I will give a sample of his reasoning. If evil be eternal, then, though good, in its very ide ought to be universal, it must ever be in fact Sectional. Its incursions into the dom n of Evil must be limited by certain bounds and conditions. Two kingdoms, one of Christ and the other of Satan, will have their respective limits. Goodness can never till all worlds. The law that curbs the raging sea becomes its law: 'hitherto shalt thou come, and no farther.' The wave of blessing must he stayed. God cannot be all in all. Angels and men', and we know not what other races of God's own creat ures, must be shared by him with the Power which he abhors. Wide regions of the universe can never be his own 5 and whether he is dispossessed by a foreign power, or by an adverse necessity, the empire of eternity is a divided dominion; and the true doctrine of that empire is Dualism.
