“A little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts and almonds.” Gen. 43:11.
—WHAT ought not to be done, do not even think of doing.—Epictetus.
—SEEMING difficulties generally vanish before faith, prayer and perseverance.
—FOR every sort of suffering save sin there is sleep provided by a gracious Providence.
—HE who receives a good turn should never forget it; he who does one should never remember it.
—THOSE are the best Christians who are more careful to reform themselves than to censure others.—Fuller.
WHEN MY heart is sad and heavy, When my life is all misread, Give not anger for injustice— Give a gentle word instead.
—A GOOD conscience is a continual feast; and a mind at peace through Christ is the antepast of Heaven.—Bishop Reynolds.
—A WORKSHOP is not a bad place for preaching. If the heart of one workman is filled with the love of Christ, all the hands will hear of it.
—NEVER be sorry for any generous thing you ever did, even if it was betrayed. You cannot afford to keep on the safe side by being mean.
—NOTHING can be more painful to the feelings of a minister when he comes to water his flock than to find that many of them are not at the well.—Wm. Jay.
—THE meanest paymaster in the universe is Satan. He never yet employed a hand that he didn’t cheat. Young man, engage your services to a better Master.
—OUT of Christ as the way there is nothing but wandering; out of Christ as the truth, nothing but error; out of Christ as the life, nothing but eternal death.
