We must never edit God.

Religion is interested primarily in the One who is the source of all things, the master of every phenomenon.

In my creature impatience I am often caused to wish that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short, easy lessons; but such wishes are vain.
