The world is full of men who are making good livings but poor lives. If God has a gigantic task to be per formed, faith gets the contract. To a love a small sin is a great sin. The highest glory in any world is the glory of service. You cannot live on the influence of Sunday for life is seven times greater than Sunday. God shows the greatness of His pur pose to those who are willing to be great enough to see it. If you would win the world, melt it, do not hammer it. Christ sends none
The Cross is light when His hands lay it upon your shoulders. God’s best gifts are for those who have laid their all at His feet. You may believe what is false, but you can KNOW only what is true. Every man should keep a fair sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends. The danger is that wes are apt to know more than we experience, and ex perience more than we put into actual obedience and sacrificial service. It is easier to build temples than to be temples of the Holy Ghost. Death can only be gain when to have lived was Christ. The more we learn

the more we are taught that we are not as wise as we thought we were. If the faults you see in other people were not so much like your own you wouldn’t rec ognize them so easily. He who learns noth ing from the past will be punished by the fu ture.
He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything. If thou come to serve the Lord, pre pare thyself for temptation. Do not take the truths from the Word of God second hand. A lie has no legs. It requires other lies to support it. God put the Church into the world; the devil put the world into the Church,
Every man has a better right to hear the Gospel once than any man has to hear it twice. Every church should support two pas tors; one for the thousands at home and one for the millions abroad. There is no human being who ever’ has known the misery of man as Jesus has known it, and so He comes to all sorrows with tender consolation.
