Notes
 Note |
6TH BISHOP OF MASSACHUSETTS WRITER OF THE CHRISTMAS CAROL, "O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM" (1887) Phillips was an inspirational figure during the Civil War. Some considered him the greatest preacher in England or America. "The more we see of events the less we come to believe in any fate or destiny except the destiny of character." --Phillips Brooks "Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you yourself shall be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God." --Phillips Brooks information from Larry Overmire |
