Christian Register, The, Boston and Chicago, Saturday, October 25, 1873

Boston, MA: Christian Register Association, 1873. 54 x 70 cm. "The Power of the Old"" by Rev. James T. Bixby notes how those things that seem the newest are but the old. New ideas (1873) of Communism and Women's Rights Movements-- Chinese tried Communism in the 11th century, and Aristophanes satirized the folly of women's rights in Athens, long before the Christian era. ""Papal Infallibility""--""The declaration of the infallibility of the Bishop of Rome is the desparate attempt of men alarmed by the terrible doubts and denials of the age to provide a sure refuge for those who would believe."" ""Revivalists"" --H.W. Beecher in his Yale Lectures delivers a blistering picture of these men with immense bellies and immense chests and big under-heads....""I do not believe you could preach to the boatmen and gamblers of Arkansas, and to all the riffraff of the community, those who really live down in the cellar of their heads, unless you brought the motive of fear to bear upon them."" Writing in this newspaper is as tart and alert, educated with a good sense of humor, that one can observe even after all these years. Newspaper, small holes in folds, good. . Catalogs: Religious/Anti-Catholic .
