men thinking giving
Condemn no man for not thinking as you think. Let every one enjoy the full and free liberty of thinking for himself.

Abhor every approach, in any kind or degree, to the spirit of persecution, if you cannot reason nor persuade a man into the truth, never attempt to force a man into it. If love will not compel him to come, leave him to God, the judge of all.
