The strongest argument in favor of the gospel is a loving and lovable Christian.

Abstemiousness in diet and control of the passions, will preserve the intellect and give mental and moral vigor, enabling men to bring all their propensities under the control of the higher powers, and to discern between right and wrong, the sacred and the common.

Moderate exercise every day will impart strength to the muscles, which without exercise become flabby and enfeebled.

Next to the Bible, nature is to be our great lesson book.

We are not our own. We do not belong to ourselves. But we have been purchased with a dear price. We have cost an immense sum, even the sufferings and death of the Son of God.

We need no fanciful teaching regarding the personality of God. What God desires us to know of Him is revealed in His word and His works. The beautiful things of nature reveal His character and His power as Creator.

God's promises are all on condition of humble obedience.
