Lire so as to be missed. Don’t forget that victory is by sub mitting. The crosses we fear are heavier than the crosses we bear. When Fear knocks at the door, send Faith to answer and you will find no body there. We can tickle people’s ears but only the Holy Spirit can prick men’s hearts. The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. Beware of having the wheel-barrow religion— the kind that moves only when pushed. None eyer became either holy or use ful by chance. The Cross is the only ladder to Para dise. Error runs down an inclined plane. Truth has laboriously to climb its way up hill. We do not always know the dangers that we are guided past. The way to do a great deal for Christ is to keep on doing a little. The cross is easier to him who takes it up than to him who drags it along. A prudent man is like a pin: his head prevents him from going too far. You can be a lamp in the home if you can’t be a star in the sky. He is truly valiant who can wisely suffer. The most expensive thing in the world is sin. The thickest cloud brings the heav iest shower of blessings. The shedding of tears n'ever saved a soul. Even our tears need washing in the blood of Christ before they can be acceptable.
True sacrifice consists, not so much in giving up great things as in daily re linquishing personal enjoyments for the sake of others, without looking for love or gratitude in return. Faith is rudimental; prayer is monu mental. One is a cornerstone on which all is built; the other a capstone in which all that is built reaches a climax of completeness. Don’t be too easily scared. The devil uses a good many blank cartridges. You don’t have godliness in triumph unless you can carve contentment out of God’s providence, whatever the dish is that is set before you. Pray for others. By making an er rand to God for them, you will get something for yourself. A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another than this, that when the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours. You may get men interested in re ligion by preaching the supremacy of Christianity, but you can only get them saved by preaching the efficacy of the blood of Jesus. There are some people whose friends are more to be pitied than their enemies. Wisdom is ability to use knowledge aright. The Holy Ghost is the foun tain of true wisdom. If you are “ sealed by the Holy Ghost” as the property of your Master, there will be no need for anyone to ask, “Whose is the image and super scription?” God demands a whole heart but He accepts a broken one. Consecration, not perfection, is the mark of a saint.
