Marching on to war, With the Cross of Jesus, going on before. No weapon that is forged against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. _Isaiah 54:17._ [Illustration: COPYRIGHT, 1896, BY FRED’K L.

The five senses are not the boundaries of human knowledge. Humanity is endowed with higher faculties than these. If one chooses to live on a plane higher than that of the brute he may experience emotions and aspirations that are higher than those of the animal kingdom. He may also rise still higher and think the thoughts of God. To do so, however, one must approach God in the proper attitude and in a manner consistent with His being. God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. They that approach the throne of mercy in any other manner, whether in vaunting conceit or by impertinent inquisition, will find the heavens a brazen canopy that will send back the echo of their prayers. The starry skies reveal no beauty to those who cover their telescopic lens with a flannel rag, and God’s revelation contains no word of promise to those who cloak it with their own conceit. O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not. _Jeremiah 5:21._ [Illustration: COPYRIGHT, 1896, BY FRED’K L.

So universal has the authority and influence of Jesus Christ become that it is no longer possible to dispute his sway by resort to argument. In the court of final appeal men are forced to confess that he is the most matchless character, the most loving and forgiving and patient man of history. The majority of us are compelled to admit that such rare traits would be impossible in a life that was less than divine. But there are men who see no loveliness in him and if they can not attack by argument they must attack him by abuse. They resort to ridicule, blasphemy and falsehood, and though the spectacle thus presented is one that shocks the finer sense in almost every human heart, nevertheless there are those who will pay a liberal admission to see this performance enacted. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh. _Proverbs 1:26._ [Illustration: COPYRIGHT, 1895, BY FRED’K L. CHAPMAN & CO. INFIDELITY’S ATTACK.
