“Here in our land and in other lands many have been drifting toward a religion which says much about rights but little about duties; a religion which thinks only about humanity and little about God; which lays great stress on service but little stress on faith; which puts all the emphasis on man and his power and very little on God and His power.” -William Thomas Manning

“The happiest sweetest tenderest homes are not those where there has been no sorrow but those which have been overshadowed with grief and where Christs comfort was accepted. The very memory of the sorrow is a gentle benediction that broods ever over the household like the silence that comes after prayer. There is a blessing sent from God in every burden of sorrow.” -James Russell Miller

’Twas a sheep not a lamb that strayed away In the parable Jesus told; A grown-up sheep that had gone astray From the ninety and none in the fold. Out on the hillside out in the cold Twas a sheep the good shepherd sought And back to the flock safe in the fold Twas a sheep the good shepherd brought. And why for the sheep should we earnestly long And a earnestly hope and pray Because there is danger if they go astray. For the lambs will follow the sheep you know Wherever the sheep may stray; When the sheep go wrong it will not be long Till the lambs are as wrong as they. And so with the sheep we earnestly plead For the sake of the lambs today; If the lambs are lost; what a terrible cost Some sheep will have to pay.

“We speak much of tolerance as if it were the great virtue but it does not go far enough. Who wants to be tolerated just to be put up with? Jesus did not say, “Tolerate your neighbor,” but instead He said, “Love your neighbors.” Each person wants to be loved and appreciated and enjoyed for what he is and for what he can do for his friends and his neighbors.” -Caroline Eyring Miner

Silent Night Holy Night Silent Night Holy Night! All is calm all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child! Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent Night Holy Night! Shepherds quake at the sight! Glories stream from heaven afar Heavnly hosts sing Alleluia; Christ the Saviour is born. Silent Night Holy Night! Son of God loves pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus Lord at Thy birth. Silent Night Holy Night! Guiding Star lend thy light See the eastern wise men bring Gifts and homage to our King Jesus the Saviour is born. -Joseph Mohr
