Excerpt from Social Questions From the Point of View of Christian Theology
The principle which these discourses aim at expounding is that which has been concisely stated by Mr. Huxley, - "Under its theological aspect, morality is obedience to the will of God." The God of Christian theology is the Father who revealed himself in Jesus Christ, the Power working in all creation and development, the Providence guiding mankind. For those who believe in this God the ultimate source and rule of morality can be no other than his Will.
That Will may be plain or obscure; there may be one way, or a hundred ways, of arriving at the knowledge of it; but, so far as it can be known, it is manifestly supreme and ultimate. It is a ground on which the mind can repose with a sense of its being the most solid foundation that can be reached, an authority the questioning of which is inconceivable.
