“One of the great tragedies of life is that [we] seldom bridge the gulf between practice and profession, between doing and saying. A persistent schizophrenia leaves so many of us tragically divided against ourselves.On the one hand, we proudly profess certain sublime and noble principles, but on the other hand, we sadly practice the very antithesis of those principles…

This strange dichotomy, this agonizing gulf between the ought and the is, represents the tragic theme of our earthly pilgrimage.

But in the life of Jesus we find that the gulf is bridged.”
