The Apostolic Writings Are Of Three Kinds:

To Give Up Faith In Christ Is To Give Up Faith In Humanity; To Believe In Christ Is To Believe In The Redeption And Final Glorification Of Men; And This Faith Is The Best Inspiration To A Holy And Useful Life For The Good Of Our Race Of The Glory Of God.

Calvinism Emphasizes Divine Sovereignty And Free Grace; Arminianism Emphasizes Human Responsibility. The One Restricts The Saving Grace To The Elect; The Other Extends It To All Men On The Condition Of Faith. Both Are Right In What They Assert; Both Are Wrong In What They Deny. If One Important Truth Is Pressed To The Exclusion Of Another Truth Of Equal Importance, It Becomes An Error, And Loses Its Hold Upon The Conscience. The Bible Gives Us A Theology Which Is More Human Than Calvinism And More Divine Than Arminianism, And More Christian Than Either Of Them.

The Resurrection Of Christ Is Therefore Emphatically A Test Question Upon Which Depends The Truth Or Falsehood Of The Christian Religion. It Is Either The Greatest Miracle Or The Greatest Delusion Which History Records.

Religion And Liberty Are Inseparable. Religion Is Voluntary, And Cannot, And Ought Not To Be Forced. This Is A Fundamental Article Of The American Creed, Without Distinction Of Sect Or Party. Liberty, Both Civil And Religious, Is An American Instinct. Such Liberty Is Impossible On The Basis Of A Union Of Church And State, Where The One Of Necessity Restricts Or Controls The Other. It Requires A Friendly Separation, Where Each Power Is Entirely Independent In Its Own Sphere.

If Christians Are Ever To Be United, They Must Be United In Christ, Their Living Head And The Source Of Their Spiritual Life.
