Excerpt from The Advantage of Testing Our Principles, Compensatory of the Evils of Serious Times: A Discourse on Sunday Morning, Feb. 17th, 1861, Before the Second Unitarian Society of Philadelphia
There is one very great advantage in having ques tions of deep and all-embracing magnitude before the public mind; it tests the reality of principles and in terests that ordinarily are carelessly assumed to be real, but are yet treated as if of little practical importance; it banishes apathy and frivolity, crushes into silence those who are usually allowed to talk merely for talk ing's sake, brings out the solid sense and hidden wisdom of society, and makes the moral and spiritual principles that underlie our external life throb with a fresh and vigorous pulse.
