21.) Cry Out, and Shout, Thou Inhabitant of Zion
      Before proceeding to the chamber where the good man met the last enemy, and conquered through grace, we will consider one phase of the meetings in which Mr. Smith engaged, that often aroused the antagonism of the formal and churchy, and at the same time drew the curious to increase the numbers that awaited upon his ministry. Demonstrations attended ...read more

22.) Doing For Jesus
      "She hath done what she could." Mark 14:8 Near the coast of England, on a reef of rocks out in the sea, stood a lighthouse to warn and guide vessels approaching that dangerous spot. Out there were terrific storms, and that part of the coast was the dread of the mariner. One dark, wild night, a ship with hundreds of passengers struck the r ...read more

23.) Eternity
      Eternity. The subject for our consideration, which is suggested by our text, is one in which all are interested. Tomorrow is Eternity. What man gets in this world is only a start in life, a preparation for the eternal beyond. Isaiah 57:15 If I were asked to define time, I would reply, It is limited duration; yet who can comprehend the thous ...read more

24.) Experience
      TO SAVE HIS MOTHER We have had a German baron among us, Baron von Karlstein, who has written a book about New York and its inhabitants. One of his anecdotes is very good and interesting: On Washington's Birthday he was standing in a crowd on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fourteenth Street, waiting for the grand procession to arrive. The first d ...read more

25.) Folly of Infidelity
      HE PROVED IT Recently the evangelist, E. L. Hyde, was conducting a revival meeting at B___, in New Jersey, and in the course of his remarks said "he could prove to the satisfaction of any infidel within ten minutes, that he was a fool." little thinking that he would have occasion or opportunity of doing so. The next morning while walking, a gen ...read more

26.) Give Me Souls, or I Die
      "It is accounted of a steward that he be found faithful." "The soul that sinneth it must die." "He that winneth souls is wise. "For they watch for your souls as they that must give account." "What will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Rev. Maltbie D. Babcock, D. D., in a meeting of ministers, told of the day when Harry Moreh ...read more

27.) God's Care
      I know one of God's children who has been shut in for ten long years or more, and in these years has learned such lessons of perfect trust that Heaven is very near all the time. Some time ago she needed a housekeeper, and finding some difficulty in securing one, she appealed to the ministers she knew, to her many friends, and finally, remembering ...read more

28.) God's Plan
      "In due time." Rom. 5:6 A few months ago I was engaged for a camp-meeting on the Pacific coast, and began to inquire concerning routes, fares and time. I secured a Railroad Guide and examined it carefully. I saw that trains were scheduled to leave at a certain hour, arrive at a certain hour, and the whole plan had been very thoroughly tho ...read more

29.) Have You the Vision?
      Isaiah 6:1 -- "I saw the Lord." In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord, sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another ...read more

30.) Hindered Prayers
      "That your prayers be not hindered." I Pet. 3:7 "Get thee up; Israel hath sinned." Josh. 7:10 The readers of "Pilgrim's Progress" will call to mind how, when Christian was in Palace Beautiful and they showed him the remarkable objects in the armory, Moses' rod, the hammer and nail with which Jael smote Sisera, the pitchers, ...read more

31.) Hopeless To Fight Against God
      "The stars in their courses fought against Sisera." Judges 5:20 On the back of the Book from which my text is taken I find these words -- Holy Bible. Within its pages I read: "Holy men of old spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." It tells of God who is of purer eyes than to behold evil and cannot look upon iniquity. Before Him Ho ...read more

32.) How Readest Thou?
      Luke 10:26 -- "How readest thou?" Some time ago a multimillionaire died and left a will disposing of the property that he had once possessed; for it is still true that of all the things in this world that you may own, you can take nothing with you when you leave. Many persons were anxious to know whether they had been remembered in the will, an ...read more

33.) It is Written
      Rom. 10:15 -- "It is written." I have very little regard for that method of using the Bible that will permit one to open it at random, put the finger on the verse, and then take it as a message from God. It lacks common sense. One might as well go in a drug store, shut your eyes and reach out your hand and place it on a bottle, and then take it ...read more

34.) Jesus
      THE LIVING FOUNTAIN In a village on the Welsh coast, the people fetch all their water from a well. "Is this spring ever dry?" I inquired. "Dry? Yes, ma'am; very often in hot weather." "And where do you go then for water?" "To the freshet a little way out of town." "And if the freshet dries up?" "Why, then we go ...read more

35.) Light in the Valley of the Shadow
      "Fear not, for I am with thee." "The time of my departure is at hand." "When the day breaks and the shadows flee away. "Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly." So I am watching quietly Every day, Whenever the sun shines brightly, I rise and say, "Surely it is the shining of His face!" And look unto the gates of His high place ...read more

36.) Missions
      SELF-SACRIFICE A brilliant Oxford student was giving himself to the Wesleyan Missionary Society for African service. His tutor remonstrated. "You are going out to die in a year or two. It is madness." The young man -- who died after being on the field only a year -- answered: "I think it is with African missions as with the building of a great ...read more

37.) Obtaining More of God
      "They shall run and not be weary." "I can do all things through Christ strengthening me." "In all things more than conquerors." "A well of water springing up unto everlasting life." "Thanks be unto God which giveth us the victory." When General Taylor came to the White House, he brought in his train his war-horse, known as "Old ...read more

38.) Prayer
      NO SIZE IN PRAYER I remember hearing it said of a godly man, "Mr. So and-so is a gracious man, but he is very strange; for the other day he prayed to God about a key he had lost." The person who told it to me regarded with astonishment the idea of praying to God about a lost key; and he seemed altogether surprised when I assured him that I pray ...read more

39.) Preparation for Life Work
      "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed." "Search the Scriptures; they are they which testify of Me." John Smith was faithful to his opportunities.
