The Christian College

Every forward movement of the race has had its origin and inspiration in some great thought which has awakened and kindled to a blaze all the powers of the soul. History is but ideas worked out into deeds, formulated in declarations of rights, decisions of councils and courts, and which, after long con?ict, have been crystallized in constitutions and organized in churches and states. Free thought has been the instrument in all reforms; religious ideas the origin of all great intellectual achievements and race-lifting.

We are closing the first century of our organic existence as a church. We measure events by years, but God does not measure moral movements by our almanacs.

The ratio of events is not reducible to any human form ula; sometimes long years elapse without apparent progress the forces are organizing, and when all is ready, a nation or a church is born in a day.
