Excerpt from Thoughts on Revelation, With Special Reference to the Present Time Nothing can contribute more to this desirable result, than increased simplicity and decision in taking that high ground, on the subject of faith, which we see the Apostle taking with the Galatians. Nor can we, standing on any lower ground, put forth the real strength of Christianity in its conflict with superstition and infidelity: while there are multitudes in whom a certain amount of superstition and infidelity are present only as alloys in a real Christianity, from which they may be delivered, by being forced to realize and rest only in that in their religion, which belongs to them as children of the light and of the day. To descend here to ground lower than that which the Apostle takes is, in truth, to cease to be God's witnesses for witnesses must speak what they know.
