"The Lord reigns: we affirm it boldly. Our Lord Jesus Christ is reigning, and he is Lord of all: nothing can touch his authority. It is spiritual forces that are out to destroy his interests in China and Japan. Therefore, we do not pray for China, we do not pray for Japan, but we pray for the interests of thy son in China and in Japan. we do not blame any men, for they are only tools in the hand of thine enemy. We stand for thy will. Shatter, O Lord, the kingdom of darkness, for the persecutions of thy church are wounding thee. Amen" - The Keswick Convention 1938, London, p. 245
