I Am Not What I Ought To Be! Ah! How Imperfect And Deficient! - I Am Not What I Wish To Be! I 'abhor What Is Evil,' And I Would 'cleave To What Is Good!' - I Am Not What I Hope To Be! Soon, Soon, I Shall Put Off Mortality: And With Mortality All Sin And Imperfection! Yet, Though I Am Not What I Ought To Be, Nor What I Wish To Be, Nor What I Hope To Be, I Can Truly Say, I Am Not What I Once Was - A Slave To Sin And Satan; And I Can Heartily Join With The Apostle, And Acknowledge; By The Grace Of God, I Am What I Am!

What Will It Profit A Man If He Gains His Cause And Silences His Adversary If At The Same Time He Loses That Humble, Tender Frame Of Spirit In Which The Lord Delights, And To Which The Promise Of His Presence Is Made?

If Our Zeal Is Embittered By Expressions Of Anger, Invective, Or Scorn—we May Think We Are Doing Service Of The Cause Of Truth, When In Reality We Shall Only Bring It Into Discredit!

I Make It A Rule Of Christian Duty Never To Go To A Place Where There Is Not Room For My Master As Well As Myself.

So Dress And Conduct Yourself So That People Who Have Been In Your Company Will Not Recall What You Had On.
