It is because we have not realized that love is the power motivation which cements us together, repairs breaches when they occur and binds us in an unbroken fellowship, that we have reduced the Christian realm to its present pitiable and disgraceful state. The early Christians did not conquer mankind by philosophic reasoning, by public debate and forensic striving with each other. To know that love is not merely to know about it, or to have heard sermons preached an it as a topic. Love is not the way of safety, security and conformity. After all these things do the modern heathen seek.
Love is the way of risk, adventure and creation.
