The Master, brethren, is in need of nothing : he asks nothing of anyone, save that confession be made to him.
For David the chosen says :—“ I will confess to the Lord, and it shall please him more than a young calf that groweth horns and hoofs: let the poor see it and be glad.”
And again he says “ Sacrifice to God a sacrifice of praise, and pay to the Highest thy vows; and call upon me in the day of thy affliction, and I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me.
For the sacrifice of God is a broken spirit.”
