"O! that God," says Carey in his Journal in Hindostan, "would make the Gospel successful among them! That would undoubtedly make them honest men, and I fear nothing else ever will." Now this is a fact, ­ spite of infidels and psilosophizing Christians, a fact. A perfect explanation of it would require and would show the psychology of faith, ­ the difference between the whole soul's modifying an action, and an action enforced by modifications of the soul amid prudential motives or favouring impulses. Let me here remind myself of the absolute necessity of having my whole faculties awake and imaginative, in order to illustrate this and similar truths; ­ otherwise my writings will be no other than pages of algebra.
