Quotations

"You cannot kill hatred and violence by violence and hatred." (Great Adventure, p. 11)

"Christians should be able to meet material force with spiritual power. It is horrifying to reflect that after nineteen hundred years, we are still unable to do it except in individual cases and on a small scale." (Consider the Days, p. 68; photo Roydenhistory.co.uk)
