BE not afraid to pray – to pray is right.

Pray, if thou canst, with hope; but ever pray, 

Though hope be weak, or sick with long delay :

Pray in the darkness, if there be no light.

PRAYER has the power of sanctifying life, because it brings God into life.

IS IT NOT true that most people fail much in prayer, because they will not take the trouble to prepare for prayer? 

MAKE truth lovely, and do not try to arm her – mankind will then be far less inclined to contend with her.

To claim completeness for our opinions is to abandon the encouragement of progress; and on the other hand, difficulties frankly met reveal new paths of truth.

true Christian society and true Christian friendship cannot exist on any other basis than that of respecting each other’s consciences.

THE more readily we admit the possibility of our own cherished convictions being mixed with error, the more vital and helpful whatever is right in them will become…

There are many persons… in our own Church, who dwell much more on the differences of form and opinion which exist between them and good dissenters, than on the unity of spirit between all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. 

It is surely better to pardon too much than to condemn too much.

CHRISTIANITY has abler advocates than in its professed defenders, in those many quiet and humble men and women who, in the light of it and strength of it, lead holy, beautiful, and self-denying lives.
