"Not in freedom from trial, but in the midst of it is Christian character developed. Exposure to rebuffs and opposition leads the follower of Christ to greater watchfulness and more earnest prayer to the mighty Helper. Severe trial endured by the grace of God develops patience, vigilance, fortitude and a deep and abiding trust in God. It is the triumph of the Christian faith that enables its followers to suffer and be strong; to submit and thus to conquer; to be killed all the day long, and yet to live; to bear the cross, and thus to win the crown of glory."
