AK HONEST DOUBTER. The writer, who has the sincere#! sym pathy for honest doubters, would strongly ” recommend that, on the chance of there being some truth in Scripture, the reader should take some such step as using the following lines (at least once every day), which are based on the prayer of a soldier before entering into battle, “ O God, if ■j there fee a God, have mercy upon my soul, - if T have a soul”: I, O God, if God there be, , And I've offended Thee, Jh mercy look on me. it.
