“Mr. Carter might have remembered, too—though he did not—that the Bible speaks of wicked men who prosper in the world and increase in riches; and of those who are poor in this world, but rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God has promised to them that love Him. And he might have learned from this that his prosperity was no sure proof that God was pleased with him.” FaithChristianityBibleProsperity Book:Story of Charles Ogilvie Source: Story of Charles Ogilvie

And so my mind might get unsettled, and i have no wish to have it unsettled.” Bible Book:Story of Charles Ogilvie Source: Story of Charles Ogilvie
