Not all the winds, and storms, and earthquakes, and seas, and seasons of the world, have done so much to revolutionize the earth as Man, the power of an endless life, has done since the day he came forth upon it, and received dominion over it.

Habits are to the soul what the veins and arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves

Trust in God for great things. With your five loaves and two fishes He will show you a way to feed thousands.

The resurrection morning is a true sun-rising, the inbursting of a cloudless sky on all the righteous dead. They wake transfigured, at their Maker's call, with the fashion of their countenance altered and shining like His own.

There never has been a great and beautiful character, which has not become so by filling well the ordinary and smaller offices appointed of God.

Feeble are we? Yes, without God we are nothing. But what, by faith, every man may be, God requires him to be. This is the only Christian idea of duty. Measure obligation by inherent ability! No, my brethren, Christian obligation has a very different measure. It is measured by the power that God will give us, measured by the gifts and possible increments of faith. And what a reckoning will it be for many of us, when Christ summons us to answer before Him under the law, not for what we are, but for what we might have been.

Live as with God; and, whatever be your calling, pray for the gift that will perfectly qualify you in it.
