Criticism

By John A. Adams

CRITICISM has its function, but a little of it goes a long way, and it can very easily go the wrong way. Doubt may serve to dislodge error, but it never builds, and, indulged, soon becomes a paralysis. Negation is a north wind, and never comes with the flowers and fruits and harvests of summer in its arms. The Christian religion is positive, the most positive factor that has ever entered into the affairs of man; and it is as tremendous in its energies as it is vast in its scope and object. To be in the spirit and purposes of it is to be positive. —Rev. J. A. Adams.
