Real Friends Are Our Greatest Joy And

On This Earth All Is Temptation. Crosses Tempt Us By Irritating Our Pride, And Prosperity By Flattering It. Our Life Is A Continual Combat, But One In Which Jesus Christ Fights For Us. We Must Pass On Unmoved, While Temptations Rage Around Us, As The Traveler, Overtaken By A Storm, Simply Wraps His Cloak More Closely About Him, And Pushes On More Vigorously Toward His Destined Home.

The Most Essential Point Is Lowliness.

Never Let Us Be Discouraged With Ourselves. It Is Not When We Are Conscious Of Our Faults That We Are The Most Wicked; On The Contrary, We Are Less So. We See By A Brighter Light; And Let Us Remember For Our Consolation, That We Never Perceive Our Sins Till We Begin To Cure Them.

Violent Excitement Exhausts The Mind And Leaves It Withered And Sterile.

A General Rule For The Good Use Of Time Is To Accustom Oneself To Live In A Continual Dependence On The Spirit Of God.
