“’People say to me, that it is but a dream to suppose that Christianity should regain the organic power in human society which once it possessed. I cannot help that; I never said it could. I am not a politician; I am proposing no measures, but exposing a fallacy, and resisting a pretence.

The ascendancy of Faith may be impracticable, but the reign of Knowledge is incomprehensible.’”
