Word Usage

"The sense, the inward feeling, in the soul of each believer, of its exceeding 'desirableness' -- the experience, that he 'needs' something, joined with the strong foretokening, that the redemption and the graces propounded to us in Christ are 'what' he needs -- this I hold to be the true foundation of the spiritual edifice."
