第 264 頁 - Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above.

第 222 頁 - Thus the consciousness of an Inscrutable Power manifested to us through all phenomena, has been growing ever clearer, and must eventually be freed from its imperfections. The certainty that on the one hand such a Power exists, while on the other hand its nature transcends intuition and is beyond imagination, is the certainty towards which intelligence has from the first been progressing.
第 305 頁 - Heaven and earth shall pass away ; but my word shall not pass away.
第 279 頁 - The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the LORD of the whole earth.
