SYNOD OF CANADIAN
"My church is the place, where the Word of God is preached, the power of God is felt, the Spirit of God is manifested and the unity of God is perceived."
"There, I am to meet my Saviour, to meditate on his redemption, to listen to his commands, to bow in reverence before him, to pray for his guidance, to sing his praise, to ask for his help, and to sit quietly in his house."
"It is the home of my soul, the altar of my devotion, the hearth of my faith, the center of my affections and the foretaste of heaven."
"I have united with it in solemn covenant, pledging myself to attend its services, to pray for its members, to give to its support, to obey its laws, to protect its name, to reverence its building, to honor its officers and to maintain its permanence."
"It claims the principal place in my activities, and its unity, peace and progress, concern my life in this world and that which is to come."—F. Hyatt Smith.
