Each thing lives according to its kind; the heart by love, the intellect by truth, the higher nature of man by intimate communion with God.
Edwin Hubbel ChapinThe city reveals the moral ends of being, and sets the awful problem of life. The country soothes us, refreshes us, lifts us up with religious suggestion.
Edwin Hubbel ChapinHonor to the idealists, whether philosophers or poets. They have improved us by mingling with our daily pursuits great and transcendent conceptions. They have thrown around our sensual life the grandeur of a better, and drawn us up from contacts with the temporal and the selfish to communion with beauty and truth and goodness.
Edwin Hubbel ChapinIt is as bad to clip conscience as to clip coin; it is as bad to give a counterfeit statement as a counterfeit bill.
Edwin Hubbel ChapinAll evil, in fact the very existence of evil, is inexplicable until we refer to the paternity of God. It hangs a huge blot in the universe until the orb of divine love rises behind it. In that apposition we detect its meaning. It appears to us but a finite shadow as it passes across the disk of infinite light.
