summary:
  May I spend each day as if possibly it were my last, so that should the midnight cry break upon my ears, Prepare to meet Thy God, it might be to me no unexpected summons, but as an angel whispering, The Master is come and calleth for thee. Thou art ever giving me impressive remembrances that at such an hour as I think not, the summons may come, Prepare to meet Thy God.

  He who reflects the mind of Jesus; imbibes His Spirit; takes His Word as the regulator of his daily walk, and makes His glory the great end of his being; he who lives _to_ God and _with_ God, and _for_ God; the humble, lowly, Christ-like, Heaven-seeking Christian;--he it is who can claim as his own this wondrous heritage of love! Jesus was divinely qualified for this special office of speaking many and _comfortable_ words.

summary:
  What is done by these poor people and little children for the gold dust GOD has sown in those obscure rivers, we would do with those counsels and teachings which GOD has sown almost everywhere, which sparkle, enlighten, and inspire for a moment, then disappear, leaving but regret that the thought did not occur to collect and treasure them. A young girl, in one of those moments when the heart seems to overflow with devotion, wrote thus in her journal: If I dared, I would ask GOD why I am placed in the world; what have I to do?

summary:
  Man would never have even dreamed of a Living God had not that Living God been a reality, who did not leave the creature to find his Creator, but stooped from heaven, at the very beginning of our race, to find His creature. Of all the blessings which the study of Nature brings to the patient observer, let none, perhaps, be classed higher than this, that the farther he enters into those fairy gardens of life and birth, which Spenser saw and described in his great poem, the more he learns the awful and yet comfortable truth, that they do not belong to him, but to One greater, wiser, lovelier than he; and as he stands, silent with awe, amid the pomp of Nature's ever-busy rest, hears as of old, The Word of the Lord God walking among the trees of the garden in the cool of the day.

  Alexander the Great born B. C. 356. For all sweet and pleasant passages in the great story of life men may well thank God; for leisure and ease and health and friendship may God make us truly and humbly grateful; but our chief song of thanksgiving must be always for our kinship with him, with all that such divinity of greatness brings of peril, hardship, toil, and sacrifice.

  What I possess, or what I crave, Brings no content, great God, to me, If what I would, or what I have, Be not possest, and blest, in Thee; What I enjoy, O make it mine, High hearts are never long without hearing some new call, some distant clarion of God, even in their dreams; and soon they are observed to break up the camp of ease, and start on some fresh march of faithful service.

  Without faith men collapse into a yielding mass of plaintiveness and fear; with faith they move mountains. Without such faith man feels himself to be, in Goethe's phrase, a troubled wanderer upon a darkened earth.
