WITHOUT EXCUSE

REUBEN POGSON.

A man , known amongst reformers in England for his broad ideals and earnest efforts for the sake of humanity, wrote some years ago in a reformers' paper to the effect that the story of Jesus Christ was "a beautiful myth." A few years before this I had thought so too, but the unhappy experience of two or three years in the charnel-house of materialistic skepticism, together with the loving efforts of Christian relatives and friends, had lifted me to a plane which Tennyson describes in "In Memoriam,"—

Strong Son of God, Immortal Love,
Whom we that have not seen thy face
By faith and faith alone embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove.
