How
Then, Shall We Live?
Henry Drummond (1851 – 1897)
'To
move among the people on the common street; to meet them in the
market-place on equal terms; to live among them not as saint or monk, but
as brother-man with brother-man; to serve God not with form or ritual, but
in the free impulse of a soul; to bear the burdens of society and relieve
its needs; to carry on the multitudinous activities of the City –
social, commercial, political, philanthropic – in Christ’s spirit and
for His ends: this is the religion of the Son of Man, and the only
meetness for Heaven which has much reality in it.’
