unless they are all consecrated we are never free from danger._
+II. Its attainment.+--1. _We cannot consecrate ourselves._ 2. _God
preserves the entire sanctification by imparting peace._
+III. The motive for endeavouring to attain it.+--"Until the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1. _A day of manifestation when the
shadows and unrealities of time will fade in the full morning of
eternity._ 2. _A day of everlasting gatherings.--E. L. Hull._
_The Trinity._
+I. The first power or consciousness in which God is made known to
us is as the Father, the Author of our being.+
+II. The second way through which the personality and consciousness
of God has been revealed to us is as the Son.+
+III. A closer and a more enduring relation in which God stands to us
is the relation of the Spirit.+--It is the graces of the Spirit
which harmonise the man and make him one; and that is the end,
aim, and object of all the Gospel.--_F. W. Robertson._
