Music Is The 5th Gospel.

For It Is A Horrible Blasphemy To Imagine That There Is Any Work By Which You Should Presume To Pacify God, Since You See That There Is Nothing Which Is Able To Pacify Him But This Inestimable Price, Even The Death And The Blood Of The Son Of God, One Drop Of Which Is More Precious Than The Whole World.

Merit Is A Work For The Sake Of Which Christ Gives Rewards. But No Such Work Is To Be Found, For Christ Gives By Promise. Just As If A Prince Should Say To Me, "come To Me In My Castle, And I Will Give You A Hundred Florins." I Do A Work, Certainly, In Going To The Castle, But The Gift Is Not Given Me As The Reward Of My Work In Going, But Because The Prince Promised It To Me.

To Comfort A Sorrowful Conscience Is Much Better Than To Possess Many Kngdoms; Yet The World Regards It Not; Nay, Condemns It, Calling Us Rebels, Dissturbers Of The Peace.

Unto Him Who Is Able To Keep Us From Falling, And Lift Us From The Dark To The Bright Mountain Of Hope, From The Midnight Of Desperation To The Daybreak Of Joy, To Him Be Power And Authority For Ever And Ever.

Nothing Is More Sweet Than Harmony In Marriage, And Nothing More Distressing Than Dissension.
