230 페이지 - It is all that can be expected of a being of infinite purity that he shall guard us from the power of temptation that comes to us. He must be a hard and irreverent, or a very ignorant and deluded man, who can pray to be delivered from the overcoming power of a temptation into whose atmosphere he willingly enters. In fact, we are taught to pray, not that we may be delivered from the power of temptation, but that we may not be led into it. It may be said with measurable truthfulness that half the art...
278 페이지 - The only fountain of religious truth is the Bible. We have it in our native tongue, and many a simple soul, without the aid of clergyman or schoolman, has drawn from it the inspiration of a new life and all the instruction that he needed touching his relations to God and men. Yet theology — human invention and human learning — has made religion a very complicated thing.
89 페이지 - God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into the nest. He does not unearth the good that the earth contains, but He puts it in our way, and gives us the means of getting it ourselves. — JG HOLLAND.
307 페이지 - The fufilment of it is the payment of a debt. Duty is a thing rationally apprehended and intellectually measured. Unselfish benevolence — natural, or acquired by the possession of the Christian life — blossoms with spontaneous beauty, and it is that which we love and which God loves. So the secret of being loved is in being lovely, and the secret of being lovely is in being unselfish.
215 페이지 - XIX. THE PRESERVATION OF CHARACTER. " A full vessel must be carried carefully." " He is so full of himself that he is quite empty." "If you had had fewer friends and more enemies you had been a better man." " That is often lost in an hour which costs a lifetime." AN" observing man is never without sources of amusement, and it is certain that among these sources the unconscious devices resorted to for the creation and preservation of character, in the eye of the world, deserve a prominent place. We...
186 페이지 - Don't measure other people's corn by your own bushel." JHERE is little in the conduct and condition of men that is not the subject of a false valuation, and I can imagine nothing, save larger hearts and more plentiful brains, that would be of so much use to the world as a catalogue of sins, arranged...
358 페이지 - We will add a thousand-fold to the happiness of the present in the fearlessness of the future which it brings, but we will not place happiness first, and thus cloud our heads with doubt and fill our hearts with discontent. In the blackest soils grow the richest flowers, and the loftiest and strongest trees spring heavenward among the rocks.
135 페이지 - Give us an age that shall appreciate that which it is fighting for, and will not crawl before the inferior and infernal powers that make war upon the throne. Give us an age in which Christians will fight for and stand by one another, and not fight against one another. Give us an age in which Christian manhood shall assert itself as the highest earthly thing and the noblest earthly estate. Give us an age that, instead of whining and groaning under the truth, shall rejoice in the truth. Give us an...
270 페이지 - The sweetest type of heaven is home — nay, heaven itself is the home for whose acquisition we are to strive the most strongly. Home, in one form and another, is the great object of life. It stands at the end of every day's labor, and beckons us to its bosom...
184 페이지 - There are men who judge their neighbors with great uncharitableness ; who drive hard bargains; who gamble in stocks; who are selfrighteous and censorious; who fail in tenderness toward God's poor ; who never pay what they ought to pay for the support of the religious institutions to which they are attached, yet who would consider a social dance in their own parlor a terrible sin, and a game of whist a high crime that should call down the judgments of Heaven. There are men who stalk about the world...
