It is not always those who have the most eminent gifts who are the most successful laborers for God. It is generally those who keep up closest communion with Christ and are most constant in prayer.

It is not hard to deceive ministers, relatives and friends. But it is impossible to deceive Christ.

We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.

It is easy to criticize and find fault with the conduct of kings, and write furious articles against them in newspapers, or make violent speeches about them on platforms. Any fool can rip and rend a costly garment, but not every man can cut out and make one. To expect perfection in kings, prime ministers, or rulers of any king, is senseless and unreasonable. We would exhibit more wisdom if we prayed for them more, and criticized less.

God has linked holiness and happiness; and what God has joined together we must not think to put asunder.
