Excerpt from The American Republic and Human Liberty Foreshadowed in ScriptureThis tendency of the age has been the cause of great alarm to some of the dwellers upon the watch towers of Zion. To us it is one of the most hopeful signs of the times. It is evidence that mankind are thinking for themselves, that the world is pro gressing, and it is a certain prelude and pledge of the destruction Of those systems of error which originated in times Of superstition and ignorance, and which have always dreaded the light, and shunned investigation. An overgrown credulity, which receives the immaculate conception and coat Of Treves as truths not to be questioned or doubted, is as much to be dreaded as that unbelief which calls in question revealed truth. Truth never loses by investigation, but, on the other hand, it always gains immensely. It is not true that it is the creature Ofo'time, it is the daughter of eternity, and, like its Divine Author, is imperishable.Truth crushed to earth will rise again, The eternal years of God are hers.Human progress does not consist in the acquisition Of new faculties Of mind, but in the perception and application of truth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
