FIGS AND THISTLES. very cruel blow sears the striker
The broad mind will not have the big head, What we gain in form we may lose in force. The indulgence of the flesh dwarfs the spirit, Naturalism is unnatural to the spiritual man, Misfortunes are God's call to new ministries, The true man sees in difficulty a call to endeavor. Stolen fruits are sweet only to a deranged appetite. It is easy to mistake high spirits for the Holy Spirit. To pander to the lowest faculties is to paralyze the higher. External forms of religion often mark its extinct fires. Some people are planning already to move for a change of administration when they get to heaven.
