21.) An Aid to Memory
      It is a great comfort to us to remember that another office of the Spirit is to bring the teaching of Jesus to our remembrance. This was our Lord's promise, "He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance." - John 16:26 How striking that is. I think there are many Christians who have had that experience. They have been t ...read more

22.) Anecdotes & Illustrations
      -Christ never preached any funeral sermons. -His is a loving, tender hand, full of sympathy and compassion. -Take your stand on the Rock of Ages. Let death, let the judgment come: the victory is Christ's and yours through Him. -The only man who ever suffered before Christ was that servant who had his ear cut off. But most likely in a momen ...read more

23.) Believe
      Have faith in God! Take Him at His word! Believe what He says! Believe the record God has given of His Son! I can imagine some of you saying, "I want to, but I have not got the right kind of faith." What kind of faith do you want? Now, the idea that you want a different kind of faith is all wrong. Use the faith you have got; just believe on the ...read more

24.) Blind Bartimeus
      The apostle was going into Jericho for the last time. By the wayside he finds a poor, blind beggar who asks for a farthing, and he says, "Silver and gold have I none, but I can tell you of a great physician in Israel who can cure you." "Can cure me?" he says. "I was born blind." "Yes, but I have talked to a man in Jerusalem who says he was born bli ...read more

25.) Breaking the Tumblers
      A lady once told me she was in her pantry on one occasion, and she was surprised by the ringing of a bell. As she whirled around to see what it was, she broke a tumbler. Her little child was standing there, and she thought her mother was doing a very correct thing, and the moment the lady left the pantry, the child commenced to break all the tumble ...read more

26.) Cast Your Cares
      "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you" (1 Peter 5:7). A great many people seem to embalm their troubles. I always feel like running away when I see them coming. They bring out their old mummy, and tell you in a sad voice: "You don't know the troubles I have!" My friends, if you go to the Lord with your troubles, He will ...read more

27.) Cherries
      -The prodigal son got down very low, but he did not get down low enough to beg; he went to work. -I've lived nearly forty years, and I've learned one thing if I've learned nothing else; that no man or woman who treats disrespectfully father or mother ever prospers. -The most devoted love on earth is the love of a mother for her child; but wha ...read more

28.) Child Friendship, how Durable
      I heard some time ago of a little book upon a passage of Scripture, I didn't know there was such a passage; which occurred in the story of David and Mephibosheth. You know, one day Jonathan and David were together, and Jonathan said, "David, I want you to make a vow." I suppose it had been revealed to Jonathan that he was to take his place. Inst ...read more

29.) Christ All in All
      Colossians 3:11- "Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. CHRIST is all in all to every one who has truly found Him. He is our Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer, Shepherd, Teacher, and also sustains toward us many more offices, to which I desire to call ...read more

30.) Christian Love
      IT speaks in Galatians about love, the fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace, gentleness, long suffering, meekness and temperance. The way this writer has put it -- and I think it is very beautiful -- is that joy is love exultant, peace is love in repose, and long suffering is love enduring. It is all love, you see, a gentleness is love in soc ...read more

31.) Communion
      Do not shrink from the thought of living in full communion with God. Be decided to let God draw nearer and nearer and put His holy finger on every detail of your daily life, on every detail of your daily work, on every detail of your daily habits, of your conversation, your reading, your writing. Very small things can hinder full communion with ...read more

32.) Contrast between Genesis and Revelation
      GENESIS REVELATION Gen. 1:1 Earth created New heavens & new earth Rev. 21:1,2 Gen. 1:5 Night created No night Rev. 22:5 Gen. 1:10 Seas created No more sea Rev. 21:1 Gen. 1:16-17 Sun & Moon created No need of the sun Rev. 20:3 Gen. 2:5-23 Garden home for man City home for nations Rev. 21:10 Gen. 2:18 Bride of 1st Adam Bride of 2nd ...read more

33.) Critics Beware
      Love will rebuke evil, but will not rejoice in it. Love will be impatient of sin, but patient with the sinner. To form the habit of finding fault constantly, is very damaging to spiritual life; it is about the lowest and meanest position that a man can take. I never saw a man who was aiming to do the best work, but there could have been some improv ...read more

34.) Delivered From Sin
      "And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people...and I am come down to deliver them..." (Exod. 3:7-8). We all have some weak point in our character. When we would go forward, it drags us back, and when we would rise up into higher spheres of usefulness and the atmosphere of heaven, something drags us down. Now I have no symp ...read more

35.) Dinna ye Hear Them Comin'?
      There is a story told of an incident that occurred during the last Indian mutiny. The English were besieged in the city of Lucknow, and were in momentary expectation of perishing at the hands of the fiends that surrounded them. There was a little Scotch lassie in this fort, and, while lying on the ground, she suddenly shouted, her face aglow wit ...read more

36.) Does God Answer Prayer?
      I suppose there has been no word on Christians' lips so frequently at this time as the word "prayer," and there is not one in this hall who has not thought often, during the last forty-eight hours, of the importance of prayer. During this week of prayer, they are a great many not only thinking about it, but talking about it. When there is a spec ...read more

37.) Dr. Booth's Story
      Dr. Booth of New York, who has lost all his children-I say lost, but they are not lost; they are all in heaven-was telling me about being in an eastern country some time ago, and he saw a shepherd going down to a stream, and he wanted to get his flock across. He went into the water and called them by name, but they came down to the bank and blea ...read more

38.) Dr. Chalmers' Story
      There is a story of Dr. Chalmers. A lady came to him, and said, "Doctor, I cannot bring my child to Christ. I've talked, and talked, but it's of no use." The doctor thought she had not much skill, and said, "Now, you be quiet, and I will talk to her alone." When the doctor got the Scotch lassie alone he said to her, "They are bothering you a good d ...read more

39.) Emblems of the Spirit
      But I would further call attention to the emblems of the Holy Spirit. An emblem is something that represents an object; the same as a balance is an emblem of justice, and a crown and emblem of royalty, and a scepter is an emblem of power; so we find in the 17th chapter of Exodus and 6th verse, that water is an emblem of the Holy Spirit. You find in ...read more
