In my creature impatience I am often caused to wish that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short, easy lessons; but such wishes are vain. No shortcut exists. God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. It is well that we accept the hard truth now: The man who would know God must give time to Him.

When religion has said its last word, there is little that we need other than God Himself. The evil habit of seeking God-and effectively prevents us from finding God in full revelation. In the and lies our great woe. If we omit the and we shall soon find God, and in Him we shall find that for which we have all our lives been secretly longing.

God is raising up His heroes and the time will come when they will appear and the world will wonder where they came from.

A pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself.

There has been grave error. I do not mean so much error of doctrine as error of emphasis.

We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.

Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.
