Part I. — V7ie relative services of Christianity and Infidelity to Amtr'can Liberty. Part IL— The relative services of Christianity and

Infidelity to Lu "ruing and Science.

Part nL — Is there a stronger probability tiiat the. Bible is diviru than that Infidelity is true?

The discussion has excited a large share of interest, both among believers Lud uabelievers; and as both sides are fairly presented, it is sui'ed \,o readers of all shades of opinion.

The New York Advocate, a paper having a very extensive circulation, in spet kii.g of the volume, says, " Perhaps a more able and exhaustive presentation of both sides of the great questions which hi,ve agitated the civilized world for centuries has never been made. A 1 , any rate, in this volume will be found a perfect magaziuo or storehouse of arguments, pro and fon*, which every intelligent man aDd woman should peruse with candor and with a l -earnest desire to arrive at sound conclusions on themes of the highest inportance to all mankind. . . Light is what we l 2ul. Let the controversies proceed. Let the blows descend upon the error dispelling anvil. Let the sparki fly in all direction! from the heated steel. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing- but the truth, is what the people demand on all the great questions of the day, whether of Finance, Science, Politics, or Heligi • m, and discussion will elicit it," Let every person who feels I'm slightest interest in theological questions, whether on one side or the other, read the Humphrey-Bennett Discussion.

TOOKTBSB WITH A. SKETCH OF THE UJB 07 THX AUTHOR

There is no human religion outside of human nature.

The different forms of religion contain the elements of one universal religion, and are but different phases of the religion of humanity.

Describe to me the God whom you worship, and I see in that description a reflex image of yourself.

This is an able, argumentative, clear, and logical examination of the questions diccussed. It ^resante fairly the opposing arguments and giv.<w due consider^tior to every sida of the subject.

Every Liberal can afford to own tb*s U*tle work, and it will \$ found a valuable acquisition to his library.
