Excerpt from The Church That Christ Loved: A Discourse Preached Before the Synod of Pennsylvania, in Calvary Church, Philadelphia, October 17, 1855

Brethren, how else could Christ manifest His love for his Church? Exalted on his throne, head over all things - His, all power, and autho rity, and dominion - the kingdoms of nature and Providence under His supreme control - H� makes all things subservient to the interests of His Church. Everything but His Church, - the glory of the earth and its riches, in his esteem, are worthless. Yea, men are given for her, and people for her life. The sacrifice of a world is little regarded, if necessary to secure her safety and promote her interests. The tide of human affairs, as it rolls tumultuously on, bears on its bosom the Church of Christ. He, who rides upon the whirlwind, and directs the storm, con sults its safety, and that alone, The vast schemes and plans of earth Shall all be dashed and overwhelmed in ruin - and their wrecks be seen ﬂoating on the misty ocean of eternity; but the Church of Christ shall be borne trium phantly over every wave, and through every howling storm, until finished and perfected, it reposes in the eternal calm of Heaven's com placency.
