Death of Dr. Robert Patterson.
By Editor
DR. PATTERSON, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of East Oakland, died in this city Jan. 17. He was a man of more than ordinary ability, both as a speaker and a writer. His series of tracts compiled into a book of 300 pages, entitled: “Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith,” is worthy of more attention than it has generally received. It is replete with telling arguments showing up the fallacies of infidelity in a logical and forcible manner. We can cordially recommend it to readers of all classes. Though we could not agree with every sentence in it (and it would be surprising if we could), we believe there is no better book to put into the hands of the young who are troubled over the pretended “deductions of science,” than this of Dr. Patterson.
