The Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible is the religion of Christ's church.

Beloved Friends, we may well continue to praise God, for our God continues to give us causes for praise!

Before you can teach children, you must get the silver key of kindness to unlock their hearts, and so secure their attention.

Do you resolve to do the right and to love the true, depend upon it you will get no assistance from this world. Of its maxims, nine out of ten are false, and the other one selfish; and even that which is selfish has a lie at the bottom of it.

Do you find it difficult to forgive one who has wronged you? Then you will find it difficult to get to heaven.

I will say broadly that I have more confidence in the spiritual life of the children that I have received into this church than I have in the, spiritual condition of the adults thus received. I will even go further than that, and say that I have usually found a clearer knowledge of the gospel and a warmer love of Christ in the child-converts than in the man-converts. I will even astonish you still more by saying that I have sometimes met with a deeper spiritual experience in children of ten and twelve than I have in certain persons of fifty and sixty.

It is the burning lava of the soul that has a furnace within--a very volcano of grief and sorrow-it is that burning lava of prayer that finds its way to God. No prayer ever reaches God's heart which does not come from our hearts.
