When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.

The word of God tends to make large-minded noble-minded men.

O Lord God, we pray that we may be inspired to nobleness of life in the least things. May we dignify all our daily life. May we set such a sacredness upon every part of our life, that nothing shall be trivial, nothing unimportant, and nothing dull, in the daily round.

Law represents the effort of man to organize society; governments, the efforts of selfishness to overthrow liberty.

Thou, Everlasting Strength, hast set Thyself forth to bear our burdens. May we bear Thy cross, and bearing that; find there is nothing else to bear; and touching that cross, find that instead of taking away our strength, it adds thereto. Give us faith for darkness, for trouble, for sorrow, for bereavement, for disappointment; give us a faith that will abide though the earth itself should pass away--a faith for living, a faith for dying.

Sorrow is Mount Sinai. If one will, one may go up and talk with God, face to face.

There is no slave out of heaven like a loving woman; and of all loving women, there is no such slave as a mother.
