“The essence of that by which Jesus overcame the world was not suffering, but obedience. Yes, men may puzzle themselves and their hearers over the question where the power of the life of Jesus and the death of Jesus lay; but the soul of the Christian always knows that it lay in the obedience of Christ. He was determined at every sacrifice to do His Father's will. Let us remember that; and the power of Christ's sacrifice may enter into us, and some little share of the redemption of the world may come through us, as the great work came through Him.” KnowsMenWorldMayLittlesSoulChristianRememberSufferingFatherJesusChristSacrificeShareEssenceLaysDeterminedRedemptionObediencePuzzlesFridayGreat WorkGood Friday Author:Phillips Brooks
“My mother and my father had very, very strong Scots accents. We were Australian, and in those days when I was young, I spoke with a much more of an Australian accent than I have now. However I knew that if I went to England to become an actor, which I was determined to, I knew that I had to get rid of the Australian accent. We were colonials, we were Down Under somewhere, we were those little people Over There. But I was determined to become an Englishman. So I did.” PeopleIfsLittlesYoungMotherActorsFatherStrongEnglandDeterminedSpokesVery StrongAccentsAustralianEnglishmenScots Author:George Ogilvie
