We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with that irresponsible, amusement-mad, paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing unscriptural methods to achieve their ends.

If a man has only correct doctrine to offer me, I am sure to slip out at the first intermission to seek the company of someone who has seen for himself how lovely is the face of Him who is the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. Such a man can help me, and no one else can.

When God would make His Name known to mankind He could find no better word than I AM. When He speaks in the first person He says, I AM when we speak of Him we say, He is when we speak to Him we say, Thou art. Everyone and everything else measures from that fixed point. I am that I am, says God, I change not.
