If A Man Harbors Any

Men Judge Of Christians By Taking As Fair Samples Those That Lie Rotten On The Ground.

It Is Defeat That Turns Bone To Flint, Gristle To Muscle, And Makes Men Invincible.

Many People Are Afraid To Embrace Religion, For Fear They Shall Not Succeed In Maintaining It.

Astronomers Have Built Telescopes Which Can Show Myriads Of Stars Unseen Before; But When A Man Looks Through A Tear In His Own Eye, That Is A Lens Which Opens Reaches Into The Unknown, And Reveals Orbs Which No Telescope, However Skilfully Constructed, Could Do.

If God But Cares For Our Inward And Eternal Life, If By All The Experiences Of This Life He Is Reducing It And Preparing For Its Disclosure, Nothing Can Befall Us But Prosperity. Every Sorrow Shall Be But The Setting Of Some Luminous Jewel Of Joy. Our Very Morning Shall Be But The Enamel Around The Diamond; Our Very Hardships But The Metallic Rim That Holds The Opal, Glancing With Strange Interior Fires.
