14631 | Do you want to know the solution of the Indian problem to- day? 14631 Does the ford go right straight across?" |

14631 | How shall we meet it, how shall we answer it? |
14631 | The circuit riders? |
14631 | The shadow deepens when the question rises,"What can be done for this boy?" |
14631 | What is before them? |
14631 | What next? |
14631 | What were they for? |
20446 | Are we a nation of foreign drunkards? |
20446 | I ask myself, Who drinks this rum? |
20446 | Native Americans? |
20446 | Now the question, and a serious one, is, Who are those that come? |
20446 | Recognized how far? |
20446 | What are the two great declarations of which England is proud? |
20446 | What is the term now? |
20446 | What is there in this charmed circle, in this favored zone, that brings national power? |
20478 | But what if all these things are only a larger gift to lay upon the altar of humanity? |
20478 | Dead of his glorious wounds, who would dare to pity him, or to think his end untimely? |
20478 | How many of us have learned integrity from an upright father, and breathed in the confidence of faith at a mother''s knee? |
20478 | I ask them, Is the life which I have tried to describe worth living? |
20478 | Is it not possible to forget the fact too much in discussing the rationale of the process? |
20478 | Is there any finer discipline for their powers than the service of God, any nobler education than the fellowship of Christ? |
20478 | What if strength be used only to follow with swifter stride in the self- denying footsteps of Christ? |
20478 | or is there any other method by which they think the highest objects of existence can be more completely attained? |
16104 | Are you then praying,said I;"Where is your faith?" |
16104 | What is the object of this exercise? |
16104 | ***** THE REMEDY-- BUT WHO IS TO FURNISH IT? |
16104 | A few day''s later, at the mother''s meeting, another woman said, with much feeling,"Wo n''t you present the temperance cause again tonight? |
16104 | And first-- Ques.--"What are the divisions of North America?" |
16104 | And who were the first to present themselves as candidates for the white ribbon but that same woman and her husband? |
16104 | Can a man make money by knowing the grammar? |
16104 | How much could we learn of religion, of history and the world around us, if it were not for grammar? |
16104 | If one is an object- lesson, is not the other quite as much so?" |
16104 | Is not here a splendid field for missionary work for the King''s Daughters throughout the land? |
16104 | May we ask our readers to lay this to heart with the query of each to himself,"Is it not_ my_ duty to increase my individual contribution?" |
16104 | Ques.--"What is a unit?" |
16104 | Ques.--"What makes the water rise in an artesian well?" |
16104 | Ques.--"Where do the collar bones meet?" |
16104 | THE REMEDY-- BUT WHO IS TO FURNISH IT? |
16104 | WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF THIS SUPPLY? |
16104 | What does it mean? |
16104 | What proportion of the funds contributed by living donors to missionary societies comes directly from church collections? |
16104 | What, therefore, is the stable reliance of missionary societies on which to make annual appropriations? |
16104 | Who will enlist next? |
16104 | Would 1- 2- 3 tell us all that?" |
11762 | ''Is not the babe a blessing in the house? |
11762 | Am I to blame that I come here empty? |
11762 | Am I to blame that I must go away?" |
11762 | At the door he asked, roughly, of a colored train hand,''Why did you let those men go into that car?'' |
11762 | DOES RESTRICTION RESTRICT? |
11762 | DOES RESTRICTION RESTRICT? |
11762 | Do you not see how rapidly Christian education and training must go forward to keep pace with such facts as these? |
11762 | I believe that if the Master were visibly present with us to- day, and we should ask,"Where shall we go first with the Gospel?" |
11762 | I want to be an earnest Christian; will you show me how?" |
11762 | If that ai n''t religion, then, mamma, what is religion? |
11762 | Is it not laid upon us, who know something of this work, to do this? |
11762 | Now, I ask you, friends, should not such work as this be amply sustained? |
11762 | Now, what is the remedy? |
11762 | Suppose a Frenchman should come to teach us French, and neither of us spoke a word of English-- how rapid would our progress be? |
11762 | Suppose we were to try to learn a foreign language in that way? |
11762 | The Dawes Bill gives them citizenship, but what does the Indian get? |
11762 | The Lord might say to him:"Did I not give you as good opportunities and as good capacities as the white man in whose midst you were? |
11762 | The matron asked,"What_ is_ the matter?" |
11762 | What can be expected of a church with such a man for its pastor, and what can be expected of a people if left to such leadership? |
11762 | What opportunity had I? |
11762 | What shall be done? |
11762 | Where can you see anything among the whites that equals it? |
11762 | do its share in this great work, or how can the work already begun be carried on, unless money is turned liberally into its treasury? |
13641 | And how long has white man known of this? |
13641 | Lady, if white man has known about God and about heaven so long, what for, why has he not told poor dying Indian about this before? 13641 Now, what does you say?" |
13641 | Now,said he,"when we gits cold and wicked follerin''our own ways, how does de Lord brung us back again to our senses?" |
13641 | Ques.--''Your Jesus men, was there any difference between them and us?'' 13641 With our views of the case, how could we believe anything else?" |
13641 | ''Do n''t you think his doctrine good?'' |
13641 | A prominent professor in a theological seminary, when the question was put to him ten years ago:"Professor, when did you become an Abolitionist?" |
13641 | But are they progressing rapidly? |
13641 | But why not face the more hopeful question: Is there a remedy? |
13641 | He has taught us to worship the ancestors and also use a lamb for sacrifice, why do n''t you obey?'' |
13641 | How many of you at home do as much for your prayer- meeting as this poor old colored woman? |
13641 | Is it to be wondered at, then, that the colored people are flocking to the Catholic fold? |
13641 | Now, how can one better prove his patriotism than by giving his money or service to save his country from ignorance and degradation? |
13641 | One of the questions most often asked is,"Are the colored people improving?" |
13641 | Shall immigrants be welcomed, restricted or prohibited? |
13641 | She asked of her teacher:"But, lady, how long have you known of this beautiful story?" |
13641 | She passed in while I stood at the door and thought thus,"Shall I go in here when one of those awful"blues"is there?" |
13641 | Some ask:''Do you believe our Confucius?'' |
13641 | Suppose you go to the stable to pray, do you think God was there-- such a dirty place-- and hear your prayer?'' |
13641 | The Colonel at once gives him chase; after a brief absence he returns to his home, and his wife eagerly asks"What did you do with him?" |
13641 | What will be its end? |
13641 | What will it mean? |
13641 | Why can not those disciples of Confucius be better men? |
13641 | Why should not the North and South alike manfully face the question of a war of races? |
13641 | Why stand over- awed at a threatened flood that if met in time may not only be averted but be turned into fertilizing waters over the broad lands? |
16083 | A new future opens out to these people, and the question is,"Shall that future be one of prosperity and piety, or one of intemperance and infidelity?" |
16083 | After the meeting was pass one of the old gentleman came to me and said,''Are you a missionary?'' |
16083 | And if the struggle comes again, what hope of success can the South cherish? |
16083 | And then comforted, she cried out triumphantly--"Did n''t my Lord deliver Daniel, Then why not every man?" |
16083 | Assuming that this is her highest need, can good servants be had without good wages? |
16083 | Because the people are prejudiced against us and our principles, shall we withdraw, and let them sink lower and lower? |
16083 | Because the work has many discouragements, are we excused? |
16083 | But the question is asked:"Have you no public schools or churches in this large section of the country?" |
16083 | Can it hope that the North will acquiesce in a quasi slavery, that sets aside substantially all that it gained and established by the long war? |
16083 | Have they had a fair chance in the race of life? |
16083 | He said:"Brethren, did you neber see a pasteboard box? |
16083 | How can the Association more fully meet these needs? |
16083 | How can we prevent crime, check immorality and decrease mortality? |
16083 | How can we rescue them from poverty and illiteracy, and not pauperize them? |
16083 | How have they fared since Freedom? |
16083 | I have asked several persons,"What is the greatest need of the colored woman and girl?" |
16083 | It was easy to picture stretches of landscape and quiet homes like our own, but the query was ever the same, what is_ still beyond_? |
16083 | Shall it not be this? |
16083 | What is the true place of our women and girls? |
16083 | What message shall we send back to them, O people of God? |
16083 | Who of us can say that he is innocent of this shed blood, unless he is doing something toward sending the only cure-- a Christian civilization? |
16083 | Why? |
16083 | how shall I describe them? |
16083 | what of these hundreds of thousands who seemingly have no more aspiration than the brute in their field? |
21351 | The next question is whether God is too great to require our service? 21351 You say you would believe it if you could see the controlling Creator? |
21351 | Apostles''? |
21351 | Cyprian, Bp,? |
21351 | Is not he thy father that bought thee? |
21351 | Then you really say that there is an actual equality of the Three Persons, and yet that there is but one God? |
21351 | What then are the characteristics which we must expect in a Collect? |
21351 | Why then should we suppose that intelligence is the only thing which{ 103} is an exception-- the only thing of which we have the whole? |
21351 | why suppose that all these adaptations have been made, so wonderfully, without a controlling mind? |
21323 | By their profession of faith? |
21323 | By their readiness to work? |
21323 | Did he wait until they could say they believed, even that he was God''s Son, before he sent them out to work? |
21323 | Did not Judas work with Jesus? |
21323 | How did Christ admit his members? |
21323 | In that sense are we not a true ecclesia? |
21323 | Is it imperative for him to find exactly what he does not believe? |
21323 | To sum up, What has the Church meant to me? |
21323 | Was ever such a topsy- turvyism? |
21323 | Who cares, as a matter of fact, which way these men said their prayers? |
21323 | Why? |
17126 | And you knew all about it? |
17126 | Are we to have new dresses? |
17126 | But you look so cross, and sit up so straight, and-- who ever heard of reading the Bible, in the middle of the afternoon, on a week day? |
17126 | Even Miss Josephine? |
17126 | Even Queenie and Fido? 17126 How can I get it too?" |
17126 | I am not obliged to explain my actions to every one, am I, Rose? |
17126 | Johnnie, where_ do_ you learn those big words? |
17126 | Mabel,Johnny said in a tone of reproof,"how often has mamma told you never to ask for things in that way?" |
17126 | Miss Simms,said Johnnie one day,"what is the reason nobody ever is angry with Edith? |
17126 | Mith Rothe, when thith canoe geth too old for you, you''ll give it to me, wo n''t you? |
17126 | There,finished Miss Simms,"if that is the law and the prophets, Johnnie, ought n''t you to give up to Mabel and Edith, once in a while?" |
17126 | There,said Johnnie,"have n''t we made a Bible feast?" |
17126 | Was it the rule that you must lose your recess, if you spoke? |
17126 | What have we done, Aunt Maria? |
17126 | But where was Aunt Maria''s family? |
17126 | But where were Aunt Maria''s family? |
17126 | Can he come to the party?" |
17126 | Could that be mamma? |
17126 | Dear Mrs. MacLain, what made you pretend to be vexed, if you were not?" |
17126 | Do you think we ought to put on our best frocks the first day?" |
17126 | Folks talk about dumb creatures, but they are not very dumb, are they, children? |
17126 | God is very good to give us so many bright days, and so much joy in them, is n''t he?" |
17126 | Have you ever been very unhappy when you have been good?" |
17126 | He shut up his Bible, and marched to Aunt Maria, who looked at him through her spectacles, and said:"Well, sir? |
17126 | What do you think of that plan?" |
17126 | What shall we do?" |
17126 | Who told you to shut up your book?" |
13824 | And are you diligently preparing for that day? |
13824 | And is not this treating the Gospel as_ foolishness_? |
13824 | And with what scornful hatred are those churches avoided by many, where nothing is heard but_ Jesus Christ and him crucified_? |
13824 | Are any of you conscious of disgust and aversion, produced by such doctrines? |
13824 | Are you escaping for your life? |
13824 | Are you working out your salvation with fear and trembling? |
13824 | Are you_ agonizing_ to enter in at the strait gate? |
13824 | Do any of you habitually hear the preaching of the cross with heartless indifference-- with a light and trifling temper? |
13824 | Do not_ they_ esteem them_ foolishness_? |
13824 | How chilling is the effect, when such discourse is attempted, in many circles of refinement and elegance? |
13824 | In such circumstances, what are worldly honours, or wealth, or all your hopes of enjoyment here? |
13824 | What connexion will it have with our future and eternal condition? |
13824 | What objects is it designed to accomplish? |

23476 | What, then, are their duties? |
23476 | Who, then are qualified to be Churchwardens? |
21722 | Of what music is our hymn- book to be constructed, which shall be at once dignified, sacred, and popular? |
21722 | To the next question,_ Whose emotion_ is this congregational music to excite or heighten? |
21722 | We know the need; how is it to be supplied? |
21722 | What is it that is wrong with our hymnody? |
21722 | What is the matter? |
21722 | Where then is the appeal? |
21722 | _ Quis custodiet_? |
14102 | All right,said the gentleman,"but to what special purpose would you advise it to be applied?" |
14102 | But,said the gentleman,"are there not places in your work where new buildings are greatly needed?" |
14102 | Hi yi, ho yo, but how''s I ever goin''to? |

18329 | And where is the strength of our Republic, if not in our cities and large towns? |
18329 | And wherefore so heavy a curse, unless the power of their example was great? |
18329 | But what is that to the present and eternal elevation of these thousand minds? |
18329 | But where are these insuperable difficulties to be found? |
18329 | Do you ask more particularly, how this shall be done? |
18329 | Indeed, what is the book of the Acts, but one continued history of revivals in cities and populous places? |
18329 | Is not this elevation worth more than all the necessary expense, even leaving out of the account all the eternal results? |

10831 | That is exactly as we are here, sir,exclaimed the good widow, and added,"but, as you are so frank, are you, sir, catholic, or protestant?" |
10831 | Well, then, can you tell me what sort of people they are, and what their characters and habits? |
10831 | Who then,said I,"were the writers of this book?" |
10831 | After some time, the hostess inquired,"Pray, sir, can you tell us if any thing extraordinary is passing in the world? |

25958 | Who could show better results of education? |
25958 | Who will give the rest? |
25958 | or"I see you have no trunks, how do you carry your samples?" |
14188 | But ca n''t you help me? |
14188 | But,the boy said,"why do I need to be a good penman? |
14188 | Then,said the teacher,"what were you doing when you found him idling?" |
14188 | Well, my boy, where is heaven? |
14188 | What did the little girl do? 14188 And how do you think he did it? 14188 And is not trying to be happy the secret we spend our lives trying to guess? 14188 And what do you think he found there? 14188 But did you ever think that people can be generous with their thoughts, too? 14188 Did he hide from them? 14188 Did you ever think that your parents are constantly makingsacrifice hits"for you? |
14188 | Here is a verse for you to take as a motto:"Where are you going? |
14188 | I suppose you never thought that you could kill a person with your tongue, did you? |
14188 | I think that fathers and mothers are always allowing their children to fish over their shoulders, do n''t you? |
14188 | I wonder whether our words would be pearls or spiders if we could see them? |
14188 | Now, how can boys and girls shine inside so that they will always shine outside whether they have their own way or not? |
14188 | OPPORTUNITY Have you ever heard of a picture that was called"Opportunity?" |
14188 | Or shall I say, we_ are_ our own fates? |
14188 | That seems a strange notion for a grown- up man to get into his head, does n''t it? |
14188 | That sounds just like a prickly, thorny, little bramble, does it not? |
14188 | That was a clever way of getting tempted, and yet not getting caught, was it not? |
14188 | The man behind the desk was very brusque and fierce- looking, and snapped out,"Well, what do you want here?" |
14188 | The teacher said to the tell- tale:"So you saw this boy idling, did you?" |
14188 | Then he adds,"How many of our best catches in life are made over someone''s else shoulder?" |
14188 | WHERE IS HEAVEN? |
14188 | What are some of these little foxes? |
14188 | What would become of you if God never forgave you when_ you_ did wrong? |
14188 | Why did she do that? |
14188 | Why not for those few divine years when we are still so near God, leave us just to wonder? |
14188 | Why should we have points of view at all? |
14188 | Why should we-- poor, helpless little children, all soft and resistless-- be squeezed and jammed into the iron bands of parental points of view? |
14629 | A World Without Christmas What would be the effect of blotting Christmas out of the calendar of the world? |
14629 | After so long preparation and so great promises and hopes, would we not have expected some greater and more wonderful gift? |
14629 | And did not Voltaire prophecy in 1760 that ere the end of the eighteenth century Christianity would disappear from the earth? |
14629 | And does not unbelief and unfaithfulness in our hearts also try to strangle this Child? |
14629 | But has not the Christmas star already been extinguished in such a night? |
14629 | Can it even be heard after many months when angry voices and the crash of falling wreckage still disturb the world? |
14629 | Do we want such a world? |
14629 | Has not God ordained priests and presbyters through whom he dispenses his grace and administers his kingdom? |

14629 | Has the Christmas Song Survived the World War? |
14629 | Has the angels''song survived the World War? |
14629 | How much shall we miss if we do not have room for Christ? |
14629 | Intellectual light is flooding all Christian lands: has it not been touched by his torch? |
14629 | Is it a discouraging fact that there is so little room for Christ in the world? |
14629 | Is there anything more beautiful in the Bible, or in all literature? |
14629 | Sceptics scoffed,"Where is the sign of his coming?" |
14629 | Shall all lower needs be satisfied and this supreme search and cry of the soul be disappointed and mocked? |
14629 | Shall not some respect be paid to official places and persons? |

14629 | Was a Child the Best Christmas Gift to the World? |
14629 | Was there ever a greater and sadder anticlimax and a more cruel disappointment? |
14629 | Were ever deep- seated, long- cherished hopes treated with more cruel irony? |
14629 | Were they disappointed at the humble mother, wife of a workingman, and at the manger cradle? |
14629 | What is the explanation of the mighty, worldwide, attractive power of this Child? |
14629 | What modern preacher can compare in eloquence and power with Paul and Isaiah? |
14629 | When did God ever lead us to expect anything and then disappoint us? |
14629 | When we come to think of it, does not a child seem an insignificant and disappointing gift for God to make to the world? |
14629 | Where must we go to find the greatest wonder? |
14629 | Where shall he begin, what human ears shall first have the privilege of hearing the glad tidings? |
14629 | Who can imagine the surprise, the wonder, the overwhelming amazement this news created? |
14629 | Why did God not rather give some invention or discovery or piece of knowledge that would revolutionize and bless the world? |
14629 | Why should we ever wonder at the faithfulness of God? |

26079 | The majority of our graduates answer the question,"What shall I do_ now_?" |
26079 | Then she asked:"How much colored blood have you?" |
26079 | To the graduate comes the joy of achievement tempered by the recurring question,"What shall I do_ now_?" |
26079 | When I compare his actions then and now, is there not cause for gratitude? |

15379 | Some time after he met me in the street:''Well, Moffat, what have you determined upon?'' 15379 What are you doing?" |
15379 | What then,replied the strangers,"does it_ speak_?" |
15379 | Who,said the farmer,"hardened your hammer to deal my head such a blow? |
15379 | Why,inquired the missionary,"can so great a man refuse knowledge and turn away from wisdom? |
15379 | Why,said the monarch,"are you so earnest that I abandon all war, and do not kill men?" |
15379 | Will all the slain in battle arise? |
15379 | Will my father arise? |
15379 | ''No,''she replied,''my baby is well,''''Your mother- in- law?'' |

15379 | Another sleep-- a wandering, perhaps unconscious, look at his children, a struggle, and then a quietness? |
15379 | Do not I love you?'' |
15379 | From that moment, his choice was made; earthly prospects vanished: his one thought was,"how to become a missionary?" |
15379 | He invited me to dinner again and said,''Have you come to a conclusion? |
15379 | I said,''My child what is the cause of your sorrow? |
15379 | Is it not through the love of God that Macheng is among us to- day? |
15379 | Is the baby still unwell?'' |
15379 | Moffat inquired for the servants,"May none of your servants come in?" |
15379 | Tell me, my friend, why I must not add to words and speak of a resurrection?" |
15379 | The ear of the monarch caught the sound of a resurrection from the dead,"What,"he exclaimed in astonishment,"What are these words about? |

15923 | In view, then, of all that has gone before, what shall be said of the Sunday school and the boy? |
15923 | Mr. Ball looked at them, and said,''Who do you want, fellows?'' |

15923 | Starbuck.--Should the Impartation of Knowledge Be a Function of the Sunday School? |
15923 | There was silence for a moment or two, and then one of the older fellows said,"Gee, do the Chinks over there know enough to play a game like that?" |
15923 | They found that he had left for home, and the boys looked at Mr. Ball and said,''Now, what shall we do?'' |
15923 | To accomplish the latter, what shall the procedure be? |
15923 | What now is the Sunday school? |

17222 | Does it not answer more nearly the description given of Mystery Babylon who was drunk with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus? |
17222 | Has it improved since that early day, or is the gall of bitterness less pungent, or has the sight of God become dimmed? |
17222 | Is it not Jesus who was made a priest,"not after the law of a carnal commandment, but by the power of an endless life? |

17222 | [ 194] How could they abandon that time- honored law of Moses and their fathers and at once embrace Christianity in its fulness? |
17222 | [ 229] Who-- we ask-- is this priest without the tonsure, who daily visits the world- wide brethern? |
17222 | [ 37] When was Christ''s command first quoted as authority for water baptism? |
17222 | [ 43] Is it not a mere evasion of the gospel truth here and elsewhere inculcated, that Christ gave no commission to baptize with water? |
17222 | [ 88] If in these gospel days we were to have been baptized with water, would not Joel have prophesied of water as well as of Spirit? |

