I should agree with the writers in certain things, but certainly not in all.

I have no sort of sympathy with what is called 'rationalism,' which is positivism in a form.

The vulgar idea of miracles being put into solution, leaves you with the higher law and spiritual causation; which the rationalists deny, and which you and I hold faithfully.

But whatever one holds, free discussion has become necessary.

That it is full of danger; that, in consequence of it, many minds will fall into infidelity, doubt, and despair, is certain; but through this moral crisis men must pass, or the end will be worse still.
