CONSCIENCE
Do you imagine that if men’s consciences always spoke loudly and clearly to them,
they would live in the daily commission of acts, which are as opposed to the right as
darkness to light? No, beloved; conscience can tell me that I am a sinner, but
conscience cannot make me feel that I am one. Conscience may tell me that
such-and-such a thing is wrong, but how wrong it is conscience itself does not know.
Did any man’s conscience, unenlightened by the Spirit, ever tell him that his sins
deserved damnation? 182.140
Conscience is a faculty of the mind, which, like every other, has suffered serious
damage through our natural depravity, and it is by no means perfect. 1095.74
Let conscience assert its supremacy; for circumstances do not weigh a feather in
the scale. 2859.571
