We Say Then, That Christianity Is Adapted

Whatever Capacities There May Be For Enjoyment Or For Suffering In This Strange Being Of Ours, And God Only Knows What They Are, They Will Be Drawn Out Wholly In Accordance With Character.

Religion Without Morality Is A Superstition And A Curse, And Morality Without Religion Is Impossible.

To Be Energetic And Firm Where Principle Demands It, And Tolerant In All Else, Is Not Easy. It Is Not Easy To Abhor Wickedness, And Oppose It With Every Energy, And At The Same Time To Have The Meekness And Gentleness Of Christ, Becoming All Things To All Men For The Truth's Sake. The Energy Of Patience, The Most Godlike Of All, Is Not Easy.

Christianity Excludes Malignity, Subdues Selfishness, Regulates The Passions, Subordinates The Appetites, Quickens The Intellect, Exalts The Affections. It Promotes Industry, Honesty, Truth, Purity, Kindness. It Humbles The Proud, Exalts The Lowly, Upholds Law, Favors Liberty, Is Essential To It, And Would Unite Men In One Great Brotherhood. It Is The Breath Of Life To Social And Civil Well-being Here, And Spreads The Azure Of That Heaven Into Whose Unfathomed Depths The Eye If Faith Loves To Look.

The Essential Elements Of Giving Are Power And Love - Activity And Affection - And The Consciousness Of The Race Testifies That In The High And Appropriate Exercise Of These Is A Blessedness Greater Than Any Other.
