Unity Is The Ultimate Goal Of All

Lutheranism Restricted Itself To An Exclusively Ecclesiastical And Theological Character, While Calvinism Put Its Impress In And Outside The Church Upon Every Aspect Of Human Life.

It Is Impossible, Bible In Hand, To Limit Christ's Church To One's Own Little Community. It Is Everywhere, In All Parts Of The World; And Whatever Its External Form, Frequently Changing, Often Impure, Yet The Gifts Wherever Received Increase Our Riches.

How Often Has Not The Parallel Been Drawn And The Golden Age Of The Roman Empire, When The External Brilliancy Of Life Likewise Dazzled The Eye, Notwithstanding That The Social Diagnosis Could Yield No Other Verdict Than 'rotten To The Very Core'?

The Curse Should No Longer Rest Upon The World Itself, But Upon That Which Is Sinful In It, And Instead Of Monastic Flight From The World The Duty Is Now Emphasized Of Serving God In The World, In Every Position In Life.

There Is Not A Square Inch In The Whole Domain Of Our Human Existence Over Which Christ, Who Is Sovereign Over All, Does Not Cry, Mine!
