You may not be able to leave your children a great inheritance, but day by day you may be weaving coats for them which they will wear through all eternity.

Never despair of a child. The one you weep the most for at the mercy-seat may fill your heart with the sweetest joys.

Conversion by the Holy Spirit is a spiritual illumination of the soul. God's grace lights up the dark heart. And when a man has once been kindled at the cross of Christ, he is bound to shine.

Sufficient to each day are the duties to be done and the trials to be endured. God never built a Christian strong enough to carry today's duties and tomorrow's anxieties piled on the top of them.

Oh, be assured, fellow teachers, that there is no time in life so favorable to sound conversion as early childhood.

It is the easiest thing in the world for us to obey God when He commands us to do what we like, and to trust Him when the path is all sunshine. The real victory of faith is to trust God in the dark, and through the dark. Let us be assured of this, that if the lesson and the rod are of His appointing, and that His all-wise love has engineered the deep tunnel of trial on the heavenward road, He will never desert us during the discipline. The vital thing for us is not to deny and desert Him.

You may not be able to leave your children a great inheritance, but day by day you may be weaving coats for them which they will wear through all eternity.
