“The one true goal or resting-place where doubt and weariness, the stings of a pricking
conscience, and the longings of an unsatisfied soul would all be quieted, is _Christ
Himself_.

Not the church, but Christ.

Not doctrine, but Christ.

Not forms, but Christ.

Not ceremonies, but Christ:

Christ the God-man, giving His life for ours, sealing the everlasting covenant, 
and making peace for us through the blood of His cross;

Christ the divine storehouse of all light and truth, ‘_In whom are hid all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge_‘ (**Col. 2:3**);

Christ the infinite vessel, filled with the Holy Spirit, the Enlightener, the Teacher,
the Quickener, the Comforter, so that ‘_of His fullness have all we received, and
grace for grace_‘ (**John 1:16**).

This, this alone, is the vexed soul’s refuge, its rock to build on, its home to 
abide until the great tempter be bound and every conflict ended in victory.”
