The advocates of this universal religion of the future, which is simply universal non-religion, say “Protestantism is the grave digger of Christianity.” “But Christianity stoutly refuses to be buried alive,” and the multitude of facts that are continually transpiring demonstrate a living, active existence; “its blood circulates; its pulse is certainly beating;” its force is not spent in the least; it is always giving but is never growing lean; “it has a long lease of life.” All the trees of the forest stand together in one grand old struggle for life. It may be that Christianity will be under the necessity of struggling, for many years to come, with the Godless forms of _Pantheism_ and _Atheism_, which are simply two different phases of the same Godless philosophy; but the seeds of the great Christian tree, in these United States, are being shaken down into the tender and warm soil of millions of hearts in all our Sunday-schools, and it will be many a year before Christianity dies. BILL OF INDICTMENTS AGAINST PROTESTANTS. _First._ The idea of total hereditary depravity which never can be correlated with accountability. _Second._ The idea of those who were never converted being rewarded according to their own deeds, when they were never upon trial; for a man must have ability to try before he can be tried, and that ability must extend to the accomplishment of that to which the trial relates. Wesley’s Discipline says, The condition of man since the fall of Adam is such that he can not, by his own natural strength, turn and prepare himself to faith and calling upon God, without the grace of God by Christ going before to give him good will, and working with him when he has that good will. If it is improper to say that a man can by his own natural strength turn and prepare himself to faith and calling upon God, it is, also, improper to say he is naturally accountable, for where ability ceases, accountability also terminates. But a prop is found in “the grace of God by Christ going before to give a good will, and to work with that good will.” So the grace of God by Christ must go before to displace a bad will by giving “a good one.” But this fails to relieve the doctrine from embarrassment; for if the sinner is unwilling, has a bad will, it is claimed that the Spirit goes away and leaves him to die in his helplessness. Does the Omnipotent Spirit go to a man to give him a good will, and then refuse to give it because the poor man has it not already? Do you say he resisted? Well, well; suppose he did? _What_, is that in the way of an Omnipotent Spirit? Who can explain such nonsense?
