Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes... The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility.

Two-thirds of all the strifes, quarrels, and lawsuits in the world arise from one simple cause-money.

Sin and the devil will always find helpers in our hearts.

Inability to distinguish doctrine is spreading far and wide, and so long as the preacher is "clever" and "earnest," hundreds seem to think it must be all right, and call you dreadfully "narrow and uncharitable" if you hint that he is unsound!

Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.

I must honestly declare my conviction that, since the days of the Reformation, there never has been so much profession of religion without practice, so much talking about God without walking with Him, so much hearing God's words without doing them.

There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.
