The heart is fertile of expedients to get rid of this system.
* Bampton Lectures, p. 168.
THE CS.RIST1XS CHURCH. 73 It has made more denominations than conscience has ever made. Indeed, not a few of the denom- inations have been formed, and are now sustained, for the sole purpose of quieting fears which are awakened by the Evangelical doctrines. Men desire a religion which will not disturb them.
They desire a religion which has no pains and penalties. But the Evangelical theory allows them no p...eace while living in sin. In it, there is a " fearful looking for of judgment." Hence it is, that this system is the object of their special aversion. Against no other system have the shafts of ridicule and sarcasm been hurled with such persistent vigor, and such concentrated venom. It has encountered the sneering cynicism of Celsus and Porphyry, of Edward Gibbon and Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the bolder vitupera- tion of Julian the Apostate, Thomas Paine and Theodore Parker. Its enemies have subsidized the pulpit and the press in their unholy warfare, and wealth and taste, and learning and fashion have joined hands to destroy it.
