Excerpt from Life and Death: A Reply to the Rev. J. Baldwin Brown's Lectures on Conditional Immortality Tells us, much Of the printed matter put forth by sundry advocates of that doctrine is Of ghastly dulness, and has' proved a weariness to his flesh. I know of no excuses for the existence Of such literature except these two: first, that every considerable movement in theology has in past ages been accompanied by a flood Of pamphlets and articles which would be very painful reading to a modern lecturer; and, secondly, that Providence seems to avenge the steady refusal Of the ablest writers to handle these questions, by permitting the literary activity Of less eloquent brethren, who, if not so learned or brilliant, are Often much more seriously in earnest than their superiors. But genuine love for truth will lead us not to be ashamed even of the most illiterate endeavours to extend its sovereignty In the world. Courageous faith also prompts us to sympathy with all who share it, even if their dialect be Galilean, and their argument how and then a little paradoxical. Yet Mr. Baldwin Brown will not forget, while honouring a few Of us beyond our deserts with SO distinguished a share Of his attention, that on the same side are a multitude Of other writers, ancient and modern, Asiatic, European, and American, whose learning and capacity it would be impertinent alike for me to extol or for him to depreciate.
