Seeking to perpetuate one's name on earth is like writing on the sand by the seashore; to be perpetual it must be written on eternal shores.

God had one Son without sin, but He never had a son without trial.

It may be that at this moment every battlement of heaven is alive with the redeemed. There is a sainted mother watching for her daughter.

And are there none whom you promised once to meet again, if not on earth, in heaven?

The dying boy said: " Father, don't you weep for me; when I get to heaven I will go straight to Jesus and tell Him that ever since I can remember you have tried to lead me to Him." I would rather have my children say that of me after I am gone; or if they die before me, I would rather they should take that message to the Master than to have a monument over me reaching to the skies.
