11. It is possible for a man to be a Christian, and be a good man.

12. It is possible for a man to be a Christian, and be a broad, kind,

tender man.

13. It is possible for a man to be a Christian, and have wider and more

splendid views than any other man.

And Colonel Ingersoll says he knows all this to be so. Now what shall we

think of the utterances of lesser lights in infidelity since we have the

living fact before us that Christianity is in perfect harmony with the

very highest education; with the widest and most splendid views; with

honesty every way; with greatness; with goodness; with integrity; with

honor; with kindness and tenderness; with the great luminous principle

that a man must give to every other man every right that he claims for

himself? And it is also in perfect harmony with a great and _liberal

heart_.

We have hope that Colonel Ingersoll will yet find his way into the

temple of truth, which reveals the glory and grandeur of the perfect

harmony that exists between Christianity and all that is truly great and

good--since he has pronounced the word "Eureka."
