Excerpt from Speeches of Dr. John Rolph, and Christop'r A. Hagerman, Esq., His Majesty's Solicitor General, on the Bill for Appropriating the Proceeds of the Clergy Reserves to the Purposes of General Education
If our religion has in'past times triumphant ly prevailed against the powers of this world and of darkness too, how incalculably we may ficilitate her conquests by merely levelling, as it were, the theatre of her Operations, and gir ing freer scope to her Spiritual warfare - Altho' many great men have brought all the force of their minds to bear against Christianity, and have thrown over it the clouds of infidelity, yet those clouds have served to give greater refrac tion to the truth shining through them, 62. There. By enhanced and enlightened what they were intended to darken and enshrowd - just as the moon rising in an evening fog seems really the nearer and the greater for the very mist about her - Thus Gibbon is converted into a oommen tator upon the fulfilment of prophesy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the historical relationship between the Church and the state. By providing insight into the historical effects of government intervention in religious affairs, the author argues against the idea that granting one or more churches exclusive rights and privileges is beneficial to either the church or the state. Drawing upon historical events and religious texts, the author shows how this connection not only negatively affects the religious and civil liberties of individuals but also corrupts the very nature of the church itself. The author concludes by arguing that true religion should be free from state interference and instead be supported by the voluntary contributions of its faithful.
