“No language ever stirs the deeps of my nature like the Word of God and none produces such a profound calm within my spirit As no other voice can it melts me to tears it humbles me in the dust it fires me with enthusiasm it fills me with felicity it elevates me to holiness Every faculty of my being owns the power of the sacred Word it sweetens my memory it brightens my hope it stimulates my imagination it directs my judgment it commands my will and it cheers my heart The word of man charms me for the time but I outlive and outgrow its power it is altogether the reverse with the Word of the King of kings it rules me more sovereignly more practically more habitually more completely every day Its power is for all seasons for sickness and for health for solitude and for company for personal emergencies and for public assemblies I had sooner have the Word of God at my back than all the armies and navies of all the great powers ay than all the forces of nature for the Word of the Lord is the source of all the power in the universe and within it there is an infinite supply in reserve.”
