption, +calling them the "Contents of the Turtle-pond." ... One man gained a great +name among his people by an act of peculiar atrocity. He told his wife to +build an oven, to fetch firewood for heating it, and to prepare a bamboo +knife. As soon as she had concluded her labors her husband killed her, and +baked her in the oven which her own hands had prepared, and afterward ate +her. Sometimes a man has been known to take a victim, bind him hand and +foot, cut slices from his arms and legs, and eat them before his eyes. +Indeed, the Fijians are so inordinately vain that they will do anything, +no matter how horrible, in order to gain a name among their people; and +Dr. Pritchard, who knows them thoroughly, expresses his wonder that some +chief did not eat slices from his own limbs. + +"Cannibalism is ingrained in the very nature of the Fijian, and extends +through all classes of society. It is true that there are some persons who +have never eaten human flesh, but there is always a reason for it. Women, +for example, are seldom known to eat 'bakolo,' as human flesh is termed, +and there are a few men who have refrained from cannibalism through +superstition. Every Fijian has his special god, who is supposed to have +his residence in some animal. One god, for example, lives in a rat, +another in a shark, and so on. The worshiper of that god never eats the +animal in which his divinity resides, and as some gods are supposed to +reside in human beings, their worshipers never eat the flesh of man." + +Recent History Of The Same People In Brief. + +"In the Fiji islands, where half a century ago the favorite dish of food +was human flesh, there are at present eight hundred and forty-one chapels, +and two hundred and ninety-one other places where preaching is held, with +fifty-eight missionaries busily engaged in preparing the way for others. +The membership numbers twenty-three thousand two hundred and seventy-four +persons." _The Evangelist of January 29, 1880._ It is possible that some +infidel might have been literally eaten up had it not been for the +influence of the Bible. "According to the accounts of some of the older +chiefs, whom we may believe or not as we like, there was once a time when +cannibalism did not exist. Many years ago some strangers from a distant +land were blown upon the shores of Fiji, and received hospitably by the +islanders, who incorporated them into their own tribes, and made much of +them. But, in process of time, these people became too powerful, killed +the Fijian chiefs, took their wives and property, and usurped their +office." + +In the emergency the people consulted the priests, who said that the +Fijians had brought their misfortunes upon themselves. They had allowed +strangers to live, whereas "Fiji for the Fijians" was the golden rule, and +from that time every male stranger was to be killed and eaten, and every +woman taken as a wife. The only people free from this law were the +Tongans. + +The state of the Fijians is wonderfully changed--even an American infidel +may now visit those people without being flayed and roasted and devoured. + +"The Samoan islands have been entirely christianized. Out of a population +of forty thousand, thirty-five thousand are connected with Christian +churches. + +"In 1830 the native Christians in India, Burmah, and North and South +Ceylon numbered 57,000. Last October there were 460,000. Facts similar in +character might be given of Madagascar, South Africa and Japan." +_Evangelist._ What a curse (?) the Bible is to the poor heathen. It robs +them of their "long-pig," human flesh, as well as their cruel, murderous +habits, and curses them (?) with virtue and the hope of "HEAVEN." + + + + + +ARE WE SIMPLY ANIMALS? + + +What is man? The materialist says, "He is the highest order of the animal +kingdom, or an animal gifted with intelligence." If such be true, it may +be said with equal propriety, that animals are men without reason. Are +they? Does manhood consist in mere physical form? Can you find it in +simple physical nature? Man holds many things in his physical nature in +common with the animal; but is he, on this account, to be considered as a +mere animal? There are plants that seem to form a bridge over the chasm +lying between the vegetable and animal kingdoms. Are those plants animals +without sensation? Why not? What is the logical and scientific difference +between saying plants, which make the nearest approach to the animal are +animals without sensation, and saying animals are men without +intelligence? Let it be understood at all times, that if man is simply an +animal endowed with the gift of reason, an animal may be simply a +vegetable endowed with the gift of sensation. "The bodies of mere animals +are clothed with scales, feathers, fur, wool or bristles, which interpose +between the skin and the elements that surround and affect the living +animal." All these insensible protectors "ally animals more closely to the +nature of vegetables." + +"The body of a human being has a beautiful, thin, highly sensitive skin, +which is not covered with an insensitive, lifeless veil." Man's body is in +noble contrast with all mere animals. It is so formed that its natural +position is erect. "The eyes are in front; the ligaments of the neck are +not capable of supporting, for any considerable length of time, the head +when hanging down; the horizontal position would force the blood to the +head so violently that stupor would be the result. The mouth serves the +mind as well as the body itself. According to the most critical +calculation, the muscles of the mouth are so movable that it may pronounce +fifteen hundred letters." What a wonderful musical instrument. + +The mouth of the mere animal serves only physical purposes. + +Man turns his head from right to left, from earth to sky, from the slimy +trail of the crustacean in the ocean's bottom to the