Daniel Webster on Religious Reformers

By Editor

100. DANIEL WEBSTER AND RELIGIOUS REFORMERS.

What do you suppose Daniel Webster meant by the saying, “There is a boldness, a spirit of daring, in religious reformers not to be measured by the general rules which control men’s purposes and actions?”

We suppose he meant just what he said. He recognized, evidently, that there was a power, spirit, and influence in them which were not in men generally. This is true. In false religions it is the supernatural power of Satan. See Acts 16: 16, 17. In the religion of Christ it is the power of God. See Acts 16: 18-25.
