Excerpt from Present Heaven: Addressed to a Friend Every man that cometh to God, darkly as he may feel after, and imperfectly as he may find Him, comes to Him under the twofold conviction upon which the Apostle bases the existence of Faith itself; he must be persuaded "that God is, and that He is the rewarder of such as diligently seek Him," - a testimony which the Psalmist confirms even in transposing it, when he declares, "Verily there is a reward for the righteous, doubtless there is a God that judgeth the earth." Thus all approaches to the Supreme Being, howsoever warped by error or superstition, possess something of the nature of true religion (re-allegiance), because they testify to man's belief in a power raised above humanity, yet still cognizant of its actions and influenced by its dispositions.
