[The Watchman-Examiner]
Historical criticism may rub off the rust of the sword of truth, but has it sharpened it? We study so much of the past movements of the church that we have little strength left for present endeavor. We watch the waters that have passed through the mill, but the waters that ran the mill of yesterday are of little use to us today. It is interesting to view the past with a telescope, but it is far more profitable to study present movements and conditions, and in the companionship of Christ to find the master keys that will unlock hearts, organizations, and movements now closed to the faith we represent.
It is not a key of gold, however skilfully wrought, that will unlock the door of the world to the spirit of Christ. The medieval church had it, but it could not open the door. The modern church has it, and perhaps realizes its value only too much; but many hearts remain still closed to the messenger of Christ. The early church had no key of gold, but during the first three centuries hardened hearts were unlocked, an empire trembled into a new vision, and Christians passed everywhere, preaching quietly but persistently, in life and in death, with a force that was irresistible, and the life of Christ went whithersoever it would.
