Our Casket.

“A little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts and almonds.” Gen. 43:11.
—GOD is not in haste, but his aim is sure.
—TRUTH is not drowned in water, nor burned in fire.
—KEEP clear of a man who does not value his own character.
—HOBBES said: “The Papacy is the ghost of the dead Roman Empire.”
—IN every action reflect upon the end, and in undertaking it consider why you do it.
—IT costs us much to live an earnest and manly life, but it costs a great deal more not to do so.
—TRUTH is eclipsed often, and it sets for a night, but never is it turned aside from its eternal path.—W. Ware.
—DESPISE not advice, though even of the meanest. The gabbling of geese once preserved the Roman state.
—LET no man ever covet the good which another man receives until he is quite certain he is willing to pay the price that man has paid for that good.
—IF there are unobserved flowers in our path, the humblest eyes are most likely to find them, and the most prayerful knees to press out their perfume.
—WHOEVER would be sustained by the arm of God, let him constantly lean upon it. Whoever would be defended by it, let him patiently repose himself under it.
THOUGHTS of His coming! for that joyful day In joyful hope I watch and wait and pray; The dawn draws nigh, the midnight shadows flee, And what a sunrise will that advent be!
—HEART-WORK must be God’s work. Only the great Heart-maker can be the Heart-breaker. If I love him, my heart will be filled with his Spirit, and obedience to his commands.—Baxter.
—WHAT ground have we for believing that we are ready to make the greatest sacrifices, when we daily fail in offering the least?
—IN order to enjoy the present it is necessary to be intent on the present. To be doing one thing and thinking of another is a very unsatisfactory mode of spending life.
—IT is much easier to meet with error than to find truth; error is on the surface, truth is hidden in great depths; and the way to seek does not appear to all the world.
—“WHOSOEVER,” is written on the outside of mercy, and “Whatsoever” on the inside. The “Whosoever” takes in all classes, ages, every individual of our race. The “Whatsoever” covers the whole range of each individual’s need for time and eternity. Hasten to get inside mercy’s golden gate, if not already there, and when admitted to her banqueting house, grasp firmly the promise, “Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.”
