"CREDENDA."
(To the Editor of the Kvening Star.)
Sib,—The letter of "Credenda," of Nov. Ist, I can easily answer if you will give me space in your journal. It is an old adage which says, " A fool can ask questions a wise man may find a difficulty to answer." " Credenda " has asked no less than 15 questions, but they are all easily answered by anyone who knows; but the answers require space, and you, sir, cannot spare that space, so I shall only notice one matter. "Credenda" says, " The lecturer upon the great religions of the world has demon-strated that a highly civilised nation existed on this earth 13,000 years ago," but the worst of it is that demons are always liars. The father of them, the Bible tells us, was a liar from the beginning, and so are all his followers, black, white, and grey; they have ever been so, and ever will be so to the end of the present order of thingsarrant frauds. From the demonstration of the lecturer " Credenda " professes to draw his conclusions that the human family could not have descended from one man and one woman 6000 years ago ; he therefore, believes the father of lies and his demons in preference to the Deity's word of inspiration, the predictions of which have hitherto been fulfilled to the letter, thus proving beyond a doubt the Bible to be of Divine origin and truthful. Its fulfilled predictions fixes me thoroughly; there is no controverting fulfilled predictions, and even the very demoDS themselves tremble for the fulfilment of what is written in the Bible concerning them in these last days; they know it. Fools may believe in the idealistic delusion now being so insiduously and perseveringly instilled into the human mind by demon spirits all over the earth, but a wise man or woman believes the writings of prophets and apostles to be the word of the Deity to his human family, and such give heed to it.—l am, &c, William Wood.
