Deserving of Pity

1895

Deserving of Pity

"A home where the Bible is never touched except to be dusted, where no prayer is ever voiced, where no mention is ever made of Him whose words have changed the course of empires — such a home is deserving of pity. It is nerveless and powerless for good." — D. O. Mears, D.D.


Make a Business of It

"Make a business of religion. To this end estimate: What will it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul or what should a man give in exchange for his soul?" — Philadelphia Methodist.


Laziness

"Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains. The more business a man has to do the more he is able to accomplish, for he learns to economize his time." — Sir M. Hale.


All for Our Good

Many things happen that we cannot understand, but if we love God we have a right to believe that He is in all of them, and just as surely as we have that belief, it will give us constant and perfect peace. Not a trouble can come to us in this life while we are trusting in God that we will not thank Him for when we get to heaven.