1759 | But is it well with the work? |
1759 | Could it be possible that God was a great Father who loved his children? |
1759 | Could it be possible that this was true? |
1759 | For had not One said to him, long long ago when he was but a little boy,"Come follow me, and I will make you to become a fisher of men"? |
1759 | For was there not the whole host of heaven moving with them? |
1759 | If Kai Bok- su, their stay and support, were to be taken away, what would become of them? |
1759 | Kai Bok- su ill? |
1759 | L.?" |
1759 | L.?" |
1759 | Should they go up again and storm the citadel of heathenism? |
1759 | The young men had a school in Formosa, and why should there not be a school for women and girls? |
1759 | To Mackay''s amazement, one of them called out,"Is Mackay of Canada on board?" |
1759 | Was he no better? |
1759 | Was it well that he should wear out that splendid life in such desperate toil among heathen that hated and reviled him? |
1759 | What of him? |
1759 | What of his Beautiful Island, now that Kai Bok- su has left for a greater work in a more beautiful land? |
1759 | What were they to do? |
1759 | Would Kai Bok- su and his students deign to visit their village too? |
1759 | Would he give him that ice to save Mackay''s life? |
1759 | Would he go? |
1759 | Would he not come and tell the people of Sin- tiam the story about this Jesus- God who loved all men? |
1759 | Would he? |
26709 | And how is the name to be hallowed? |
26709 | And what does this mean? |
26709 | And will not the Father in heaven care for the child who has in prayer given himself up to His interests? |
26709 | Is it not wonderful? |
26709 | It will lead to a holy thoughtfulness and silence in prayer as it suggests the question: Does my Father really know that I need this? |
26709 | Shall we not join in the deep longing cry of the redeemed:''Thy kingdom come''? |
26709 | We may indeed and most joyfully say,''Who teacheth like Him?'' |
26709 | What name? |
26709 | would it not be just what we need, to ask the Master for a month to give us a course of special lessons on the art of prayer? |
27848 | I What shall we bring to Thee? |
27848 | IV What shall we give Thee now? |
27848 | Lowly the shepherds bow, Have we no gift to bring? |
27848 | What lines will reward the work of rendering? |
27848 | What shall our offering be On this Thy natal morn? |
27848 | Where does one begin and another end? |
22432 | Are they ministers of Christ? 22432 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? |
22432 | Are we acting as if it were our longing? |
22432 | Are we longing that He should find when He comes no unspent treasure, no talent laid up in a napkin, like the unshed seed in its shelly fold? |
22432 | Are you letting pass the moment on which all eternity hangs? |
22432 | At each fresh adaptation of the plants to their aim, we hear an echo of the words of Jesus,"Shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" |
22432 | Can not we trust the God Who planned them, to give us arrows that will be sharp in the hearts of His enemies, and to drive them home? |
22432 | Can we not read our parable? |
22432 | Can we read our last lesson? |
22432 | Could we imagine anything more insignificant? |
22432 | Do you know why they want to scatter? |
22432 | Do you notice that in each passage these are given as the marks of"ministry"? |
22432 | Do you see the parable? |
22432 | How is the deliverance to come? |
22432 | If such brokenness as this is the condition of God''s power upon us, what of the danger of making much of the instruments that He uses? |
22432 | Is not this a calling for which it is worth counting, as St. Paul did, all things but loss? |
22432 | Is there a soul poise that corresponds? |
22432 | Look at a clover head; do you know why some of the spikes are upright and others turned downwards and fading? |
22432 | Opposite p. 35 you see the two tiny specks in the splitting pod; does it not seem incredible that anything can come out of them? |
22432 | That seems a truism, but do we realise the fact? |
22432 | Who can tell what harvest after harvest may be waiting in the eternal years, after the summer of earth has faded into the far past? |
22432 | Why is it that the leaves which used to stand firm and fresh like those of the flowering clover, have begun to shrivel and turn yellow? |
22432 | are not our empty hearts now"the riches of His inheritance"? |
13285 | And how little cause is there to charge their Infelicity, as often is done, upon this Condition, as if it were a necessary Consequence thereof? |
13285 | And is not the incuring of general dislike, one of the strongest discouragements that we can have to any thing? |
13285 | But what sure Remedy can be found for Effects whose Cause remains? |
13285 | For how few Men are there, that arrive to any Eminence therein? |
13285 | How dangerous a thing then is such Instruction in Religion, as teaches nothing unless it be to stifle the Suggestions of our Natural Light? |
13285 | It is a good Question in the same Catechism;_ How doth it appear the Scriptures are the Word of God_? |
13285 | Or,_ Why they believe such Articles concerning it, as they profess to believe_? |
13285 | You do you not believe Transubstantiation? |
13285 | _ What is the chief and highest end of Man_? |
13285 | or not be liable to those Vices which their Natures incline them to? |
13285 | or that correspondently to their Principles, Peoples Actions generally are( at best) unaccountable to their Reason? |
22189 | Are all things-- even the treasures that He has sanctified-- held loosely, ready to be parted with, without a struggle, when He asks for them? |
22189 | Are our hands off the very blossom of our life? |
22189 | Are we following His steps; are we? |
22189 | Are we ready for this last surrender? |
22189 | Are you ready to ratify the words when His emptying begins to come? |
22189 | But how are we to enter in? |
22189 | But how? |
22189 | But is it an act, or a gradual process, this"putting off the old man?" |
22189 | But where is the barrier that we can place between ourselves and the old nature? |
22189 | Can not we trust Him for like marvels in our souls? |
22189 | Can we not trace the sign of the Cross in the first hint of the new spring''s dawning? |
22189 | Do you ask"Does God really mean the emptying to reach so far as this?" |
22189 | Does all this seem hard? |
22189 | Does anyone read these words who is trying to struggle from the natural life into the spiritual, by"some other way"than this way of the Cross? |
22189 | Does it look so to us? |
22189 | Have we learned the buttercup''s lesson yet? |
22189 | How are we to escape from the self- life that holds us, even after the sin- life has loosed its grasp? |
22189 | Is God enough? |
22189 | Is it still"My God"that you cry, even as Jesus cried when nothing else was left Him? |
22189 | Shall we not ask God to convict us, as to where lies the hindrance to this self- emptying? |
22189 | Shall we not let Him have His way? |
22189 | Shall we not translate the story of their little lives into our own? |
22189 | What more do we need for our souls than to have this God for our God? |
22189 | Whatever is the next grace for your soul, can you believe for its supply at once, straight out from the dry, bare need? |
22189 | Where is the sentence of death that we can pass upon it? |
22189 | Will they be said to us? |
28468 | Do you find them very treacherous? |
28468 | Do you see any real results? |
28468 | He was only(?) |
28468 | One old lady, fearing that she had been overlooked, exclaimed:"Wat you gwine to gib me?" |
28468 | Who shall measure this? |
28541 | Has it been cold here? |
28541 | Have you been sick long? |
28541 | Have you had any snow? |
28541 | The mother was lying on a bed in the corner, and I said to her,"Are you sick?" |
28541 | The orations of the graduates from the college course on"The Mission of the Scholar,""Aims and Ideals,"and"Does the Constitution Follow the Flag?" |
28541 | Where were we? |
28541 | Who are these people? |
26308 | At any rate, what method is secure from occasional false steps? |
26308 | But what is the legitimate inference? |
26308 | How can he effectually represent the joys of a religious mind, who has never known what it is to feel them? |
26308 | How could one hope to do better in a first attempt, if he had not considered beforehand what he should say? |
26308 | How happens this? |
26308 | Now what is all this but_ extemporaneous writing_? |
26308 | Who recommends such a course? |
26308 | or how can he paint, in the warm colors of truth, religious exercises and spiritual desires, who is personally a stranger to them? |
26308 | or only that it is an art which requires study and diligence, and which no man should presume to practice, until he has fitted himself for it? |
26308 | that extemporaneous speaking is altogether ridiculous and mischievous? |
12118 | A Scotchman once asked an Irishman,"Why were half- farthings coined in England?" |
12118 | And have you ever had to"brace up"to what, in a life of leisure might be a pastime, but in a life so full of care and responsibility becomes a task? |
12118 | And how long before that will be accomplished? |
12118 | And how shall they hear without a preacher? |
12118 | Are there no spiritual frosts to blight? |
12118 | Brethren, is not ours the appeal of Christ to you for his neglected and his needy ones? |
12118 | But how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? |
12118 | Does this condition exist at the South? |
12118 | Have our readers ever felt the burden of unanswered letters? |
12118 | How can it be done? |
12118 | How long before Protestant Orangemen and Catholic Irishmen will walk arm and arm in the same procession? |
12118 | How long before the German and Russian and Englishman will recognize the Jew as a brother? |
12118 | How long before they will have sufficient moral discrimination to know what the commandments require? |
12118 | How long before this prejudice will disappear? |
12118 | How long before we can expect a race with such antecedents and environments to be fitted to be left to themselves? |
12118 | How long must it be kept up? |
12118 | How long must it be kept up? |
12118 | How long must this work be kept up? |
12118 | How long will be required for the education of the colored people and the poor whites? |
12118 | How long will it require for race- prejudices to go? |
12118 | How long will this thing be kept up? |
12118 | How much time will be required for the consciousness of having been wronged to wear from the breast and the blood of the black man? |
12118 | How rapidly has the antipathy between races disappeared where the Turk has power? |
12118 | In his poverty what can the Negro student do with this sum in the way of educating himself? |
12118 | In how many Southern States are the same privileges extended to both races in schools? |
12118 | In the beginning of the movement, the cry;"Where does Fisk stand on this question?" |
12118 | Much is being done to promote education by schools and charities, but what are these among so many? |
12118 | Shall not then those churches adopt them in their hearts, carry them in their prayers, and let them suffer no lack in their preparation? |
12118 | The moralizing of a race which has such a history, how long will that require? |
12118 | The problem of the mother country is, How may the scattered colonies be joined in one body whose heart shall be London? |
12118 | They said,"Which one?" |
12118 | V. How long will be required for the_ moralizing_ of the lower classes of the South? |
12118 | Was not he a brand plucked from the burning? |
12118 | What answer must be given? |
12118 | What is precisely a missionary school? |
12118 | What is the sure result of conscious but blind power? |
12118 | What may he not accomplish? |
12118 | What may she not do for Christ? |
12118 | What will you say of the mulattoes? |
12118 | When will this problem be solved? |
12118 | Where is the man or the woman to aid in this godly enterprise? |
12118 | Why here? |
12118 | faster than the whites, and to the South there is little immigration, how long will it be before the blacks preponderate? |
12118 | in cars? |
12118 | in churches? |
12118 | in hotels? |
12118 | of Southern whites, and seventy- three per cent., of Southern blacks? |
12118 | to share in this work so essential and so abundantly fruitful? |
13330 | And I heard, but I understood not: and said I, O Lord,_ what will be the end_ of these things? 13330 And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? |
13330 | To whom then will ye liken God? 13330 A practical question is, How far could such a congregation lapse into an abnormal state and still be a church of God? 13330 After the lapse of long ages he returns near the beginning of the twentieth century, and lo, what is it that meets his astonished vision? 13330 And the apostle says to them,Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the_ Spirit of God dwelleth in you_?" |
13330 | And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? |
13330 | Are all apostles? |
13330 | Are we to expect such a response? |
13330 | But what shall we say of Christ who prayed for such visible unity and died for it? |
13330 | CHAPTER IX THE CHURCH OF THE FUTURE What about the church of the future? |
13330 | Does this divine prediction agree with the facts of history? |
13330 | How do we become members of the divine family? |
13330 | Is the modern sect system the ultimate goal of Christian attainment in this world? |
13330 | Lorenzo Dow says of the Romish Church:"If she be the mother, who are the daughters? |
13330 | Or, Can a church as a body backslide? |
13330 | Shall the earth he made to bring forth in one day? |
13330 | Spiritual- minded men are conscious that things can not long continue as they now are, but what and where is the remedy? |
13330 | The next question to arise is, What date shall we select as the proper time from which to measure this 1,260-year period? |
13330 | The sect spirit is, therefore, essential to the maintenance of the life and individuality of the sect body._[ Sidenote: What is the remedy?] |
13330 | Therefore, whether Protestantism be true or false,_ it_ must be there, but where? |
13330 | To what source, then, are we to trace sects? |
13330 | What does this mean? |
13330 | What harm can it do to give her a hearing?... |
13330 | What is their cause? |
13330 | What may we expect in the future? |
13330 | What was the hope of the world? |
13330 | What will be the fourth? |
13330 | What will constitute the leading characteristics of the church of the future? |
13330 | What will the future bring forth? |
13330 | What, then, is the real cause of sects''? |
13330 | What, then, is the real remedy for sects? |
13330 | When their captors demanded of them the songs of Zion, they answered despairingly,"How shall we sing the Lord''s song in a strange land?" |
13330 | Who can tell? |
13330 | Who hath heard such a thing? |
13330 | Who that embraces them is not ready to give his blood for the fulness of God''s grace?" |
13330 | Who that inquires does not embrace our doctrines? |
13330 | Will the sects themselves fade away and gradually become dissolved? |
13330 | With God withdrawn from the world and Christ absent on a long journey, what was man to do? |
13330 | [ Sidenote: What of the future?] |
13330 | are all prophets? |
13330 | are all teachers? |
13330 | are all workers of miracles? |
13330 | do all interpret? |
13330 | do all speak with tongues? |
13330 | have all the gifts of healing? |
13330 | or shall a nation be born at once? |
13330 | who hath seen such things? |
13330 | who is able to make war with him? |
13330 | who is able to make war with him?" |
29074 | And what is that work? |
29074 | From the Christian stand- point, why not? |
29074 | May it not also be sinful?" |
29074 | Sometimes the question would arise; Is our work done? |
13360 | Are all these 33,583 Protestants more worthy of the name of Christian than some of the Roman Catholics? |
13360 | Are there not enough non- Christians to be converted? |
13360 | Are we to eliminate them? |
13360 | But does that tell us their progress towards self- support unless we know what self- support implies? |
13360 | But how shall we divide them? |
13360 | But is there any expense which we can use to strike the proportion? |
13360 | But what table can we draw? |
13360 | But would not the definition of one great end or purpose hinder us? |
13360 | Can we afford it? |
13360 | Have the educational missionaries any duty in hospitals? |
13360 | Have they any claim upon the care of educational missionaries? |
13360 | How little difference in the work to be done does an error in that estimate make? |
13360 | How then can we discover to what extent the Christians have mastered them? |
13360 | How then can we gather together the returns from all the stations so as to present a view of the work in the province? |
13360 | How then could we gain a vision of the whole, a whole composed of such vast and diverse parts? |
13360 | If so, how many, and on what grounds? |
13360 | Is it not plain that in dealing with considerable areas estimates may be useful though faulty? |
13360 | Is not the denial of the Name to those who claim to be servants of Christ absurd? |
13360 | Knock off or add on 50,000 and is the work to be done seriously affected? |
13360 | Or shall we eliminate some of the 33,583? |
13360 | Suppose we say that we want to send our missionaries where they are most needed, what information must we have to direct us? |
13360 | The first question which we ought to answer in every case where our help is asked is this:"What do we want to do? |
13360 | The second question is:"What must we know to enable us to act discreetly and wisely in this case? |
13360 | Under these circumstances how can we express the position of the native Church with any approximation to truth? |
13360 | What are the doctors there for? |
13360 | What course then can we pursue? |
13360 | What decides the form of their work and the method by which they pursue it? |
13360 | What does the hospital exist to do? |
13360 | What facts are properly to be taken into account in this matter?" |
13360 | What figure then can we use? |
13360 | What is our purpose in doing anything at all here?" |
13360 | What purpose is dominant, what aim really governs the policy of those who send out evangelistic missionaries? |
13360 | What sort of information then are we to seek concerning it? |
13360 | What then does the status of a self- supporting Church imply? |
13360 | What then is meant by a self- supporting Church? |
13360 | When a man asks:"On the basis of what facts ought this or that to be done in the mission field?" |
13360 | Who can tell? |
13360 | Why not ask the man there simply to give the necessary facts and then let the man at home work out for special purposes the various relations? |
13360 | Why, they might adopt a native governmental system-- something which they understood at once, quite easily, and then where should we be? |
28712 | But why should the people have killed the Christians at all? |
28712 | Did the American Missionary Association schools pay? |
28712 | Did we feel rewarded for some sacrifices and privations? |
28712 | Does not that show how education and Christianity increase needs and develop business and commerce? |
28712 | Thus we sow beside all waters; what shall the harvest be? |
28712 | Was n''t this better than some book lessons? |
28712 | Were there no discouragements? |
28712 | What will the harvest be? |
28712 | When the news of this grabbing reached from one end of the Empire to the other, does any one wonder that the Chinese felt harsh toward the foreigners? |
19939 | Do you wonder,adds Mr. Wheeler,"that I returned with a light heart to tell the churches these good news from their mission field?" |
19939 | ''And now?'' |
19939 | ''Did you?'' |
19939 | ''Is he the child of a lawful marriage''? |
19939 | ''Is not the Lord among us?'' |
19939 | ''To what will they charge the difference?'' |
19939 | ''Why do you buy this infidel book?'' |
19939 | ''Why?'' |
19939 | ''Will not that lead them to admit the power of the Gospel? |
19939 | ''Will the village never appear?'' |
19939 | And who that knows anything of human nature, or of the history of our race, ever supposed they would not be guilty of it? |
19939 | He then turned to the members of the other sects and said,''How much do you want of these men?'' |
19939 | I then said,''How much money do you want? |
19939 | Is it too much to pronounce him the Apostle to the Nestorians? |
19939 | One of their earnest questions was,''Can we find salvation in the Greek Church?'' |
19939 | Some days after, I said;"How about the wife?'' |
19939 | The question was not,"What must I do to be saved?" |
19939 | They are such as these:''Does this man understand the Scriptures''? |
19939 | They would say,''What shall we do? |
19939 | What is it to believe? |
19939 | What may not be accomplished by such a party of Christian laborers, going into villages and neighborhoods unreached by other means? |
19939 | What must I do? |
19939 | What shall we answer them?" |
19939 | What shall we collect?'' |
19939 | Will it not honor Christ?'' |
19939 | and"What are the doctrines of the Word of God?" |
19939 | are you not a Christian''?" |
19939 | but"What did our Church teach in the days of its purity?" |
26022 | Where is thy brother? |
26022 | And how is this to be done? |
26022 | And where is the money coming from? |
26022 | Are these conditions due to lack of money? |
26022 | But what of those who are not gathered into these Christian schools? |
26022 | Can we not learn a lesson from the farmer? |
26022 | Can we not, each one of us,_ double our gifts_ to this work in this A. M. A. Jubilee year? |
26022 | Have we brought the tithes all in? |
26022 | Have we done it? |
26022 | How do we know? |
26022 | How is this problem to be solved? |
26022 | Is not that just the place it always begins? |
26022 | Is not this just the reason why our church work is so cold and lifeless? |
26022 | My sisters, what do you think of it? |
26022 | Our offerings-- have they been so much a part of ourselves, have they cost us so much that they have been_ worthy_ tokens of love to our Lord? |
26022 | Shall I speak of the needs of our school boys and girls? |
26022 | Shall we not return their grateful thought, by loving prayers, generous and sympathetic interest and every practical aid? |
26022 | Was there ever such gracious opportunity to the Christian church to gather into the fold the"other sheep"of the Great Shepherd? |
26022 | What is God''s way? |
26022 | What is man''s way? |
26022 | Why can not we use the same wisdom in spiritual matters? |
26022 | Would He bring them in through us? |
21774 | And what, when you have come to it, do you suppose to be your own function in this vast twofold scheme? |
21774 | Are there not here, as the French proverb has it, plenty of cats for you to comb? |
21774 | CHAPTER I WHAT IS MYSTICISM? |
21774 | CHAPTER III THE PREPARATION OF THE MYSTIC Here the practical man will naturally say: And pray how am I going to do this? |
21774 | Dare you call them the least significant, moments of your life? |
21774 | Did you not then, like the African saint,"thrill with love and dread,"though you were not provided with a label for that which you adored? |
21774 | Do you remember that horrid moment at the concert, when you became wholly unaware of your comfortable seven- and- sixpenny seat? |
21774 | Do your hours of contemplation and of action harmonise? |
21774 | Has it never happened to you to lose yourself for a moment in a swift and satisfying experience for which you found no name? |
21774 | How is it going to fit in with ordinary existence? |
21774 | How often in each day do you deliberately revert to an attitude of disinterested adoration? |
21774 | How shall I detach myself from the artificial world to which I am accustomed? |
21774 | How, above all, is it all going to help_ me_?" |
21774 | How, then, can a wholesale and uncritical acceptance of my sensations help me to unite with Reality? |
21774 | Is it for nothing, do you think, that you are thus a meeting- place of two orders? |
21774 | Is that a theophany too? |
21774 | Is there not here, then, abundance of practical work for you to do; work which is the direct outcome of your mystical experience? |
21774 | The ultimate question,"What is Reality?" |
21774 | Then the guardian at the gate, scrutinising and sorting the incoming impressions, will no longer ask,"What use is this to_ me_?" |
21774 | What about_ your_ life? |
21774 | What changes, what readjustments will this self- revelation involve for you? |
21774 | What form, then, shall this action take? |
21774 | What is it that smears the windows of the senses? |
21774 | What is it, then, which distinguishes the outlook of great poets and artists from the arrogant subjectivism of common sense? |
21774 | What is that great wind which blows without, in continuous and ineffable harmonies? |
21774 | What next? |
21774 | What then, in the last resort, is the source of this opposition; the true reason of your uneasiness, your unrest? |
21774 | When the world took on a strangeness, and you rushed out to meet it, in a mood at once exultant and ashamed? |
21774 | Where is the brake that shall stop the wheel of my image- making mind? |
21774 | Who has not watched the intent meditations of a comfortable cat brooding upon the Absolute Mouse? |
21774 | Will you suggest that my terrier, smelling his way through an uncoordinated universe, is a better mystic than I?" |
27316 | Are not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, at his coming?" |
27316 | BUT HOW IS HE GOING TO COME? |
27316 | But some will say:"Do you then make the grace of God a failure?" |
27316 | How did he go up? |
27316 | I will send an angel after you? |
27316 | If I go away I will send death after you to bring you to me? |
27316 | Jesus said unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? |
27316 | LOST OR SAVED? |
27316 | Now let the question go round,"Am I ready to meet the Lord if he comes to- night?" |
27316 | Peter asks the question about John:"Lord what shall this man do? |
27316 | Take 2 Peter 3:4,5:"There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of his coming? |
27316 | Then in 1 Thessalonians, 2:19, he says:"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? |
27316 | They do not want sinners to cry out in their meeting,"What must I do to be saved?" |
27316 | Were the early Christians disappointed then? |
27316 | What does Christ say to them? |
27316 | Where do you get it? |
22331 | A prophet? 22331 Who could abide such a fanatical, fiery fool? |
22331 | Who shall begin the battle? |
22331 | A Chocolate Christian? |
22331 | A man clothed in soft raiment?" |
22331 | A reed shaken by the wind? |
22331 | AND WILT THOU NOT FEAR SHAME? |
22331 | And what did the devil''s agent say when, after John''s death, he heard of Jesus? |
22331 | But how can they call on Him of whom they have not even heard? |
22331 | Ca n''t you go, young woman, and tell them? |
22331 | Can not we Christians re- discover, and put into practice, that of our Great Master and His former pupils, Heroism? |
22331 | Christ Himself asks thee,"Wilt thou be a Malingerer or a Militant?" |
22331 | Did n''t the old prophet say he was a prophet? |
22331 | Do what? |
22331 | Hark to the Savior indulging in an outburst of exquisite sarcasm,"What think ye of John? |
22331 | His army? |
22331 | His cheek pales not, but his mouth moves, and I think I catch his words,"If God be for me who can be against me? |
22331 | His open secret? |
22331 | How was it done? |
22331 | I? |
22331 | In England? |
22331 | Likewise in the Crusades, the kings and princes of State and Church led; then why not today in THE CRUSADE OF CHRIST TO EVANGELIZE THE WORLD? |
22331 | Must you stay, young man? |
22331 | Possessing and enjoying the vineyard, wilt thou, like the husbandman, refuse the agreed rent? |
22331 | Shall your brethren go to war and shall ye sit here? |
22331 | The leaders of religion sent to John to ask him the dearly loved question of every Pharisee,"By what authority doest thou these( good) things?" |
22331 | The result? |
22331 | Was he not the man greatly beloved of God who sent an angel to tell him so? |
22331 | When He comes, shall He find faith on the earth? |
22331 | When were God''s schemes otherwise? |
22331 | Whence did this raw youth derive his pluck and skill? |
22331 | Whence this desperate courage? |
22331 | Where are you now? |
22331 | Who does n''t love and admire him? |
22331 | Wilt thou be a miser and withhold what honour demands of thee? |
22331 | Wilt thou be to Christ the partner of His throne or an emetic( Revelation 3:21); a Militant or a Chocolate Christian? |
22331 | Wilt thou fear death, or devil, or men? |
22331 | Wilt thou fear or wilt thou fight? |
22331 | Wilt thou give like Ananias and Sapphira, who, pretending to give all, gave only part? |
22331 | Yet what hero has eclipsed his feat? |
22331 | and say he''d got the message straight from God? |
22331 | do your deeds give the lie to your words? |
22331 | such an uncompromising character? |
27714 | Why and How? |
27714 | Are we not being well advertised?" |
27714 | But a very natural question remains to be answered, namely, why have these missionaries gone to this island field? |
27714 | Can we, dare we, turn one of these, His little ones, away? |
27714 | First, who have gone in this pioneer band of missionaries to Porto Rico? |
27714 | I said, addressing the leader,"Coyote, what do you want?" |
27714 | She could not talk much, but in their sign language I asked,"Are you a Christian?" |
27714 | What do you think? |
27714 | Where have they gone and what fields are opening? |
27714 | Will not each individual church and Sunday- school see that their contribution for this year is at least a third larger than for the former year? |
27714 | _ Where have these missionaries gone?_ They landed first at San Juan, on the northeastern portion of the island. |
27714 | _ Who have gone to this field? |
19365 | But how can you afford to lose a day''s money like that? |
19365 | But what about the money for all these men? |
19365 | But why are you not working to- day? 19365 Is there too great a burden on the shoulders of the Chinese Christians? |
19365 | Were you not sorry to see them burnt, seeing that you had prepared them so carefully, and had spent a lot of money on them? |
19365 | What about your beads? 19365 Why do n''t you try to save him? |
19365 | But how should she begin? |
19365 | But where was the money to come from? |
19365 | Could such faithful work, done through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and through the constraining love of Christ, be in vain? |
19365 | Could the Lord have dealt more kindly with the old man, who would have had none to lovingly care for him had he passed through a long illness? |
19365 | Did the Lord not have compassion on them, or had He ceased to care? |
19365 | Do you know what happened last week? |
19365 | For Christ''s sake to me; for Christ''s sake to Thee; Oh what, oh what shall the answer be? |
19365 | Had the Lord changed in His love for them, or had He forgotten to be gracious? |
19365 | Her heart is lifted up in prayer to God for a lost world; shall we let her wrestle alone, and let the cry of many a despairing soul go unheeded? |
19365 | Her husband''s death would be at her door, for had she not angered the idols in leaving them? |
19365 | How can you play about like this?" |
19365 | How could she do without it? |
19365 | It comes unto me; it comes unto thee; Oh what, oh what shall the answer be? |
19365 | Now, how much is it worth? |
19365 | On her last Sunday morning on earth she asked,"Who is coming to preach to- day?" |
19365 | Pulling out one straw, and showing it to her, we said,"Do you see that straw? |
19365 | Shall we not unite our voices with hers? |
19365 | Some months before his baptism we asked him,"Grandfather Hsü, what about your boxes of clothes and all your paper money?" |
19365 | Some one said,''I see you have a big burden, have n''t you?'' |
19365 | The writer, putting her hand on Mrs. Lü''s shoulder, said,"Mrs. Lü, what are you doing this morning? |
19365 | This was his dream; but was it not a clear call to that man to seek the things above? |
19365 | Was it not because he believed God and took Him simply at His word? |
19365 | Was it possible to flee from the suffering in the next world? |
19365 | Was there anything that could give her aching heart some comfort, her despairing soul some hope? |
19365 | What about you? |
19365 | What am I to do?" |
19365 | What had happened to the man? |
19365 | What is our part to be? |
19365 | What is the outcome to be? |
19365 | What might that be? |
19365 | What more could be said? |
19365 | What power was there in that strange religion that could make him forgo all the money a weekly day of rest meant to him and his family? |
19365 | What was she to do? |
19365 | What was to be done next? |
19365 | Where are they going to be hung?" |
19365 | Where had they gone? |
19365 | Why did they not prosper in everything as before? |
19365 | Why do you not call them?" |
19365 | Why should he reveal to her what he had hidden from the other worshippers? |
19365 | Yet, what were they to do? |
14383 | But what are they among so many? |
14383 | 3. Who should do it? |
14383 | A life so radiant and beneficent on earth, what must it be now that it has been translated, and transfigured into the celestial? |
14383 | After some days''delay the Secretary of War said to a friend,"What does the Bishop want? |
14383 | And is there any case of urgency about it? |
14383 | Are not these facts suggestive? |
14383 | As for ourselves, what are we disposed to do about it? |
14383 | But does not the magnificent gift of Mr. Hand lift the Association above such dependence on the churches? |
14383 | But how shall we convey to them the blessings of intelligent, Christian home life? |
14383 | But there is a second thought; is this gift to be a blessing to us or a curse? |
14383 | But why enlarge upon these particulars? |
14383 | Can any of our subscribers supply the want to a college so long and so closely identified with the early struggles of the Association? |
14383 | Do you not blush at one of the reasons for this hesitation? |
14383 | He might have done that, but what would have been the gain over the present plan? |
14383 | Hear the Jew:"Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us to die in the wilderness?" |
14383 | How can we help loving such a man? |
14383 | How do you, the individual givers to this Association, regard this gift? |
14383 | If anything is to be done by us, how much should be done? |
14383 | If so, of how much importance is it? |
14383 | Is it not a grand work, worthy your heartiest support? |
14383 | Is it not a proper name, when, in order to get votes, schools are to be closed and children left in ignorance? |
14383 | Is it not at least so well provided for that the churches need not be so regular and liberal in their contributions? |
14383 | Is it worth while to attempt Christian missions among the Chinese in our own country? |
14383 | Is there not here a Divine purpose that the church should be quick to see and prompt to carry out? |
14383 | Only four? |
14383 | Only four? |
14383 | Only four? |
14383 | Shall we allow longer such a stain? |
14383 | Shall we be obliged to constitute Law and Order Leagues to see that the laws of the United States are executed? |
14383 | Shall we leave him with his"Land and Law"without God? |
14383 | Shall we not then meet it as the stewards of God, whose servants and disciples we are? |
14383 | The question now asks itself:"Why were not these hopeful missionary efforts to these pagan tribes more permanent? |
14383 | What are these among so many? |
14383 | What kind of homes do we find among these people, where the children with their impressible minds are receiving their first instruction? |
14383 | What proportion is there between the two? |
14383 | What shall be done with this leadership? |
14383 | What turned the tide of success and left the missions stranded?" |
14383 | What will the Christianity of America do for them? |
14383 | When did the colored man have a better and more faithful friend than he? |
14383 | When it is said, that he is the"best beloved of all,"is it not because he first loved us? |
14383 | Who was more completely and absolutely identified with his interests than he? |
14383 | Who will place a Christian college among the mountain whites? |
14383 | Why should her sons go back to her? |
14383 | Why this cruelty? |
14383 | Will the ladies of the churches provide the means? |
14383 | Will you Christian women-- the women of our churches, come to the aid of the American Missionary Association, in support of your sisters in the field? |
14383 | You may say, what are ten thousand youth among ten millions? |
14383 | You never had to ask, Is Mr. Powell in a proper mood to see his friends to- day? |
14383 | has a theological school, and the Government allows(?) |
18930 | And who,said a weeping Arab, on hearing of his death, smiting on his breast,"who will now present the Gospel to us? |
18930 | What,said his friend,"would you worship the devil?" |
18930 | ''And what if they should? |
18930 | ''Why do you weep?'' |
18930 | ''Why? |
18930 | A number in each came to their teachers with the inquiry,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
18930 | And who would not weep at such a scene? |
18930 | At Beirût, he said, he could only use his pen,"but who is there in this country,"he asked,"that reads?" |
18930 | Be it that I take the blessed Bible as my only guide to heaven, does that injure you? |
18930 | Did you publish this book, entitled"Jonas King''s Defense, etc.?" |
18930 | Do many attend this service in the afternoon? |
18930 | Do you invite people to come to your preaching, or do they come of their own accord? |
18930 | Do you know how to write? |
18930 | Has it, after all, been so disproportioned to the results? |
18930 | Have all our fathers gone to hell?" |
18930 | Have you any defense to make?'' |
18930 | Have you any other service? |
18930 | Have you anything to add? |
18930 | Have you anything to say by way of defense? |
18930 | How many are there, with all our knowledge and strength of religious principle, who, in his situation, would like him be faithful unto death? |
18930 | Is it a crime that renders me worthy of being taken as a malefactor, and sent into confinement?" |
18930 | Must all we have done for salvation go for nothing? |
18930 | Now how much of this has there been in Syria? |
18930 | Of what avail are such pretensions as yours, who are in the broad road to perdition?'' |
18930 | Of what city? |
18930 | Powers thought the effect of these sufferings had been salutary on all the brethren.1 1_ Missionary Herald_, 1806,[ sic, 1846?] |
18930 | The religion of the Oriental Orthodox Church? |
18930 | The two grand inquiries ever present to your minds will be, WHAT GOOD CAN BE DONE? |
18930 | What can be done for Jews? |
18930 | What do you preach? |
18930 | What for Christians? |
18930 | What for Mohammedans? |
18930 | What for Pagans? |
18930 | What for the people in Palestine? |
18930 | What for those in Egypt, in Syria, in Persia, in Armenia, in other countries to which your inquiries may be extended?" |
18930 | What had he here to do? |
18930 | What had he to enjoy? |
18930 | What have I done against you? |
18930 | What is my crime, that it should have called together such an assemblage? |
18930 | What is your age? |
18930 | What is your name? |
18930 | What is your profession? |
18930 | What is your religion? |
18930 | What religion is meant? |
18930 | When he found that they could outreason him, he said, rather petulantly,''What is the use of your talking? |
18930 | When they heard this, they fell to beating him anew, saying,''Have we need of your preaching, you deceiver? |
18930 | Why are you falling out with them? |
18930 | Why should he not leave you?" |
18930 | Why should he stay with you here? |
18930 | Why should you preach? |
18930 | Would it be a calamity to our people to receive the Word of God as a body, and endeavor to follow it? |
18930 | Yet there were opposers at Geog Tapa, who said,"Why all this ado? |
18930 | You have been called a Protestant, and you seek to wipe this blot from your name; but have you not already done enough? |
18930 | Your country? |
18930 | and BY WHAT MEANS? |
18930 | what will they( meaning the missionaries) do unto me?'' |
13069 | And what do you do? |
13069 | Mickey,he said,"why did you lie?" |
13069 | Say,he asked,"Do yoh t''ink a fullah ought to snitch on a kid?" |
13069 | What gang? |
13069 | )__ C_: For what are we bound together? |
13069 | And who will say that the virtue of cheerfulness is not one of the most delightful and welcome forms of philanthropy? |
13069 | Being unable to give an answer immediately favorable to our growing friendship, I countered with"What do_ you_ belong to?" |
13069 | But even so, will the minister consent to be without voice or program in the shaping of social ethics? |
13069 | But how can the schoolboy come into the self- respect of partnership? |
13069 | But how will he go about it? |
13069 | But some will say,"Why take the boy out of the home at all? |
13069 | But what can the minister do? |
13069 | Could he not interest his boys''organization in beautifying the church grounds and so enlist them in a practical altruistic endeavor? |
13069 | D''yu think I''m goin''to have kids lie to me?" |
13069 | Does such an attitude contribute to man''s highest good and to the strength and scope of religious control? |
13069 | How can he relate his life to the great perplexing world and to the God of all? |
13069 | How can he win his immediate battles with temptation? |
13069 | How shall he gain self- control, how can he find himself? |
13069 | If they are unlovely,"smart,"sophisticated, ungrateful, and predatory, what has made them so? |
13069 | In view of such facts, who will think for a moment that we have so much as begun to turn the latent loyalty of boyhood to its highest ethical use? |
13069 | Is it better to alienate and outlaw so important a phase of human existence or to bring it into intelligent accord with the divine will? |
13069 | Is it not better to find new values in the old field than to pursue superficial values in a succession of new fields? |
13069 | Must he dodge the greatest moral problems of the day, all of which are collective? |
13069 | Shall he besiege his church for expensive equipment, perhaps for a new building? |
13069 | Shall he print posters of a great mass- meeting to organize a boys''club? |
13069 | The odd one, the mystery to self and others, is he not the great one that shall occupy the center of the stage in some stupendous drama? |
13069 | The shortage is in deeds, and the doubtful community is saying to the minister,"What do you do?" |
13069 | What course should be followed with the pre- adolescent boy in order that the youth may be not less but more religious? |
13069 | What do the home, school, church, and community tell them as to citizenship, and, of more importance, what civic attitudes and actions are evoked? |
13069 | Who has inverted the prophetic promise and given them ashes for beauty and the spirit of heaviness for the garment of praise? |
13069 | Will he follow meekly and at a safe distance in the wake of the modern movement for economic justice and humane living conditions? |

13533 | But should not the child control himself? |
13533 | Do you mean,''Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord''? |
13533 | How is it that you always have a perfect spelling lesson at school? |
13533 | What is the best way to keep a boy from eating green apples? |
13533 | Why, do n''t you know that Jesus sits in the seat with me every day and helps me? |
13533 | And is it not the one thing above all others, which teachers, mothers, fathers and all of us, need to understand? |
13533 | Before considering this vital question, shall we note some characteristics of the feelings in Early Childhood? |
13533 | But just what is meant by it? |
13533 | But why is the absurdity not equally apparent in saying,"Be loving,""Be sorry,""Be reverent?" |
13533 | Can we be less pitifully tender toward His little ones? |
13533 | First, what kind of impressions should we attempt to store in the memory during childhood? |
13533 | Has not a plant been positively injured when its most beautiful possibilities are unrealized because of unfavoring conditions? |
13533 | He is taken to school by his mother; must she forever accompany him to insure his safe arrival? |
13533 | How is it carried on?" |
13533 | How may the Feelings be Aroused? |
13533 | How then may this great force be nurtured so that greatest results shall follow? |
13533 | I expect to go now, but what of those seven years?" |
13533 | Is it not strange that there is such distorted perspective and false balance of values in regard to what is worth while? |
13533 | Is it not the work of nurture to see that memory is provided with that out of which it can supply every need of the developing life today? |
13533 | Is not a body, undersized and stunted because of lack of fresh air and food, as truly deformed as though the back were bent? |
13533 | Is not the work of nurture plain? |
13533 | Is not this the explanation of so many meagre lives? |
13533 | Is there any question as to the outcome, with a father and a father''s God within? |
13533 | Is there no way of understanding a present experience except by passing through it? |
13533 | Is this one meaning in the Master''s words,"Inasmuch as ye did it,"or"Inasmuch as ye did it not?" |
13533 | It is rather,"Are these things included in the ideal of a Christian life, as it is held by those whom I want to touch?" |
13533 | Must some one always watch him, year after year, to save him from a succession of burns? |
13533 | Second, how may these impressions be made permanent? |
13533 | The First Principle deals with the nature of life-- What is it? |
13533 | The child must do the right, but, in a nutshell-- which is the stronger constraint-- outer or inner? |
13533 | The only legitimate question is,"What is the work of nurture in connection with the feelings?" |
13533 | The question,"What is my touch upon this unfolding life?" |
13533 | This can be done, for the brain will retain the sound of the words, but meantime, what shall the child feed on? |
13533 | To whom shall the task be given? |
13533 | V. The very important question now arises,"How may these crucial times be recognized?" |
13533 | What can be trained? |
13533 | What is the significance of it all in the life of the child? |
13533 | What shall he use? |
13533 | Where does nurture begin? |
13533 | Which makes character surer, the voice without, saying,''You must,''or the voice within which says it? |
13533 | Who was gone? |
13533 | Will hands clumsy and unskilled, miss the perfect beauty, or the touch of master workmanship bring forth a likeness to the Christ? |
13533 | You who let it slip,"How will you go up to your Father and the lad be not with you?" |
13460 | And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? 13460 And When we ask ourselves,What, in point of fact, is the veil that I wear? |
13460 | And why? |
13460 | Are not the remedies which have been proposed for prevalent vices absurdly incompetent? |
13460 | But as soon as we form the wish we say,"What can we do? |
13460 | Do we not reflect a thousand things that Christ disapproves? |
13460 | How can hearts steeped in worldliness reflect this absolutely unworldly, this heavenly Person? |
13460 | How can many of our fellow- citizens secrete themselves for prayer? |
13460 | How can such hearts reflect this perfect purity of Christ? |
13460 | How can you tell in what class in society a man has been brought up? |
13460 | How could they rank Him with those old prophets whom God had dealt with so differently and so plainly honoured? |
13460 | How is it that many of us can come into church and be much more taken up with the presence of some friend than with the presence of Christ? |
13460 | How is it that society moulds a man? |
13460 | How was it that he knew that even though he made his bed in hell he would find God? |
13460 | How was it that the Psalmist, in the changes of the seasons even, in the mountain, in the sea, in everything that he had to do, found God? |
13460 | Is it the appeal that a prospect of gain makes to us that we respond to eagerly? |
13460 | Is it to appeals that this world makes to us? |
13460 | Is this He who can save the lost, He who can bear the weight of a world''s dependence? |
13460 | Look into any family, and what do you see? |
13460 | Might not this ignominious death He looked forward to make it impossible for the people to believe in Him? |
13460 | Nay, did not their sacred books justify them in considering Him accursed of God? |
13460 | Need we ask? |
13460 | Now how is it with us? |
13460 | Surely no man thinks that this is a hardship; that his nature and life will be restricted by giving himself wholly to Christ? |
13460 | This being a common attitude of mind towards fancied blessings, how does God deal with it? |
13460 | Very solemnly our Lord has put it to them:"Who say ye that I am?" |
13460 | Was it not possible that as easy an exodus might befit Him? |
13460 | Was it not, after all, possible that His kingdom might be established by other means? |
13460 | What can we do?" |
13460 | What happens when a person is looking into a shop window where there is a mirror, and some one comes up behind-- some one he knows? |
13460 | What happens when we are living separated from some one we love? |
13460 | What has resulted when we have tried the other process? |
13460 | What have we seen time after time in our own Parliament, but the civil power rending its garments over evils which it can not cure? |
13460 | What is it that has kept me from responding to the perfect beauty of Christ''s character? |
13460 | What is it that our heart responds to when we are engaged in business? |
13460 | What is to be done with such persons? |
13460 | What was He to do if it had not now become plain at least to a few steadfast souls that He was the Christ-- the Messenger of God to men? |
13460 | When we go along the street, what is it that we reflect? |
13460 | When we look into our hearts, what do we find in point of fact? |
13460 | Who commands our reverence as He does? |
13460 | Who has done for us what Christ has done? |
13460 | Who would be now a father in my stead? |
13460 | Why did Peter feel it was good for him to be there? |
13460 | Why is it? |
13460 | Why? |
13460 | Why? |
13460 | Would people not almost necessarily accept the death of the cross as proof that He was abandoned? |
13460 | much more truly may Christ say, Who sins and I am not ashamed? |
30220 | By permission of Mr. Holman Hunt, and of Mrs. Holt, Liverpool] CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE_ How is it that ye sought Me? |
30220 | Now what can this picture teach you? |
30220 | Now, what shall we say is the meaning of the Bible vision which this picture brings afresh before our eyes? |
30220 | What did he mean our minds and hearts to understand by them all? |
30026 | Where was he born? |
30026 | Had the question been, Where was the American Board of Foreign Missions born? |
30026 | He was once asked,"How did you educate four sons at Yale College, and give each a profession?" |
30026 | His teacher then mocked his own awkward style, when he exclaimed several times:"me walk so?" |
30026 | With these ideals in their minds, may we not expect followers of the Judsons, the Moffats, the Fiskes and the Rankins? |
29556 | Can you give us a little fuller account of the work? |
29556 | For is not this, of all others, the enterprise which"takes the gold right out of the country?" |
29556 | Is there any such field in our country as that presented at the South? |
29556 | Second-- Will you aid, and how? |
29556 | The topic for the first night, over which two exercised their powers in the new language was,"Shall we allow the white men in our reservation?" |
29556 | Whom could I suggest? |
29556 | Will not the friends of Christ help us"remember the poor?" |
29556 | and do you have teachers among the poor white women of the South? |
25891 | 20- 23? |
25891 | ARE YOU PREPARED FOR ETERNITY? |
25891 | Am_ I_ willing to give according to_ my_ ability? |
25891 | And how came this? |
25891 | And how should our Father do otherwise? |
25891 | And why not? |
25891 | Are you prepared for eternity? |
25891 | But how were we to obtain warmth? |
25891 | But what was to be done? |
25891 | Do you ask, how you may be prepared for eternity, how to be saved, how to obtain the forgiveness of your sins? |
25891 | Does the Lord love you less than He loves us? |
25891 | He writes:--"What was now to be done, dear reader, under these circumstances, when all the money for the above Objects was again gone? |
25891 | Is it not manifest how precious it is to carry on God''s work in this way, even with regard to the obtaining of means?" |
25891 | May you not do, what we do, under your_ trials_? |
25891 | Or are we better than you? |
25891 | The question now was, to whom shall I be united? |
25891 | Well, the Father in Heaven said, as it were, by this His dispensation,''Art thou willing to give up this child to me?'' |
25891 | What then was to be done? |
25891 | What was now to be done, dear Reader? |
25891 | What was to be done? |
25891 | Would it have been right to charge God with unfaithfulness? |
25891 | Would it have been right to distrust Him? |
25891 | Would it have been right to say, it is useless to pray? |
25891 | You ask, How may I, a true believer, have my faith strengthened? |
25891 | You may say, however,''What would you do, if He should fail in helping you?'' |
30675 | Is there any other form of worship suggested for which as much can be said? |
30675 | The Earl of Rothes in an address spoke thus:"Who pressed that form of service contrary to the laws of God and this kingdom? |
23123 | ` Well,''I said,` what do you think will be done?'' 23123 At length the blacksmith said:Well, Chickka, what have you come for? |
23123 | But what do you do to this god at the feast? |
23123 | Daniel said to the sick man,` Do you believe that their god can harm you?'' |
23123 | Daniel''s wife then added,` But we all think you will die; are you afraid to die?'' |
23123 | G."But do n''t you sweep the floor and sprinkle it with water every day?" |
23123 | G."How do you worship your god? |
23123 | G."How is it, master shepherd, that you do such a silly thing as this? |
23123 | G."Is the temple, where your god is, very clean?" |
23123 | G."What is your name?" |
23123 | G."_ Bir- ap- pa_, eh? |
23123 | Have they given you any of the money to live upon?" |
23123 | He said,` This is a little one, whose is it?'' |
23123 | He took hold of my hand, and said,` What are those?'' |
23123 | Hearing which, the shepherd said to himself,"What trouble has come now? |
23123 | If a temple like this is not clean, what is, Sir?" |
23123 | If anything be said to the people of the village on the subject, they will say,"What can we do? |
23123 | If god''s place is not clean, what is? |
23123 | If one let go your name, he wo n''t catch it again, eh? |
23123 | Many persons in the crowd saw the tears, and they all fell prostrate before the image of clay, and cried aloud,"O mother, why are you shedding tears? |
23123 | On seeing them he said,"What have you brought these things here for?" |
23123 | S."What can I tell you, Sir? |
23123 | S."Who is to sweep it every day, eh? |
23123 | Seeing the shepherd, who thus came and stood, the gentleman entered into conversation with him, as follows: G."Well, Sir,_ Gowda_, who are you?" |
23123 | Then I felt angry too, and replied,` Why do you bawl out in that way? |
23123 | They said,"Will your God maintain you if you sit doing nothing at home?" |
23123 | Well, what is your god''s name?" |
23123 | What connection can there be between boils on a human body and the image of a serpent? |
23123 | What have you got in that box?" |
23123 | What should god be like? |
23123 | When I was an enemy to God, He protected and took care of me; and now I am His child, will He forsake me? |
23123 | Whilst he was going behind, he saw an English gentleman coming along in a travelling carriage, and said to himself,"Who in the world is this? |
23123 | Why should I stay in his way? |
23123 | ` Might we enter without taking off our shoes?'' |
23123 | ` Might we enter?'' |
23123 | and how often?" |
23123 | and where are you going with it?" |
23123 | did your Missionaries leave Goobbe because they had no food?" |
23123 | is it proper to do so? |
23123 | what is he like?" |
20289 | But how could that happen to us? |
20289 | But you''re our minister and teacher, so why do n''t you tell us what you think the job of the church is in this community? 20289 And does not the hammer exist as hammer in relation to the hand that uses it and the object it pounds? 20289 But does not the tree exist in relation to the earth, atmosphere, and water? 20289 But the question that finally emerges is: How do we free ourselves from the distortions of our faith? 20289 But what is communication, and why is it so difficult to achieve? 20289 Does this mean that our attempts to express love should be accepted without correction? 20289 Have we not felt this as we stood in the presence of someone whose love was true? 20289 How can the freedom and power to love be released in them? 20289 How can the life of devotion and the acts of devotion be brought together? 20289 How can we love our children so that they will become givers of love rather than hoarders of it? 20289 How can we secure the attention of others? 20289 How else can we love God than by loving one another? 20289 How shall we describe the new relationship? 20289 I have observed that when people come together in a new group relationship, their basic questions, Who am I? 20289 If someone came to me and asked,How can I find God?" |
20289 | Is it possible that He asked us to do something that is beyond our powers of accomplishment? |
20289 | Is there an answer to these confusions and ambiguities? |
20289 | The answer to his questions, Who am I? |
20289 | The basic question is: Who am I?, and associated with it is its partner question: Who are you? |
20289 | The basic question is: Who am I?, and associated with it is its partner question: Who are you? |
20289 | The great question is: How can we trust when we have such strong feelings of mistrust not only of persons, but also of the process of life? |
20289 | The question then is: What is the mode and place of its self- giving? |
20289 | Were you going to say anything more, Pastor?" |
20289 | What are some of the marks of professionalism? |
20289 | What can clergy and laity now do to find their present and new role in the life of the church and world? |
20289 | What is it that the learner brings that is of such great value to the teacher? |
20289 | What is it that we do not have that we are supposed to receive as a result of our new relationship with Christ? |
20289 | What is it? |
20289 | What is that to- and- fro between one who knows and one who does not? |
20289 | What makes the difference? |
20289 | What possibly can the child have that the parent needs in order to help the child learn and mature? |
20289 | What should the rose- growing father of the little boy have done? |
20289 | What should we do? |
20289 | What, then, are some of these stereotypes? |
20289 | What, then, is the answer to this human problem? |
20289 | What, then, were those concepts and meanings that made it so difficult for them to hear and understand their minister? |
20289 | When asked why they do not discuss problems of the church within the church, ministers often reply:"What would my people think of me? |
20289 | Where would I find the strength and courage for the challenges? |
20289 | Who am I? |
20289 | Would they respond to their opportunities and resources? |
20289 | _ The Purpose of Communication_ The question now needs to be raised: What is the purpose of communication? |
20289 | _ What Is Love?_ Do we know what we mean when we think of love in this way? |
20289 | _ What Is Love?_ Do we know what we mean when we think of love in this way? |
20289 | and Who am I? |
20289 | and Who are you? |
20289 | and Who are you?, are reactivated. |
20289 | or, What is the Good News? |
29165 | Have there been no results during these last twenty years? |
29165 | And what of opportunities? |
29165 | Are we ready for it, ready to work and to win? |
29165 | But do we not all know how much good judgment and wisdom and thought and planning it takes to maintain a_ true home_? |
29165 | Here is the Bible, here are the hymns; who will provide the means to scatter them, and who will go to carry them? |
29165 | I could tell you many things about these faithful Christian Indian women, but do you wish any better proof of the hold Christianity has upon Indians? |
29165 | If you can not go, what hinders you from sending some one? |
29165 | Nicholas_, etc., or money to buy such books as will help to create the reading habit? |
29165 | Now comes the question, What are we doing for the people? |
29165 | Then what hinders the work? |
29165 | There are those who are ready to go, but where is the money to send them? |
29165 | To what better use can the Christians and patriots of our country devote a thousand dollars a day? |
29165 | What can be done for her? |
29165 | What can be done with it? |
29165 | What would_ you_ do for her? |
29165 | Who can measure such privilege? |
29165 | Who will give it, or the money needful? |
29165 | Who will give one or more sets? |
29165 | Who will give$ 3,000 for---- Hall at Tougaloo? |
29165 | Who will go and sing these precious words to those who never heard them? |
29165 | Will not our friends kindly aid us in its circulation, remitting to our treasurer at once what may be gathered for that purpose? |
31848 | Is it likely, that fellowships of fifty or sixty pounds a year should tempt abler or worthier men, than benefices of many times their value? |

