“Man was not forbidden to make a representation of anything: he is forbidden to use the representation as an aid to worship.” (Page 26)
“God’s first circle of society is that of the family, and the origin of the family in His purpose lies within the sacred unity of man and woman. The first principle of human life is its relationship to God. The second is its inter-relation, that of man to man.” (Page 76)
“In the light of the Christian era war finds no justification, and capital punishment has no place.” (Page 72)
“In the close of the Book of Ecclesiastes, the preacher says, ‘This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole of man’ (12:13). Not ‘the whole duty of man,’ as it was in the Authorized Version, but the ‘whole of man.’ That is to say, if a man fear God and keep His commandments, he is a whole man. Judged by this standard, how many there are that are not whole men.” (Page 10)
“the first brings us face to face with the object of worship” (Page 15)
