The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues, but to be seen in our lives.

Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.

True Christian is not an angel; he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.

The true Christian delights to read the Scriptures, because they tell him about his beloved Savior.

Good hymns are an immense blessing to the Church. They train people for heaven, where praise is one of the principal occupations.

It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.

Another real danger to young men is thoughtlessness and lack of consideration. Lack of thought is one simple reason why thousands of souls are cast away forever. Men will not consider,-will not look forward,-will not look around them,-will not reflect on the end of their present course, and the sure consequences of their present ways,-and awake at last to find they are damned for lack of thinking.
