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
<orrect it for hitnaelf.
3. For the benefit of such reader* as
might not under*tand German, 1 added a
translation which is my own and just as
corract and etprea*e* exactly the tame
thought a* that of Dr. Jacob'*, although
it omit* the one unimportant word
"again.'' How this omission came about'
I will explain. When I looked at tb®
proof of my last article, I discovered that
in my translation of the item from th®
Smalcald Article*, the printer had omitted
the two word* "and again." When I
drew hi* attention to '.he fact, he remarked
that be did not see how be could Insert
both word* without re-*euing a considera
ble portion of the article. Mpn I answer
ed that if he had no spaceWr both words,
ha should insert tbe word "and" and leave
out tho word "again," a* it*, omission
would in no way affect tbe meaning or
doctrine of tho item, and especially, a* 1
also gave the ame quotation In Gehmen.
The printer agreed with me in thinking
that the word was of no account to the
meaning of the sentence, and therefore
omitted it Rut although the original
German i there in full, yet by reason of
tbe omission of that insignificant word in
the translation, be, unbliubingly, insinuate*
the charge of "twisting." Withiirhn
opponent it I* impossible to carry onamn
troyersy with profit and honor. And it is j
this mean, contemptible, captious qulb
bling, passing by the weightof a whole ar- i
gument and catohtag at theomiuion of ar. !
utterly insigniflccant word only for{thapu-- j
pose of insinuating the gravest charge*
igainst you,—it is this conduct on the part
of Rev. F, which has dragged this rontro- I
roriy down to tb® miserably low level
which it ba* r--a-lieil. Sin h controversial
ist* abounded, aim, in th- time of the Re
formation, and of th®* Luther *ay, that
"they are like hi-gs who care not for roses
and violets in the garden but only to *tick
their snout into garbage." It i* plain,
therefore, that this controversy can I-ear
none but evil fruit and hence ougbt to
ceaM.
Again. H® accuse* me of "an a'tack 1
or nji*repreenttion of the confe**ioDs |
and doctrine* a* taught and tsel'wveii by
the Lutheran church, Ly quoting a lint
or two from the Smalcnld Articlea in !
support of hi* (my; charge of predeati- j
nation." In tue first place Rev. Fisher
know*. I presume, that bis own Synod j
of the Lu heran cnurch doe* not re- I
reive the Mtnalcald Article* as • part of
her ' confession and doctrine." nor rc
qoire iu clergy to subscribe to them, but 1
only to the Augsburg Confession. Will
Iter. Fisher please tell u* why hi* own
>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><l ilnihr dnl not mo-tin one.
Hut strange to ray, in hi* lt article to*
cornea nut again and denies I •••* a<tnii
•ion. Hut look nt hi* languor-. " I hi*
charge ol predestination atflke® in* * *
strange thing from Mr. D*L'ng. I

count of it* ofb-nsire tmldnesa nd un

If that doea not mean that Luther once
waa a predestinarian hut did not remain
one, even he once had he#n tint dul
not remain a Kontn Catholic or a
Monk, will Her. F. please tell u* what
ildoe* mean. Now I can *** but two
possible ooncluaiom Hither Her. F. i*

been a predeatinarian, but refuses to

doe* not u*a the Hngli*h with sufficient

ought to Cease. If he claim* that the
above la undignified, I answer the want of
dignity lie# in tbe facte, not In manner ol
of patenting them.

In my flrt article, I prevented a long

clutlvely that Luiher did not di*tlnguib

GENT*—Whoever you are, I don't
know; tiut I thank the Jxird and leel
gratelul to you to know that tn this
world of adulterated medicines there i
one compound that proves and doe* all
it advertise* to do, and more. Four
year* ago I had a alight shock of palsy,
which unnerved me to su< nan extent
that the Icitet excitement would make
nie shake like the ague. LasA May 1
ws* induced totrr Hop Hitter*, i used
one l>ttie, hut did not ace any change ;
another did so change rny nerves that
they are now a* steady as they ever
Were. It U*ed to lake Loth hand* to
write, but now my good right hand
write* ihi*. Now, it you continue to
manufacture a* h<>net and good an
article a* you do, you will accumulate
an honest fortune, and cooler the
greatest LSc*ing on your tellow rnn
that wa*eyer conferred on mankind.
