It was his native land.

With his heart he believed unto patriotism.
What the man is determines largely what his intellect thinks about God.
When the heart is narrow, harsh, and rigorous its theology is despotic and cruel.

When the heart grows kindly, sympathetic and of autumnal richness, it emphasizes the sympathy and love of God.

Each man paints his own picture of God.

The heart lends the pigments.
