"The real corrupters of society may be, not the corrupt, but those who have held back the righteous leaven, the salt that has lost its savor, the innocent who have not even the moral courage to show what they think of the effrontery of impurity,—the serious, who yet timidly succumb before some loud-voiced scoffer, —the heart trembling all over with religious sensibilities that yet suffers itself through false shame to be beaten down into outward and practical aequiesence by some rude and worldly nature."
"Service to be sincere must be entire and undistracted. The cares and anxieties of life should not divert its earnestness or trouble its repose."
