The reign of tears is over. The slums will soon be only a memory. We will turn our prisons into factories and our jails into storehouses and comcribs. Men will walk upright now, women will smile, and the children will laugh. Hell will be forever for rent.

The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow.

You might as well try and dam Niagara Falls with toothpicks as to stop the reform wave sweeping our land.

I pity anyone who can't laugh. There must be something wrong with their religion or their lives. The devil can't laugh.

A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!

What have you given the world it never possessed before you came?
