Excerpt from Temperance Essays, and Selections From Different Authors M O T T O E S (from the English Edition of Dr. No'r'n's Work, Arc.) Bias, by importing its own foregone conclusions into the Word of Scrip ture, and by refusing to see, or to acknowledge, what makes against its own prejudices, has proved the greatest known hindrance to all fair interpreta tion, and has tended; more than anything else in the world, to check the free course of Divine truth.
