| The Shaping of a Disciple by Dale Martin Stone When God wants to drill a man, And thrill a man, and skill a man, When God wants to mold a man To play the noblest part, When He yearns with all His heart To build so great and bold a man That all the world shall be amazed, Then watch God's methods, watch his ways! How He ruthlessly perfects Whom He royally elects; How He hammers him and hurts him, And with mighty blows converts him, Making shapes and forms which only God Himself can understand, Even while His man is crying, Lifting a beseeching hand ... Yet God bends but never breaks When man's good He undertakes; When He uses whom He chooses, And with every purpose fuses Man to act, and act to man, As it was when He began; When God tries His splendor out, Man will know what He's about! |

| William Barclay on John's later writings: "His tendency was to look back and to hold on to what had been achieved. The tendency of youth is to look forward and to think rather of the adventure of the future than the achievement of the past. It is when they are joined together in a perfect marriage, the spirit which values the past and spirit which hears the summons to new ways, that the Church is at its strongest and most effective (p. 103)." |
