Page 29 - ... cheeks glowed with beauty ; his limbs were full of activity ; he leaped ; he walked ; he ran ; he rejoiced in that he was more excellent than those. I returned: he lay stiff and cold on the bare ground ; his feet could no longer move, nor his hands stretch themselves out ; his life was departed from him ; and the breath out of his nostrils. Therefore do I weep, because DEATH is in the world; the spoiler is among the works of God...
Page 9 - The birds can warble and the young lambs can bleat, but we can open our lips in his praise, we can speak of all his goodness. Therefore we will thank him for ourselves, and we will thank him for those that cannot speak.
Page 15 - There is no sound of a number of voices, or of children at play, or the trampling of busy feet, and of people, hurrying to and fro.

Page 20 - We need not raise our voices to the stars: for He heareth us when we only whisper: when we breathe out words softly with a low voice. He that filleth the heavens is here also. May we that are so young speak to Him that always was? May we, that can hardly speak plain, speak to God? We that are so young are but lately made alive; therefore we should not forget His forming hand who hath made us alive.

Page 13 - ... the cattle of the field fly, and the wild beasts of the desert hide themselves, for he is very terrible.
Page 9 - The young animals of every kind are sporting about, they feel themselves happy, they are glad to be alive, — they thank him that has made them alive.
Page 34 - There we shall see Jesus, who is gone before us to that happy place ; and there we shall behold the glory of the high God. We cannot see him here, but we will love him here. We must be now on earth, but we will often think on heaven.
