There is a passage in Goethe's autobiography that bears upon this subject, and a very suggestive one.
" General, natural religion," he says, " properly speaking, requires no faith; for the persuasion that a great producing, regulating, and conducting Being conceals himself, as it were, behind nature, to make himself comprehensible to us, — such a conviction forces itself upon every one.

But it is different with a special religion which an- nounces to us that this Great Being distinctly and preeminently interests himself for one individual, one family, one people, one country. This religion is founded on faith, which must be immovable if it would not be instantly destroyed. Every doubt of such a religion is fatal to it. One may return to conviction, but not to faith." St. Paul saw the difficulties in the way of an appeal to reason, and said boldly that " no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost."
