Ask What Time Is, It Is Nothing

Perhaps There Cannot Be A Better Way Of Judging Of What Manner Of Spirit We Are Of, Than To See Whether The Actions Of Our Life Are Such As We May Safely Commend Them To God In Our Prayers.

Wherever Thou Goest, Whatever Thou Dost At Home, Or Abroad, In The Field, Or At Church, Do All In A Desire Of Union With Christ, In Imitation Of His Tempers And Inclinations, And Look Upon All As Nothing, But That Which Exercises, And Increases The Spirit And Life Of Christ In Thy Soul.

All That Is Sweet, Delightful, And Amiable In This World, In The Serenity Of The Air, The Fineness Of Seasons, The Joy Of Light, The Melody Of Sounds, The Beauty Of Colors, The Fragrancy Of Smells, The Splendor Of Precious Stones, Is Nothing Else But Heaven Breaking Through The Veil Of This World.

Death Is Not More Certainly A Separation Of Our Souls From Our Bodies Than The Christian Life Is A Separation Of Our Souls From Worldly Tempers, Vain Indulgences, And Unnecessary Cares.

Where Has The Scripture Made Merit The Rule Or Measure Of Charity?.
