May 7 Philip Henry 7

The happiness of heaven is the constant keeping of the Sabbath. Heaven is called a Sabbath, to make those who have Sabbaths long for heaven, and those who long for heaven love Sabbaths.
Philip Henry 1631-1696

The Bible ... You can converse with him any hour of the day or night, silently and privately. And his advice is that of the highest wisdom and goodness and may be safely relied on and followed. You cannot do better than follow his directions in all things. The information he gives you is of the greatest importance and divinely gracious. He will also tell you the same story over again and again a thousand times with the greatest patience if you have time and inclination to listen to his instructive tale. Thomas Charles (1755-1814)
