Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren.

Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.

There is a common, worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough-a cheap Christianity which offends nobody, and requires no sacrifice-which costs nothing, and is worth nothing.

A zealous man feels that like a lamp he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him. Such a one will always find a sphere for his zeal. If he cannot preach and work and give money, he will cry and sigh and pray.

We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him.

Let it be a settled principle in our minds that the first and chief business of the Church of Christ is to preach the Gospel.

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