Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Assurances of Immortality
All men accede to the proposition that there must have been a first cause, but many deny that personality was a concomitant of the first cause. Some take an agnostic position; not a few have some conception of God, but refuse to wrap Him up in a word or superinscribe him with anything likened unto an anthropomorphic form.
Before we should formulate an opinion, or reach a conclusion, we must have a concept of the subject and work out the proposition to its logical conclusion. In facing this question of the first cause, as both judge and jury, we must decide for ourselves alone the verdict that is to make us heirs of immortality, or the ?otsam and jetsam of matter and chance.
