    In winning souls for the Master,

    it is not the first mile of compulsion,

    duty or convention that will transform

    man and his world, but rather the second

    mile of free service and liberty-loving devotion…

    Of all human knowledge,

    that which is of greatest value

    is to know the religious life of Jesus

    and how he lived it

    It should not be the aim of kingdom believers

    literally to imitate the outward life of Jesus

    in the flesh but rather to share his faith;

    to trust God as he trusted God and to

    believe in men as he believed in men

    You may preach a religion

    about Jesus, but perforce,

    you must live the

    religion of Jesus

    The progressive

    comprehension

    of reality

    is the equivalent

    of approaching

    God

    Unless a divine lover

    lived in man,

    he could not

    unselfishly and

    spiritually love

    Man aspires

    by worship

    to be better

    and thereby

    eventually attains

    the best

    God is not the mere invention

    of man’s idealism; he is

    the very source of all such

    superanimal insights and values

    Religion stands above science,

    art, philosophy, ethics and morals,

    but not independent of them

    Religious insight possesses

    the power of turning defeat

    into higher desires and

    new determinations

    Love is the highest motivation

    which man can utilize in his

    universe ascent. But love, 

    divested of truth, beauty and goodness,

    is only a sentiment, a philosophic distortion,

    a psychic illusion, a spiritual deception

    Some men’s lives are

    too great and noble

    to descend to the low level

    of being merely successful

    Be not discouraged; human evolution

    is still in progress, and the revelation

    of God to the world, in and through Jesus,

    shall not fail
