Count It One Of The Highest Virtues

For Some Years Now I Have Read Through The Bible Twice Every Year. If You Picture The Bible To Be A Mighty Tree And Every Word A Little Branch, I Have Shaken Every One Of These Branches Because I Wanted To Know What It Was And What It Meant.

The God Of This World Is Riches, Pleasure And Pride.

God Delights In Our Temptations And Yet Hates Them. He Delights In Them When They Drive Us To Prayer; He Hates Them When They Drive Us To Despair.

Even Like As St. Paul Was Converted, Just So Are All Others Converted; For We All Resist God, But The Holy Ghost Draws The Will Of Mankind, When He Pleases, Through Preaching.

If Any Earthly Institution Or Custom Conflicts With God's Will, It Is Your Christian Duty To Oppose It. You Must Never Allow The Transitory, Evanescent Demands Of Man-made Institutions To Take Precedence Over The Eternal Demands Of The Almighty God.
