Excerpt from Looking Unto Jesus: A View of the Everlasting Gospel or the Soul''s Eyeing of Jesus as Carrying on the Great Work of Man''s Salvation From First to Last<br><br>The most excellent subject to'' discourse or write of-is jesus christ. Augustine having read Cicero'' s works commended''them for their eloquence; but he passed this sentence upon them They are not sweet because the name of Jesusis not in them. And Bernard''s saying is near the same If thou writest it doth not relish with me unless I read Jesus there; if thou disputest or conferrest it doth not relish well with me unless Jesus sound there.
