There Is No Such Thing As A

In Viewing The Scheme Of Redemption, I Seem Like One Viewing A Vast And Complicated Machine Of Exquisite Contrivance; What I Comprehend Of It Is Wonderful, What I Do Not, Is, Perhaps, More So Still.

Philosophy Is A Proud, Sullen Detector Of The Poverty And Misery Of Man. It May Turn Him From The World With A Proud, Sturdy Contempt; But It Cannot Come Forward And Say, Here Are Rest, Grace, Pardon, Peace, Strength, And Consolation.

We Are Urgent About The Body; He Is About The Soul. We Call For Present Comforts; He Considers Our Everlasting Rest. And Therefore When He Sends Not The Very Things We Ask, He Hears Us By Sending Greater Than We Can Ask Or Think.

Unbelief Starves The Soul; Faith Finds Food In Famine.

Every Man Will Have His Own Criterion In Forming His Judgment Of Others. I Depend Very Much On The Effect Of Affliction. I Consider How A Man Comes Out Of The Furnace; Gold Will Lie For A Month In The Furnace Without Losing A Grain.
