“It is told of the widow of Schumann, the musical composer, that whenever she was going to play any of her husband’s music in public, she would read over some of his old letters to her, written in the lover days. Thus, she said, his very life seemed to fill and possess her, and she was better able then to interpret his work. If we will read over Christ’s words of love to us until His life enters into us, and His Spirit breathes into our lives, then we can be brave and strong in resisting evil and doing His will.”

A minister once called on an aged woman to read and pray with her. She commenced to tell him her troubles and poverty, and said she felt sure she should come to want. The good man said nothing in reply, but asked for the Bible as he would like to read to her. He chose the 23rd Psalm, and began reading thus: “The Lord is' my Shepherd, I shall want:” “Stop, stop, said the old woman; “it isn’t put like that in my Bible; read it again.” He did so, repeating it as he read it before, whereupon she took the Book from his hand, and; looked for herself. She manifested great delight on finding that the word “not” was there. She took the reproof so wisely administered, and never, again said that she should want.

A deacon' was walking home with his minister one frosty, night, when the minister slipped and fell back on the pavement. “Ah,” said the deacon, looking at him; “sinners stand on slip pery places.” The minister looked up at him as if to assure himself of the fact, and said, “I see they do, but I can’t!” The best way to save ourselves from slipping is to keep away from the slippery places.
