• When all is prosperous and the progress of the gospel is remarkable, so that even the world is struck with it, the work is found to be easy, in spite of difficulties and opposition; and-such is man-even in consequence of this opposition one is bold and persevering.

We must possess Christianity with God. (“2 Timothy 1” by J.N. Darby)
