Excerpt from Christian Conception and Experience It]: was one of the resolutions of President Edwards always to act according to the intuitions of his most exalted spiritual states, an eminently good, and noble resolution. It may partly have been both cause and effect of his lofty character. This re solution is the expression of an obvious duty and a pregnant principle, a principle which gives character to the following dis cussion. Men may also form a lofty conception of which they do not know the truth or reality but if they do not know the con trary, it has paramount claims on their service and devotion, which are necessary and conducive to spiritual light and felicity. Obedience to the best conception is an immutable obligation and cannot issue in anything but the happiest results. This practi cal truth, so simple, so clear and familiar, is the staple of much that follows in this little book. But there may be some novelty and advantage in the method of its presentation.
