Page 4 - As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God : when shall I come and appear before God...
Page 107 - ... Friars : the latter only are Monks. The Friars (fratres or brethren) may be termed societies, formed of religious men ; whose object is to withdraw from the world, in order to enjoy religious fellowship, and reap spiritual instruction together.

Page 142 - I must also add with the apostle, there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit, and there are diversities of administration, but the same Lord ; and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same GOD which worketh all in all. For assuredly, unto every one of us is given all grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ; yet, as we are all called to be living members of the church of Christ; which is joined and compacted by that which every joint supplieth ; no man can safely...
Page 93 - GOD in his word and providence, has taught me. I was not always blessed with the happiness I now enjoy. When I was young, I had a farm of my own. I had a wife, whom I dearly loved, and I was blessed with sweet children. Yet with all these good things I was never happy, for I knew not GOD, the supreme good.

Page 90 - My good friend," said he, with a tone of affectionate sympathy, " You seem very poor, and at a very advanced age; can I render your latter days more comfortable ?" The old man looking at him stedfastly, but with the greatest benignity, replied, "I humbly thank you, Sir, for your kindness.
