The Christian-Evangelist suggests the propriety of a parliament of the religious press of the country, for the purpose of discussing some "very vital questions." The last of a series of such vital questions which it proposes is the following: "How Far May the Religious Newspaper Deal with Questions of Historical Biblical Criticism?" This is an easy one. It can be answered without any discussion. The religious newspaper may discuss these questions just as far as it has brains enough and information enough to discuss them correctly. You might as well raise the question, How far may the religious newspaper deal with questions relating to the history of baptism?
