Spear Points
1902
Purpose is what gives life a meaning.
Circumstances may change, but God never does.
The breadth of Christianity depends on its depth.
God puts consolation only where He has first put pain.
Early athletics will not suffice for the heavenly race.
In this life there is but one sure happiness— to live for others.
Expect God to help you when you have prayed for His assistance.
True greatness is ability to serve coupled with a meek and quiet spirit.
When the Lord is in our hearts His hand will be seen in our works.
Never take your eye off the cross, as all the lines of salvation center there.
Poverty of possessions need not be discreditable; poverty of life always is.
A thousand times better are the men who do than the weaklings who only know.
The loving judgments of friends are harder to bear than the harsh ones of foes.
All God's providences are but His touches of the strings of the great instrument of the world.
When you step up on one promise you will always find a higher and a better one before you.
The self-centered life comes to naught; the Christ-centered life ever continues in enlargement.
There are some lessons which can only be learned in the garden, and beneath the shadow of the cross. — The Ram's Horn.

In the noonday of life only short shadows are cast.
In order to find out how strong a stick is you must break it.
A good fisherman always provides himself with plenty of bait.
The man who borrows and seldom pays is one who seldom lends.
When you confess a fault to a friend, confess one that you know he also has.
The man who is above imitating the methods of others need never be afraid of being imitated.
Sometimes the loftiest monument towers above the grave of the poet who starved to death.
Women were formed to temper mankind and soothe them into tenderness and compassion. — Addison.
Those who go slowly through life have an opportunity of reading the guideboards along the way. The riches of the world and the
gratifications they afford are too apt when their evil tendency is not opposed by a principle of religion to beget that friendship for the world which is enmity to God.
Prayer is so mighty an instrument that no one ever thoroughly mastered all its keys. They sweep along the infinite scale of man's wants and God's goodness. — Hugh Miller.
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasurable, and you create for the world a destiny more sublime than ever issued from the brains of the wildest dreamer. — Sir Walter Scott.
Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable. — La Fontaine.
Prudence yields to circumstance, folly quarrels with it, pride defies it, wisdom uses it and genius controls it. — J. S. Blackie.

Hindoo Proverbs — Truth, Contentment, Patience, Mercy
1907
Happiness consists in the absence of anxiety.
Truth, contentment, patience and mercy belong to great minds.
Little things should not be despised. Many straws united will bind an elephant.
It can never be safe to unite with an enemy. Water, though heated, will soon extinguish fire.
He who removes another from danger and he who removes terror from the mind are the greatest of friends.
Courage is tried in war, integrity in the payment of debt and interest, the faithfulness of a wife in poverty and friendship in distress.
Every one looking downward becomes impressed with the idea of his own greatness, but looking upward feels his own littleness.
He who in your presence speaks kindly, but in your absence seeks to injure, must be rejected like a bowl of poison covered with milk.
