And God Grant That His Fire Be Not Quenched! God Save Us From Any Smoothing Over Of These Questions In The Interests Of A Hollow Pleasantness; God Grant That Great Questions Of Principle May Never Rest Until They Are Stettled Right!

Controversy Of The Right Sort Is Good; For Out Of Such Controversy, As Church History And Scripture Alike Teach, There Comes The Salvation Of Souls.
