Excerpt from Prophecy and Prophets
It is growing more widely evident and appreciated that the trend of educated Christian thought is toward the theory that in nature there must be a basis for revelation, in the accepted sense of the term; and that, indeed, what is, is necessarily also in some sense natural. It is also sufficiently plain that with this basis verified beyond a reasonable doubt, many efficient people of honest unbelief would presently be reclaimed to faith. It is further confidently believed that generally the Bible would be more forcefully and successfully preached and taught when having well in hand the facts which in nature are its allies. On the other hand, conceding the want of such alliances were to add largely to the difficulties in the way of belief.
With many of the best minds, for entirely adequate reasons, the Bible is wholly trustworthy, and thus may accomplish its full mission to them without these corroborations. With others it is necessarily otherwise, who are seeing in nature the sum of all verities and the only basis of real authority.
