Page 191 - Speak gently to the erring ones . We yet may lead them back, With holy words, and tones of love, From misery's thorny track. Forget not, thou hast often sinned, And sinful yet mayst be ; Deal gently with the erring heart, As God hath dealt with thee.
Page 168 - CLEAR THE WAY. MEN of thought ! be up, and stirring Night and day : Sow the seed — withdraw the curtain — CLEAR THE WAY! Men of action, aid and cheer them, As ye may !

Men of thought and men of action, clear the way!

Page 76 - It is to live within The marts of Pleasure and of Gain, yet be No willing worshiper at either shrine ; To think, and speak, and act, not for my pleasure, But others'.
