The fact is, brethren, we must have conversion work here. We cannot go on as some churches do without converts. We cannot, we will not, we must not, we dare not. Souls must be converted here, and if there be not many born to Christ, may the Lord grant to me that I may sleep in the tomb and be heard no more. Better indeed for us to die than to live, if souls be not saved.

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.

Come my, heart, up and away!

There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can; we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.

We must remember that the GOAL of prayer is the ear of God. Unless that is gained, the prayer has utterly failed. The uttering of it may have kindled devotional feeling in our minds, the hearing of it may have comforted and strengthened the hearts of those with whom we have prayed, but if the prayer has not gained the heart of God, it has failed in its essential purpose.

The greatest joy of a Christian is to give joy to Christ.

Is it not a sad thing that after all Christ's love to us, we should repay it with lukewarm love to Him?
