Standing on the (promises T is related of Rowland Hill, that quaint London preacher of years ago, that he once attended a meeting that had been called for the purpose of raising money for the Lon don poor. The speaker of the day failing to appear, they called on Rowland Hill to preach a sermon on “Giving to the poor.” He went forward to the platform, opened his Bible and said: “My friends, my text today is: ‘He that [giveth to] the poor lendeth unto the Lord,.’ My sermon on that text is: If you like your security—down with your cash.” When we read the promises of God do we always think of the collateral that is behind them? “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” “His riches in glory” is the security for the promise. At a recent Faculty dinner at the Bible Institute the following promises were recited by different ones present and as each of these promises was recited a new thrill came to every heart. We are passing them along to our readers with the suggestion that they be read each morning with the thought of the riches of glory that are on deposit for the benefit of every believing child of God.
