 Glorious Faculties.
 Reason is a glorius faculty, and her achievements are wonderful, but faith is a more glorious faculty, and her achievements are infinitely higher than those Of reason. Any age which glor fies reason at the expense of faith mar rows its horizon. clips the wings of its aspiration and brings upon itself an essentially small and prosaic life.

The coming of the kingdom of God is the object and the only object, for which this church is i founded. Not simply the proclaiming or prophesying the coming, but abso Iutely the bringing K in. It is to hew down the mountains and to fill up the valleys; that is what the church is l founded for. He that prepares the way of the Lord is greater than he who only prophecies it.
