Doctrine of the Will

DOCTRINE
THE WILL.
BY REV. A. MAHAN,
PRESIDENT OF THE OBERLIN COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.
“Not man alone, all rationals Heaven arms With an illustrious, but tremendous power, To counteract its own most gracious ends; And this, of strict necessity, not choice; That power denied, men, angels, were no more But passive engines void of praise or blame. A nature rational implies the power Of being blest, or wretched, as we please. Man falls by man, if finally he falls; And fall he must, who learns from death alone, The dreadful secret—That he lives for ever.” Young.
