Let Family Worship Be Short, Savory, Simple,

It Is Much Easier To Settle A Point Than To Act On It.

When A Founder Has Cast A Bell He Does Not Presently Fix It In The Steeple, But Tries It With His Hammer, And Beats It On Every Side To See If There Be Any Flaw In It. So Christ Doth Not Presently After He Hath Converted A Man, Convey Him To Heaven; But Suffers Him First To Be Beaten Upon By Many Temptations And Then Exalts Him To His Crown.

There Is No Such Thing As A Fixed Policy, Because Policy Like All Organic Entities Is Always In The Making.

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.

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.
