“THERE SHALL COME IN THE LAST DAYS SCOFFERS.”
ONE [Ingersoll] was here in Chicago the other day, and one of our large theaters was filled to overflowing to hear him at fifty cents admission. Fifty thousand copies of his lecture—which, to use a mild expression, was indecent from one end to the other—were sold in a few days. It did not contain the shadow of an argument, and hardly the semblance of a truth, and it is a sad indication of the times in which we are living that such a lecturer can be thus honored. If the veritable “last days” produce any worse scoffing than this, we pity those who live at that time. Meantime, the fact that such a scoffer is thus fondly received will remind some of the words of our Lord, “Be ye also ready.”—Faith’s Record.
