Him as true part of his own"
 Make great deal more of your right to praise the good than of your right to blame the bad. There is little danger, especially in this cold New England reg ion, that appreciation shall be given too abundantly."
 ''Set yourself earnestly to see what you were made to do, and then set yourself earnestly to do it; and the loftier your purpose is, the more sure you will be to make the world richer with every enrich ment of yourself"
 "No man or woman of the humblest class can really be strong, gentle, pure and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness y
 "You believe that only your political party can save the country. But if you believe that the salvation of the country is care of God, you will stand ever ready to help whatever new party God may seem to intrust with one period of that ever unfinished work"
 "Let no spiritual exaltation come to you without your lifting yourself up in it's present power, and doing come work for God which in your weaker moments scared you with it's difficulty"
 "We talk about mems reaching through nature up to nature's God. It is nothing to the way in which they may reach through manhood up to manhood's God, and learn the divine love by the human"
 "Christ was the life and nature which standing between the Godhood and the manhood, was to bridge the gulf and make the firm, bright road, over which blessing and prayer might pass and 1epass with confident golden feet forever"
 'The true human being forgets the body, not because tho body is detached and cast away, but because the body is doing it's work perfectly; as the passenger on the great ship forgets the engine only because the engines healthy pulse has become part and parcel of his ship-board life."
 ''I will never say word or allow you tion of my opinions. I started upon my record, and by that record 1 will stand or fall. I have said what think and believe in my public utterances and in my privatr discourse, and have nothing to retract oe qualify"
 Heaven will not be pure stagnation, nor idleness, not any mere luxuriant dreaming over the spiritual repose that has been safely and forever won but ac- tive, tireless, earnest work; fresh, live enthusiasm for the high labors which eternity will offer''
 ''No man can care wisely or well for any one he loves, who dares forget that God is caring for that friend of his with a wisdom and love incomprehensible. 1 cannot but think how many families and schools it would at once fill with happy earnestness and relieve of nervous anxious brance continually" | "The highest statement of the culture of human nature and of the best attain ment of it, is that, as it grows better, it grows more transparent and more simple, and more capable, therefore, of simply and truly transmitting the life and will of God which is behind it."
 ''To fasten one more link, however small, in the growing chain that is ulti- mately to bind humanity to God, is very much indeed. Besides that, we can with sympathy and intelligence, patience and hope, bring up the tagging side in all the vitality around us, and assert for man the worth, the possibility of this, his human life. If all the men and women here were doing these two things, what blight cor ner of the world this town would be-"
 Certainly, in our own little sphere, it is not the most active people to whom we owe the most. Among the common peo- pie whom we know, it is not necessarily those who are busiest, not those who, meteor like, are ever on the rush after some visible charge and work. It is the lives, like the stars, which simply pour down on us the calm light of their bright and faithful being, up to which we look, and out of which we gather the deepest calm and courage. It seems to me that there is reassurance heres for many of us who seem to have no chance for active usefulness. We can do nothing for our fellow men. But still it is good to know that we can be something for them; to know (and this we may know surely) that no man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure and good without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness"
