Men would not be so hasty to abandon the world either as monks or as suicides, did they but see the jewels of wisdom and faith which are scattered so plentifully along its paths and lacking which no soul can come again from beyond the grave to gather.
William Mountford
Image
The second childhood of a saint is the early infancy of a happy immortality, as we believe.
William Mountford
Image
God would never have let us long for our friends with such a strong and holy love, if they were not waiting for us.
William Mountford
Image
When we feel how God was in our sorrows, we shall trust the more blessedly that He will be in our deaths.
William Mountford
Image
What thousands and millions of recollections there must be in us! And every now and then one of them becomes known to us and it shows us what spiritual depths are growing in us, what mines of memory.
William Mountford
Image
There is no burden of the spirit but is lightened by kneeling under it. Little by little, the bitterest feelings are sweetened by the mention of them in prayer. And agony itself stops swelling, if we can only cry sincerely, My God, my God!
William Mountford
Image
Yes, death, the hourly possibility of it, death is the sublimity of life.
William Mountford
Image
Night by night I will lie down and sleep in the thought of God, and in the thought, too, that my waking may be in the bosom of the Father and some time it will be, so I trust.
William Mountford
Image
Faith is the inspiration of nobleness, it is the strength of integrity it is the life of love, and is everlasting growth for it it is courage of soul, and bridges over for our crossing the gulf between worldliness and heavenly-mindedness and it is the sense of the unseen, without which we could not feel God nor hope for heaven.
William Mountford
Image
Let God do with me what He will, anything He will and, whatever it be, it will be either heaven itself, or some beginning of it.
William Mountford
Image
Eternity is the divine treasure-house, and hope is the window, by means of which mortals are permitted to see, as through a glass darkly, the things which God is preparing.
William Mountford
Image
This earth will be looked back on like a lowly home, and this life of ours be remembered like a short apprenticeship to duty.
William Mountford
Image
It is our souls which are the everlastingness of God's purpose in this earth.
William Mountford
Image
The years of old age are stalls in the cathedral of life in which for aged men to sit and listen and meditate and be patient till the service is over, and in which they may get themselves ready to say Amen at the last, with all their hearts and souls and strength.
William Mountford
Image
The light of genius is sometimes so resplendent as to make a man walk through life, amid glory and acclamation but it burns very dimly and low when carried into the valley of the shadow of death. But faith is like the evening star, shining into our souls the more brightly, the deeper is the night of death in which they sink.
William Mountford
Image
Day and night, and every moment, there are voices about us. All the hours speak as they pass and in every event there is a message to us and all our circumstances talk with us but it is in Divine language, that worldliness misunderstands, that selfishness is frightened at, and that only the children of God hear rightly and happily.

Image
To commiserate is sometimes more than to give, for money is external to a man's self, but he who bestows compassion communicates his own soul.
William Mountford
Image
With a mind not diseased, a holy life is a life of hope and at the end of it, death is a great act of hope.
William Mountford
Image
Yes, I live in God, and shall eternally. It is His hand upholds me now and death will be but an uplifting of me into His bosom.
William Mountford
Image
No martyr ever went the way of duty, and felt the shadow of death upon it. The shadow of death is darkest in the valley, which men walk in easily, and is never felt at all on a steep place, like Calvary. Truth is everlasting, and so is every lover of it and so he feels himself almost always.
