Faith is to
religion what sails are to a ship; it is an
addition of power, not an added burden of
life
(159:3.8). |
|
[S]o many people’s religion fails and shows
itself to be a difficult thing, because of
course it is difficult, as Dr. Maltby would
say, if we insist on ‘carrying the thing
that ought to be carrying us,’ for, as
Samuel Rutherford said, ‘Religion ought to
be the kind of burden that sails are to a
ship, that wings are to a bird,’ an added
power rather than an added burden.

Weatherhead (1927) |
