When there is no offense I make no defense.

The Church must take right ground in regard to politics... Politics are a part of a religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to the country as part of their duty to God... God will bless or curse this nation, according to the course Christians take in politics.

A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.

When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city.

The end for which Christ lives, and for which He has left His church in the world, is the salvation of sinners.

If you do not make it a matter of study, how you may successfully act in building up the kingdom of Christ, you are acting a very wicked and absurd part as a Christian.

Unless I had the spirit of prayer, I could do nothing.
