Truth Is Given, Not To Be Contemplated,

I Read Hard, Or Not At All; Never Skimming, Never Turning Aside To Merely Inciting Books; And Plato, Aristotle, Butler, Thucydides, Sterne, Jonathan Edwards, Have Passed Like The Iron Atoms Of The Blood Into My Mental Constitution.

In All Matters Of Eternal Truth, The Soul Is Before The Intellect; The Things Of God Are Spiritually Discerned. You Know Truth By Being True; You Recognize God By Being Like Him.

It Is Not In Understanding A Set Of Doctrines; Not In Outward Comprehension Of The "scheme Of Salvation," That Rest And Peace Are To Be Found, But In Taking Up, In All Lowliness And Meekness, The Yoke Of The Lord Jesus Christ.

Truth Is Given, Not To Be Contemplated, But To Be Done. Life Is An Action, Not A Thought.

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.
