We love orthodoxy. It is good.
It is the best. It is the clean,
clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict
with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of
honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as
crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well
named, and well learned, the letter which kills. Nothing is so dead as a dead
orthodoxy -- too dead to speculate, too dead to think, to study, or to
pray.
