Excerpt from The New Christian Studies in Stewardship (Revised)

It is the thrilling truth that this generation is living at the dawn of a new and larger day. A new world is being born. In the past, revivals of religion have frequently accompanied world tragedies, but the aftermath is generally a letting down. To think of the stewardship revival that is now spreading over the world is to feel that God has providentially timed this movement, in order to furnish the spiritual dynamic for a continued forward push.

The Christian Stewardship Movement is fundamentally a call to the high decision to place God and the Kingdom first. Just as it required a world war to make evident what is a one hundred percent patriotism, so it is requiring the militant call of the Stewardship Movement in the various communions to furnish a generation of new Christians who will apprehend the vital relation between genuine Christianity and the consecration of property.

These Studies in Stewardship are written in the conviction that, if the Stewardship Revival is to lift the Church to a new and permanent level of spiritual life, it must be steered between the bald legalism, which can see in Christian stewardship nothing larger than the tithe, and the sophistry of the really insincere man who is ready to acknowledge only with words that "All that I have belongs to God."
