When such scientific notions are put forward as facts, and formally opposed to the direct teachings Of the Bible, and when these speculations are not confined to the appropri ate theatres Of scientific discussion, but intruded into the school-books put into the hands of our children and brought home to our firesides; and when the funds of our common schools are employed in instructing the children Of Chris tians that the fundamental facts of the Bible are fictitious, it is high time for us to awake to an examination of the case. This is no longer a mere discussion of a scientific problem it is a propagandism of infidelity Of the most ex tensive and dangerous character. N o matter how respect able otherwise its promoters, the theory is anti-christian, and its acceptance saps the very basis of Christianity.
