Synopsis

Excerpt from Mistakes of Ingersoll: As Shown by Prof. Swing, J. Monro Gibson, D. D., W. H. Ryder, D. D., Rabbi Wise, Brooke Herford, D. D., And Others A religious faith at present so generally pervades the civilized world that it seems almost amazing that any one should dare speak as Mr. Ingersoll does in his several lectures about the Bible. It is this singularity, no doubt, rather than intrinsic worth, which gives any significance that may attach to his words. That the Bible is in the least endangered is out of the question. It is too late now for that. The words herein compiled from good and able men, who have made the great Book, in its early language, import and history, a careful study for long years, will show how futile are Mr. Ingersoll's efforts in parading what he calls the "Mistakes of Moses," etc. Indeed, it would seem that, possibly Mr. I. is guilty of a mistaken identity, for he is severely accused of false assertions and misrepresentations concerning the real Moses. This reminds us of a "mistake" which was made on a certain occasion by the celebrated Archbishop of Dublin, the gifted author of the work so widely known, entitled "The Study of Words." He was not in robust health at the time, and for many years had been apprehensive of paralysis. At a dinner in Dublin, given by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, his grace sat on the right of his hostess, the Dutchess of Abercorn.

Archbishop rise from his seat, and still more startled to hear him exclaim in a dismal and sepulchral tone, It has come! It has come!

What has come, your Grace? Eagerly cried half a dozen voices from different parts of the table.

What I have been expecting for twenty years, solemnly answered the archbishop a stroke of paralysis. I have been pinching myself for the last twenty minutes, and find myself entirely without sensation.
