Now An Infinite Happiness Cannot Be Purchased

It Is To Be Regretted That Few Persons Who Have Arrived At Any Degree Of Eminence Or Fame, Have Written Memorials Of Themselves, At Least Such As Have Embraced Their Private As Well As Their Public Life.

As Preachers Of The Gospel Of Jesus, Do Not Expect Worldly Honors: These Jesus Christ Neither Took To Himself, Nor Gave To His Disciples.

We Communicate Happiness To Others Not Often By Great Acts Of Devotion And Self-sacrifice, But By The Absence Of Fault-finding And Censure, By Being Ready To Sympathize With Their Notions And Feelings, Instead Of Forcing Them To Sympathize With Ours.

Now It Would Be As Absurd To Deny The Existence Of God, Because We Cannot See Him, As It Would Be To Deny The Existence Of The Air Or Wind, Because We Cannot See It.

This Perfection Is The Restoration Of Man To The State Of Holiness From Which He Fell, By Creating Him Anew In Christ Jesus, And Restoring To Him That Image And Likeness Of God Which He Has Lost.
