The apostolic writings are of three kinds: historical, didactic, and prophetic.

Jesus Christ is the beginning, the middle, and the end of all. In the Gospels he walks in human form upon the earth, and accomplishes the work of redemption.

Who touches money touches dirt; and the less religion has to do with it, the better.

The person of Christ is to me the greatest and surest of all facts.
