"It is impossible for a man to know the views of Almighty God. Preaching from prejudice is dangerous, it makes a man dogmatic and certain that he is right. The question for each of us to ask ourselves is this: Would I recognize God if He came in a way I was not prepared for-if He came in the bustle of a marriage feast, or as a carpenter? That is how Jesus Christ appeared to the prejudices of the Pharisees, and they said He was mad.

The characteristics that are manifested when God is at work are self-effacement, self-suppression, abandonment to something or someone other than myself, and surely there has never been more evidence of these characteristics than on the part of the men engaged in this war."
