He gives me the impression of one who has passed through a crisis of revolution.

He tells me this revolution is simply a new definition of Christian discipleship.

He certainly has changed many of his old habits and many of his old views.

His attitude on the saloon question is radically opposite to the one he entertained a year ago.
And in his entire thought of the ministry, his pulpit and parish work, I find he has made a complete change.

So far as I can understand, the idea that is moving him on now is the idea that the Christianity of our times must represent a more literal imitation of Jesus, and especially in the element of suffering.
