CONDENSED SERMONS, ETC.

CONDENSED SERMONS, ETC.
DEATH is less than deaths continual
fear.-AlleiRe.
THERE is not moment without some
duty.-Cicero.
THE implements that hew characters are
the acts of life.
THE place man occupies in this world
takes the hue of character.
TAKE away mans hope Of Heaven and
the devil could dispense with his recruit
ing stations.
THE hearts oil Of the pure furnish light
for Gods candle; the hearts of the impure,
darkness for the DEVILS scandal.
THEY act criminally who make use Of
another's weakness as plea for their own
deficiencies. Two wrongs do not make a
right.
IsIr not better to bear the cross for a
few days than to suffer for an eternity for
the few pleasures that the world gives Its
votaries?
The EXCELLENT.
What Is excellent
As God is permanent;
Hearts are dust, hearts loves remain,
Hearts love shall meet thee again.
Emerson.
IL we are prisoners on earth, we shall be
free in Heaven. Earthly bonds are the
golden chains that unite us with God and
the insignia Of our royalty.
SUFFERISes that are borne for Gods
sake cruelty the flesh but exalt the spirit
the body groans but the soul rejoices.
The wounds heal of themselves and leave
no scar.
COP makes use Of weak instruments to
accomplish his designs in order to show US
that the work is above the agent, and en-.
tirely independent Of his powers and
rectitude.
OUTWARD acts are more scandalous be-
fore men, but the inward lusts that
prompted them are more offensive before
God. A plausible exterior may cover o
very rotten heart.
THERE is no necessity constraining q
man to make fool of himself. IL is q vol
untary act, and he should not complain II
he be laughed at for his trouble. 1t merits
only derision.
ONE of the strangest characteristics of
q fool is the complacency he exhibits In
the conviction that men regard him as
wise. That Is, he. takes everybody else to
be fool except himself
WHATis there Of earth worthy Of our
lover To turn our backs upon God, is as
II King should leave his throne TO en-
gage In the most menial employment-to
20 from lightness into gloom.
NATURE seems to exist for the excellent
The world is upheld by the veracity Of
good men; they make the earth whole
some. We call our children and our lands
by their names; their works and eflgies
are in our houses.-EmersoR.
ALL things else are changed with a
change of heart; old things are passed
away, and all things become new, for ev-
erything 10 different from what 1t was.
Let him who would know what true hap.
piness is seek for this change.
GRACE must be active to be profitable.
II is not what we would wish to do that
will benefit our souls, but what we do in
deed. To profess piety and not practice
Il. instead OF enhancing our interests, will
beipbten our condemnation.

from suffering, for II is tho pledge oi
