Excerpt from Summit Living

For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners"–Matthew 9:13
 
"[Back in England] C.T. went up and down the homeland, urging and pleading with God’s people to rise up and fight and sacrifice for perishing souls.

He took the magazine in hand and issued the most stirring appeals that pen could write.

‘Christ’s call is to feed the hungry, not the full; to save the lost, not the stiff-necked’; not to call the scoffers, but sinners to repentance; not to build and furnish comfortable chapels, churches, and cathedrals at home in which to rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, stereotyped prayers and artistic musical performances; but to raise living churches of souls among the destitute; to capture men from the devil’s clutches and snatch them from the very jaws of hell; to enlist and train them for Jesus, and make them into an Almighty Army of God. But this can only be accomplished by a red-hot, unconventional, unfettered Holy Ghost religion, where neither Church nor State, neither man nor traditions are worshiped or preached, but only Christ and Him crucified. Not to confess Christ by fancy collars, clothes, silver crosiers, or gold watch-chain crosses, but by reckless sacrifice and heroism in the foremost trenches.

‘When in hand-to-hand conflict with the world and the devil, neat little biblical confectionery is like shooting lions with a pea-shooter. One needs a man who will let himself go and deliver blows right and left as hard as he can hit, trusting in the Holy Ghost.’"
