My forces are not enfeebled, I find no decay in my strength my provisions are not cut off, I find no abhorring in mine appetite my counsels are not corrupted nor infatuated, I find no false apprehensions to work upon mine understanding and yet they see that invisibly, and I feel that insensibly, the disease prevails.

Insofar as theology is an attempt to define and clarify intellectual positions, it is apt to lead to discussion, to differences of opinion, even to controversy, and hence to be divisive. And this has had a strong tendency to dampen serious discussion of theological issues in most groups, and hence to strengthen the general anti-intellectual bias.

Keep right on to the end of the road, Keep right on to the end. Tho'the way be long let your heart be strong, Keep right on round the bend. Tho' you're tired and weary Still journey on, till you come to your happy abode, Where all you love you've been dreaming of Will be there, at the end of the road.
