"The whitest robes, unless their purity be preserved by divine grace, will be defiled by the blackest spots."

"In the sympathy of Christ we find a sustaining power."

"The Holy Ghost is no temporary gift, He abides with the saints. We have but to seek Him aright, and He will be found of us. He is jealous, but He is pitiful; if He leaves in anger, He returns in mercy. Condescending and tender, He does not weary of us, but awaits to be gracious still."

"We often forget that the Author of our faith must be the Preserver of it also. The lamp which was burning in the temple was never allowed to go out, but it had to be daily replenished with fresh oil; in like manner, our faith can only live by being sustained with the oil of grace,"

"Zeal is more often checked after long years in the same service than when novelty gives a charm to our work."
