Once there were a couple of men arranging a balloon ascension. They
thought they had two ropes fastened to the car, but one of them only was
fastened, and they unfastened that one rope, and the balloon started to
go up. One of the men seized hold of the car, and the other seized hold
of the rope. Up went the balloon, and the man who seized hold of the car
went up with it, and was lost. The man who laid hold of the rope was
just as sincere as the man who laid hold of the car. There was just as
much reason to say that the man who laid hold of that would be saved
because he was sincere as the man who believed in a lie because he is
sincere in his belief. I like a man to be able to give a reason for the
faith that is in him. Once I asked a man what he believed, and he said
he believed what his church believed. I asked him what his church
believed, and he said he supposed his church believed what he did; and
that was all I could get out of him. And so men believe what other
people believe and what their church believes, without really knowing
what their church and other people do believe.
