The Soul Not Material
I cannot now find time to enter “minutely” into all your speculations — speculations they are, and ever must remain, so long as you have not a “Thus saith the Lord” attached to them. But, I would ask, is not…
Annihilation
Art thou in health, my friend? Bad health, or an improper course of life must have impelled you, surely, to espouse, — I shall not say such principles, for they are not worthy of such a title, -but the “probabilities”…
Infidel Defenses Demolished
Infidels of the present day are greatly at a loss for some original vigorous spirit, — one who could skim off old discolored froth, and dive deeper than his predecessors into the stagnant pool, in order to raise a new…
