Excerpt from The Breath of God With Man: An Essay on the Grounds and Evidences of Universal Religion

Nions, humane Society. Till these appear, universal warfare is the condition of the world; sect striving against sect, theory against theory, and interest against interest, in the social land. The advance of thought generates new antagonisms, while its suppression induces ecclesiastical corruption, intellectual ignorance, social depravity, brutality, and ruin. The multitudes, whether cultured or unlearned, are so far the slaves of cupidities, that, humanly speaking, there is no help, no cure for this chronic condition of affairs. To venture beyond the pale of the recognised parties 15 to incur the penalty of religious and social ostracism.

Excerpt from The Breath of God With Man: An Essay on the Grounds and Evidences of Universal Religion

Human life is embosomed in mystery. Man is born in the midst of a veiled labyrinth, intricate and many chambered, whose long corridors are haunted by formidable shapes, larvæ and lamia, besetting him with ghostly arts, alluring him with deceptive voices, and tempting him with fallacious appearances. The innocent are inexperienced, the cultured almost universally sophisticated, the devout enslaved by one or another of the multitudinous priesthoods of Christendom or Heathendom, the irreligious bewildered by the hypotheses which form themselves in lurid points upon the bosom of the darkness of their infidelity. The weak and the passive are drawn in the train of hereditary, national, or ecclesiastical forces, as nebulous particles that float in the extremities of a comet; while the powerful and apostate, according to their proclivities, conserve existing disorders, or precipitate destructive revolutions. The world in general possesses neither Church, University, or Society. The institutions which tenant their places serve but to occupy the ground until the real order appears.
