Excerpt from The Bible on the Rock: A Letter to Principal Rainy, on His Speech in the Free Church Commission, and on Professor W. R. Smith's Articles in the 'Encyclopedia Britannica' The order in which Professor Smith's articles should be read is Chronicles, ' Bible, ' Canticles, ' and 'angel.' The article on {chronicles' first awakens suspicion of coming mischief, that entitled Bible' confirms the first impression of error and danger, Canticles shows what an exquisite capacity the School of Higher Criticism have for forming conjectures, and Angel, ' in stead of being robed in the light of heaven, is a dreary negation. The trail 'of the Rationalistic serpent is over them all, but around Angel' the slime is most abundant. We now give quotations, beginning with the article Chronicles.
