81.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 5 - The Pressing Emergency
      The October Panic. A man walked up the steps of a well-known bank in lower New York one morning, about a half-hour before opening-time, and stood before the shut door. In a few minutes another came, and stood waiting beside him. Others came, one by one, until soon a small group stood in line, waiting for the door to open. A messenger boy, com ...read more

82.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 6 - The Past Failure
      Some of God's Failures. God fails, sometimes. That is to say, the plan He has made and set His heart upon fails. Eden was God's plan for man. A weedless, thornless, world-garden of great beauty and fruitfulness; a man and woman living together in sweet purity and strong self-mastery; their children growing up in such an atmosphere, trained fo ...read more

83.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 7 - The Coming Victory
      Failure Swallowed by Victory. But God's failures are only for a while. They are real. There is the tragic element in them.

Sometimes it seems a very long time, especially if you are living through some of it. But the time ...read more

      Forces That Win. God's world is full of winning forces. The great ball of fire around which our earth revolves is the greatest winning force in the life of the earth.

85.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 9 - Each One of Us
      Our Drawing Power. The greatest human winning force is a man swayed in every bit of his being by the Spirit of Jesus. Man himself is the most attractive thing on God's earth. He has the greatest drawing power. He is attractive to God. He drew out of the creative power of God this world of beauty and splendor. He drew Jesus down from the thron ...read more

86.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 10 - Jesus
      Jesus Draws Men. The great heart-magnet is God. No one is so winsomely attractive as He. His winning power is beyond any other. Man is winsome. But it is because God made him winsome, and re-makes him yet more winsome. He gave him a bit of His own self. That's the secret of all our human winsomeness. Now Jesus is God to us. We know God only a ...read more

87.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 11 - The Holy Spirit
      The Last Talk Together. A little group of men were climbing the winding path that led up Olivet's slope. The Master was in the midst, and the others before and behind, where they could hear His voice. For they were talking together as they walked along. That is to say, He was talking, and they were listening, with an occasional question. They we ...read more

88.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 12 - Prayer
      The Greatest Doing Is Praying. The greatest of all things we can do is to pray. Jesus lived a life of prayer. All that He did and said grew out of His prayer. There is no way of knowing exactly how far it was so. But the more I study His life the stronger grows the impression that His teaching and activity, which form the greate ...read more

89.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 13 - Money
      Limitations. Money seems almost almighty in its power to do things, and make changes. It can make a desert blossom as a rose. It can even defy death. Medical skill holds the life here that otherwise would have been snuffed out. Great buildings go up. Colleges begin their life with apparatus and books, skilled instructors, and eager students. Mam ...read more

90.) Quiet Talks with World Winners 14 - Sacrifice
      One Hank Over For the Candle. The light of a common candle in the window of a little cottage near the coast shone far out over the sea. It was up north of Scotland, in one of the Orkney Islands. Near the window sat a frail, gray-haired woman with cheery, thoughtful face. She was busy working at her spinning-wheel, and watching the candle, turnin ...read more
