We Never Become Truly Spiritual By Sitting

Character - Some Day, You Will Be Wrestling With The Great Temptation, Or Trembling Under The Great Sorrow Of Your Life. But The Real Struggle Is Here, Now, In These Quiet Weeks. Now It Is Being Decided Whether, In The Day Of Your Supreme Sorrow Or Temptation, You Shall Miserably Fail Or Gloriously Conquer. Character Cannot Be Made Except By A Steady, Long-continued Process.

Charity Should Begin At Home, But Should Not Stay There.

A Man Who Lives Right, And Is Right, Has More Power In His Silence Than Another Has By His Words.

There Are No Times In Life When Opportunity, The Chance To Be And Do, Gathers So Richly About The Soul As When It Has To Suffer. Then Everything Depends On Whether The Man Turns To The Lower Or The Higher Helps. If He Resorts To Mere Expedients And Tricks The Opportunity Is Lost. He Comes Out Harder, Poorer, Smaller For His Pain. But, If He Turns To God, The Hour Of Suffering Is The Turning Hour Of His Life.

How Silently, How Silently The Wonderous Gift Is Given! So God Imparts To Human Hearts The Blessings Of His Heaven. No Ear May Hear His Coming, But In This World Of Sin, Where Meek Souls Will Receive Him Still, The Dear Christ Enters In.
