Cxrcaco, Il, Sept. 30.—It was very common with the preceding generation of infidels to claim that the Christ of the;Cbristian Scriptures and the Krishna of the Hindus were one and the same; or that the Hindus god being hundreds of- years older than Christ, the character of the ..Messiah was drawn in imitauon of that of the idol. No one: who has read the history of both meed be told that thelr churacters are as opposit as light and darkness. But the Hindus claim for their god some similarity of. circum- stances and surroundings to the Christ of the Scriptures. And, strange as it may appear, this old objection to Christianity is still passed around by a certain class of skeptics as gravely, ‘and apparently unconsciously, a3 if it had not been refuted by stubborn facta. a Itis stated by high philological authority that the Hindu god is 2 ‘creation of comparatively modern times. And some of our best scholars place the date of his pretended nativity at about Apno Domini 600. Hence whatever points of similarity may exist between the two aro evi- dently copied from the Scriptures themselves. Krishua is sometimes spelled Chrishoa, evi- dently for the purpose of confounding. the two, but, as Dr. Sleigh well remarks, the dishonesty of this course in a scholar ts unpardonable.

REPLY FROM A CATHOLIC STANDPOINT BY REV. F. X. WENINGER, D. D. ! To the Editor of ‘The Chicago Tribune, Cimcaco, Sept. 23.—Ingersoll Is regarded as ane of the most audacious blasphemers against religion and revelation. But reviewing his last lecture, “What Must We Do to Be Saved?” his Diasphemies and insults against logic and against charity are by far more audacious and conspicuous. |. ‘To prove this assertion we shall point out the following contradictions and calumnies con- tained in’ it. The reason why we confine our-! selves to nn exposition of his utter disregard of logic and the shamelesness of his calumntes; and not to discuss at lenzth the intrinsic weak- ness and wantonness of his arcuments, is his in- credible ignorance'of historical facts and the surprising deficiency of study on the topics of his discussions. How far this, his ignorance of bistorical facts, goes appears at the very outset of his attacks against the authenticity of the Gospels. His argument is thar the books of the New Testa- ment were not written in Hebrew and are there- fore spurious; evidently su; that, at the thine of Christ and His Apostles the language of the Jewe was Hebrew. But any scholar who has bot tusted with his lips the study of history knows that at the time of Jesus and the Apostles the Jews did not speak Hebrew, but Chalduic. ‘The reason Why the Apostles ‘wrote in Greek aud not in Chaldate was because. acconling to Cicero and others, Greck was spoken over the wholo-wurld, and was therefore the most su{t- able language in which to write the Gospels, not only for the Jews, but for mankind in general living at that time. k delegation, as might be expected, is from our own country. It numbers 137 members, who represent ¢leven different branches of the Pres- byterian fumily,—all, fortunately, that there are! Scotland sends forty-séven delegutes, Ireland eleven, England six, and Cunuda ‘eighteen. There ‘are represenuitives present, also, from Wales, Belgium, the Netherlunds, France,:-Ger- many.

From accurate statistical reports and carefully ccmpiled estimates which were published in 18%, it_appeura. that ‘there were then in the whole Presbyterian Church throughout the world 26,735,498 members; while, at the same time, the members of the churches and-, congregations together were reported to Gumber S180). If ow the ratio of increase for five years has everywhere heen equal to that ip our own. branch of the Church in this country, the membership of . the whole.

If to those tures we nid ‘the’ number of Lutherans iu the world, —and the Lutherans in doctrine up- proach nearly tthe Cilvinistie faith, and their lity is substantiaily Presbyterian,—the num- jer Of members would be increased to. more than fifty millions, representing a population of sixty-tive millions. “Of actual chureh-mombers of the Presbyterian ‘f@ith and‘ order, Germany takes the lend, having, im-1875;'18,415,878. .Hol- jand., comes " next. witng § .148..° Then ‘Austria with 1,912,153, a periend with 1,567,003, and Scotland ‘and “obr own coun- try, euch. with more than a milhon. follow in-, order.

SMASHING A TOMBSTONE. - “NOT SUFFICIENTLY. GUARDED IN EXPRESSING | ‘HIS RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS.” s New. York Observer. A letter from Canada, duved Ottawa, Sept. 14, makes mention of the cause of ‘the murder of @ young Orapgeman, an IrJsh Protestant, who was found in a deserted spot dead, “with a number of bullets in his bend.” The cause of his assas- ination Js thus graphically and cautiously stated: “It was thought by many that he.was not suflicfently guarded in expressing his religious convictions.” % ‘This is certainly cool und suggestive. Theim- portance: of being " guarded” in expressing your “religious convictions" is’ very clearly disclosed by the murder of this worthy Protestant youth. It seems that just ‘overthe line, in Can- ada, where the law is supposed to be adminis- } tered with more rigor and vigor than In these loose States of ours, even there the Roman Catholics have established such a despotism of their’ own, within the civil government, that a man must be “ yuarded in the expression of his relizious convictions,” or there is reason to ex- ‘pect he will be found in a deserted spot * with'a number of bullets in his head!” But this is not the end of the story.

But even this silent gtone was too eluquent.’ {t spoke continually of the heroic devotion of the young man to the truth as it is in the Gospel, and tho bitter hate of the Romnnists was roused to crush the stone as it bad slain the man. The writer of the letter already quoted says: ~~ : “It was hoped that his grave would at least be held sacred from the desecrating touch of .| his enemies or murderers, but it was discovered to-day that the large monument erected to. bis memory has been pried over and broken into a thousand pieces with a sledge-hammer. This dastardly outrage will again revive that bitter feeling of enmity between Catholics aud Or- angemen ere, which has given rise to sv" much bloodshed in Canada, but which for the past yeur or so had been dying out.” >There may be some parts of the United States where suck outrages as these might be perpe- trated without being punished.

The truth is that while Hindu literature is almost without dates, the present condition of Sanscrit philology dves not afford the scholar the requisit resources for embarking with any chunce of success in such, chronological speculations, In the meantime the utmost stretch of assumption. which in the actual condition of Sunscrit philol- ogy it is permitted to make, is that the latest static, Demosthenes, or Cicoro?” * Idon't | writings of the Vedic class are not mo: ent know.” Why?

It is important to remember that Krishnaism nowhere appears in the Verdas, which are the oldest of the Hindu sacred books, but only in the Puranas above referred to, which cyclope- dias unite in declaring to be of comparatively modern origin. : H, H. Wilson, who is one of the most eminent philologists of modern times, declares, in refer ence to these books (the Puranas), that “They are eighteen in number, and sonie of them vol- uminous, and I believe the oldest of them not to be anterior to the eighth or ninth century, and the most recent of them to be not more than three or four centuries old.” {Religion of Hindus,” Vol. IL, page an M.
