The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.

We shall come one day to a heaven where we shall gratefully know that God's great refusals were sometimes the true answers to our truest prayer.

It is possible to be so active in the service of Christ as to forget to love him.

The local church is the outcrop of the church universal.

The Living God alone can make us living men; the mighty God alone can make us mighty men; the loving God alone can make us consecrated men.

The greatest element in life is not what occupies most of its time, else sleep would stand high in the scale. Nor is it what engrosses most of its thought, else money would be very high. The two or three hours of worship and preaching weekly has perhaps been the greatest signal influence on English life. Half an hour of prayer, morning or evening, every day, may be a greater element in shaping our course than all our conduct and all our thought.

To have no loyalty is to have no dignity, and in the end, no manhood.
