It is better for a man to die at peace with himself than to live haunted by an evil conscience. - James Fenimore Cooper

Hebrews. This book is much superior to most of the writings attributed to St. Paul, though passages in the other books are very admirable.

'Tis grand! 'tis solemn! 'tis an education of itself to look upon!

Roswell Gardiner has never wavered in his faith, from the time when his feelings were awakened by the just view of his own insignificance, as compared to the power of God! He then learned the first, great lesson in religious belief, that of humility; without which no man can be truly penitent, or truly a Christian. He no longer thought of measuring the Deity with his narrow faculties, or of setting up his blind conclusions, in the face of positive revelations. He saw that all must be accepted, or none; and there was too much evidence, too much inherent truth, a morality too divine, to allow a mind like his to reject the gospel altogether. With Mary at his side, he has continued to worship the Trinity, accepting its mysteries in an humble reliance on the words of inspired men.
