Sivu 320 - For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Sivu 19 - For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
Sivu 171 - I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

They have every reason to believe, that the objects which are to meet them there, how new and unknown soever, shall all be propitious and friendly. For into the kingdom of his Father, their Lord has declared that he is entered as their forerunner. I go to my Father, and your Father ; to my God, and your God.
Sivu 206 - The careless and the imprudent, the giddy and the fickle, the ungrateful and the interested, every where meet us.
