Excerpt from Contending for the Faith: A Sermon Preached by the Lord Bishop of Fredericton in the Chapel of Bishop's College, Lennoxville, Que., At the Annual Convocation Service, June 23rd, 1910

I need not stop to tell you what is the meaning of this faith for which the Apostle exhorts us to contend. Beyond all question, it means to us what it must have meant to the Apostle, - an objective body of truth committed to the Church by Jesus Christ. The faith as not to St. Jude a vague, nebulous system of moral precepts, but a definite form of teaching, a pattezn of sound words with which ti e Church was entrusted, and to which she is bound to hold It is an ob'ective body of religious truth entrusted to the Church by Him w o is the Truth, and, therefore, one, whole, and indivisible. The theology of the Epistles is not something.. Which the writers had created, but something which they had te ceived, - a clear responsibility, a sacred trust.
