Beware of a religion of mere

and wishes, but makes no sacrifice,
which hides the cross with flowers,
and wears it over, but not within,
the heart. _ Beware of a religion
which costs you nothing, never
rises an hour earlier, never denies
itself a pleasure, never gives that
which it will miss, for the sake of
Christ and the soul.— Ex

“It takes a good many shovels
full of earth to bury the truth.”
Bury it deep as men may, it will
have a rising, notwithstanding.
They may roll a great stone, and
seal the grave wherein it is laid,
and set a watch upon it, still like
its Lord, it comes forth again at its
appointed hour. I can not die, it is
of an immortal race. As the Span

the daughter of God.”— M. Har

He who imagines that the void
he leaves by his death will be felt

the greatest only consider what in

respect to the rest of creation, and
then let them judge themselves ac
cordingly.
