We want to tie impressed with the fact that

Another reason for our visit to this cilv is
that we wnnt to see tho place here "the

Isssn told ill America by some people of
wo!leti heads that the Christian religion is a
pusillanimous thing, good for children under
7 years of nge nnd small brained people, but
Imt for the intelligent and swarthy minded.
We have heard of your Constantino the

never found anything in Cnrlylo, or Wocthc,

definition of inspiration. Tho Hpirit Hak,

"Holy Hcripturo I therefore the Word of

When Augustine, lnlilshotne.it Carthage

either to prevent liim from going, or to go
with him. He would listen to neither prie
potal. and resorted to a trick to enrrv out
Ids plan. One evening be went to the sen
bore and hi mother followed. There were
twochais'ls dedicated to the memory of the
martyr t 'vprian, and he pressed her to ss'n.
one evening in the church of the martyr,
whilo he would accompany a friend .01
honnl a ship, there to "say farewell.
While she was thero In tears, praying
ml wr."tling with W.sl to prevent
the voyage. Augustine sailed for Italy,
ml his deceived mother next morning
found herself alone. In quiet nsignaiiin
he returned to the city and continued to
prny for the "nlvation of her son. Tlioiuh
meaning well, yet she cri.d in her prayer,
f r the iouri.ey of Augustine Won li.o mc:nis
of his salvation. The denial of the prat er
was, in fact, the answering of it. Instead of
the busk. Wod grsntcd rather tho substance
of her petition In flip rnnvc Hon of her son.
"Therefore," said he, "() Wod, thou hast n
eard to the nim and essence of her desires,
and didst not do wlmt she then prnve.l lor,
that thou ininhtst do for 1110 what she n.ti
