Excerpt from Practical Christianity Christianity is not Christianity until it is applied to life. It cannot be reduced to a bloodless theory, an abstract scheme any more than a pressed flower can be a genuine violet. It must not stop short of its purpose, which is, as a Vital force, to reconstruct man and society and to work out as a fact the spirit of Jesus Christ in the individual, and in the social organism. One may almost take as Christ's final message his own great Words, Know the Truth and Do the Truth. The two go together, and together they complete the cir cuit, for the truth can never be completely known except through a practice lof it in'the process of life.

Excerpt from Religious Progress: The Practical Christianity of Christ I early became impressed with the importance of that maxim of our Saviour, which teaches us that eternal happiness is not to be earned by merely crying, Lord! Lord! In the emotions of speculative piety, but by earnestly and actively doing the will of the Father, striving to conquer the evil tendencies of our nature, and devoting our intelligence, our abilities and our means, to furthering the welfare of our brethren on earth. It is of course necessary that we should guard against being misled by impulsive zeal, and very essential that we should observe in our manifestations of the love of our neighbour, the gradations of devotedness marked for us by the natural ties of relationship and affection.

Excerpt from Personal and Practical Christian Work For forty years it has been my privilege and delight to teach and practice the art of soul-winning. As a pastor, it has been my privilege to minister to the sick, the shut - ins, and those bereft of loved ones, and to form friendships that have endured for long years, but the supreme joy of my life has been found in clasping the hand of a man who has looked me in the eyes and said, I will take Jesus Christ to be my Saviour, and I will confess Him before men. If the pages of this book are used to lead others to engage in soul-saving service in which they will find unspeakable joy, it will not have been written in vain. There are many doors of usefulness open to Chris tians, but after fifty years of practical participation in church life, I am persuaded that the one door which has been opened to all by the Hand that was pierced, the one possible for all to enter, and the one for our attitude toward which we shall all be held accountable, - is the door through which He entered Who found the woman at the well and Who says to every believer, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Excerpt from Unity, Vol. 26: Devoted to Practical Christianity, January, 1907 The statement, All is mind, there is no matter, is construed by many to mean that mind does not manifest in form, that because what the sense man terms matter does not harmonize in character with what 18 ideally perceived as true of Pure Mind it is mortal error, not only in its present finite appear ance, but in its very essence also. This 'conclusion has no authority outside of mere assumption; spiritual understanding does not countenance it.
