5. If Josephus were the author of this paragraph, it would be reasonable to expect in him frequent mention of Christ's miracles; whereas he is everywhere else silent about them. 6. The word Christ or Messiah appears not in any place in all the works of Josephus, excepting two; namely, the paragraph which we have been considering, which is now in the eighteenth book of his Antiquities; and another in the twentieth book of the name Antiquities where is mention made of James, the brother Jesus who is called 'Christ.' (Works of N. Lardner, vol. 7, pp. 14, 15.) EUSEBIUS. The Father of Church History. In referring to his work of writing a history of the church up to his own times, he says: "We are attempting a kind of trackless and unbeaten path." Again he says of Philo Judæus that he was a very "learned man." Among many other things which contradict this estimate, is the fact that Philo takes more than one hundred pages in showing how that dreams are sent from God. Again, Eusebius does not say that the last works of Hegesippus, Papias and Dionysius of Corinth, contain anything concerning the canonical gospels; therefore, they contained none. We give the opinion of a few well-known writers upon this "father of church history": In Draper's Intellectual Development of Europe, p. 197, Bunsen and Niebuhr are quoted--the one (Bunsen) as saying that he purposely "perverted chronology for the sake of making synchronisms," and the other (Niebuhr) declaring "he is a very dishonest writer." "Eusebius had a peculiar faculty of diverging from the truth." ("History of Christian Religion," p. 7.) "The gravest of the ecclesiastical historians, Eusebius, himself, indirectly confesses that he has related whatever might redound to the glory, and has suppressed all that could tend to the disgrace of religion." (Gibbon's "Rome," vol. 1, p. 493.) "In one of the most learned and elaborate works that antiquity has left us, the thirty-second chapter of the twelfth book of his evangelical preparation, bears for its title this scandalous proposition: 'How it may be lawful and fitting to use falsehood as a medicine and for the benefit of those who want to be deceived.'" (Gibbon's "Vindication," p. 76.) "But Eusebius, the father of church history, capped the climax by fabricating the celebrated passage about "Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him such." ("Anti-Christ," p. 28.) "He (Eusebius) has frankly told us that his principle in writing history was to conceal the facts that were injurious to the reputation of the church." (Lecky's "European Morals," vol. 1, p. 492.) "Eusebius, who would never lie or falsify except to promote the glory of God." (Taylor's Diegesis, p. 345.) Eusebius pronounces a panegyric upon Constantine. The following is the list of Constantine's murders as given by Robert Taylor:
