“If any country were indeed filled with men, each thus diligently discharging the duties of his own station without breaking in upon the rights of others, but on the contrary endeavoring, so far as he might be able, to forward their views and promote their happiness, all would be active and harmonious in the goodly frame of human society.” IfsMenHumansCountryMightWould BeAbleViewsRightsDutyFilledActiveContraryStationsDiligenceHarmoniousHuman Society Book:A Practical View of Preferred Christians Source: A Practical View of Preferred Christians
“Christianity seems at first to be all about morality, all about duties and rules and guilt and virtue, yet it leads you on, out of all that, into something beyond. One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of those things, except perhaps as a joke. Every one there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light.

They are too busy looking at the source from which it comes.” ThinkingShouldFirstsCountryLightSeemsChristianityVirtueDutySourceMoralityGoodnessJokesMirrorsFilledGuiltBusyGlimpseToo Busy Book:A Year with C.
