It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will come to an end.

The marvel of heaven and earth, of time and eternity, is the atoning death of Jesus Christ. This is the mystery that brings more glory to God than all creation.

God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.

When it can be proved that the observance of Christmas, Whitsuntide, and other Popish festivals was ever instituted by a divine statute, we also will attend to them, but not till then. It is as much our duty to reject the traditions of men, as to observe the ordinances of the Lord. We ask concerning every rite and rubric, "Is this a law of the God of Jacob?" and if it be not clearly so, it is of no authority with us, who walk in Christian liberty.

Alas, if our children lose the crown of life, it will be but a small consolation that they have won the laurels of literature or art.

I believe that much of the secret of soul-winning lies in having bowels of compassion, in having spirits that can be touched with the feeling of human infirmities.

We know that God's being is perfect, His essence infinite, His dominion absolute, His power unlimited, and His glory transcendent.
