Pity Enlarges The Heart.

O Lord! Take My Heart, For I Cannot Give It; And When Thou Hast It, O! Keep It, For I Cannot Keep It For Thee; And Save Me In Spite Of Myself, For Jesus Christ's Sake.

The Christian Life Is A Long And Continual Tendency Of Our Hearts Toward That Eternal Goodness Which We Desire On Earth. All Our Happiness Consists In Thirsting For It. Now This Thirst Is Prayer. Ever Desire To Approach Your Creator, And You Will Never Cease To Pray. Do Not Think It Necessary To Pronounce Many Words.

Mankind, By The Perverse Depravity Of Their Nature, Esteem That Which They Have Most Desired As Of No Value The Moment It Is Possessed, And Torment Themselves With Fruitless Wishes For That Which Is Beyond Their Reach.

Nothing Will Make Us So Charitable And Tender To The Faults Of Others, As, By Self-examination, Thoroughly To Know Our Own.

A Cross Borne In Simplicity, Without The Interference Of Self-love To Augment It, Is Only Half A Cross. Suffering In This Simplicity Of Love, We Are Not Only Happy In Spile Of The Cross, But Because Of It; For Love Is Pleased In Suffering For The Well Beloved, And The Cross Which Forms Us Into His Image Is A Consoling Bond Of Love.
