From The City Without a Church, by Henry Drummond
It is because to large masses of people Christianity has become synonymous with a Temple service that other large masses of people decline to touch it. It is a mistake to suppose that the working classes of this country are opposed to Christianity. No man can ever be opposed to Christianity who knows what it really is.
By far the greatest thing a man can do for his City is to be a good man. Simply to live there as a good man, as a Christian man of action and practical citizen, is the first and highest contribution any one can make to its salvation.
To make Cities—that is what we are here for. To make good Cities—that is for the present hour the main work of Christianity. For the City is strategic.
