- The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being
- as his Father, in the womb of a virgin will be classified with the fable of
- the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the
- dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with
- this artificial scaffolding and restore to us the primitive and genuine
- doctrines of this most venerated Reformer of human errors.
