CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Thoughts of men in the present day necessitate a plain and truthful as well as reverent expression of opinion. Duty of exercising the reason. Views of Butler ; Locke ; Whichcote ; the 'Westminster Confession.' Attacks which are beside the mark. Importance of removing stumbling-blocks from the path of religion. The greater part of this book consists of proofs of the grandeur and supremacy of the Bible. The benefits which resulted from the plain speaking of 'Eternal Hope.'

The things which cannot be shaken and remain. My object is to strengthen the cause of Christianity
