"I now think that this striving, effort, longing, hoping for better days to come, is not the true way to happiness, holiness or usefulness… Abiding, not striving nor struggling; looking off unto Him; trusting Him for present power; trusting Him to subdue all inward corruption; resting in the love of an almighty Saviour, in the conscious joy of a complete salvation, a salvation "from all sin"… willing that His will should truly be supreme…"
— John McCarthy
