ORRIN PHILIP GIFFORD
American clergyman (1847 - unknown)

Running like a gulf-stream through the sea of times comes the
affirmation that God has manifested Himself to man, and the best
men have affirmed it most persistently. Wherever this
affirmation has made its way, the icebergs of skepticism have
disappeared, the temperature of virtue has risen, and the sweet
fruits of charity have ripened. If the belief be false, then a
lie has blessed the World, and the soul is so organized that it
reaches its highest state of development in an atmosphere of
deception; for it is a fact that man is purest and woman most
virtuous where belief in God's manifestations is most intense and
real.
- [God]
