“ EVERY day spend some thoughts about eternity; the thoughts of eternity should make you very serious about your soul; let us in time remember eternity, let us every minute we have to live, fo live as if we lived in fear of everlasting torment. ”

“ O man! who-soever thou art, think upon these things but thou especially, who findest thyself guilty of any grievous sin, repent and amend: remember eternity, and think upon the day of death, it is uncertain (illegible text) to part with all for Christ; to lay down your life for Christ, to lose all to save your soul, and gain eternity. Many of you rise up early, and go late to bed at night, and eat the bread of sorrow all the day, and load yourselves with thick clay; and I am sure, that such persons being night and day taken up with the world, are not prepared for death. ”

“ Therefore prepare for death. An admirable young child about five years of age, said to his mother when his father was dead, the being often grieving for the loss of her husband, Grieve not mother, tho' my father be dead, yet God is alive, and from that day to the day of her death, she never grieved more. My advice and council unto young persons is, that you will pray to God and God will hear you, for he loves them that love him, and they that seek him early shall find him. ”