26357 | IS THE YOUNG MAN ABSALOM SAFE? |
26357 | In what state is the army? 26357 Is the young man Absalom safe?" |
26357 | And how were the tidings given in those days? |
26357 | And how would the tidings be given in these days? |
26357 | And what do we mean by their safety? |
26357 | Are they safe? |
26357 | Are you astray from Him? |
26357 | But is your eye towards Him, and your heart and your foot moving that way? |
26357 | But of what kind is its youth? |
26357 | But who shall tell the king of this? |
26357 | Do they ask where they shall find Him? |
26357 | From the mouth of David it meant I think only, Does Absalom still live? |
26357 | Have any of the captains fallen?" |
26357 | If it meant only in that case, is he alive? |
26357 | Is he not among the slain? |
26357 | Is it drooping in some minds? |
26357 | Let faith in God fall out of the young man''s heart or the young woman''s heart, and with it all fear of God, and what shall you put in its place? |
26357 | My younger brethren, shall the life that you are living be a blessing to you and not a curse? |
26357 | Or is it well with him? |
26357 | Shall it be to those around you a blessing and not a curse? |
26357 | Shall the Absaloms abound? |
26357 | The father of the son who is astray waiteth not in the chamber between the walls until he may ask of the messengers who come, Is my son safe? |
26357 | Was the slaughter great? |
26357 | We know there are some in these days who ask the question--"Are you saved?" |
26357 | What instead of this shall keep them straight in their way? |
26357 | Who shall tell the king of what has happened? |
26357 | meaning by that,"Have you the eternal salvation?" |
26357 | not fulfilling His word? |
26357 | or the Josephs and the Josiahs? |
26357 | shall hold them safe? |
26357 | still the word is to be noted: Is he safe? |

14596 | How could we be aware of that infinite distance, if there were not something within us which can span the infinite? |
14596 | How could we feel that God and man are incommensurable, if we had not the witness of a higher self immeasurably above our lower selves? |

14596 | Quite in the spirit of St. John he asks,"How can that course be safe, which from the first produces carelessness to human love?" |
14596 | See the whole sermon, entitled,_ What is Religion?_ and many other parts of the book.] |
14596 | Should I approach the angels? |
14596 | The question is, which of the two sets of words best expresses the relation of the ransomed soul to its Redeemer? |
14596 | The question was naturally raised,"If man by putting on Christ''s life can get nothing more than he has already, what good will it do him?" |
14596 | We may invert it, What do you return within to see? |
14596 | What can it matter whether I say my prayers in church or at home, on my knees or in bed, in words or in thought only? |
14596 | What can it matter whether the Eucharistic bread and wine are consecrated or not? |
14596 | What then is our security against delusions? |
14596 | What then? |
14596 | Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? |
14596 | Why then do men take offence at the dispensation of the mystery taught by the Incarnation of God, who is not, even now, outside of mankind?... |
14596 | Will Patæcion the thief be happier in the next world than Epaminondas, because he has been initiated?" |

16172 | Are you ever troubled by hoodlums? |
16172 | Are you in that work? |
16172 | Do you get no protection from the police? |
16172 | How shall this problem be solved? 16172 Why,"said I,"what are you talking about?" |
16172 | And have we not forgotten that the God of the Gibeonites lives to be the avenger of the Indians? |
16172 | And what was the result? |
16172 | And why? |
16172 | Are you willing to take the cost?'' |
16172 | But is it more than a look? |
16172 | But is n''t there something in it after all? |
16172 | But now what may we learn from Christ himself in the New Testament? |
16172 | But who are these for whom we are peculiarly responsible, and why is there so especial need of_ woman''s_ work? |
16172 | But", he adds,"what do we see? |
16172 | Can we meet this duty with less than$ 500,000 for the current year? |
16172 | Do n''t you know, and I know that the world is growing smaller every year? |
16172 | Do we believe that all men are brothers? |
16172 | Do we believe that the Holy Ghost who renewed our hearts can renew these? |
16172 | Do we believe that the Lord who died for us, died for the world? |
16172 | Do we stop to estimate what two millions of souls means? |
16172 | Do you believe these facts are accidents? |
16172 | Do you imagine that that fact would absolve us from allegiance to the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ? |
16172 | Do you know that that ancient foe of liberty is stalking all across the twelve States of the South? |
16172 | Do you know what it means to have the Church of Rome take in hand these people of lowly and of feeble intelligence? |
16172 | Do you know what that means? |
16172 | Does one strike me? |
16172 | Have not these"Busy Bees"in New Hampshire set a good example to other children''s societies? |
16172 | Have we not broken almost every treaty that we ever made with them? |
16172 | Have we not said, unpityingly regarding them, that their destruction before the advance of civilization is inevitable? |
16172 | How are you going to manage this thing? |
16172 | How did it ever spring from an expenditure of$ 11,000 annually to$ 52,000, as it is to- day? |
16172 | How many hundred have they? |
16172 | How shall we prevent the conflict between races?" |
16172 | Is it a dream? |
16172 | Is it not the problem as to which of two theories shall maintain itself concerning the masses which are at the base of society? |
16172 | Is it not worse to mash and disable a mind and a soul than a hand? |
16172 | Is n''t it better that eight millions shall go? |
16172 | Is n''t it the problem here concerning white and black, red and yellow alike? |
16172 | Is n''t that the problem in every nation? |
16172 | Is this magnificent sum too much to ask for the year now auspiciously begun? |
16172 | Might it not compose the differences? |
16172 | More than all, shall the great gospel of God, which is life, and hope, and peace, and home, for us, be nothing for them? |
16172 | Shall the greatest tidal wave of all time pass them by, and they not feel it for a moment? |
16172 | Shall this$ 500,000 for the current work of the Association for 1889 be furnished to it? |
16172 | The first question was: How shall liberty be proclaimed to the captive and the enslaved become free? |
16172 | The labor problem, do you call it? |
16172 | The subject for discussion was,"How Shall We Black Men Secure Our Rights?" |
16172 | Were any of you down at Oklahoma this last season? |
16172 | Were not they, it may be asked, virtually created into a separate and exclusive nation, and taught to look upon themselves as God''s peculiar people? |
16172 | What can the Secretary do? |
16172 | What could she do? |
16172 | What do we propose to do about it? |
16172 | What do you think would have been his response to that sort of argument? |
16172 | What is it? |
16172 | What is it? |
16172 | What is it? |
16172 | What is the problem of the planet to- day? |
16172 | What then? |
16172 | What was the result of the story? |
16172 | What, my brethren, shall be our answer? |
16172 | When this people in the wilderness cried out in their distresses,"Who will speak for us?" |
16172 | Who but the Christian women of our churches, either directly or by substitutes? |
16172 | Who should do it, and how? |
16172 | Who should do it? |
16172 | Whom is it for? |
16172 | Would not the value of organization be shown in the larger flow of funds annually for a work of such pressing necessity as this? |
16172 | here just now and here so persistently? |
28479 | And might it not be good for us to remember that there_ are_ saints and angels, and that we are"compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses?" |
28479 | And whence those angels there?" |
28479 | And wilt Thou not in mercy say,"Thy many sins I take away"? |
28479 | Are there no joys that linger long In sweetness, like a heavenly song? |
28479 | But is ignorance in many cases not culpable? |
28479 | But why refer specially to Russia as a product of Greek missionary effort? |
28479 | Did e''er such love incline the heart To take the erring sinner''s part? |
28479 | Do not they who tacitly ignore the existence of the Blessed Dead? |
28479 | How would the Church in these islands have stood such fiery trials? |
28479 | I Heavy laden with thy grief, Do thy tears like raindrops flow? |
28479 | I Within the garden''s sombre shade, The Christ of God in anguish prayed;-- And who that agony could tell, As from his brow the blood- drops fell? |
28479 | II Did''st Thou not send the Son, To shew the Father''s grace, To bid a world undone Arise and seek His face? |
28479 | II Say, came He forth by myriads led?-- Come, gaily sound his praises high; A crown of gold upon his head? |
28479 | II Why seek the vain that dies? |
28479 | II"Can you not watch one hour?" |
28479 | II"Who is this in garb of light, Come to chase our night away? |
28479 | III And all my aims are lost, And all my striving vain,-- Wilt Thou refresh my soul, And visit me again? |
28479 | III Are there no gains that last, To bless the soul for aye, When passing things are past, And things of earth decay? |
28479 | III Did e''er such mercy lead the great To stoop from high to low estate? |
28479 | III Hast thou no oil? |
28479 | III Weary, laden with thy sin, Dost thou bow beneath the load? |
28479 | III"O whence that flashing sword that gleams? |
28479 | IV Wilt Thou own the gift I bring? |
28479 | Is it not so in our case? |
28479 | Its echo dying, lingered, sank,"My Lord, have I no grace to thank?" |
28479 | Such is their reputation, not always just, but who can say that it has not, on the whole, been earned? |
28479 | The fame, the power that flies With the expiring breath? |
28479 | The good that carries ill besides, And for a fleeting hour abides? |
28479 | The life begirt by death? |
28479 | To an unpractised eye, if no indication of the source of these hymns had been given, could anything about them have suggested their source? |
28479 | V"O let me in, my lamp''s aglow; How could I, Lord, Thy coming know? |
28479 | What, then, is the net result? |
28479 | Who doubts the fact? |
28479 | Who is this in glorious might, Brings to us eternal day?" |
28479 | Why didst thou not the hours control? |
28479 | Why in the darkness slumber still, Without the oil your lamp to fill? |
28479 | Would Rome, or the Church of the Reformation in the West, be what they are to- day, but for the zeal and devotion of that Church in bye- gone days? |
28479 | Would we have continued an enterprising missionary Church through it all? |
30370 | There is He,I faintly whispered,"Read I not upon His face, That his heart is full of pity, Full, to sinful worms, of grace?" |
30370 | And must the cross attend my way, And load my spirit night and day? |
30370 | Are there none of my companions, Will from life attend me forth, Or will fondly watch beside me In the cold and silent earth? |
30370 | Are there not myriads now in bliss, Whose cry on earth was often this? |
30370 | Fix a dwelling, Lord, in Goshen-- Shall thine Israel be denied? |
30370 | For Thou hast crownèd her with flowers, And, more than all, with saving love: What debt so great can be as hers; What diadem may worthy prove? |
30370 | From Edom whom see I returned More beauteous than break of the dawn? |
30370 | O hear the groaning Of the earth beneath her wrong; Time it is that thou wert stirring, Why, O why hast slept so long? |
30370 | Rescue Zion for thy praise, From affliction: Are not these the promised days Of salvation? |
30370 | Shedding tears and heaving sighs, When my need of thee is greatest, When thy doting votary dies? |
30370 | Strange Thou shouldst have looked on me-- Worthless, guilty: Who can count my debt to Thee, Lord, most holy? |
30370 | The ravenous wolf lurks near thy path; No fold is nigh, where wilt thou flee? |
30370 | Thorns had the Saviour of mankind His only Crown while here below: Could Earth no other garland find With which to deck his holy brow? |
30370 | Unhappy soul, what sayest thou To one with power and love All thy transgressions to forgive, Thy misery to remove? |
30370 | Was he a King? |
30370 | What thy portion, joy or mourning, In the world beyond the tomb? |
30370 | When I depart for other worlds, What friend will cleave to me? |
30370 | When death''s cold and turbid waters, To their bosom me receive, Who will dissipate the darkness, Who my terror will relieve? |
30370 | When shall thy bliss be mine? |
30370 | Where thine everlasting home? |
30370 | Where will be thine endless dwelling? |
30370 | Who amid the swelling billows Can sustain my sinking head? |
30370 | Wilt follow Him, poor guilty soul? |
30370 | Wilt follow Him, sad, needy soul? |
30370 | wilt thou not prove That strong and deep Foundation Which Earth, nor Hell, can move? |
30370 | yea; to his throne Heaven, Earth, and Hell allegiance owe; Nor glory his, nor power alone,-- What heart such depths of grief can know? |
31670 | And is there any one fact, which the progress of events is now making, more manifest than the oneness of all mankind? |
31670 | But though we will not meddle with public affairs, who shall answer for it that public affairs will not meddle with us? |
31670 | How can it be otherwise? |
31670 | Who can help having his attention arrested and engrossed? |
31670 | Who shall define the circle and the sphere of the private individual? |
31670 | Who would not rather suffer with the Right than prosper with the Wrong? |
31670 | what heart, hitherto cold, will not consecrate itself to the work of its abolition? |
31670 | what if I am political? |
31670 | what if every pulpit in the land should be ringing in these days with political events? |
13294 | Keeping in touch with Godis an expression much used in these days by people professing holiness, but what does it imply? |
13294 | Such a picture,you may say,"is very beautiful and inspiring to look upon, but where is the reality?" |
13294 | What? 13294 A strange, sweet vision fills my soul, A glimpse of glory and of God; Am I not near life''s final goal? 13294 After a life of toil, what will be the pleasure of meeting all the loved in heaven? 13294 And would you know the reason why this is? 13294 Are not these pictures the blood of the poor maid? 13294 Are there not many little things in your home life that you can improve upon? 13294 Are you concerned about the peace of your soul? 13294 Breezes murm''ring through the branches, Waters rippling o''er the stone, What, oh, what must be the anthem Ringing round the great white throne? 13294 But are there not impressions given by an evil spirit? 13294 But is it really true that we are to have the same degree of freedom from care or anxiety that the fowls or the lilies have? 13294 But what is the church of God? 13294 But what is this pure river of water of life? 13294 But, what is the first love? 13294 Dear pilgrim, have you reached the land ofeternal weights of glory"or the regions where"joy is unspeakable"? |
13294 | Did you ever attempt to look to the end of eternity? |
13294 | Did you say you had not time for prayer? |
13294 | Do men and angels meet to sing? |
13294 | Do you desire to feel the holy flame of love burning in all its intensity in your soul? |
13294 | Do you have any desire to become more like Jesus? |
13294 | Do you long for deeper joys? |
13294 | Do you not remember it, dear reader? |
13294 | Do you want them to know how good and great the Lord is, and nothing more? |
13294 | Do you want to do all you can for him? |
13294 | Do you want to dwell in heaven with him forever? |
13294 | For what end do you want these ornaments? |
13294 | Has he been stirring up your nest? |
13294 | Has he flung you out until you feel lost in an element that is new and strange? |
13294 | Have they any beauty? |
13294 | Have you endeavored to comprehend its duration? |
13294 | Have you ever seen an eagle stir up her nest? |
13294 | Have you not often been in some solitary place and given yourself into the arms of Muse? |
13294 | Have you not stood beside the infant''s crib and watched it go peacefully to sleep? |
13294 | Have you nothing to cover you but that thin gown?" |
13294 | He spoils everything; what for? |
13294 | How many golden moments are flying away into eternity unladen with any fruit from your life? |
13294 | I hear the notes of seraph song, The rustle of an angel''s wing; Do signs like these to earth belong? |
13294 | If he so clothes each tuft and tree And gives the birds such liberty, Will he not clothe and care for me? |
13294 | Is a happy life worth anything to you? |
13294 | Is not that mother bird cruel? |
13294 | Let me ask you, Are you as diligent in every respect as the Bible commands you to be? |
13294 | O my young reader, will you not be watchful and prayerful and let God live in you and bring forth fruit to his own glory? |
13294 | O reader, has your case been described? |
13294 | Satan understood this in the case of Job; so he said to the Lord,"Doth Job serve God for naught?" |
13294 | Some one may ask,"Is not marriage honorable? |
13294 | Some one may have done you much harm, now what must you do? |
13294 | Songs of birds and streamlet rippling, Meadow, flowers, and leafy tree, Make of earth a land of beauty-- What indeed must heaven be? |
13294 | The One who clothes the lily fair And gives it tender, earnest care-- Will he not hear my fervent prayer? |
13294 | The One who notes the sparrow''s fall-- Does he not love his creatures all? |
13294 | The zephyrs blow divinely sweet, With fragrance fill the balmy air; Are heav''n and earth about to meet? |
13294 | Then what does she do? |
13294 | Thou hast adorned thy wall with the money which might have screened this poor creature from the cold''? |
13294 | To please God? |
13294 | We shall also ask, Is it really possible? |
13294 | What if the duties do seem hard and the way seems weary? |
13294 | What if the thorns prick your feet? |
13294 | What is it? |
13294 | What is she doing? |
13294 | What must be a language without love? |
13294 | What then? |
13294 | What, in its true sense, is a holy life? |
13294 | When will individuals learn that they have a spiritual as well as a physical existence, and that the spiritual is the more important of the two? |
13294 | Where are the eaglets? |
13294 | Where shall I spend it? |
13294 | Where was the pain? |
13294 | Where, I say, can you find more of heaven? |
13294 | Who can this vision bright declare? |
13294 | Who knows what the morrow may have in store? |
13294 | Who would not consider it a great honor and blessed privilege to be admitted into the courts of the lords and the kings of earth? |
13294 | Why are there so many anxious hearts, so much unrest, so many discontentments and fears? |
13294 | Why does she disturb the eaglets? |
13294 | Will you do it? |
13294 | and does not God join hearts together in love?" |
13294 | and would you love to have them grace your own soul? |
13294 | for a closer walk with God? |
13294 | for a greater sense of the divine fulness? |
13294 | for a sweeter balm of hope to be shed upon your soul? |
13294 | know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" |
13294 | or do you want them to know that you are the author? |
13294 | who can repeat this word and not feel and hear a sweet rythm reverberating through all the avenues of his spiritual being? |
30085 | ''Where then is the glory of salvation?'' |
30085 | ''Why''said he,''did the Magi see the star in the East and none else? |
30085 | ''Why, is it not said in the gospel,''rejoined he,''that we must repent?'' |
30085 | But as you burn with the intenseness and rapid blaze of heated phosphorus, why should we not make the most of you? |
30085 | He answered very coolly''Yes,''as much as to say,''What then?'' |
30085 | How should this consideration quell the tumult of anger and impatience when I can not convince men''the government is on His shoulders?'' |
30085 | How then could it fail of being a moment of extreme anguish when he came to the deliberate resolution of leaving forever all he held dear upon earth? |
30085 | I asked him,''What sinners must do to obtain pardon?'' |
30085 | I asked,''Would repentance satisfy a creditor or a judge?'' |
30085 | Is that a correct notion?'' |
30085 | Is this an abstract and refined notion?'' |
30085 | My Moonshee said,''How can you prove this book( the gospel), to be the word of God?'' |
30085 | One of them said,''What will you say when your tongue is burnt out for this blasphemy?'' |
30085 | The former asked''if Christ had ever called himself God-- was he the Creator or a creature?'' |
30085 | The man grew quite mild and said it was_ chula bat_( good words), and asked me seriously at last what I thought,''Was idol worship true or false?'' |
30085 | The pale- faced Frank among them sits; what brought him from afar? |
30085 | The young man assented to this and said,''of what use is it?'' |
30085 | This seemed very offensive to them,''and why must he be alone''? |
30085 | Two young men from the college came, full of zeal and logic, to try me with hard questions such as, whether being be but one or two? |
30085 | What do I not owe to the Lord for permitting me to take part in a translation of His word? |
30085 | What have I done, thought I, to merit all this scorn? |
30085 | What is the state and form of disembodied spirits? |
30085 | Where should the Phoenix build her odoriferous nest, but in the land prophetically called''the blessed?'' |
30085 | You allow the divine mission of Christ, said I, why need I prove it? |
30085 | and how was it possible that their king should come to Jerusalem in seven days?'' |
30085 | and where shall we ever expect, but from that country, the true Comforter to come to the nations of the East? |
30085 | from what part of the East did they come? |
19308 | ''A witness of what?'' 19308 And who is JESUS?" |
19308 | Are there any in Rangoon? |
19308 | Are they foreigners? |
19308 | Are you willing to part with me? 19308 Art Thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? |
19308 | But how,he asked,"came the wish for this knowledge?" |
19308 | Can a mother forget? |
19308 | Has God commanded kings and indunas to learn His word? |
19308 | He is neither born nor begets,cried the Moollahs; and one said,"What will you say when your tongue is burnt out for blasphemy?" |
19308 | How do you hope to obtain forgiveness? |
19308 | How is your heart to be changed? |
19308 | How many were present? |
19308 | O vagabond,cried one man,"why didst thou not come to my house? |
19308 | Said I,writes Mr. Judson,"knowing his deistical weakness, do you believe all that is contained in the book of St. Matthew which I gave you? |
19308 | What was that sacrifice? |
19308 | What? 19308 What?" |
19308 | Who is GOD? |
19308 | Why do things go so well with them and so hardly with me? |
19308 | Will this be better than what I have found? |
19308 | Will you forgive injuries? |
19308 | Will you renounce all idolatry, feasts, poojahs, and caste? |
19308 | Will you renounce the world, the flesh, and the devil? |
19308 | Will you suffer for Christ''s sake? |
19308 | And where shall we ever expect but from that country the true Comforter to come to the nations of the East?" |
19308 | And who can paint our mutual joy When, all our wanderings o''er, We both shall clasp our infants three At home on Burmah''s shore? |
19308 | Are you like the Portuguese priests? |
19308 | Are you married?" |
19308 | Are you sure there is such a thing in existence, or are you merely subject to a delusion of the senses?" |
19308 | But as you burn with the intenseness and rapid blaze of phosphorus, why should we not make the most of you? |
19308 | But even if only one is gained, is not that an exceeding gain? |
19308 | But what was the word I spoke last? |
19308 | He writes:"What should a young minister do? |
19308 | How do you suppose we can waste any more time in praying for you?" |
19308 | If a British cruiser descended on a slave- ship, and released her freight, should he not also deliver the captive wherever he met him? |
19308 | If any of them did wrong, the alternative was--"Will you go to the Rajah''s court, or be punished by me?" |
19308 | If she answered,"It is matter,"he would reply,"And what is matter? |
19308 | In particular, do you believe that the Son of God died on a cross?" |
19308 | In the sun the bright waves glisten; Rising slow with solemn swell, Hark, hark, what sound unwonted? |
19308 | Is it an idea or a nonentity?" |
19308 | Is it matter or spirit? |
19308 | Is there no magic in the touch Of fingers thou dost love so much? |
19308 | Mr. Brown, on hearing of his plan, consented in these remarkable terms:"Can I then bring myself to cut the string and let you go? |
19308 | Presently he inquired,"How long a time will it take me to learn the religion of JESUS?" |
19308 | She wept much, and the Bishop said,"Bring them both to me; who knows whether they may live to wish for it again?" |
19308 | Such bitter disappointments occur in missionary life; and how should we wonder, since the like befel even St. Paul and St. John? |
19308 | The examination was thus, the Bishop standing in the midst:--"Are you sinners?" |
19308 | They demanded of him:"In the Gospel of Christ, is anything said of our Prophet?" |
19308 | Was Corpus very much changed, when, only eleven years after, John Keble entered it at the same age? |

12042 | O Bessie,cried the mother,"what has happened to detain you? |
12042 | O Mama,said Bessie,"are n''t you going with the rest?" |
12042 | O my child,he sobbed,"will you forgive me and come back as soon as the Lord will let you? |
12042 | Shall we live with Aunt Emma again? |
12042 | What can be keeping Bessie tonight? |
12042 | What time was that? |
12042 | Again, I hear a parent whose loved companion has recently died say,"What can I do now to train my children aright?" |
12042 | And do you remember that you said some time you would tell me more?" |
12042 | As she passed him, he whispered,"Bessie, what is the matter with your face?" |
12042 | Beaching out very timidly, Bessie touched her and said,"O Miss Harrington, wo n''t you please forgive me?" |
12042 | But how about the excursion party? |
12042 | But, in the meantime, how were her parents feeling? |
12042 | Can it not have the same confidence when it is older? |
12042 | Can you not point to a time when there was a drifting from your home circle? |
12042 | Dear child, where have you been?" |
12042 | Did you at that time lift up your home banner and shield? |
12042 | Did you tell him of the rapids in the distance? |
12042 | Do n''t you think that is dreadful?" |
12042 | Do you think Jesus would go to a circus? |
12042 | Do you think it would be proper to try to change it? |
12042 | Do you think you could get any good should you go? |
12042 | Do you wonder why something snug around your waist could be harmful? |
12042 | Does n''t she ever get lonesome? |
12042 | Have you talked thus to your boy? |
12042 | Have you told the boy all that? |
12042 | How could her teacher ever love and respect her again? |
12042 | I was determined to do this-- but how was I to do it? |
12042 | If it is God''s will to take him, can I submit?" |
12042 | If not, why not? |
12042 | If so, do you not think that a little less labor with your hands and a little time spent with them would be more profitable? |
12042 | If you need anything, write to me at once and let me know about it, wo n''t you?" |
12042 | In her distress she cried to the Lord, saying,"Dear Lord, what can this mean? |
12042 | Is it not worth some self- denial, some sacrifices, on pour part, to have your home spoken of in this manner? |
12042 | Is that so? |
12042 | It may take a little of your time, but what of that? |
12042 | Mr. Worthington must be told, and-- would he be willing? |
12042 | Must I go through another test with one of my children? |
12042 | My dear friend, can you not remember when this state of things began? |
12042 | On receiving the package, Bessie looked at the corset and said,"Mama, shall I wear it?" |
12042 | She began to ask herself:"Do I believe that God can heal that child? |
12042 | She did not move; and when the teacher said sternly,"Are you going to obey?" |
12042 | She would ask her pardon as soon as possible, but would she forgive her? |
12042 | Should one of your children ask,"Mama, who was Bessie Worthington?" |
12042 | Something must be done; but what? |
12042 | The large blue eyes slowly unclose; a look of disappointment comes into them as she says,"Where has Jesus gone?" |
12042 | The next thought was,"What will Mama think and say? |
12042 | The thought came,''What will people think of me? |
12042 | Then she told about the surprise party and about all that had happened, and concluded by asking,"Mama, is it right to dance?" |
12042 | To whom could I go for help? |
12042 | Upon entering her home she immediately asked her husband,"How is Louise?" |

12042 | What work is more noble, more elevating than the teaching of the undeveloped mind? |
12042 | When Bessie got home the next morning, her mother asked,"Well, dear, did you have a good time?" |
12042 | When she answered,"Yes,"he said quickly,"Do n''t you think I''m old enough now?" |
12042 | While he was preparing to leave for school, his mother said,"You will no doubt be made sport of today; are you able to bear it?" |
12042 | Why was this? |
12042 | Why, Bessie, where is your faith? |
12042 | Why, child, what is the matter with you?" |
12042 | Would God forgive her again? |
12042 | Would it not be best to leave his mind free from these ideas until he is older?" |
12042 | Would she do right to let her child slip from under her parental care? |
12042 | You know I never wanted to leave home before; and if you wo n''t let me return, what shall I do?" |
12042 | You''ve heard your conscience speaking to you, have n''t you, Bessie?" |
12042 | what about her teacher? |
12042 | what could she do? |
12042 | when he began to crave the association of others more than that of his own brothers and sisters? |
12042 | when home life began to seem too narrow for your child? |
12042 | why had she not examined the child closely then? |
12042 | why in homes of promised bliss May not this gem be found?" |
12042 | why is this? |
12042 | would God give her back her child? |

13677 | Breathing now an atmosphere of ineffable Purity, shall he miss becoming pure? |
13677 | But if it know not God? |
13677 | But what are the possibilities of this spiritual organism? |
13677 | But who is to define the limits of the spiritual? |
13677 | But who will not rather approve the arrangement by which man in his creatural life may have unbroken access to an Infinite Power? |
13677 | Can the embryo FASHION ITSELF? |
13677 | Can the protoplasm CONFORM ITSELF to its type? |
13677 | Can we shut our eyes to the fact that the religious opinions of mankind are in a state of flux? |

15082 | How many politicians-- the people to whom we have confided the control of our national existence-- work and will in quiet love? |
15082 | If anyone who has followed these arguments, and now desires to bring them from idea into practice, asks:"What next?" |

15082 | What about the hurried, ugly and devitalizing existence of our big towns? |
15082 | What about the master and the worker in such a possibly regenerated social order? |

31490 | A State religion does any one dread? |
31490 | All men? |
31490 | And if it do not, what is our duty but to contribute all the influence we can bestow, by speech or example, to introduce a change? |
31490 | And shall we, their sons, forget the God whom our fathers acknowledged? |
31490 | But who can for a moment seriously believe that such a purpose is entertained by one who loves, or by one who understands, American institutions? |
31490 | Is not religion the supreme law; so acknowledged by the people of this land, at least by the thoughtful and sober part of the people? |
31490 | Is not this wrong, is it not deplorable? |
31490 | It is liberty to do right-- nothing more than this; what more could an honest man desire? |
31490 | Let the conduct of statesmen in all ages be brought to this standard, and how will it bear the test? |
31490 | May the law of brotherly love be virtually abrogated by the institutions or the habits of society? |
31490 | Now why shall the politician be released from the demand made upon every one else? |
31490 | Ought it not to exist in a Christian nation? |

