"Almost any biographer, if he respects facts, can give us much more than another fact to add to our collection. He can give us the creative fact; the fertile fact; the fact that suggests and engenders."

"As the Church is the aggregate of believers, there is an intimate analogy between the experience of the individual believer, and of the Church as a whole."
Experience
"All the reasons which require the subjection of a believer to the brethren of a particular church, require his subjection to all his brethren in the Lord."
Church
"The functions of these elders, therefore, determine the power of the people; for a representative is one chosen by others to do in their name what they are entitled to do in their own persons; or rather to exercise the powers which radically inhere in those for whom they act."
Power
"If all Church power vests in the clergy, then the people are practically bound to passive obedience in all matters of faith and practice; for all right of private judgment is then denied."
Faith
"Ruling elders are declared to be the representatives of the people."
People
"The Church, during the apostolic age, did not consist of isolated, independent congregations, but was one body, of which the separate churches were constituent members, each subject to all the rest, or to an authority which extended over all."
Age
"It is a thoroughly anti-christian doctrine that the Spirit of God, and therefore the life and governing power of the Church, resides in the ministry, to the exclusion of the people."
Life
"Our first remark on this subject is that the ministry is an office, and not merely a work."
Work
"If the Church is a living body united to the same head, governed by the same laws, and pervaded by the same Spirit, it is impossible that one part should be independent of all the rest."
