If the gospel be not preached, Jesus Christ is, as it were, buried.

The principle exercise which the children of god have is to pray. For in this way they give true proof of their faith.

True faith is ever connected with hope.

The one condition for spiritual progress is that we remain sincere and humble.

Concerning our Lord Jesus Christ, we must also be aware that he is our Advocate, and that without him we cannot approach God.

Let us consider this settled, that no one has made progress in the school of Christ who does not joyfully await the day of death and final resurrection.

To be pure in heart is to take no delight in cunning, but converse sincerely with men, and express nothing, by word or look, which is not felt in the heart.
