BLACK AGAIN.
TUC JCM1XKNT JURIST KXCOIUATKS
TUE GREAT IX FIDEL.
A Caubtic Sur-Kejelnuer te tbe Klequcnt
Leader of the Unbelievers ChrUtlanity
ably Cliamplnued.
Judge Black in the Philadelphia Picas.
This i.s no personal wrancle with Mr.
Ingeisell. lie has said nothing elTensive
about me. His inilisnatieu at finding
himself confronted, net by a professional
theologian, but a layman who applied the
judicial test te his assertions, was natural
and expressed with tolerable moderation.
On the ether hand, I tried, and I think I
tried successfully, te confine myself ligid
ly te the square issue between us. A just
or even an intelligent criticism could net
be made without some reference te his
mental peculiarities, which, with habits
of shallow thinking aud rash talking,
made him an utterly incompetent judge of
the subject he prcleuded te argue. But
I found the proofs of this within the four
corners of his own paper. There, also,
I learned that he was without any ac
knowledged standaid of right or wrong.
It was legitimate te notice that, because it
accounted satisfactorily for his ether ut
terances. Neither is there any question of parti
san politics between us. I have ccitaiu
political convictions, which you may call
prejudices if you will. But whether they
are well or iU-feuudcd, they have no man
ner of just connection with the subject
matter of Mr. Ingersoll's diatiibe against
Clnistianity. I believe, and have
often expressed the belief, that religion
and politics cannot be mingled together
without endangering both. The most
perfect system of human government that
ever was invented by the wit of man aud
the holiest religion that Ged has revealed
te his creatures when uuited together form
a monstrous compound highly injurious te
the best interests of the human race. Such
a union is pronounced by Christ and his
Apostles te be impure, aud the fathers of
this Republic se shaped their funda
mental law as te make it a wall of
perfect, partition between thcni. With
out such complete separation there cau
be no security for either civil liberty
or the rights of conscience in matters of
religion. The worst form or this adulter
eus connection is net assumed when a
legal union is formed between church and
state It is when a popular party in a free
government undertakes te mingle its
eoarse interests and its vulgar passions
with the religious sentiments of the jo je
plc. That is what pollutes and falsifies
both. The history of the world, and es
pecially that of our own country, has been
written in vain it this bs net the lessen it
teaches.
These convictions net only disaim me
of the power te repel Mr. ItigciseH'.s as
saulls by a political argument, but feiee
me te admit for the purposes of this ca.'e
that he is right en all the points of that
kind which he cheeses te lug in. I can de
that, argamenti yratia, without allccting
the leal question in controversy.
He thought he was striking a powerful
blew at the Almighty when he showed
that the Jewish constitution contained a
prevision which cenllictcd with the plat
form of the Abolitionists. They had de
termined and resolved that under all
circumstances, at all times, ami every whei e
the toleration of slavery or servitude for
life-was a crime. By this ami by ether
means net new te be described they get
money, power and great personal coiihe ceiihe
quciices for themselves and their fellows.
Mr. lugcrsell could trust them te unite
with him in howling down Christianity or
anything else that diminished the profits
of their business. Directly before-him he
had the successful example of Dcmetiius,
the silversmith, who raised a tremendous
upreai against the Gospel of Christ by
simply bellowing out : " Great is Diana
of the Ephesians." " Sirs, ye knew that
by this craft wc have our wealth."
I could only pretest that these appeals
te the interest and passions of a political
party were unfair. Diana of the Ephe
sians and Abolitionism may both have
been great, and they weie great in the
sense of being popular, but that docs net
prove that the gospel of Ged is a pernic
ious imDesturc. The Jewish constitution,
which tolerated the enslavement of sav
ages in Judca,and the resolves of the Abo
lition caucus, which condemned it in
America, might both be right, since the
two systems were net te be judged by ene
another ; each should be considered with
proper lcfciencc te circumstances widely
diflerent. But the suggestion that the in
fallible Ged might be believed te have
proceeded en just grounds without im
puguing the righteousness of the Aboli
tionists met with no favor. The practiced
demagogue cannot forego the tricks of his
trade, and se he makes the panegyric of
his political faction an excuse, for casting
contempt in the face of his Maker aud for
insulting the faith aud reason of all who
believe in Christ. The barest thought that
the Judge of all the earth did right tills
him with rancor, which he pours out ever
page after page aud then repeats it again
and again :
Unpacks his heart Willi words
And tails te cursing like a very drab
A scullion
I have said thus much about the slavery
point, net as an answer te Mr. Ingcrsell,
but because I will net have it understood,
if I can help it, that i pcimittcd or pro
voked the introduction of partisan politics
into the discussion of a religious subject.
