Have your heart right with Christ, and he will visit you often, and so turn weekdays into Sundays, meals into sacraments, homes into temples, and earth into heaven.

Soul-winning is the chief business of the Christian minister; it should be the main pursuit of every true believer.

Nothing is improved by anger, unless it be the arch of a cat's back. A man with his back up is spoiling his figure. People look none the handsomer for being red in the face.

Darkness is the fit hour for beasts of prey, and ignorance the natural dwelling place of cruelty.