contemplation of the +innumerable stars in the heavens. The human body was created for the mind; +its structure is correlated with mind. The animal has a sentient life; man +an intelligent, reasoning nature. + +When animals are infuriated and trample beneath their feet everything that +lies in their way, we do not say they are _insane_, but _mad_. "Man is an +intelligent spirit," or mind, "served by an organism." We know that mind +exists by our consciousness of that which passes within us. The propriety +of the sayings of Descartes, "_I think, therefore I am_," rests upon the +consciousness that we are thinking beings. This intelligence is not +obtained by the exercise of any of the senses. It does not depend upon +external surroundings. Its existence is a fact of consciousness, of +certain knowledge, and hence a fact in mental science. + +We are continually conscious of the existence of the mind, which makes its +own operations the object of its own thought; that it should have no +existence is a contradiction in language. + +Experience teaches us that the materialistic theory of the existence of +the mind is utterly false. In an act of perception I distinguish the pen +in my hand, and the hand itself, from my mind which perceives them. This +distinction is a fact of the faculty of perception--a particular fact of a +particular faculty. But the general fact of a general distinction of which +this is only a special case, is the distinction of the _I_ and _not I_, +which belongs to the consciousness as the general faculty. He who denies +the contrast between mind-knowing and matter-known is dishonest, for it is +a fact of consciousness, and such can not be honestly denied. The facts +given in consciousness itself can not be honestly doubted, much less +denied. + +Materialists have claimed that mind is simply the result of the molecular +action of the brain. This theory is as unreal as Banquo's ghost--it will +not bear a moment's investigation. It is simply confounding the action of +the mind upon the brain with the mind itself. Every effect must have a +cause. When I make a special mental effort what is the cause lying behind +the effort? Is it the molecular action of the brain? I _will to_ make the +effort, and do it. Then will power lies behind brain action. But power is +a manifest energy; there is something lying behind it to which it belongs +as an attribute; what is it? Answer, _will_. But, where there is a _will_ +there must of a necessity be that which _wills_. What is it that _wills_ +to make a special mental effort--that lies away back "behind the throne" +and controls the helm? It is evidently the I, _myself_, the "inner man," +_the spirit_. On one occasion, when some of the disciples of the Nazarene +were sleepy, Jesus said to them, "The spirit indeed is willing, but the +flesh is weak." It is the spirit that _wills_ to make a special mental +effort. Here is the "_font_" of all our ideas. "What man knoweth the +things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?" 1 Cor., ii, 11. +_Will_, as an effect, belongs to the spirit of man, as _the cause_ lying +behind. Beyond this no man can trace this subject, short of crossing over +from the spirit of man to the invisible Father of spirits. The spirit of +man is a _wonderful intelligence_! "The body without the spirit is dead, +being alone." When we analyze the physical structure back to the germ and +sperm-cells we are brought face to face with the invisible builder. Call +it what you may, it still remains the same invisible architect, which, +being matter's master, built the organism. We live, and breathe; we die, +and cease breathing. Dead bodies do not breathe. Therefore, life lies +behind breath, and spirit behind life. So life and breath are both +effects, which find their ultimate or cause in _spirit_. This at once sets +aside all that materialists have said in order to show that spirit and +breath are one and the same. The original term, translated by the term +spirit has, in its history, away back in the past, a _physical_ currency. +The old-fashioned materialist or "soul-sleeper" finds his fort in this +fact. His entire aim is to get the people back to an old and obsolete +currency of the term "_pneuma_." If we lay aside words which were used in +a physical sense, in times gone by, we will not have many words to express +the ideas embraced in mental science. In ancient times "_pneuma_" +signified both mind and wind, or air. In later times it lost its physical +currency, and no longer signifies, in its general currency, breath or air. +The adjective, "_pneumatikos_," is _never used_ in a physical sense. It +came into use too late. + +We have many examples of old meanings passing away from words. +"_Sapientia_," in Latin originally meant only the power of tasting. At +present it means _wisdom_, _prudence_, _discretion_, _discernment_, _good +sense_, _knowledge_, _practical wisdom_, _philosophy_, _calmness_, +_patience_. The word "_sagacitas_," originally meant only the faculty of +_scenting_, now it means the power of seeing or perceiving anything +easily. In old literature we may read of the sagacity of dogs; keenness of +scent. But it is now sharpness of wit; keenness of perception, subtilty, +shrewdness, acuteness, penetration, ingenuity. The terms, "attentio," +"intentio," "comprehensio," "apprehensio," "penetratio," and understanding +are all just so many bodily actions transferred to the expression of +_mental energies_. There is just the same reason for giving to all these +terms their old, obsolete, physical currency that there is for giving to +pneuma, or spirit, the old obsolete currency of wind or air. You must ever +remember that it is the business of lexicographers in giving the history +of words, to set before you the first as well as the latest use of terms. +In strict harmony with all this Greenfield gives "_pneuma_" _thus_: + +1. Wind, air in motion, breathing, breath, expiration, respiration, +spirit, i. e. the human soul, that is, the vital principle in man, life. +Matthew xxvii, 50; Rev. xiii, 15. + +2. Of the rational soul, mind, that principle in man which thinks, feels, +desires, and wills. Matthew v, 3, 26, 41. + +3. Of the human soul after its departure from the body, a spirit, soul. +Acts xxiii, 8, 9; Hebrews xii, 23. + +4. Spc. Spirit, that is, temper, disposition, affections, feelings, +inclination, qualities of mind. + +5. Construed with "_mou_" and "_sou_" (_I_ and _thou_), it forms a +periphrasis for the corresponding personal pronoun. Mark ii, 8; Luke i, +47. A spirit, that is, A SIMPLE, SPIRITUAL, INCORPOREAL, INTELLIGENT +BEING. Spoken of God. John iv, 24. Of angels. Hebrews i, 14. Of evil +spirits, Matthew viii, 16; Mark ix, 20. A divine spirit, spoken of the +spiritual nature of Christ. 