Faith, Then, Generically, Is Confidence In A Personal Being. Specifically, Religious Faith Is Confidence In God, In Every Respect And Office In Which He Reveals Himself. As That Love Of Which God Is The Object Is Religious Love, So That Confidence In Him As A Father, A Moral Governor, A Redeemer, A Sanctifier, In All The Modes Of His Manifestation, By Which We Believe Whatever He Says Because He Says It, And Commit Ourselves And All Our Interests Cheerfully And Entirely Into His Hands, Is Religious Faith.

In Christ We See The Strength Of Achievement, And The Strength Of Endurance. He Moved With A Calm Majesty, Like The Sun. The Bloody Sweat, And The Crown Of Thorns, And The Cross, Were Full In His Eyes; But He Was Obedient Unto Death. In His Perfect Self-sacrifice We See The Perfection Of Strength; In The Love That Prompted It We See The Perfection Of Beauty. This Combination Of Self-sacrifice And Love Must Be Commenced In Every Christian; And When It Shall Be In Its Spirit Complete In Him, Then Will He Also Be Perfect In Strength And Beauty.

Man Can Have Strength Of Character Only As He Is Capable Of Controlling His Faculties; Of Choosing A Rational End; And, In Its Pursuit, Of Holding Fast To His Integrity Against Al! The Might Of External Nature.

All Mental Discipline And Symmetrical Growth Are From Activity Of The Mind Under The Yoke Of The Will Or Personal Power.
