Excerpt from Towers, Bulwarks, Strong Places Professor Fisher, of Yale, in the volume entitled The Reformation (serib ners, New York). The time seems to have arrived when some judicious means should be devised for imparting to the young, in the course of home or school education, such of the general results as are suited to them, of modern research and scholarship, in regard to the dates, authorship, composition and contents, of the several books of the Old and New Testaments. There is, in these days, an extra ordinary malignity exhibited against Christianity in season and out of season; and a great use is made of these results, or supposed results, by pre senting them in a distorted and often caricatured form, to the minds of the young and others, who are wholly incapable of judging aright on any such matters from an absolute lack of knowledge on the subject, the objectors themselves at the same time usually making it pretty evident that they too understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm, being for the most part under wrong impressions, derived from fallacious sources, of what Christianity really is and as to what was the original import and drift of the several books, looked at independently, of the Old and New Testa ments. It were surely better that such of the general results of modern research and scholarship in this department of science, as are suited to capacities yet immature, should come before the minds of our youth from the lips of adequately informed, friendly instructors, than from the lips of such persons as these or from the pages of books written by such persons as these. In the religious training of the young it seems quite improper now, and unfair, to wholly ignore the peril which is threatened from the quarter alluded to.
