One of the points of difference between Jewish doctrine and that of the church of Christ was that in the former the necessity was imposed of seeking the spirit by pilgrimages to some appointed and perhaps distant spot; in the latter that He whom Christ called Our Father is ever and always with us, and we may everywhere accept his present love.
