It Is Because God Is Infinitely Great

If All Church Power Vests In The Clergy, Then The People Are Practically Bound To Passive Obedience In All Matters Of Faith And Practice; For All Right Of Private Judgment Is Then Denied.

Faith Is Not A Blind, Irrational Conviction. In Order To Believe, We Must Know What We Believe, And The Grounds On Which Our Faith Rests.

Original Sin Is The Only Rational Solution Of The Undeniable Fact Of The Deep, Universal And Early Manifested Sinfulness Of Men In All Ages, Of Every Class, And In Every Part Of The World

All That Christ Did And Suffered Would Have Been Necessary Had Only One Human Soul Been The Object Of Redemption; And Nothing Different And Nothing More Would Have Been Required Had Every Child Of Adam Been Saved Through His Blood.

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.
