It is well said that neglected prayer is the birth-place of all evil.

Lord, let me find my life in thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.

Fiery trials make golden Christians.

When you think of what you are, and despair; think also of what He is, and take heart.

I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.

Money gained on Sabbath-day is a loss, I dare to say. No blessing can come with that which comes to us, on the devil's back, by our willful disobedience of God's law. The loss of health by neglect of rest, and the loss of soul by neglect of hearing the gospel, soon turn all seeming profit into real loss.

Prayer is an art which only the Spirit can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer.
