"I lift up one foot and it says, 'Glory!' and I lift the other foot and it says, 'Amen!' and so they keep on like that all the time I'm walking. If I were to go down to Hell I would shout, 'Glory! Glory!' unto my blessed Jesus until I made the bottomless pit ring again, and that miserable old Satan would say, 'Billy, Billy, this is no place for thee; get thee back.' Then up to Heaven I would go, shouting, 'Glory, glory, praise the Lord!'"

Billy Bray

"The patriot who feels himself in the service of God, who acknowledges Him in all his ways, has the promise of Almighty direction, and will find His Word in his greatest darkness, 'a lantern to his feet and a lamp unto his paths.' He will therefore seek to establish for his country in the eyes of the world, such a character as shall make her not unworthy of the name of a Christian nation."

Francis Scott Key

author of the words to the "Star-Spangled Banner"

"I still, from my armchair, preach in great revival campaigns. I still vision hundreds walking the aisles to accept Christ. I still feel hot tears for the lost. I still see God working miracles. Oh, how I long to see great revivals, to hear about revival crowds once again! I want no Christmas without a burden for lost souls, a message for sinners, a heart to bring in the lost sheep so dear to the Shepherd, the sinning souls for whom Christ died. May food be tasteless, and music a discord, and Christmas a farce if I forget the dying millions to whom I am debtor; if this fire in my bones does not still flame! Not till I die or not till Jesus comes, will I ever be eased of this burden, these tears, this toil to save souls."

John R. Rice

E. Howard Cadle

1884-1942

And they want You to change me until I'm most like one of them! O Lord, help these preachers to have sense enough to realize that if You were to answer their prayers I would be just as worthless and no account as they are! Please God, don't make me like any of these fellers."

Sam Jones

Twenty cubits upward doth this sea of grace prevail till the tops of the mountains of iniquity are covered."

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
