Going out into life--that is dying. Christ is the door out of life.

Human life is God's outer church. Its needs and urgencies are priests and pastors.

Many will say, "I can find God without the help of the Bible, or church, or minister." Very well. Do so if you can. The Ferry Company would feel no jealousy of a man who should prefer to swim to New York. Let him do so if he is able, and we will talk about it on the other shore; but probably trying to swim would be the thing that would bring him quickest to the boat. So God would have no jealousy of a man's going to heaven without the aid of the Bible, or church, or minister; but let him try to do so, and it will be the surest way to bring him back to them for assistance.

We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning.

A man that has lost moral sense is like a man in battle with both of his legs shot off: he has nothing to stand on.

Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the common people.

When men enter into the state of marriage, they stand nearest to God.
