If We Would Talk Less And Pray

Let, Then, The Word Be Preached, And The Sins Of Men Will Be Rebuked, Lust Will Be Restrained, And Some Oppositions Will Be Made Against Sin, Though That Be Not The Effect Aimed At.

Some Relate . . . That The Eagle Tries The Eyes Of Her Young By Turning Them To The Sun; Which If They Cannot Look Steadily On, She Rejects Them As Spurious. We May Truly Try Our Faith By Immediate Intuitions Of The Sun Of Righteousness. Direct Faith To Act Itself, Immediately And Directly On The Incarnation Of Christ And His Mediation; And If It Be Not The Right Kind And Race, It Will Turn Its Eyes Aside To Anything Else.

There Neither Is, Nor Ever Was, In The World, Nor Ever Shall Be, The Least Dram Of Holiness, But What, Flowing From Jesus Christ, Is Communicated By The Spirit, According To The Truth And Promise Of The Gospel.

When Someone Sets His Affections Upon The Cross And The Love Of Christ, He Crucifies The World As A Dead And Undesirable Thing. The Baits Of Sin Lose Their Attraction And Disappear. Fill Your Affections With The Cross Of Christ And You Will Find No Room For Sin.

No Man Shall Ever Behold The Glory Of Christ By Sight Hereafter Who Does Not In Some Measure Behold It Here By Faith.
