I am not superstitious, but the first time I saw this medal, bearing the venerated likeness of John Calvin, I kissed it, imagining that no one saw the action. I was very greatly surprised when I received this magnificent present, which shall be passed round for your inspection. On the one side is John Calvin with his visage worn by disease and deep thought, and on the other side is a verse fully applicable to him: 'He endured, as seeing Him who is invisible.'

We often forget that the author of our faith must be the finisher of it also.

My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.

If it does not glorify Christ, let it not console or please you.

The love of Jesus is the source of salvation. He loves, he looks, he touches us, we live.

Suffering times are a Christian's harvest time.

A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
