Dec. Quotes
Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of Heaven, unasked and unsought. Pearl Buck
A room of quiet . . . a temple of peace;
The home of faith . . . where doubtings cease;
A house of comfort . . . where hope is given;
A source of strength . . . to make earth heaven;
A shrine of worship . . . a place to pray—
I found all this . . . in my church today.
CYRUS E. ALBERTSON
At the beginning God expressed himself. That personal expression, that word, was with God and was God, and he existed with God from the beginning. All creation took place through him. and none took place without him. In him appeared life and this life was the light of mankind. The light still shines in the darkness. And the darkness has never put it out.

IN HIS STEPS
He is a Christian who tries to be the kind of neighbor that Christ would be, and the kind of citizen Christ would be, and who asks himself in all the alternatives of his business life, and in his social life, and his personal life, “What would the Master do in this case?” The best Christian is he who most reminds the people with whom he lives of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. He who never reminds anybody of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a Christian at all.
-George Hodges
EVEN A LITTLE CHRISTIANITY PERSONALLY POSSESSED IS WORTH INFINITE AMOUNT OF CHRISTIANITY EXTERNALLY COPIED. — Harry Emerson Fosdick.
