Doctrine and Practice
James 2:14-26
What does it profit, my brothers, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him?…


A prelate, since deceased, was present whose views were not favourable to the doctrine of Election. "My lord," said he, addressing the archbishop, "it appears to me that the young clergy of the present day are more anxious to teach the people high doctrine than to enforce those practical duties which are so much required." "I have no objection," said His Grace, "to high doctrine if high practice be also insisted upon; otherwise it must, of course, be injurious."

(Life of Archbishop Whately.)