1 Corinthians xv, 45; 1 Peter iii, 18. Of the +Holy Spirit. Matthew iii, 16-28; John xv, 26; Acts i, 8; Romans ix, 1. + +Robinson, in his Lexicon, sums up the history of its use thus: + +1. Pneuma, from pneo, to breathe. A breathing, breath. + +1. Of the mouth or nostrils, a breathing, blast. The destroying power of +God. Isaiah xi, 4; Psalm xxxiii, 6. The breath. Revelations xi, 11. +"Breath of life." Genesis vi, 17; vii, 15-22. + +2. Breath of air. Air in motion, a breeze, blast, the wind. + +3. The spirit of man, that is, the vital spirit, life, soul. + +4. The rational spirit, mind, soul (Latin _animus_), generally opposed to +the body or animal (disposition) spirit. 1 Thessalonians v, 23; 1 +Corinthians xiv, 14. + +5. It implies will, council, purpose. Matthew xxvi, 41; Mark xiv, 38; Acts +xviii, 5; xix, 21; 1 Chronicles v, 26; Ezra i, 1. + +6. It includes the understanding, intellect. Mark ii, 8; Luke i, 80, and +ii, 40; 1 Corinthians ii, 11, 12; Exodus xxviii, 3; Job xx, 3; Isaiah +xxix, 24. + +7. A spirit, that is, a simple, incorporeal, immaterial being, possessing +higher capacities than man in his present state. Of created spirits, the +human spirit, soul, after its departure from the body and as existing in a +separate state. Hebrews xii, 23; that is, to the spirits of just men made +perfect. Robinson renders it thus: "To the spirits of the just advanced to +perfect happiness and glory." + +It is spoken of God in reference to his immateriality. John, iv, 24. Of +Christ in his exalted spiritual nature in distinction from his human +nature. In Hebrews, ix, 14, in contrast with perishable nature. "The +_eternal spirit_," Holy spirit, spirit of God.--_Robinson's Lexicon._ + +From all this it will be seen that it is impossible to limit the term +spirit to its ancient _physical_ currency. Our term _mind_ is, for two +reasons, a better word for its place in modern literature. First, it never +had a physical application. Second, the terms are used indifferently in +the New Testament when they relate to man. See Romans, i, 9 and vii, 25. +All spirits are _one_ in kind; in _character_ the difference lies; that +is, spirits are all _imperishable_. It is not in the nature of a spirit to +cease to be. If it is, then there is no imperishable nature that is +revealed to man. I submit for consideration the thought that there is no +difference in the final results between the man who denies the existence +of spirits altogether and the man who allows that spirits may cease to +exist. + +"We are cognizant of the existence of spirit by our direct consciousness +of feelings, desires and ideas, which are to us the most certain of all +realities."--_Carpenter._ + +"The body continually requires new materials and a continued action of +external agencies. But the mind, when it has been once called into +activity and has become stored with ideas, may remain active and may +develop new relations and combinations among these, after the complete +closure of the sensorial inlets by which new ideas can be excited 'ab +externo.' Such, in fact, is what is continually going on in the state of +dreaming.... The mind thus feeds upon the store of ideas which it has laid +up during the activity of the sensory organs, and those impressions which +it retains in its consciousness are working up into a never ending variety +of combinations and successions of ideas, thus affording new sources of +mental activity even to the very end of life."--_Carpenter._ + +In death the spirit returns to God, who gave it, retaining, doubtless, all +its store of ideas and all its own inherent activities, which will +continue while eternity endures. + + + + + +OUR RELATIONS TO THE ANCIENT LAW AND PROPHETS--WHAT ARE THEY? + + +The above questions can not be answered intelligently without a knowledge +of the character of the law, and of its relations to humanity, as well as +a knowledge of the relations of the ancient prophets. The law given at +Sinai as a "covenant," with all the laws contained in the "Book of the +Law," was political in character; that is to say, it pertained to a +community or nation. Such law is _always_ political in its character. The +ancient law pertained to the nation of the Jews. It was given to them as a +community, and to no other people. Moses said, "And the Lord spake unto +you out of the midst of fire: Ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no +similitude; only ye heard a voice. And he declared unto you his covenant, +which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote +them upon two tables of stone." Deut. iv, 12, 13. "And the Lord said unto +Moses, Write thou these words; for after the _tenor_ of these words I have +made a covenant _with thee_ and _with Israel_.... And he wrote upon the +tables _the words of the covenant_, the ten commandments." Exodus xxxiv, +27, 28. "The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord _made +not_ this covenant with our fathers, but with us, who _are_ all of us here +alive this day." Deut. v, 2, 3. "Behold, I