By it we gain strength against the princes of darkness, for it shields us with heavenly help.

Neither can it be doubted that such negligence would become the source of misery to the world, of public calamity, and of private woe.”

When he is pleased, a feeling of affection springs up within him; when angry, his poisoned sting is brought into play. That is the natural law which governs his being”
