"God is waiting to be gracious, and is willing to make us happy in religion, if we would not run away from him. We refuse to open the window shutters, and complain that it is dark."

"I never was deeply interested in any object; I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything, but it came at some time - no matter how distant, in some way, in some shape, probably the last I should have devised, it came. And yet, I have always had so little faith. God forgive me."

"The future is a bright as the promises of God."

If this system were universally adopted, it would banish believers' baptism out of the world."

"Our prayers run along one road and God's answers by another and by and by they meet."

"God answers all true prayer either in kind or in kindness."

"Embrace every opportunity of exercising kind feelings and doing good to others, especially to the household of faith."
