Criticism of Selective Bible Acceptance Condemned

The Boston “Journal” of some time ago tells of a sermon preached in the Old South Meeting-house by the Rev. Charles W. Casson in which he is quoted as saying, “I accept the Bible as you would a fish, picking out the bones before swallowing it, and I agree with it when it agrees with me.” We need not quote further; for this is the end of higher criticism always. It ends by man's becoming his own standard, his own saviour; and the record of the ages is that he has made mighty poor work of either.
