7213. RELIGION, Compulsion.—

Compulsion
in religion is distinguished peculiarly
from compulsion in every other thing. I May
grow rich by art I am compelled to follow;
I may recover health by medicines I am compelled
to take against my own judgment; but
I cannot be saved by a worship I disbelieve
and abhor.—
