Excerpt from The Spring Hill Review, Vol. 1: April, 1899 The Cross whereby the Lord of glory was perfected in suffering for our sakes, was but the tree of life; the death was but the birth throe of an eternal redemption; the earliest thrill of a regenera tive influence which shall not cease until evil has been for ever vanquished, and the kingdoms of this world have at last become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ.
