The joys of heaven will surely compensate for the sorrows of earth.

The Christian life is very much like climbing a hill of ice. You cannot slide up, nay, you have to cut every step with an ice axe; only with incessant labor in cutting and chipping can you make any progress... If you want to know how to backslide, leave off going forward. Cease going upward and you will go downward of necessity. You can never stand still.

The Providence of God is the great protector of our life and usefulness, and under the divine care we are perfectly safe from danger.

All the hope of our ministry lies in the Spirit of God operating on the spirits of men.

Nothing can be more sublime this side of heaven than the singing of this noble Psalm by a vast congregation. It is all ablaze with grateful adoration.

You cannot have Christ, if you will not serve Him.

The world will never be converted to God unitl Christians cry less and laugh and sing more.
