 But there is another danger besetting your path. I mean the error of regarding your own capacities instead of your work, of putting self-consciousness in place of God. |
| So then put away, relentlessly away, all thought of the results. You cannot control them. |
| It is strange to reflect how much energy is thrown away in attempting to know the unknowable. |
| Plant thy foot firmly in the prints which His foot has made before thee. |
| The future is hidden by a dark impenetrable veil, and yet we struggle to pierce through it. |
| Absolve me, teach me, purify me, strengthen me: take me to Thyself, that I may be Thine and Thine only. |
| Words contract a significance which clings to them long after the condition of things to which they owe it has passed away. |

| This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency. |

| There will be no misgiving, no shrinking back, no calculation of overpowering odds, no terror of possible consequences, if you frankly accept the gift which God offers you to-morrow. |
| I will not be discouraged by failure; I will not be elated by success. |
| But on the other hand, while disclaiming any change in my opinions, I desire equally to disclaim the representations of those opinions which have been put forward in some quarters. |
| To make your people understand what righteousness is, this must be the basis of all your teaching. |
| You will bear a commission from God, for you have received a call from God. |
