A Universalist Catechism, part one
The next in my series of Universalist primers to type out.
A Universalist Catechism
Prepared at the request of the Universalist General Convention by the General Sunday School Association
1921 Universalist Publishing House Boston and Chicago
Truth Our higest truths are but half-truths. Think not to settle nown forever in any truth. Make use of it as a tent in which to pass a summer night, But build no house in it, or it will be your tomb. When you find the old truth irksome and confining, When you first have an inkling of its insufficiency And begin to descry a dim counter-truth looming up beyond, The weep not, but give thanks. It is the Lord’s voice, whispering, “Take up thy bed and walk.”
Ernest Howard Crosby.
