Our Very Business Is To

We Must Feel Toward Our People As A Father Toward His Children; Yea, The Most Tender Love Of A Mother Must Not Surpass Ours. We Must Even Travail In Birth, Till Christ Be Formed In Them. They Should See That We Care For No Outward Thing, Neither Liberty, Nor Honor, Nor Life, In Comparison To Their Salvation... When The People See That You Truly Love Them, They Will Hear Anything From You...oh Therefore, See That You Feel A Tender Love For Your People In Your Hearts, And Let Them Perceive It In Your Speech And Conduct. Let Them See That You Spend And Are Spent For Their Sakes.

This Is The Sanctification Of Your Studies: When They Are Devoted To God, And When He Is The End, The Object, And The Life Of Them All.

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.

You Will Cast Away Your Cards And Dice When You Find The Sweetness Of Youthful Learning.

Our Very Business Is To Teach The Great Lesson Of Self-denial And Humility To Our People, And How Unfit Is It Then That We Should Be Proud Ourselves!
