Extended excerpt [Religious philosophy. From Chapter VI – ‘Motives to Progress.’]:

“There is much closer relation between our present selves in this world, and our future selves in the next, than most persons are aware of. “What a man soweth, that shall he also reap;” both in quality and quantity. It is not possible to set out in the Christian profession with a more instructive or impressive idea than this – Life is the seed-time for eternity.” (p. 321)

Extended excerpt [Essay]:

“But kindness is the visible expression of a feeling and merciful heart; it is the goings forth of a tender and susceptible mind; it claims kindred with the human race; it is all ear to listen – all heart to feel – all eye to examine and to weep – all hand and foot to relieve; it invites the sufferer with kind words, and sends him not empty away.” (p. 75)