have taught you statutes and +judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in +the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep, therefore, and do them; for +this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, +which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is +a wise and understanding people. For what nation is there so great who +hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we +call upon him for? And what nation is there so great that hath statutes +and judgments so righteous as all this law which I set before you this +day." Deut. iv, 5, 8. + +The law or covenant, as written upon the two tables of stone, is given in +full in one place, and only one, in all the book of the law, and I will +now transcribe it from the fifth chapter of Deut. Here it is: "I am the +Lord, thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house +of bondage; thou shalt have none other gods before me; thou shalt not make +thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven +above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath +the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them or serve them, for I, +the Lord, thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers +upon the children unto the third and fourth _generation_ of them that hate +me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my +commandments. + +"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord, thy God, in vain; for the Lord +will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. + +"Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord, thy God, hath commanded +thee. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh is +the Sabbath of the Lord, thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work; thou, +nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor +thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy +gates, that thy man-servant and maid-servant may rest as well as thou; and +remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord, +thy God, brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched +out arm; THEREFORE, THE LORD, THY GOD, COMMANDED THEE TO KEEP THE SABBATH +DAY. + +"Honor thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; +that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee in the +land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. + +"Thou shalt not kill. + +"Neither shalt thou commit adultery. + +"Neither shalt thou steal. + +"Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor. + +"Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet +thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, +his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's. + +"These words the Lord spake unto _all your assembly_ in the mount, out of +the midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick darkness, with a +great voice; and he _added no more_. And _he wrote them in two tables of +stone_, and delivered them unto me." + +This is the covenant as it was written upon the tables of stone. It is, by +its facts, limited to the Jews, for they are the only people who were ever +delivered from bondage in Egypt. The abrogation of this covenant is +clearly presented in the following language, found in Zechariah, the +eleventh chapter and tenth verse: "And I took my staff, even Beauty, and +cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with _all +the people_. And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock +that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord. And I said unto +them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they +weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver." This language had its +fulfillment in the sale which Judas Iscariot made of his Lord and the +abrogation of the ancient covenant or law. + +The prophets were not confined to the kingdom of Israel, or to any one +kingdom, nor yet to any one dispensation. + +They bore the word of the Lord to all the nations, as we learn from such +language as this: "The burden of the word of the Lord to Ninevah, to +Sidon, to Tyre, to Idumea, to Babylon, to Samaria, to Egypt," and to many +others. It is very remarkable that no such latitude or longitude of +relationships belongs to the ancient law. It was confined to the +Israelites. + +The Heavenly Father spake not to the ancients by his Son, but by the +prophets. And much of that which they spake pertained to our own +dispensation and to our own religion. + +Much, very much, of that which they gave lies in the very foundation of +our religion. We should always distinguish, _carefully_, between the Law +and the prophets, and between these two and the psalms, remembering, +however, that prophesy belongs also to many of the psalms. The abrogated +covenant, or law, that was done away, was written upon stones. It, with +all the laws which were after its _tenor_, was supplanted by the law of +Christ. It was added because of transgression _till Christ, _"the seed," +should come. When he came it expired by limitation, and through his +authority the neighborly restrictions or limitations were taken off from +moral precepts, which were re-enacted by him. + + + + + +THE FUNERAL SERVICES OF THE NATIONAL LIBERAL LEAGUE. + + +The decent members of the Liberal League, who formed it to express their +convictions, and who withdrew and formed a rival League when they found +that the old organization had gone over to the defense of indecency, who +gave to the League all the character it had, and who had great hopes at +one time of destroying the influence of the preachers of the Gospel of +Christ, and thereby ridding our country of that terrible pest called the +Bible, have given up their name. Their "priests" have adopted the +following arraignment of their old organization, a legitimate child of +their own: + +"Voted that, in the judgment of this Board, the name 'National