Those who are devoted to amusements; who love the society of those who love pleasure, have an aversion to religious exercises.

Religion does not consist in making a noise, yet when the soul is filled with the Spirit of the Lord, sweet, heart-felt praise to God glorifies him.

Those who use tobacco, tea and coffee should lay these idols aside, and put their cost into the treasury of the Lord.

None are so sinful that they cannot find strength, purity, and righteousness in Jesus, who died for them.

There is not a point that needs to be dwelt upon more earnestly, repeated more frequently, or established more firmly in the minds of all than the impossibility of fallen man meriting anything by his own best good works. Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

All who in this world render true service to God or man receive a preparatory training in the school of sorrow. The weightier the trust and the higher the service, the closer is the test and the more severe the discipline.

Faith in the atonement and intercession of Christ will keep us steadfast and immovable amid the temptations that press upon us in the church militant.
