Let it be a settled principle in our minds that the first and chief business of the Church of Christ is to preach the Gospel.
A right knowledge of sin lies at the root of all saving Christianity.
Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.
Let us watch against PRIDE in every shapepride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride in our own goodness.

The early Christians made it a part of their religion to look for His return. Backward they looked to the cross and the atonement for sin, and rejoiced in Christ crucified.

Death is a solemn event for everyone. It is the winding up of all earthly plans and expectations. It is a separation from all we have loved and lived with.
