" NOTE B."-Extracts from the fathers. Where do you find Christianity in them? I never did, and it is denied in some of these extracts. None except Diognetus, and perhaps Irenaeus, were sound on the divinity of Christ. The believer can receive only what was from the beginning, that is, what is in the Word of God. "He that is of God heareth us." The abuse of Scripture in Mr. Jukes's book is flagrant. The remarks from page to page in what precedes will show this.
NOTE.-The preceding examination of Mr. Jukes's book consists simply of marginal notes made on the pages of it in course of reading it. The writer had no thought of publishing them in doing so. But as it was thought that the publication of them might show what is palmed now on the public mind for enlightened religious teaching, and received by unsuspecting readers and hearers, not accustomed to search into the trustworthiness or adequate ground for what they read or hear, they have been linked together and published. Canon Farrar's Sermons in Westminster Abbey and Mr. Samuel Cox's Salvator /1fundi-both evidently, the latter admittedly, inspired by Mr. Jukes's book-show that such an exposure of the book was needed. Popular religious leaders must in this day be unsound in the faith, the rush towards religious infidelity has become so rapid.
