The Need of Christian Backbone

THE greatest need of the Christian church to-day is backbone. We do not underestimate the need of a more universal Christian consciousness and a recognition of the regnancy of Jesus Christ: we do need these; but of what avail is all this if he to whom this consciousness comes and this regnancy is revealed has not the moral stamina, the backbone, to stand erect in the divinely given posture, and to show forth to a gainsaying world and a wobbling church the power of God and the dignity and the glory of manhood? — Southern Methodist.
