Back of the platform of Faneuil Hall, Boston stands a large painting of Webster's debate with Hayne, inscribed, "Union and Liberty, one and inseparable, now and forever."
I was present when old General William Booth, founder of the
Salvation Army, once made an address in Faneuil Hall. His conclusion was
dramatic.
Turning to the painting, he said, "'Union and liberty'
- union with Christ & liberty from sin - 'one and inseparable, now and
forever."'
The one safeguard against sin's bondage is union with the
living Christ. There is no spiritual liberty apart from this union.