26033 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
26033 | Now what is the result? 26033 Say not my soul,''Can God relieve my care?'' |
26033 | Yes; but who are you? |
26033 | ''Did I not die for thee? |
26033 | ***** A short time since I asked a dear friend whose writings have reached and inspired multitudes throughout the Christian world:"How did you do it?" |
26033 | At the close of the meeting I said,"Can I help you?" |
26033 | But how could I live Christ? |
26033 | But, Lord, to- morrow? |
26033 | Can we doubt that their prayers had something to do with the marvelous revival movement which followed? |
26033 | Could I have borne it had I known then that almost forty years would pass before that yearning would be satisfied? |
26033 | Could I, in a word, ever hope to be able to live Christ as well as preach him? |
26033 | Do I not live for thee? |
26033 | Does this case of unanswered prayer shake my faith in God''s willingness and power to answer prayer? |
26033 | Fan''s, the message of James 5:14, 15, kept coming persistently to me, as if spoken by a voice:"Is any sick among you? |
26033 | Here again Paul seemed to feel no fear, but said,"Mother, what does this put you in mind of? |
26033 | How could they be, when no record of prayer has been kept all these fifty years? |
26033 | How then could we support the men we had, and go on with the work which was opening so gloriously before us after years of hard pioneer preparation? |
26033 | I handed the letter to my daughter, saying:"Shall we not believe that God will undertake for us? |
26033 | I looked at her in amazement, and almost gasped:"Are you the one who spoke to Mr. Goforth Saturday night?" |
26033 | I thought,"Can this be the Christian courage I have looked for?" |
26033 | Is it much wonder I can say I know God answers prayer? |
26033 | Is it not true, in our human relationships with our children, that we see best to grant at one time what we withhold at another? |
26033 | Is not Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to- day, and forever? |
26033 | Not for a moment did I think there was anything in the purse till my brother said:"You foolish girl, why do n''t you open it?" |
26033 | Oh, is not the goodness and forbearance of our God wonderful; wonderful that he ever again would deign to give help when asked for it? |
26033 | One day Mr. Goforth came to me with his Bible open at the promise,"My God shall supply all your need,"and asked:"Do we believe this? |
26033 | Or did he allow the children to suffer in the years that followed, when months each year were spent with them right out among the people? |
26033 | Shall there be rest from toil, Be truce from sorrow? |
26033 | So what could I do? |
26033 | Some have asked,"But have you never sinned?" |
26033 | The question that weighed heavily was,"Should I cancel the meetings for which I had given my word?" |
26033 | The question was, where could we flee? |
26033 | The thought came-- if you can not trust God for this, when Hudson Taylor could trust for so much more, are you worthy to be a missionary? |
26033 | They would just wake up enough to get dressed and ask sleepily,"Are we going again, Mama?" |
26033 | Was God faithful to the vision he had given me? |
26033 | Was it possible that I could ever really stop worrying? |
26033 | Was it possible, with such a nature as mine, ever to become patient and gentle? |
26033 | Was it possible? |
26033 | We believed that it was his pleasure and purpose to save men and women through his human channels, and why not from the beginning? |
26033 | What kept them back that day? |
26033 | What more helpful and inspiring than a ringing testimony of_ what God has done_? |
26033 | What of to- morrow, Lord? |
26033 | Why did they not kill us then? |
26033 | Why indeed? |
26033 | Why should the Lord lead this woman to me-- the only one, so far as we knew, who could do the machine work-- and then permit her to leave? |
26033 | Why should we wonder, therefore, at his healing touch in this age? |
26033 | Why, indeed? |
26033 | Why, then, was she not spared? |
26033 | _ I know God answers prayer!_"I have been asked the question:"Has God_ always_ given you just what you have asked for?" |
26033 | _ he said_ that he would hear, And proved his promise, wherefore didst thou fear? |
26033 | is there_ anything_ too hard for ME?" |
29666 | Are the glad tidings,he asked,"which through seventeen hundred years passed from confessing lips to listening ears still not preached?" |
29666 | You call me a self- seeking fanatic, but if I be that, why are you yourself silent? 29666 And who could better furnish these than Grundtvig? 29666 But are not such contradictions expressive of life itself? 29666 But the heroic age of Christianity-- was it possible then that Christianity too could rise to the heroic? 29666 But what could he do? 29666 Could he, for instance, continue his writings? 29666 Dost thou know the living fountain Whence the stream of grace doth flow? 29666 Flowers that bloom at break of dawn Only to die when day is gone, How can they with the child compare That shall the Father''s glory share? 29666 How many of his former interests were reconcilable with his new views? 29666 If I be misleading those who follow me, why are you, the true watchmen of Zion, not exerting yourself to lead them aright? 29666 If it could not, was not a folk awakening a necessary preparation for a Christian? 29666 The word of God has been sown, but where are its fruits? 29666 Thus a Pastor P. Hjort wrote to Bishop Mynster,Have you read Grundtvig''s_ Songs of the Danish Church_? |
29666 | Was it possible that these people could be descendants of the giants whose valor and aggressive spirit had once challenged the greater part of Europe? |
29666 | What could he do? |
29666 | What vessel is that passing Across the boundless deep, On which the billows massing In foaming fury sweep? |
29666 | Why came He not in splendor Arrayed in robes of light And called the world to render Its homage to His might? |
29666 | Why should not castles royal Before Him open stand, And kings, as servants loyal, Obey His least command? |
29666 | Ye sinners as vile in behavior As thorns in the crown of the Savior, Why are ye so prideful in spirit, Content with your self- righteous merit? |
29666 | and Is Christianity True? |
29666 | how can it be That but so few will think of Thee And of that tender, wondrous love Which drew Thee to us from above? |
29666 | the professor exclaims,"should eternal Wisdom have willed revelation to appear in a form so imperfect? |
29480 | A happy friendship changed, Now that the years are old? |
29480 | And all my sin in mercy bear Upon the awful tree? |
29480 | And in aggressive Christian work at home and abroad? |
29480 | And what are the signs of death in the Eastern Church? |
29480 | As spring that wakes the sleeping earth? |
29480 | As zephyrs on the tuneless night, To stir my soul to holy mirth? |
29480 | But, it is asked, what evidences are there that the Greek Church is a living Church? |
29480 | Can he hold the Lord of life? |
29480 | Didst Thou not die for me? |
29480 | Hast thou no needs, for which alone The cross can find supplies? |
29480 | I Lord of mercy, at Thy gate, Needy souls imploring pray; Have we come, Good Lord, too late? |
29480 | II Ah, why from heavenly blessing Didst Thou to earth descend, And share the woes distressing, To be the sinner''s Friend? |
29480 | II Heralds from the heaven- land, Tell His Advent clear;-- Where the sound of hurrying feet? |
29480 | II Were there no eyes to gaze upon the sight? |
29480 | II With thought of sin opprest, Does conscience smite thee sore? |
29480 | III And when the dark and cloudy days Of death and sorrow came, What were their thoughts of Him who hung Upon the cross of shame? |
29480 | III Didst Thou not come to earth? |
29480 | III Is there no balm to heal? |
29480 | III My soul, can''st thou not tell? |
29480 | III Think you of former bliss, Of happier, sunnier hours, When fragrant joys you miss, Bestrewed your path like flowers? |
29480 | III Where now its sting, since death itself is dead? |
29480 | III Wilt Thou not come as morning light? |
29480 | IV Glistening in the morning grey, Whence those garments fairer far Than the light that hails the day In the glorious morning star? |
29480 | IV Mourn you a heart estranged, Once kind, but now grown cold? |
29480 | IV"How can I hold that sacred Head of Thine, O Word of God, Immortal, and Divine?" |
29480 | Must we turn in grief away? |
29480 | No hearts to sing, when sundered was the prison? |
29480 | O Jesus, Lord divine, Why was such anguish Thine? |
29480 | O Jesus, Lord divine, Why was such anguish Thine? |
29480 | The horror felt by earth and sky? |
29480 | The victory of the powers of night, That doomed the God- man there to die? |
29480 | V Is there an empty room Where silence broods alone, All curtained round with gloom, Where once the sunlight shone? |
29480 | VI Where can death bestow his prey? |
29480 | What is she doing in the field of literature, theological in particular? |
29480 | Whence that woe? |
29480 | Where now the power that held the captive bound? |
29480 | Where the crowds come forth to greet? |
29480 | Where the loyal cheer? |
29480 | Why such a sacrifice? |
29480 | whence that suffering? |
29480 | whither shall I flee, my God? |
15485 | Did I not say unto you, Go not? |
15485 | How long,said she,"will it probably continue?" |
15485 | If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? 15485 Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" |
15485 | Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you? |
15485 | ''Let me not wait longer for my promised translation; let me die as my fathers did; for wherein am I better than they?'' |
15485 | ***** Is there any assignable cause for the silence of the dead? |
15485 | A YEAR UNCALENDARED; for what Hast thou to do with mortal time? |
15485 | And what is it pleasant to believe are their thoughts of us, of earth, of eternity, of the gospel, of this life as a season of preparation for heaven? |
15485 | And what will she have treasured up to tell me? |
15485 | Angels, returned from other happy worlds, have you heard of him? |
15485 | Another of the flock replies,"Have we not an able, faithful, experienced shepherd? |
15485 | But how could mortal strength endure the effort? |
15485 | But who is God? |
15485 | But, Where is he? |
15485 | Can it be Michael, guardian of the dead Moses and his grave, on"the great stone"which has been rolled"from the door of the sepulchre"? |
15485 | Can it be true, as Bishop Hall says, that"to be happy is not so sweet a state as it is miserable to have been happy"? |
15485 | Did the chariots of fire, and the horses of fire, convey him to a dreamless sleep of thousands of years? |
15485 | Did you see him on yonder hills? |
15485 | Does he build his faith upon it, as upon a corner stone? |
15485 | Dost thou not place it to thy lips, but quickly lay it aside, and patiently and joyfully watch the swelling number of the graves of saints? |
15485 | God is our chief good, not our friends, nor our children; he shuts them up in silence from us, to see if we can say,"Whom have I in heaven but thee? |
15485 | Have tears never come unbidden, do we never feel sad, at such a time? |
15485 | Have we not seen his ability to defend us in past dangers? |
15485 | He might also remonstrate and say,"Am I not, as their shepherd, interested in protecting and removing them? |
15485 | He who has had a child saved by Christ, and will not be himself a Christian,--what more can God do to save him? |
15485 | I said,"Would you exchange conditions with her?" |
15485 | If"I will be with thee,"is the reason, which he himself assigns why we should not be afraid, why should we fear to come into his presence? |
15485 | In what respects better or different? |
15485 | Is he not as much concerned for our defence and safety as ourselves? |
15485 | Is he the Christian''s enemy? |
15485 | Is he thinking how he will one day hear the command,"Take ye away the stone"which covers all who sleep in Jesus? |
15485 | Is not that"trumpet"sometimes taken into thy hand? |
15485 | Is not the whole of life, past, present, and to come, then tinged with sombre hues? |
15485 | Is that a death- bed where the Christian lies? |
15485 | Is there any thing in the resurrection more strange than this? |
15485 | Is this the God who loved him? |
15485 | Is this the Saviour that died for him? |
15485 | It is said of angels,"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" |
15485 | Made perfect at thy passing, who Can sum thy added glory now? |
15485 | Now what bids my heart rejoice, Clasped in arms I can not see? |
15485 | Shall I lose the remnant of my life on earth?" |
15485 | Shall we ask exemption from that which, all the good and great have suffered? |
15485 | She said, without any change of countenance,"Why, father, you surprise me; I thought that I might get well; is it possible that I can not live long? |
15485 | The great question then will be, How did we fulfil God''s special and benevolent designs in our trials? |
15485 | The question which earth asks respecting one and another,"Where is he?" |
15485 | Then what will she herself be, when these eyes behold her again? |
15485 | They themselves had said to him,"Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to- day?" |
15485 | We must know this, and practise upon it, ourselves; else, how can we expect the children to believe it? |
15485 | We shall have a part in the glory of Christ, and be associated with him; for,"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?" |
15485 | What are we glad to say of their preparation for an eternal state? |
15485 | What if we knew that some day, not far distant, flaming chariots and horses, over our dwelling, would wait to bring us home to God? |
15485 | What language would they use more graphic, or more intelligible to us, than the language of the Bible? |
15485 | What must the body of Isaiah, and of David, be, at the resurrection, to correspond with the vast powers and attainments of those glorified spirits? |
15485 | What though my body run to dust? |
15485 | What would make us satisfied and happy to know respecting them? |
15485 | What would we have had that preparation be? |
15485 | What, then, are we searching for among the dark, gloomy valleys of sorrow, or on the hills of earthly vision? |
15485 | When can we need their ministry more, than in the passage from this world to the world of spirits? |
15485 | When they came again to Elisha,"he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?" |
15485 | Where do we love to assign them their places? |
15485 | Where is he? |
15485 | Whither now wilt thou proceed? |
15485 | Whither was he translated? |
15485 | Will he sit like a king on his throne, and see his subject come trembling into his presence? |
15485 | Will ye search but three days? |
15485 | and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?" |
15485 | and must not he return and abide, like them? |
15485 | hast thou the archangel himself for thy keeper? |
15485 | how canst thou? |
15485 | is no doubt repeated in heaven: Have you met him in any of these streets? |
26744 | And how do you propose to go there? |
26744 | And may I ask whence you come and whither you are going? |
26744 | And your honourable second name? |
26744 | Are you going in that direction? |
26744 | Are you going to Hai- ning? |
26744 | Are you going to Kia- hing Fu? |
26744 | Do n''t you see the wind is coming? 26744 How much may that be?" |
26744 | How much money will you give us? |
26744 | What is it? |
26744 | What may be your honourable profession? |
26744 | Why,I asked in surprise,"has Amelia broken her promise? |
26744 | Will you give me a passage as far as you do go that way? |
26744 | You are a physician, are you? |
26744 | And are we not told to seek first the kingdom of GOD, not means to advance it, and that all these things shall be added to us? |
26744 | At last a man responded,"Are you a guest from Shih- mun- wan?" |
26744 | But had not GOD said that whatever we ask in the Name of the LORD JESUS shall be done? |
26744 | But scarcely had I opened my lips with"Our FATHER who art in heaven"than conscience said within,"Dare you mock GOD? |
26744 | Could that which was wrong for one Christian to do be right for an association of Christians? |
26744 | Dare you kneel down and call Him FATHER with that half- crown in your pocket?" |
26744 | He answered,"What would be the good of that?" |
26744 | How do you write it?" |
26744 | How long shall this continue, and the MASTER''S words,"To every creature,"remain unheeded? |
26744 | I said to him in the quietest tone, but so as to convince him that I was not, nor had been, sleeping,"What do you want?" |
26744 | Is it so hard- hearted, so wicked a thing to neglect to save the body? |
26744 | Is there any spirit of prayer on our behalf among GOD''s people in Kilsyth? |
26744 | Need I say that peace at once flowed into my burdened heart? |
26744 | Now arose in my mind the question, Ought not this sum also to be tithed? |
26744 | Of how much sorer punishment, then, is he worthy who leaves the soul to perish, and Cain- like says,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
26744 | Oh, why did you not come sooner?" |
26744 | Or could any amount of precedents make a wrong course justifiable? |
26744 | Ought I not, for her sake, to speak about the matter of the salary? |
26744 | Shall we say to_ Him_,"No, it is not convenient"? |
26744 | The next question was,"How am I to go?" |
26744 | The thought passed through my mind,"Why does the author use this expression? |
26744 | The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing"--and if not good, why want it? |
26744 | Then came the thought,"If the whole work was finished and the whole debt paid, what is there left for me to do?" |
26744 | There was no doubt that if faith did not fail, GOD would not fail; but, then, what if one''s faith should prove insufficient? |
26744 | What circumstances could have rendered the Word of GOD more sweet, the presence of GOD more real, the help of GOD more precious? |
26744 | What was I to do? |
26744 | What was finished? |
26744 | While thus engaged I said to the landlord,"I suppose I can arrange to spend the night here?" |
26744 | Why live I here? |
26744 | Yet, what was I to do? |
26744 | and He that keepeth_ thy_ soul, doth not he know it? |
26744 | and shall not He render to every man according to his works?" |
26744 | might repeat the same question to- day? |
26744 | or is there any effort to seek this spirit? |
26744 | or will my want of faith and power with GOD prove to be so serious an obstacle as to preclude my entering upon this much- prized service?" |
26744 | shall we tell_ Him_ that we are busy fishing and can not go? |
26744 | that we have bought a piece of ground and can not go? |
26744 | that we have purchased five yoke of oxen, or have married, or are engaged in other and more interesting pursuits, and can not go? |
26744 | why not say the atoning or propitiatory work of CHRIST?" |
15822 | Do I sympathize with him over a ruined world? |
15822 | And can any reason be assigned why the same practice should not be equally productive in carrying out the noblest work of our being? |
15822 | And how is it with the favors of his hand? |
15822 | And is it strange that he who nurtures a principle thus pernicious in its tendencies, should be excluded from heaven? |
15822 | And may not the present be such a crisis? |
15822 | But how shall these frequent contributions be made by those whose capital yields returns only at long intervals? |
15822 | But if regularity in other things is pleasing to God under the New Dispensation, why is it not in this divinest work of an intelligent being? |
15822 | But is this a valid excuse? |
15822 | But ought not his past goodness to strengthen our confidence in his willingness to continue that goodness? |
15822 | But what did you mean by those all- surrendering vows? |
15822 | But what is its peculiar lesson to us? |
15822 | But why regard thoughts of that which we can not avoid, unpleasant? |
15822 | Can you touch it heedlessly? |
15822 | Christ requires us to live by faith on him, and ought we not to_ give_ by faith on him? |
15822 | Could they not be met by sacrificing some social pleasure, some luxury in drink, in food, in dress, in furniture, in display? |
15822 | Dare any one offer this as an excuse? |
15822 | Dare you compare your spirit and conduct with his? |
15822 | Did Christ once weep over covenant- breaking Jerusalem? |
15822 | Did Christ shrink from contemplating the loathsomeness and woe of our outcast race? |
15822 | Did you think to deceive the heart- searching Jesus? |
15822 | Do you hence smother these kindling emotions and fold your hands in despair? |
15822 | Do you not owe to him alike your being and possessions? |
15822 | Do you say,"My money is my own; I may use it as I please?" |
15822 | Does any one shrink from this criterion of his piety? |
15822 | Five pounds? |
15822 | Have not the crucibles of your selfish hearts melted and moulded them into household gods? |
15822 | Here men are not afraid to trust the past goodness of the Lord; why will they not be equally wise and confiding in the godlike work of benevolence? |

15822 | I ask every candid reader, is not the present a_ special occasion_ for benevolence? |
15822 | Is not this robbing God? |
15822 | It is unreasonable that you spend your worldly goods for him, who shed his blood for you? |
15822 | Jeremiah says,"Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? |
15822 | Let it be the early, the earnest, the daily inquiry,"What can I do for my race?" |
15822 | Let the question come home to your conscience;_ what do you mean_? |
15822 | Must not such conduct be exceedingly provoking to Unwearied Love? |
15822 | Now have you acted up to this surrender of your all to Christ, especially in relation to the duty of beneficence? |
15822 | Now shall we abuse this confidence, despise our privileges, and show ourselves unworthy of our almost angelic exaltation? |
15822 | Now what does the providence of God indicate as the special ministry of the church in the present age? |
15822 | Now, would it be equal to require of both respectively a hundred in charity? |
15822 | Oh think, are these the kind returns you owe for pardoning love? |
15822 | One pound? |
15822 | Reader, with this humble reliance on Divine aid, will you now make the following resolutions your own? |
15822 | Reader, would you please your compassionate Savior? |
15822 | True, this will require self- denial; but has not God demanded of us self- denial? |
15822 | Was it the duty of the wealthy Irish to feed their starving neighbors? |
15822 | Was this an unmeaning ceremony? |
15822 | Were you thus unfeeling? |
15822 | What do you mean, often as you renew them at the sacramental board? |
15822 | What is the proportional amount of property or income to be given in charitable contributions? |
15822 | What treatment is this of the compassionate Giver of your abundance? |
15822 | When these shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father, where, O, where will you be found? |
15822 | Who dare say, I can not, or will not, exercise it? |
15822 | Who did not feel that every Irish landholder should have shared his abundance with the suffering and dying poor around him? |
15822 | Who will dare thus offend his gracious Sovereign, and incur his wrath? |
15822 | Who will refuse thus systematically to reflect, to feel, to resolve, to give? |
15822 | Why is it? |
15822 | Why should not lovers of Christ be equally wise to fill the world with light, and heaven with anthems? |
15822 | Will the rich, they who have enough and abound, reject this rational scheme of principles, feelings, actions? |
15822 | Will you trifle with Jehovah''s voice, and incur his righteous wrath? |
15822 | Will you, professed follower of the self- denying Jesus? |
15822 | With the last tribunal and the sorrows of Calvary in view, will you give these a moment''s prayerful reflection? |
15822 | You enjoy glorious privileges; will you slight them? |
15822 | _ But what does the Gospel teach us on the subject_? |
15822 | _ How frequently should stated contributions be made_? |
15822 | _ In the second place, what is the Nature of a Scriptural System of Beneficence_? |
15822 | and what are his claims upon you, as growing out of it? |
15822 | or by foregoing some convenience, the expense of which is equivalent to the pledged sum? |
15822 | so live that your selfish heirs shall rejoice at your death, and the judgment- day clothe you with eternal shame? |
36332 | But where shall we find words to express the depth of our affliction? |
36332 | Where shall we find language to depict the character of the dear departed-- or to administer comfort and support to the beloved survivors? |
13196 | I do n''t know, who? |
13196 | Light obeyed, increased light: Light resisted, bringeth night Who shall give us power to choose If the love of light we lose? 13196 Well,"some one will object,"now you''re cutting us all out, are you not? |
13196 | [ 12] Why? 13196 [ 20] Tell me, is this the way the Spirit of God leads? |
13196 | < u> A Very Old Question. This leads to a very old question: Does prayer influence God? |
13196 | Again came the same quietly spoken words to her ear,"will you abide the consequences?" |
13196 | Am I thinking about what He is thinking about for me? |
13196 | And I said,"Why not?" |
13196 | And even Daniel''s eyes open big--"the_ first_ day-- three weeks ago?" |
13196 | And if some one listening may ask: Why put the condition of prayer so strongly as that? |
13196 | And the Father would quickly bend over and graciously say,"What''ll you have? |
13196 | And who_ can_ teach like Him? |
13196 | Are we not all conscious of a sinful something inside here that has to be fought, and held under all the while?" |
13196 | As she was praying and distressed a voice, an exquisitely quiet inner voice said,"will you abide the consequences?" |
13196 | But His chosen way? |
13196 | But have you noticed how, over and over again He_ couples_ these two-- prayer_ and_ forgiveness? |
13196 | But one Sunday noon the sister came in from service and asked,"Who do you think preached to- day?" |
13196 | By name? |
13196 | Can a man_ make_ himself believe?" |
13196 | Can one_ know_ anything certainly about that man''s condition? |
13196 | Can we all have faith like that? |
13196 | Can you imagine a mountain moving off into the sea-- the Jungfrau, or Blanc, or Rainier? |
13196 | Could I telegraph on that wire? |
13196 | Did some feeling of impatience break out among the disciples that they could not be allowed a little leisure? |
13196 | Do you think_ you_ would have slept much? |
13196 | Does Prayer Influence God? |
13196 | Does Prayer Influence God? |
13196 | Does Prayer Influence God? |
13196 | Does a mother think into her child''s needs, the food, and clothing and the extras too, the luxuries? |
13196 | Does a wise mother think of her child''s needs into the details, the necessities and the loving extras? |
13196 | Does n''t it say something of that sort in the Book?" |
13196 | Does the fluid-- it a fluid? |
13196 | For_ Jesus''_ sake? |
13196 | Had he been wrong all those years? |
13196 | Have you ever thought that Jesus had a keen sense of the ludicrous? |
13196 | He says,"Master, how many times_ must_ I forgive a man? |
13196 | His own way? |
13196 | How does it come to pass that a man turns a few handles, and miles away great wheels begin to revolve, and enormous power is manifested? |
13196 | How shall we best fight? |
13196 | I turned to the minister and said,''What does this mean?'' |
13196 | Is it any wonder that"she was in bitterness of soul"and"wept sore"? |
13196 | Is not that a loving God so to listen and yield to my plea? |
13196 | It does not mean to ask,"Is this right? |
13196 | Let me ask you very softly now: Can He trust you? |
13196 | Let me ask you, honestly now; do you think you would have slept much that night? |
13196 | Long- suffering over these praying ones? |
13196 | Long- suffering? |
13196 | May We Pray with Assurance for the Conversion of Our Loved Ones? |
13196 | Mr. Moody said,"I turned and said to the minister,''What_ does_ this mean?'' |
13196 | Now what was the explanation of that marvellous Sunday and days following? |
13196 | Patience? |
13196 | Shall I say, Father_ save_ Me from this hour? |
13196 | Shall not we, who have been tracing these steps in His prayer life, go back over them again and again until we breathe in His very spirit of prayer? |
13196 | Shall we bow and ask forgiveness for our sin, and petty stubbornness that has been thwarting the Master''s love- plan? |
13196 | Shall we follow for a day one who has gotten the true perspective? |
13196 | Shall we not put out the thing that is wrong? |
13196 | Shall we spell that word discipline with a final g instead of e-- discipling, so the love of it may be plainer to our near- sightedness? |
13196 | Sundays, after church service, the sick woman would ask,"Any special interest in church to- day?" |
13196 | Talks about the certainty of prayer being answered are very apt to bring this question:"What about Paul''s thorn?" |
13196 | Tell me, is not that a very much more loving God than the other conception suggests? |
13196 | The great question for me then in praying for some personal thing is this: Do_ I_ know what_ He_ knows I need? |
13196 | Then on a side remaining, the tender personal side, He is-- loving? |
13196 | Then the minister said to Mr. Moody,"What''ll I do with these people? |
13196 | Then this forgiven man went out and found a fellow servant who owed him-- how much do you think? |
13196 | To please Him? |
13196 | Was it due to his overtired nerves? |
13196 | Was some of the transfiguring glory still lingering in that great face? |
13196 | Wednesday nights, after prayer- meetings,"Any special interest in the service to- night? |
13196 | Well, if_ you_ do not pray for them who will? |
13196 | What is the keyword of the book, occurring oftener than any other? |
13196 | What is yours? |
13196 | What''s the difficulty? |
13196 | What_ can_ be so vigilant and keen as love? |
13196 | What_ was_ the consequence to her? |
13196 | Where''s the Master? |
13196 | Who is the real foe? |
13196 | Why not? |
13196 | Why was it? |
13196 | Will some one kindly explain? |
13196 | Will some one kindly explain? |
13196 | Will you notice how men give? |
13196 | With eyes big, and voices dejected, the question wrung itself out of their sinking hearts,"Why could not_ we_ cast it out?" |
13196 | Would that not seem quite sufficient? |
13196 | Yet I might sit in my room and tick away by the hour wholly absorbed, and use most beautiful persuasive language-- what is the good? |
13196 | You think not? |
13196 | [ 44] Does not this very strong language suggest that possibly the disciples had been conferred with by the revolutionary leaders? |
13196 | _ Is_ that true? |
13196 | _ Or_, long- suffering in dealing righteously with some stubborn adversary-- which? |
13196 | is this wrong?" |
13196 | or put in the thing the Master wants in? |
13196 | or, what?--pass_ through_ the wire? |
13196 | or,_ around_ the wire? |
13196 | there''s just the rub; it is evidently an old story, this thing of not receiving-- why? |
2056 | 5th February 1810.--Were you hunting the buffalo, or did it charge you without provocation? 2056 But what may we not expect if God continues to bless us in years to come?" |
2056 | Did you expect to see this eighteen years ago? |
2056 | Is William mad? |
2056 | Now, dear William, what do we live for but to promote the cause of our dear Redeemer in the world? 2056 12- 15):For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek... How shall they preach except they be sent?" |
2056 | After all, why do we differ? |
2056 | And what are the circumstances of these youth? |
2056 | And what if he must cease altogether to work with his hands, and give himself wholly to the work of the mission as seemed necessary? |
2056 | As to Brother Marshman, seriously, what do they want? |
2056 | Before Carey, what had been done to turn the millions of North India from such darkness as that? |
2056 | Ca n''t you bring the grasshopper which has a saddle on its back, or the bird which has a large crest which he opens when he settles on the ground? |
2056 | Can any good come out of Kettering? |
2056 | Can you not get me a male and female khokora-- I mean the great bird like a kite, which makes so great a noise, and often carries off a duck or a kid? |
2056 | Carey?" |
2056 | Could the Church of England supply missionaries?--where are they to be found among them? |
2056 | Did ever any university in Europe, or any literary institution in any other age or country, exhibit a scene so interesting as this? |
2056 | Do we wonder that these men have left their mark on India? |
2056 | Do you in America train up youths for it without any knowledge of science?" |
2056 | Had he not, all his career, therefore expected and attempted great things? |
2056 | Had not Carey''s been a royal career, even that of a king and a priest unto God? |
2056 | He took up one of the shoes and said,"Let me see, Carey, how much do you earn a week?" |
2056 | His Enquiry had been published; had it prepared the brethren? |
2056 | How was this shed his college? |
2056 | I answered, what are His commands? |
2056 | I asked them if this was the woman''s choice, or if she were brought to it by any improper influence? |
2056 | I replied, would you, if your son had offended you, be so pleased with him as to forgive him if he were to repeat the word''father''a thousand times? |
2056 | I well recollect my father saying to him,''I suppose you still work at your trade?'' |
2056 | In what school for the promulgation of sound and orthodox learning are they trained up? |
2056 | Marshman wishes to know whether you now see him?'' |
2056 | My mother replied,''What, do you think he will be a preacher?'' |
2056 | Now what can be more available thereto than to deliver God''s book unto God''s people in a tongue which they understand?''" |
2056 | Observing Komal weep( who had been a most affectionate wife), he said, Why do you weep for me? |
2056 | On their saying, How is it that you who have turned to Christ should be thus afflicted? |
2056 | One Brahman was quite confounded, and a number of people were all at once crying out to him,''Why do you not answer him? |
2056 | Or would they have his blood? |
2056 | Pray can youth be trained up for the Christian ministry without science? |
2056 | Should not this be a specific matter of prayer, and is there not reason to labour hard to infuse this spirit into the churches? |
2056 | Such compassion, where shall we get? |
2056 | Such was the moral heroism, such the spiritual aim of the Serampore brotherhood; how did it set to work? |
2056 | The chain of the caste is broken; who shall mend it?" |
2056 | The new men raised the first question, in what sense the Serampore property belonged to the Society? |
2056 | The principal Question was--''In what manner shall we receive him? |
2056 | Thus the door of faith is open to the gentiles; who shall shut it? |
2056 | Was the answer to come just there after nine years''waiting? |
2056 | We then went to the water- side, where I addressed the people in Bengali; after having sung a Bengali translation of''Jesus, and shall it ever be?'' |
2056 | What can be apprehended but the disgrace and discomfiture of whole hosts of tub preachers in the conflict?" |
2056 | When I was called to go and talk with her, on the way I thought within myself, but how can I explain the way of Kreest? |
2056 | When in London Carey had asked John Newton,"What if the Company should send us home on our arrival in Bengal?" |
2056 | When shall Bengal see its own Luther? |
2056 | Who were his predecessors, reckoning from the Renascence of Europe, the discovery of America, and the opening up of India and Africa? |
2056 | Who will venture to explore it? |
2056 | Why do you not answer him?'' |
2056 | Would not that make them useful members of society? |
2056 | Would not the spread of the gospel be the most effectual mean of their civilisation? |
2056 | Would they allow future missionaries to settle with him? |
2056 | Would they always renew his own licence? |
2056 | Would they attempt to deny his possessing the grace of God? |
2056 | Would they exclude him from the mission? |
2056 | by a letter from the people of Hackleton, or on a profession of faith, etc.?'' |
2056 | what is His will? |
32703 | But how should we begin? |
32703 | But how? |
32703 | Halts the Christ- Kingdom, with conquest so near? |
32703 | Here was the church, and here were the people; but how could they be brought together to their mutual advantage? |
32703 | How can we move out into this Larger Parish and get hold of this greater work? |
32703 | How did I go about my task? |
32703 | How have they worked, and what have they accomplished? |
32703 | How was I to multiply my activities many fold and still be efficient? |
32703 | How would it be when its boundaries were so greatly increased? |
32703 | How would they be received? |
32703 | I wonder if any pastor ever felt entirely satisfied with the results of his work? |
32703 | If they do not do all that ought to be done in their smaller parish, shall they increase its boundaries and assume greater obligations? |
32703 | Is he rendering valuable service? |
32703 | It may look well-- the vision may be enticing-- but will it really do the business? |
32703 | Shall they reach out and extend their parish threefold, and multiply their duties and obligations many times? |
32703 | What do we find to be the result of the three years? |
32703 | What have we to show after working three years that will justify the methods that have been used? |
32703 | What methods have been employed? |
32703 | What was the work? |
32703 | Would it not be overwhelmed by the number and greatness of its obligations and responsibilities? |
32703 | Would it not be swamped by its acquisitions? |
32703 | Would not the Larger Parish idea as set forth in this story furnish a good working plan for such a movement? |
32703 | Would the ushers show them comfortable seats? |
32703 | Would they be welcome in the pews of the good people who have come together to worship God? |

13889 | But he said,"What''s the use?" |
13889 | But what''s the use of trying? |
13889 | But when drink is the idol-- and it was mine-- what does one care for love? |
13889 | But where was I to go? |
13889 | CHAPTER I BOYHOOD DAYS I have often been asked the question,"Why do n''t you write a book?" |
13889 | Ca n''t you see plainly the conditions? |
13889 | Come, Dan, I''ll be your friend; did n''t we always have a good time together on the Bowery? |
13889 | Could I help him? |
13889 | DEEPER IN THE MIRE Now what was I to tell my mother? |
13889 | Dan, ca n''t we have our pictures taken together? |
13889 | Did I sleep? |
13889 | Do n''t you know you were cut out for a far better one?" |
13889 | Do n''t you men see I''m still trusting? |
13889 | Do n''t you think it pays to be on the level with God? |
13889 | Every night Jim would come around with the question,"Danny, any word from up State yet?" |
13889 | Finally I got tired and said,"Cook, where will I put this coal?" |
13889 | Finally he looked me over from head to feet and said,"Are those the best clothes you have?" |
13889 | Have you written to her?" |
13889 | He said,"Dave, why are you leading such a life? |
13889 | He said,"Hello, Dave, where are you working?" |
13889 | He used to say to me,"David, why do n''t you be good and study your lessons? |
13889 | He will do the same for any one here; why not give Him a chance?" |
13889 | He would ask me,"Do you think I can get back to my wife and children again?" |
13889 | How are you?" |
13889 | How did I find him out? |
13889 | How did it happen? |
13889 | I asked him,"Do you want to go back to New York, Tom?" |
13889 | I asked,"Can you play?" |
13889 | I brought him over and got him to sit down in that old chair where so many confessions are made to me and said kindly,"Well, what''s your story?" |
13889 | I know I''m crooked, and it''s my own fault, I admit, but who''s going to give me a chance? |
13889 | I know what you are going to say: why do n''t I cut it out? |
13889 | I often look back and ask myself the question,"Did I miss my vocation?" |
13889 | I said as I looked,"Is this me or some other fellow?" |
13889 | I stood there listening to the tempter, when the young fellow said,"Dave, what are you going to do now that you have taken Jesus?" |
13889 | I thought it would wake up the whole house, but nobody but mother woke, and she said,"Who''s there?" |
13889 | I thought of mother; what would she say if she knew I had broken my promise to her? |
13889 | I tried in my leisure time for another job, but in all the places I was asked the same question:"Where did you work last?" |
13889 | I used to dread going home at night and meeting my mother, and when she would say,"How have you got on to- day?" |
13889 | I want some one with backbone; will you take it?" |
13889 | I was in a church; why should he do me any harm? |
13889 | I was in bed dreaming of Indians and other things, when mother wakened me, shouting,"Where''s the man''s clothes?" |
13889 | I was shaking hands all around after the meeting was over when this man came and said,"Mr. Ranney, can I have a little talk with you?" |
13889 | I''ll never forget the first question he asked me, which was,"What''s the name of that piece of timber?" |
13889 | Is n''t it wonderful what God can do? |
13889 | Is that enough?" |
13889 | It''s a hard place, but will you come and take charge of it? |
13889 | It''s an everlasting joy, and is n''t it worth working for, boys? |
13889 | LODGING- HOUSE MISSIONARY One day I said,"Dr. Schauffler, do you know I''m a protege of the New York City Mission?" |
13889 | Many times well- dressed men will come into my place and say,"Mr. Ranney, do n''t you know me?" |
13889 | No one saw me but God, but the Devil was there with me, and said,"Is n''t it easy? |
13889 | Now, Dave, wo n''t you promise me you will?" |
13889 | Now, why did n''t you tell me the truth, and I would have overlooked it? |
13889 | Pop, trust in the God that saved you ten years ago, wo n''t you? |
13889 | Ranney?" |
13889 | Ranney?" |
13889 | Ranney?" |
13889 | Said he,"How''s little old New York?" |
13889 | She knew me by sight and asked me how I was getting on, and where was my overcoat? |
13889 | Sizing up the situation, I knew I must have a drink, but how was I to get it? |
13889 | That worried him a good deal, for he said,"Dan, are you mad with me?" |
13889 | The girl was in trouble and needed help, and what were we going to do about it? |
13889 | The lady said,"Mr. Ranney, what is the matter with that girl? |
13889 | The man put his hand on my shoulder and said,"I want to be your friend; will you let me?" |
13889 | The saloon- keeper would n''t do it; what did he care for them? |
13889 | The young fellow said,"Do n''t you think you had better have a bath?" |
13889 | The young fellow said,"Why do n''t you call for something? |
13889 | Then he said,"Father, you do n''t want me to drink, do you?" |
13889 | Then why not stop it while one has a free foot? |
13889 | There was one game I really did enjoy; the name of it was"How many miles?" |
13889 | We all got up from our knees, and I put the usual question to them all, now that they had taken Jesus, what were they going to do? |
13889 | We heard the testimonies, and I turned to Ranney and said,''Are you a Christian?'' |
13889 | We went into the office, and he said,"How did you find me out?" |
13889 | What can you and I do for them? |
13889 | What could he do? |
13889 | What did He do it for? |
13889 | What did you do it for? |
13889 | What does any one care? |
13889 | What good will it do?" |
13889 | What number shall I play?" |
13889 | What was I going to do? |
13889 | When I passed her way she said,"Mr. Ranney, will you please give me a drink of water?" |
13889 | When I went home the first question was,"Did you see your check?" |
13889 | Where''s the tools?" |
13889 | While I was talking he would make all sorts of remarks, such as,"Oh, what do you know about it? |
13889 | Who are you?" |
13889 | Why did n''t God help you before this? |
13889 | Why do n''t you give Him a chance? |
13889 | Why? |
13889 | Will you come up with me?" |
13889 | Will you let me give it to you?" |
13889 | Will you work?" |
13889 | Would God help such a one? |
13889 | Would I work? |
13889 | what happened to you?" |
33676 | But what return can I make Thee, being of myself insolvent, indigent, and miserable? |
33676 | For whom, then, shall I henceforth live, if not for Thee, my Lord? |
33676 | Have I not compelled Thee often to dwell in my heart, full of sin and impurity as it was? |
33676 | How do I act in suffering and affliction? |
33676 | How must I regard the world and its vanities, when I behold Thee hanging on the cross, covered with wounds? |
33676 | How, then, shall I extol Thee, immortal King of glory? |
33676 | I have frequently resolved to amend, and yet where do I remain but in the midst of sin and vice? |
33676 | Should I, then, not bear in union with Thee my easy burden of suffering and accept the sweet yoke of Thy commandments? |
33676 | Thou hast created me for heaven; what, then, have I to do with the world? |
33676 | What homage can I give in proportion to Thy greatness? |
33676 | What pledge can I give as an earnest of the gratitude I owe to Thee? |
33676 | What return do you make to your Saviour for His great and manifold benefits? |
33676 | What return shall I make for all the benefits Thou didst bestow on me? |
33676 | Who am I, O God, that Thou shouldst work such wonders for my sake? |
33676 | Who will grant me that I may die for love of Thee? |
33676 | Witnessing this, how can I continue to sin? |
33676 | _ Prayer_ O JESUS, Thou hast set me apart from the world; what, then, shall I seek therein? |
33676 | _ Prayer_ O JESUS, who shall give to my eyes a torrent of tears, that day and night I may weep for my sins? |
36351 | ***** Had our deceased friend the weakness-- the comparatively pardonable weakness of vanity? |
36351 | ***** What might be expected of such a one as parishioner? |
36351 | ***** What might be expected of such a one as pastor''s wife? |
36351 | Had the characteristic infirmity of old age come upon her,--a fondness for recounting earlier or more recent labors and successes? |
36351 | Have you ever known one who walked more nearly in the steps of our Lord and Saviour, one who did less to please self? |
36351 | What now might be expected of one, with such a character and such antecedents, on becoming our city missionary? |
36351 | While interested in providing employment for each scholar during the session, her chief thought seemed to be,"How can I benefit these immortal souls?" |
36351 | Who ever suspected her of vainglory? |
36351 | Who will say that she was not accustomed to give all glory and praise to God? |
36899 | A few minutes later the friend of the mistress said:"I wonder if my daughter''s dresses would fit your servant? |
36899 | But for some reason, which is not now recalled, there was given out for an evening''s meditation the topic,"Shall we pray for money?" |
36899 | Think what Spirit dwells within thee; What a Father''s smile is thine; What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? |
17002 | Are such things right? |
17002 | Are these ecclesiastical bodies respectively Indian, Chinese, and African in their character? |
17002 | Are these the doctrines or policy of the Dutch Church? |
17002 | Are they, then, two- thirds of an integral part in America, and one- third of an integral part in England? |
17002 | Besides this, how shall we know which of them were converted through our instrumentality? |
17002 | But are these things so? |
17002 | But has it been more successful than the Mission at Amoy? |
17002 | But how and where has this test been applied, and found so satisfactory? |
17002 | But how, on this plan, can he possibly obtain them? |
17002 | But the point is, how can our disapproval of_ the mongrel Classis_ mar the peace of the Amoy brethren?" |
17002 | But will the plan of Synod give us any greater security for these things? |
17002 | But will they do it? |
17002 | Can it be that a policy which requires_ such constitutional changes_ can be the old and proper policy of our Church? |
17002 | Can the Board try them? |
17002 | Can they be designed to prejudice the Church at home against the ecclesiastical body which has grown up at Amoy? |
17002 | Can this be secured? |
17002 | Can you account for such things except by the energy of the Spirit of God? |
17002 | Can you not do the same now? |
17002 | Cannot-- ought not-- the Church change her policy if wrong, or if a better can be adopted? |
17002 | Do not different Denominations exhibit jealous rivalry in this land? |
17002 | Do you wish a similar result in China? |
17002 | Does that mean that we had no qualms of conscience about''submitting to the decision that had been reached?'' |
17002 | General Synod? |
17002 | Has it been tested in China? |
17002 | Has it been tested in Japan? |
17002 | Hence the question has been put to us with all sincerity and gravity,"Is it a_ Classis_, or is it a_ Presbytery_?" |
17002 | How can they be secured? |
17002 | How should we designate such an act? |
17002 | I ask, is it possible for him thus to obtain justice? |
17002 | I have been asked, Why not bring this subject before the Church through the columns of the_ Christian Intelligencer_? |
17002 | In expecting to obtain this union, will it be said, that we are looking for a chimera? |
17002 | Is Chinese human nature different from American? |
17002 | Is every thing then to be regarded as_ unsettled_ and_ changeable_ but this policy of the Church? |
17002 | Is it because they were baptized by our Missionaries? |
17002 | Is it because they were converted through the instrumentality of the preaching of our Missionaries? |
17002 | Is it necessary to defend such acts? |
17002 | Is it not plain that the Church at home will not thus have a moiety of the control over her Missionaries she now has? |
17002 | Is it right to impose a yoke like this on that little Church which God is gathering by your instrumentality in that far- off land of China? |
17002 | Is it well that we should be disputing among ourselves concerning who shall have that credit which all belongs to Christ? |
17002 | Is the Classis, in evangelizing the heathen around, to operate through the Board, or the Board through the Classis? |
17002 | Is the Dutch Church a hierarchy? |
17002 | Is the Mission, then, to attend to all the evangelistic work, and the Classis to do nothing? |
17002 | Is the waste of time, of a year or more, nothing? |
17002 | Is this right? |
17002 | Is this the way to keep the Church at Amoy sound and pure? |
17002 | Is this, indeed, as the Committee assert, one of the"admitted principles"of our Church? |
17002 | It ought to be so, ought it not? |
17002 | May the Board of Missions, on mere report or suspicion, recall them without giving them a proper trial? |
17002 | May we not refer, without being charged with disrespect, to the Synod of Jerusalem as a proper example for our General Synod? |
17002 | May we not,_ must_ we not, correct them? |
17002 | No? |
17002 | On the plan proposed, what can the Church do with them? |
17002 | Or are there to be two distinct evangelistic policies carried on at Amoy, the one by the Mission, and the other by the Classis? |
17002 | Or is the Classis first to come over to the Synod, and so get to the Board in order to carry on the work around? |
17002 | Peter says,"Why tempt ye God to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither we nor our fathers were able to bear?" |
17002 | Possibly( not probably) the question will be asked, why were these churches allowed originally to become one? |
17002 | The church grew, and in due time a Consistory was called for; must the work stop, because the Constitution had made no provision? |
17002 | The important question now is, what will be the result of this decision on the Church at Amoy? |
17002 | Then why form the connection? |
17002 | They might by the act of our Church, and_ a correlative act on their own part_, become an integral part of the Church in America? |
17002 | They would have been strictly correct if they had run as follows:"These Churches are_ all_( why say,''_ three at least_''?) |
17002 | We might have acted on such principles, but shall we be_ censured_ for not doing it? |
17002 | We must obey Synod, but may not the Church change or improve her decisions? |
17002 | What made them so? |
17002 | What then? |
17002 | What will be the difficulties when it becomes an_ Indian_ Classis? |
17002 | Who is the Lord of conscience? |
17002 | Why forget or ignore the fact that they are_ Evangelists_ and_ not Pastors_? |
17002 | Why is not the Dutch Church the principal Presbyterian body in this land? |
17002 | Why must we deprive the native Christians of the benefit of the collective wisdom of all the churches of like doctrine and order among them? |
17002 | Why not so? |
17002 | Why not? |
17002 | Why object to an ecclesiastical relationship exactly corresponding to, and required by, their office and position? |
17002 | Why strive to entail like evils on our Missionary churches? |
17002 | Why, then, such questions and suggestions? |
17002 | Will any one assert that the Classis thus formed at Amoy is not a Classis_ de facto_? |
17002 | Will it be said, there is no danger of such difficulty? |
17002 | Will it not seem to them that our Church is deficient in liberality, when they learn the decision of the last Synod? |
17002 | Would such a reflection have been cast on any other body of ministers in our Church? |
17002 | _ They conceived it to be their duty!_ Was it? |
17002 | and where shall the thousands of dollars of necessary expense come from? |
17002 | one of the"convictions in the mind of our Church, hardly separable in idea from its very existence?" |
17002 | one of the"old truths maintained through blood and flame?" |
17002 | or are they all_ essentially American_? |
17002 | or that they were in any sense under the control of those bodies? |
36694 | How has Heaven declar''d that he is resolv''d not to bless this immoderate Generation? |
36694 | If any man ask me why these men shou''d not perfect the Nation Peace as well as other men? |
36694 | The Grand dispute in this Quarrelsome Age, is against our Brethren who Dissent from the Church; and from what principle do we act? |
36694 | Where''s all our prospect of success Abroad, or prosperity at home? |
36694 | _ S----_ was kill''d by the like Accident, and he must be singl''d out for Extortion; But think ye that he was a Sinner above all the_ Gallileans_? |

