Feelings.

To DEPEND upon feeling in religion is unsafe and dangerous. A man may as well think of holding fast to the clouds, building upon running sand, or relying upon the wind. The cloud, the sand, or the wind, are no more changeable and uncertain than our feelings. A change in circumstances, or a change in health, or a change in friends, will often produce an equal change in feeling. Our religion should be like the sun, cloud or no cloud, go on in its shining course; like the earth, wind or no wind, roll on in its orbit. We should “stand by faith,” “live by faith,” and “hold fast the profession of our faith.”—Sel.
