“I have no hesitation is asserting again that one of the reasons why the Christian Church counts for so little in the modern world is that so many Christians are in this condition of spiritual depression.  The greatest need of the hour is a revived and joyful Church…Unhappy Christians are, to say the least, a poor recommendation of the Christian faith.”
