The Church the final satisfaction of certain social instincts, viz. the need of co-operation for life, for knowledge, and for worship 365 These instincts are:-- (1) Universal 365-368 (2) Embodied in Judaism, and combined with the principle of God's election of one people to be a source of blessing to others 368-370 (3) Fulfilled in the Incarnation 370-372 I. The Church as the centre of spiritual life: offers its blessings, without limitation, to all who are willing to submit to spiritual discipline, and combines them in a brotherhood of common service 372-375 Hence it is, of necessity:-- (1) A _visible_ body 375-377 (2) _One_, both in its spiritual life and in external organization. This unity implied in the New Testament, and explained in the second century, as centering in the Episcopate. The Apostolical Succession is thus the pledge of historic continuity, and has always been the mark of the English Church. Loyalty to the Church is no narrowing of true sympathy 377-384 II. The Church as the Teacher of Truth: primarily by bearing witness to truths revealed to it; secondarily by interpreting the relation of these truths to each other 384-387 Hence:-- (1) It witnesses to the reality of central spiritual truths and teaches them authoritatively to its members 387 (2) It trains its members to a rational apprehension of these truths 387-388 (3) It leaves great freedom on points not central 388-389 (4) It protects the truths themselves from decay 389-390 III. The Church the home of worship: worship the Godward expression of its life: its highest expression in the Eucharist: its priestly work earned out from the first by a special class of ministers 390-393 Each aspect of the Church's work completed by the co-operation of the Blessed Dead 394 Causes of the apparent failure of the Church 394-400 Need of its witness and work in modern times 400-402 X. SACRAMENTS. Comprehensiveness a characteristic distinction of fruitful and enduring work: which will here be traced in the sacramental work of the Church; with incidental reference to the evidential import of the inner coherence of Christianity, and its perfect aptness for humanity 405-408
