God's Highest Gifts--talent, Beauty, Feeling, Imagination, Power--they

The Divine Wisdom Has Given Us Prayer, Not As A Means Whereby To Obtain The Good Things Of Earth, But As A Means Whereby We Learn To Do Without Them; Not As A Means Whereby We Escape Evil, But As A Means Whereby We Become Strong To Meet It.

Heaven Begun Is The Living Proof That Makes The Heaven To Come Credible. Christ In You Is "the Hope Of Glory." It Is The Eagle Eye Of Faith Which Penetrates The Grave, And Sees Far Into The Tranquil Things Of Death. He Alone Can Believe In Immortality Who Feels The Resurrection In Him Already.

Truth Is Given, Not To Be Contemplated, But To Be Done. Life Is An Action, Not A Thought.

To Grieve Over Sin Is One Thing, To Repent Is Another.

Earth Has Not A Spectacle More Glorious Or More Fair To Show Than This Love Tolerating Intolerance; Charity Covering, As With A Vail, Even The Sin Of The Lack Of Charity.
