The assumption that any one religion, which may commend itself to any one race, in any portion of our globe, has a monopoly of divine Truth, is human fiction―born of our vanity and pride.
There is no such monopoly of truth in any system of theology, which flourishes, or has flourished among humanity.
Each is, in its degree, imperfect―
Each has its points of truth adapted to the wants of those to whom it was given or by whom it was evolved.
Each has its errors―
None can be commended to those whose habits of thought and whose spiritual necessities are different, as being the spiritual food, which God has given to man.
It is human frailty to fancy such a thing.
We like to believe that we are the exclusive possessor of some germ of truth.
