Certitude Providence And Prayer Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Certitude, Providence, and Prayer I am accustomed to characterize the age as one of unsettled opinion; certainly not one of strong faith, nor yet of avowed scepticism, but of restless creed. There is a wide-spread impression that the advance of thought, and especially of natural science, has undermined old and fundamental truths both in philosophy and religion. I am endeavoring to show in this series of papers that it is not so. Some of these truths may have to be put in a new and more correct form; the defence of them has to proceed in a wiser way; but the radical principle remains as deeply and firmly established as ever. The doubts and difficulties issue from four quarters of the heavens, or rather of the clouds. I. From philosophy or metaphysics. There is a growing idea that all truth is drawn from experience, that innate ideas are dead and committed to the grave, from which it would be offensive to raise them, and that their heirs and successors, a priori principles, are waxing old and are ready to perish.

Excerpt from Providence and Calamity And many of his interpositions are the result of the influence of importunate supplication. This fact intimates that if prayer had not been Offered, the favor he was induced to confer would have been withholden.
