and life, and
understanding. Every good thought that rises within us, every unselfish
motive that stimulates us, every desire to be holy, every resolve to do
what is right, what is brave, or noble, or self-sacrificing, comes to
man from the Holy Ghost. He is instructing and directing us not only on
special occasions, as when we read the Bible or meet for worship, but
always, if we will listen for His voice. His personal indwelling in man,
as Counsellor and Guide, is the fulfilment of the promise--"I will dwell
in them, and walk in them." "He will guide you into all truth" is an
assurance of counsel and victory that is ever receiving fulfilment, and
that cannot be broken.[184]

_The Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints_

SECTION 1.--THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH

In the clause of the Creed which expresses belief in Jesus Christ, He is
called our Lord "And in Jesus Christ our Lord." That He is their Lord is
declared by believers, when they term the society of which they are
members "the Church." This word is derived from the Greek _kurios_,
Lord, in the adjectival form _kuriakos_, of or belonging to the
Lord--the Scottish word "kirk" being therefore a form nearer the

used in different senses, all of them, however, pointing to the Lord
Jesus as their source and sanction. By "church," we sometimes mean a
building set apart for Christian worship. The Jew had his Tabernacle in
the Wilderness, his Temple at Jerusalem, and his Synagogue in the
Provinces; the Mohammedan has his Mosque, and the Brahmin his Pagoda;
but the Christian has his Church, in whose very name his Lord is
honoured. Sometimes the word denotes the Christians of a specified city
or locality--the Church at Ephesus, the Church at Corinth. Sometimes it
is limited to a number of Christians meeting for worship in a house, as
in Romans xvi. 5 and in Philemon.[185] Sometimes "Church" denotes a
particular denomination of Christians, as the Presbyterian Church, the
Episcopal Church. Sometimes it expresses the distinctive form which
Christianity assumes in a particular nation--the Church of England, the
Church of Scotland. In the Creed the Holy Catholic Church means the
whole body of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, all who anywhere and
everywhere are loo
