The history of the Church is the rise and progress of the kingdom of heaven upon earth, for the glory of God and the salvation of the world.

Christ himself wrote nothing, but furnished endless material for books and songs of gratitude and praise.

In our country we ask no toleration for religion and its free exercise, but we claim it as an inalienable right.

Freedom of religion is one of the greatest gifts of God to man, without distinction of race and color. He is the author and lord of conscience, and no power on earth has a right to stand between God and the conscience.

To give up faith in Christ is to give up faith in humanity; to believe in Christ is to believe in the redeption and final glorification of men; and this faith is the best inspiration to a holy and useful life for the good of our race of the glory of God.

The history of the Church is the rise and progress of the kingdom of heaven upon earth, for the glory of God and the salvation of the world.

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