MB' Bditor: My last eommuoi-
ca(ton on rtiin oaiij^uliMwsaed the
question whether inttd^ity, or uu*
toith t BmI ever discovered, or led
to the diacoveiy ot nU>' important
Math, aiwl I furnished examples of
who 1 mean , winding up with h
Warning that to play with intideli-
t> i* to play with moral dynamite,
and that mr the explosive force of
that article is a!wa\s downward, >-o
with its mor.d cou.iterpart—it uu-
dermine* ch;»r»cter, lov era moral
ataudards, and destroys things in
general, t»eMdes playing havoc wi'h
all who come within range of its
destructive powtr. I promised lo
E ire that propositi iii, and i wi.l,
t uot now. What 1 wish to ills
ross in this present paper i< to
show that all Unwise, all tlie»iuart
meo, ad the sssa who have swayed
the world and inscribed tMr fame
on the scroll of human hi-dofy, are
not on the side of the agnostics and
infidels. **
The late Matthew Arnold is htoit
ed upon as a trait of eminent abil
ity and extensive learning. He
was a man who was above the
slightest suspicion of any theological
bias. Shaking ol ‘*^ight^ouslles^ , ’
aa a locality, as it were, and meth.
odsof attaining it as so many load*
sr ways to wants it, he says, “Try
all the wa'ftto rigStHpisneeH you
ean think of, and you wijl find that
wo way brings you to it except tbe
way of Jesus, but that this *hv
does bring y«u to it." Now hero is
an agnostic making he same claim
aalo tbe teachings of the world's
Bedeeuier (as ne esteem Him), that
a 'Jhristiau preacher would W«-
mifht ask “if riglileousness is to
be found by following tbe way
Jesus Christ biased out, and if
righteousness is the thing that men
ought to seek to attaiu to, what
re do« s Arnold or suy other man
deaire or need, to induce him to
follow in that way 1 Is he afraid
lest he might meet Jesus in the
way 1®
