If, then, faith widens the connections, it elevates the man.

The realm of immediate or personal knowledge is a narrow circle in which these bodies move the realm of knowledge derived through faith is as wide as the universe, and old as eternity.

If, then, knowledge be power, how much more power to we gain through the agency of faith, and what elevation must it give to human character.

Taking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement of sense or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others.

I do not purpose to discuss faith in its dogmatic sense today.

We know the past and its great events, the present in its multitudinous complications, chiefly through faith in the testimony of others.
