Most excellent and happy land, I say, which receiving the celestial grain from the recess of the paternal heart in that most fruitful bosom of thine, hast produced such rich harvests of martyrs from the heavenly seed, and whose fertile soil hast no less Manifoldly engendered fruit a thirtieth, sixtieth, and a hundredfold in the remaining race of all the faithful throughout the entire world.
"The History of the Knights Templars, the Temple Church, and the Temple"
Charles G. Addison
There is but one place for us, the foot of the cross, that there we may obtain forgiveness for all the faulty past and thence may draw consecration and strength for the future, to enable us to keep that lofty law of Christian morality, which is high and hard if we think only of its precepts, but becomes light and easy when we open our hearts to receive the power for obedience, "which," as this great Epistle Manifoldly teaches, "is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
"The Expositor's Bible: Colossians and Philemon"
Alexander Maclaren
An easy-going belief in inherent and inevitable progress, therefore, is positively perilous in the Manifoldly complex social situation, from which only the most careful thinking and the most courageous living will ever rescue us.