22422 | Can a maid forget her ornaments? |
22422 | Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? |
22422 | Hard upon dancing? |
22422 | Is Miss Hope going to such and such a performance? |
22422 | Is any merry? 22422 Nothing left?" |
22422 | --Has it ever been done? |
22422 | Alas!--"If the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for battle?" |
22422 | And do you see? |
22422 | And must Christians give no other feasts but such as that? |
22422 | And would such dancing be possible now? |
22422 | And"pastime"? |
22422 | Are they not kings and queens and fairies? |
22422 | Are they not rather trailing in the dust, or quietly pocketed, or left at home? |
22422 | Are they the shoes of peace on which you go in? |
22422 | Are your shoes"peace"? |
22422 | But besides that, what is there left for Christian people? |
22422 | But how is one to tell? |
22422 | But perhaps you"do not care for out- door things?" |
22422 | But what of music that puts the evil spirit into men? |
22422 | Can you dance"in armour"? |
22422 | Can you go as the Lord did? |
22422 | Can you go to the entertainment so, keeping your garments spotless? |
22422 | Can you"shew your colours"in the throng? |
22422 | Chance? |
22422 | Do I not find it right in the way of some of my Bible Class who might else become Christians? |
22422 | Do I not know? |
22422 | Do not the careless young men in the class boast that they can get the Church members to go with them anywhere-- for a dance? |
22422 | Do you think you would never sing at all, unless you sometimes forgot such solemn thoughts? |
22422 | Do_ they_ flourish at your doubtful entertainments? |
22422 | Does it follow then that a Christian must stand aloof from all festivities that are not wholly among Christian people? |
22422 | Does she not"amuse"us all? |
22422 | Does this keep out all_ but_ sacred music? |
22422 | Had he not himself dedicated her to be the Lord''s? |
22422 | Has he not said:"I will be as the dew unto Israel"? |
22422 | How could one dance for joy in a state dress? |
22422 | I asked a friend( a minister of deep experience) lately, if he had seen much of this private card playing among Church members? |
22422 | I was almost angry then, but do you know it has come true? |
22422 | Is it not a fashionable, intellectual, and what not, amusement? |
22422 | Is it the sword of the Spirit with which you meet and parry the thrusts of idleness, folly, mischief? |
22422 | Is that true? |
22422 | Is the girdle of truth,--truth of life, purpose, and heart,--fast bound? |
22422 | Is the narrow way indeed so barren, that we must step out of it to rest? |
22422 | Is there much praise in that? |
22422 | Is your belt the girdle of"truth"? |
22422 | Let me repeat my question, Is it as a Christian you go to the theatre? |
22422 | Music"What do you mean by''the world''?" |
22422 | Not able to give up doubtful games and questionable dances? |
22422 | O it hurts one to have a fellow Christian ask in the quiet evening at her own house,"Would you object to our bringing out the cards?" |
22422 | Of songs, however sweet sounding, that are written in the service of the devil, and sung at the high court of the world? |
22422 | Or how does this compare, with the way we hand over the praise to some who do not even profess to feel it? |
22422 | Shall it be worse with your mind than with your body? |
22422 | TIRED CHURCH MEMBERS MUSIC DANCING THEATRES GAMES WHAT LEFT? |
22422 | Tired Church members, do you go there for_ rest_? |
22422 | Turning round upon the head of the house, she said:"Do you really want me to go?" |
22422 | What Left? |
22422 | What about the theatre, tried by that test? |
22422 | Who is ready with a song for some weary, tuneless life? |
22422 | Why do you add up and consult and consider in the pauses of the sermon, or make opportunity for a business whisper in the porch, and on the way home? |
22422 | Why do you let the perplexities of servants, of means, of plans, ruffle your spirits on the one great day of freedom? |
22422 | Why do you take Sunday papers, to keep your nerves astir with business on the Lord''s own day of rest? |
22422 | Why not?--if his mother went once? |
22422 | Yet why? |
22422 | You have no horse? |
22422 | [ 11] Does it seem very strange to you? |
22422 | [ 12] Can anything be gayer than that? |
22422 | [ 13] Is such glad thankfulness so rare in our days that people have forgotten how it acts? |
22422 | [ 16] How run the directions? |
22422 | [ 17] Can you do that? |
22422 | [ 29] What!--never invite your friends unless they happen to be poor? |
22422 | [ 5] For why? |
22422 | [ 9] Are you not glad of that word"skilfully"? |
22422 | _ Dare_ you? |
22422 | _ Do_ you think so? |
22422 | can you go and keep your armour bright? |
22422 | crowned and shielded and shining with"the hope of salvation,"with"righteousness"and"faith"? |
22422 | do I not know how it tarnishes the Christian profession of others? |
22422 | do they not rather droop and hang their heads, like the dear flowers in your bouquet? |
22422 | does the helmet of salvation rest securely on your head? |
22422 | much refreshment for a tired heart? |
22422 | much worship? |
22422 | not pleasure, but_ peace_? |
22422 | or who"keeps up her music"till the tired years of her own? |
22422 | the breastplate of righteousness burnished, the shield of faith ready against every dart that may fly in that great building? |

14411 | Have you ever seen an apple orchard in blossom? |
14411 | Have you ever thought how snow is made, and whence it comes? |
14411 | Have you good ears? |
14411 | He ran to the minister saying,"Here I am, you called me, what do you want?" |
14411 | His name? |
14411 | How about kindness to people? |
14411 | How about the other side? |
14411 | How could he do his work? |
14411 | How does this snow come? |
14411 | How in the world did they get all those tiles up on the roof and fitted in place? |
14411 | How many days has December? |
14411 | How much do you have to pay for a good ice cream soda? |
14411 | How tall are you as you look at yourself in the light of the Saviour''s life? |
14411 | How were these thousands of stones put in place? |
14411 | I How can we account for it? |
14411 | I inquired of the man who sat next me,"What are those little trees for?" |
14411 | I inquired,"How long do they keep those little trees there?" |
14411 | Is it dependable? |
14411 | Is it for the pleasure of sleeping? |
14411 | Is n''t it glorious? |
14411 | Is n''t this a beautiful apple? |
14411 | Is that where you wear the Saviour''s cross? |
14411 | Is the noise very loud? |
14411 | Is there a"town clock"where you live? |
14411 | Is your life clock running true? |
14411 | It brings him much nearer to us, does it not, to think that our Saviour was once as we are? |
14411 | It is a beautiful structure, is it not? |
14411 | It would be more difficult to sleep that way than just standing in the corner, would n''t it? |
14411 | Let me see, what was that picture? |
14411 | MEMORY VERSE,_ Job 38: 22_"Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?" |
14411 | MEMORY VERSE,_ Psalm_ 119: 9"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his ways? |
14411 | Now what do you think of that? |
14411 | Now what is it? |
14411 | Now who in the world is speaking to me? |
14411 | Now you agree with me, do you not? |
14411 | Oh, yes,"Chrysanthemum( is that the way to spell it?) |
14411 | Shall we rebuild here or shall we take another location?" |
14411 | That is not kindness, is it? |
14411 | The A stands for, can you guess? |
14411 | This is good- looking bread, is it not? |
14411 | To whom did Jesus come? |
14411 | WHAT DID YOU SEE? |
14411 | Well, what will make this year a happy year for you? |
14411 | What about the lock? |
14411 | What did you do? |
14411 | What do these buds tell us? |
14411 | What does Thanksgiving mean to you? |
14411 | What does it mean? |
14411 | What does this bank stand for? |
14411 | What is the twenty- fifth? |
14411 | What language is it? |
14411 | What lessons does this knife teach? |
14411 | What must you buy? |
14411 | What tests would you apply? |
14411 | What time is it? |
14411 | What tree could that be? |
14411 | What was his name? |
14411 | What was the chest? |
14411 | What were they? |
14411 | What would we do without doors? |
14411 | When I returned home one of the first questions my little boy asked me was,"What did you see?" |
14411 | When, after the fire, they came together, they inquired,"What shall we do? |
14411 | Which Psalm is it? |
14411 | Who conceived the idea of letters? |
14411 | Who did all this? |
14411 | Who invented the first alphabet? |
14411 | Who is the man who is most eagerly looked for as he comes down the street? |
14411 | Who mixed the paints, who handled the brush to give such color to this apple? |
14411 | Who receives, at every door where he stops, a most cordial welcome? |
14411 | Who would listen to him? |
14411 | Why does God give us sleep? |
14411 | Why should I talk like this, for I can not be a boy again? |
14411 | Would you consider the color of his hair? |
14411 | Would you insist that he should be of a certain height? |
14411 | Would you look upon the clothes that he wore? |
14411 | You are a big boy, are n''t you? |
14411 | You think there are some better gifts, do you? |
33290 | 2 I am not worthy: cold and bare The lodging of my soul; How canst Thou deign to enter there? |
33290 | 3 Can I Gethsemane forget? |
33290 | 3 I am not worthy; yet, my God, How can I say Thee nay; Thee, who didst give Thy Flesh and Blood My ransom- price to pay? |
33290 | Am I trying to love and serve God with all my heart? |
33290 | Do ye not know, that they who minister about holy things live of the sacrifice; and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? |
33290 | Have I always told the truth? |
33290 | Have I been honest in everything? |
33290 | Have I been regular in my times of receiving the Holy Communion? |
33290 | Have I been to Church every Sunday, and kept the rest of the day as I ought? |
33290 | Have I done anything impure, or said anything impure, or encouraged any impure thought? |
33290 | Have I fallen into any special sin, which is troubling my mind, and keeping me back from God? |
33290 | Have I quarrelled with any one, or lost my temper? |
33290 | Have I said my prayers reverently and carefully every night and morning? |
33290 | Have I thought or spoken evil of another? |
33290 | Have I tried to forgive any who may have done me a wrong? |
33290 | If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your worldly things? |
33290 | Is there any sin I am not willing to give up? |
33290 | Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? |
33290 | Or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? |
33290 | What bad thoughts have I given way to? |
33290 | What evil words have I spoken? |
33290 | Who goeth a warfare at any time of his own cost? |
33290 | Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? |
33290 | Whoso hath this world''s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? |
33290 | [_ As each commandment is read, ask yourself,_"Have I kept this commandment?" |
33290 | _ Then try to remember your sins of the day, and ask yourself such questions at these_:-- What wrong thing have I done to- day? |
36912 | He is altogether dead in sin? |
36912 | Of his present darkness what shall we say? |
36912 | What shall be done to quiet the heart- cry of the world: how answer the dumb appeal for help we so often divine below eyes that laugh? |
10274 | Doth not,saith this kind of slanderer,"his temper incline him to do thus? |
10274 | I pray thee;what language could be more courteous and gentle? |
10274 | My son;what compellation could be more benign and kind? |
10274 | Swords,saith the psalmist of such persons,"are in their lips: Who( say they) doth hear?" |
10274 | Tell me,saith he,"what difficulty, what sweat, what art, what hazard, what more doth it require beside a little care"to abstain wholly from it? |
10274 | give glory to God, and make confession;what words could be more inoffensively pertinent? |
10274 | Again:"He doeth well,"saith the sycophant,"it is true; but why, and to what end? |
10274 | And is not the same, is not much greater care to be used in regard to the incomparably great and glorious Majesty of Heaven? |
10274 | And what reasonable man will do that which is disgustful to the wise and good, is grateful only to the foolish and baser sort of men? |
10274 | And when he sentenced that great malefactor, the cause of so much mischief, this was all he said,"Why hast thou troubled us? |
10274 | Are not some persons always, and all persons sometimes, incapable otherwise to divert themselves, than by such discourse? |
10274 | But first it may be demanded what the thing we speak of is, or what this facetiousness doth import? |
10274 | Could he have said more? |
10274 | Do pretty conceits or humorous talk carry on any business, or perform any work? |
10274 | For he that dareth thus to injure his neighbour, who can trust him in anything he speaks? |
10274 | For in ordinary conversation what needful or reasonable occasion can intervene of violating this command? |
10274 | For what can be more unsuitable and unpromising, than to seem serious with those who are not so themselves, or demure with the scornful? |
10274 | He that is so loose in so clear and so considerable a point of obedience to God, how can he be supposed staunch in regard to any other? |
10274 | If he goeth to clear himself from the matter of such aspersions:"What need,"saith this insidious speaker,"of that? |
10274 | If oaths generally become cheap and vile, what will that of allegiance signify? |
10274 | If we do mark what is done in many( might I not say, in most?) |
10274 | If we look upon such language in its own nature, what is it but a symptom of a foul, a weak, a disordered and a distempered mind? |
10274 | Is it not grown so common a thing to asperse causelessly that no man wonders at it, that few dislike, that scarce any detest it? |
10274 | Is it not more advisable to suppress our passion, or to let it evaporate otherwise, than to discharge it in so foul a way? |
10274 | Is it not the sport and divertisement of many, to cast dirt in the faces of all they meet with; to bespatter any man with foul imputations? |
10274 | Is it not wisdom rather to smother or curb our humour, than by satisfying it thus to forfeit our innocence? |
10274 | Is it not, as most men do, out of ill design? |
10274 | Is not always the straight way more short than the oblique and crooked? |
10274 | Is not this plainly the life of a child that is ever busy, yet never hath anything to do? |
10274 | Shall we, I say, have no recreation? |
10274 | Since he rejecteth the grounds of reasoning,''tis vain to be in earnest; what then remains but to jest with him? |
10274 | Surely to this case we may accommodate that of a truly great wit, King Solomon:"I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it?" |
10274 | To what purpose, I pray, is God''s name hooked and haled into our idle talk? |
10274 | What can be more absurd than to make business of play, to be studious and laborious in toys, to make a profession or drive a trade of impertinency? |
10274 | What do men commonly please themselves in so much, as in carping and harshly censuring, in defaming and abusing their neighbours? |
10274 | What is a little truth, what is any man''s reputation in comparison to the carrying on such brave designs? |
10274 | What more than this can he say for himself? |
10274 | What satisfaction will any man have from it? |
10274 | What therefore, beside monstrous vanity and unaccountable perverseness, should hold men so devoted thereto? |
10274 | What were more ridiculous than to swear the truth of a demonstrable theorem? |
10274 | Who then will be the more trusted for swearing? |
10274 | Who will regard his fame, who will be concerned to excuse his faults, who so outrageously abuseth the reputation of others? |
10274 | Why should those games which excite our wits and fancies be less reasonable than those whereby our grosser parts and faculties are exercised? |
10274 | an assembly of treacherous men, and they bend their tongues like their bow for lies"? |
10274 | are the treasures and joys of paradise, or the damages and torments in hell, more jesting matters? |
10274 | can there be any valuable exchange for our honesty? |
10274 | companies, what is it but one telling malicious stories of, or fastening odious characters upon another? |
10274 | did I name you? |
10274 | do you not prejudge yourself guilty? |
10274 | had he not fair opportunity and strong temptation to it? |
10274 | hath he not acted so in like cases? |
10274 | have not others made as fair a show? |
10274 | is not the fair way more pleasant and passable than the foul? |
10274 | is not the plain way more easy than the rough and cragged? |
10274 | may he not dissemble now? |
10274 | may he not recoil hereafter? |
10274 | may not his interest have swayed him thereto? |
10274 | must I needs mean you? |
10274 | or must our recreations be ever clownish, or childish, consisting merely in rustical efforts, or in petty sleights of bodily strength and activity? |
10274 | what will not he say to please his vile humour, or further his base interest? |
10274 | what, thinks any man, will he scruple or boggle at, who hath the heart in thus doing wrong and mischief to imitate the devil? |
10274 | why do you then assume it to yourself? |
10274 | why should we so often mention Him, when we do not mean anything about Him? |
10274 | why, if he deemeth his own honesty to bear proof, doth he cite Heaven to warrant it? |
10274 | would he have said so much, if he had not conceived the matter to be of exceeding weight and consequence? |
10274 | would it not, into every sentence to foist a dog or a horse, to intrude Turkish, or any barbarous gibberish, be altogether as proper and pertinent? |
36667 | Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? |
36667 | And it is a question which they must settle with their consciences,"how can they meet these charges at the bar of the Final Judge?" |
36667 | Here is a man that asserts that he has been born again, but where is the evidence? |
36667 | The absorbing inquiry will be"What must I do to be saved?" |
36667 | They are led to inquire-- is there any_ reality_ in the work of the Holy Spirit? |
36667 | Under these circumstances what is duty? |
36667 | What does he do more than others? |
36667 | What would Paul do? |
19193 | Are you in earnest? 19193 Did n''t I pay you enough for it? |
19193 | Didst thou bring''sealed instructions''with thee, dove, How to unlock the fount of mother- love? 19193 How can I get shoes, and where?" |
19193 | Never delay To do the duty which the hour brings, Whatever it be in great or smaller things; For who doth know What he shall do the coming day? |
19193 | Oh, will you wait For us beyond the shining gate? 19193 So here hath been dawning another blue day; Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away? |
19193 | Unanswered yet? 19193 Unanswered yet? |
19193 | What care?'' 19193 What is the best a friend can be To any soul, to you or me? |
19193 | What matter I or they, Mine or another''s day, So the right word be said And life the sweeter made? |
19193 | Whence came the father- heart in man, The mother- heart in woman? 19193 Wonderful the whiteness of thy glory; Can we truly that perfection share? |
19193 | Would you like some grapes? |
19193 | You, frail, powerless, little one? |
19193 | ''O foolish little acorn, wilt thou be all this?'' |
19193 | And are there not many voices that are silent, taking no part in the song, giving forth no praise? |
19193 | And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? |
19193 | And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? |
19193 | Are our feet shod for the journey? |
19193 | Beyond these two wide, general lessons of all sorrow, it usually is not wise to press our question,"Why is it?" |
19193 | Bird, where is thy wing? |
19193 | But are our tongues the only faculties we can use for Christ? |
19193 | But are we sure that the calamity to Christ''s kingdom would be any less if one of us should fail God in our lowly place any common day? |
19193 | But do we know the story of the picture? |
19193 | But do you know that your life may not stand any day, and be all that stands, between some great flood of moral ruin and broad, fair fields of beauty? |
19193 | But love-- O Lord, our souls are far from strong, And love is such a tender, home- nursed dove-- How can we, Lord, our enemies bless and love? |
19193 | But may it not be that he would send the comfort through our own heart and lips? |
19193 | But may it not be that ours is the hand that must be stretched out in love, and laid, in Christ''s name, on the life that is in danger? |
19193 | But was that lovely young life indeed wasted? |
19193 | But what shall we say of those strong men and women who do almost nothing but rest? |
19193 | Croons a young mother over her babe:--"And art thou mine, thou helpless, trembling thing, Thou lovely presence? |
19193 | Dear Lord, Is there not unto thee some easier way-- Some way through churchly service, song, or psalm, Or ritual grand, to reach thy heaven''s calm?" |
19193 | Do parents think their grown- up children are too big to be petted, to be kissed at meeting and parting? |
19193 | Do you know the book''s story? |
19193 | Do you need money?" |
19193 | Do you remember about Christ''s feet, that they were pierced with nails? |
19193 | Does God answer prayers? |
19193 | Does faith begin to fail? |
19193 | Does not God miss any voice that is silent in the music of earth that rises up to him? |
19193 | Does not the same law of love"that seeketh not its own"apply when our beloved ones are called up higher? |
19193 | Does the busy husband think that his weary wife would not care any longer for the caresses and marks of tenderness with which he used to thrill her? |
19193 | From your new mansion glorious Will you lean out to look for us? |
19193 | Have I grace enough to bow in submission to God, if he were to take away my dearest treasure? |
19193 | His friends said he wasted his precious life; but was that life wasted when Jesus was crucified? |
19193 | How am I to test myself as to whether his purpose in afflicting me has been accomplished? |
19193 | How can I roll this burden of mine upon God?" |
19193 | How can we make sure of an influence that shall be only a benediction? |
19193 | How can we present ourselves as a sacrifice to God? |
19193 | How does your friend know that you are grateful, if you do not in some way tell him that you are? |
19193 | How shall I walk before thee? |
19193 | How, then, may we become transfigured Christians? |
19193 | If not, what need would there be for iron shoes? |
19193 | If this does not repay, What else? |
19193 | If you are kind to another, is he not your debtor? |
19193 | If you show another favors, does not he owe you thanks? |
19193 | In what life is there no place that is always kept green in memory, because there a sweet blessing was received? |
19193 | Is his dealing with me purely disciplinary? |
19193 | Is hope departing, And think you all in vain those falling tears? |
19193 | Is not God''s praise better than man''s? |
19193 | Is not this strange snow- flower an illustration of many Christian lives? |
19193 | Is there any heroism of this world''s life finer than that? |
19193 | May we not then say that children bring great possibility of blessing and happiness to a home? |
19193 | Or am I not anxiously to inquire concerning the specific lessons, but rather to let him show in due time what he designed? |
19193 | Or could I meet death without fear?" |
19193 | Shall we not catch St. Paul''s unconquerable spirit, that we may never faint in any trial? |
19193 | Shall we not learn to work swiftly for our Master? |
19193 | Shall we not quickly start our heart- song of gratitude, calling upon every power of our being to praise God? |
19193 | Shall we not seek to crowd the days with most earnest living? |
19193 | Should we not be willing to endure loss and pain that those dear to us may receive gain and blessing? |
19193 | Shut is the far- off, shining gate-- Are we too late?" |
19193 | So he asked her,"What is your father teaching you?" |
19193 | Some people are forever unwisely testing themselves by questions like these:"Could I endure sore bereavement? |
19193 | Suppose that her hand should slack, that she should grow negligent, would she not clearly be robbing God? |
19193 | The Master''s teaching is inexorable:"If ye love them that love you, what thank have ye? |
19193 | The following words are suggestive:"Unanswered yet, the prayer your lips have pleaded In agony of heart these many years? |
19193 | The good Samaritan is our Lord''s answer to the question,"Who is my neighbor?" |
19193 | The love throughout the cosmic plan Which makes God''s children human? |
19193 | Then may we not even put sorrow down as one of the secrets of happiness in a true Christian home? |
19193 | Then, how much can we put into thoughts of prayer, into longings, desires, aspirations, beyond the possibilities of speech? |
19193 | There is no need to try to solve that old, yet always new, question of human hearts,"Why does God permit so much suffering in his children?" |
19193 | To be victorious and live, or to succumb and die? |
19193 | We are apt to ask:--"Dear Lord, will it not do, If we return not wrong for wrong, And neither love nor hate? |
19193 | We continue asking and asking, and God continues giving and giving; but how many of us remember always or often to give thanks for answered prayer? |
19193 | What are the lessons he would teach me? |
19193 | What is prayer? |
19193 | What remembrance would it then have had? |
19193 | When our heart is stirred to its depths, what large, great things can we ask in words? |
19193 | Who will say that he may not yet, in some way, at some time, be brought back to God? |
19193 | Why has God thus dealt with me? |
19193 | Why was a double stroke necessary? |
19193 | Why was it? |
19193 | Would her deed of careful keeping have been told over all the world? |
19193 | Would it be true kindness to keep these birds always in the sunshine? |
19193 | Would it be true love for these if God would hear their prayers for the removal of their pain? |
19193 | Would there have been any mention of it on the Gospel pages? |
19193 | Yes; but suppose she had left the ointment in the unbroken vase? |
19193 | Yet ought we not to give thanks for all that we receive and for every answered request? |
19193 | keep my garments whole? |
2603 | Did you get him? |
2603 | RECENTLY a London magazine sent out 1,000 inquiries on the question,''What is home?'' 2603 Where is Hardy?" |
2603 | Will you please look through my mouth and nose? |
2603 | ''See what?'' |
2603 | ''Where did you get them?'' |
2603 | ''Whose establishment is that?'' |
2603 | A fellow- creature there, and we on shore? |
2603 | And yet, who is at fault? |
2603 | And, boys, what do you suppose that package was? |
2603 | As one has asked:"Could fools to keep their own contrive, On whom, on what could gamesters thrive?" |
2603 | But how is one to do this with so many demands made upon her? |
2603 | But one asks, If tobacco is so injurious, why is it used with such apparent pleasure? |
2603 | But quickly one replies,"Why should there be any social glass?" |
2603 | But who is this aged woman with worn garments and disheveled hair, with agonized entreaty falling upon her knees beside this brave, strong man? |
2603 | Did you save them all?" |
2603 | Dr. J. M. Buckley asks:"Have you a purpose and a plan?" |
2603 | Have I a friend? |
2603 | How can one be in their company, be moved to laughter and to tears and not be contaminated by them? |
2603 | How can she be a true mother to her children and neglect their mental and spiritual growth? |
2603 | How do the American people deal with evils when they deal with them at all? |
2603 | How many friends have I? |
2603 | How may home be made attractive? |
2603 | How may we best benefit ourselves, inspire one another, and in it all, honor God? |
2603 | How shall the company disband in due season? |
2603 | How shall we oppose the evil? |
2603 | I can invoice my stock, my goods, my land, my money, can I invoice my friends? |
2603 | I said to myself,"What does God mean to allow me to worship here?" |
2603 | If Christ Himself were here in body, do you know what He would advise on this point? |
2603 | Is family worship formal, or has it ceased? |
2603 | Is the class- meeting becoming extinct? |
2603 | Is the prayer- meeting lifeless? |
2603 | Is the revival spirit decaying? |
2603 | It becomes a question which is of greater importance, the life and health of the wife and mother, or the paltry wages of a servant? |
2603 | It is not true that the dance, as an institution, is not patronized by the most capable in conversation and companionship? |
2603 | It might be a mark of credit rather than an embarrassment for one to answer,"No,"to the question,"Have you read the latest book?" |
2603 | Now, how may we get the largest amount of pleasure, of rest, of recreation from such gatherings? |
2603 | Says Holmes:"Do n''t you know how hard it is for some people to get out of a room when their visit is really over? |
2603 | She kept quiet as long as she could; but finally rising came to them, and addressing the judge, asked:''Do you know me?'' |
2603 | THE PRACTICAL QUESTION FOR US HERE AND NOW IS, How may we openly oppose this drink evil? |
2603 | The first man to help them land was Hardy, whose words rang above the roar of the breakers:"Are you all here? |
2603 | The judge turned to the trembling woman and said:"This is a pretty clear case, madam; have you anything to say in your defense?" |
2603 | There should not be a social glass; but what has that to do with the fact that the social glass is here? |
2603 | To what may we turn? |
2603 | WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP? |
2603 | WHAT IS HOME? |
2603 | We answer, by asking, Will one''s home be happier and more prosperous without some deadly Foe continually invading it, or with such a Foe? |
2603 | What did Agassiz find on that tour? |
2603 | What is our duty? |
2603 | What is that secret? |
2603 | What is the uncertain mark of a friend? |
2603 | What principles are to guide one in his choice of reading, that he may select only the wisest, purest, and helpfulest from all these classes of books? |
2603 | What was her end? |
2603 | When Great Britain went a little too far in"taxation without representation,"what course did the American Colonies adopt in remedying the evil? |
2603 | When a Territory is organized, or a State comes into the Union, what is done? |
2603 | When the British Government unduly impressed American seamen, how was the difficulty settled? |
2603 | When we wanted to increase our territory in 1803, and in 1845, and in 1867, how did we go about it? |
2603 | When will the drink evil cease in our country? |
2603 | When will we have representatives in Congress, lawmakers who will stand for the abolition of the saloon, and who will vote it out of existence? |
2603 | Where may we go? |
2603 | Who does not find himself, daily, looking through other people''s glasses, weighing on other people''s scales, sounding other people''s voices? |
2603 | Who does this, if it is done? |
2603 | Who is it that feeds and supports them? |
2603 | Who is it that helps one to places of honor and usefulness? |
2603 | Who is it that recognizes one''s true worth, extols his virtues, and gives tone and quality to the diligent services of months and years? |
2603 | Who knows what such an one will do next? |
2603 | Whoever heard of a first- class loafer who did not e- a- t the weed or burn it, or both? |
2603 | Would it be narrow or uncharitable to assert that not to stand upon this platform argues that one is not sober, or not informed, or not conscientious? |
2603 | You answer,"Why allow these fountains of death to exist?" |

38378 | THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH IS IT OF DIVINE ORIGIN? |
16863 | Have you not deposited silver with some person of your acquaintance? |
16863 | The treasurer inquired, what could I say? |
16863 | Then it is your wish to recover? |
16863 | Then why are you so desirous to go to sea? 16863 To- day the king noticed me for the first time.... After some time he said,''And you, in black, what are you? |
16863 | We part on this green islet, Love, Thou for the Eastern main, I, for the setting sun, Love-- Oh, when to meet again? 16863 What can be done to excite a missionary spirit in this country? |
16863 | Where is your silver, gold, and jewels? |
16863 | Why,asked the latter,"does the teacher return to Rangoon? |
16863 | ''Are they foreigners?'' |
16863 | ''The king does as he pleases,''said she,''I am not the king, what can I do?'' |
16863 | ''What, you speak Burman?--the priests that I heard of last night? |
16863 | And have we ever repented that we came? |
16863 | And is it indeed true that my own dear Harriet and my dearly loved brother are adopted into the family of God''s chosen ones? |
16863 | And when you were able to speak, why were you not incessantly telling us of this day of doom, when we visited you? |
16863 | And wilt thou, then, with soothing voice, Of Jesus''painful conflicts tell? |
16863 | Are you married? |
16863 | Are you teachers of religion? |
16863 | Are your names really written in the Lamb''s book of life?... |
16863 | At two o''clock in the morning, wishing to obtain one more token of recognition, I roused her attention and said,''Do you still love the Saviour?'' |
16863 | But if not, oh who can tell your dreadful danger? |
16863 | But is this all the silver you have?" |
16863 | But, said Mr. Judson, suppose you change worlds in the meantime? |
16863 | Can I sacriligiously wish to rob her crown of a single gem? |
16863 | Can we wonder that after laboring in loneliness and sorrow three years, such an event as this should fill their hearts with joy and consolation? |
16863 | Can you tell me of any?" |
16863 | Christians in America, was Mrs. Judson''s time thrown away, when she was leading Burmese females to the knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus? |
16863 | For if one heathen heart could be thus led by the Spirit to investigate the truth, why not more.--Why not many? |
16863 | Forgive the throbbings of my heart? |
16863 | Had we not better call the physician? |
16863 | Have you repented and turned to him? |
16863 | He persisted''Are there any in Rangoon?'' |
16863 | He stopped, partly turned towards us--''Who are these?'' |
16863 | His Majesty said,"Will you then come again?" |
16863 | How can you endure that gloom without the light of God''s countenance? |
16863 | How could you think on anything but our salvation?... |
16863 | I said again,''Do you still love me?'' |
16863 | I told him, I should like to sit up and watch by him, but he objected, and said in a tender supplicating tone,''Can not we sleep together?'' |
16863 | I waited not for the usual question to a suppliant,''What do you want?'' |
16863 | If this world is so happy, what must heaven be?" |
16863 | Is it suitable that you should take it? |
16863 | Is not this encouraging?" |
16863 | Many months later he wrote;"You ask many questions about our sufferings at Ava, but how can I answer them now? |
16863 | Mr. Mason said to him,''Is there nothing we can do for you? |
16863 | My acquaintances are all in prison, with whom should I deposit silver? |
16863 | My brother, have you a heart to pray to God? |
16863 | Now, what is all this world to me, Since I have found my world in thee? |
16863 | On seeing my tears, he said,''Are you not reconciled to the will of God, my love?'' |
16863 | Or are you all careless and indifferent respecting your precious soul? |
16863 | Or shall we try to remove you into town immediately?'' |
16863 | Shall we take them or let them remain?'' |
16863 | She turned away from me in alarm, and I, obliged to seek comfort elsewhere, found my way to the grave, but who ever obtained comfort there? |
16863 | Should I not rather stay and assist in gathering in these dear scattered lambs of the fold? |
16863 | They have never done anything to deserve such treatment; and is it right they should be treated thus? |
16863 | What good has been effected? |
16863 | What must I do, said I, to obtain a mitigation of the sufferings of the two teachers? |
16863 | What scene of beauty''mid the desert wakes? |
16863 | What will be the state of your soul if Jesus is not your friend? |
16863 | What will you do when this favorite rill of pleasure ceases to flow? |
16863 | What wilt thou have us to do? |
16863 | When did you arrive? |
16863 | Where wilt thou have us to go? |
16863 | Who can paint the alarming prospect before you? |
16863 | Who could be found to take his place? |
16863 | Who created all that her eyes beheld? |
16863 | Who is willing to obey this last, this most benevolent command of our Lord, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature? |
16863 | Why did I not listen to the advice of friends in Bengal and remain till the war was concluded? |
16863 | Why do you dress so?'' |
16863 | Why, oh why did you ever speak of any other thing, while we were ignorant of this most momentous of all truths? |
16863 | Wilt thou, then, kneel beside the sod Of her who kneels with thee no more, And give thy heart anew to God, Who griefs unnumbered for thee bore? |
16863 | a medical man too?'' |
16863 | adds her husband,"With what meekness, patience magnanimity and Christian fortitude, she bore those sufferings; and can I wish they had been less? |
16863 | and why might not the same Spirit lead them to him who is not only the truth, but the way,--the way to Heaven? |
16863 | or that the moment of departure must arrive, before she could falter,"My child,_ I hope_ I am willing?" |
16863 | should we have white teeth like a dog or a monkey?" |
16863 | through the silent waste, what murmur breaks? |
16863 | wilt thou then forgive the tear? |
16863 | wilt thou watch with wakeful eye, The dying pillow of thy love? |
38227 | Does that make any difference? |
38227 | Where do we read, my dear, in the Bible about the Rainbow? |
38227 | How many colours are there? |
38227 | Julia''s mamma went up to her, and said,"Will you be so obliging as to let us have a shelter from the storm? |
38227 | What was Noah''s conduct on leaving the ark? |
37143 | What are they doing in heaven? |
37143 | But why should he try to convey an idea of that growing answer to his prayer? |
37143 | How did they start? |
37143 | If the Lord has all power and has a sincere desire to make the world good, why does he not do it by one sweep of his hand or by one magic word? |
37143 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or peril, or sword? |
37143 | Subconscious Religion Does God Answer Christians Only? |
37143 | We have put away childish things and here we stand, men and women, saved by grace, and"Who can separate us from the love of Christ? |
37143 | What did they do first? |
37143 | What is the reason for his commandment to pray to him and to ask him to do that which he wishes to do and can do himself? |
37143 | Why could not he follow their example? |
38371 | Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? |
38371 | By what species of casuistry does any person think it possible to put this forward as sane public policy? |

