Man Can Have Strength Of Character Only

The Moral Government Of God Is A Movement In A Line Onwards Towards Some Grand Consummation, In Which The Principles, Indeed, Are Ever The Same, But The Developments Are Always New - In Which, Therefore, No Experience Of The Past Can Indicate With Certainty What New Openings Of Truth, What Hew Manifestations Of Goodness, What New Phases Of The Moral Heaven May Appear.

Guided By His Wisdom, Strong In His Strength, There Maybe For You Struggle And Suffering, The Darkness And The Storm. "the Disciple Is Not Above His Master." There May Be Weeping That Shall Endure For A Night, But Joy Shall Come In The Morning. If The Night Cometh, So Also The Morning, "a Morning Without Clouds," The Morning Of An Eternal Day.

Let The Church Come To God In The Strength Of A Perfect Weakness, In The Power Of A Felt Helplessness And A Child-like Confidence, And Then, Either She Has No Strength, And Has No Right To Be, Or She Has A Strength That Is Infinite. Then And Thus, Will She Stretch Out The Rod Over The Seas Of Difficulty That Lie Before Her, And The Waters Shall Divide, And She Shall Pass Through, And Sing The Song Of Deliverance.

No, There Is Nothing On The Face Of The Earth That Can, For A Moment, Bear A Comparison With Christianity As A Religion For Man. Upon This The Hope Of The Race Hangs. From The Very First, It Took Its Position, As The Pillar Of Fire, To Lead The Race Onward. The Intelligence And Power Of The Race Are With Those Who Have Embraced It; And Now, If This, Instead Of Proving Indeed A Pillar Of Fire From God, Should Be Found But A Delusive Meteor, Then Nothing Will Be Left To The Race But To Go Back To A Darkness That May Be Felt, And To A Worse Than Egyptian Bondage.

In Christ We See The Strength Of Achievement, And The Strength Of Endurance. He Moved With A Calm Majesty, Like The Sun. The Bloody Sweat, And The Crown Of Thorns, And The Cross, Were Full In His Eyes; But He Was Obedient Unto Death. In His Perfect Self-sacrifice We See The Perfection Of Strength; In The Love That Prompted It We See The Perfection Of Beauty. This Combination Of Self-sacrifice And Love Must Be Commenced In Every Christian; And When It Shall Be In Its Spirit Complete In Him, Then Will He Also Be Perfect In Strength And Beauty.
