Excerpt from Am Examination of the Memoirs and Writings of Joseph John Gurney To the carnal mind, this profession must ever remain a great mystery - by the soaring intellect of man, strong in self-depend ence, it will be undiscovered in its nature, though explained by all the arts of language - to the Jews it will ever be a stumbling block, and to the Greeks, foolishness - yet to those whose minds are humble enough to receive the truth as a little child, the great principle at the root of the profession of this people will be found to be, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God - eveu that wisdom, which, though hidden from ages and from generations, is still, as it was two hundred years ago, made manifest to his dependent and obedient children.
