1876 Circular Letter of the Maine Association

CAN WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION, brethren, to a theme more glorious and more comforting than that of redemption through the blood of Christ, and of salvation in Him? The world has its charms for those who are of it and it loves its own in return; but brethren, our treasure is in heaven, and we are professed believers in Jesus, and so we love to look upon the things of God, and to hear and speak of His wonderful works among the children of men. If He has redeemed us at so great a price, surely we can never praise and adore Him too much. He loved us, and gave Himself for us; surely the heavens above and the earth beneath, must be filled with admiration at so great a gift. Here is love without bottom, brim, or shore, and lost in Deity.
