The Spirit of God as Fire; the Globe Within the Sun Our Heaven
Mortimore, D.

It must be acknowledged that the _plans_ of salvation, as now taught
by the many different Protestant Church organizations, are all, more
or less, mystery to the outside world. Hence, _Infidelity_ has in this
highly colored reasons--at least to sustain their assertions against
the _truth_ of the _Christian religion_, and so also have the JEWS.
This fact no one can reasonably deny. The mind of man--his thinking,
_reasoning_ faculty--must be convinced by evidence before he can be
brought to believe, and in this great and important matter he _must
believe_ before he will act.
The _Mind_ must be left free and _untrammelled_, and governed only by
_enlightened reason_. This should be the course pursued by all
teaching ministers. LIGHT, LIBERTY, and ETERNAL LIFE should be the
watchwords of those who stand upon the "Walls of Zion!" The mind must
be taught to _love_ God in all His Immaculate perfections, and to
serve Him through that love which "_casteth out all fear_." St. Paul
says, "_God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and
of_ LOVE _and of a sound mind._" John tells us, "_There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casteth out all fear; because fear hath
torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love._" And yet in
PERFECT LOVE, we shall _always_ have the "fear of God before our
eyes;" we shall ever fear to offend Him, and thereby fulfil every
commandment given us _to_ fear Him. But "HE THAT DWELLETH IN GOD,
DWELLETH IN LOVE."
We believe that if the Christian ministry throughout would properly
present the claims of God to the _love_ of the human heart, there
would soon be a turning of the masses to Him, such as has never been
witnessed since the beginning of the world.
