A pure Being, not the "chance" of the atheist. 2. A conscious Being, not the "mere law" of the deist. 3. A personal Being, not "the all" of the pantheist. 4. A perfect Being, as revealed in the Bible. 5. An emotional Being, as manifested in Christ. 6. A communicative Being, as imparted by the Holy Spirit. II. WHAT IS IT TO EXALT HIM? 1. Not by tall spires. 2. Not by gorgeous ritual. 3. To adore Him as the object of our worship. 4. To give Him the chief place in our affections. (W. W. Wythe.)
