Book Description
Excerpt from The Reasoner and Theological Examiner, 1851, Vol. 11 How this is all to be done, will be told as opportunity offers. More I have not now time to tell; but this I know, it must be done, and that the right work is being done, though partially. We are numerous enough for the work, and I ask the earnest to help. W5 can give disquietude to Zion, which' is not what it pre tends to be, a kind, courteous, fairplay Zion, but a haughty, insolent, proud, de faming, contemptuous Zion. This is the only Zion that exists. The front of the Church to us is relentless and vindictive. Be it so. Let us not act as children, and idly quarrel with all this. It is our fault if it continue so. We have the truth and the right on our side, and I pardon all who can treat us rudely. Why do we let them Why is not the name of Freethinker, or Sceptic, or Rationalist, or Atheist, as honourable a name as Christian? We have ourselves to thank if it is not. It sounds as well, and means as much that is sincere, and more that is publicly useful. We have indulged in considerable coasting about the enemy, now let each go to battle in some way or other. War on error ought to be as stern, as incessant, as diversified, and as glorious as war on men has been. The hand of fellowship and the word of love give to all men, but show them at the same time how they miss truth and usefulness to which they might profitably attain. If we do not this, our profession of good will is a mere cant. While we say Freedom of Opinion is a power, and do not make a power of it, the world laughs at us, and has a right to laugh but it will cease to laugh when we come to make a power of our Opinions. How gentle Holyoake is - too gentle for his work. He is a lamb who fights with wolves, ' is the exclamation of many a critic of our course. The truth is, 'i can never resent the rude speeches of Christians. I sit and wonder that these men dare be rude, and ask, Why is it? Respect cannot be had by asking for it: it must be commanded, and that is to be effected only by action. It is of no use putting on the wolf in words, and playing the lamb in work. Every braggart can do this. We must reverse the order. The world is theirs who have a true pur pose, and the industry which never ceases to work for its realisation.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Christian Examiner and Theological Review, 1824, Vol. 1 Nor has tlns progress of opinion been attended with any extraordinary excitement of uncharitable feelings. Doubt bss, in common with all, who have been in a minority in religion, we have occasionally had cause to regret that we were mi?udged and misrepresented. But we think we look in vain or any other instance, in which so considerable a reformation of belief has been e 'ected with so little mutual irritation. In comparison with those, who in other times and counn-ies have engaged in similar labours, we consider our selves to havd been signally privileged in regard to the amount of' obloquy, which we have been called to endure, and the to nptations to unchristian feeling, which we have had to resist. And we have ceased, in a great measure, to dread the in uence of controversy upon an intelligent and serious community, since we have perceived, that in the course of these discussions, they have assumed a more moderate and elevated character 3 and a better mutual understanding, and greater mutual respect, have come to prevail between the adherents to opposite Opinions. Exceptions to this remark undoubtedly occur; but it is no small cause of satisfaction that, to such an extent, a good example is set by those whose example will naturally be regarded.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Christian Examiner, Vol. 11 of 29: And General Review I propose to address you, at this time, Fathers and Breth ren in the Christian Ministry, upon the subject of the Christ ian Miracles particularly in their character of an evidence of Christianity as a revelation from God. The present aspect of Theology amongst us 1 must be my apology for the adoption of a subject which might otherwise be deemed but ill suited to the occasion of a Pastoral Conference. By miracles, I understand something more than the deriva tion Of the term implies, that is, more than simply wonder ful works, namely, such wonderful works as have been com mouly supposed, by believers in Christianity, to be wrought by the special aid and interposition of God. It is to this class of wonderful works, if I mistake not, that the application of the term miracles is generally restricted. By the Christian mira cles, I understand those, and only those, of which we find the record in the New Testament.
