Christ's sacrifice stands in glorious proportions with the work to be done. Nothing else or less would suffice. It is a work supernatural, transacted in the plane of nature; and what but such a work could restore the broken order of the soul under evil?

It is only Christianity, the great bond of love and duty to God, that makes any existence valuable or even tolerable.

Persecution has not crushed it, power has not beaten it back, time has not abated its force, and, what is most wonderful of all, the abuses and treasons of its friends have not shaken its stability.

It is the grand endeavor of the gospel to communicate God to men.

Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.

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

It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience.
