A Goodly Heritage

Christ's teaching sums up and crowns the best thoughts of the wise in all ages and lands . It is throughout in affinity with reason. The just wholesome authority of the Church depends on the measure in which Christ's spirit dwells in her. "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy." Therefore Christianity is the absolute religion. It is indeed God's final word to men. On the simple principle of the survival of the fittest, it is destined to perpetuity and to ultimate universality. Bruce

With all thy heart, with all thy soul and mind, Thou must Him love, and His behests embrace; All other loves-with which the world doth blind Weak fancies, and stir up affections base- Thou must renounce, and utterly displace; And give thyself unto Him full and free, That full and freely Gave Himself to thee. Spenser
