F Digitized by VjOOQIC 66 THE SONG OF DEBORAH these Scriptures, we cannot avoid the conclusion that whatever theory of Biblical inspiration we may in the end decide upon, it will have to admit that inspiration does not necessarily imply any escape from secular limitations of religious and ethical thought The time has long passed in which Christian scholars would adduce a passage from the Song of Deborah as proving the malignant influence of the planets. ** Sisera fought," said no less a divine ...than Jeremy Taylor, " when there was an evil aspect, or malignant influence of heaven upon him." ^ And, if we no longer find in this primitive literature any support for the pertinacious folly of the astrologers, so we refuse to accept the revolt- ing treachery of Jael as contributing any kind of justification for the cruel violence of Christian assassins. Deborah's benediction counts for nothing against the clear verdict of the conscience on treachery and on assassination. If you ask me, as you are certainly entitled to ask, what in my own belief constitutes the "inspiration" of such Scriptures as those, which the Church, in her wisdom, has appointed for our edification to-day, I confess to you that I do not see my way to a satisfactory answer.
