"That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy without blemish." -EPH. v. 27.
"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up as a spiritual house." -PETER ii. 5.
One holy Church of God appears
Throgh every age and race,
Unwasted by te lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.
-S. LONGFELLOW
A TEMPLE there has been upon earth, a spiritual Tempple, made up of living stones; a Temple, as I may say, composed of souls; a Temple with Good for its light, and Christ for the high priest; with wings for its pillars, and with worshippers for its pavement. Wherever ther is faith and love. this Temple is.
-J. H. NEWMAN
TO whatever worlds He carries our souls when they shall pass out o these imprisoning bodies, in those worlds these souls of ours shall find themselves part or the same great Temple; for it belongs not to this eath alone. There can be no end of the universe where God is, to which that growing Temple does not reach, -the temple of a creattion to be wrought at last into a perfect utterance of God by a perfect obedience to God
-PHILLIPS BROOKS
