“Instead of trying to make others fret, we should try, young and old alike, to make the crooked places of men’s hearts straight, and the rough places of their lives plain; try to give the soft answer that turns away wrath; try to extinguish the flame of passion, to lessen the sum total of sin, and stimulate all that is lovely and of good report in the world around us.”  (William Garden Blaikie; 1820-1899)

“Even in the midst of holy things, somewhat of stain, spot or wrinkle will stick to us!”  (Barton Bouchier; 1794-1865)

“Do thou to me as Lord, rule me by thy grace, govern me by thy Spirit, defend me by thy power, and crown me with thy salvation.”  (Robert Mossom;  1657)
