If we be married to Christ, and He be jealous of us, depend upon it this jealous husband will let none touch His spouse.

It would be easy to show that at our present rate of progress the kingdoms of this world never could become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. Indeed, many in the Church are giving up the idea of it except on the occasion of the advent of Christ, which, as it chimes in with our own idleness, is likely to be a popular doctrine. I myself believe that King Jesus will reign, and the idols be utterly abolished. . . . The Holy Ghost would never suffer the imputation to rest upon His holy name that He was not able to convert the world.

Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.

The fact is, brethren, we must have conversion work here. We cannot go on as some churches do without converts. We cannot, we will not, we must not, we dare not. Souls must be converted here, and if there be not many born to Christ, may the Lord grant to me that I may sleep in the tomb and be heard no more. Better indeed for us to die than to live, if souls be not saved.

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.

Patience, then, believer, eternity will right the wrongs of time.

Conversion is a turning onto the right road. The next thing to do is to walk on it.
