To reconcile all the doctrines of revelation with each other, is not within our province, or our power. It is only ours to set forth the whole force of every truth; and leave it to God to vindicate himself, not doubting but that the day will come, when the analogy and connection of every doctrine will appear. Truth is like a radiant sun. If we follow out one of its luminous beams without pause, we shall at last lose sight of the luminary itself. We must return and trace out other radii. Our course may seem opposite to that we pursued before, but no matter. We may trace each golden ray with safety, if when it fails us, instead of proceeding by our own estimates, we return to the glorious body of the sun itself.
