Excerpt from Universal Beliefs: Or, the Great Consensus Does one feel that a doctrine must be uncer tain if it is respectably disputed? Would it take a stumbling-block out of his way to find a realm of religious belief in which practically all men are at home? Here is such a realm. Here is a sea on which one is not beaten about by conflicting winds of doctrine. All the winds are blowing, but they are all blowing in the same direction. Be hold the unanimity you long for. See that it is as wide as the world. See that it relates to main things. If you are disposed to allow weight to the dz'ssmszzs, should you not also allow weight to the mightier consensus We are not now asking you to accept matters in dispute between Christians; we are only asking you to accept and suitably act on such doctrines as carry the faith not only of all Christendom, but also of all heathendom and of any other -dom under heaven. Believe with the unspeakable majority. And do more than that majority does - give us conduct to match. And when you have gotten so far you are not very far from christ.
