Conscience may be practically destroyed by long obstinacy in sin, and by resisting the recognized voice of conscience and the Holy Ghost. Men can persuade them selves of almost anything. . . . They disguise abominable principles under vague formulas; they declare that the higher law is an unnatural tyranny, that the passions are the real and only law of life; they call good by the name of evil, and evil by the name of good; they stifle conviction, and pass off mere obstinacy for sincerity. Finally the moral sense becomes extinct; the very light which is in them becomes darkness; self-deception is complete, and they go down blind and un suspecting to the abyss. --Rev. James Bellord, Meditations on Christian Dogma, Vol. II, p. 45.
