"When we think there was no room at the inn for him who came to minister to man's pain and suffering, then surely we do not wish to deny the suffering millions of mankind today the ministry, which only the church can give. "
"The hungry have ben fed; the naked have been clothed; the sick have been healed; prisoners have been visited; the homeless have been resettled, and the Church of Christ has been strengthened."
