If you want to warm a church, put a stove in the pulpit.

That Bible is read best, which is practised most.

Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

A trial is an instrument by which our Father in heaven makes Christians more holy.

Make it a part of every day's business to read and meditate on some portion of God's Word. Private means of grace are just as needful every day for our souls as food and clothing are for our bodies.

The fear of punishment, the desire of reward, the sense of duty, are all useful arguments, in their way, to persuade people to holiness. But they are all weak and powerless, until a person loves Christ.

Whatever you read, read the Bible first. Beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read.
