It is very fine to talk about Christian socialism and what you are going to do for the poor - but what have you done?

* "Some of us may have passed away, but you who are younger may live to see modern thought obtain supremacy over human minds: German rationalism which has ripened into Socialism may yet pollute the mass of mankind and lead them to overturn the foundations of society." - [[The Headstone of the Corner]], June 23, 1878

* "The next thing, dear friends, is that we must prove that ''the old faith produces much love of our fellow men''. You know that, nowadays, the watchword is, "the enthusiasm of humanity." It is a curious thing that those churches that have such a wonderful "enthusiasm of humanity" speak of us as if we were always talking of God and forgetting men. Well, well, which of these new-fangled churches has an orphanage? It is very fine to talk about Christian socialism and what you are going to do for the poor - but what have you done? Much of it is just chatter, chatter and nothing else! But the godly, who feel that God is all, are, after all, those who care most for men. And those who believe most firmly that the unbelieving sinner will be lost are the men who are most anxious to have him saved!" - Dare to Be a Daniel, January 15, 1893<ref>[http://www.spurgeongems.org/vols37-39/chs2291.pdf Dare to Be a Daniel]</ref>
