Principles and Practices - September 16

Theory and Practice

To hold the doctrines of the Incarnation in their entirety may still be considered as theory, but to live such theories and such doctrines is evidently quite a different matter. It constitutes a new spiritual phenomenon of endless freshness and variability, of which a man who other­wise admits every one of the articles of the Christian creed may be devoid.
