" The greatest thing a human soul can ever do m this world is to see something, and tell what it saw m a plain way. To see clearly is to poetry, prophecy, and religion — all m one. — Ruskin. " The chief evidence for Christianity is the power of the Gospel in 'action. Men may argue as they like about Christianity, but so long as it remains the power of God unto salvation ; so long as it changes wills, converts souls and comforts hearts, it carries with it its own evidence, which nothing can refute." — Bishop of London. "A man must strive hard and long within himself, before he can learn fully to master himself ; and to draw his whole heart into God. When a man stands upon himself, he easily slides unto human comforts. But a true lover of Christ and diligent follower of virtues does not fall back on comforts ; nor seek such sensible delights ; but rather chooses to endure sharp exercises and hard labour for Christ." — Thomas a Kempis.
