The passing of the years awakens in our hearts the cry for permanence.

We must be still before God.

How many of us, who are engaged in the Lord's holy service, are secretly cherishing some proud purpose of excelling other men, of making a name, of securing money and applause.

Though justification costs us nothing but the sacrifice of our pride, it has cost Christ His blood.

Go on day by day fulfilling the task of the day, and leaving the results with God.

He is the richest man in the esteem of the world who has gotten the most. He is the richest man in the esteem of Heaven who has given the most.

God incarnate is the end of fear; and the heart that realizes that, realizes that he is in the midst, that takes heed to the assurance of his loving presence, will be quiet in the midst of alarm.
