“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen…”
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
CIRCUMSTANCES
“True, circumstances do make the man.’
But they make him only in the sense and degree
that he permits them to make him.”

Thanks for this quote from G.D. Boardman. I wasn’t familiar with the name, so I googled it and found the respective Wiki article, link below. I see Boardman was pastor of the Second Baptist Church here in Rochester, N.Y. SBCR was later renamed Baptist Temple, which I wrote a post about (link father below). Boardman was an advocate of the social gospel movement, which was spearheaded by another Rochesterian, Walter Rauschenbusch.