39839 | And what figure is so expressive of the Christian faith as the hallowed symbol of the Cross? |
39839 | CONCLUSION-- Popularity of Symbolism-- Totems-- Kobong-- Heraldic Symbols-- Symbol of the Cross: What it implies? |
39839 | Who can picture a sincerely Christian devotion hacking and hewing at the statue of the Redeemer? |
22098 | A new commandment I give unto you,( what is it, Lord?) 22098 Also the sons of the stranger,( who are these if they are not Gentiles?) |
22098 | Is he the God of the Jews only? 22098 Well,"says one,"what is the meaning of the texts which you have quoted, where it speaks of Sabbaths?" |
22098 | Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments& c. Did he mean the ten commandments? |
22098 | _ These are the_ FEASTS_ of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim in their[ 13]seasons_, EVERY THING UPON HIS DAY--37th v.( May we not deviate a little? |
22098 | ''Has the day been changed?'' |
22098 | ( Does Paul here teach us to forsake the ordinances of God, instituted by the Saviour-- Baptism and the Lord''s Supper? |
22098 | ( Now if the Sabbath had been changed or abolished, would it not have been_ profitable_ to have told them so?) |
22098 | ( Why is it Lord?) |
22098 | ( what you have been taught before)_ the Sabbath day to keep it holy_;"( which day is it Lord?) |
22098 | --What_ law_ is here established? |
22098 | 16, 17 v._ Who are the true Israelites?_ Answer, God''s people. |
22098 | A question was asked, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? |
22098 | Again, if the Sabbath was not instituted in Paradise, why did Moses mention it in connection with the creation of the world? |
22098 | Again, is it right and lawful to carry forth our dead on the Sabbath? |
22098 | And did not God require them to keep THE Sabbath before he made this covenant with them in Horeb? |
22098 | Are we_ all_ right? |
22098 | By what authority do you call the seventh day Sabbath, the Jewish Sabbath? |
22098 | Can it be supposed that his fixing on upon_ seven_ was accidental? |
22098 | Did he break the Sabbath? |
22098 | Did he keep the commandments? |
22098 | Did not God say that Abraham kept his commandments, statutes, and laws? |
22098 | Did our Saviour ever meet with his disciples on the first day of the week after the evening of the day of his resurrection? |
22098 | Do you ask for any more evidence that these are the Jewish Sabbaths, and that God''s Sabbath is separate from them? |
22098 | Do you ask for the proof? |
22098 | Does he not say that he is the Shepherd of the Sheep,--what, of the Jews only? |
22098 | Does not Isaiah say that God will bless the_ man_, and the_ son_ of_ man_, and the_ sons_ of the_ stranger_, that keep THE Sabbath? |
22098 | Does this differ from the_ law_ God? |
22098 | Does this look like abolishing the Sabbath day? |
22098 | FIRST QUESTION IS, WHEN WAS THE SABBATH INSTITUTED? |
22098 | Has anything been said about the 1st day yet? |
22098 | He asks them if they had a sheep fall into the ditch on the Sabbath, if they would not haul him out? |
22098 | Hear Paul:"Is he the God of the Jews only? |
22098 | His answer is,"Why do ye transgress the commandment of God?" |
22098 | How is that, says one? |
22098 | How much better then is a man than a sheep? |
22098 | How? |
22098 | IF SO, WHEN, AND FOR WHAT REASON? |
22098 | IF SO, WHEN, AND WHERE IS THE PROOF? |
22098 | If God instituted the Sabbath in Paradise and has not abolished it here, then must it be_ perpetual_? |
22098 | If you do n''t know, why are you so sure that the_ first_ day is right? |
22098 | Is he not also of the Gentiles? |
22098 | Is he not also of the[ 45]Gentiles? |
22098 | Is it not clear, then, that the Sabbath was made for Adam and his posterity, the whole family of_ man_? |
22098 | Is not the Sabbath included in these commandments? |
22098 | Is not the stranger and all within their gates included in the covenant to keep the Sabbath? |
22098 | Now I ask if there is one particle of proof that the Sabbath of the Lord is included in these Sabbaths and feast days? |
22098 | Now I ask if this looks like Sunday, the first day of the week? |
22098 | Now we ask, if God has ever abrogated the law of the Sabbath? |
22098 | Now why this preference for the number_ seven_? |
22098 | Of what_ law_? |
22098 | Once more,"One came and said unto him, good master what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? |
22098 | Says one, has not the ceremonial law been annulled and nailed to the cross? |
22098 | Sick, or well, ministers or laymen, do they not ride back and forth to meeting? |
22098 | The 2d question is, did our Lord ever trifle with, or mislead his disciples? |
22098 | The first question is, at what age of the world is this, where our Lord recognizes the Sabbath? |
22098 | The law of ceremonies? |
22098 | The second question then, is this: HAS THE SABBATH BEEN ABOLISHED SINCE THE SEVENTH DAY OF CREATION? |
22098 | The third question: WAS THE SEVENTH- DAY SABBATH EVER CHANGED? |
22098 | Then he asked him which? |
22098 | To the Colossians he asks,"Why as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances where all are to perish with their using?" |
22098 | To what people did_ the_ Sabbath belong at the destruction of Jerusalem, nearly forty years after the crucifixion? |
22098 | Very well then, does not the_ seventh_ come the day before the eighth? |
22098 | Was not the second covenant written on the hearts of the Gentile, even the law of Commandments? |
22098 | What do you mean by_ beginning_? |
22098 | What does God say of Abraham? |
22098 | What was it? |
22098 | Where do you draw the distinguishing line, to show which is and which is not MAN between the_ natural seed of Abraham_ and the Gentiles? |
22098 | Where is the precept? |
22098 | Where was it then? |
22098 | Where? |
22098 | Where? |
22098 | Which day now will you choose? |
22098 | Who is the stranger? |
22098 | Who shall settle this question? |
22098 | Why did he say,"Think not I am come to destroy the_ law_ or the prophets? |
22098 | Why was it Paul''s manner always to preach on the seventh day Sabbath to Jews and Gentiles? |
22098 | Why? |
22098 | Why? |
22098 | Why? |
22098 | Why? |
22098 | Yes, but what of that? |
22098 | _ First then, the distinction of the two codes by Jesus._ The Pharisees ask the Saviour why his disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? |
22098 | _ Has the Sabbath been abolished since the seventh day of creation? |
22098 | _ Was the seventh day Sabbath ever changed? |
22098 | _ When was the Sabbath instituted?_ Here we have endeavored to show when, and how it continued until its re- enactment on Mount Sinai. |
22098 | and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world? |
22098 | every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it,( does he mean me? |
22098 | iii: 31, he closes with this language:"Do we then make void the law through faith? |
22098 | our Saviour says to his disciples, in answer to their questions, When shall these things be? |
22098 | why not five or ten days, or any other number? |
22098 | xvi: 23) and then state that the seventh day Sabbath commenced, as_ some_ will have it? |
36350 | And who is granny? |
36350 | Did you ever go to a Sunday- school or Band of Hope meeting? |
36350 | Do you suppose, Harry, he could do anything with the cooking- stove? 36350 So? |
36350 | Well,I said,"you believe Jesus died to save you?" |
36350 | A pig is not pretty? |
36350 | Are not the Annamese and Tonquinese Chinese, to whom liberty is as dear as to the French? |
36350 | Are they allowed to go about everywhere free from the insults, abuse, assaults, wrongs and injuries from which men of other nationalities are free? |
36350 | As I handed him a picture paper, I asked,"Are you hungry, my boy?" |
36350 | As for the Chinese who are here, are they allowed to enjoy liberty as men of all other nationalities enjoy it? |
36350 | Better let him take the umbrella to his shop and mend it, and is there anything else? |
36350 | But are the Chinese allowed to come? |
36350 | Do you realize, good friends, the contrast between America at the date of the founding of this society and the America of this year of grace? |
36350 | I said to him,"Do you believe in Christ?" |
36350 | Is it not woman''s work for woman to carry the Gospel of Christ to these despised ones? |
36350 | It was a strange, exciting, pathetic scene, that at Hampton; who that saw it will ever forget it? |
36350 | Months before, I one morning saw him standing on a street corner, with his shoe box strapped to his back, calling out in tremulous tones,"Shine, sir?" |
36350 | The hour is fraught with mystery-- A hush pervades that throng, And each one thinks of home and friends, And says at heart,"How long?" |
36350 | There was no market for grapes-- what should he do with his vineyard? |
36350 | Was ever a position in controversy more triumphantly carried? |
36350 | Well, Mr. Cable retorts, where is the evidence? |
36350 | What right has one party to affirm what the other party wants? |
36350 | What right have the French to deprive them of their liberty? |
36350 | Why not? |
40428 | How is it else that mobs should often escape with so little rebuke? |
40428 | What then will be the effect of an adherence to this principle on the part of subjects, as such? |
40428 | Who is it that stands before its walls, and utters its doom? |
26097 | Have my Children died in the Morning of their Days, and can I promise myself that I shall see the Evening of mine? 26097 _ I said, I was desolate and bereaved of Children, and who hath brought up these? |
26097 | _[*]Could I wish, that this young Inhabitant of Heaven should be degraded to Earth again? |
26097 | And am I now to complain of him, because he has removed not only a Creature of his own, but one of the Children of his Family? |
26097 | And do we now blame ourselves for this? |
26097 | And had I been as diligent as I ought, who can tell what Progress it might have made in Divine Knowledge? |
26097 | And may not that Hope be greatly confirmed from whatever, of an amiable and regular Disposition, we have observed in those that are taken away? |
26097 | And shall We object against the Force of it? |
26097 | And what if he hath chosen to bestow the distinguished Favour on_ that one_ of my little Flock, who was formed to take the tenderest Hold of my Heart? |
26097 | And what shall we say? |
26097 | And when GOD hath done all this for me, is he rashly to be suspected of Unkindness? |
26097 | And, Lord, wilt thou_ open thine Eyes on such a one, to bring_ it_ into_ strict_ Judgment with thee_[c]? |
26097 | Answer, Oh my Heart, dost thou not love thy GOD much better than all the Blessings which Earth can boast, or which the Grave hath swallowed up? |
26097 | Are not the Administrations of his Providence wise and good? |
26097 | Art thou under these Obligations to him, and wilt thou yet complain? |
26097 | Can we tax him with Injustice? |
26097 | Can we then imagine that our dear Children fall into their Graves without his Notice or Interposition? |
26097 | Can we_ teach him Knowledge_[i]? |
26097 | Did I mean in effect to say,_ Lord, I will give it up, if thou wilt not take it? |
26097 | Did I say, Lord, I absolutely insist on its Recovery; I can not, on any Terms or any Considerations whatsoever, bear to think of losing it?" |
26097 | Did he think the Life of this Child too great a Good to grant, when he thought not Christ and Glory too precious? |
26097 | Do I need additional Reasons to justify the Divine Conduct, in an Instance which my Child is celebrating in the Songs of Heaven? |
26097 | How did it learn Language so soon, and in such a Compass and Readiness? |
26097 | How shall we express our Affection to them? |
26097 | I was left alone, and these where have they been?_[k] Was this my Desolation? |
26097 | Is it in the Coffin? |
26097 | Is it in the Grave? |
26097 | Is it not our Language while we can not, like the pious_ Shunamite_ in the Text, bring our afflicted Hearts to say,_ It is well?_ III. |
26097 | Is it well with the Child? |
26097 | Is it well with thine Husband? |
26097 | Is it well with thine Husband? |
26097 | May we not then hope that many little Children are admitted into it? |
26097 | Must you not acknowledge_ it is well_, that you enjoyed so many Years of Comfort in them? |
26097 | My Brethren and Friends, what shall I say to you, who are lamenting over your_ Absaloms_, and almost wishing_ you had died for them_[m]? |
26097 | Nay, are there not many abandon''d Sinners who would tremble at such Expressions? |
26097 | Or have We any new Right to_ reply against GOD_[a], which those eminent Saints had not? |
26097 | Or shall I pretend, after all, to set up a Claim in Opposition to his? |
26097 | Or what if it had been otherwise? |
26097 | Or would it thank me for that With? |
26097 | Shall I then complain of it as a rigorous Severity to my Family, that GOD hath taken it to the Family above? |
26097 | THESE are surely convincing Reasons to the Understanding: Yet who can say, that they shalt be Reasons to the Heart? |
26097 | To borrow the Words of the sacred Writer, in a very different Sense? |
26097 | Was it a Reason to_ David_, and to_ Eli_, and is it not equally so to us? |
26097 | Was there Unkindness in that? |
26097 | What are my narrow Conceptions, that they should pretend to circumscribe infinite Wisdom, Faithfulness, and Mercy? |
26097 | What if that strong Attachment of my Heart to it, had been a Snare to the Child, and to me? |
26097 | Whence does such a Thought come, and whither would it lead? |
26097 | Where is now our Delight? |
26097 | Where is our Hope? |
26097 | Who might not claim the like Exemption? |
26097 | With what Grace, with what Decency canst thou dispute this, or any other Matter, with thy GOD? |
26097 | Would this, my Friends, be the Language of a real Christian? |
26097 | _ He that spared not his own Son_[w], he that gave me with him his Spirit and his Kingdom, why doth he deny, or why doth he remove, any other Favour? |
26097 | gone from our Embraces, and all the little Pleasures we could give it, to everlasting Darkness and Pain?" |
26097 | that you reaped so much solid Satisfaction from them? |
26097 | this my Sorrow? |
29096 | Dost thou remember, Peter, that tree which the Lord cursed, because, when He had a right to expect fruit from it, it bore none? 29096 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me? |
29096 | He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me? 29096 A third passage comes before us; for some one will say,We believe, and is it not written that he that believeth hath everlasting life?" |
29096 | And now how do we come to this place of triumph? |
29096 | And we will not marvel if to us, as to Saul of Tarsus, the answer to the question,"What wilt thou have me to do?" |
29096 | And what else is taught by the Apostle when he says,"The Spirit maketh intercession_ in the Saints_ according to the will of God"? |
29096 | But can we honestly go on to base the assertion on the fact of our own love to men, to-- souls? |
29096 | But then circumstances change, and what becomes of the peace? |
29096 | But will something within us object and say,"Shining means burning up and burning out: the candle will grow shorter, and the battery weaker"? |
29096 | But, do you say,"Are we then to seek for signs and wonders, to fast and pray, ardently longing for the Divine revelation, until the vision dawns?" |
29096 | By what means is it granted us to enter so fully into the songs which shall one day resound through the universe? |
29096 | Death is only a kiss to those who love God; and if I had not followed the will of my God in this, what had I not lost? |
29096 | Did you never read that"They that are wise shall shine as the sun, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever"? |
29096 | Does it matter in what order we ascend our virtue- scale? |
29096 | Does that seem strange? |
29096 | Finally, does it seem a contradiction in terms to talk of becoming a child? |
29096 | Have you learnt and practically entered into the truth that the supreme love is also the universal love, and that God is no respecter of persons? |
29096 | How much, therefore, hast thou received from thy Lord?" |
29096 | Is it Pacific Ocean then; or do we find, as may be those early adventurers, that it was too hastily named? |
29096 | Is it not rather God''s way of showing us how He is unceasingly glorified in those who live nearest Him, whose lives worship Him? |
29096 | Is there this property of radiation about the light that God has given you? |
29096 | Is this a little knowledge? |
29096 | It is of the utmost importance that we should take counsel''s opinion about our lives, and that we should pray,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
29096 | Of what use would a hand be that never grasped anything? |
29096 | Our question, then, is,"Whereby shall we know that we are of the truth?" |
29096 | Peter had professed to be faithful above others; and now the Lord asks him,"Lovest thou Me more than these?" |
29096 | Peter was grieved because He saith unto him the third time, Lovest thou Me? |
29096 | V HE RESTORETH MY SOUL"So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these? |
29096 | Was there ever a time when the Master expected so much from thee as this? |
29096 | We have conferences on many subjects-- on peace, on holiness, on temperance: who ever heard of another conference( as this was) on_ death_? |
29096 | What is involved in thus becoming a child of God? |
29096 | What is your sect? |
29096 | What shall we then say: Is a new Sinai set up on the square of the New Jerusalem? |
29096 | What, will you complain, like little children, because your Teacher has been giving you too many rows to add up? |
29096 | When the boat had been brought to land, the Lord questioned Peter, not saying,"Thou didst deny Me,"but"Dost thou love Me?" |
29096 | Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit, or whither shall I flee from Thy Presence? |
29096 | Who was it that answered so readily,''Lord, to whom shall we go?'' |
29096 | Will not the greatness of thy privilege be the greatness of thy condemnation? |
29096 | Would He not have to say,''None of them is lost, except the Sons of Perdition, the Denier and the Betrayer''? |
29096 | Would He speak like that now, if He were beginning His intercessory prayer again? |
29096 | XII TESTS OF FAITH, LOVE, AND RIGHTNESS What are the experimental bases of our Christianity? |
29096 | and may we not rest upon the assurance conveyed by the present tense of the verb employed? |
29096 | and were they dead before? |
29096 | and whereby shall we know that we are of the truth and assure our hearts before Him? |
29096 | how long does it take one to reach love? |
35737 | And hereupon my eyes I close, And fall asleep heart- glad, My God doth watch o''er my repose, Why should my heart be sad? |
35737 | And now, Lord, what wait I for? |
35737 | But are not also weak believers to be numbered among the unworthy communicants? |
35737 | Christ is near, What can here E''er of Him deprive me? |
35737 | For who am I that Thou shouldst so friendly call me? |
35737 | God oft gives me days of gladness, Shall I grieve If He give Seasons too of sadness? |
35737 | How can I according to my obligations be sufficiently thankful? |
35737 | How couldst Thou indeed have shown greater love to me? |
35737 | How shall I find words to express the inestimable value of these blessings? |
35737 | I trust in thee-- whom I adore; If I have thee, what need I more? |
35737 | In my affliction and pain, where, O dear Jesus, could I make my refuge, but in Thy_ five_ sacred wounds? |
35737 | In what respects indeed are we worthy that Thou doest manifest such grace unto us? |
35737 | Must I then His own restore Him? |
35737 | My Lord and my God, what shall I render unto Thee for all the benefits which Thou daily bestowest? |
35737 | O Lord, how shall we find the way, unless Thou teachest us through Thy Spirit, and through Him leadest and preservest us upon it? |
35737 | O why should I not magnify Thee with due praise, how could my spirit refrain from rejoicing? |
35737 | On whom then shall I, wretched man, put my trust? |
35737 | Though a heavy cross I''m bearing, And my heart Feels the smart, Shall I be despairing? |
35737 | Warum sollt ich mich denn grà ¦ men? |
35737 | What can it help, if thou bewail thee O''er each dark moment as it flies? |
35737 | What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never- ceasing moans and sighs? |
35737 | What is all that life possesseth? |
35737 | What shall I render unto Thee, wherewith shall I worthily praise Thee? |
35737 | Where now is the way which will lead us safely through to Thee? |
35737 | Wherewith shall I, poor needy mortal, requite such unspeakable benefit? |
35737 | Who can rob me of my heaven That God''s Son, As mine own, To my faith hath given? |
35737 | Who can sufficiently praise His mercy and loving- kindness? |
35737 | Why do you desire to go to the Holy Supper? |
35737 | Why should I make myself an exception? |
35737 | Why should sorrow ever grieve me? |
35737 | what is man that Thou art mindful of him; and the son of man that Thou doest thus receive him unto Thyself? |
10129 | Can I regret his quitting a lesser good for a bigger? 10129 Can it be? |
10129 | Have you not a little of that book done which you would be graciously pleased to give me? |
10129 | In reading, when one''s heart leaps at some precious promise made to the children of God, a cold check comes,''Am_ I_ one of them? 10129 Oh, Anna, do not you love your kind Saviour? |
10129 | Pray, madam,said the King after he had assured her she was quite mistaken,"have you ever been in company with her?" |
10129 | Remember her? 10129 Tell me, Mrs. Wesley, whether you ever really wanted bread?" |
10129 | Then was it delightful to think you were going home, dear Fan? |
10129 | What then is love? 10129 Who is God?" |
10129 | Who is Jesus? |
10129 | Why did you not send me word, that I might come to the funeral? |
10129 | ''I hear thee speak of the better land, Thou callest its children a happy band; Mother, oh, where is that radiant shore? |
10129 | ''Is it far away, in some region old, Where the rivers wander o''er sands of gold? |
10129 | ''Is it where the feathery palm- trees rise, And the date grows ripe under sunny skies? |
10129 | ''Not even their prayers, my lord?'' |
10129 | ''Were they so solemnly devoted to God at their birth as I was?'' |
10129 | ''Where is the teacher?'' |
10129 | 9:''Have not I commanded thee? |
10129 | After a few more words, she said,"Why can not you trust yourself to your Saviour at once? |
10129 | And if there is, what can be impossible to infinite power? |
10129 | And use her He did, as He does all who cry,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me do?" |
10129 | And was_ His_ mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay?-- How may_ we_ meet our conflict yet, In the dark, narrow way? |
10129 | And what if these asses blunder about the Master''s meaning for a time, and mistake it often, as they did formerly? |
10129 | And when that work was done, Life''s quiet evening come, What then awaited her? |
10129 | And whether an eternal relation be more considerable than a temporary one? |
10129 | Annseley?" |
10129 | Bright jewels of the mine? |
10129 | But now it presented itself to her eye-- and no less surely to her heart:"Have not I commanded thee? |
10129 | But which should she enter? |
10129 | Can I ever be one?" |
10129 | Can you picture to yourself the palpitation of our hearts as we approached his mansion? |
10129 | Could my own mother bear to think of her child for the next few months as in Syria instead of Germany? |
10129 | Could you not commit your soul to Him, to your Saviour, Jesus?'' |
10129 | Doth it need to be disputed whether God is better and greater than man? |
10129 | Doth the blessed God hereby cease to be the best and most excellent good? |
10129 | For what purpose has the Lord of the universe made His creature man with a comprehensive mind? |
10129 | Fresh songs and scents break forth where''er thou art-- What wakest thou in the heart? |
10129 | Had he been there before? |
10129 | Had he seen any writings concerning Jesus? |
10129 | Have I faith? |
10129 | He returned to the bedside, and rather awkwardly put the formal question to the amused invalid,"How are you to- day, my poor child?" |
10129 | Her children heard her say,"My dear Saviour, art Thou come to help me in my extremity at last?" |
10129 | Her immediate"What is that?" |
10129 | His answer was,"Shall I grant that man a reprieve of six weeks, who, if it had been in his power, would not have granted me six hours? |
10129 | His argument was real and ready:"Not believe in a God, mamma? |
10129 | How are we lamented, in the wind''s low tone, By voices that are gone?" |
10129 | How could they be otherwise when she was so thoughtful and considerate for them? |
10129 | How well the poetess indicated the, motive which led them from their native country to the unknown land!--"What sought they thus afar? |
10129 | How, but through Him, that path who trod? |
10129 | I said,''_ do n''t_ sit all in a row a long way off; come up close and cosy; we can talk ever so much better then, ca n''t we?'' |
10129 | I used to have such a desire to be a nun: why, then, am I married now? |
10129 | I_ did_ think of the alarming call,''What doest thou here, Elijah?'' |
10129 | If every one shrinks back because incompetent, who will ever do anything? |
10129 | In Thy strong hand I lay me down, So shall the work be done; For who can work so wondrously As an Almighty One? |
10129 | In her journal she writes:--"What should I be without my Bible?" |
10129 | In which direction should she turn her steps with most advantage? |
10129 | Is His nature changed? |
10129 | Is it not enough that I am bereft of both my brothers, but must my mother follow too? |
10129 | Is it not marvellous? |
10129 | Is it possible to convert Moslems to Christianity? |
10129 | Is it there, sweet mother, that better land?'' |
10129 | Is it where the flower of the orange blows, And the fire- flies glance through the myrtle boughs?'' |
10129 | Is the Christian training of the nurses to be the primary, and hospital skill the secondary object? |
10129 | Jesus said,''It is finished;''and what was His precious blood shed for? |
10129 | Let not past errors discourage; who lives and sins not? |
10129 | Look up to the firmament, and down to the deep, how can any doubt a divine power? |
10129 | Many were the touching inquiries from the patients of"How is the lady?" |
10129 | O Beauty, ancient and new, why have I known Thee so late? |
10129 | Oh, how shall we describe its strange, mysterious essence? |
10129 | Only a tomb? |
10129 | Only an hour before her death she asked,"Is Charles''letter come?" |
10129 | Or more to be valued, loved, and delighted in? |
10129 | Shall we not seek it, and weep no more? |
10129 | She told him her question was, had she talent enough to make it worth while to devote herself to music as a serious thing, as a life- work? |
10129 | Supposing that now, at this moment, Christ were to come in the clouds of heaven, and take up His redeemed, could you not trust Him? |
10129 | The human heart, with all its dreams and sighs? |
10129 | The same fond mother bent at night O''er each fair sleeping brow; She had each folded flower in sight-- Where are those dreamers now''? |
10129 | The wealth of seas, the spoils of war? |
10129 | Then, why an infidel in the world? |
10129 | Was her life thrown away? |
10129 | Were the labours and sufferings she had bodily undergone wasted? |
10129 | What am I that I should withstand God?" |
10129 | What do you think of us?" |
10129 | What if I were in as many errors as Mr. Law himself? |
10129 | What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? |
10129 | What_ here_ shall quench it?" |
10129 | When asked if she had any fear, she replied,"Why should I? |
10129 | When burdened with the difficulties of the work, she would often exclaim,"Why tarry the wheels of His chariot?" |
10129 | Whence are they charmed-- those earnest eyes? |
10129 | Where the burning rays of the ruby shine, And the diamond lights up the secret mine, And the pearl gleams forth from the coral strand? |
10129 | Who can wonder that at this too realistic sight the little girl''s valour gave way? |
10129 | Who does he expect made the world and his own body?" |
10129 | Who has not beheld the sad spectacle of women anxious to help, yet helpless because of their ignorance and want of training? |
10129 | Who knows but in this too-- a complete renunciation of the world-- you may be successful?" |
10129 | Why does she go?" |
10129 | Why give him the faculty of thinking, the powers of wit and memory; and, to crown all, an immortal and never- dying spirit? |
10129 | Why make him a little lower than the angels? |
10129 | Would not His call, His promise be enough for you? |
10129 | Would you not go if you thought it your duty?" |
10129 | Yet who that knows the Lord Jesus as"a living bright reality"can talk of sacrifice? |
10129 | and by what fatality has this happened to me?" |
10129 | and now''Please, miss, may n''t girls sign?'' |
10129 | are they ready to receive it? |
10129 | is any day otherwise with me?" |
10129 | or the son of man, that Thou shouldest so regard him?'' |

33237 | Are there certain principles according to which God selects men and nations for the fulfilment of his world purposes? |
33237 | Are there unimproved opportunities? |
33237 | Do these principles and purposes emerge in God''s dealing with America? |

33237 | Has the business too many officials or too few? |
33237 | He is answering that question which has challenged thinkers in all ages, What is the vocation of the nations? |
33237 | His life is built around such problems as these: Are the capital and force at work in this business bringing adequate returns? |
33237 | His mind must have been filled with thoughts such as these:"Where was the Russian fleet? |
33237 | How can men relate themselves in a practical way to the spread of Christianity throughout the world? |
33237 | How did he expect men to relate themselves to this, his world task? |
33237 | How much remains to be done? |
33237 | How shall he spend his energy and his money? |
33237 | Is American Christianity strong enough so God can anchor a planet to America without wrecking America? |
33237 | Is it big enough to be worth while? |
33237 | Is it honest? |
33237 | Is it safe? |
33237 | Is my Christianity equal to this task? |
33237 | Is the advertising all that could be desired? |
33237 | Is the product satisfactory as to quality and quantity? |
33237 | Is there anything the matter with the organization? |
33237 | Is there duplication of effort? |
33237 | Is there waste? |
33237 | What Can the Missionary Committee Do? |
33237 | What are some of the signs that America has been called to a place of leadership in the Kingdom? |
33237 | What causes are most worth while? |
33237 | What combinations are possible so as to reduce expenses without reducing returns? |
33237 | What do these terms mean, and whose task is indicated by each? |
33237 | What greater gifts can a man bring? |
33237 | What is America''s share of world responsibility? |
33237 | What is the most alluring task? |
33237 | What shall he do? |
33237 | What subject is there which so perfectly illustrates the principles stated by Dr. Patton as the missionary theme? |
33237 | What then are the moral and spiritual demands which a world like ours makes upon men? |
33237 | What were his missionary commands? |
33237 | Where could he find it? |
33237 | Why not apply the same methods and skill and intense application to the work of the kingdom of Jesus Christ? |
33237 | Will it last? |
33237 | Will it pay? |
33237 | Will it succeed? |

33492 | Did He not lift the veil even further in admitting us to the dark sanctuary of Gethsemane, in suffering us to hear even His utterances from the Cross? |
33492 | Do not experiences and prayers like these come home to Christians with a curious sense of familiarity? |
33492 | Does{ 85} not the spirit of the Psalter cut across it all like the keen breath of the mountain wind? |

29449 | *** How can a Contact with God be in any way described? |
29449 | *** Is the temporary loss of grace our fault, or is it a deliberate withdrawal and testing upon His part? |
29449 | *** We often think, Where am I at fault? |
29449 | *** What is it that seems more than any other thing whatever to throw us at last into the arms of God? |
29449 | *** What is pain? |
29449 | *** Why mortify the body with harsh austerities? |
29449 | Amongst husbands and wives? |
29449 | Amongst mothers and children? |
29449 | And having been taken into them, and they being a thousand times more poignant than any earthly experience, how could we forget them? |
29449 | And how can the heat or fire of God be described? |
29449 | And how shall we receive the Mind of Christ? |
29449 | And what is His will and what is His work? |

29449 | Do the sinful escape disease? |
29449 | Do they not all proceed from self and fellow- men, alive or dead? |
29449 | For I said,"Shall dogs outdo us in love and devotion?" |
29449 | For how can any condition be rightly named poverty which brings us into the riches of God? |
29449 | For how otherwise could we be made to know of the reality of spiritual things if we were never_ taken into_ them? |
29449 | For instance, how could my sweet Jesus, whom I was always so near to, be the mighty Christ and God? |
29449 | For where otherwise is his superiority? |
29449 | Hast Thou no pity for my pain?--is this Thy love? |
29449 | Hast thou created even thine own palate and digestion? |
29449 | Hast thou invented any of those fond delights that so enslave thee now? |
29449 | Hast thou thyself devised the means wherewith to satisfy the longing of thy_ creature_ for the sweets of life? |
29449 | How can He cause such pain, how can I bear such dreadful deprivations, and what is love but a sharp sword? |
29449 | How can this sense of love be reached? |
29449 | How convince them, how induce them to take the first steps? |
29449 | How could I possibly resist Him? |
29449 | How did the soul ever become so separated from God? |
29449 | How long wilt Thou leave me here-- set down upon the earth in this martyrdom of languishing for love of Thee? |
29449 | I am amazed, for where is the glory of any man? |
29449 | Is baptism of itself sufficient to get us into this Kingdom? |
29449 | Is the leading of an orderly social life sufficient to find it? |
29449 | Is this some deliberate trial of us by the Master? |
29449 | Is this the remnant of the unruly creature rising up and grappling with the soul again? |

29449 | Of things known, to what can we compare it? |
29449 | Or is it Thy will that the soul should adore? |
29449 | Shall we find it in much outward study? |
29449 | Then is it Thy will that the creature should love Thee? |
29449 | Then where do sorrow and waiting fly? |
29449 | Then why blame God? |
29449 | This is the grace of God, and what does it cost Him to pour out this mighty power through us? |
29449 | What are our enemies? |
29449 | What did I ever do that He should show me such kindness? |
29449 | What is the crucifix but that most awful of all things-- the Grief of God made Visible? |
29449 | What is this love for God, and how define it? |
29449 | What is this world? |
29449 | What lover could endure to do such a thing? |
29449 | When I thought of it all I was filled with amazement, and still am, for how can we explain such changes in manner of living and seeing? |
29449 | Where among my friends could I find perfect love? |
29449 | Where is my recompense? |
29449 | Who can by any means account for the variety of passions excited within him by the mere difference of the spacing, time, or rhythm of music? |
29449 | Why does He not permit me to do so?" |
29449 | Why have a contempt for the body? |
29449 | Why stay behind? |
29449 | Why, then, am I a sinner? |
29449 | Yet look where we will in Nature, do we find a warrant for such a thought? |
29449 | and did_ I_ ever have a hand in such a thing? |
29449 | and live for ever without biting the dust in death or disappointment? |
29449 | and what is pain? |
29449 | or some natural spiritual sickness? |

18444 | A few hymnals have named it"Bowring,"( and why not?) |
18444 | According to the record,-- What shall the dying sinner do? |
18444 | Ah, whither could we flee for aid When tempted, desolate, dismayed, Or how the hosts of hell defeat Had suffering saints no Mercy Seat? |
18444 | And could a dearer_ vade mecum_ enrich a Christian''s outfit than these lines treasured in memory? |
18444 | Another,-- And is this life prolonged to you? |
18444 | Are these the thanks we owe, Thus to abuse Eternal Love Whence all our blessings flow? |
18444 | Are we not tending upward too As fast as time can move? |
18444 | Bold shall I stand in Thy great day, For who aught to my charge shall lay? |
18444 | But how could it be sung without a tune? |
18444 | But still earth''s witcheries my spirit darken; This passing life, these passing joys all flying, And still my soul in dreamy slumbers lying? |
18444 | But the major mode will replace the minor when tender voices on burial days sing-- Why do we mourn departed friends? |
18444 | Can I leave you Far in heathen lands to dwell? |
18444 | Can rolling oceans e''er prevent thee, Or gold the Christian''s spirit tame? |
18444 | Dadmun''s_ Melodian_( 1860) copied it, retaining, apparently, the original music, with an added refrain of invitation,"Will you go? |

18444 | Different parts,_ per fugam_, inquire from clef to clef-- And did He rise? |
18444 | Dr. Watts in this hymn gave experimental piety its hour and language of reflection and penitence: Is this the kind return? |
18444 | Earth''s pleasures shall I still hold dear? |
18444 | Eternal truth and mercy shine In Him, and He Himself is thine: And canst thou then, with sin beset, Such charms, such matchless charms forget? |
18444 | Friends, connections, happy country, Can I bid you all farewell? |
18444 | Has the night been long and mournful? |
18444 | Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved? |

18444 | Is there trouble anywhere? |
18444 | It was probably four hundred years before Bonaventura(?) |
18444 | It was very slow in coming, but the inevitable"how long?" |

18444 | O where is my boy tonight? |
18444 | O who will come, And share in the glory of the harvest home? |

