If Our Life Is Not A Course

If Our Life Is Not A Course Of Humility, Self-denial, Renunciation Of The World, Poverty Of Spirit, And Heavenly Affection, We Do Not Live The Lives Of Christians.

Receive Every Day As A Resurrection From Death, As A New Enjoyment Of Life.

Whatever Littleness And Vanity Is To Be Observed In The Minds Of Women, It Is, Like The Cruelty Of Butchers, A Temper That Is Wrought Into Them By That Life Which They Are Taught And Accustomed To Lead.

Faith Is Not A Notion, But A Real Strong Essential Hunger, An Attracting Or Magnetic Desire Of Christ, Which As It Proceeds From A Seed Of The Divine Nature In Us, So It Attracts And Unites With Its Like.

Devotion Signifies A Life Given, Or Devoted, To God. He Therefore Is The Devout Man, Who Lives No Longer To His Own Will, Or The Way And Spirit Of The World, But To The Sole Will Of God, Who Considers God In Everything, Who Serves God In Everything, Who Makes All The Parts Of His Common Life, Parts Of Piety, By Doing Everything In The Name Of God, And Under Such Rules As Are Conformable To His Glory.
