I cannot, in the hmits of a singlo disconrse, do justico to the subject. It would roquire volumes to do that. IHe has justy alluded to tae gravity of the theme. TlLo Churci of Jeaus Coret rosts 1pon tho resurtection of s Lord and Savior ficin the dead as on & ohiof cornar- utone, Remove that nod the wholo editico fum- blea to the ground. It ts due to Judge Booth to eay that be tiss prescntod the arguments agsinst the resorrection of Christ as strongly es thoy cau bo put. Ilo has gone over pretty much tho whole field socarofully covered by Sirauss, Bagor, and others, 1leavo it to this Iuteligent andi- enco to Judgo whother the foucdations of our faith nro 10 dauvger or pot, Withs tho collsteral matter lutroduced by Judge Dooth I cannot desl, I sitaply plast myselt on the aecumptivi s, assersioas, and priceiples made by him 5 governing him In nis diseuss'on of tho question. Judge Hooth admits or asuumes the fotlowing facts and rivclple: First—That the four Gospels al! belcng to the Apaatolic age, all belug wnitton withinsixty yoars aftor tho death of Christ : the Guepel of John being composed about that t.me, and tho Gospel of Maik probably ni.lun twenty years from that groat oveat. Thoy wuse thorefors written maoy years after tho sayings and duings occurred which they profesa to rolato. Second—Tuat thess Goapels were written by tho mea whose uames thoy bear, Third—Tunt Jesun Christ wes a veritablo etson, a great sud most extrsordinary presenco,; that He Impressed Himself and 1 {a words ma remnrkablo nunner upun Lis Disciples ; that Ho was in the Linbit of repeatiog His most sn- {)onum. teachings agaly ond acuiy, these tench- ogs Leing doub.esu corroctly saminarized w the Barmon on the Monnt, Fourth—It would be duing violenco to the probalilities of the caso to snpposo that the rec.rds of tho uayinga and dolugs of tho Marter aro fieo trom misconception, misrecollec.don, or oxacgeration on Lhie part of the nasrators, Fifth—Wo tind d.scror:ancies i the nurretives of thepo writern; for oxam, lo, the different 1n- Hediptions on the cro=s ; therefors wo tmust con- clude that they wero not juraihblu writers. Sixth ~Tunt’thoss four biogrephical skotchen or momoirs areall of au exceedingly tragmentary oud nnmatisfuctory cosracter,—none of thew posserainyg mach mont tor methodical arrango- ment, sequence of ovents, chrunological order, or treatment of aubject For the piesont I wiil ‘oave out of tho qnestion the lnlsliility or jus)iration of tuo writers of theso Goapels, and eudeavor o prove the fact of the resurroction of Chtlsy from tho princip les Iaud down by Judge Booth bimsolf, The Judge adiits that the Sermon on tho Mouut wus dehivered by Chrise, or that tho teachings alloged to havo been giveu on s mountaiu wera 80 often uttered that they were indelibly stawped on the momorics of Bis disciples, Who aro tho narratois of this eublimo d.scourse ¢ Matlbow and Luke only. Neither Mark nor John have & word to say about it, Think now of the transcendent impurianca of that sermon, embodsing all the graud, comprelousive princi- ples of Cliristian morality, and the glorious apir- itual truths of Wi Kingdom, univerzal and ever- Jastiug ; & sormwon whicl has won the admirae tiun, uie af.er age, of both the friouds aud foes of Chnstiauity, aud yot only tvo of the Lvaue g roourd it. Now, Judgs Booth sava that, uso Matthow afoue relutes the acconut of the mcoting of Chast sfter Il resurcoction with his Disciples in tho mountain in_Gail.oo, o ia dicredited by (be Teat of tho Lvaugolists. Where is bis coosistency ? Futher, the.o is en n|v£uoul discropancy between Matthewand Lulie ws tu the place whors this aarmon was delivered. Matthew saya it was given by Chriet sitting ou & miountajn ; Luce says Jesus was standing on a ptain. Tho apparout discieonucy s eamly recouciled, Judgs Booth by no dutiieulty 1u reca.ving the Serwon on the Mount fu spita of ths amcrasnxm'. but whon Luke enys *it was Mary Magdalens, and Josuna, ‘sod Blay, the Tmother of Jamea. and othor women tuat were with tbom, which told thow things unto the Apostlos,” and Matihow sayy, **Mary Magdalcuo aud the other Mury, mothier of James and Jusor, cams o see the sepulchre™ (e names of the othor ,women nut being montion. ed), then Judge Hooth sees a (atal conilict of tostumonv betwoan them as (o tho fact of (he rosurrechion, Further, Luke's account of tho Fermon un the Mouut s coutaned {u twenty. ing veress, while Maithias raquires 118 voiwus, Luke omita muny precopts which Matthew gives, a0 thet Mate tigw alons gvaes the wermon in tull.
