God in his infinite mercy has devised a way by which justice can be satisfied, and yet mercy can be triumphant.

Of the seven days God gave to us in a week, He said to take six, and use them for our business. Yet we think that we must have the seventh as well. It is like someone who, while traveling, comes upon a poor man in distress. Having but seven shillings, the generous person gives the poor man six, but when the wretch scrambles to his feet, he follows his benefactor to knock him down and steal the seventh shilling from him.

Grace does not choose a man and leave him as he is.

Be sure, whatever you leave out, that you teach the children the three R’s,-Ruin, Redemption, and Regeneration.
