One contest beats a fire, and two are worse than a ship-wreck.
A stake on a home-stead is more valuable than a palace on an Indian allotment.
As smoke to the eyes and vinegar to the teeth, so is a contest to the poor man seeking a home.
Little Sermons.
Eloquent sermons never saved a sin-sick soul.
Hate would narrow heaven to a one man's closet.
Charity is the first lesson in the school of righteousness.
The religion that feeds only the heart can never hope to save hungry souls.
If you shake hands with sin as you leave it, you will find it at the station to meet you when the train stops.
