The Church IS a system, but whether it is as much founded on the teaching of our Lord, who was divine, as on the teaching of St. Paul, who was NOT divine, is a question to me of much perplexity." "St. Paul was directly inspired by our Lord," said the Archbishop "I am amazed that you should even hint a doubt of his apostleship!" "I do not decry St.

'Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ' says he, in the first verse, 'called to be an Apostle' or, more correctly, 'a called Apostle. The apostleship coincided in time with the call, was contemporaneous with that which was its cause. And if Paul was an Apostle since he was called, saints are saints since they are called. 'The beloved of God' are 'the called saints.

Nevertheless, on one occasion he baptized a sick child, naming it Antoinette in honor of St.

The Archer's gorget, arm pieces, and gauntlets, were of the finest steel, curiously inlaid with silver, and his hauberk, or shirt of mail, was as clear and bright as the frostwork of a winter morning upon fern or brier. He wore a loose surcoat or cassock of rich blue velvet, open at the sides like that of a herald, with a large white St. Andrew was the first called to apostleship.

Paul was a tent-maker by trade, and he gloried in the fact that, even during the days of his apostleship, he was not a burden to others, but supported himself by the labor of his hands. Life pursuits rank in dignity and worth, according to the perfection or benefit they bestow upon the worker himself, and his fellow-man.

That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

As Miss Valery said this, an elderly gentleman, dapper, dandy, and small, escaped from under the hands of Duke Dugdale those big earnest hands that were laid upon him in all the apostleship of sincere argument and came, nothing loth, as his eager bow showed, to do the polite to the young bride who had been lately brought to the county.
