If I had not felt certain that every additional trial was ordered by infinite love and mercy, I could not have survived my accumulated suffering.

We prefer one room in Rangoon to six in Boston. We feel that we are highly blessed.

Let me beg you, not to rest contented with the commonplace religion that is now so prevalent.

If God gave light and wisdom, the religion of Jesus was soon learned; but without God, a man might study all his life long, and make no proficiency.

I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything but it came at some time; no matter at how distant a day, somehow, in some shape, probably the least I would have devised, it came.

Thanks be to God, not--only for 'rivers of endless joys above, but for 'rills of comfort here below.'

God loves importunate prayer so much that He will not give us much blessing without it.
