1. The true Church in the world in all ages is wider than the visible Church.

3. True piety always insures membership of the invisible Church.

4. We are led into circumstances at times in which our religious sympathies ought to transcend all the narrow sectional lines of our creeds.

5. True faith presents itself to Christ and the world in very different aspects.

6. True faith never fails to enlist Christ's sympathy and help.

7. Devotion to the welfare of others is a safe path to personal happiness and heaven's approval.
