The chief danger of the Church today is that it is trying to get on the same side as the world, instead of turning the world upside down.

God give to us an intense cry for the old-time power of the Gospel and the Holy Ghost!

As we have a high old time this Christmas may we who know Christ hear the cry of the damned as they hurtle headlong into the Christless night without ever a chance.

Beyond the smiling scenes of Bethlehem may we see the crushing agony of Golgotha
