Excerpt from The Analogy Between the Miracles and Doctrines of Scripture: The Essay Which Obtained the Borrisian Prize, for the Year 1852
More and more diminished or undefined by the distance of a retrospective survey, this witness ceased to bring with it conviction. A generation was come, in which intellect stood erect amid a general laxity of religion and morals, and which scoffed at Christianity till compelled to acknow ledge the historic truth of its miracles. This again passed away; and another generation (our own) has arisen more warmly conscious perhaps, than any preceding one, of the inner needs of man's nature, and more ready to lend an ear to the cries of human feelings. It is not miracles merely that such an age demands, as the test of a religion which is to meet its wants, but some thing that speaks to the heart and intellect combined. Such a test Christianity supplied.
