Faith, Then, Generically, Is Confidence In A Personal Being. Specifically, Religious Faith Is Confidence In God, In Every Respect And Office In Which He Reveals Himself. As That Love Of Which God Is The Object Is Religious Love, So That Confidence In Him As A Father, A Moral Governor, A Redeemer, A Sanctifier, In All The Modes Of His Manifestation, By Which We Believe Whatever He Says Because He Says It, And Commit Ourselves And All Our Interests Cheerfully And Entirely Into His Hands, Is Religious Faith.

Nothing But The Cross Of Christ Can So Startle The Spiritual Nature From Its Torpor, As To Make It An Effectual Counterpoise To The Debasing And Sensual Tendencies Of The Race. Favored By Temperament And Education, Individuals May Measurably Escape; But If The Race Is To Triumph In The Conflict Between The Flesh And The Spirit, Between The Lower Propensities And The Higher Nature, They Must, As Constantine Is Said To Have Done, See The Cross, And On It The Motto, "in Hoc Signo Vinces." By This Sign We Conquer.

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.
