Pages 2 and 3 of our book "Pulpit and Press" give us instructions for defending church. See 2:16 to 3:25. (As I read it, I decided that this is something which I would do well to read often.) It brings to mind one of my favourite hymns, 291: “Quiet, Lord
my froward heart.” The last line
of the first verse has, “Pleased with all that pleaseth Thee.”
The connection
you ask? Page 3, line 21 from Pulpit has - “The river of
His pleasures is a tributary of divine Love, whose living waters have their
source in God, and flow into everlasting Life. We drink of this river when all
human desires are quenched, satisfied with what is pleasing to the divine
Mind” (my emphasis).

Isn't it grand that “This book is the leaven fermenting religion; it is palpably working in the sermons, Sunday Schools, and literature of our and other lands. This spiritual chemicalization is the upheaval produced when truth is neutralizing error and impurities are passing off” (5: 28 - 6:2). It is so important that we recognise and acknowledge these facts.

Page 6 has a puzzler phrase for me – “the deified drug.” My College Edition Webster has for deify: “To make a god of; to exalt to the rank of a deity; to treat as an object of supreme regard; to make godlike; to elevate spiritually.” That satisfies.

It is so inspiring to read what Peel says about Caroline Bates' prowess at climbing ladders. (Ref. p. 9:11). Her husband was a getter-of-things-done. Peel says:
It is so inspiring to read what Peel says about Caroline Bates' prowess at climbing ladders. (Ref. p. 9:11). Her husband was a getter-of-things-done. Peel says:
His wife, Caroline, who worked
with him during this time, was of the same mettle. When a labor dispute stopped
work on the roofing of the bell tower, she twice climbed to the top by means of
a series of twenty-five-foot ladders set up on loose planks inside the tower
wall, and on one occasion remained there on her flimsy perch for three hours in
a stiff wind until she had settled the dispute.
