We are not responsible to God for the soul that are saved, but we are responsible for the Gospel that is preached, and for the way in which we preach it

Wash your face every morning in a bath of praise.

One of the most modern pretenders to inspiration is the Book of Mormon. I could not blame you should you laugh outright while I read aloud a page from that farrago.

God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.

Was it not most meet that a woman should first see the risen Saviour? She was first in the transgression; let her be first in the justification. In yon garden she was first to work our wo; let her in that other garden be the first to see Him who works our weal. She takes first the apple of that bitter tree which brings us all our sorrow; let her be the first to see the Mighty Gardener, who has planted a tree which brings forth fruit unto everlasting life.
