He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat. But though moderns deny the existence of sin, I do not think that they have yet denied the existence of a lunatic asylum.
"I am convinced the decision will be perfectly satisfactory to us; in fact, that it commands the departure of these actors from our city." "Have you no doubts? Do you not fear that the king, in his hatred for the theologians, and his admiration for these comedians, may decide in their favor rather than in ours?" "Dear friend, such a doubt would be unworthy the dignity of our position.
"Your excellency, the king has made use of some expressions that I cannot bring my lips to utter." "The king is our master; we must hear what he has to say in all humility."

Our Heavenly Father has never set "metes and bounds" to the souls of his earth children; there is no hidden mystery that cannot be fathomed by them; there is no knowledge withheld from the earnest seeker after truth.
