Through Ages, Through Eternity, What You Have

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.

Every Day His Servants Are Dying Modestly And Peacefully--not A Word Of Victory On Their Lips; But Christ's Deep Triumph In Their Hearts--watching The Slow Progress Of Their Own Decay, And Yet So Far Emancipated From Personal Anxiety That They Are Still Able To Think And Plan For Others, Not Knowing That They Are Doing Any Great Thing. They Die, And The World Hears Nothing Of Them; And Yet Theirs Was The Completest Victory. They Came To The Battle Field, The Field To Which They Had Been Looking Forward All Their Lives, And The Enemy Was Not To Be Found. There Was No Foe To Fight With.

But If There Has Been On This Earth No Real, Perfect Human Life, No Love That Never Cooled, No Faith That Never Failed, Which May Shine As A Loadstar Across The Darkness Of Our Experience, A Light To Light Amidst All Convictions Of Our Own Meanness And All Suspicions Of Other's Littleness, Why, We May Have A Religion, But We Have Not A Christianity. For If We Lose Him As A Brother, We Cannot Feel Him As A Saviour.

The True Aim Of Every One Who Aspires To Be A Teacher Should Be, Not To Impart His Own Opinions,but To Kindle Minds.

There Is A Two-fold Solemnity Which Belongs To The Dying Hour-it Is The Winding Up Of Life, And It Is The Commencement Of Eternity.
