When Christians appear as gloomy and depressed as though they thought themselves friendless, they give a wrong impression of religion. In some cases the idea has been entertained that cheerfulness is inconsistent with the dignity of Christian character; but this all is a mistake. Heaven is all joy.—The Signs of the Times, February 12, 1885. {2MCP 758.4} | |

Når kristne ser tungsindige og nedtrykte ud som om de føler sig venneløse, giver de et forkert indtryk af religionen. Nogle gange næres den tanke at glæde er selvmodsigende mod den kristne karakters værdig; men det er en fejltagelse. Himlen er helt glæden selv. — The Signs of the Times, 12. februar, 1885. |
