Tell me how a professor spends his Sabbaths, and I will tell you in what state his soul is spiritually considered. - John Angell James

It is not possible to set out in the Christian profession with a more instructive or impressive idea than this — Life is the seed-time for eternity.

They who would grow in grace, must love the habitation of God's house. It is those that are planted in the courts of the Lord who shall flourish, and not those that are occasionally there.

To bear adversity with meek submission to the will of God; to endure chastisement with all long-suffering and joyfulness; to appear cheerful amid surrounding gloom, hopeful amidst desponding circumstances, happy in God when there is nothing else to make us happy; he who does this has indeed made great advances in the divine life.
