MERCY’S APPEAL.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.
Oh, never wound a loving heart
By words unkindly spoken,
Or you may further rend apart
The links by sorrow broken.
And when their fragments all around,
In crumbling ruins lie,
No tone of kind and gentle sound
Can re-unite the tie.
Good, gentle, kind, and loving hearts,
Are fragile, brittle things;
One word of harshness often starts
Sad music from their strings;
And, oh, how oft do they vibrate
With such a fearful power,
As to destroy the hopes of years
■Within a single hour.
Then never cast an eye of scorn
On those poor souls of sin,
■Whose ignorance and bigotry
Have quench’d the light within;
For though their hearts are crusted o’er
With woe, and sin, and pride,
Yet can we win them by kind words,
Unto their Saviour’s side.

A N
EXAMINATION OF THE TESTIMONY
OF THE
FOUR EVA NaELISTS,
BY THE RULES OF EVIDENCE ADMINISTERED
IN COURTS OF JUSTICE.
BY SIMON GREENLEAF, LL. D.
§ 39. In the fifti'i place, as to coincidence
cf their testimon// with collateral and con
tempo/ urteous facte and circumstances. Af
ter a witness is dead, and his moral charac
ter is forgotten, we can ascertain ibonly by
a close inspection of his narrative, compar
ing its details with each other, and with co
teinporary accounts and collateral facts.—
This test is much more accurate than mayV
at first be supposed. Every event which,
actually transpires, has its appropriate rd
lai ion and place in the vast complication
circumstances, of which the’affairs of mtlTff
consist; it owes its origin events
which have preceded it, is intimately con
nected with all others which occur at the
same time and place, and often with those
of r.nrnte regions, and in its turn gives
birth to numberless others which succeed.
In all this almost inconceivable contexture,
and seeming discord, there is-perfect har
mony; and w hilethe fact, .which really hap
pened, tallies exactly with every other con
temporaneous incident, related' to it in the
remotest degree, It is pot possible for the
wit of man to invent a story, which, if close
ly compared with the actual occurrences of
the same time and place, may not be shown
to be false. II nee it is, that a false witness
will not willingly detail any cireuinstances
in which his testimony will be open to con
tradiction, nor multiply them where therg
is danger <>t his being detected by a com
parison of them with other accounts, equal
ly ciicuinstautial. He will rather deal in
general statements and broad assertions;
and if he finds it necessary for his purpose
to employ names and particular circu'm-'
stances in his story, h • will endeavor to in
vent such as shall be out of the reach of
all opposing proof; and will be the piffst
forward and minute in det. ils, where hg,
knows that any danger of contradiction ih
least to be apprehended. Therefore it is,
that variety and niintffeness of detail are
usually regarded as certirn tests of sinceri
ty, it the story, in the circumstances rela
ted, is of a nature capable of easy refuta
tion ts it were fills'.:,
§ 40. The difference, in the detail of cir
cumstances, between artful .ff false witness
es and those who testify the truth, is wor
thy of esp-cial observation. The former
are often copious and even profuse in their
statements, as far as these may have been
previously fabricated, and in relation to the
principal matter; but beyond this, all will
be reserved and meagre,' from the tear of
detection. Every lawyer knows bo.v light
ly tne evidence of a non mi-recordo witness
is esteemed. The testimony of false wit
nesses will not be uniform in its texture,
but will bo unequal, unnatural, and incon
sistent. Ou the contrary, in thp testimony
of true witnesses there is-a visile and
striking naturalness of manner, and an tin
affected readiness and copiousness in the
detail of circumstance, as flhc part
of the narrative as anotiyjr, and*pvidentlv
without the h ast regard either to the facil
ity or difficulty of verification <w detection.
It is easier, therefore, to make but the proof
of any fact, if proof it may be culled, by
suborning one or more false witnesses, to
testify directly to the matter in question,
than to procure an equal number to testify
falsely to such collateral and separate cir
cumstances as wili, wi(o ut greater danger
cf detection, lead to the same false result.
The increased number of wjwiesses to cir
cumstances, and the increased number of
the circumstances themselves, all tend to
increase the probability of detection if the
witnesses are false, because thereby the
points are multiplied in which their state
ments may be compared with each bther,
as well as with the truth itself'and in the
same proportion is increased the danger of
variance and inconsistency. Thus the force
