FALSE ASSERTIONS.

1. "A cause needs not be prior to an effect."

2. "If the species of man had no beginning, it would not follow that
it had no cause."

3. "A cause may be cotemporary with the effect."

4. "An atheist must believe he was introduced into the world without

ABSURDITIES.

1. "A general mass of sensation consisting of various elements
borrowed from the past and the future."

2. "Since sensation is made up of past, present, and future, the
infant feeling for the moment only, the man recollecting what is
past and anticipating the future, and as the present sensation must
therefore in time bear a less proportion to the general mass of
sensation than it did, so at last all temporary affections, whether
of pain or pleasure become wholly inconsiderable."

3. "The great book of nature and the book of revelation both lie
open before us."
