Tears are a tribute to our deceased friends. When the body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope; for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves.
None so blind, so deaf, as those that will not hear, that will not see.
Those that go gold into the furnace will come out no worse.
He whose head is in heaven need not fear to put his feet into the grave.
The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.
There is a burden of care in getting riches; fear in keeping them; temptation in using them; guilt in abusing them; sorrow in losing them; and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.
