Remove From The History Of The Past All Those Actions Which Have Either Sprung Directly From The Religious Nature Of Man, Or Been Modified By It, And You Have The History Of Another World And Of Another Race.

Certainly, No Revolution That Has Ever Taken Place In Society Can Be Compared To That Which Has Been Produced By The Words Of Jesus Christ.

Man Has Wants Deeper Than Can Be Supplied By Wealth Or Nature Or Domestic Affections. His Great Relations Are To His God And To Eternity.

The Intelligence And Power Of The Race Are With Those Who Have Embraced It; And Now, If This, Instead Of Proving Indeed A Pillar Of Fire From God, Should Be Found But A Delusive Meteor, Then Nothing Will Be Left To The Race But To Go Back To A Darkness That May Be Felt, And To A Worse Than Egyptian Bondage.
