“Christ and the life of Christ is at this moment inspiring the literature of the world as never before, and raising it up a witness against waste and want and war. It may confess Him, as in Tolstoi's work it does, or it may deny Him, but it cannot exclude Him; and in the degree that it ignores His spirit, modern literature is artistically inferior. In other words, all good literature is now Christmas literature.” WorldWantMayDoeWarMomentsSpiritLiteratureChristModernDegreesWasteDenyWitnessWorking ItInferiorsModern LiteratureGood Literature Book:The Friendly Fire Source: The Friendly Fire
“Even yet Christ Jesus has to lie out in waste places very often, because there is no room for him in the inn--no room for him in our hearts, because of our worldliness. There is no room for him even in our politics and religion. There is no room in the inn, and we put him in the manger, and he lies outside our faith, coldly and dimly conceived by us.” HeartLyingJesusChristRoomsWasteInnsReligion And PoliticsWorldliness Author:Edwin Hubbel Chapin
