    The Christian Express
    (University of Fort Hare, 1877) The New Outlook Volume 7
    There have been revivals in the church from the very beginning of the world. There is a sense in which the progress of the church may be said to be by a series of revivals. It must be so, for human energy flags in every pursuit. Daily toil is an apparent exception, but men are impelled to it by the dread of poverty and hunger and thirst as to prevent men from falling into a state of remissness, so that times of reviving are in a sense necessary.

    The Christian Express
    (University of Fort Hare, 1880) The Christian Express
    No one who cares for peace and quietness will readily enter into a controversy on a fiercely debated public question. And yet it is out of the undesirable din and turmoil of such debate, that every advance in the history of freedom, whether of thought or religion has always emerged. But there are times when peace and quiet however desirable are not attainable; and when in comparison with speech, silence merits anything but the praise bestowed upon it by a celebrated philosopher still living. It is not always 'golden', for a wiser than Carlyle has said, there is a time to speak, as well as a time to keep silence. There is also a time, we may remind some of our contemporaries, to keep old opinions, and a time to cast them away.
