“Not to be afflicted, is the worst affliction that can come upon us.” (Page 16)

“Peace in trouble, gladness in sorrow; nay, peace and gladness produced by the very tribulation itself; peace and gladness which nothing but that tribulation could have produced! Such is the deep love of God; and such is the way in which He makes all things work together for good to us.” (Page 12)

“He that is our God is the God of salvation; and this is enough both to assure us that the trial will not be too bitter, and that deliverance will come in due time. When it comes it will be complete.” (Page 16)

“He loved us, and gave His Son for us. He loved us, and gave us eternal life in Him. He loved us, and gave us ‘everlasting consolation and good hope.’” (Page 57)

“Jehovah is the sun of the soul. Without His beams all is not merely darkness, but death.” (Page 17)
