Prayer is the mightiest weapon that God has placed in our hands.

Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.

A good conscience will be found a pleasant visitor at our bedside in a dying hour.

To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.

Sicknesses, losses, crosses, anxieties and disappointments seem absolutely needful to keep us humble, watchful and spiritual-minde d. They are as needful as the pruning knife to the vine and the refiner’s furnace to the gold.

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

Parents, do you wish to see your children happy? Take care, then, that you train them to obey when they are spoken to, -to do as they are bid.... Teach them to obey while young, or else they will be fretting against God all their lives long, and wear themselves out with the vain idea of being independent of His control.
