"The Beginning"
Henry Hasse
And since it hath not a natural tendency to annihilation, nor a power to annihilate itself, nor can be annihilated by any being finitely powerful only, without an immediate act of the omnipotent Creator to annihilate it, it must endlessly abide an active perceptive substance, without either fear or hopes of dying through all eternity, which is, in other words, to be immortal as to the agency of all natural or second causes, that is, 'naturally immortal.
"Modern Atheism under its forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism, Development, and Natural Laws"
James Buchanan
We love in our proportion, to the bound Thine infinite our finite set around, And that is finitely,-thou, infinite And worthy infinite love!
