“The worth of Universalism is implied in the name. It is all-inclusive. It embraces good as the highest object of attainment. It makes evil, not an end, but a stepping-stone to good. It presents God as a universal Father, constantly seeking his children’s welfare. It makes the human race his children, degraded, it may be, but, if so, to be assuredly elevated and improved. It makes the atonement a simple, natural process. It discloses an immortality of spiritual activity which satisfies the aspirations of the human soul. It is scriptural and reasonable. It is without a peer in the realm of faith.”
–Rev. William Wallace Lovejoy
