"Hut." says some one, "while we admit the liible is of Hod, it has not been under atood until our time." My answer Is, that if the Hihlo lie a letter from God, our Fnther.to man, His child, Is it not strange that that letter should have been written in such a way that it should allow seventy genera tions to pass away ami be buried liefore tho tetter could be understood; That would be. a very bright Father who should write a letter for the guidance nnd intelligence of His children not understandable until a thousand years alter they were buried ami forgotten: While as the years roll on other leaute and excellencies will unfold from the (scriptures, that the Hiblo is such a dead failure that all the Christian scholars for 1hki years were dceive.l i" regard to vast reaches of its meaning, is a detnnnd tiHiu my credulity so great that if I found myself lit all ilsKd to yield to it I should to-ninrrow morning apply at toiiio insane asvluiii as unlit to go alone.

C all the roll of all the miseionarie who are to-dar enduring sacrifices In the ends ot the earth for the cause of religion and the world's Imtterment, and they all believe in an entire Bible. Jus: a soon as a missionary begins to doubt whether there ever was a uarden of Eden, or whether there Is any mt-lt thing as future punishment, he conies right home from Iteyrout or Madras, and goes into the insurance business! All the missionary societies this day are olllcered by Orthodox men, and are supxrted by Orthodox churches. Orthodoxy, beginning with tha Rnndwlch Islands, has captured vast regions of liar barism for civilization, whilo het"rdoxy has to capture the first s piara inch. HUta it for many years in Ureat Britain and the I'nite 1 Htatos, and strutting altout with a peneockbin braggadocio it has yet to capture the lirst continent, tho first state, tho first township, the first ward, the first space of ground as big as you could cover with th small end of a sharp pin. Ninety nine out of every hundred or the Protectant churches of America wire built by people who believed In an entire Bible. The pul pit now may preacli some other lopl, but It is a heterodox pun on an orthodox carriage. Tho founilations of all the churches that are of very great use in this world to-day were laid by men who be lieve! the Bible from lid to lid. and if I cannot take it in that war I will not take it at all; just as if 1 received a letter that pretended to come from a friend, and part of it was his and part some body else's, and the other part somebody else's, and it was a tort of literary mongrel ism, ami I would throw the garbled sh uts into the waste basket No church of very great influence to day but was built by those who believed in an entire Bible. Neithr will a church last long built on a part ot the Bible. You have tiotii'ed, I ftiippos", th'it as soon as a man legln to give up the Bibln he is apt to preach in sonn hall, and he has an audience whilo he lives, and when he dies the church diet. If I thought th it my church in Brooklyn was built on a ipisrtcr of a Bib'e, or a half a Bible, or thre-iiunruTS ot a Bible, or nlnety-nino one hundredths of a Bible, I would cxisM't it to die when I die; but hn I know it is built on the entire Word of Wo 1, I know it will list two hundred years after you and I sleep the lastsleep, I Mi, the splendors of nn ortho doxy, which, with ton thousand hands nnd ten thousand pu'p ts ami ten tliousind Chris tian churches, is trying to save th? world! In Music Hall, Boston, for many venrs stood Theodore Parker battling ortlioiloxy, Riving it, as foine suppose I at that time, its death wound. He w as tho most fascinat ing man I ever heard or ever exjiocted to hear, an l 1 came out from bearing him think ing In mv lHiyhoo-1 wav: "Hell, thnt s thu death of the church." On that same street and not far from being opioait, stood Park Congregationnl t'hiirch, called by its enemies "Hell-lire Corner." Theodore Barker died ami his church died with him; or, it it is in existence, It is so small you cannot ft-e it with the naked eye. I'nrk Congregational Church still stands on "Hell-lire Cot ter," thundering away the nmginllcent truths of this glorious ortlioiloxy just as though Theo dore Parker hud never liveiL All that Bos ton, or Brooklyn, or New York, or tho world ever got that is worth having canto through tho wide aipiedtlct of orthodoxy from tho throne of tiod. Behold the splen lor of character built up by orthodoxy. Who had the greatest human intellect the worid ever knew' Paul. In physical stature, insignificant: in mind, head and shoulders above all the giants of tho age. Orthodox from scalp to he d. Who was tho greatost poet theng-seversaw,acknowlelged to lo so both by infidels nnd Chris tians' John Milton, seeing more without eyes thnn anybody elso ever taw with eyes. Orthodox friii ii si -alp tolled. Who was tho greatest roformer the world his ever seenf so acknowledge 1 by Infidels as well as by Chris tians. Martin Luther. Ortuo lox froiu scalp to heel. Thn look at the certitudes. O man, ! lievmg in au entire Bible, where did you come from! Answer: "I disceuded from a perfect parentage in Paradise, and Jehovah breathed into my nostrils the breath ot life. I am a son of G od." O nian.bolieving ina half-and-half Bible, believing in a Bible iu spots, whore did you come fro-af Answer: "It is all uncertain; in my am-estral lino a war back there was anorang-outaug anda tadpole and a polywog, and it took millions of years to get mo evolutod." Oh man, boliering in a Bible in spots, where are you going to when you iptit this world Answer: "Going into a great to lie, so on into tho great some hero, and then I shall pas through ou to the great anywhere, and I shall probably nrrlre