Excerpt from Faith in Christ and Faith in Doctrine Compared and Contrasted: The Baccalaureate Sermon, Preached Before the College of New Jersey, June 23, 1872 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine. - Til. Ll., 1. There is a well-known tale of a young woman coming to a Scotch minister to be admitted to the Lord's Table, of his exam ining her as to her knowledge of the truths of religion, of his finding her, as he thought, lamentably ignorant, and refusing her the privilege she was seeking; but, as she retired, she burst into tears, and the expression was wrung from her: Though I can not speak for my Saviour, I could die for Him-an appeal which could not be resisted. I am, in this paper, to discourse, first, of the faith that saves; and secondly, the faith in truth which a man can utter and expound. The one of these is spon taneous, direct, looking immediately on Christ, living upon Him and by Him, and may be called Saving Faith; the other is re flective, looking to general truth, and may be called Doctrinal Faith.
