The very 'book of books, to which they so boldly appeal, is conclusive against them. In its pages they stand convicted of idolatry. Without doubt a God is revealed by revelation; but not their God; not a supernatural Being, infinite in power, in wisdom, and in goodness.
Amen. But he that shall contemn this grace, confronts the highest wisdom, even wisdom upon the throne; he saith to himself, I am wiser than Daniel, than the judgment of God. I could have found out a more safe way to heaven myself; and had I been of God's council, I would have told him so.
That this is so can hardly be comprehended by a natural idea, because in such there is space, but by a spiritual idea, such as angels have, it can be comprehended, because in such there is no space. As this has been proved by means of the heavens and the angels, it may seem a matter of too exalted wisdom; but the same is true of men.
Whatever the soul has mastered in a previous life manifests in the present. The memory of particular events is not so important.

"In the election of a Judge, the standard of measurement of the conscientious voter should be one of fitness only. "Shall not the Judge do right? And how can he do right if he is a crook? "Shall not the Judge interpret the law with wisdom and understanding? And how can he do that if he is a fool? "Shall not the Judge be free?
This globe of the earth is a habitable world; and on its fitness for this purpose, our sense of wisdom in its formation must depend. To judge of this point, we must keep in view, not only the end, but the means also by which that end is obtained.
Purity of blood is not a thing to boast of, and no great and progressive nation comes from one breed of men.
