Man Has Wants Deeper Than Can Be

Religion Without Morality Is A Superstition And A Curse, And Morality Without Religion Is Impossible.

We Are To Regard The Mind, Not As A Piece Of Iron To Be Laid Upon The Anvil And Hammered Into Any Shape, Nor As A Block Of Marble In Which We Are To Find The Statue By Removing The Rubbish, Nor As A Receptacle Into Which Knowledge May Be Poured; But As A Flame That Is To Be Fed, As An Active Being That Must Be Strengthened To Think And To Feel -- And To Dare, To Do, And To Suffer.

Man Has Wants Deeper Than Can Be Supplied By Wealth Or Nature Or Domestic Affections. His Great Relations Are To His God And To Eternity.

Let The Church Come To God In The Strength Of A Perfect Weakness, In The Power Of A Felt Helplessness And A Child-like Confidence, And Then, Either She Has No Strength, And Has No Right To Be, Or She Has A Strength That Is Infinite. Then And Thus, Will She Stretch Out The Rod Over The Seas Of Difficulty That Lie Before Her, And The Waters Shall Divide, And She Shall Pass Through, And Sing The Song Of Deliverance.

But For Us There Are Moments, O, How Solemn, When Destiny Trembles In The Balance And The Preponderance Of Either Scale Is By Our Own Choice.
