What They Said

 "A little, with the blessing of God upon it, is better than a great deal, with the encumbrance of His curse; His blessing can multiply a mite into a talent, but His curse will shrink a talent into a mite.  By Him "the arms of the wicked are broken,"  and by Him "the righteous are upholden;" so that the great question is, whether He be with us, or against us; and the great misfortune is, that this question is seldom asked."

George Horne

"Patience is the guardian of faith, the preserver of peace, the cherisher of love, the teacher of humility: Patience governs the flesh, strengthens the spirit, sweetens the temper, stifles anger, extinguishes envy, subdues pride; she bridles the tongue, refrains the hand, tramples upon temptations, endures persecutions, consummates martyrdom.  Patience produces unity in the church, loyalty in the state, harmony in families and societies; she comforts the poor and moderates the rich; she makes us humble in prosperity, cheerful in adversity, unmoved by calumny and reproach; she teaches us to forgive those who have injured us, and to be the first in asking forgiveness of those whom we have injured; she delights the faithful, and invites the unbelieving; she adorns the woman; and approves the man; is loved in a child, praised in a young man, admired in an old man; she is beautiful in either sex, and every age."

George Horne

"“ Jehovah” alone is the “God,” or covenanted Saviour of his people; he is the only “rock,” on " which they may securely build their hope of heaven.Vain were the idols of the ancient world, Baal and Jupiter; as vain are those of modern times, Pleasure,  Honour, and Profit. They cannot bestow content, or make their votaries happy below; much less can they deliver from death, or open the everlasting doors above."
