Professor George Frederick Wright, of Oberlin College, yesterday afternoon spoke on "Turning of the Tide in Biblical Criticism" by special request of the American Bible League. He said in part: Providence la protecting the ark of divine truth which was launched upon the world two thousand years ago. Thirty years ago it was possible for destructive critics to maintain, with a considerable chow of reason, that the four gospels were not the product of the first century, but of the latter part of the second, and so were not what we should call genuine documents. It was maintained, for ex ample, with great show of learning, that the- fourth gospel was not in existence until after the time of Justine Martyr, while it was contended, and almost universally accepted by German critics, that Tatlan's Diatessaron was probably th« original I source from which the gospel" were derived. But Providence had prepared the way for a. eignal anil complete discomfiture of the destructive critics. Ephraem Syr us was known to have written a com mentary upon the Diutessaron. tut both It and the Dlatessaron Itself had disappeared for many centu ries. About thirty years ago, however, Ephraem s commentary was found in an Armenian monastery in Venice, and soon after two copies of the Dlates earon, in Arabic, were brought to light. These demonstrated that the Diatessaron prepared before the middle of the second century was merely a harmony of the gospels, showing that the ppspels themselves must have been in existence in the lat ter part of the first century. These discoveries and pome others compelled even Harnack to surrender and declare that the tradi tional dates given to the early Christian literature were substantially correct. And now more recently he has become a defender of tae Lucan authorship Of the third gospel and of the Book of Acts. Un fortunately, Harnack's earlier writings were trans lated into English, and multitudes are reading those old views of his unaware of hi* recent change of opinion. The opponents of the historical character of the four gospels have now nothing to go upon but the barest conjecture, and the more they mag nify the credulity of the age in which the gospels originated the more they render It impossible to belleva that ilia picture of Christ painted in the New Testament could have been produced in any Other way than by ail actual life. Coming to tha Old Testament, the wonderful ways of Providence In guarding the truth have been dis played so recently that the effects are by no means fully manifest. But the destructive critics of the Old Testament have now touched bottom. The tide has gone out to .its lowest ebl>, while a wonderful array of recent discoveries has come to light con- Qrmlng the Old Testament -history. It may be true it at the destructive critics hay« by no means surrendered. Th«y still have possession of many of our most important seats of learning and control periodicals of great influence. But a calm consid eration of tho field shows clearly they will be com pelled to surrender. Their fancies and specula tions cannot resist the batteries of truth that are now pouring in upon them. And finally, science comes in with its powerful circumstantial evidence to confirm a large number of the plain' historical statements of the Old Testa ment which had been the object of the gibes and ridicule of unbelievers. The seven years of famine and plenty are far more credible events than they formerly were since wo know the conditions sur rounding the sources of the Nile In Central Africa. The crossing of the Red Sea Is Been to have been easily prepared Tor by the ■'strong east wind." Which, according to the Bible, opened the waters before the children of Israel. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the crossing of the Jordan under Joshua and the destruction of Jericho are rendered eaFily credible by scientific study of the geological conditions in the Valley of the Jordan. Even the flood has come to tlnd a natural place amid the startling events that Reologlsts row know to have taken place m connection with the glacial period. JERSEY'S Y. P. S. C. E. CONVENTION.
