not his shed blood; that dried up within a 
few hours of his crucifixion. To say that we 
are “saved by the blood of the lamb” is a fine 
figure of speech, though a well-worn one. Of 
course, the martyrdom of Jesus adds emphasis 
to the truths be expounded, but it makes them 
not one whit truer than they were. 
Will the verbal inspirationalists please tell 
us when God quit sending messages to the 
world couched in his own words? It may be 
that that kind of inspiration ceased before Paul 
began preaching. If so, Paul is no greater, 
as an authority , than Whitefield or Moody. 
There is no reason why we should not read 
the Bible just as we would any other book, 
with reason enthroned. 
POPULAR OBJECTIONS ANSWERED 
Note.—The following objections to evolution 
with replies thereto are taken from a debate 
which the writer and several anti-evolutionists 
conducted some time ago through the columns 
of a popular weekly.

trying to rob God of the honor of creation by 
substituting certain natural laws for his om¬ 
nipotent power. This world and all therein 
didn’t ‘just happen’; it was created on purpose. 
We oppose this Darwin heresy because it con¬ 
flicts with the divinely-inspired word of God. 
. . . My opponent should be more positive in 
some of his statements and not say, ‘So-and-so 
is the opinion cf scientists, if he would have 
us forsake our old beliefs and adopt his. . . .
