Sanctification Is Not A Work Of Nature,

The Independent Or Congregational Theory Includes Two Principles; First, That The Governing And Executive Power In The Church Is In The Brotherhood; And Secondly, That The Church Organization Is Complete In Each Worshipping Assembly, Which Is Independent Of Every Other.

The Church Is Everywhere Represented As One. It Is One Body, One Family, One Fold, One Kingdom. It Is One Because Pervaded By One Spirit. We Are All Baptized Into One Spirit So As To Become, Says The Apostle, On Body.

It Is A Fact That Unless Children Are Brought Up In The Nurture And Admonition Of The Lord, They, And The Society Which They Constitute Or Control, Will Go To Destruction. Consequently, When A State Resolves That Religious Instruction Shall Be Banished From The Schools And Other Literary Institutions, It Virtually Resolves On Self-destruction.

All Moral Obligation Resolves Itself Into The Obligation Of Conformity To The Will Of God.

The Church, However, Is A Self-governing Society, Distinct From The State, Having Its Officers And Laws, And, Therefore, An Administrative Government Of Its Own.
