Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. Great faith must have great trials.

We are convinced that all of our race who die in infancy partake in the redemption wrought out by our Lord Jesus. Whatever some may think, we believe that the whole spirit and tone of the Word of God, as well as the nature of God Himself, lead us to believe that all who leave this world as babes are saved.

In heaven we shall see that we had not one trial too many.
