Some have already split upon the rocks of Atheism!

(William Nicholson, 1862)

Never was there a time like the present, when Atheism and Infidelity appeared so determined, if possible, to annihilate the Christian religion! Behold their attempts. In schools and books, there is an incessant attempt to instill into the minds of the young, principles inimical to Christianity, as well as to draw professors from their steadfastness. Some have already split upon the rocks of Atheism — some have stranded on the quicksands of Infidelity.

"Help, LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men!" Psalm 12:1
