The religionist finds man the same everywhere. The idea of wrong, of danger in the future, of God, of accountability, is capable of being evoked alike all over the world. The story of the cross believed, produces the same result; and the hope of a heavenly life has the same elevating influence. Without this belief, men are found adopting substantially the same shifts, descending by the same steps, steeped in similar delusions, and betrayed into the same crimes. The natural heart is everywhere the same; so is the renewed nature. The word of God and the Spirit of God have the same adaptation to every human spirit, as the light of the sun to the human eye, or cold water to the parched lips, or bread to the hungry and faint, or sympathy to the sorrowful, all the world over.
