Excerpt from Modern Philosophy: From Descartes to Schopenhauer and Hartmann Prejudice on either side, and to welcome evidence and argu ment from whatever source they might come, without pro fessional bias, and free from any external inducement to teach one set of Opinions rather than another, I have faith fully studied most of what the philosophy of these modern times and the science of our own day assume to teach. And the result is, that I am now more firmly convinced than ever that what has been justly called the dirt-philosophy of materialism and fatalism is baseless and false. I accept with unhesitating conviction and belief the doctrine of the being of one Personal God, the Creator and Governor of the world, and of one Lord Jesus Christ in whom dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; and I have found noth ing whatever in the literature of modern infidelity which, to my mind, casts even the slightest doubt upon that belief. Not being a clergyman, I am not exposed to the cruel im putation which unbelievers have too long been permitted to fling against the clergy, of being induced by prudential motives to profess what they do not believe. Let me be permitted also to repeat the opinion, which I ventured to express as far back as 1849, that the time seems to have arrived for a more practical and immediate verification than the world has ever yet witnessed of the great truth, that the civilization which is not based upon Christianity is big with the elements of its own destruction.
