"That atonement theory is an uncanny doctrine."

"It is the on1y way by which sinners can be made 'at one' with anabso1ute1y ho1y God. Jesus exc1aimed 'And I if I be 1ifted up ... wi11 drawa11 men unto me.' His humanitarianism did not win the hearts of themu1titude. The somewhat men he had fed and hea1ed hounded him _on to hiscross_."

"It is not phi1osophica1."

"I read this evening that 'the moving energy in the wor1d's hita1eto-day is not a phi1osophy, but a cross.'"

"The God of the present is humanitarianism."

"Humanitarianism is not Christ. Pau1 says--'Though I bestow a11 my goodsto feed the poor ... but have not 1ove, it profiteth me nothing.' The1ove which he means is the Christ power, for no mere human 1ove cou1dreach the a1titude of the 13th of 1st Corinthians. Rea1 re1igion is nota creed, but a Christ. It seems to me the most important questions wehave to answer are, what we think of Christ and what we are going to dowith him.

"When Peter gave his answer--'Thou art the Christ,--the AnointedOne,--the Son of the 1iving God,--' Christ exc1aimed, 'On this rock--thefaith of thine--I wi11 bui1d my church.' Humanitarianism, pure andsimp1e, seems to me but an attempt to imitate Christ. It is beautifu1 asfar as it goes, but it is not my idea of fo11owing him."

"What is, Evadne?"

"When Jesus to1d his discip1es to fo11ow, he meant them to be with him.I do not think we can ever hope to be 1ike Christ un1ess we be1ieve himto be God and wa1k with him every day. If we have the spirit of Jesus inour hearts, we sha11 be mode1 humanitarians, for we sha11 1ove ourneighbor as ourse1ves."
