Levi H. Dowling

“ It is a narrow way; it lies among the rocks and pitfalls of the carnal life; but in the way there are no pitfalls and no rocks.
13. There is a way that leads to wretchedness and want. It is a spacious way and many walk therein. It lies among the pleasure groves of carnal life. ”

“ No one has ever asked in faith and did not have; none ever sought in vain; no one who ever knocked aright has failed to find an open door.
8. When men shall ask you for the bread of heaven, turn not away, nor give to them the fruit of carnal trees. ”

“ Because a man prays long and loud is not a sign that he is saint. The praying men are not all in the kingdom of the soul.
20. The man who lives the holy life, who does the will of God, abides within the kingdom of the soul. ”
