The life of faith does not earn eternal life; it is eternal life; and Christ is its vehicle.

William Temple

If we work upon marble, it will perish,

If, on brass, time will efface it;

If we rear temples they will crumble in the dust,

But if we work upon immortal minds and endue them with principles,

With the just fear of God and the love of our fellowmen,

We engrave on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity.

Daniel Webster

Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, the missionary doctor of Labrador, was a cynical young medical student in 

London when Dwight L. Moody went there to preach.  Said Grenfell of Moody: "When Mr.

 Moody finished his sermon, I resolved either to drop religion entirely or else make a real effort 

to do what Christ would do if He were in my place.  With a mother like mine, that resolve could 

only have one outcome.  So, beginning that night, I started doing what I thought Christ would do 

if He were a young doctor in London.”

Wilfred Grenfell

Life is a glorious opportunity, if it is used to condition us for eternity.  If we fail in this, though we 

succeed in everything else, our life will have been a failure.  There is no escape for the man 

who squanders his opportunity to prepare to meet God.

Billy Graham
