Rico's Return

That which is said against the Bible will travel ten times faster and go a great ways further than that which is said in its favor. The secular newspaper press of the country is largely responsible for this. As a class, the managers of our great dailies are either in sympathy with skepticism, or they think that which is said against the Bible is more legitimate news than that which is said in its behalf. Hence, the preacher who seeks to undermine the Old Faith, stands a far better chance of being reported, and having his sermons printed, than one who is loyal to the Word of God, Just now a great deal is being said by these papers favorably to the Higher Criticism, They publish little or nothing on the other side; and frequently charge those who write and speak against the Higher Criticism with indulging in personalities, as though all courtesy and politeness belonged to the Higher Critics, in this discussion. There are religious papers of pronounced unorthodox views, and also some with liberalistic tendencies, to which the same criticism may be justly applied. Then many of the so-called Higher Critics are zealous and noisy, and are pushing their opinions and views into notice on all possible occasions.
