TKUTH OF THE BIBLE

A FEW FACTS WHICH PROVE ITS AUTHENTICITY.

Dr. Madison C. Peters States Some Historical Truths—The Old Testament Handed Down Unadulterated—The New Written

Before the Council of Nice.

Sunday evening, Nov. 10, at the Bloomingdale Reformed church, New York, Dr. Madison C. Peters preached on the "Truth of the Bible." His text was, "Being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you the reason concerning the hope that is in you."—I Peter, 3-15. The preacher said in part:

The world is full of bulky and expensive volumes which demonstrate beyond the possibility of a doubt the truth of the Bible. But these books seldom reach the people who need them most. I want in this discourse to give you a simple statement of a few facts which prove the authenticity and inspiration of the Bible.

Christianity as we have it now is precisely what it was when first revealed. If no such a person as Jesus Christ had ever existed and his crucifixion by the Jews had been mere fiction, would not the Jews have claimed that no such events transpired? No such objection was recorded or was ever attempted, and there was a common consent among the foes and friends of Christ that the New Testament was composed by the persons whoso names it bears and at the time when it professes to have been written, and that its facts, whatever its doctrines may be, are true.

About a year ago a distinguished infidel lecturer declared from a public platform that the New Testament was gotten up by the council of Nice, A. D. 325. Granting this lecturer just credit for his oratorical abilities, he is not only notorious but ridiculous for his ignorance of the facts of history.

These are the facts in the case: Origen, 100 years before the council of Nice, quotes 5,745 passages from all the books of the New Testament Tertullian, A. D. 200, makes more than 3,000 quotations from the gospel and epistles Clement, A. D. 194, quotes 380 passages Irenseus, A. D. 178, quotes 767 passages Polycarp, who was martyred A. D. 165, after having served Christ for 86 years, quoted 36 passages in a single letter. Infidel writers like Celsns, A. D. 150, and Porphyry, A. D. 204, referred to and quoted scores of the very passages now found in the Bible today.

It has been shown by men who have searched the writings of the church fathers to the end of the third century that the whole of the New Tostament can be found in their writings with the exception of 11 verses—writings which are still extant, so that if at tlie time of the council of Nice every copy of the New Testament had been destroyed the book could have been reproduced from the writings of the early church fathers who quoted it and believed it as we quote and believe it now. But how about the Old Testament? The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible made at least 300 years before Christ, and stands as a proof that the Old Testament as we now have it is substantially the same as was used by the Jews 300 years before Christ. That the Jews preserved the Old Testament uumutilated is very evident from this fact alone—that our Lord never charged them with corrupting the sacred text. He said they had made void the word of God by their traditions, yet never once did he chargo them with corrupting the sacred volume. Why, the Jews were so scrupulously particular that they counted the number of words, syllables, letters and paragraphs in every book, and reckoned also how many periods or sentences are contained in each book. There are extant Dearly 1,200 manuscripts of the Old Testament, all agreeing each substantially with the other. The very multitude of manuscripts prove that the Old Testament has been handed down pure and unadulterated.

We call the Bible a book, but here are 66 different books from the pens of 40 different writers. Written by priests, poets, prophets, kings, herdsmen, statesmen, legislators, tax gatherers and fishermen. They were written in forms of history, biography, parables, proverbs, prophecies, poems, speeches, sanitary science, laws and letters, ethics, eloquence and medicine, and they were written, some in the center of Asia, some in Arabia, others in Palestine, in Rome and the last one in the lonely island of the .ZEgean sea, tlie first author, Moses, having lived nearly 2,000 years later than the last, John, and all these writers have the same end in view. All are advancing the same scheme. The book has a beginning, a middle and an end. It is the realization of one mind executed by 40 others.

In the first book we have man's ruin by sin, and, shining through all the rest of it, man's redemption by Christ. In the first chapter we have the heavens and the earth, and in the last chapter the new heavens and the new earth. In the one we have paradise of Eden, the river and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and in the other we are told of the river and the tree of life upon its banks amid the paradise of God. At the beginning we have the institution of marriage and in the last the marriago supper of the Lamb in heaven. From the dim promise set forth in Eden "the seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent's head," to the Lamb in the midst of the throne, which John saw from the rocky isle, Jesus Christ as set forth is the burden of all the promises and the object of saving faith. -. j-

IMPORTANT REF9MS

Believed That the Sultan Sincerely Desires Them.

