We have before us the fiendishness of business competition and the world war, passion and wrongdoing, antagonism between classes and moral depravity within them, economic tyranny above and the slave spirit below.

When we speak of our virtues we are competitors, when we confess our sins we become brothers.

Conscience is the perfect interpreter of life.

That the zeal for God's honor is also a dangerous passion, that the Christian must bring with him the courage to swim against the tide instead of with it... accept a good deal of loneliness, will perhaps be nowhere so clear and palpable as in the church, where he would so much like things to be different. Yet he cannot and he will not refuse to take this risk and pay this price... he belongs where the reformation of the church is underway or will again be underway.

Christian worship is the most momentous, most urgent, most glorious action that can take place in human life.

Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.
