“Let me be in this world but not of it:
Let me be as having nothing yet possessing all things:
Let me understand the vanity of the temporal and the glory of the eternal:
Let my world be centered not in myself but in Thee.”
John Baillie (1886-1960), Scottish Theologian and Divinity Professor at the University of Edinburgh in All the Saints Adore Thee: Insights from Christian Classics by Bruce Shelley (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1988) 260.
