Excerpt from The Difficulties of the Soul: Or Hindrances to Believing With respect to the other object, I can only say that I have written with the deepest feeling of sympathy for those whose case I contemplate. Yet, with a strong and sorrowful conviction of the reality of many of the difficulties to which I refer, I have also an inward persuasion, that however grave these may seem, none of them are insur mountable; but that, like the clouds which seem to line the horizon with vast mountain barriers, they only need to be resolutely approached in order to be dispersed into empty nothingness.
