It is on the internal investigation of the Gospels that the real issue lies.

And this is one main reason why the belief of mankind so little depends upon formal apologetics.

We can all feel the self- evidential force of the Gospel story; but who shall present it adequately in words?
We are reminded of the fate of him who thought the ark of God was falling and put out his hand to steady it--and, for his profanity, died.

It can hardly be said that good intentions would be a sufficient justification, because that a man should think himself fit for the task would be in itself almost a sufficient sign that he was mistaken.

It is not indeed quite incredible that the qualifications should one day be found.
