I don't really go down one path. I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist, or a Catholic or a Christian or a Muslim, or Jewish. I couldn't put myself into any organized faith.

The mere assemblage of peace loving people to interchange convincing reasons for their common faith, mere exhortation and argument to the public in favor of peace in general fall short of the mark.

In the latter case life rests upon a thousand presuppositions which the individual can never trace back to their origins, and verify but which he must accept upon faith and belief.

In Christ the original image of God is restored, by faith in this world and by sight in the world to come.

I do not purpose to discuss faith in its dogmatic sense today.

Taking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement of sense or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others.

We know the past and its great events, the present in its multitudinous complications, chiefly through faith in the testimony of others.

The realm of immediate or personal knowledge is a narrow circle in which these bodies move the realm of knowledge derived through faith is as wide as the universe, and old as eternity.

If, then, knowledge be power, how much more power to we gain through the agency of faith, and what elevation must it give to human character.

If, then, faith widens the connections, it elevates the man.
