The separation of church and state is a source of strength but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.

Hold firmly that our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this and you dissolve the unity of the Church.

Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

My family frankly they weren't folks who went to church every week.

Educational institutes can no longer be prizes in church politics or furnish berths for failure in other walks of life.

I think our failure in the production of good town churches of distinctive character must have struck you often as it has me when contrasted with our comparative success in country churches.
