To Turn Water Into Wine,

Brethren, Happiness Is Not Our Being's End And Aim. The Christian's Aim Is Perfection, Not Happiness; And Every One Of The Sons Of God Must Have Something Of That Spirit Which Marked His Master.

Only What Coronation Is In An Earthly Way, Baptism Is In A Heavenly Way; God's Authoritative Declaration In Material Form Of A Spiritual Reality.

But If There Has Been On This Earth No Real, Perfect Human Life, No Love That Never Cooled, No Faith That Never Failed, Which May Shine As A Loadstar Across The Darkness Of Our Experience, A Light To Light Amidst All Convictions Of Our Own Meanness And All Suspicions Of Other's Littleness, Why, We May Have A Religion, But We Have Not A Christianity. For If We Lose Him As A Brother, We Cannot Feel Him As A Saviour.

Child Of God, If You Would Have Your Thought Of God Something Beyond A Cold Feeling Of His Presence, Let Faith Appropriate Christ.

The Divine Wisdom Has Given Us Prayer, Not As A Means Whereby To Obtain The Good Things Of Earth, But As A Means Whereby We Learn To Do Without Them; Not As A Means Whereby We Escape Evil, But As A Means Whereby We Become Strong To Meet It.
