The Most Senseless Limit of Evidence is the Limit of the Senses
Mark 2:12
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying…


But there is a great proneness to fix just such limits as these. Said a shrewd pastor in Massachusetts, when a new method of church work was proposed to him by a visiting brother, "No, no, that wouldn't go down with my people; it's too novel. There are two objections which my people raise against any fresh thing which I propose to them; one is, We never tried that thing here: the other is, We tried that here once, and it didn't go. Either of these objections is fatal." Such people as that don't all live in Massachusetts, nor in Palestine.

(H. C. Trumbull.)
