I believe there is no liturgy in the world, either in ancient or modern language, which breathes more of a solid, scriptural, rational piety, than the Common Prayer of the Church of England. And though the main of it was compiled considerably more than two hundred years ago, yet is the language of it, not only pure, but strong and elegant in the highest degree.

A sour religion is the devil's religion.

God is so great that He communicates greatness to the least thing that is done for His service.

Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.

Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity: one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.

Bear up the hands that hang down, by faith and prayer; support the tottering knees. Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and persevere therein, and mercy will come down.

As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.
