Religion in the abstract, imposes no restraint upon the sinner, throws no bridle over his impatient lusts. Religion embodied — in a Church with its Ministry, and Sabbaths, and dis- tinct and visible example ; this it is, which arouses the hatred of these men, because this embodied religion has an eye and a voice, and a visible presence. It follows them, watches them, speaks to them, troubles them, " Oil, if this embodied and visible religion would but disappear ! If Ahab could only walk forth w...ithout be- ing compelled to meet God's messenger, and to cry, ' Hast thou found me, O mine enemy !' If religion would only dwindle and dissolve into an invisible abstraction /" This is the language of many a heart among us.
