Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The preface to this discourse is solemn: Verily, verily, I say unto you,--Amen, amen. This vehement asseveration intimates the certainty and weight of what he said; we find amen doubled in the church's praises and prayers, Ps. xli.

And as it is not unworthy of Christ to be styled the door, by which both the sheep and the true pastor enter, so neither is it unworthy of God the Father to be styled the door keeper.
