“No man ever saw God and lived; and yet, I shall not live till I see God; and when I have seen him I shall never die”

“The ethical aspect may be set out, and then the economic. Whose task is it to mix them; to combine? Certainly not anyone who, however skilled in one, is ignorant of the other. Surely, if the economist does not like the task or feel apt for it, he cannot complain if the parson essays it and, with the best of intentions and no discipline, reaches conclusions which do injustice to economics. It is a combined study of peculiar balance and interpretation, and perhaps has not yet developed a proper technique of its own.”

“It is a symptom of spiritual poverty if the church of Christ is afraid to address the burning problems of the day… every burning problem, after all, and above all the social problem of the working classes, arises from dire needs, wretched conditions, and painful woes, and therefore calls for the healing balm on a hurting social wound. How could one conceive of a church of Christ that had no heart for such suffering and had that did not feel the urge to let her Savior shine in this area with the majesty of his redeeming love?”
