... Religious Controversy Does Only Harm. It

The Humblest Occupation Has In It Materials Of Discipline For The Highest Heaven.

Home Is The One Place In All This World Where Hearts Are Sure Of Each Other. It Is The Place Of Confidence. It Is The Place Where We Tear Off That Mask Of Guarded And Suspicious Coldness Which The World Forces Us To Wear In Self-defense, And Where We Pour Out The Unreserved Communications Of Full And Confiding Hearts. It Is The Spot Where Expressions Of Tenderness Gush Out Without Any Sensation Of Awkwardness And Without Any Dread Of Ridicule.

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.

The Truest Definition Of Evil Is That Which Represents It As Something Contrary To Nature; Evil Is Evil Because It Is Unnatural; A Vine Which Should Bear Olive-berries, An Eye To Which Blue Seems Yellow, Would Be Diseased; An Unnatural Mother, An Unnatural Son, An Unnatural Act, Are The Strongest Terms Of Condemnation.

If The Duties Before Us Be Not Noble, Let Us Ennoble Them By Doing Them In A Noble Spirit; We Become Reconciled To Life If We Live In The Spirit Of Him Who Reconciled The Life Of God With The Lowly Duties Of Servants.
