Instead of crushing the power of evil by divine force; instead of compelling justice and destroying the wickd; instead of making peace on earth by the rule of a perfect prince; instead of gathering the children of Jerusalem under His wings whether they would or not, and saving them from the horrors that anguished His prophetic soul - He let evil work its will while it lived; He contented Himself with the slow unencouraging ways of help essential; making men good; casting out, not merely controlling Satan...

To love righteousness is to make it grow, not to avenge it... He resisted every impulse to work more rapidly for a lower good.
