Child Of God, If You Would Have

By Experience; By A Sense Of Human Frailty; By A Perception Of "the Soul Of Goodness In Things Evil;" By A Cheerful Trust In Human Nature; By A Strong Sense Of God's Love; By Long And Disciplined Realization Of The Atoning Love Of Christ; Only Thus Can We Get A Free, Manly, Large, Princely Spirit Of Forgiveness.

Do You Want To Learn Holiness With Terrible Struggles And Sore Affliction And The Plague Of Much Remaining Evil? Then Wait Before You Turn To God.

Humility Is That Simple, Inner Life Of Real Greatness, Which Is Indifferent To Magnificence, And, Surrounded By It All, Lives Far Away In The Distant Country Of A Father's Home, With The Cross Borne Silently And Self-sacrificingly In The Heart Of Hearts.

It Is A Law Of Our Humanity, That Man Must Know Both Good And Evil; He Must Know Good Through Evil. There Never Was A Principle But What Triumphed Through Much Evil; No Man Ever Progressed To Greatness And Goodness But Through Great Mistakes.

Women And God Are The Two Rocks On Which A Man Must Either Anchor Or Be Wrecked.
