JESUS

By

Whether
Jesus

of

ever
existed
is
the
question
we

briefly
to
examine
and

limited
we

this
and
no
other
It
is
necessarj
to
bo
very
particular
upon
this
point
for
there
have
been
many
Saviours
both
before
His
reputed
time
and
since
Saviours
to
right
of
us
Sav
ours
to
left
of
us
Saviours
all
round
us
as
one
might
say
And
although
the
same
claims
are
made
for
there
all
Christians
would
huve
us
believe
that
their
Jesus
only
is
genuine
and
the
others
are
spurious
Well
in
our
mustardandcress
days
we
were
wont
to
hold
the
samo
opinion
and
it
will
be
our
duty
to
give
a
few
reasons
why
we
renounced
it
We
found
1
we
had
been
bam
-
boozled
into
believing
by
faith
in
-
stead
of
by
facts

That
contem
porary
history
had
nothing
to
say
about
this
mythical
personage

The
Christians
had
done
their
best
tc

this
misfortune
by
forg

missing
testimony

That
no
evidence
was
forthcoming
that
any
such
persons
as

that

ADs
tlieic
oui
have
ex
isted
ample
records
of
them
in
the
historical
accounts
of

period
and
we
looked
upon
this
solemn
si
-
lence
on
the
part
of
every
contem
porary
writer
as
conclusive
testi
-
mony
in
confutation
of
the
Christian
legendWe
We
reflected
also
that
one
little
grain
of
evidence
traceable
to
the
ilrst
half
of
tho
first
century
would
have
been
of
greater
value
than
whole
granaries

assertions

in
the
latter
half
of

Then
there
was
presented
to
us
the
fact
recorded
by
Gibbon
that
in

Christianity
was

observed
likewise
that
H
both
parties
Christian
Ian
and

seemed
to
ac
knowledge
the
truth
of
those
miracles
which
were
claimed
by
their

while
they
were
con

to
ascribing
them

in

These
truths

read

many
others
and
they
burst
upon
us
like
a

But
the
facts
were
too
strong
and
forced
upon
us
the
conclusion

that
we
have
been

There
