Excerpt from Modern Spiritualism: Or, the Opening WayShould some of the inquiry seem like probing into the ways of God, or too much like that feeling after the print of the nails, which alone could persuade the doubting disciple, the writer can only say that it is in accord with the need of his own mind, as well as with the development of the day, that man should in all things find a reason for his faith, if he can, the limit of such inquiry, though not always of his attainment, being only in his capacity to shape his questioning. Not in conceit or presumption let the asking mind raise its thought to the highest, but in that sure trust which should ever bring the sincere child to the good Father, with uplifted head and out stretched arms, for the blessings of His great love, the inspiration of His ever waiting spirit of truth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
