ETHICAL PRINCIPLE

Horace Bushnell, the great preacher, when he was a young man,

was troubled with religious doubts. He was an instructor in Yale

College when a gracious revival prevailed in that institution.

Fearing lest he should stand in the way of younger men who might

follow his example, he became troubled in mind exceedingly. He

walked the floor of his room in deep study. At last he reached

this conclusion: “There is one thing of which I have no doubt:

there is a difference between right and wrong. Am I willing

to throw myself on the side of right as far as I can see the

right?” That ethical principle dissolved his doubts. (Text.)
