Reason--It's Proper Place

"Some say their reason declares certain doctrines of revelation to be untrue, and that is enough. Your reason! And what, pray, is your reason? How much is its dictum worth ? What weighs your reason in the great scale of minds ? Who made it a jndge of what its Maker ought to reveal, and ought to be, and ought to do; and to affirm that this may be true, and that may not be true? Do you say that God enkindled this light within you? True; but he meant it to illuminate its own little sphere, and not to boast itself a sun, and plant itself in the heavens, in its Maker's place and stead."
