Quotations

“It is the Spirit of God that can alone waken us. . . for as without the sun the natural world would be in darkness, so would our souls, without the aid of spiritual light. . . conscience is mercifully implanted in every breast. . . that all may discriminate between good and evil.” (Influence, p. 200, 1822)
