LOVE IS THE ELECTRIC LAW OF LIFE 221 



To deny the Trinity was a crime punished by 

 death a century or two ago in England ; and eccles- 

 iastical authority there and elsewhere prescribed 

 what man should believe for centuries, or receive

 would not recognize her divinity, or her equality 

 with man. But now she stands on a level with
