578. INSPIRATION: “Inspiration was said by the old Rabbins, to be of seven degrees. Between their time and ours a gradual narrowing and hardening of the idea conveyed by the term has been going, and especially in the last two centuries, under the peculiarly matter of fact spirit of English divinity, till it has now assumed the sharpest form as the doctrine of Infallible Inspiration.' The Archbishop and Bishops of the National Church, in addressing their protest to Bishop Colenso in 1863, do not hesitate to say that all our hopes for eternity, the very foundation of our faith, our nearest and dearest consolations, are taken from us if one line of that Sacred Book be declared unfaithful or untrustworthy.' Slight shades of difference exist,-the Low Church go to the extreme point, and declare belief in verbal inspiration, every word, every letter, every grammatical construction in the Bible, they maintain to be absolutely perfect. The High Church generally content themselves with the theory of Plenary Inspiration, and leave a little room for possible flaws in numbers, or other wholly unimportant matters.'

"The profoundest consciousness of the human heart bears testimony to the Divine Light which gleams out from the Bible." Broken Lights, 107.-" He gives them Inspiration,' but he does not render them Infallible. The Grace which should make the recipient impeccable, and the Inspiration which should make him infallible, would equally remove him out of the sphere of our sympathy and our comprehension. As we should admire no virtue in a man who could not sin, so we should admire no wisdom in a man who could not mistake."

And if the unluckly malefactor who in mere bru tality of ignorance or narrowness of nature or of culture, has wronged his neighbor, excite our anger, how much deeper should be our indignation when intellect and eloquence are abused to selfish purposes, when studious leisure and learning and thought, turn traitors to the cause of human well-being, and the wells of a nation's moral life are poisoned?"

582. INTEMPERANCE: "The intemperance of poets is but too painfully illustrated in the lives of Parnell, and Otway, Sheffield, Savage, Churchill, Prior, Dryden, Cowley, Burns, Coleridge, Lamb, and others. There is nothing more painful in Burns' letters, than those in which he confesses his contrition after his drunken bouts, and vows of amendment for the future. . . Lamb was also a great smoker at one period of his life; but he determined to give it up, as he found it led to drinking-to drinking egg-flip hot, at the salutation ;' returning to it again, but finally abandoning it. In a so he wrote his Farewell to Tobacco,' and gave it up

evening comfort and my morning curse for these five letter to Wordsworth, he said, 'Tobacco has been my years; and you know how difficult it is from refraining to pick one's lips even, when it has become a habit.'

He is treated from that instant as a man who has done some infernal action. He is a man to be shirked, put off, brow-beaten, sneered at, handed over by this highly-connected young or old gentleman, to that highly-connected old or young gentleman, and dodged back again; he is a man with no rights in his own time, or his own property; a mere outlaw, whom it is justifiable to get rid of any how; a man to be worn out by all possible means." Little Dorrit, Bk. I, chap. 10.- "They who invented letters, arithmetical symbols, gun-powder, the printing-press, the telescope, the steam-engine and the telegraph, only ploughed in the commons of the field of human possibility and showed its bounds were not where they had been supposed."

599. JERKS.—At religious meetings in Kentucky and Tennessee: "The rolling exercise consisted in being cast down in a violent manner, doubled with the head and feet together, or stretched in a prostrate manner, turning swiftly over like a dog. Nothing in nature could better represent the jerks, than for one to goad alternately on every side with a piece of red-hot iron. The exercise commonly began in the head, which would fly backwards and forwards, and from side to side, with a quick jolt, which the person would naturally labor to suppress, but in vain." Liv. Age, xiv, 84, et seq.-The following sketch is from Dow's Journal: In the year 1805 I preached at Knoxville, Tenn., before the governor, when some hundred and fifty persons, among whom were a number of Quakers, had the jerks. I have seen all denominations of religion exercised by the jerks, gentleman and lady, black and white, old and young, without exception. passed a meeting-house, where I observed the undergrowth had been cut away for camp-meetings, and from fifty to a hundred saplings were left breast-high, on purpose for the people who were jerked to hold by. I observed where they had held on, they had kicked up the earth, as a horse stamping flies."
