“In conclusion, I will remind you of the words the Apostle addressed to the Ephesian
elders: ‘I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.’ (Acts 20:32)

We are about to part, perhaps to meet no more in this world. Let us solemnly commend
one another to God, and to the word of His grace, as that which will _never_ err,
_never_ fail us, _never_ lead us astray.

Guided by that Word as our light and lamp, we shall at last receive an inheritance
among them that are sanctified.

Above all, let us never forget the advice which Whitefield gave in one of his letters:
let us ‘make much of our Lord Jesus Christ.’

There are many things of which we may easily make too much in our ministry, give
them too much attention, think about them too much.

But we can never make too much of Christ.”

to pastors at Weston-Super-Mare in August 1858.
