The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.

The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.

Did any of you, parents, ever hear your child wake from sleep with some panic fear and shriek the mother's name through the darkness? Was not that a more powerful appeal than all words? And, depend upon it, that the soul which cries aloud on God, "the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ," though it have "no language but a cry," will never call in vain.

Let the current of your being set towards God, then your life will be filled and calmed by one master-passion which unites and stills the soul.

That which of all things unfits man for the reception of Christ as a Savior, is not gross profligacy and outward, vehement transgression, but it is self-complacency, fatal self-righteousness and self-sufficiency.

You cannot put patience and experience into a parenthesis, and, omitting them, bring hope out of tribulation.

I am satisfied, for I awake in Thy likeness.