18444 | Pope combined these two poems with the words of Divine inspiration,"O death, where is thy sting? |
18444 | Preachers to the diffident do not forget to quote-- Have you no words? |
18444 | SHALL I NOT HEAR?" |
18444 | See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e''er such love and sorrow meet; Or thorns compose so rich a crown? |
18444 | Shall life''s swift- passing years all fly, And still my soul in slumber lie? |
18444 | Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at Thy right hand? |
18444 | Sometimes it was-- Where now is the good Elijah? |

18444 | What though the flood of evil Rise stormily and dark? |

18444 | Who hath ripened the fruits into golden and red? |
18444 | Who would not see the happy land Where they that loved are blest? |
18444 | Why do we mourn departed friends, Or shake at death''s alarms? |
18444 | Why do you tarry, why linger so long? |
18444 | Will ye look for greener graves? |
18444 | William Cousin of the Free church of Scotland, was born in Melrose(? |

19134 | Are they more merciful, more compassionate, more sympathetic than average mankind? |
19134 | Besides, had I not my own work? |
19134 | But have we accepted it as the only authoritative rule of practice? |
19134 | But how could I attain to their faith? |
19134 | But what are the great things of life? |
19134 | But what if the teachers themselves have never found the true secret of Jesus? |
19134 | But who listens, who believes? |
19134 | But whose love is limitless? |
19134 | Can any human mind measure the various and almost infinite wrongs committed by the man who piles up through years of sordid avarice an unjust fortune? |
19134 | Can human life proceed along the lines He indicated? |
19134 | Could it be that there was that in me that made me, or could make me, of their company? |
19134 | Dare we question that a world governed wholly by the ideals of Jesus would be a far happier world than this we know? |
19134 | Do they not share the same social prejudices, and guide their lives by the same social traditions as the bulk of men and women? |
19134 | Do we find, as we survey this field, that force has ever proved the true dynamic of stable social government? |
19134 | Do we not commonly speak of love as being outworn by offense or neglect? |
19134 | Does it matter greatly what He taught? |
19134 | Exposed to their temptations, deprived of all the helpful friendships that have interposed between my life and ruin, should I have done as well? |

19134 | How are we to be convinced? |
19134 | How is it that such men are so unconscious of offense? |
19134 | How many times have I borne the society of inferior people with ungracious tolerance, and hastened from them with undisguised relief? |
19134 | How oft shall I forgive my brother? |
19134 | How then am I ever to find myself in any relation of affection towards these human creatures from whom I am alienated by the nature of my education? |
19134 | I go to meet my Lord in Galilee._ II WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY? |
19134 | In the compacts which we make with one another in the name of love, do we not specifically name certain offenses as unpardonable? |
19134 | Is it then not within the competence of man to interpret Christ aright, simply because the masculine temperament is what it is? |
19134 | Is not a Catherine a better guide to Jesus than a Dominic? |
19134 | Is not this in itself a justification of the spirit of Jesus? |
19134 | It is romantic justice, we say, but is it practicable justice? |
19134 | LOVE AND FORGIVENESS_ LOVE''S PROFIT__ What profits all the hate that we have known The bitter words, not all unmerited? |
19134 | Let us turn to Christ''s vision of the Judgment, as recorded by St. Matthew, and what do we find? |
19134 | May not the same be said of all the lives that fail, whether through ignorance or want, folly or crime? |
19134 | Men live for something; for what did Jesus live? |
19134 | Of what administration of law can we say that its chief object is not the punishment of the wrong- doer, but his reclamation? |
19134 | Or lucid dawns flowered out of sunsets red? |
19134 | Remembering this, can I be hard towards those who fell? |
19134 | Should I discern the Light and Life of men beneath His gray disguise of circumstance? |

19134 | THE PRACTICE OF LOVE_ FELLOW SUFFERERS__ When men of malice wrought the crown for Thee Didst Thou complain? |
19134 | That is, at all events, an intelligible defense, but is it a legitimate one? |
19134 | The art she knew was how to ease The sick man''s pain, the weak man''s wrong; And every night as she came home She said,"O Lord, when wilt Thou come? |

19134 | WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY? |
19134 | WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY? |
19134 | Was He a moral anarchist, whose teachings, if interpreted in laws, would destroy the basis of society? |
19134 | Was Jesus merely a romantic dreamer, with entirely romantic views of love and justice? |
19134 | Was Jesus right in these conclusions? |
19134 | Was it not just this, that each had beneath his masculine strength a feminine tenderness, a power of loving and of begetting love in others? |
19134 | Was not her vision after all the true one? |
19134 | We are bound therefore to ask, can that method of conduct be wrong which has won this triumphant issue? |
19134 | We have a church which claims to have extracted from the life of Jesus a whole code of laws for life and conduct; is not this enough?" |
19134 | What are his bad manners but the penalty of a narrow life? |
19134 | What is a Christian Church but a confraternity of such men and women? |
19134 | What is a Christian society, but a society permeated by this spirit, and bringing all the affairs of life to its test? |
19134 | What is his ignorance after all but lack of opportunity? |
19134 | What is it then in Paul and John and Peter, what element or quality, which we do not find in Pilate, Judas, or Napoleon? |
19134 | What is the exact nature of their impact upon society? |
19134 | Whence are these, and why are they arrayed in white robes? |
19134 | Where was the spectacle of a character composed of new qualities, a life wholly governed by novel impulses and principles? |
19134 | Which nature is radically the better, his or"this woman''s"? |
19134 | Which presents the more hopeful field to the moralist? |
19134 | Who are better fitted for the custody of the criminal than people whose lives are based on the merciful ideals of Jesus? |
19134 | Who can count the broken hearts in the pathway of that implacable ambition which"wades through slaughter to a throne"? |
19134 | Who forgives as this father forgave, with such completeness that he who has wrought the wrong is encouraged to forget that the wrong was ever wrought? |
19134 | Why am I not as these? |
19134 | Why could I not be content to fulfill the common standard approved by the average conception of Christianity? |
19134 | Why should I do what no one expected me to do? |
19134 | Why should not the Church replace the jail? |
19134 | Why was it that I was only sympathizer and spectator, never comrade? |
19134 | With all these forces against us how can we love our neighbour as ourselves? |
19134 | With their life to live, had I done better? |
19134 | Would not a fatal lenience towards vice become the temper of society? |
19134 | Would we be content to leave the administration of society in the hands of Jesus? |
19134 | Would we confidently submit our own case to His jurisdiction? |
19134 | Yet who would venture to challenge the conduct of Jesus in these respects? |

