“THE attitude of a religious man towards the acts by which he acknowledges God to be God, is quite different according as those acts are internal or external. It is principally in the internal acts, the acts by which he believes, hopes and loves, that man’s good consists and what makes man good in God’s sight. Whence it is written, The kingdom of God is within you (Luke xvii. 21). Man’s good and what makes man good in God’s sight does not, principally, consist in external acts. The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, says St. Paul (Rom. xv. 17).”
