If we do not do this our churches will lighthouses without light, wells without water, dumb witnesses, sleeping watchmen, silent trumpets, messengers without tidings, a comfort for infidels, jubilant joys to the devil, and an offense to God.
Robert E. Lee

My trust is in the mercy and wisdom of a kind Providence, who ordereth all things for our good.

No day should be lived unless it was begun with a prayer of thankfulness and an intercession for guidance.

Such an executive officer the sun never shone on. I have but to show him my design, and I know that it can be done, it will be done...Straight as the needle to the pole he advanced to the execution of my purpose.
