God's ownership is —

1. Universal.

2. Absolute.

3. Eternal. From this ownership we infer —

I. THE ABSOLUTE SUPREMACY OF GOD. He who owns all has a right —

1. To bestow on any creature whatever He pleases.

2. To withdraw from any creature in any way or at any time whatever He thinks best. "The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away."

II. THE MORAL OBLIGATION OF MAN. What is that?

1. To obey His will in everything.

2. To be animated by supreme gratitude.
