The chief among ten thousand, the altogether lovely One! (by Octavius Winslow) With what pen, dipped though it were in heaven’s brightest hues, can we portray the image of Jesus? The perfection of our Lord was the perfection of holiness. His Deity, essential holiness; His humanity without sin, the impersonation of holiness. All that He […]
Christ Is All! James Smith, 1855 What the sun is to the world — that Christ is to the Church. What the soul is to the body — that Christ is to the soul. It has pleased the Father, that in him should all fullness dwell — and emptiness is written upon everything out of […]

It is utterly impossible! (Octavius Winslow, 1852) It has been the distinctive aim, and the sincere desire of my ministry — to make known and to endear the Savior to your hearts. Oh, how worthy is He . . . of your most exalted conceptions, of your most implicit confidence, of your most self-denying service, […]
Love suffering, and bleeding, and expiring! (Octavius Winslow, “No Separation from Christ Jesus”) The love of Christ! Such a precious theme! Of it can we ever weary? Never!
