Excerpt from The Creeds: Four Addresses

Believe me, there is no criticism so shallow as that which attempts to sever the miraculous from Christianity, while yet hoping to preserve as a motive moral power a residuum of Christ's teaching. It cannot be done. It is far more logical to give up the whole of Christianity because of its inherent supernatural elements, than to try to extract its principles of ethics after subtracting the only basis on which those ethical principles can possess incentive force. When the true incentive to morality is with drawn it is worse than lost labour to attempt to galvanize into life a barren code for regulating conduct.
