“We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest; And deal full many a thoughtless blow, To those who love us best.

There is new strength, repose of mind, and inspiration in fresh apparel.”

“Patience is more than endurance. A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says--'I cannot stand anymore.' God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God's hands. Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.”

This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.”
