"As long as the gratification of any innocent taste does not absorb time that could and should be better spent; as long as you can return to religious duty or religion devotion, with unchecked delight, as long as Christ holds unmistakably His place as the King of your soul, that you count all your treasures but loss that you may keep Him there, - so long you are safe in your human pursuits and pleasures. 
But if these things, innocent in themselves have the boldness and impertinence to beguile you from duty, form prayer, from Christ, to you they cease to be innocent.They are thieves and robbers and murderers; they will steal your most priceless treasures and slay your soul.'

 Mrs.E Prentiss
