Faites ce que nous disons, et ne faites pas ce que nous faisons. — Preaching

"I venerate the man whose heart is warm, Whose hands are pure, whose doctrine and whose life, Coincident, exhibit lucid proof That he is honest in the sacred cause."

"His words had power because they accorded with his thoughts; and his thoughts had reality and depth because they harmonized with the life he had always lived. It was not mere breath that this preacher uttered; they were the words of life, because a life of good deeds and holy love was melted into them. Pearls, pure and rich, had been dissolved into the precious draught."

"I preached right to their consciences, and the result was a great revival of religion came up there; and after that I never heard any thing about infidelity."

"The lilies say: Behold how we Preach without words of purity."

"The priest he merry is, and blithe Three-quarters of a year, But oh! it cuts him like a scythe When tithing time draws near."

"Skilful alike with tongue and pen, He preached to all men everywhere The Gospel of the Golden Rule, The New Commandment given to men, Thinking the deed, and not the creed, Would help us in our utmost need."
