Through Ages, Through Eternity, What You Have

Every Unfulfilled Aspiration Of Humanity In The Past; All Partial Representation Of Perfect Character; All Sacrifices, Nay, Even Those Of Idolatry, Point To The Fulfillment Of What Want, The Answer To Every Longing--the Type Of Perfect Humanity, The Lord Jesus Christ.

As The Tree Is Fertilized By Its Own Broken Branches And Fallen Leaves, And Grows Out Of Its Own Decay, So Men And Nations Are Bettered And Improved By Trial, And Refined Out Of Broken Hopes And Blighted Expectations.

By Experience; By A Sense Of Human Frailty; By A Perception Of "the Soul Of Goodness In Things Evil;" By A Cheerful Trust In Human Nature; By A Strong Sense Of God's Love; By Long And Disciplined Realization Of The Atoning Love Of Christ; Only Thus Can We Get A Free, Manly, Large, Princely Spirit Of Forgiveness.

Women And God Are The Two Rocks On Which A Man Must Either Anchor Or Be Wrecked.

Mourning After An Absent God Is An Evidence Of A Love As Strong, As Rejoicing In A Present One.
