In every changing scene of life...

18. Look as well on the bright, as well as on the dark side of Providence.

19. Keep up precious thoughts of God, under his sharpest and severest dispensations to you.

True victory

17. Eye more the internal workings of God in your souls, than the external providences of God. If God should carry on ever so glorious a work in the world as the conquest of nations to Christ, what would it advantage you if sin, Satan, and the world triumph in your soul?

Three Legacies

Apologies for the lack of legacies :) Here it goes three of them in a row...I specially like number 15. It really puts things in perspective doesn't it? when one can think that this life is not all there is! 

14. Walk in those ways that are directly contrary to the vain, sinful, superstitious ways — which men of a formal, carnal, lukewarm spirit walk in.

15. Look upon all the things of this world as you will when you come to die. Men may now put a lovely mask upon them, but then they will appear in their own colors.

16. Never put off conscience with any plea that you dare not stand by in the great day of your account.

Public and Private Life

13. The fewer opportunities and the lesser advantages you have in public, the more abundantly address yourselves to God in private. (Malachi 3:16, 17.)
