[Rev. John Gardner, D.D., in Record of Christian Work]

It is a wondrous thing that a good and sanctified personality should be as the sunrise to human hearts. It is a tragic thing that men and women in association with the Divine should treat it as common clay. Is that our failure? Are you and I also incapable of appreciating the man who lives next door? Is it possible that if Christ were back again in Northfield we might be walking with him and talking to him and yet estimate him as but a carpenter—just a somewhat eccentric man? Is that possible in this present age? Is that the secret, I wonder, of the impotence of society and the impotence of the church of God? I fear me sometimes that it is so.

[Dr. K. C. Anderson in The Christian Commonwealth]
