Instruction Ends In The Schoolroom, But Education

The Divine Wisdom Has Given Us Prayer, Not As A Means Whereby To Obtain The Good Things Of Earth, But As A Means Whereby We Learn To Do Without Them; Not As A Means Whereby We Escape Evil, But As A Means Whereby We Become Strong To Meet It.

Let A Man Begin In Earnest With "i Ought," And He Will End, By God's Grace, If He Persevere, With "i Will." Let Him Force Himself To Abound In All Small Offices Of Kindliness, Attention, Affectionateness, And All These For God's Sake. By And By He Will Feel Them Become The Habit Of His Soul.

In These Two Things The Greatness Of Man Consists, To Have God Dwelling In Us As To Impart His Character To Us, And To Have Him Dwelling In Us, That We Recognize His Presence, And Know That We Are His, And He Is Ours. The One Is Salvation; The Other, The Assurance Of It.

It Is Not By Change Of Circumstances, But By Fitting Our Spirits To The Circumstances In Which God Has Placed Us, That We Can Be Reconciled To Life And Duty.

In All Matters Of Eternal Truth, The Soul Is Before The Intellect; The Things Of God Are Spiritually Discerned. You Know Truth By Being True; You Recognize God By Being Like Him.
