"To 'fear God and keep his commandments', is 'the whole duty of man', and in that idea we have the foundation of all morality and all good. It is so simple that it seems almost an insult to human intelligence to labour the point, yet it has been so much neglected that even advocates of Christianity have followed secularists in trying to find another foundation for a more limited moral code, and the only other basis they can find is human fashion. If we desired to prepare to meet our fellow man, human fashion would be the best guide, but if we desire to prepare for that far higher society which will only admit those who are made partakers of the divine nature, our foundation must be the law of God." ~Conviction and Conduct, p.90
