What The World Calls Virtue Is A

What The World Calls Virtue Is A Name And A Dream Without Christ. The Foundation Of All Human Excellence Must Be Laid Deep In The Blood Of The Redeemer's Cross, And In The Power Of His Resurrection.

By Experience; By A Sense Of Human Frailty; By A Perception Of "the Soul Of Goodness In Things Evil;" By A Cheerful Trust In Human Nature; By A Strong Sense Of God's Love; By Long And Disciplined Realization Of The Atoning Love Of Christ; Only Thus Can We Get A Free, Manly, Large, Princely Spirit Of Forgiveness.

Tell Men That God Is Love; That Right Is Right, And Wrong, Wrong; Let Them Cease To Admire Philanthropy, And Begin To Love Men; Cease To Pant For Heaven, And Begin To Love God; Then The Spirit Of Liberty Begins.

The Divine Wisdom Has Given Us Prayer, Not As A Means Whereby To Obtain The Good Things Of Earth, But As A Means Whereby We Learn To Do Without Them; Not As A Means Whereby We Escape Evil, But As A Means Whereby We Become Strong To Meet It.

The Charm Of The Words Of Great Men, Those Grand Sayings Which Are Recognized As True As Soon As Heard, Is This, That You Recognize Them As Wisdom Which Has Passed Across Your Own Mind. You Feel That They Are Your Own Thoughts Come Back To You.
