He has himself, through one of his members, been speaking to us in melting tones of persuasion and love. He has given us an impressive lesson on his great salration. And now I entreat you, ' give heed to the things you have heard, lest at any time you should let them slip.
Page 82 - ... in his speedy second coming. The deepening thought of the Church was Christologic (eg, II Cor., as a model of pastoral theology).
