The Bible, or Freethought?

A Review of Mr. R. Stout's Lecture on Inspiration.

By T. E. Marsdan.

"There is a charm in knowledge, best when bought
With vigorous toil of mind, and earnest stretch of thought."

"Man's real position on this earth is that of a Truth-seeker. Not always, however, does he become a Truth-finder. This may partly result from the limitations of his nature; but far more frequently does it result from erroneous methods of research."—Neil, Art of Reasoning.

"Every man is born to search for truth, and make free his nature from confusion and doubt."
—Mendelsshon.

"Knowledge is as food, and needs no less Her temperance over appetite."—Milton.

"I present the reader with nothing but what he may have had in his view before. I pretend only to remind him of things that may have slipped his memory, or to point out objects that may have escaped his notice."—Tucker.
