It Ought To Be The Business Of

Whatever We Have Of This World In Our Hands, Our Care Must Be To Keep It Out Of Our Hearts, Lest It Come Between Us And Christ.

See What A Hidden Life The Life Of A Good Christian Is, And How Much It Is Concealed From The Eye And Observation Of The World. The Most Important Part Of The Business Lies Between God And Our Own Souls, In The Frame Of Our Spirits And The Working Of Our Hearts, In Our Actions That No Eye Sees Except The All-seeing God. Justly Are The Saints Called God's Hidden Ones, And His Secret Is Said To Be With Them. They Have Meat To Eat And Work To Do That The World Does Not Know Of, As Well As Joys, Griefs, And Cares That A Stranger Does Not Share.

It Is Easy To Be Religious When Religion Is In Fashion; But It Is An Evidence Of Strong Faith And Resolution To Swim Against A Stream To Heaven, And To Appear For God When No One Else Appears For Him.

So Great Was The Extremity Of His Pain And Anguish, That He Did Not Only Sigh But Roar.

We Cannot Expect Too Little From Man Nor Too Much From God.
