SUNDAY. 15 after Trinity [268 - 97] We were at 12 Con. School house as usual. Mr Curries text today Gal 3rd & 1st Notice first the great and important privilege of the Galatians. Not that they had actually witnessed the crucifixion but they had a crucified Saviour preached to them. They had not all the Gospels but they had some and one was sufficed & they had the Gospel faithfully preached to them. They had also the Gospel set forth to them by the consistent walk of professors. The celebration of the Lord's Supper. The Galatians had all these yet they turned round to the elements of the law & rejected the Gospel & this is what called forth the expression foolish Gals.The same is true still.Believing in theory but not in practice. Hearers but not doers of the Word --
