Gospel and to exterminate all those obstacles within us which hinder the energy of the universalS pirit of God. The infidel immorality of the Georgian era, when it was widely supposed amongst the most cultivated classes that the religion of the Crucified was exploded for ever, has little exact counterpart amongst ourselves. The degradation of the Church of theS tuarts has left no trace or influence except the not unnatural alienation of some of the Christian bodies from the organized expression of the national faith. Times have often been worse than they are now. The bitterest things that can be said against the Gospels have been clearly and carefully enunciated. A hostile critic has summed up the labour of years, and of hundreds of industrious German lives, against the documents of our faith ;the worst has been studiously put before us; and it is found that the only result has been a clearing of the atmosphere from those heavily-charged clouds of exaggerated doubts and unexamined surmisings which had caused unreasonable alarm. Sift the documents, said our critics. Their authority has been again examined, and their only condemnation is found to be that they tell us what we are ready to believe.