These furious outbreaks of intcmpciate
abuse upon Ged, his laws and institutions,
de net disturb anyone's intellectual belief
or at all diminish the awful reverence
which a Christian feels for the supreme
object of his adoration. Mr. lugcrsell
thinks he is raising a storm en the ocean
of thought ; he is net producing a ripple.
He is mcicly doing the part of a commeu
scold, te whom the idle listcu ler the sport
of the thing, while ethers, taking counsel
of their outraged fecliugs, think him a
nuisance that ought te be abated. This
is, perhaps, net very easy te de. A woman,
for such an offensc.ceuld be ducked under
the rule of the ancient law, but wheu a
cemmunis vixatrix of the male gender
vexes the peace of a neighborhood in this
way the remedy is difficult and doubtful.
Te learn hew gratuitous these anilitie;
arc hew he scolds for tuc mere sake of
scolding leek at his fanfarenade en polyg
amy. By the unaided influence of the
Caurch a!one this vice has been extirpated
completely and perfectly. In Clnistiau
countries the universal rule is that one
man shall be the husband of one wife aud
no mere ; and it is neither the rule nor
the practice anywhere else en the face of
the glebe. New, a person who has ordin
ary sense must see that the moral merit
of Christ's Gospel in this respect is direct
ly proportioned te the magnitude of the
evil from which it has relieved human
society. But Mr. Ingersoll tries te blacken
the character of the Christian religion by
railing at the bad practice which it has
opposed and desteyed. If he had flung
out at monogamous marriage, which
Christianity upholds, his act, though un
just, might have had an apparent object
net altogether preposterous. Indeed,
monogamy is as Tepen te mere vulgar
vituperation as polygamy. When an un
clean mind exerts itself te imagine what
may take place it is as easy te talk about
brutality and the animal degradation of
woman in ene case as another. Te the
beastly all things are beastly. In point of
fact the great body of unbelievers have de
nounced the Christian institution of mar
riage with especial bitterness. Te tie euc
man and one woman together b- a bend
which nothing but dcatti can dissolve is, in
their opinion, net only unjust and immoral
but a base and biutal tyranny which im
poses a degrading restraint upon the natu
ral lights of men and women te love and
cohabit with whom they please. This is a
piime and prominent part of the atheistic
theory, everywhere advocated by its regu
lar organs and its greatest disciples. In
Fiance, where their societies arc compact
and powerful, they define their creed sub
stantially thus : 1. There is no Ged. 2.
Heligien'isa lie. :. Property is theft. 4.
Leve must be free 5. Marriage is slavery.
0. Children belong te the state and net te
anybody in particular.
This is "the gospel of dirt." I don't
say that Mr. Ingcrsell swallows it whole.
He believes, or at least he practice, the
Christian doctrine en the subjects of mar
riage, paternity and property, net because
he is bound by the Divine commandment,
but because he feds like it. Others, re
jecting as he doc the " golden metewand
of the law," have an equal right te take
their own feelings as the measure of
ligl.tceusness. Se one set of atheists
curses marriage and another blackguards
polygamy, anil they arc both light if thcie
he no Ged above all and ever all.
I de nel intend this as a substitute for
the answer which I would have made if
the presiding genius of the Review had
been propitious. My principal object is te
show that his " circular abuse " amounts
te absolutely nothing. A regular reply I
would prove that in every hue et his last
article he has either falsified history-or ap
plied te it an erroneous interpretation.
But I am tempted net te quit without giv
ing a sample of his elTert-; at scientific
icaseuinr.
If he does net deny the existence of a
Ged his occupation is gene. The object,
therefore, of his highest ambition ever
since he took the stump against Chris
tianity has been aud is te annihilate the
evidence which shows that the world has a
Maker and a Meral Governer. This being
his great central point en which all ether
points must turn, he has, of course, laid
himself out te de his very beat for it. Let
us sec what he has achieved.
I thought I was giving a true and accu
rate account of his theory when I said
that he regarded the univcri-e as natural ;
that, ''itcame into being of its own ac
cord ;"' that ' it made its own laws at the
start, and afterwards improved itself con cen
sidciably by spontaneous evolution." But
he denies that this a true exposition of his
views, and he exercises his conceded right
te define them again mere sharply than lie
did before. New he says that the uui-
veise did net come into being at all ; it
(Uicini teas ; nor out it make its own laws,
for it 7ins no bunt.
