“O blessed Health! thou art above all gold and treasure; 'tis thou who enlargest the soul, and openest all its powers to receive instruction, and to relish virtue. He that has thee has little more to wish for, and he that is so wretched as to want thee, wants everything with thee.” WantLittlesArtSoulWishVirtueHealthGoldBlessedTreasureTheeInstructionWretchedRelish Book:The Works ...: With a Life of the Author Source: The Works ...: With a Life of the Author
“Have been reading "Genesis" several Sundays, not as a Christian reads for "spiritual consolation," "instruction," etc., not as aninfidel reads to carp and quarrel and criticize, but as one who wishes to be informed and furnished in the earliest and most wonderful of all literary productions. The literature of the Bible should be studied as one studies Shakespeare, for illustration and language, for its true pictures of man and woman nature, for its early historical record.” MenShouldHas BeensChristianSpiritualReadingLiteratureLanguageWishStudyRecordsWonderfulBibleMen And WomenHistoricalProductionsEtcSundayCriticizeInstructionConsolationQuarrelsGenesisIllustrationCarp Author:Rutherford B.