Liberal +League' has become so widely and injuriously associated in the public mind +with attempts to repeal the postal laws prohibiting the circulation of +obscene literature by mail, with the active propagandism of demoralizing +and licentious social theories, and with the support of officials and +other public representatives who are on good grounds believed to have been +guilty of gross immoralities, that it has been thereby unfitted for use by +any organization which desires the support of the friends of 'natural +morality.' " + +Thus the child went into a far country and fed among swine, and, failing +to come to itself and return to its father's house, the old gentleman +disinherited it, _once_ and forever. A younger son, however, is christened +"Liberal Union," and whether it will remain at home to take care of the +old man in his dotage remains to be seen. + + + + + +HUXLEY'S PARADOX. + + +"The whole analogy of natural operations furnish so complete and crushing +an argument against the intervention of any but what are called secondary +causes, in the production of all the phenomena of the universe, that, in +view of the intimate relations of man and the rest of the living world, +and between the forces exerted by the latter and all other forces, I can +see no reason for doubting that all are co-ordinate terms of nature's +great progression, from formless to formed, from the inorganic to the +organic, from blind force to conscious intellect and will." _Huxley's +Evidence of Man's Place in Nature_, London, 1864, p. 107. + +A writer in the _Spectator_ charged Professor Huxley with Atheism. The +professor replies, in the number of that paper for February 10, 1866, +thus: "I do not know that I care very much about popular odium, so there +is no great merit in saying that if I really saw fit to deny the existence +of a God I should certainly do so for the sake of my own intellectual +freedom, and be the honest Atheist you are pleased to say I am. As it +happens, however, I can not take this position with honesty, inasmuch as +it is, and always has been, a favorite tenet that Atheism is as absurd, +logically speaking, as Polytheism." In the same sheet, he says: "The +denying the possibility of miracles seems to me quite as unjustifiable as +Atheism." Is Huxley in conflict with Huxley? + + + + + +THE TRIUMPHING REIGN OF LIGHT. + + +The next psychic cycle, it seems to me, will witness a synthesis of +thought and faith, a recognition of the fact that it is impossible for +reason to find solid ground that is not consecrated ground; that all +philosophy and all science belong to religion; that all truth is a +revelation of God; that the truths of written revelation, if not +intelligible to reason, are nevertheless consonant with reason; and that +divine agency, instead of standing removed from man by infinite intervals +of time and space, is, indeed, the true name of those energies which work +their myriad phenomena in the natural world around us. This +consummation--at once the inspiration of a fervent religion and the +prophecy of the loftiest science--is to be the noontide reign of wedded +intellect and faith, whose morning rays already stream far above our +horizon.--_Winchell._ Re. and Sci. p. 84. + + ------------------------------------- + +"Experience proves to us that the matter which we regard as inert and +dead, assumes action, intelligence, and life, when it is combined in a +certain way."--_Atheist._ + +"But how does a germ come to live?"--_Deist._ + +"Life is organization with feeling."--_Atheist._ + +"But that you have these two properties from the motion of" dead atoms, or +matter alone, it is impossible to give any proof; and if it can not be +proved, why affirm it?

In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} and future generations.

Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are +particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. +Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable +effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these +requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not +received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or +determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have +not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against +accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us +with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any +statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the +United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods +and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including +checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please +visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. + + + General Information About Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} electronic works. + + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with +anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} +eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~} eBooks are often created from several printed editions, +all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright +notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance +with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook +number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed +(zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected _editions_ of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the +old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +_Versions_ based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + + http://www.gutenberg.org + + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg{~TRADE MARK SIGN~}, including how +to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, +how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email +newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + + + + + +***FINIS*** +
