A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.

If you train your children to anything, train them, at least, to a habit of prayer.

Hearken, my believing reader. What is the cause of your weakness? Is it not because the fountain of life is little used? Is it not because you are resting on old experiences, and not daily gathering new manna—daily drawing new strength from Christ?

The true cure for self-righteousness is self-knowledge.

What is the cause of most backslidings? I believe, as a general rule, one of the chief causes is neglect of private prayer.

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

Nothing so hardens the heart of man as a barren familiarity with sacred things.
