Excerpt from Christ, the Son of God: Discourse in Review of the Rev. Dr. Wilkes' Sermon, Entitled "Who Is Christ?" Delivered in the Unitarian Church, Montreal, on Sunday Evening, Jan, 19, 1851

All controversy has its advantages and its disadvantages But controversy concerning the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, while in some cases it may be highly beneficial, has yet peculiar perils. It has a tendency to keep the recognition and contemplation of our Saviour too exclusively in the domain of the understanding, while, if I apprehend his religion aright, his proper abiding place is in the region of the heart. He was a Manifestation of the Father's love to man, and given to be loved by us, rather than to be argued about. His throne ought to be in the affections. To have Him, the Christ, form ed within, living and breathing in the disciple, controlling the thoughts, feelings, words, and actions, making the entire in ward and outward life holy, harmonious, and divinely beautiful. - this is the triumph of the believer, and his hope of glory.
