Kirby Page"We must not expect too much from legislation, social service with the masses, or even preaching of the Gospel to large congregations. All of these have their advantages, but they also have their limitations. Nothing can adequately take the place of personal effort with individuals."
Kirby Page (1890–1957) was an American Disciples of Christ minister, an author, and a peace activist.
"War is method. War is atrocity. War is wholesale falsehood. War is the practice of military necessity. War is the utter denial of the spirit and example of Jesus."
"The war method includes falsehood as an integral part. Truth is indeed a casualty of war."
"The religion of Jesus begins and ends in the home. All life is a domestic affair. The universal family embraces every race and tongue. Mans primary purpose is to establish the Family of God... The way to create Gods home is to live every day as a good member of the family. Only those ends are worthy which are consonant with the family spirit and only those methods are justifiable which are appropriate in the home."
"Jesus was a radical on race questions. He treated men of every color and tongue as sons of a common Father and therefore brothers beloved. In His sight all men are of inherent and inestimable value. ...Jesus also disregarded the rigid class lines of his day."
"You cannot always tell what a man is by looking at him. What he appears to be and what he really is may be radically different. The appearance of a man today does not always reveal what he will be tomorrow."
"The earliest authority was the word of the strongest warrior, the head of the family or the tribe, the medicine man or the witch doctor."
