It was a condescension to men's weakness and obstinacy when He said, 'If ye believe not Me, believe the works. But the works were signs, symbols, manifestations on the lower material platform of what lie would be and do for men in the higher, and they were the outcome of His own loving heart and ever-flowing compassion, and only secondarily were they taken, and have they ever been taken, when Christian faith has been robust and intelligent, as being evidences of His Messiahship and Divinity.
To sum up, we ask of you two things, writers and thinkers of America.

In brief, we may regard the whole body as consisting of countless groups of little islands surrounded by ever-flowing streams of blood.

To look at him you would have supposed that he was the most ordinary of common-place men, but if you had known him, as we did, you would have discovered that there was a deep, silent, but ever-flowing river of enthusiasm, energy, fervour in a word, romance in his soul, which seldom or never manifested itself in words, and only now and then, on rare occasions, flashed out in a lightning glance, or blazed up in a fiery countenance.
