INFIDELITY ANSWERED
T. DeWitt Talmage
Eph. 4:18

the Christian religion is a huge blunder; that the
Mosaic account of the creation is an absurdity large
enough to throw all nations into rollicking guffaw;
that Adam and Eve never existed; that the ancient
flood and Noah's ark were impossibilities; that there

of the Constitution and the great lawyer of his age,
turned into an idiot when he said, "My heart assures
and reassures me that the Gospel of Jesus Christ must
be a divine reality. From the time that at my mother's

into my mind an early love of the Scriptures;" and
