Excerpt from The Appeal of Romanism to Educated Protestants: A Paper Read Before the Evangelical Alliance, New York, October 8, 1873The sacraments are efficacious means of grace, having power to convey grace, by the Divine appointment, as material food has to nourish the body, or cold to congeal, or fire to burn.Transubstantiation is a necessity to the system, the means of realizing continually on earth the gift which came with Incarna tion.The succession of the priesthood is an in evitable part of it, as much SO as is the suc cession of generations to a continued human history. The lines of transmission must be uninterrupted, but personal purity in the priest is nowise essential to the virtue of his sacraments.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
