We must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.

Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.

Fruitful and acceptable worship begins before it begins.

The gospel is not speculation but fact. It is truth, because it is the record of a person who is the Truth.

Every life has dark tracts and long stretches of somber tint, and no representation is true to fact which dips its pencil only in light, and flings no shadows on the canvas.

Do not let the loud utterances of your own wills anticipate, nor drown, the still, small voice in which God speaks. Bridle impatience till He does. If you cannot hear His whisper, wait till you do. Take care of running before you are sent. Keep your wills in equipoise till God's hand gives the impulse and direction.

The hand that holds the seven stars is as loving as the hand that was laid in blessing upon the little children; the face that is as the sun shining in its strength beams with as much love as when it drew publicans and harlots to His feet. The breast that is girt with the golden girdle is the same breast upon which John leaned his happy head.
