Pagina 64 - Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him ; let him know that he which converteth a sinner from the error of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Pagina 27 - There are fundamental truths that lie at the bottom, the basis upon which a great many others rest, and in which they have their consistency. These are teeming truths, rich in store, with which they furnish the mind, and, like the lights of heaven, are •not only beautiful and entertaining in themselves, but give light and evidence to other things, that without them could not be seen or known.
