Excerpt from Apostolic Test of the Preaching Which God Has Ordained: A Sermon, at the Ordination of Mr. Henry Fairbanks, and Mr. Henry A. Hazen, at St. Johnsbury, Vt., Feb. 17, 1858Of: intellectual culture, no increase of light from the works of nature, no illumination of the nat ural understanding, even from the letter of a super natural revelation, will avail to bring him to the knowledge Of God. Increase the light from all these sources a thousand fold, and his wisdom will pervert and reject it, or at least resist it. Work miracles before his eyes, and he will sooner ascribe them to some undeveloped force in nature, than cordially accept the Being who is above nature. Reveal truth with all the self-evidencing power that can accompany it, and it has no evidence to a mind blinded by its own wisdom. The world will not know God so long as it can prevent it, and it can prevent it, so long as intelligence is the only Obstacle.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
