What is true in nature is also true in providence. A man is idle and neglects his business. He sleeps in the morning when he ought to be at work. He is dilatory and careless about his affairs.

Michael Faraday said that there was enough latent electricity in a single drop of water for an ordinary flash of lightning. What reserves of destructive force there must be in and around the globe!

Christians are soldiers. If our soldiers were to take it into their heads that they ought never to be seen, a pretty pass things would come to.

I like the remark of the people who were requested to accept a Universalist as a minister. They said, “You have come to tell us that there is no hell. If your doctrine is true, we certainly do not need you; and if it is not true, we do not want you. Either way, we can do without you.” It is a most dreadful…
