A question of deepest importance to all Christians at the present moment has been raised by statements made recently in Lectures delivered by the Rev. J. M. Wilson. The groundless assumptions contained in these Lectures, and the freehanded and deliberate way, in which the faith of ages which has produced such mighty results in the past history of Christianity and of the world, has been dismissed — to make way for modern and ill supported ones on the Inspiration of the Scripture — theories which successively melt away before the inroads of unbelief has given great pain to many minds. These Lectures appear like dismantling and undermining the fortifications of Christianity, and this by one of its professed friends, in order to conciliate its enemies, who are only too ready to take advantage of such a mistake; whilst weak minds are disturbed, and the wavering induced to conclude, seeing the main prop and stay of Christianity surrendered, that it cannot be maintained in its integrity against all attacks. The warning “Equo ne credite,” given to the Trojans when, unconscious of their danger, they introduced into the citadel the Grecian horse filled with armed foes, may well be repeated here. The object of these pages is to show how dangerous in their nature, and how futile and unwarrantable, are these concessions to the infidel, and that Christians may be on their guard against receiving them, as well as that they may understand, how firm is the foundation which the Word of God affords, as the basis of faith.
