We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.

God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell!

Men to be truly won must be won by truth.

The assurance of every truth of Scripture is just the beauty of it. First because He has promised to do it; and God's promises are bonds that never yet were dishonored. Secondly, because Christ Jesus hath taken an oath that He will do it.
