Religion Indeed Enlightens, Terrifies, Subdues; It Gives

The Heart Is Commonly Reached, Not Through The Reason, But Through The Imagination, By Means Of Direct Impressions, By The Testimony Of Facts And Events, By History, By Description. Persons Influence Us, Voices Melt Us, Looks Subdue Us, Deeds Inflame Us. Many A Man Will Live And Die Upon A Dogma; No Man Will Be A Martyr For A Conclusion.

After The Fever Of Life--after Wearinesses, Sicknesses, Fightings And Despondings, Languor And Fretfulness, Struggling And Failing, Struggling And Succeeding--after All The Changes And Chances Of This Troubled And Unhealthy State, At Length Comes Death--at Length The White Throne Of God--at Length The Beatific Vision.

You Must Be Patient, You Must Wait For The Eye Of The Soul To Be Formed In You. Religious Truth Is Reached, Not By Reasoning, But By An Inward Perception. Anyone Can Reason; Only Disciplined, Educated, Formed Minds Can Perceive.

Good Is Never Accomplished Except At The Cost Of Those Who Do It, Truth Never Breaks Through Except Through The Sacrifice Of Those Who Spread It.

Literature Stands Related To Man As Science Stands To Nature; It Is His History.
