In Dr. Brown's work on the resurrection, their is a beautiful parable from Halley. The story is of a servant, who, receiving a silver cup from his master, suffers it to fall into a vessel of aquafortis, and, seeing it disappear, contends in argument with a fellow servant that its recovery is impossible, until the master comes on the scene, and infuses salt water, which precipitates the silver from the solution; and then, by melting and hammering the metal, he restores it to its original shape. With this incident a sceptic — one of whose great stumbling blocks was the resurrection — was so struck, that he ultimately renounced his opposition to the gospel, and became a partaker of the Christian hope of immortality.

(S. S. Teacher.)
