"We live, it is evident, in a time of hostility, when the church is imperiled not only by an external worldliness, but by one that has established itself within the Christian camp. Our position is inside a church which has been on the retreat and which has made compromises with the enemy in thought, in organization and in discipline....Only a new withdrawal followed by a new aggression can save the church and restore to it the salt with which to savor society."
