Dr. Raleigh, an able London Congregationalist minister, has been in

trouble for asserting that there are errors in the Bible. In a letter defending himself against the attack of the English independent, he points out that if the Bible reveals all that God wishes to reveal of Himself,—as he believes,—it is not adding to the certainty of this, but combining it with a very needless and incredible marvel, to suppose that all who have recorded His revelation have been miraculously preserved from other error. Dr. Raleigh only says what ninety out of every hundred thinking men know to be true. But how much is there not of modern religion which consists in fighting shy of what it knows to be true, and trying to half believe falsehood ?
