Excerpt from Six Sermons: Delivered at the General Convention of Universalists, at Its Annual Session in Concord, N. H on the Nineteenth and Twentieth September 1832 Consequently to urge upon man, under the name Of holiness, an absolute indifference to his own allotment, is to urge upon him a principle which is not only contrary to the constitution of mind which God has given us, but which is also at war with every chapter Ofthe Bible, and would render inapplicable and nugatory all the scripture instructions. Could a man be changed into such a state 'of indifference, it would be a matter of no consequence to him, Whether the reward of vir tue were misery, and the reward of'vice, happi ness or whether it were the reverse. It would no otherwise affect his gratitude or his peace, to be taught that God is love, than it would to be taught that he is full of wrath and malevolence. It would be a matter of total indifference to him, whether Jesus Christ was ordained to be his Saviour, or his Destroyer. 'he would be inca pahle Of hoping for future good because what a man hopes for, he both expects and desires, which implies a choice that is incompatible with a state of indiflerence.
