—Light cares speak; great ones are dumb.

—Sorrow is a summons to come up higher in Christian character.

—The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none. —Thomas Carlyle.

—No indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.

—Every truth stands sentinel for all other truths. Falsehoods are all so crooked that no two will fit. W. H. E.

—Infidelity borrows all the light it has from that Bible which it seeks to discredit.—Western Christian Advocate.

—A sin without its punishment is as impossible, as complete a contradiction in terms, as a cause without an effect.—Greg.

—A Christian profession without principle, without heart, without self-denial, is the deadest thing in the world.—Interior.

—Counterfeit coin can never succeed in spoiling the character of gold; it only compels one to ring every piece on the counter. So pretense can never harm religion; it only makes men more watchful.
