Amazing grace! how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now i see. - John Newton

What makes this tree different from other trees therefore has nothing to do with what happens to it but rather with where it has been planted.

I look upon prayer-meetings as the most profitable exercises (excepting the public preaching) in which Christians can engage. They have a direct tendency to kill a worldly, trifling spirit, and to draw down a Divine blessing upon all our concerns, compose differences, and enkindle (at least maintain) the flames of Divine love amongst brethren.

Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.
