There is more fear th a t we will not h ea r th e Lord th a n th a t th e Lord will no t h ear us. If we reverently open one of God’s callings, we shall find it a storehouse of th e needed strength. Conscience is a still sm all voice, bu t h alf th e tim e when it trie s to speak it finds th a t th e line is busy. The man who would have God’s guid ance m ust be w illing to make sp iritu al things his m ain business. If we do no t catch men we are in danger of losing even the desire to catch them . There are m ultitudes who cry “ God be m erciful” who never cry “ God be p raised ” . Measure your possibilities not accord ing to w hat you see in yourself, bu t according to w hat you see in God for you. Every sinning soul carries w ithin itself all th e necessary elements of hell. The key th a t unlocks heaven doesn’t unlock every church door. P lenty of music will keep the hus band a t home, b u t no t if it’s chin music. L et your life speak for Christ, b u t let no t your lips be silent. To kindle hope in a fain ting soul is far more precious th a n to adorn the w eary pilgrim w ith dazzling gems. There Is no b etter way to show our tru s t in God th a n to busy ourselves w ith th e things He asks us to do. T h at man most fully serves his own generation who most fully serve» the will of God. To spend and be spent in w h a t' is called th e Lord’s work when our life is prayerless an d ou t of touch w ith God is a pet delusion of th e devil.
Life w ith God is an endless hope; w ithout H im it is a hopeless end. The Bible in the memory is better th a n th e Bible in th e book case. We shall have all etern ity to celebrate th e victories, b u t we have only th e few hou rs before sun set to win them . The present circum stance which presses so h ard against you, may be th e best shaped tool in th e F a th e r’s hand to chisel you for etern ity . Do not push away th e in strum en t lest you lose its work. God’s house is a hive for workers, no t a nest for drones. We shall never have a unified hum an ity dwelling in peace, un til th e Chris tia n ity of the Bible becomes th e Chris tia n ity of th e churchman. The taleb earer carries th e devil in his tongue and th e taleh earer carries th e devil in his ear. He who would deceive God is him self already most grossly deceived. I t is no t safe to ea t a t “th e devil’s mess though th e spoon be ever so long. Hypocritical piety is double iniquity. Have Jesus Christ in your soul and a tongue to tell it. It is th e Word of God preached in th e power of th e Spirit th a t th e people w ant to h ear and no t a goody-goody little serm onette delivered by a theolog ical jelly-fish. H eathens aré tru e to false gods while professed Christians are false to the tru e God. You may no t be held accountable for your weaknesses, b u t you will be held accountable for fooling w ith them . The only difference between a d runk ard and a m oralist is th a t one reels into hell and th e o ther w alks in.
