Excerpt from Sermons Delivered by John J. Cornell at Friends' Meeting House, Park Avenue, Baltimore, MD., 1894: The One Faith; The Golden Rule; Deliverance From Evil; The Spiritual Resurrection; Am I My Brother's Keeper? Salvation From Selfishness IN this language of Paul, written to the Church of Ephesus, we find a strong and clear testimony to the unity of God, and the possibility of the unity of those who are obedient to Him in one bond. If Paul had been living in our day, and had uttered for the first time these expres sions, he would have been regarded by one class of Chris tians as a heretic, and subjected to the charge of unitarian ism and of denying the divinity of Christ, because he recognizes but one God, and does not divide him into a Trinity, but recognizes God as a Spirit and not as a person. There is one body and one Spirit, had reference to the union of the Divine with individuals composing the church into one common bond. He did not, in any of these ex pressions, portray the necessity of seeing eye to eye in all things in the recognition of the one Spirit. Those who have studied carefully the history of the Jew ish people as recorded in the Old Testament, if they have been seeking for truth rather than for the substantiation of dogma, have found throughout it the prophets and patriarchs bearing testimony to the one God; frequently exhorting the people to beware of idolatry, expressing themselves in such language as, I am a jealous God I am the Lord thy God, and thou shalt have no other gods before me' and so on all through very many of the testimonies.
