The Cause and Cure of Infidelity Including a Notice of the Author's Unbelief and the Means of His Rescue (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Cause and Cure of Infidelity: Including a Notice of the Author's Unbelief and the Means of His Rescue Second fact. The adversary of souls would not have young professors and possessors of religion grow in grace. To prevent it, he injects into their minds cold, unbelieving cavils, which embarrass and retard their march. They read on the subject authors that are powerful and unanswerable in the truths they present; but they have no effect on the young inquirers, for they are not sufficiently simplified and extended. They are invincible in the view of those who are familiar with chronology and his tory, but they suit the educated alone. It has been long true with the author of the following pages, that after trying to speak on the subject, he has been addressed by young persons, who have told him that they rejoiced he had noticed a certain infidel quibble - that it had long harassed them - that they knew it was weak and puerile, but had still been annoyed without having heard the proper answer given. Third fact. Infidelity is now growing and spreading to an extent the blindness of the church does not suspect: pocket vol umes of false statements, infidel manuals, painted perversions of history, etc., are spreading profusely; while opposite publica tions are growing more rare. There are many thousands more in our land now growing up in the darkest unbelief, than is known or suspected by any except those who once themselves fought in that division of Satan's army.
