I am not in
the manner to go in the way of some in the past. I am not a friend of
controversy but I am a friend of the truth - this heart which has seen the
beauty of Christ and experienced the love of the Father can only rise upon this
worldly stage as to declare to you that Christ is the way, the truth, and life.
In this market place of ideas of which the philosophers and my neighbour's bid me
to cater, but O I cannot, for I must cater for the truth of Christ and his
gospel which calls every other way wrong, declares man a sinner, God a loving
righteous holy God, and Christ the only mediator. This message I proclaim on the pillars of absolute truth. I am
not first a servant of man but of God; and I call to memory the scriptures which
must be proclaimed to this ignorant generation and if their portion is to be like
it was for the people Isaiah was called to preach too then I must preach. They were ever
hearing but never understanding. But I pray that the hearts of the people will
be like those of the people of Nineveh, that when reluctant Jonah came to preach they believed -
and I like Jeremiah, his words burn inside of me to preach to his people and to
the gentiles.
