WHEN CHRIST, IN A SYMBOLIC MOMENT, ESTABLISHED HIS GREAT SOCIETY, HE CHOSE AS ITS CORNERSTONE NEITHER THE BRILLIANT PAUL NOR THE MYSTIC JOHN, BUT A DECEIVER, AN ARROGANT AND A COWARD—IN A WORD, A MAN. AND ON THIS ROCK HE BUILT HIS CHURCH, AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL. ALL EMPIRES AND KINGDOMS WILL FALL AWAY, THROUGH THE INHERENT AND CONTINUING WEAKNESS OF HAVING BEEN BUILT UPON STRONG MEN. BUT THAT WHICH IS UNIQUE, THE HISTORIC CHRISTIAN CHURCH, WAS BUILT UPON A WEAK MAN, AND FOR THAT REASON IT IS INDESTRUCTIBLE. FOR NO CHAIN IS STRONGER THAN ITS WEAKEST LINK.
