To whom shall I go? Where in all the world shall I find a more excellent way than that of faith in Jesus? Where is the personal friend who will supply His place?"

75.
If men can be persuaded to cast aside the unscientific contention for natural immortality, with its inference of everlasting misery as 'the curse of the law,’ and to adopt the simplest sense of Scripture language on life and death, —the coherent evangelical system, as taught by the apostles and prophets, becomes again defensible, victorious, intelligible, and self-consistent

So far as the rule of State government in criminal law proceeds on the refusal to contemplate 'righteous vengeance’ (for blind vindictiveness none would advocate), this has been caused in part perhaps by the conjunction of the Church with the State, through which evangelical rules of conduct have been erroneously assumed as proper maxims of government by law
81.
If that arm is paralyzed at the shoulder, whence will come the force by which blows shall be struck at the ends of the earth? A decline of the spiritual life, therefore, in England, a decay of faith in things unseen, a loss of spiritual power through the advance of luxurious habits, would necessarily take the form first of a loss of interest in the unseen field of foreign missions—soon to be followed by a similar decay of interest in the evangelical work at home
