653. Are external manifestations essential to adoration?
"True adoration is in the heart. In all your actions remember that the Master's eyes is always upon you."
-- Are external acts of worship useful?
"Yes, if they are not a vain pretence. It is always useful to set a good example; but those who perform acts of worship merely from affectation and for the sake of appearances, and whose conduct belies their seeming piety, set a bad example rather than a good one, and do more harm than they imagine."