vt circumstantial eiiJenca is iJumi to de
pend -m th number of particulars Involved
i.i the narrative; the difficulty of fabrica
ting them all, if false, and the gnat facility
of detection ; the nature of the circumstan
ces to be compared, and from which the
dates and other facts are to be collected ;
the intricacy us the comparison ; the num
ber >'f the intermediate steps i.i the process
of deduction ; and the circuity of the inves
tigation. The more largely the narrative
partakes of these characters, the further it
will be f und removed from all suspicion >f
Contrivance or design, and the more pro*
soundly the mind will repose on the cotivic
t. n of its truth.
§4l. The narratives of the sacred wri
ters. both Jewish atid Christian, abound in
tvtuples of this kind of evidence, the val
u- of which is hardly capable of being pr p
erly estimated. It does not, as has been
a ready remarked, amount to mathemati
cal de:n r.-trufun; u>r is this degree of
proof justly demaudable in any question of
mural conduct. In all human transactions
the highest degree of assurance to which
we can arrive, short of the evidence of «»ur
own senses, is that of pr-liability. The
most that can be asserted is, that the B.’.rra
tive is more likely to be true than false;
and it may be in the highest degree more
luely, but still be short of absolute mathe
t" atk.il oertu nty. Yet this very prwbabil
j y ybe so great as to sat sfy the mind
cf the m 'stem:. >us, and enforce the assent
of th? most reluctant and unbelieving. If
it : sst:c" .is illy satti-fies n-a« -ra 1 le men,
in —.’.•ters '"ordinary Vansa it is ail
which tlie greatest sceptic has a right to re
q > ; tor it is b.\ s-.,eh evidence al-one that
our rchts are determined, in the civil tri
buna's; and on ho other < rki*iice do they
F '■vw.. e'eu ;a caniul eases. Thus where
a house had been feloniously broken open
with a knife, the blade of which was bro
ken and left in the window, and the mutila
ted knife itself, the parts perfectly agreeing,
was found in the pocket of the accused, who
gave no satisfactory explanation of the fact,
no reasonable doubt remained of his partic
ipation in the crime. And where a murder
had been committed by shooting with a
pistol, and the prisoner was connected with
the transaction by proof that the wadding
of the pistol was part of a letter addressed
to him, the remainder of which was found
upon his person, no juror’s conscience could
have reproached him for assenting to the
verdict of condemnation. Yet the evidence,
in both cases, is but the evidence of circum
stances; amounting, it is true, :o the high
est degree of probability, but yet not utter
ly inconsistent with the innocence of the '
accused. The evidence which we have of
the great facts of the Bible history belongs
to this class, that is, it is moral evidence;
sufficient to satisfy any rational mind, by
carrying it to the highest degree of moral
certainty. If such evidence will justify the
taking away of human life or liberty, in the
one case, surely it ought to be deemed
sufficient to determine our faith in the oth
er.
§ 42. All that Christianity asks of men
on this subject, is, that they would be con
sistent with themselves; that they would
treat its evidences as they treat the evidence
j of other things: and that they would try
' | ar.d judge its actorsand witnesses, as they •
| deal with their fellow-men. when testifying
. I to human affairs and actions, in human tri
i btinals. Let the witnesses be compared
| with themselves, with each other, and with
/ snrrourwling facts arid circumstances; and
, ■ let their testimony be sifted, as if it were
■ given in a court of justice, on the side of the
■ adverse party, the witnesses being subject- '
led to a rigorous cross-examination. The ■
: result, it is confident]}*, believed, will be an
r undoubting conviction of their integrity,
I ability, and truth. In the course of such
• an examination, the undesigned coinciden
' cies will multiply upon us at every step in
our progress; the probability of the verfc-
j ity of the witnesses and of the reality of the |
| occurrences which they relate will increase, I
I until it acquires, for all practical
, tfie value and force of demonstration. **** j
i ? § 43. It should bo remembered, that I
very littU*>f the literature of their times;
arid comwFv has come.ifcn to us; and that !
sources ana tncffkis of corrob
orating and explaining their writings are
: limited. The contemporary
writings of art which have nwih
; ed us, been cw
| firm their aecuunts, to reconcile what was
apparently contradictory, and supply wffat
; seemed defective or imperfect. We ought
therefore to conclude, that if we had Vnore
of Xhe sgme light, all other sftnilar dtffieul-
' ties' alwT imperfections In-
Ideed they have been

