Excerpt from Posthumous Works of the Rev. Thomas Chalmers, D.D., LL. D, Vol. 8 It is ultimately of service to every good cause, not to lay greater stress on any argument employed in supporting it than it can well bear; for when we do commit the impolicy of exaggerating the strength of a weak argument, then on the exposure of that weakness, a discredit is very apt to be laid upon the cause, which rightfully belongs to its unwise and unwary advocates. It had been well if, in the defense of Christianity, or in the vindication of its particular tenets, they who fought on the right side of the question had at all times known wherein it is that the main strength of orthodoxy lies - whether as respects religion in general, or any of its doctrines.
