Was it not most meet that a woman should first see the risen Saviour? She was first in the transgression; let her be first in the justification. In yon garden she was first to work our wo; let her in that other garden be the first to see Him who works our weal. She takes first the apple of that bitter tree which brings us all our sorrow; let her be the first to see the Mighty Gardener, who has planted a tree which brings forth fruit unto everlasting life.

Birds sing on a bare bough; O, believer, canst not thou?

Above all I commend the study of Christ. Let Him be your library.

There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it; the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen; and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree.

If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.

Conversion is a turning onto the right road. The next thing to do is to walk on it.
