The Mightiest Argument.

Among the trite sayings of the L. A. W. Bulletin is, "The man who knows he is right doesn't have to get mad." And another old saying is to the effect that he can afford to be fair. The disposition one manifests is generally, tho not always, an indication of the righteousness of the cause which he is arguing or pleading. Sometimes a Christian will get out of patience with an infidel, the very worst possible thing he could do; but this does not prove Christianity to be false; rather it proves that the professed Christian does not know how to use its strongest weapon, the Christlike spirit and character manifest even toward the enemies of Christ. The theory of Christianity is mighty and powerful as compared with all its opposers, but its life, the power to change men's characters and dispositions, is more than all else.
