The Intuitions of the Multitude
Mark 12:37
David therefore himself calls him Lord; and from where is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.


"When an uninstructed multitude," says Nathaniel Hawthorne, "attempts to see with its eyes, it is exceedingly apt to be deceived. When, however, it forms its judgment, as it usually does, on the intuitions of its great and warm heart, the conclusions thus attained are often so unerring as to possess the character of truths supernaturally revealed."