ARMENIANS ARE BLAMABLE

England Seemingly Opposed to a Naval Demonstration in Turkish {Waters—Ail Thought of Coercing the Porte Should

Be Laid Aside Suggestive Article in The Post, Inspired From the Throne. LONDON, NOV. 18.—Sir Philip Currie, British ambassador to Turkey, who has been in England during the past month in consultation with Lord Salisbury in reference to the troubles between the Turks and Armenians, started this morning for Constantinople via Vienna, His journey back to Turkey will b* made in as short a time as possible anc he will resume his post at Constantinople without loss of time.

Lord Salisbury, accompanied by his wife, went to visit the queen at Windsoi castle last night. It is evident that important decisions have, been arrived ai regarding Eastern affairs since to-day's Post published an article evidently inspired by the foreign office. The artielo is understood to indicate that the prime minister has decided that the most effort must be made to maintain the integrity of the Turkish empire and therefore efforts must, in the first place, be directed to restoring order in the disturbed districts.

Continuing, the article says: For the moment all thought of coercing the sultan should be laid aside. Ho has already given evidence of a desire to introduce reforms. It can not be doubted that he will defer to the wishes of the powers as soon as circumstances permit him to uo so. It is difficult to apportion tlie blame justly between the Turks and the Christians and it is believed on good authority that tho disorders are partly due to the careless order of the sultan, who commanded the provincial governors not to molest the Armenians while they were quiet 01 if they revolted to exterminate them. This order has been interpreted with much generosity by the Turks while the Armenians themselves are blamaable, to some extent, for fomenting disorders. "The ambassadors of the foreign powers in general, and Sir Philip Ourrie in particular, have acquired a position enabling them to give support to the Turkish government at this critical time. Sii Philip Currie's instructions are such as to justify him in delaying the execution of reforms until the authority by which they are to be carried out, has recovered from temporary weakness. At the present moment any naval demonstration in the Turkish waters, or undue pressure on the Turkish government, can only help precipitate a crisis from which Turkey's friends can hope to gain nothing and her enemies everything."

The article in The Post concludes by expressing the hope that the ambassadors will be able to place more confidence in his ministers, and that he can be induced to abandon his personal government, but adds that Sir Philip Currie and his colleagues must remember that they are not only apostles of humanity, but also guardians of peace. "The sultan has lateiy developed symptoms of a monomania hardly distinguishable from insanity, and it is not unlikely that he will meet with the same fate that overtook his brother, Murad, the former sultan, and thus simplify tho task of Europe."

A dispatch to The Times f:r::u Constantinople says that the sultan gave an audience to the Austiian ambassador, Friday. The ministers meet daily and the ambassadors also held a meeting yesterday, the Austrian ambassador presiding.

The money market is righting itself. The run 011 the Ottoman affected none of its 34 branches, except the branch bank at Beyrut, where slight trouble was reported.

It is officially announced that an Armenian disguised as an Arab was arrested at Orfah bearing a letter from the bishop of Aleppo to the Armenian bishop at Orfah, asking him to send gunpowder and saltpetre to Zeitoun to aid the insurgents, adding: "Baion of Zeitoun will organize an army. The Armenians of Marash are ready and eager for the fray,"

The correspondent of The Times learns that the Constitutional party profess 110 personal animus against the sultan, complaining only against him 011 account of his odious misgovernment. The Constitutional party should not be confounded with Nidhats Young Turk's party. The members of the Constitutional party say that they desire only rational government by peaceful means. They have never cared for vengeance nor for bloodshed.

A dispatch to The Standard from Constantinople says that the French official reports insist that there were, at least 5,000 victims as a result of the three days' massacre at Sivas, but this seems incredible. It is noteworthy that tho wave of Turkish violence is now sweeping westward. Tho idea prevails that when the inhabitants of the Zeitoun district have been wiped out, the massacres will temporarily cease, leaving for winter and famine tho complete extermination of the Armenians.

Order has been restored at Gurun, a town of Asia Minor, and official dispatches during the last two days seem to show that the sultan fearing action by the powers, has ordered the massacres to be stopped.

The campaign against the young Turks continues, according to the correspondent of The Standard who says:

Thirty-six more of the members of the members of the Young Turks party have been drowned off Kallci island. This will be denied officially, but I am satisfied of tho truth of the report.

The correspondent says that representatives of tli3 different governments at the Muosli consulates report a small loss of life during the recent riots there, owing to the gallant behavior of the governor, who exposed his own life in order to stop the fighting, while the better class of Moslems sheltered the Armenians in the various mosques.

In conclusion the correspondent of The Standard says that the various Turkish papers publish fresh appeals, urging upon the people the necessity of abstaining from all acts of violence.
