Christians! Your happiness on earth is your holiness; and in

heaven your highest happiness will be your perfect holiness.

Holiness differs nothing from happiness--but in name. Holiness

is happiness in the bud, and happiness is holiness at the full.

Happiness is nothing but the quintessence of holiness.

Holiness is the very marrow and quintessence of all true religion.

Holiness is 'God' stamped and printed upon the soul.

Holiness is Christ formed in the heart.

Holiness is our light, our life, our beauty, our glory, our joy,

our crown, our heaven, our all. The holy soul is happy in life,

and blessed in death, and shall be transcendently glorious in

the morning of the resurrection, when Christ shall say, "Lo,

here am I, and My holy ones, who are My joy! Lo, here am

I, and My holy ones, who are My crown! Upon the heads of

these holy ones will I set an immortal crown!"
