SWISSHELY ON THE ISPALLIBILITY OF YHG BCRIPTURES. To the Editor of Tha Chicaao Tribuna: Prrrasurg, Pa., April 9.—If the trar slation of the.old library now being exhumed in Assyria should prove that the histories of G enesis wers not, as we have beliaved, special re velations to Moses, bus only versions of old mytlss,what ahall weloee? Must our wholo Christirm system ba discredited,[and will the world be le ft-as described by Jean Paul Richter whan he lerizo.ed that God waa dead? . % Couvesis weewms to ba the c/yrmer-stone, not only of the Jewish, but of the C'hristian system; and, if its statements ars to be fairly disproved and their clairn to inspiration suthoritatively discarded, m Hons of Jews and Christisos will feel romewhat as the passengers on the Aictic rawst have done when they knew that that littls screw propeller had knocked a hole in her hu'l, and that their great ship waa surely going to the bottom of tha ocean; but willnot the alarm be gronndless? When Bcience first a7 snonuced that God's hand- ‘writing on the rocks ¢jid conclusively contradict the Genesia accoun’y of creasion, there waa & ' shiver -thronghont /Jhristendom; but it all set- tied down again ‘when Lhoolaglan- conciuded that the long and i.ndetinite * geological period ™ of Science was ta’s < day " of Revelation. It was difficalt to believ e thn the period of tims 20 carefully descri'sed in Grenesis as *the ovening ard the mormir,g ™ could bave been intended to mean & milion years, especially as the motions of the sun aod moon are to definn the langusge used by the writer: and it is eull ‘more difficalt to believa that creative & sergy ceazed toactin such s way ss to give au'shoricy to the Sabbath. 1f the other days were. Jang ‘geological periods, why did the Sabbath _differ in the essential feature of dura- tion? it wonld bave been better, perhaps, that 10 suc's comoromise had been fltemmud ~bet- terif we could have sdmitted Bishop Colenso’s viow of tho Pentateuch,—belter if we could have recetved the knowledge offa truth without atimpting to reconcile it with previous gpir- iorss; but, if the whole history to which we have claog so tonacioualy should come to be discarded, Eurely all is not lost. We should have to give up the Jewish ides of the Great First Cause. We should lose the God of Abrabam; but would not the God of the Universe wmch more than compensate us? Who bas not struggled with the idea that the Great Heaven-Father, who eareth for the spariows, who * snpplieth the wanta of everytbing that lives,” who * hath gade of cns ‘blood all nations of men to dwell upon ths face of the whole earth,” who * maketh His rain to fall upon the evil and the zood,” and who doth visit the humblest plsnt mith_His supshics and dew, did for ages willfully withhold the imowl- edge of His existence from all His intelligent creatures, and then give if, 28 a special mkeri- tance, to one Arab Sheik or his. tribe, to ve by them held as personal property ? How hard it has been to believe that He waa a party toa policy by which He Himsel! waa hadr{eg in and fonced about with ceremonies by one hittle nation, while all the other nations whom He had created, prs- served, and wacm He every hour visited with His temporal biessiogs, were' arbitranily cut off from all epiritual communion with Him ! ‘fo my mund, no emancipation could be so precions as deliverance from that Egyptisn bondage by which X bave feit required to beheve that the God I see everywhere, whose voics is audible in every sound, eitber in mercy or m warning,—that God who is the one great fact of existence,—did ever, at any time, confine Hin favors 2o Abraham; did ever approve and hold. up s, 3 model that very unlovely characier, Jacoby; did ever direct and approve the croe? and ruggressive wars of their descendants; did evey, in short, do any of the dreadful thngs as¢sibed to Him in the k of Genesis. As would be coming out of a dungeon into tha S'aeet air of heaven to hava the old Jewish ‘heology forever disproved and set abnaught, as the dream and creation of a marrow- minded, self-opinion=d, and fanatical peoplo. Who would mot rejoice to kneol on the ‘otintain-top, with the poor pagav, the Mobam- medan, the Brahmin, the Bndd;{l‘m the barba- risn, sod say, *Qur Fatlber.” No mluar'her- discoveries may carry o8 out on tha ocean of Truth, they never can discover God out of ex- 18tence; they never can take from us the anchor of His presenca; and, whatever part of the Bi- ble may go, its purs morality will remaln, and the Inowledge it confirms that God is, a=d that He is the rewarder of the righteous, the pun- igher of the wicked. Wo will utill have ita con- Sfirmation—the testimony of the best and most enruest seskers after mruth, in many ages, in- apired by the love of it—to contirm the tohch- ings of Nature, that its Author is Inexorable Lavw and an Impartial Execntive; tat this phye- ical world is a typo of something nnseen, imd tnat all its analogies point to retribulion for broken law. ‘Take from thoe whole Bible the ides of special, infallinle inspiration which we have so lang at tached to it, and iCis a question whether itg value would be increased or dimiuis] Admit freoly the probability of errors ; rest ita iiamms on its merit, and it 18 _invaluable as & gUdde, as & repository of much that was lost in the wisdom of tho sges. Nothing can take from us the life, tho living exampls, and the precepts of Christs 2and grant that the accounts we have of Him ore tne imperfect, bul faithful, works cof esrn- est and fallible men, es Labie to errors as the works of other men equally earnestaod nonest, and how much of their value is lost?
