WEALTH is honourable, and may be used most blessedly when men regard themselves as being what indeed they are stewards of it, and not the owners;

THE Lord’s words made clear beyond doubt that ‘the blessing of power is the blessing of great cares,’ that the sign of authority is the readiness to serve.

His ability for this work is a sacred trust from God, the greatest of all trusts.   He must answer for the waste or abuse of it.

WE KNOW not what we do, some cry;  but they ought to know…

LET us only have a religious purpose, grand, inspiring, and devout, and we shall not have to complain of a want of zeal.

TO LOVE God is our Happiness, to trust in Him is our Repose, to surrender ourselves entirely to His will is our Strength.

But to Jesus self-sacrifice always is a means of freedom.

A saint is not a man without faults, but a man who has given himself without reserve to God

…sacrifice properly describes not loss to man but devotion to God;  not suffering, but dedication;
