The Streams Of Religion Run

In Order To The Attaining Of All Useful Knowledge This Is Most Necessary, That We Fear God; We Are Not Qualified To Profit By The Instructions That Are Given Us Unless Our Minds Be Possessed With A Holy Reverence Of God, And Every Thought Within Us Be Brought Into Obedience To Him.... As All Our Knowledge Must Take Rise From The Fear Of God, So It Must Tend To It As Its Perfection And Centre. Those Know Enough Who Know How To Fear God, Who Are Careful In Every Thing To Please Him And Fearful Of Offending Him In Any Thing; This Is The Alpha And Omega Of Knowledge.

The Fear Of God Reigning In The Heart Is The Beauty Of The Soul.

For Love Is Of God. He Is The Fountain, Author, Parent, And Commander Of Love; It Is The Sum Of His Law And Gospel.

Earth Is Embittered To Us, That Heaven May Be Endeared.

It Is Our Duty Not To Not Only Hold Fast, But To Hold Forth The Word Of Life; Not Only To Hold Fast For Our Own Benefit, But To Hold It Forth For The Benefit Of Others, To Hold It Forth As The Candlestick Holds Forth The Candle, Which Makes It Appear To Advantage All Around, Or As The Luminaries Of The Heavens, Which Shed Their Influences Far And Wide.
