Excerpt from The Deluge in the Light of Modern Science: A Discourse

Fear not, my brother: it can but burn the straw and stubble if gold, it will shine as bright after the fie! Y ordeal as before, and reflect as perfectly the image of truth. The Bible abounds with marvellous stories, stories that we should at once reject from their intrinsic im~ probability, not to say impossibility, if we should find them in any other book. But, among all the stories, there is none that equals the account of the deluge, as given in the sixth, seventh, and eighth chapters of Genesis. It towers above the rest as Mount Wash ington does above the new-england hills; and, as travellers delight to climb the loftiest peaks, I sup pose that many would be pleased to examine this lofty story, and see how the world of truth and actuality looks from its summit.
