There is only one hiding-place, even God Himself. The only safe place for helpless and sinful men is close to God—in the arms of the Father, at the feet of Jesus, the Friend of sinners, once crucified and now exalted, to give repentance and the remission of sins. Come to Jesus, and thou art in the secret place of the Most High, where no evil can befall thee, nor any plague come nigh thy dwelling. There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. The Lord has forgiven all our transgressions, and will remember our sins no more.
Adolph Saphir — Chapter I, "The Open Secret," in Adolph Saphir, The Hidden Life: Thoughts on Communion with God (New York: Robert Carter and Brothers, [1877]), p. 6
