Quotable Quotes from Lloyd C. Douglas
From an article entitled, “That 100th Sheep,” published in The Lutheran Observer, July 6, 1906.
(A word of advice: read this passage a phrase at a time, pausing just as you would if you were reading it from the pulpit.)
A religion must now be taught that means more than Sunday and solemnity and hymn-books and the church confession; something vital, virile, living, to be harnessed to every day of the week; not an ideality, not a theory, not a multiplication of complexities; but a seven-day-in-the-week affair that can be passed over the counter in the store and through the wicket at the bank and along the keen-edged tools in the shop. A Gospel must be preached whose warp will stand the strain of being woven into the woof of every-day living on the slow-plodding loom of human experience; and any other doctrine than this will not make the church evangelical, or assist in the restoration of That One-Hundredth Sheep.
