The value of Christianity lies in its bringing the message of truth, and telling the things that are,—and beyond this, in its having the power to conform us to things as they are, and bring us to our true home in God. And when the message has been uttered, and has sunk down into our hearts so that we can perceive of what sort it really is, we find this infinitely great, consoling, and uplifting word at the center of it, that the real is the good; the eternally real is the eternally good: eternal being is holy and gracious: our best is the finite counterpart of the infinite goodness: and hope rather than fear, confidence rather than doubt, is the keynote of existence.

William Newton Clarke, D.D.
