Miscellany

with contributions from Charles H. Fowler

The great need to-day is the application of the Gospel plan of salvation to the daily lives of the people. There is so much ecclesiastical machinery, so much to do generally, that we are in danger of merging our spirituality into morality, and then patting ourselves complacently on the back and saying, "Very good; very good."

No amount of morality will make religion.

Oh, that we could live the Christ-life ! That is the need—the supreme need—of the hour. As I travel up and down the land and come into touch with thousands of men and women, I realize more every day that the thing that will make the Church progress in the next century is no methods of church, or plans for social reform; but more of Christ in the individual heart. The inflamed human heart is the only motive force that will drive the Church onward to victory.
