(Excerpt from a letter of Legh Richmond to his dying teenage son, 1824)
“Be much in prayer and self-examination. The more we see of ourselves--the more we see our sin.

Let no pursuits of literature, no delights of sense, no passing occurrences, no debility of body, no inferior subjects of recreation, prevent you from keeping your thoughts close to God and to eternity!”
