Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.

--2 CORINTHIANS 2:14

FIGHT the good fight

With all thy might;

Christ is thy Strength, and Christ thy Right;

Lay hold on life,

And it shall be

Thy joy and crown eternally.

--J. B. S. MONSELL

LET the first act on waking be to place yourself, your heart, mind,
faculties, your whole being, in God's hands. Ask Him to take entire
possession of you, to be the Guide of your soul, your Life, your Wisdom,
your Strength. He wills that we seek Him in all our needs, that we may
both know Him truly, and draw closer and closer to Him; and in prayer we
gain an invisible force which will triumph over seemingly hopeless
difficulties.

--H. L. SIDNEY LEAR

However matters go, it is our happiness to win new ground daily in
Christ's love, and to purchase a new piece of it daily, and to add
conquest to conquest.

--SAMUEL RUTHERFORD

This ought to be our endeavor,--to conquer our.selves, and daily to wax
stronger, and to make a further growth in holiness.

--THOMAS À KEMPIS
