11 Morality is conformity to a law of right. Religion is essentially a relation towards a person." The conception of the Church's responsibilities must deepen into something very much more than mere interest iv foreign Missions. . . It is not interest but passion ; the passion that conies from deep living and night thinking that the Church needs. — Bernard Lucas. " We have to make our Christianity — you and I — an active and transforming force m the world at large ; not only exhibiting m our own persons and families a life which breathes something of the spirit of Christ, but also applying persistently the principles of the Gospel to the varied relationships of life — Christianizing our business dealings, dignifying labour, moralizing capital, purifying our amusements, ennobling our sport, and above all, lifting our politics out of the rut of selfish interests until we recognize m them nothing but morality on a larger scale. That, and nothing less, is the task for us Christian people." — Lincoln.
