Some of our teachers wanted us to learn the big doctrines first, and they did not like it because we could not at once see all the sublime truths of election and predestination.

When John Bunyan was a boy, he was so foolhardy that when a snake rose against him, he took it in his hand and plucked the sting out of its mouth, but he was not harmed.
