“ Heard a very good sermon from 'Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed when He shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.' Oh, does not this but too truly apply to me? Am I not often afraid of confessing Christ before men? O Jesus, make me to care less for the opinion of man, and more, far more, of what Thou thinkest. ”

“ But thanks be to God for the gift of his precious Word which reveals his wondrous love in sending his only-begotten Son into the world to die for sinners. There I read that Jesus Christ was crucified for me, that he bore in his body all my sins — that his blood cleanseth from all sin — that He has paid the penalty due to sin — that He has satisfied God's intense hatred towards sin. ”

“ When I look back on my past life, nearly six and twenty years, I see nothing but an accumulation of transgression and sin. Oh, my soul, let me remember with disgust and horror that for nearly five and twenty years I was a willing servant of Satan. What aggravates my wickedness is, that it has been all committed in spite of the advice and warnings of a truly Christian mother, and how often I have silenced the voice of conscience. But why dwell any more on a life which has been wasted? ”
