that detail would seem superfluous. He
is the uncompromising enemy nl uny N -

he stands pledged to the preservhtioo ol a
policy that llfl“ so fully realized the. hopes!

He was the early. as he has been the con

An astonishing feature»! the word ol
God ts. notwithstanding the time at which
Ito compositions were written, and the
multitude of the topicsto which‘it alludes.
there Is not one physical error—not one
assertion or altosion disproved by the pro.
grésa at modern science. None of those
mistakes which the science at each suc
ceeding age discovered in the books pre
ceding; above all. none ,pl‘ those nbsurdr
ties which modern astrogiom'y indicates in
such great numbers in the writings of tlte
ancients-4n their sacred codes—in their
philosophy. and even in the finest pages
ul the fathers of the church—no: one ol
these errors is to be'l'titind in any of our
sacred books. Nothing there wrll ever
contradict that whtclt,ntter so many ages,
the investigation oltthe learned world hove
been able to reveal to us on the state of
our globe, or on that o! the heavens. Pe
