While doubt cannot be expelled, it can be subdued.

While doubt cannot be expelled, it can be subdued.

Nothing can be rightly known, if God be not known; nor is any study well managed, nor to any great purpose, if God is not studied. We know little of the creature, till we know it as it stands related to the Creator.

If life be long, I will be glad, Tthat I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad, To soar to endless day?

O what a blessed day that will be when I shall . . . stand on the shore and look back on the raging seas I have safely passed; when I shall review my pains and sorrows, my fears and tears, and possess the glory which was the end of all!

Once more consider, there is nothing, but heaven, worth setting our hearts upon.

I must confess, as the experience of my own soul, that the expectation of loving my friends in heaven principally kindles my love to them while on earth.
