Side 118 - Voltaire, Which retained all the wit that had ever been there. As a weight, he threw in a torn scrap of a leaf, Containing the prayer of the penitent thief...
Side 162 - Thus, in looking forward to future life, let us recollect that we have not to sustain all its toil, to endure all its sufferings, or encounter all its crosses at once. One moment comes laden with its own little...
Side 20 - Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being given us of entering into His rest, any of us should seem to come short of it.
