Work! work! that is my unfailing cure for all troubles.

But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later.

The cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows, and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word 'love'. It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life.

It is wonderful how shy even liberal ministers generally are about trusting people with the plain truth concerning their religion. They want to veil it in a supernatural haze. They are very reluctant to part with the old idea that God has given to Jews and Christians a peculiar monopoly of truth. It is a selfish view of God's government of the world, and it is time that we knew enough to outgrow it.

So easy it is to see the errors of past ages, so difficult to acknowledge our own!

I think we have reason to thank God for Abraham Lincoln. With all his deficiencies, it must be admitted that he has grown continually.

We first crush people to the earth, and then claim the right of trampling on them forever, because they are prostrate.
