“Τα λεγομενα αγαθα παντα φθειρει και αποσπα, καλλος, και
πλουτος, και ισχυς σωματος, και ξυγγενεια ερρωμενη εν πολει, και
παντα τα τουτων οικεια
.”
Plato. De Rep. lib. vi.
Such sayings come from East and West,
And in Christ's kingdom find their rest;
Such wisdom speaks in Gentile lands,
And to Christ's truth a witness stands;—
And in Christ's kingdom find their rest;
Such wisdom speaks in Gentile lands,
And to Christ's truth a witness stands;—
Like that Centurion's voice they come,—
While mid the darkness and the gloom
Beneath the Cross his watch he trod,—
“This is indeed the Son of God.”
While mid the darkness and the gloom
Beneath the Cross his watch he trod,—
“This is indeed the Son of God.”
“Those things which are commonly called goods, such as beauty, riches, strength of body, powerful state-connections, and the like, deprave the soul.”
“All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father.”
1 John ii. 16.
For well we know whatever shines
Where the Sun rises and declines,
Is like the bower of Paradise,
Wherein a painted serpent lies.
Where the Sun rises and declines,
Is like the bower of Paradise,
Wherein a painted serpent lies.
When Christ to death His head bowed low,
The sweat of Blood upon His brow
With good men's suffering blends, to bless
Their sweat in this the wilderness.
The sweat of Blood upon His brow
With good men's suffering blends, to bless
Their sweat in this the wilderness.
