The Music Of The Gospel

He (god) Never Comes To Those Who Do Not Wait.

There Is A Great Deal Of Self-will In The World, But Very Little Genuine Independence Of Character.

We Must Remember That If All The Manifestly Good Men Were On One Side And All The Manifestly Bad Men On The Other, There Would Be No Danger Of Anyone, Least Of All The Elect, Being Deceived By Lying Wonders. It Is The Good Men, Good Once, We Must Hope Good Still, Who Are To Do The Work Of Anti-christ And So Sadly To Crucify The Lord Afresh.... Bear In Mind This Feature Of The Last Days, That This Deceitfulness Arises From Good Men Being On The Wrong Side.

Happiness Is A Great Power Of Holiness. Thus, Kind Words, By Their Power Of Producing Happiness, Have Also A Power Of Producing Holiness, And So Of Winning Men To God.

Now This Spirit Is Admirably Mortified By The Exercise Of Patience. It Involves Also A Continual Practice Of The Presence Of God; For We May Be Come Upon At Any Moment For An Almost Heroic Display Of Good Temper. It Is A Short Road To Unselfishness; For Nothing Is Left To Self. All That Seems To Belong Most Intimately To Self, To Be Self's Private Property, Such As Time, Home, And Rest, Are Invaded By These Continual Trials Of Patience.
