Answer to Fair Play My object in th* proaent article i* sim ply to how tht I can give Kv. Fisher'* article* no further recognition *nd thnt I must cease to be a P*rtJ' to thi* controversy. With this view I a*k the reader*' attention to a few facts, out of the many which tuiifbt be selected from hi* article*. 1. In hi* last article, R®v. K. charge* that I have an incorrect translation of the Snialcald Article*, or else that I "twisted 1 them in my quotation. N->w in answer, I would say, Ist. that my edition of the (Miialcald Article* it no tran-iatl<>n at all, but the Standard Lutheran edition in th" original German in which Luther himself wrote them. 2. Knowing by experience what ort of captious man I hail to deal with, I was not willing to risk my own translation, lest.be would say 1 mistranslated, and there fore I quoted the original German itself, exactly as it 1* in this standard edition, ex cepting the printer made a typographical error in one word which t*,bowever,of such a nature that every reader who under stands Gorman, will readily di*cuver and ynod refused so to receive them I In the second place, my quotation, though short, is one entire item—item 2, Art.' I. Part 3—as full and complete in itselt I as are the Hmalcnld Articlea tak*n a* a * whole. Rev. F. make* no atlemj l w> show that my quotation is nntthuseoni pletr; oor does tte atte-pt to ahow that I aaid item doe* not tei-li the absolute 1 slavery of th*hii|pui will to the divine will, aa 1 claimed and showrdj nor doe* ' he even denv that if we take away i man's freewill, absolute predestination must follow a* necessarily a* the tale follows the dog. for ifman b a no free j will to choose irf-laeen good and evil, j it ia absurd to say that be can choose between eternal ®nlvaion and eternal perdition lie*. F. doea none of these things. He simply make* a long quota tion, not one line of which, apart from tba item I quoted, has any bearing whatever on the queatien at issue, and then without one word of comment or explanation, and with tbe most oon cbaleot air imaginable, asks, "may I not now a#k you to have tbe frankne** to confess that tb* Hmaleeld Articlea do not teach predestination." The reader may readily see tbat with such an op ponent it is useleaa to waste argument. A man most become reasonable before lie can be reasoned with. Vet that is an example of his style of argument J from beginning to end. Again. In hit former article, be ad mitted tliat I.nthM was a pred®tinarian hut tltlni> Zwtaglt.
