I would think it a greater happiness to gain one soul to Christ than mountains of silver and gold to myself.
Grace in the soul is heaven in that soul.
Though we may now think some sins light and little, if the Lord awaken the conscience, we shall feel even the smallest sin heavy upon our souls.
It is better to get wisdom than gold. Gold is another's, wisdom is our own; gold is for the body and time, wisdom for the soul and eternity.
The fear of God reigning in the heart is the beauty of the soul.
