This World Is Given As A Prize

What We Are, And Where We Are, Is God's Providential Arrange Ment — God's Doing, Though It May Be Man's Misdoing; And The Manly And The Wise Way Is To Look Your Disadvantages In The Face, And See What Can Be Made Out Of Them.

By Experience; By A Sense Of Human Frailty; By A Perception Of "the Soul Of Goodness In Things Evil;" By A Cheerful Trust In Human Nature; By A Strong Sense Of God's Love; By Long And Disciplined Realization Of The Atoning Love Of Christ; Only Thus Can We Get A Free, Manly, Large, Princely Spirit Of Forgiveness.

No One Can Be Great, Or Good, Or Happy Except Through The Inward Efforts Of Themselves.

In God's World, For Those Who Are In Earnest, There Is No Failure. No Work Truly Done, No Word Earnestly Spoken, No Sacrifice Freely Made, Was Ever Made In Vain (as Long As It Was Done Out Of Love, Not Personal Glory)

Cold Hearts Are Not Anxious Enough To Doubt. Men Who Love Will Have Their Misgivings At Times; That Is Not The Evil. But The Evil Is, When Men Go On In That Languid, Doubting Way, Content To Doubt, Proud Of Their Doubts, Morbidly Glad To Talk About Them, Liking The Romantic Gloom Of Twilight, Without The Manliness To Say,--i Must And Will Know The Truth. That Did Not John. Brethren, John Appealed To Christ.
