COMPILED BY THE

REV. JOHN GILLIES, D. D.

Yea, doubtless, I count all things but loss, for the excellency
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord: for whom I
have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but
dung, that I may win Christ.-Phil. iii. 8. (xii. 15.
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you.-2 Cor.
For he that winneth souls is wise.-Prov. xi. 30.
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament: and they that turn many to righteousness, as
the stars, forever and ever.—
.-Dan. xii. 3.
