WE are wrong always when we think too much of what we think or are.

TO all true modesty the necessary business is not in-look, but out-look, and especially up-look…

THE Pharisees wanted not to serve God and man, but to gratify the petty pride of having done exactly what they had to do….

Disordered order is the most active cause of disorder.   Over-restless activity is the parent of a despairing in-activity in others.

Beware of a fidgetty, fussy kind of religion.

Love without a sense of duty is a mere delusion from which we cannot too soon set ourselves free.

He prayeth well who loveth well, 

Both man, and bird and beast.

He prayeth best, who loveth best 

All things both great and small;

For the dear God who loveth us, 

He made and loveth all.

The more time we spend in [God’s] presence, seeking His face and communing with Him in prayer, the more surely will godly graces and tempers spring up within us and bear fruit in our lives.

THOU Who hast given me eyes to see

And love this sight so fair,

Give me a heart to find out Thee, 

And read Thee everywhere.

LORD what a change within us one short hour 

Spent in Thy presence will prevail to make, 

What heavy burdens from our bosoms take, 

What parched grounds refresh as with a shower!
