| If there be any one point in which the Christian church ought to keep its fervor at a white heat, it is concerning missions. If there be anything about which we cannot tolerate lukewarmness, it is in the matter of sending the gospel to a dying world. Topics: Missions |

And shall I, can I, silent be? Topics: Nature, Praise |
| It is not for me to rise up and go in rebellion against His wishes. If He be a father, let me note His commands, and let me reverentially obey.
