What we mean by sentimentalism is that state in which a man speaks deep and true sentiments not because he feels them strongly, but because he perceives that they are beautiful, and that it is touching and fine to say them,-things which he fain would feel, and fancies that he does feel.

To believe is to be strong. Doubt cramps energy. Belief is power.

By experience; by a sense of human frailty; by a perception of "the soul of goodness in things evil;" by a cheerful trust in human nature; by a strong sense of God's love; by long and disciplined realization of the atoning love of Christ; only thus can we get a free, manly, large, princely spirit of forgiveness.

Every natural longing has its natural satisfaction. If we thirst, God has created liquids to gratify thirst. If we are susceptible of attachment, there are beings to gratify that love. If we thirst for life and love eternal, it is likely that there are an eternal life and an eternal love to satisfy that craving.

This world is given as a prize for the men in earnest; and that which is true of this world is truer still of the world to come.

God's justice and love are one. Infinite justice must be infinite love. Justice is but another sign of love.

This world is given as the prize for the men in earnest; and that which is true of this world, is truer still of the world to come.
