Sentence Sermons from a Chicago Tribune pamphlet
Denial brings delight and sins confessed are half conquered. Humility raises a man highest and a light heart guides hearts. Religion endures daily use and triumph comes from true trial. Grumbling spurs trouble while empty minds resist new ideas. Heavenly bread is blessed when broken and borrowed faith lacks value. A man with a message has an audience. A straight creed cannot cover a crooked character. Greatness lies in recognizing goodness and sincerity reveals truth. An easy sermon is hard to digest and holiness needs no certificate.
