“If, then, faith widens the connections, it elevates the man.”

We know the past and its great events, the present in its multitudinous complications, chiefly through faith in the testimony of others.
If we look at the realm of knowledge, how exceedingly small and limited is that part acquired through our own senses how wide is that we gain from other sources.
If, then, knowledge be power, how much more power to we gain through the agency of faith, and what elevation must it give to human character.
Taking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement of sense or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others.
