“Oh, hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs, for whom the Shepherd bled,
Are straying from the fold.
To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless
Is angels’ work below.”--BISHOP HOW.
“I do nothing. I am a chisel which cuts the wood. The Carpenter
directs it. If I lose my edge, He must sharpen me. If He puts me
aside and takes another, it is His own good will. None are
indispensable to Him; He will do His work with a straw equally
well.”--GENERAL GORDON.
“Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.”--ROM.
