Signs of the of Times

with contributions from Franklin Clark Fry, J. Robert Moffett

Dr. Franklin Clark Fry in an address at the dedication of Weaver Memorial Chapel Wittenberg College, as reported in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ohio

The greatest enemies of religion are ... distraction and preoccupation. ... Our thoughts and emotions are so full of trifles, we are so busy about things of no permanent value, that the finest things of life slip away from us. That is how most people lose joy and hope ... the steadying sense of the presence of God.

Worship is a two-way transaction, involving God and us. The worst affront to God would be to build a handsome chapel and then stay away from it and ignore it.
