Faith is not a blind thing; for faith begins with knowledge. It is not a speculative thing; for faith believes facts of which it is sure. It is not an unpractical, dreamy thing; for faith trusts, and stakes its destiny upon the truth of revelation.

It is a terribly easy matter to be a minister of the gospel and a vile hypocrite at the same time.

Sincere repentance is continual. Believers repent until their dying day. This dropping well is not intermittent.

Prayer is not a hard requirement - it is the natural duty of a creature to its creator, the simplest homage that human need can pay to divine liberality.

He who climbs above the cares of this world, and turns his face to his God, has found the sunny side of life.

Nothing is so sweet as to lie passive in God's hands, and know no will but His.

To Christ we are to be always coming; upon Him always relying; to His precious blood always looking.
