Anybody can find fault. The last hymn book introduced great change and made large omissions."

"You may look for a calm summary of the Scriptural teaching on “Life Eternal” in the November B. T. as I trust; then in December the Raven denial fully proved; and perhaps in January its entire contradiction by J. N. D. This by grace should awaken some consciences."
- Postcard to Mr John Cox (Login Required) by William Kelly (22nd Nov 1901)
"I trust you find “Life Eternal” a satisfactory paper on an important theme where even J.N.D. left much to be desired. It is expressly uncontroversial as for general edification where most are vague, and to be a basis for the exposure of Raven on this subject in the B. T. for months, and a separate large pamphlet, beside this separate tract. Nobody will say that I spare the fatal error, though they may falsely impute acrimony. This I disclaim."

Well, if they are only saved from “Fatal error” as J. N. D. called it when only in the germ, or from making light of it, I do not mind what he said of me. But I have a good deal more to say before having done; and all will reappear in a pamphlet, I hope."
