Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sermon, Preached at the Funeral of Mrs. Hon. J. H. Godman, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Marion, Ohio, January 5th, 1873
The topic of our discourse this morning is Faith - the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
The religion of Jesus Christ, so far as it is valu able to the individual, is experimental - not that we are to experiment as to its truthfulness - but that we are to experience its saving power upon our hearts in this life.
The Christian religion is based upon the fact that God, the everlasting Father, is able to put Himself into conscious contact with His chil dren - to infuse the divine life into the soul to such an extent, as that the individual can truthfully say: Not I, but Christ Christ dwelleth inme, and the life that I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God.
If this is not true, Christianity is no better than any other system of morals or philosophy.