If the material univeise existed, just as
it is new. from all unbeguu eternity, there
i.s, te be mi re, net much chance for a crea
ter te have done any work ; if its harmony
is pieservcd and the uniformity of its ac
tion maintained without rule or regulation
prescribed by a superior power, then there
is and has been no need of a lawgiver ;
Ged is, thcrcfeie, se useless a being that
lie must be theoretically blotted out of ex
istence. Fer the preposition that the universe
always was (without a cicater) and will
bn forever (without a preserver) he offers
only one proof, te wit, that it is according
te Am idea. This he considers potent enough
te overrule all the evidence, diicct and
circumstantial, by which his " idea' is
opposed. All tct-timeny home by the
commeu sense of mankind, all the deduc
tieus of reason, all philosophy, aud all
faith in Hely Writ must be swept aside,
se that ft tit idol may have frce course te
run and be glorified. But this ascription
of supreme autheiity te an idea, merely
because it happens te be his idea, will
hardly be concurred in. The assertion of
it, indeed, proves except that his bump of
self esteem is in a state of chrome inflam
mation. He stalls another idea, which has the
same special merit of being his own,
namely, that the material universe is net
governed by laws. The planets move at
a rate aud in ui bits which can be calcu
lated with absolute ccitainty ; the caith
revolves en its axis with such perfect
icgnlarily that the very fecend of time at
which the sun will rise at a peculiar place
can be picdicted a thousand years before
hand ; chemical substances combine
always in exactly the same relative pre
portions ; in the animal aud vegetable
worlds like produces like ; in all organ
ized beings certain causes arc known te
produce certain effects favorable or un
favorable te life and health. Mr. Inger
soll's idea is that these arc net the results
of law or auy sort of intelligent pre
arrangement ; but they arc phenomena
which happen, and the world is by mere
accident prevented from falling into
chaos. In his wisdom he decides "as
matter of fact" that there is no rule back
of the phenomenon which a controlling
power compels the subject matter te obey;
it merely happens, but it happens se uni
formly that it creates the idea of law in
our minds, which is, however, a mere de
lusieti. If Galilee and Newton and Kepler
and all the ether philosophers, great and
small, have been seduced into the weak
belief that the material universe is under
the reign of law, it is rare geed fortune
for us in these latter days te have found a
superior personage who, by merely turn
ing the Drnmmend light el" his intellect en
the subject, ill once exposes the blundcin
of the ignorant living and "the barbarian
dead."
Let no man misunderstand or misrepre
sent? Mr. Ingcrsell. It is net irony or te
point a scurrile jest that he denies the op
eration of natural laws upon matter. He
is in serious earnest, aud if he docs net
actually believe what lie says his simula
tion of sincerity is very perfect. Te make
himself clear he takes a simple case. Water
he says, always runs down hill, net be
cause there is a law behind it law does
net cause the phenomenon, but the phe
nomenon causes the idea of law te exist
in our minds but that idea is en this side
of the fact. It fellows that Newton must
have been grossly mistaken when he said
that the falling of water and ether bodies'
toward the centre of the earth was caused
by the laws of gravitation.
Mr. Ingersoll supposes that he is imput
ing an absurdity te me when he says " Mr.
Black probably thinks the difference in
the weight of rocks and clouds is produced
by law, " Undoubtedly I de. I learned
in my infancy (and I have " the credulity
of the cradle") that this difference is
caused by that same law of gravitation
operating according te rules which arc
perfectly understood by all tolerably well
informed men. I will go farther and con
fess that I think it a most beneficent law
which prevents the rocks from flying
about through the air and the clouds from
becoming immovably fixed in the earth.
Our great Creater ought te be adored and
thanked for making such an arrangement.
But this only proves te Mr. Ingcrsell that
I am a believer in the "monstrous and
miraculous, the impossible and immoral."
Mr. Ingersoll is much accused of plagi
arism. Whether that be true or net of
his declamatory spouting, this notion that
the material world is net governed by law
is without doubt original. It never en
tered any human head before, and I think
that in all future time it will find no
lodgment in the mind of any reasonable
being.
Anether way he has of reachiug the
atheistic conclusion. I de net say that I
knew what he wants te be at. But as
well as I can understand him, he asserts
that the universe could net have had a
design because we cannot trace back the
designer te his own origin ; the world was
net made because we cannot tell who
made the maker. The mechanism of a
watch is se curious that "it must," says
he, " have had a maker, " but he adds the
watchmaker himself i.s mere wonder
fully made than the watch, and hence
he infers that he also must have had
a maker, since the necessity of a Creater
increases with the wonder of the creature.
He is unquestionably, though perhaps un
consciously, right in this. It makes a
demonstration as complete as mathematics
that man was created by "some pre-ex-istcnt
aud self-conscious being of power
aud wisdom te us unconceivable." But
instead of accepting this plain, palpable
aud necessary censequence of his own
logic, he turns his back upon the conclu
sion and begins te maunder ever his own
inability te understand hew a designer
could be without an anterior design, and
telling hew haul it i.s for him te see the
plan or design in earthquakes and pesti
lences ; aud hew the justice of Ged is net
visible te him in the history of the world.
This silly trash he thinks suflicicnt te
repel the irresistible proofs of a Creater
which he himself has adduced, ar.d which
by all fair and unpervcrted minds ate ic
ccived as conclusive.