In tho nowhere." That is whore 1 thought you would fetch up. O man, Imliuving iu an entire Biblo, and believing with all vour heart, where are you uomg to when lonre this worldf Answer: "1 am going to my Father's house; I am going into tho compinionship of my loved ones who have gone hefoiv; Iain going to leave nil my Kins, and I am going to be with God mid like tiod forever and forever." Oh, the glorious certitudes of orthodoxy! Behold tho splendors of orthodoxy in it announcements of two destinies. Palace and uitit iitinry. Pnlaco with gates on nil sides through which all miv enter and live on leleiliul luxuries world without end, mi l all lor tint kuockingaml the asking. A palace gran dor than if nil tlio Alhamlirasniiil the Versailles and tho Wind sor Cistlesuud tho Wiuter liardeiM mid tha iniHrial abodes of all enrth were ln-ave l up into one architectural lory. At tho other end of thu universe a kiiteiitiiiry where men who want their sins can have them. Would it I hi fair that you and 1 should have our choice of l'hri-.t und the palace, and other men le doniol their choice of sin and etcriinlilegritdationf Pnhkcenml )eiiitontiary. Tho lirst of no ue unless vou hive the laut. Brooklyn and Now York would bo better places to live in with Raymond Ktreot Jail, tho Tombs and Sing King, and all the small pox hospitals emptied on them, than Itouven would lie if there wero no hell. Palace and penitentiary. If I see a man with a lull bowl ot sin, and he thirsts for it, and bis w hole nature craves it, and he takes hold with both hands and presses that IhjwI to his lips, and then presses it hard between his teeth, and the draught begins to pour its sweet ness down his throat; shall we snatch away the bowl, and jerk the man up to the gnto of heaven, and push him in if he does not want to go nnd sit down and sing psalms forever No. God has Hindu you and mo so completely free that we need not go to heaven unless wa prefer it Not more froo to soar than free to sink. Nearly all the heterodox peopln I know be lieve all are coming out at the same destiny; without regard to faith or character we are all coming out at the shining gate. There they are, all in glory together. Thom as Paine and George Whitolleld, Jezebel nnd Mary Lyon, Nero and Charles Wesley, Charles Guiteau and James A.tiarfleld, John Wilkes Booth and Abraham Lincolu all in glory together ! All the innocent men, wo men, and children who were massacred, side by side with their murderers. If we are all coining out at the same destiny, without regard to character, then it is true. 1 turn away from such a debauched heaven. Against that cauldron of piety and blasphemr, philanthropy a lie assassination, suit sacrlllce and beastlinesi, I ploco tho two destinies ot the Bible foiever und forever and forever apart Behold also the splendors of the Christian Orthodox death beds. Those who deny the Bible, or deny any part of it nevor die well. They either go out In darkuess or they go out in silence Iiortentous, You may gather up all tha dographies that have come forth sine the art of printing was invented, and I challenge you to show me a triumphant death ot a man who rejected tha Hcrtptures or rejected any part ot them. Here I make a great wide avenue. On the one I put the death beds of those who believed in an entire Bible. On tho other side of that avenue I put tha death beds ot those who rejected part of tha Bible, or rejected all of tha Bible. Now, take my arm and let us pass through this dividing avenue. Look off upon the right side. Here are the deathbeds on tha rlitht side of this avenua "Vio- Itory through our Lord Jesus Christ I" "Frea graoul" .''Glory, glory I" am sweeping through tha gates washed In tha blood of the Lamb!" "Tha chariot are coming!" "I mount I fly!" " Wings, wingsf "Titer are coming for me!" "Peace, bsj till!" Alfred Cookman's death-bod, Richard Cecil's d-ath b id. Coumn lore Poota's death lied. Your father's death bed, your mother's dath-ba'l, your sister's death bed. your child's death-bo I. Ten thonsand radiant, songful death-beds of those who believed an entire Bihle. Now, take my arm and let us go through that avenue, nnd look off upon the other side. No smile of hope. No shout of triumph. No face supernaturally illumined. Those who reject any part of tha Bible never dio well. No beckoning for angels to come. No listening for the ca leslial eai-ort Without anr exception they go out of the world liecauso they are pushed out; while on the other hand tha list of those who Isslloved In an entire Bible nnd gone out of the world in triumph is a list so long it s"m Intermina nble.

But you follow iii crl,,a'',, against any part of the Iiiblo first of all you will give up Genesis, which is as trua as Matthew; then you will give up all the historical po-u of the Bible; then after a while you will give up the miracles; then you will find It convenient to give up tha Ten Command ments; and then after a while you will wake up iu a fountainloss, rovkloss. treeless desert swept of everlasting sirocco.

A Little Thlas; Way Ilrclils. A Cunarder put out from England for New York. It was well equippsl, but in putting up a store In the pilot-box, a nail was driven too near the compass. You know how that nail would alfect the compass. Tha hip's olllcers.deceired by that distracted compass, put the ship two hundred milos olf her right course, and suddenly the man on the lookout cried, "Land hot" and the ship was baited within a fow yards of her demoli tion on Nantucket shoals. A six-penny nail came near wrecking a great Cunarder. Small ropes hold mighty destinies.

Mankind is ever too ready to con tract habits that are evil and rile, bnbita that are productive of misery, suffering and crime.
