SUNDAY LECTURES.
To the Editor of the Globe . Sib, —What with Mr Chalet’s weak lecture last Sunday on “ The Mistakes of Moses,” and the enunciations of Professor Proctor, the * public mind is being somewhat exercised just now in regard to matters affecting serious questions. The following extract from an address of the celebrated Mr Froude to the University of St. Andrew’s, may not be considered out of place if re-produced just now, and needs no comment: — "To represent man as sent into the world under a curse, as incurably wicked—wicked by the constitution of his flesh, and wicked by eternal decree—as doomed, unless exempted by special grace, which he cannot merit, or by any effort of his own obtain, to live in sin while he remains on earth, and to be eternally miserable when he leaves it—to represent him as born to keep the Commandments, yet as justly liable to everlasting punishment for breaking them—is alike repugnant to reason and to conscience, And turns existence into a hideous nightmare.” Yours, &c., W. P.
