The Holy Scripture Is Like A Diamond: In The Dark It Is Like A Piece Of Glass, But As Soon As The Light Strikes It The Water Begins To Sparkle, And The Scintillation Of Life Greets Us.

Genius Is A Sovereign Power; It Forms Schools; It Lays Hold On The Spirits Of Men, With Irresistible Might; And It Exercises An Immeasurable Influence On The Whole Condition Of Human Life. This Sovereignty Of Genius Is A Gift Of God, Possessed Only By His Grace. It Is Subject To No One And Is Responsible To Him Alone Who Has Granted It This Ascendancy.
