The day of judgment is opened, and Religion itself is on trial. Freedom of thought in religious matters means precisely this: That every doctrine, every belief, every form of worship, the in- trinsic truth and excellence of which are not self-evident, is open to question. There is no other limit than this. Religion must rest at last on axioms that are vouched for by the universal reason of man, and when these are reached a system will be discovered that is not sensitive to criticism. Calm in its own beautiful strength, it will invite the assaults of Reason, knowing that it has nothing to fear therefrom, but everything to gain. If the op- posite principle is taken as the rule, namely, that what passes as sacred in any worship, creed, or system of religions, is to be taken as verily sacred, and shielded from the assaults of doubt and denial simply because it is ac- ably edited by Mr. Andrew Jackson Davis^ It «P'«>.