§ 44. The essential marks of
between true, narratives of facts utftl the I
creations of fiction, have already been.ad- i
: vertedito. It nan here be added that these
attributes oliyjitjl are strikingly apparent
throughout tne gospel histories, qnd that
the absence of, all the/other# re
| marliable. 4 'hg writers allude, for exam
ple, to the foisting manners and
and to th * circumstances of the times and
of their Jntry, with thX utmost minute- i
uess of reference. And these references are i
never made, nor with "preface an 1*
multiplied unit heaped
on othei-, um- brought toother, as
■ ititnJmced by design; but thev are
sent tercd broad cast and every
■ put of tlib story, and s<iA>iineet themselves
■ with every incident related, .ftt to render
i the detection of falsehood inevitable. This
• minuteness, to", is not peculiar to anv one i
ot the historians, but is ggmmon to them i
f all. Though they wrodKt different peri-
■ ods, and without mutiW conc-fl-t, they all
, ' alike refer irfCble-.itally to the same state of
■ I affairq a»J tbc: same contemporary and
, collateral circumstances. Their testimony
in this view, stands on the same ground
with that of four witnesses, separably ex-
i amine I before diff-rent commissioners. t:p
. <sn the sanle interrogatories, aird all advert
i ing incidentally to the san}p'circumstances
as surrounding and accompanying the prin
cipal transaction, to whiehtalone their atten
tion is And- it is worthy of ob
servation that these circumstances were at
I" that time of a pecu&xr character. Hardly
a state or kingdom in the world ever expe-
i ribneed »>> many vicissitudes in its govern
, m.-iit and political relajtidhs, as did Juden.
• during the period of the gospel history. It

lierod the Great, \jf Archvlaus, and of a
Roman inagistr.-u?**4t was a kingdom, a
tetrarehrtte, and a

were all involved in the contusion and un-'

ceiit eonqtpsl. It would be difficult to se
lect any place or period in the history of
nations, fm the time and scene of a fictitious
history or an imposture, wliic’i would com

As a specimen of the argument, let us . :.-
fine our observations to the history of our
Saviour's trial, and execution, and burt.ii.
They brought him to Pontius Pilate, We
know both tivm Tacitus and Josephus, that
he was at that time governor of Judea, A
sentence from him was necessarv before
they c<>uld pr.wed to the execution of Je
sus; and we kn'w that the p-.-wer of 11 feu
and death was usitally vv-t I in the Kom in *
g vc .-:: r. Out Saviour waa treated witfi
di r.s -n; and this we kn >w t • Live l>een a
с. practice at that time, previous
to the execution > f cr:uiit;.Rs, and during
the lime ol ,t. Pilate scourged Jesus be-
~LI Ll -1 ■■ -I. ——
fore he gave him tip to be crucified. We
know from ancient authors, that this was a
v’ery usual practice among the Romans.—
The accounts of an execution generally run
in this form: he was stripped, whipped, and
beheaded or executed. According to the
evangelists, his accusation was written on
the top of the cross; and we learn from
Suetonius and others, that the crime of the
person to be executed was affixed to the in
strument of his punishment. According to
the evangelists, this accusation was written
in three different languages; and we know
from Josephus that it was quite common in
Jerusalem to have all public advertisements
written in this manner. According to the
evangelists, Jesus had to bear his cross ;
and we know from other sources of infor
mation, that this was the constant practice
iof these times. According to the evange
'j lists, the body of Jesus was given up to be
buried at the request of friends. We know
that, unless the criminal was infamous,this
was the law or the custom with all Roman
governors.”
