I have rightfully no other business each day but to do God's work as a servant, constantly regarding His pleasure. May I have grace to live above every human motive, simply with God and to God.

Now let me burn out for God.

It has always happened hitherto that whenever I have begun to feel an attachment to places, persons, or things, of a merely temporary nature, I have been carried away from them. Amen! May I live as a stranger and pilgrim upon the earth. May we be brought to that better country where painful changes are known no more.

How or by what magic is it, that we convey our thoughts to one another with such case and accuracy?

The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become.

The power of gentleness is irresistible.

I see no business in life but the work of Christ.
