For evils of ignorance we want knowledge ; for those of false 

 notions we want truth. When the great law of nature which 

 is the law of God respecting the reproductive function is

 any reality, they would govern the opinions, influence the 

 feelings, and control the lives of a great many more in the

Men have to know what is right, and to will to be right. This 

 will is omnipotent. God helps those who have the will, who

If the presence of those we fear or reverence, respect or love, 

 restrain us from sin, and stimulate us to right action, faith in 

 the existence and presence of God, and angels, and the spirits
