JNGERSOLL AND FOLLY.
Col. Ingersoll baa written and deliv
ered to a large audience in New York a
new lecture entitled "The Bible." The
doughty Colonel proceeds, in hia bril
liant way, to attack the "Book" to
rend, to ridicule, to destroy. And yet,
when all bis vivid imagination, hia bril
liant intellect, hia wonderful control of
language, hia kaleidoscopic word paint
ing, his powers of mimicry, and his
masterly handling of pathos have com
bined to ruin the faith, the hope, and
the belief of others, the Bible stands,
still the foundation of all human laws ;
the teacher of morals, of justice, of vir
tue; the light which illumined the
world, and made modern civilization
possible. By it man and nations have
been lifted up, and by it neither men
nor nations have been pulled down.
Why quarrel with Ingersoll over its
inspiration? Why argue with him as to
its divine origin? Sufficient is the fact
that it guides safely the feet of human
ity in this world, and gladdens the
weary heart with hope of immortality.
Blessed hope, whose roses soften the
ragged pathway, and whose perfume de
lights the saddened soul. Humanity
cannot bring the evidence such as Inger
soll, such as our courts would require to
' establish the divine origin of the word.
The mortals who sat at the feet of the
Nazarene, whose eyes looked into His,
whose ears drank in the parables, and
whose bands penned an account of what
they heard and saw, have long since re
turned unto that dust from whence they
came, and their spirits unto God, who
gave them. They cannot rise from the
. dust to bear witness of what they saw.
Bat could they do so, would Ingersoll,
or such as Ingersoll, believe? Nay,
verily.
His arguments, and such as his, are
vain. He tells as that Brahma was as
pure and as holy ; that Vishim taught
as sincerely. Concede it. But we say
to him to lift his gaze from the earth at
his feet, and gaze beyond the limits of
his narrow sphere, and he will see that
the ' civilized world is tbe Christian
world. He will find that the civilized
world takes the Bible for its guide, be
cause it recognizes in it its creator. So
long as tbe red flowers of love shall
blossom in the human breast ; so long as
the holy feeling a mother has for her
child, and which, for lack of a better
term, our weak language calls "ma
ternal love" exists; so long as the strong
man wraps the sinews of affection
around his first-born; eo long as the
prattle of childhood can please, or the
suffering of those we love pain ; so long
aa the pathos of old age can touch our
hearts with sorrow ; so long as death
can take from us those we love ; so long
aa pity and woe can swell the foun
tains of our tears that long the prom
ises, held out to as in the Bible, of an
other and an immortal life, are neces
sary to our existence.
Let Ingersoll use his God-given tal
ents to ridicule the Bible if he will.
Bat as we part with those whose images
are engraved upon our hearts ; when on
the coffin-lid falls the harsh-soundinp
and cruel clod ; when over the mortal
body is heaped the' earth, a rounded
roof over the last home then one ray of
hope, one mustard grain of faith that on
the other side the loved one waits until
oar turn shall come, and that there,
where sorrow and sin enter not, and
parting is unknown, we shall live again,
brings more of comfort than all the ar
guments and lectures of all the Paines
and Ingersolls that ever tempted the
wrath of an all-merciful God.
JOHN DONOVAN'S CONTRACT.
Lots of people think that John Dono
van is . going to' have heaps of fun thid
winter. He's the only democrat elected
to the next Michigan legislature, and he
hails from Bay City. Those two things
combined, some folks seem to think,
onght "to make his life pretty nearly
all skittles and beer. But they're wrong.
It's mighty serious business, beintr the
whole minority in Michigan. If John
Donovan doesn't give up the struggle at
Lansing and go borne to peace and quiet
at Bay City long before the republican
factions begin to get through their quar
reling, it will be because of the giant
heart of him, that "inexhaustible reser
voir of grit and sand."
In tbe first place there are the com
mittees, thirty-five or forty of them.
The law of Michigan commands that the
minority shall be represented on every
one of them. Is that fun for Donovan,
or misery and trouble? It'll be fun
pocketing all the jackknives and paper
cutters that come his way, one for each
committee. He'll have nearly enough
to start a shop. But how it will make
him perspire, even in cold weather, hop
ping around from room to room, watch
ing the republican majorities in the
committees and standing manfully in
the forefront of the opposition, when
their schemes of chicanery and corrup
tion are proposed.
It's true the minority won't have to
waste much time attending caucuses,
and there's not much likelihood of a
serious division of opinion as to matters
of parly policy. There is no chance for
bickering about committee assignments.
The election provided for that. His
work is all cut out; there's the trouble
of it. Unless he's got more appetite for
work than a pot-bellied bronco has for
hay, Donovan of Bay City is going to
have an unusually lively time in Lansing
this winter.
The committee work is only the begin
ning. There are all the sessions to at
tend. He must watch the passage of
every bill, alert and eager to trap repub
lican schemes and expose, republican
frauds.- His is the only democratic
voice that can be raised in Lansing to
denounce the iniquity of an unfair and
partisan gerrymander. And while he
stands on the floor of the house pro
claiming abroad the scandalous ineffic
iency of the majority be must also be in
all of his committee rooms, his eager eye
wide open, quick to detect the first feign
of Jurking, hidden republican treachery.
Does anybody think that will be easy for
John Donovan of Bay City?
