Three Crosses   “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”— Galatians vi.14.   WHENEVER we rebuke other people we should be prepared to clear ourselves of their offence.

Our Manifesto   “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.” — Galatians i. 11.   To me it is a pitiful sight to see Paul defending himself as an apostle; and doing this, not against the gainsaying world, but against coldhearted members of the church.
