What is the Christian Everywhere the man who, so far as he comprehends Jesus Christ, so far as he can get any knowledge of Him, is His servant the man who makes Christ a teacher of his intelligence and the guide of his soul the man who obeys Christ as far as he has been able to understand him.... I would know any man as a Christian, would rejoice to know any man as a Christian, whom Jesus would recognize as a Christian and Jesus Christ, I am sure, in these old days recognized His followers even if they came after Him with the blindest sight, with the most imperfect recognition and acknowledgment of what He was and of what He could do.
Phillips Brooks
Some day, in years to come, you will be wrestling with the great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your life. But the real struggle is here, now, in these quiet weeks. Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made except by a steady, long-continued process.
