Excerpt from Evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion: Derived From the Literal Fulfilment of Prophecy Jesus dishonoured not his name. But they sought more than a passive and unexamining belief. They knew in whom they believed; they felt the power of every truth which they professed. And the same cause, 1n active operation, would be productive of the same effects. The same strong and unwavering faith established on reason and conscious conviction, would be creative of the same peace and joy in believing, and of all their accompanying fruits. And as a mean of destroying the distinction, wherever it exists, between the profession and the reality of faith, it is ever the prescribed duty of all, who profess to believe in the gospel, to search and to try, to prove all things, and hold fast to that which is good and to be able to give an answer to every one that asketh them a reason of the hope that is in them.
