The Galatians Are Severely Censured For Giving

It Is Because God Is Infinitely Great And Good That His Glory Is The End Of All Things; And His Good Pleasure The Highest Reason For Whatever Comes To Pass. What Is Man That He Should Contend With God, Or Presume That His Interests Rather Than God's Glory Should Be Made The Final End?

To Be In Christ Is The Source Of The Christian Life; To Be Like Christ Is The Sum Of His Excellence; To Be With Christ Is The Fullness Of His Joy.

Prayer Is The Converse Of The Soul With God. Therein We Manifest Or Express To Him Our Reverence, And Love For His Divine Perfection, Our Gratitude For All His Mercies, Our Penitence For Our Sins, Our Hope In His Forgiving Love, Our Submission To His Authority, Our Confidence In His Care, Our Desires For His Favour, And For The Providential And Spiritual Blessings Needed For Ourselves And Others.

Christian Humility Does Not Consist In Denying What There Is Of Good In Us; But In An Abiding Sense Of Ill-desert, And In The Consciousness That What We Have Of Good Is Due To The Grace Of God.

So Too, In Forming A Constitution, Or In Enacting Rules Of Procedure, Or Making Canons, The People Do Not Merely Passively Assent, But Actively Cooperate. They Have, In All These Matters, The Same Authority As The Clergy.
