The Presence Of God Calms The Soul,

I Would Have Every Minister Of The Gospel Address His Audience With The Zeal Of A Friend, With The Generous Energy Of A Father, And With The Exuberant Affection Of A Mother.

How Does Our Will Become Sanctified? By Conforming Itself Unreservedly To That Of God.

On This Earth All Is Temptation. Crosses Tempt Us By Irritating Our Pride, And Prosperity By Flattering It. Our Life Is A Continual Combat, But One In Which Jesus Christ Fights For Us. We Must Pass On Unmoved, While Temptations Rage Around Us, As The Traveler, Overtaken By A Storm, Simply Wraps His Cloak More Closely About Him, And Pushes On More Vigorously Toward His Destined Home.

Crosses Are Of No Use To Us But Inasmuch As We Yield Ourselves Up To Them And Forget Ourselves.

The More Perfect We Are, The More Gentle And Quiet We Become Toward The Defects Of Other People.
