Author Description

Excerpt from D. D. Home: His Life and Mission One or two of Home's aphorisms may be quoted to show the mind of this man who is even now hounded down by ignorant traducers, especially Materialists who cannot forgive the shattering blow which he inflicted upon their whole philosophy-a death-blow, as it will prove. Follow Christ's teaching and carry out His mission. Religion is to worship something outside and beyond yourself. Try all communications by the help of your conscience and your reason. The sanity as well as the essential piety of the man shines through such sayings. Surely it is the outworn case of a beautiful soul which lies under the slab in Paris on which is carved the words To another, discerning of spirits. - Cor. Xii. 10.
