Excerpt from The Baptism of the Holy Ghost, the Great Need of the Church: A Sermon Preached in St. Bartholomew's Church, New York, on Sunday Evening, October 21, 1855, on Occasion of the Eighth Anniversary of the Evangelical Knowledge Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church
WE hear much of late concerning the wants of the Church. Their number and nature have been paraded with great prominence, and have given rise to many plans designed to remedy the supposed evils and supply alleged defects.
In, one respect, as a Divine Institution, the Church needs nothing; it already possesses every endowment and adorn ment requisite to its completeness and glory. It is a king's daughter all glorious within, and her clothing is of wrought gold.