10022 | Are n''t you afraid to go among these wicked men? 10022 Are you willing?" |
10022 | But Mary,said the superintendent,"you are doing a fine job here in the church; why do you want to go to the mission?" |
10022 | But suppose the Board will not let me go into the jungle, would n''t you be willing to come back to Duke Town with me? |
10022 | But think, Chief, how you would feel if you were captured and taken away from your people? 10022 But what shall I do with my many black children? |
10022 | But where shall I work now? |
10022 | But who will take care of the work at Akpap? |
10022 | But why did you seek me? 10022 But why do they do such cruel, wicked things to harmless babies?" |
10022 | But why do you want to talk to me? |
10022 | But why is your heart sad? |
10022 | But why keep them? |
10022 | Can I leave my home? 10022 Can we come?" |
10022 | Chief Njiri,said Mary,"why have you taken this young man? |
10022 | Chief,they cried,"you are not going to cut that tree, are you? |
10022 | Did the brother get up from the grave? |
10022 | Did the whole village hurt you? 10022 Did you need your guns and swords?" |
10022 | Do n''t they have any missionaries out there, Mother? |
10022 | Do n''t you know that Calabar is the white man''s grave? |
10022 | Do you know what this country is like? |
10022 | Do you think I am so foolish, Ma? 10022 Do you think you can change them? |
10022 | Do you trust those wild people? |
10022 | Ekpo,said Mary,"why are n''t you on your way to God''s house? |
10022 | Have n''t any missionaries been there? |
10022 | How can I do it? 10022 How was your trip? |
10022 | Howsh my, besht gurl? 10022 If no one can hurt you, why do n''t you set this young man free?" |
10022 | If your heart were sad, would you go any place? |
10022 | Is anyone here? |
10022 | Is n''t it much more dangerous there? |
10022 | Is the juju still there? |
10022 | Is this the way you welcome lady visitors? |
10022 | King Eyo Honesty? 10022 Ma, how can I stop these women''s mouths?" |
10022 | Ma, when are you going to come and stay a long time with us? |
10022 | Oh, Chief Edem,said Mary,"how could you do this? |
10022 | Oh, why can not the church send two workers to Ikpe? |
10022 | Shall I keep on working on upper Enyong creek or shall I go south to the Ibibios? 10022 Shall I really be there and worship in the churches again? |
10022 | Tell me, Mary, have you gone into that country at all? |
10022 | They''re bad people, are n''t they, Mother? |
10022 | Well, Mary dear, what are you doing? |
10022 | What are you going to do now? |
10022 | What do they do to twins? |
10022 | What do you think of our work here? |
10022 | What do you want to do when you go back? |
10022 | What happened when they cut off the head of your chicken? |
10022 | What have you come for? |
10022 | What is that? |
10022 | What is the matter? |
10022 | What is this? |
10022 | What is wrong? |
10022 | What kind of sickness does your chief have? |
10022 | What tribes live in this dark and mysterious country? |
10022 | What will I do then? |
10022 | What will happen if the Okoyongs are on the warpath? |
10022 | What''s that? |
10022 | What''s the idea of ringing the bell now? |
10022 | When can I find time? |
10022 | Where is the mission house? |
10022 | Where is this country where you want to work? |
10022 | Where is your chief? |
10022 | Where should I go now? |
10022 | Where''sh the shteps? 10022 Who are they? |
10022 | Who is that chief? |
10022 | Who wants shupper? |
10022 | Why did they do this to you, Ipke? |
10022 | Why do n''t I become a missionary? |
10022 | Why do n''t they use the money on hand for that? 10022 Why do you want to fight and kill because one drunken man wounded your young chief?" |
10022 | Why have you done this? |
10022 | Why, Mary,said Miss Wright,"what are you doing here? |
10022 | Will Bwana Ovens make a fine box for my son? |
10022 | Will you not have me honor my son? 10022 Wo n''t you go and bury the rest of the dead?" |
10022 | Would a man go among strangers without arms? |
10022 | Yes, do n''t you think they have a great need for the Gospel? |
10022 | You do not believe in the witch doctors, do you? |
10022 | You say their religion furnishes them with slaves? 10022 You''ve been there before, have n''t you?" |
10022 | # 4#_ On Her Own_"Mary, how would you like to have a mission station of your own?" |
10022 | And if her mother agreed, would her church send her out to that field? |
10022 | At last she found one of the natives and asked,"Where is the government boat? |
10022 | But what would her mother say? |
10022 | But where shall we go?" |
10022 | But where were the people? |
10022 | But who will tell these people about Jesus? |
10022 | But will I be brave enough? |
10022 | Did God want Mary to work at Ikpe? |
10022 | Did Mary still remember she wanted to be a missionary in Calabar? |
10022 | Did the whole village shoot the young man? |
10022 | Did you enjoy your visit at Duke Town?" |
10022 | Does Mother still need my help? |
10022 | Had they accepted her offer or refused it? |
10022 | He bowed and said,"Are you the new white ma that is coming to the mission?" |
10022 | He said to me,''How do you know it is not the God of the white man who is angry with you? |
10022 | How is that possible?" |
10022 | I said,''How can I find this God?'' |
10022 | If you do not care for us, who will care for us?" |
10022 | Is it late?" |
10022 | May I go?" |
10022 | Now if I let these others go will you build me a box Bwana Ovens?" |
10022 | Or would someone else preach the Gospel there? |
10022 | Shall we build the church today?" |
10022 | Was there to be no missionary from the Slessor family? |
10022 | What if they should go on the warpath when you arrive?" |
10022 | What kind of a funeral will that be for a chief''s son if no one is killed? |
10022 | What new adventures awaited them in Africa? |
10022 | What should Mary do now? |
10022 | What should Mary do now? |
10022 | What should she do? |
10022 | When he finished his talk, he said,"Mary, wo n''t you speak to these people?" |
10022 | When they were alone, Father Slessor hung his head and said,"Oh, my dear, what can I say? |
10022 | When will you be satisfied that your son''s death was an accident?" |
10022 | Who will take care of these people who are as dear to God as you or I? |
10022 | Why did you want me to come to you?" |
10022 | Why do you not trust in Jesus?" |
10022 | Why rush away to those people way off in Africa? |
10022 | Will you go back on your word and make me a liar?" |
10022 | Will you promise me that you will not fight while I am gone? |
10022 | Will you show mercy and kindness to the people of the village and free this young man?" |
10022 | Wo n''t you come to the services and hear about Him?" |
10022 | Wo n''t you come with me?" |
10022 | Wo n''t you please honor us by coming into our house?" |
10022 | Wo n''t you tell me about Africa?" |
10022 | Would it be work in the jungles? |
10022 | Would it be work she wanted to do? |
10022 | Would it give her permission to go to cannibal land or would it tell her to come home and take her furlough in the usual way? |
10022 | Would it not be well to move away to some other town where you can find new friends who will not drink and who will not tempt you to drink?" |
10022 | Would she ever get a chance to be a missionary or must she give up that dream? |
10022 | Would the work in Okoyong be a failure or a success? |
10022 | You who have so much, wo n''t you do something for these poor people of Africa?" |
10022 | Your son was a Christian, was n''t he?" |
37501 | And the time? |
37501 | How could you keep your temper through all the vexatious dispute of to- night''s debate? |
37501 | How did he know? |
37501 | What must I do? 37501 What shall I put it to?" |
37501 | What would be the effect,said I,"on you, if I were to appear at the moment the storm was about to burst? |
37501 | Why did we not know? |
37501 | Why not pray openly and unitedly-- and believe? |
37501 | Why not trust God? |
37501 | ( 1) It is said God knows already; why tell Him? |
37501 | ( 2) It is said God fore- sees; why try to influence what He knows is sure to be? |
37501 | A friend not far from one of my places of business sent for me, and when I called, he said,"How are you getting on at Cessnock?" |
37501 | After all, is Christianity true? |
37501 | But do you ask for the evidences, and do you propose to begin to pray if the facts are convincing, and to refuse the practice if they are not? |
37501 | But what is prayer? |
37501 | Can the head be anointed with God''s kingly oil which has not been bowed down in the darkness? |
37501 | Did miracles happen?" |
37501 | Do you know what it will cost?" |
37501 | Do you know what"Sabbath Reading"is? |
37501 | Does God not lead souls through darkness into light? |
37501 | For what is the answer to prayer which the praying heart looks for? |
37501 | Has every prayer power with God? |
37501 | I said"Janet"--Janet Stewart was her name--"are you not giving me too much?" |
37501 | If the hairs of our head are all numbered, why not also the shoes of our feet?" |
37501 | Is not the Valley of the Shadow the precursor of the table of love which God spreads? |
37501 | My grace is sufficient for thee"? |
37501 | Paul?" |
37501 | Quarrier?" |
37501 | The certainties of the opening months or years of the Christian pilgrimage had given place to torturing questions, such as,"Am I not deceived? |
37501 | We pray that the divine love would spare them dark days; and yet, are the prayers well prayed? |
37501 | What are its real contents? |
37501 | What is inspiration? |
37501 | What shall be said of the faithful man who, through his own effort, maintained a small but efficient orphanage? |
37501 | When I hear requests for prayer for the conversion of a son or daughter, I say to myself, How much is that parent doing to win that child for Christ? |
37501 | and why not? |
42331 | [ 19]--Turn ye, turn ye, then at his reproof, for why will ye die?" |
42331 | And can the Christian refuse the command of Him who has done, and continues to do, such great things for him? |
42331 | And now, brethren, have I made the duty enjoined in the text plain to you? |
42331 | And who, on the other hand, can describe the horrors of a turbulent and disordered state of society? |
42331 | Are there then any here, who are dissatisfied with the government they live under? |
42331 | Are we then to offer no resistance to them? |
42331 | Can your hands be strong, or your hearts endure in the day when he shall deal with you? |
42331 | Did they offer any resistance"to the king as supreme?" |
42331 | Is their character and conduct to make no difference in the submission due to them? |
42331 | Must not the love he bears his Saviour constrain him to comply with his precepts? |
42331 | Well, therefore, may it be said to us,"Submit yourselves,"& c. But it may perhaps be asked,_ what is it to submit rightly_ to every ordinance of man? |
42331 | Who can estimate the present blessing of a quiet and well ordered government? |
42331 | have I shown you in a scriptural manner its nature and extent, and the motive which is to actuate the Christian in the discharge of it? |
29451 | For everyone shall be salted with fire,says Scripture; and can anything whatever be well forged or made without it be first melted and cleaned? |
29451 | *** What is our part and what is our righteousness in all this Process of the Saviour? |
29451 | *** What is paradise, what is heaven? |
29451 | 13._ By what means shall the ordinary man and woman, living the usual everyday life, whether of work or of leisure, find God? |
29451 | A negligent, thieving, lying servant that we have to deal with calls forth forgiveness, and humility also, for are we a perfect servant to our Lord? |
29451 | Again and again we may cry out,"But how love the invisible?" |
29451 | And does He dare set Himself no difficult thing that He may overcome it? |
29451 | And in all this pain of transition, what is the Divine Anaesthetic that He gives us? |
29451 | And we? |
29451 | And when the Garden closes down for us, what then? |
29451 | Are any of these persons truly happy, truly satisfied in all their being? |
29451 | Are these the ninety- and- nine just persons needing no repentance? |
29451 | Are we then to suppose that God asks the impossible of His own creatures, that He mocks us? |
29451 | But evil-- whence and why, since God is Love, Omnipotence, and Holiness? |
29451 | But have they? |
29451 | But holy love-- who can commence to describe it? |
29451 | But how commence this formidable, this seemingly impossible task of finding God in a world in which He is totally invisible? |
29451 | But how uncover a further consciousness? |
29451 | But reason demands,"How is it possible that the soul should leave the body and the body not die? |
29451 | Can any man devise a new sin? |
29451 | Can any man free himself in such a manner from his own nature? |
29451 | Does a man acquire great worldly wealth, or fame, in return for two moments of endeavour? |
29451 | Give your heart to God,_ set it upon Him._ What is keeping you back? |
29451 | Has the wind eyes or feet? |
29451 | Having once re- found God, the soul frequently cries to Him in an anguish of pained wonder,"How could I ever have left Thee? |
29451 | Having submitted to all that Christ esteems necessary for our regeneration, what does He set us to? |
29451 | How and why can this be? |
29451 | How are we to understand this but by assuming that if we try our strength against Evil, Evil is likely to overcome us? |
29451 | How could I ever have been faithless to Thine Unutterable Perfections?" |
29451 | How do we come by this joy of the personal loving of God, this Romance of the Soul brought to sensible fruition whilst still in the flesh? |
29451 | How is God- consciousness to be achieved-- shall we do it by study, by reading? |
29451 | How many of us stop in the rush of our daily amusements, interests, and work to sympathise with Christ? |
29451 | How shall I commence to love a Being whom I have never seen? |
29451 | How shall ordinary mortals whilst still in the flesh re- enter Eden even for an hour? |
29451 | How then shall the reason stand naked before God without madness or frenzy? |
29451 | If the natural man were asked,"What is life? |
29451 | In what way have we perhaps been approaching it? |
29451 | Incessant work is the lot of the awakened and returning soul, and justly so, for because of what folly and ingratitude did she ever leave God? |
29451 | Is Evil then an enemy? |
29451 | Is it a gift because of some merit of goodness on our part beyond the goodness of other persons who are without it, though striving? |
29451 | Is it a gift? |
29451 | Is it a sagacity or cleverness, a height of learning, a result of close study? |
29451 | Is it because of some work for God that we do in this world, charitable or social? |
29451 | Is it this distraction which prevents perception-- for in all communion with God the mind is closed down, the heart and soul only being in operation? |
29451 | Is it, then, nothing but an arbitrary favouritism on His part? |
29451 | Is the condition of blessed nearness to God permanent? |
29451 | Is this loss or gain? |
29451 | It is the Responsive God that we long for, and how shall we reach Him? |
29451 | Ten years, twenty, thirty-- what are such in comparison with the blisses that shall afterwards be ours for all eternity? |
29451 | Then what is our own position? |
29451 | There is one test more sure than any other, which is to ask oneself,"Would Jesus have done just this?" |
29451 | Was it because of some imperfection left in her of design by God in order that He might enjoy His power to bring her back to Him? |
29451 | Was it from this I started on my wanderings from God? |
29451 | Was this selection of His favouritism? |
29451 | We all consider ourselves Christians as a matter of course; but why this certainty, what reason can we give? |
29451 | We see it as disease, misery, imprisonment, and death; and who finds it difficult to turn away from such? |
29451 | What are these blisses of God? |
29451 | What are these joys of God? |
29451 | What does it mean to"set the heart"upon something? |
29451 | What is Nature but the demonstration in visible objects of an invisible Will? |
29451 | What is it in our religion that we need for a full happiness? |
29451 | What is our reward whilst still in this world for our patient obediences and renunciations? |
29451 | What is the true aim of spiritual endeavour-- an attempt at personal and individual salvation? |
29451 | What is then necessary? |
29451 | What madness in us is it that can count as an added cross or burden any means by which we reach such perfection of bliss for ever? |
29451 | What then is needed, since death will not help us? |
29451 | What were our Lord''s words? |
29451 | What will these perhaps too much dreaded tests be that He will put us through? |
29451 | Who can describe the marvels, the variations, the mystery of Grace? |
29451 | Why is this?" |
29451 | Why, then, is not every man given this knowledge? |
29451 | Will chiffon help us? |
29451 | Will the smiles of a long- since faithless lover be our strength? |
29451 | is it the Ceremonial causing the mind to be too much alert to guide the body now to rise, now to kneel, now to move in some direction? |
29451 | what is it to live?" |
39622 | Are Catholics willing to do that? |
39622 | Are there two kinds of Catholics? |
39622 | But what will happen to the lamb? |
39622 | But will she do it? |
39622 | Could not, therefore, Napoleon come to Rome to be crowned in St. Peter''s cathedral? |
39622 | Did he mean Rome, by"a foreign power?" |
39622 | Did these statesmen speak the truth? |
39622 | How can such a state make laws for Christians? |
39622 | How did the clergy receive him? |
39622 | How was the president going to persuade the French to make war upon a sister republic? |
39622 | If the church submits to the state, it ceases to be divine, for how can a divine institution be subject to a man- made state? |
39622 | Is the Church of Rome divided? |
39622 | Is there any reason why they should hesitate to sacrifice America, if need be, to the"Glory of God,"if they did not hesitate to sacrifice France? |
39622 | No? |
39622 | We ask once more, are Catholics willing to do that? |
39622 | Were they not sincere when they published in the papers that there were not in all France more loyal republicans than the Catholics? |
39622 | What can a country do without the church? |
39622 | What can the church do for a people? |
39622 | What did they say to this betrayer of the nation, this traitor, who had violated his solemn oath? |
39622 | What made Louis Napoleon a favorite with the church? |
39622 | What today is the difference between Austria, for instance, and America? |
39622 | When we have God for a teacher, or his vicar on earth to rule us, what would liberty be good for? |
39622 | Why may a cardinal stand up for his church, and not I for the secular state? |
39622 | Why? |
39622 | Why? |
39622 | Yes? |
39622 | Yet if she had the power to make an Austria out of America would she hesitate to do it? |
39622 | _ Question:_ Are there not special reasons why we are most profoundly indebted to Napoleon the First, our emperor? |
39622 | _ Question:_ What shall be thought of those who fail in their respect to our emperor? |
45564 | How long wilt thou forget me, Lord? |
45564 | Is it not HOPE, the sister grace, that abideth? |
45564 | What grace is this, thus added to faith and love? |
20312 | Am I in my misery alone in the universe? |
20312 | And can we not trust Him? |
20312 | And did you ever find those thoughts, that slavish terror of God''s wrath, that dread of hell make you better men? |
20312 | And do we not find that our Lord''s words are true? |
20312 | And if the heart answers impatiently,"My good? |
20312 | And is not the answer the most essential of all answers? |
20312 | And shall we not be reunited in heaven by that still deeper tie? |
20312 | And what better? |
20312 | And what if earthly love seems so delicious that all change in it would seem a change for the worse, shall we repine? |
20312 | And what shall we pray? |
20312 | And when the Lord has drawn a man thus far, does He stop? |
20312 | And why not thee, too, thou poor deserted one? |
20312 | Are they the anxious people? |
20312 | As for the sins of youth, what says the 130th Psalm? |
20312 | Ask no more of Him,"Why hast thou made me thus?" |
20312 | Ask no more,"Whence pain and death, war and famine, earthquake and tempest, and all the ills to which flesh is heir?" |
20312 | Ask no more,"Why do the wicked prosper on the earth?" |
20312 | Blessed are the forsaken and despised; did not all men forsake Jesus in His hour of need? |
20312 | But faith can breed patience, though patience can not breed itself; and faith in whom? |
20312 | But from whom do they come? |
20312 | But what is their rest? |
20312 | But what kind of comfort do we not merely like, but need? |
20312 | But where are we to get patience? |
20312 | But who has done it? |
20312 | But why? |
20312 | Did you ever have such thoughts? |
20312 | Do I thus seem to undervalue earthly bliss? |
20312 | Does God care for my trouble? |
20312 | Does God feel for my trouble? |
20312 | Does God know what trouble means? |
20312 | Does God understand my trouble? |
20312 | Does not God hate and despise me? |
20312 | Dost thou long to right them, to deliver them, even at the price of thine own blood? |
20312 | Dost thou suffer? |
20312 | Dost thou sympathise with thy fellow- sufferers? |
20312 | Even no judge? |
20312 | For then in our misery and confusion we look up to heaven and ask, Is there any One in heaven who understands all this? |
20312 | For what matter how bitter the medicine is if it does but save our lives? |
20312 | God leads us; though blind, shall we be afraid to follow? |
20312 | God''s way of preventing the cup of bliss being over sweet? |
20312 | Has God forgotten to give light to suffering souls, because we can not see our way for a few short days of perplexity? |
20312 | Has every utterance that has ever gone up from suffering and doubting humanity gone up in vain? |
20312 | Has it not been fulfilled in them-- As thy day so shall thy strength be? |
20312 | Hath He promised, and shall He not do it? |
20312 | Have I any pleasure in the death of him that dieth saith the Lord, and not rather that he should be converted and live?" |
20312 | Have I any pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord, and not rather that he should turn from his wickedness and live?" |
20312 | Have they not been God''s sending? |
20312 | Have we not had in all things with the temptation a way to escape? |
20312 | Have you ever had such thoughts? |
20312 | He knows-- What does He not know? |
20312 | How can I escape from Him? |
20312 | How can I make Him change His mind? |
20312 | How can I soothe and appease Him? |
20312 | How can we prosper by doing anything else? |
20312 | How shall the bottomless pit, if we fall into it, be a pathway to the everlasting rock? |
20312 | How should I be able to get through such and such a trouble? |
20312 | How then can I turn away His hate? |
20312 | How then shall we escape the terror and misery of an evil conscience, and rise out of our sins? |
20312 | I say: Is there a being who can ever hear our prayers? |
20312 | If Thou, Lord, were extreme to mark what is done amiss, who could abide it? |
20312 | If we say simply,"I am wretched, I ought to be wretched;"then we shall perhaps hear a voice,"Who made thee wretched but God? |
20312 | If you can go to God Himself, why go to any of God''s creatures, however holy, pure, and loving? |
20312 | If you can go to the pure fountain- head, why drink of the stream, which must have gathered something of defilement as it flows? |
20312 | If, in spite of wars, and fevers, and accidents, and the strokes of chance, this world be green and fair, what must the coming world be like? |
20312 | Is God''s love changed because we can not feel it in our trouble? |
20312 | Is it not good news that_ that_ fire is unquenchable, that_ that_ worm will not die? |
20312 | Is my misery without any meaning and without hope? |
20312 | Is not marriage the mere approximation to a unity that shall be perfect in heaven? |
20312 | Is not that one thought that our beloved ones sleep in Christ Jesus enough? |
20312 | Is not that the most blessed news, that He who takes away, is the very same as He who gives? |
20312 | Is not that the question of all questions? |
20312 | Is prayer a superfluous folly, or the highest prudence? |
20312 | Is the experience of men, heathen as well as Christian, for all these ages to go for nought? |
20312 | Is the sun''s light perished out of the sky because the world is black with cloud and mist? |
20312 | Is the sun''s warmth perished out of the sky because the storm is cold with hail and bitter winds? |
20312 | Mere impertinences, the babblings of fair dreams, poured forth into no where, to no thing, and in vain? |
20312 | Merely to be comfortable? |
20312 | My belief is that God will punish( has He not punished already somewhat?) |
20312 | No God, even though He be a consuming fire? |
20312 | No One higher than man who cares for my soul, and for the souls of those who are dearer to me than my own soul? |
20312 | No counsellor? |
20312 | No deliverer? |
20312 | No friend? |
20312 | No helper? |
20312 | No punisher? |
20312 | Or must I fight the battle of life alone, without sympathy or help from God, who made me and has put me here? |
20312 | Our Father has given us the cup-- shall we not drink it? |
20312 | Shall I be a man there, or only a ghost, a spirit without a body? |
20312 | Shall I be able to enjoy it? |
20312 | Shall the disciple be above his Master? |
20312 | Surely if on earth Christ the Lord has loved-- some more than others;--why should not we do the same in heaven, and yet love all? |
20312 | That He who afflicts is the very same as He who comforts? |
20312 | That worst of all temptations, of which David only tasted a drop, when he cried out,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
20312 | The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? |
20312 | The deeper, the bitterer your loneliness, the more you are like Him who cried upon the cross,"My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" |
20312 | Then I can plead with God, even though in wild words like Job; and ask, What is the meaning of this sorrow? |
20312 | Then what can He mean but thy good?" |
20312 | Those who imagine to themselves possible misfortunes, and ask continually, What if this happened, or if that? |
20312 | Though all forsake thee, He is with thee still, and if He be with thee, what matter who has left thee for a while? |
20312 | To be free from fear, anxiety, sorrow? |
20312 | We have received good from Thy hand, and shall we not receive evil? |
20312 | What does it all mean? |
20312 | What does the promise of your Baptism say? |
20312 | What have I done? |
20312 | What if evil still endure? |
20312 | What if the end be not yet? |
20312 | What if the medicine have not yet conquered the disease? |
20312 | What is heaven like? |
20312 | What matter? |
20312 | What more miraculous in the doctrines of regeneration and renewal than in the mere fact of creation? |
20312 | What more rational belief? |
20312 | What shall I do to escape Him?" |
20312 | What shall I do? |
20312 | What should I do? |
20312 | What was Christ''s life? |
20312 | What will become of us after we die? |
20312 | What will the next world be like? |
20312 | When the human heart asks, Have we not only a God in Heaven, but a Father in Heaven? |
20312 | Where is that comforter? |
20312 | Wherefore should the wicked say-- Where is now his God?" |
20312 | Who are the people who get through most work in their lives, with the least wear and tear? |
20312 | Who is Lord of joy and sorrow? |
20312 | Who is Lord of life and death? |
20312 | Why did he die, we ask? |
20312 | Why did he die? |
20312 | Why not try them? |
20312 | Why should I change? |
20312 | Will He not hurl me into endless torment when I die? |
20312 | Will He not take from me all I love best? |
20312 | Would the mother who has groaned and travailed and brought forth children-- would she give up those children for the sake of not having had that pain? |
20312 | and consider, have they not been blessed lessons? |
20312 | and if there be, what is He doing with me?" |
18248 | After_ me_? |
18248 | An''it was Him told you to give me the frock too, was n''t it? 18248 And do you carry it all up from the river?" |
18248 | And do you remember, Lucy,asked Stella,"how hateful I was about poor Nelly, when we discovered her here? |
18248 | And how does it come? 18248 And where is Lucy?" |
18248 | And where is her father? |
18248 | And why did you never come to see me, Nelly? 18248 And you did not know Oakvale was my home?" |
18248 | And you''re going to sleep with me and be my little sister, are you not? |
18248 | And, mother,asked Bessie, somewhat doubtfully,"may I go to- morrow and get the things to work a book- mark for Miss Preston? |
18248 | Any one to meet you? |
18248 | Are they in there? |
18248 | Are you hurt, Cousin Lucy? |
18248 | But perhaps you could tell us what place she went to from you? |
18248 | But what should you or I have done if we had n''t been made to learn, whether we liked it or not? |
18248 | But why did n''t you leave word where you were living, and I would have found you out? |
18248 | But why do you cry so, Lucy? |
18248 | But why? 18248 But would she be good to Nelly?" |
18248 | But, Miss Lucy,said Nelly, as she was going away,"where is it I''m going to live now?" |
18248 | Come, Stella, what was the text? |
18248 | Did you call her after me before I came? |
18248 | Do n''t you think, Stella, I might go to church this evening? 18248 Do you mean to say you really want to go?" |
18248 | Does He love me? |
18248 | Fred''s gone to college again, I suppose? |
18248 | Has she? |
18248 | How do you know? |
18248 | How old are you? |
18248 | How_ can_ she go on so,she thought,"after what Miss Preston has been saying?" |
18248 | I should be glad to do anything I could,said Lucy;"but what would be best to try?" |
18248 | I want him to call it Blanche-- such a pretty name, is n''t it, Lucy? |
18248 | Is n''t she, for all the world, just like a picture? |
18248 | Is she not here, then? 18248 Left all well at home?" |
18248 | Lucy, ca n''t you come away and let her alone? |
18248 | Lucy,said Stella, coming up to her during the afternoon,"do you see that ridiculous imitation of my dress that Nancy Parker has on? |
18248 | Might I give it to Nelly Connor, mother? 18248 Miss Lucy,"she said in a trembling undertone, seizing Lucy''s dress in her eagerness,"wo n''t you please ask him his name?" |
18248 | Mother,said Bessie, after she had duly announced the intended picnic,"ca n''t I have a new pink sash for my white frock? |
18248 | Nelly, would you like to learn to read? |
18248 | Oh, I forgot; I suppose you''re all broken up there now? |
18248 | Oh, Stella, how can you go on so? |
18248 | Shall I go there when I die, Lucy? |
18248 | Shall I help you to unpack, Lucy? |
18248 | So you''re my little cousin Amy? |
18248 | So, Bessie, you''re going to lose your teacher? |
18248 | That''s a quotation from one of Uncle Raymond''s sermons, is n''t it? |
18248 | Then why do n''t you go to bed sooner at night, my dear, if you want more sleep? |
18248 | Was anybody speaking to you? |
18248 | Well, as you ca n''t be able to do it without learning, do n''t you think you''d better try? |
18248 | Well, why should Jesus have died for you if you had not? 18248 What can have brought_ her_ here? |
18248 | What have you got there? |
18248 | What place is that? |
18248 | What would you do with my old hat, mother,she said,"if I get a new one?" |
18248 | Where? |
18248 | Why ca n''t I go to Sunday school, then? |
18248 | Why do n''t you get up a select one, then, attended only by young ladies of the best families? |
18248 | Why should you not, dear Amy, when Jesus died that you might? |
18248 | Why, is your mother going away? |
18248 | Why, would n''t you like to be able to read that nice hymn Miss Preston gave you, for yourself? |
18248 | Wo n''t Jesus forgive you, and make you good? |
18248 | Wo n''t you look at my doll, Cousin Lucy? |
18248 | You are cousin Edwin, I suppose? |
18248 | Above all, has there been earnest, persevering prayer to the Lord of the harvest, in dependence on whom alone the joyful reaping time can be expected? |
18248 | And had not Miss Lucy explained to her that that meant taking anything, even the least, that was not her own? |
18248 | And how would_ you_ have turned out from such a bringing- up, Mademoiselle Stella?" |
18248 | And what of the others? |
18248 | Bessie, are you too tired to read a chapter as soon as the boys come in? |
18248 | But do you think the child herself will be willing to come?" |
18248 | Can you say, from your own heart and experience, that you believe all that is true about Christ giving such peace and comfort in trouble?" |
18248 | Did she stay long after we left, Alick?" |
18248 | Do you sing?" |
18248 | Do you think you''ll mind having her?" |
18248 | Does it read it every night?" |
18248 | For why should we consider anything too small to seek His aid, by whom the hairs of our head are all numbered? |
18248 | Had not that been her own experience? |
18248 | Had not the very smoothness and prosperity of her life, and her self- complacency in her own good management, been a snare to her? |
18248 | Had she not been learning,"Thou shalt not steal?" |
18248 | Had she not been told to"look to Jesus"when unhappy or naughty, and He would deliver her? |
18248 | Had she not forgotten that already? |
18248 | Had she not, in yielding to her peculiar temptation, allowed herself to become as worldly as those whom in her heart she had been condemning? |
18248 | Has a Christian example given force to the precepts inculcated? |
18248 | Has the_ heart_ been in the work? |
18248 | Have thought and earnestness entered into the weekly instruction? |
18248 | How had the desire been carried out? |
18248 | How is Stella?" |
18248 | I suppose Stella posted you up about us all? |
18248 | It seemed so strange that no one should be there to meet her, as her uncle had promised; and if no one should appear, what was she to do? |
18248 | It sounds odd, does n''t it? |
18248 | It was with a beating heart that she put the question,"Is Miss Lucy Raymond at home?" |
18248 | No wonder the poor child was watching us while we were at tea; did n''t you see how hungry she was?" |
18248 | Oh, what will she do?" |
18248 | Presently he came up to Lucy, and, after a scrutinizing glance, he said, touching his hat:"My cousin Lucy Raymond, I presume?" |
18248 | She drew her closer, and after talking a little about the doll, she said:"Does Amy love the good, kind Saviour, who came to die for her?" |
18248 | Suddenly Amy said,"Lucy, do you expect to go to heaven when you die, for sure?" |
18248 | Suppose I try and bring the old lady round with a little judicious flattery?" |
18248 | Then conscience said,"Would it be right?" |
18248 | Through a medium so unyielding, how could the soft dew of holy, spiritual influence descend upon the heart, to nourish and fertilize it? |
18248 | V._ Strawberrying._"Why should we fear youth''s draught of joy, If pure, would sparkle less? |
18248 | Was it wrong to come away?" |
18248 | Well, do n''t you love Him, Amy? |
18248 | What are you going to see her for?" |
18248 | What can she turn out, brought up under such a termagant? |
18248 | What could I do, Miss Lucy, to help him?" |
18248 | What pleasure can you find in it? |
18248 | What was the cause of all the broken hearts and blighted lives from which is continually ascending such a wailing symphony of sorrow without hope? |
18248 | What would Alick say to that?" |
18248 | What would your uncle say?" |
18248 | Where did you get it?" |
18248 | Where is she gone?" |
18248 | Where, indeed, is the earnest teacher, however faithful, who can lay down the self- imposed task without some such feelings? |
18248 | Who''s got the most strawberries? |
18248 | Why should the cup the sooner cloy Which God has deigned to bless?" |
18248 | Why, do n''t you know your own mind? |
18248 | Will they not have to give an account for these things? |
18248 | Will you help me to make it up, Stella?" |
18248 | Would Nelly come and be his daughter, and take poor Teresa''s forsaken tambourine? |
18248 | Would you like that?" |
18248 | You ca n''t read yet, I suppose?" |
18248 | You love Him, I hope, Nelly, and pray to Him always?" |
18248 | You''re going, are n''t you?" |
18248 | You''ve never been in a place as big as this, have you?" |
18248 | _ A Start in Life._"His path in life was lowly, He was a working man; Who knows the poor man''s trials So well as Jesus can?" |
18248 | _ Lucy''s Home._"Is the heart a living power? |
18248 | _ New Experiences._"I need Thy presence every passing hour; Who but Thyself can foil the tempter''s power? |
18248 | and seeing he was right, he added, with a nonchalant air,"Glad to see you; been waiting long?" |
18248 | are you going out when it is so very wet?" |
18248 | how can you be so suspicious?" |
18248 | how do you get it?" |
18248 | interposed her loquacious cousin,"or would you rather lie down and rest awhile?" |
18248 | she asked wonderingly; and as her cousin shook her head, she asked in a lower tone,"Were you naughty, Cousin Lucy?" |
18248 | she would say,"for she ca n''t hear him, nor save him, can she? |
18248 | that girl we saw in the wood? |
16739 | Seekest thou great things for thyself? |
16739 | Were you at such a place on such a night? |
16739 | Where? |
16739 | Why should I not be here? |
16739 | A common Friendship-- who talks of a_ common_ Friendship? |
16739 | And how did He meet their doubts? |
16739 | And what is the object of connecting man with God? |
16739 | And what was the"burden"? |
16739 | And where is Christ? |
16739 | And who are Christ''s? |
16739 | And why is it greater than charity? |
16739 | And yet have we got them? |
16739 | Are there any arithmetic words in this text? |
16739 | But are we right? |
16739 | But how can we mirror that which we have never seen? |
16739 | But plainly, explicitly, in so many words? |
16739 | By and by the robber captain came and he said:"Boy, what have you got?" |
16739 | Can you tell me anything that is going to last? |
16739 | Character is to wear forever; who will wonder or grudge that it can not be developed in a day? |
16739 | Christ held up this method almost to ridicule when He said,"Which of you by taking thought can add a cubit to his stature?" |
16739 | Did He stop? |
16739 | Did you ever notice how continually John associates love and faith with eternal life? |
16739 | Did you ever stop to ask what a yoke is really for? |
16739 | Did you ever think what he meant by that? |
16739 | Did you ever think why Christ spoke that parable? |
16739 | Do we carry about with us the thought of God wherever we go? |
16739 | Do we have a conviction of God''s abiding presence wherever we are? |
16739 | Do we realize, for instance, that the way of teaching humility is generally by_ humiliation_? |
16739 | Do you know anything better than these three things, anything happier, purer, nobler? |
16739 | Do you sometimes feel yourself thinking unkind things about your fellow- students who have intellectual difficulty? |
16739 | Do you think that if we had gathered together and pushed against the mast we could have pushed it on? |
16739 | Does it not show how entirely new Christ''s teaching still is to the world, that so old and threadbare an aphorism should still be so little known? |
16739 | Every one has asked himself the great question of antiquity as of the modern world: What is the_ summum bonum_--the supreme good? |
16739 | For how, in a literal sense, can Rest be_ given_? |
16739 | For what is their office? |
16739 | Have you done it? |
16739 | Have you ever noticed how much of Christ''s life was spent in doing kind things-- in_ merely_ doing kind things? |
16739 | Have you obeyed this command? |
16739 | He asks,"When?" |
16739 | He looked the boy in the face and said:"Why did you tell me that? |
16739 | How can modern men to- day make Christ, the absent Christ, their most constant companion still? |
16739 | How could it be reflected from there if it were not there? |
16739 | How do I know Shakspere or Dante? |
16739 | How many of you will join me in reading this chapter once a week for the next three months? |
16739 | How many, especially among the young, has this one mistaken phrase driven forever away from the kingdom of God? |
16739 | How then are we to have this transcendent living whole conveyed into our souls? |
16739 | How? |
16739 | I pass, therefore, to the second head; What was it? |
16739 | I wonder why it is that we are not all kinder than we are? |
16739 | If He lives and acts what is He doing? |
16739 | If it were this, how could Paul ask men to reflect it? |
16739 | If not, where is He? |
16739 | If they lose, will you not be sorry that you did not help them? |
16739 | Is God dead? |
16739 | Is corn to grow by method, and character by caprice? |
16739 | Is it because there is some one who loves you, and whom you want to see to- morrow, and be with, and love back? |
16739 | Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? |
16739 | Is life not full of opportunities for learning Love? |
16739 | Is life not hard and sorrowful enough without being fettered with yet another yoke? |
16739 | Is the infinite task begun? |
16739 | It was full of beautiful thoughts; but when I came to ask myself,"How does he say I can get Rest?" |
16739 | Now we understand it all? |
16739 | Now, how? |
16739 | Now,_ where_ is the Kingdom of God? |
16739 | One of the robbers left the rest and rode toward him, and said:"Boy, what have you got?" |
16739 | Presently another robber came and he said:"Boy, what have you got?" |
16739 | Restlessness has a cause: must not_ Rest_ have a cause? |
16739 | Shall I tell you what the_ cause_ is? |
16739 | Shall a mechanical experiment succeed infallibly, and the one vital experiment of humanity remain a chance? |
16739 | Suppose even_ that_ influence prolonged through a month, a year, a lifetime, and what could not life become? |
16739 | Suppose the attraction of the earth were removed? |
16739 | Suppose you take the helm out of a ship and hang it over the bow, and send that ship to sea, will it ever reach the other side? |
16739 | The child''s great word when it begins to speak is,"Why?" |
16739 | The question of miracles is thrown at my head every second day:"What do you say to a man when he says to you,''Why do you believe in miracles?''" |
16739 | The wisdom of the ancients, where is it? |
16739 | Then the Christian experiences are our own making? |
16739 | Then you reduce religion to a common Friendship? |
16739 | There is nothing that requires so much to be kept in its place as religion, and its place is what? |
16739 | This mysterious approximating of two souls, who has not witnessed? |
16739 | To see the star with? |
16739 | WHAT ARE THE CHIEF CAUSES OF UNREST? |
16739 | We have got past that physically; have we got past it morally? |
16739 | What comes from the Kingdom of God? |
16739 | What do you think he did? |
16739 | What does that mean? |
16739 | What does the modern Church say to a man who is skeptical? |
16739 | What does this brief account of the origin of doubt teach us? |
16739 | What has been THE CHURCH''S TREATMENT OF DOUBT in the past? |
16739 | What has the boy got in his pocket? |
16739 | What is it made of? |
16739 | What is it? |
16739 | What is that unseen thing? |
16739 | What is that which if duly learned will find the soul of man in Rest? |
16739 | What is the Kingdom of God? |
16739 | What is the connection, then? |
16739 | What is the noblest object of desire, the supreme gift to covet? |
16739 | What is the soldier''s first lesson? |
16739 | What is the use of having faith? |
16739 | What is the verb? |
16739 | What is the"glory"of the Lord, and how can mortal man reflect it, and how can that act as an"impressed force"in moulding him to a nobler form? |
16739 | What makes a man a good artist, a good sculptor, a good musician? |
16739 | What makes a man a good cricketer? |
16739 | What makes a man a good linguist, a good stenographer? |
16739 | What makes a man a good man? |
16739 | What mood is it in? |
16739 | What must one work at? |
16739 | What other arithmetic words? |
16739 | What was Christ doing in the carpenter''s shop? |
16739 | What was his first thought at that terrible moment? |
16739 | What was the third head? |
16739 | What, then, is the practical lesson? |
16739 | What, then, is the remedy? |
16739 | When are we to exchange the terrible, far- away, absentee God of our childhood for the everywhere present God of the Bible? |
16739 | When he came quiet near, I said to him:"What are you doing here?" |
16739 | When shall we learn that the pursuit of holiness is simply THE PURSUIT OF CHRIST? |
16739 | When shall we substitute for the"it"of a fictitious aspiration, the approach to a Living Friend? |
16739 | When, how, are we to be different? |
16739 | Whence, then, is joy? |
16739 | Whence, then, these pressures, and where this Potter? |
16739 | Where does Joy come from? |
16739 | Where is the Kingdom of God? |
16739 | Where were all these people yesterday? |
16739 | Where, then, shall one look for such a formula? |
16739 | Who is Christ? |
16739 | Why did He not tell us, for example, how such a thing as Rest might be obtained? |
16739 | Why did it elude them? |
16739 | Why did nothing happen? |
16739 | Why do we want to live to- morrow? |
16739 | Why is Love greater than faith? |
16739 | Why should God have provided that so many hours of every day should be occupied with work? |
16739 | Why stumble at that in the relation of man to Christ which is natural in the relation of man to man? |
16739 | Why, if all this be true, does He call it a_ yoke_? |
16739 | Why, then, did the Great Teacher not educate His followers fully? |
16739 | Why, while professing to give Rest, does He with the next breath whisper"_ burden_"? |
16739 | Why? |
16739 | Will you do it? |
16739 | Will you not do it now? |
16739 | Will you not regret that only at the last you helped the Kingdom of God? |
16739 | Will you observe what its elements are? |
16739 | Would he ever dream of taking His name in vain if he loved him? |
16739 | Would he not be too glad to have one day in seven to dedicate more exclusively to the object of his affection? |
16739 | You could only insult him if you suggested that he should not steal-- how could he steal from those he loved? |
16739 | but"How have I loved?" |
16739 | he replied;"do n''t you know this is British soil? |
16739 | second? |
16739 | third? |
4052 | And is not this threatening, at least in part, already put into execution? |
4052 | And what has been the event? |
4052 | And why is it that others who see all those things, do not take warning by them, to prepare for their own latter end? |
4052 | And will you still persevere in the road of misery? |
4052 | And, When will the sabbath be ended? |
4052 | But how can you reconcile these prohibitions to your conduct; or your consciences? |
4052 | But to whom? |
4052 | Can it be a question with you, whether the God who made heaven and earth, or Satan, the god of this world, is the best master? |
4052 | For should they be found so at last, what will become of you, if you live and die impenitent? |
4052 | For who amongst us can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
4052 | From whence proceed the infidelity, blasphemy, lying, theft, sabbath- breaking, slandering and the many horrid evils, which every where abound? |
4052 | Have not many of you, for the sake, perhaps, of a few shillings, unjustly obtained, plunged yourselves into misery for the remainder of your lives? |
4052 | Hence the thought of many is, What a weariness is it? |
4052 | Is not this the language of your hearts? |
4052 | Is this acting like rational or accountable creatures? |
4052 | My brethren, what shall I say? |
4052 | Now what must be the end of these courses? |
4052 | Shall not I visit for these things, saith the Lord? |
4052 | Such are all his posterity: for who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
4052 | The great point is, how we shall die? |
4052 | Thus it is said, God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son For what purpose? |
4052 | Was it not God? |
4052 | What would a stranger think, who regards the sabbath, if he visited every part of this colony on the Lord''s day? |
4052 | Whence is it that so many in this colony, labour under such sore and complicated disorders, pains, and miseries? |
4052 | Whence is there so much ignorance and contempt of God? |
4052 | Who gave you the powers of reason and speech? |
4052 | Why are so many, both young and old, taken away by death? |
4052 | Why do mankind so eagerly, so universally pursue the vain pleasures and follies of the world, while they seldom think of God their Maker? |
4052 | Will you not pray to be delivered from it? |
4052 | Will you still prefer the chains of your own depraved inclinations, to the service of God, which is perfect freedom? |
44122 | Have you been to Damascus? |
44122 | Have you passed your whole life right here in Homs? |
44122 | Well, surely you have been to Hamath? |
44122 | But this would cost a considerable sum, and how was that to be raised? |
44122 | I then asked him directly,"Are you not a Moslem?" |
44122 | In the light of this incident, will anyone say that commercial honor is confined to the West? |
44122 | Is it a wonder that I began to gain at once? |
44122 | Is it enough? |
44122 | Shall we wait longer before pressing on in this direction? |
44122 | Should we fall behind the Y.M.C.A.? |
44122 | Suddenly I heard the doctor''s voice behind me saying,"Boy, do you want your eye straightened?" |
44122 | The walls were completed, the roof timbers in place, but where were the tiles? |
44122 | They said,"Do Christian women have any religion?" |
44122 | What plan would be made for the family of growing children? |
44122 | What then was the trouble? |
44122 | When he paused I said to him,"Sir, how is it that you speak so, although you wear the fez?" |
44122 | Which is it to be in Syria? |
44122 | Who can forget his first glimpse of the real Orient, at Port Said? |
44122 | Who would take up the work thus suddenly dropped? |
44122 | Why, then, should our boys go so far from home? |
16076 | To a Preacher,which runs as follows:"In harmony with Nature? |
16076 | While you do not know life,replied he,"how can you know about death? |
16076 | ''"[ 19][ Footnote 19:_ Can the Church Survive_? |
16076 | And does Jesus mean very much to us if He is only"Jesus"? |
16076 | And what is it that makes the futility of so much present preaching? |
16076 | And what is the religious consciousness? |
16076 | And why is the reformatory replacing the prison? |
16076 | And, if we do, would we dare to assert it, come out from the world and live for it, in the midst of the paganism of this moment? |
16076 | Are we going to be afraid to keep its fires burning? |
16076 | Because He calls us away from ourselves? |
16076 | Because He is something other than us? |
16076 | But can worship be taught? |
16076 | But did that subtle intellect suffice? |
16076 | But does right knowing in itself suffice to insure right doing? |
16076 | But how much has our average non- liturgical service to offer to their critically trained perceptions? |
16076 | But how shall the connection be made? |
16076 | But is this what men have passionately adored in Jesus? |
16076 | But where are we turning for our remedy? |
16076 | But why is the heart subdued, the mind elevated, the will made tractable by Him? |
16076 | By the ancient law that the only effectual appeal is to might and that opportunity therefore justifies the deed? |
16076 | By the humane law, some objective standard of common rights and inclusive justice? |
16076 | By the unwritten law of heaven? |
16076 | By what law, admitting many exceptions, are men on the whole trying to change this situation at once indecent and impious? |
16076 | By what law, depending upon what sort of power, is each seeking its respective ends? |
16076 | By what power can he go through with this experience we have just been relating and find his whole self in a whole world? |
16076 | Can this energy be found without subtracting energy from some other sphere?" |
16076 | Can we afford to do that? |
16076 | Do we dare define it? |
16076 | Does not its_ real politik_ make the philosophical naturalism of Spencer and Haeckel seem like child''s play? |
16076 | Does the world''s sin and pain and weakness come and empty itself into the broad current of these devout lives? |
16076 | First, by which of these three laws of human development, religious, humanistic, naturalistic, has it been largely governed? |
16076 | For between the two, associated capital and associated labor, what is there to choose today? |
16076 | For upon what law, natural, human, divine, has this new empire been founded? |
16076 | For what is a doctrine? |
16076 | For what is a dogma? |
16076 | For what is it that looks out from the eyes of religious humanity? |
16076 | Has it worked to clarify and solidify the essence of the religious position? |
16076 | Has love of Him been self- love? |
16076 | Has not the time arrived when, if we are to find ourselves again in the world, we should ask, What is this religion in which we believe? |
16076 | Has not the trouble with most of our political and moral reform been that we have had a passion for it but very little science of it? |
16076 | Has not your school held the civilized world, both old and new alike, in the hollow of their hand for two long generations past? |
16076 | He chafes at the limitations of time and space? |
16076 | How are we, being guilty, to find Him? |
16076 | How can anyone give unity to such a prospect? |
16076 | How can he dare to try it? |
16076 | How can he gain power to achieve it? |
16076 | How can we know the ways of godliness if we take God Himself for granted? |
16076 | How has this renewal of naturalism affected the church and Christian preaching? |
16076 | How is he to bridge the gulf? |
16076 | How shall the unfaith which the mystery, the suffering, the evil of the world induce be overcome? |
16076 | How then shall we become alive again? |
16076 | In what does scientific and emotional naturalism issue, then? |
16076 | In what lies the essence of the leadership of Jesus? |
16076 | Inequality of endowment? |
16076 | Is it any wonder then that we can not compete with the state or the world for the loyalty of men and women? |
16076 | Is it not clear, then, that preaching must deal again, never more indeed than now, with the religion which offers a redemption from sin? |
16076 | Is it not worth while to remember that the great religious leaders have generally ignored contemporary social problems? |
16076 | Is it quite clear that their influence has been so much more potent than the gospel of the various churches? |
16076 | Is it the curate of souls, patient shepherd of the silly sheep? |
16076 | Is it the professional ecclesiastic, backed with the authority and prestige of a venerable organization? |
16076 | Is it the theologian, the administrator, the prophet-- who? |
16076 | Is it to a disinterested and even- handed justice, the high legalism of the Golden Rule, which would be the humanist''s way? |
16076 | Is it to exalt human nature? |
16076 | Is it true that without the loaves and the fishes we can do nothing? |
16076 | Is not the devotee, like the poet or the lover or any other genius, born and not made? |
16076 | Is not this the vision which we need? |
16076 | Is there anything in this world sufficient now for the widow, the orphan, the cripple, the starving, the disillusioned and the desperate? |
16076 | Is this thy body''s end? |
16076 | Is this why He has become the sanctuary of humanity? |
16076 | It pays no attention, except to ridicule them, to the problems that vex high and serious souls: What is right and wrong? |
16076 | Lives that have seemed strong and fair go down every day, do they not, and shock us for a moment with their irremediable catastrophe? |
16076 | Now, if all this is true, what is the religious preaching of Jesus, what aspect of His person meets the spiritual need? |
16076 | Or are we''created''in Him? |
16076 | Or has preaching declined and become neutralized in religious quality under it? |
16076 | Or he whispers,"Whither shall I go from Thy spirit, Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence? |
16076 | Or is it to the old law of aggression and might transferring the gain thereof from the present exploiters to the recently exploited? |
16076 | Our immediate question is, Who, on the whole, is the most needed figure in the ministry today? |
16076 | Rebellion, pride? |
16076 | Secondly, by what law are men now attempting to solve its present difficulties? |
16076 | Shall we ever reach His level, become as divine as He, or does He have part in the absolute and infinite? |
16076 | Shall worms, inheritors of this excess, Eat up thy charge? |
16076 | So he cries,"Wretched man that I am, what shall I do to be saved?" |
16076 | So what is the religious passion? |
16076 | Sometimes we are constrained to ask ourselves, How can the heart of man go so undismayed through the waste places of the world? |
16076 | The law of humanism, of Confucius and Buddha and Epictetus and Aurelius? |
16076 | The law of humanism? |
16076 | The law of naked individualism; of might; force; cunning? |
16076 | The law of the jungle? |
16076 | The unwritten law of heaven? |
16076 | The unwritten law of heaven? |
16076 | Then comes the final question: How are we, being helpless, to reach Him? |
16076 | They know well that Nature does not exist by our law; that we neither control nor understand it; is it not our friend? |
16076 | To borrow the expressive language of Paul, was He''created''in us? |
16076 | We need not ask with Faust,"Where is that place which men call''Hell''?" |
16076 | What Europe wants to know is why and for what purpose this holocaust-- is there anything beyond, was there anything before it? |
16076 | What are we reading in the public prints and hearing from platform and stage? |
16076 | What can we do, then, better for an age of paganism than to cultivate this transcendent consciousness? |
16076 | What gives us the key to her dualism? |
16076 | What has the one to do with the other? |
16076 | What is He like? |
16076 | What is His power to lift and how long may it last? |
16076 | What is holy and what is profane? |
16076 | What is the code that made the deadly rivalry of mounting armaments between army and army, navy and navy, of the Europe before 1914? |
16076 | What is the end for us? |
16076 | What is the real nature of its resources? |
16076 | What is the religious law, then? |
16076 | What is the use of preaching social service to the almost total neglect of setting forth the intellectual and emotional concept of the servant? |
16076 | What is ugly and beautiful? |
16076 | What justifies a pseudo- civilization which permits such tragic inequality of fortune? |
16076 | What justifies it, then? |
16076 | What law produced and justifies such a society? |
16076 | What men are chiefly asking of life at this moment is not, What ought we to do? |
16076 | What shall enable us to do that mystic thing, come back to God? |
16076 | What the real nature of its remedies? |
16076 | What was the worst thing about the war? |
16076 | What, as President Tucker asks, is this power which shall make"maybe"into"is"for us? |
16076 | What, then, has been the final effect of humanism upon preaching? |
16076 | What, then, has humanism done to preaching? |
16076 | When shall I come and appear before God?" |
16076 | Who can forget Othello''s soliloquy as he prepares to darken his marriage chamber before the murder of his wife? |
16076 | Who could state the mingling of desire and dread with which men strive after, and hide from, such a God? |
16076 | Who does not love to lie, in those slow- waning days upon the sands which hold within their golden cup the murmuring and dreaming sea? |
16076 | Who else, indeed, has the words of Eternal Life? |
16076 | Who need be surprised at the restlessness, the fluidity, the elusiveness of the Protestant laity? |
16076 | Who would deny that the revival of intellectual authority and leadership in matters of religion is terribly needed in our day? |
16076 | Whoever needed to explain to a company of grown men and women what the cry of the soul for its release from passion is? |
16076 | Why are we surprised that the world is passing us by? |
16076 | Why do we answer the great invitation,"Come unto me"? |
16076 | Why do we think that there is Something which perpetually beckons to us through her, makes awful signs of an intimate and significant relationship? |
16076 | Why keep on insisting upon being good if our hearers have never been carefully instructed in the nature and the sanctions of goodness? |
16076 | Why so large cost, having so short a lease, Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend? |
16076 | Why this ever failing, but never ending struggle against unseen odds to grasp and understand and live with the Divine? |
16076 | back to home? |
16076 | but the deeper question, What is there we can believe? |
16076 | could it make the scholar into the saint? |
35811 | ''May I not, then, do with thee as I will?'' 35811 But the Lord was displeased at my words, and He rebuked me, saying,''Tell me now, art thou not Mine?'' |
35811 | O thou that lovest, wouldst thou know The path wherein thy feet should go? |
35811 | Thou hast betrothed me to Thyself; how could I be lost? 35811 What dost thou bring me, O my Queen? |
35811 | Where is thy patience, O My Queen? 35811 Why do ye not understand My speech? |
35811 | Will you not think of this? 35811 And I fell at His feet and said,''Beloved pilgrim, whence comest Thou?'' 35811 And I said to the Lord,''O loving God, what canst Thou find in me? 35811 And are not the same words still spoken day by day to those who have ears to hear? 35811 And is not heaven enough for thee? 35811 And they ask--What seekest thou thus afar? |
35811 | And when the sisters who were with her said in wonderment,"Would you not be afraid to die without the sacrament?" |
35811 | But Thou art great, and we are small, how then can we receive that which Thou givest? |
35811 | But how can it be that Thou shouldst build a golden house, the house of Thy dwelling place, in a miry pool?'' |
35811 | But in the case of communications regarded as the voice of God, and_ not_ standing in opposition to His Word, must not a further distinction be made? |
35811 | But the Lord comforted her, saying,"Is it not true that I always retain in My hand a greater power than I bestow upon My creatures? |
35811 | But whence did Eckhart derive his expressions which reappear in Dante? |
35811 | Can the Son of God not comfort thee? |
35811 | Can the hand that has wounded heal? |
35811 | Can we say that in the nineteenth century it is otherwise? |
35811 | Can"religion"love us? |
35811 | Could you be so uncourteous to Him, as to refuse Him one hour a day in return for these thirty years? |
35811 | Did Dante know it as the Béguine knew it? |
35811 | Did he know that the river was a river of death-- the death which is the death of deaths,"in the land of the Jews"so long ago? |
35811 | Did they not often mistake for His voice the imaginations of their own hearts? |
35811 | For God to each of His creatures gave The place to its nature known, And shall it not be that my heart should crave For that which is mine own? |
35811 | How are we to do this? |
35811 | How did Matilda die? |
35811 | How much power does the spirit of unbelief, of lukewarmness, of corrupted Christianity, exercise upon us? |
35811 | How, then, was it that the true sheep of Christ in the convent of Hellfde followed at times the voice of strangers, and mistook it for His own? |
35811 | I said to him,"Good man, what is it you are lifting?" |
35811 | In how many words could that be taught us which we learn from the one expression,"The Lamb of God"? |
35811 | Is there nothing believed and taught amongst us which blinds the eyes of lost and helpless sinners to their need of a Saviour? |
35811 | O Bride, the saints in glory shine, Can they not fill that heart of thine? |
35811 | O blessed Love, who are they who know thee? |
35811 | Or slay, if no balm there be? |
35811 | Should she not rejoice and sing? |
35811 | Soul, couldst thou abide for an hour alone In the burning fire around His throne?" |
35811 | The nightingale she can but sing, For she is made of love''s delight, Of love bereft, what else were left Than death and night? |
35811 | Then spake the Host--"What need hast thou, That thou dost thus implore?" |
35811 | Then speaketh He and saith,"Beloved one, What would''st thou? |
35811 | This wide, wide world, so rich and fair, Thou sure canst find thy solace there? |
35811 | Thou art joined to Me, O Mine own, for ever, And nearer thou canst not be; Shall aught on earth or in heaven sever Myself from Me?" |
35811 | To the bridal chamber goeth the bride, For love is her home and rest; And shall not I in His light abide, When I lean upon His breast?" |
35811 | Was it in his case but a vague sense of a place of joy and beauty which the soul might find on this side of heaven? |
35811 | Whence came I here? |
35811 | Where art Thou, then, Belovèd? |
35811 | Where wilt thou find that ointment rare, O My belovèd one? |
35811 | Why so? |
35811 | Why so? |
35811 | Wilt thou die for Him who died? |
35811 | Wilt thou render Him love for His loving? |
35811 | Wilt thou, sinner, be converted? |
35811 | [ 10]"Why did I thus pray?" |
35811 | [ 12] Should we therefore conclude that_ all_ they received as His was but the working of their own minds, or a snare of the evil one? |
35811 | nothing which blinds the guilty to their need of the Atoning Blood? |
47829 | Can you read, Joe? |
47829 | A week or two of study passed, when the gentleman who had provided Joe with hat and book accosted him with,"How do you get on, Joe?" |
47829 | After years of servitude shall we turn our backs upon glorious privileges that are now within our reach? |
47829 | General discussions were also participated in on Prizes, Moral Instruction in Schools, and"What''s the use of Schools?" |
47829 | How can we consistently refuse to welcome these others, who are patient, industrious and frugal? |
47829 | Is not the babe a blessing to the household? |
47829 | Need a missionary in Africa practice more self- denial than this exceedingly neat and delicate girl in Georgia? |
41993 | And who that reads his Bible, will think it strange for me to say, that the blessing of the Lord is upon him who sacredly regards the Sabbath? |
41993 | But have they nothing to do? |
41993 | But in what does the sanctification of the Lord''s day chiefly consist? |
41993 | But may I not safely say, that the more nearly it is observed, the more profitably the day may be spent? |
41993 | Can a man rob God and prosper? |
41993 | Can the world be shut out of such company, no matter how strict the injunctions of parents, and sincere the resolutions of those going from home? |
41993 | Do not many Christian families pay social visits on the Sabbath? |
41993 | Do we find it difficult to rise as early on that day as during the week, that with the morning we may commence our duties? |
41993 | Have persons who labour in our families for hire, no need of one day of rest in seven? |
41993 | Have they no Bible to read? |
41993 | Here it is, that our consciences most closely press us with the important question, What must I do to work the works of God? |
41993 | How many such visits are made profitable? |
41993 | How then shall we determine when it is right, and when wrong, to visit on the Sabbath? |
41993 | In cases of difficulty, how shall we determine what is right? |
41993 | In what visiting circle are the nature of religion, and the experience of the heart, the subjects upon which all unite profitably to pass the time? |
41993 | In whose family does not the conversation become worldly and of little worth? |
41993 | Is it possible for young people of different households, to associate on the Lord''s day, and not be led into the sin of light and vain conversation? |
41993 | Is meditation, and is prayer the duty of those only who are privileged with attending public worship? |
41993 | Is not duty plain, that we ought to relax our labours on Saturday, that we may not lose the most precious hours of the Lord''s day? |
41993 | Is this the way, that, above all, I would recommend to persons seriously asking, How may I most profitably spend the Sabbath day? |
41993 | No Catechism, that may be most conveniently committed to memory by them when left alone? |
41993 | No Scripture lessons to prepare for Sabbath School? |
41993 | Shall I gain spiritual strength by doing so? |
41993 | The difficulty with us all, of answering such questions without confusion, ought to lead us to ask, Is there not something wrong in such visits? |
41993 | We are not to ask, What is fashionable? |
41993 | What must I do, in the observance of the Sabbath,_ to promote the glory of God_? |
41993 | What rule can we lay down? |
41993 | What shall we say of those whose lot it may be to remain at home part of the day? |
41993 | What was the heritage of Jacob? |
41993 | Will my example be happy in its influence upon my children and others? |
41993 | Would we do good both to ourselves and others? |
42164 | And what becomes of the water, as the Dead Sea has no outlet? |
42164 | Forward and fear not; speed on the way, Why dost thou shrink from thy path in dismay? 42164 Forward and fear not; though trials be near, The Lord is thy refuge; whom shouldst thou fear? |
42164 | There are so many rents and divisions throughout Christendom that many are crying, Who shall show us any good? 42164 ''Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?'' 42164 --''What are the conditions on which we can join you?'' 42164 16)_ is_ here, and shall not_ this_ desert yet blossom as a rose? 42164 3d, 1873, to a crowded house she preached for half an hour from the text,''If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? 42164 Again,Where does it end?" |
42164 | And are we not reminded by divers tokens for good that light is advancing? |
42164 | And may we not accept as true the words of the poet:''Upon the great dial- plate of ages The light advanced no more recedes''? |
42164 | As he listened to its contents at the end of his journey he made the significant remark,"Is that all there is in it?" |
42164 | Did ever two more worthy the name go out to fulfil the duties belonging to that title? |
42164 | Does the improvement correspond to the outlay and effort?" |
42164 | How long, O Lord, ere thou takest unto thyself the great power and reignest? |
42164 | In the course of the evening our kind hostess inquired if we would like water for our feet? |
42164 | Liberia seems to press upon my mind, but can all this be called for at such weak hands? |
42164 | Nay, Thy power and might, as ever, all omnipotent shall be:''Rock of Ages,''what can move me if I lean my soul on Thee?" |
42164 | Penn asked,"How shall I know that a man does not obtrude his own sense upon us as the infallible Spirit?" |
42164 | Such thrilling raptures_ this_ impart With_ love my bosom_ warm? |
42164 | Sybil Jones said,"I hope thou art seeking a crown in that higher warfare?" |
42164 | The questions are often asked,"Is the gain worth the cost? |
42164 | What tongue can tell my soul''s anguish as the tears flowed fast from each child''s almost bursting heart? |
42164 | Who can calculate the amount of good that one such life of dedication and devotion has accomplished? |
42164 | Who, indeed, can know the agony of my spirit, save"He who rolls the planets in their spheres And counts the lowly mourner''s tears?" |
42164 | and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?" |
42164 | he exclaimed,''is this the way you honor your prophet? |
42164 | shall a face, then, win my heart, Mere symmetry of form? |
33998 | But how long do you think He will be there? |
33998 | Do you,he cried,"who have been guilty of shedding innocent blood, dare to enter the sanctuary?" |
33998 | How long do you intend to remain within the Church? |
33998 | Tell me,he demanded,"which is of greater weight in the eyes of God-- your sin, black as it is, or the blood of Jesus, shed for sinners?" |
33998 | Where did that hymn come from? |
33998 | Why? |
33998 | ''Is it so?'' |
33998 | A Tribute to the Dying Saviour Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended, That man to judge Thee hast in hate pretended? |
33998 | After a while the dean asked,"What have you written?" |
33998 | And how can we ever be sufficiently grateful for the tune called"Toplady,"which has endeared"Rock of Ages"to millions of hearts? |
33998 | And how shall they preach, except they be sent? |
33998 | And who has not been stirred by the challenge in"Am I a soldier of the cross?" |
33998 | Another very famous translation from the Greek by Neale is the hymn: Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distressed? |
33998 | Ask ye who this may be? |
33998 | Beneath the famous picture were inscribed the words: This have I done for thee; What hast thou done for Me? |
33998 | Can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell? |
33998 | Equal to the Father now, Though to dust Thou once didst bow, Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see? |
33998 | Famished souls who seek salvation, Have ye heard the loving call? |
33998 | He said to me one day,''Why do you not write us a missionary hymn?'' |
33998 | Her fidelity to Scriptural language may be seen in the following simple verses: Have ye heard the invitation, Sinners ruined by the fall? |
33998 | I gave My life for thee: What hast thou given for Me? |
33998 | I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter''s power? |
33998 | If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? |
33998 | If you want anything, why do n''t you come in and ask for it?" |
33998 | In 1810 he preached his famous probation sermon on the striking theme,"Why has the Word of God departed from His house?" |
33998 | Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share? |
33998 | It is a wise saying; for who can estimate the influence of the songs we sing, especially the songs of children? |
33998 | James Montgomery, 1818 THE HYMN LEGACY OF AN ENGLISH EDITOR Shortly before James Montgomery died, a friend asked him,"Which of your poems will live?" |
33998 | Martin Luther, 1527? |
33998 | My sins are great, where shall I flee? |
33998 | O Jesus, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low,"I died for you, My children, And will ye treat Me so?" |
33998 | O where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing, What must the Source be whence it comes, the Giver? |
33998 | O ye chosen, have ye slighted This sweet call to you proclaimed? |
33998 | One day, when a small boy, he sat before the kitchen fire and wrote on his slate: And must I always swing the flail And help to fill the milking pail? |
33998 | One of them, however, bearing the name of"Chelsea,"has yielded the famous hymn,"O where are kings and empires now?" |
33998 | She answered:"Do you know that, if at birth I had been able to make one petition to my Creator, if would have been that I should be made blind?" |
33998 | Shortly before the end came he cried to the friends who were gathered about him,"Sing, sing, can you not sing?" |
33998 | The lords song sing can wee? |
33998 | Then there is the majestic hymn of worship,"Before Jehovah''s awful throne,"as well as the appealing Lenten hymn,"Alas, and did my Saviour bleed?" |
33998 | There is scarcely a hymn- book of any communion today that does not contain,"Who are these, like stars appearing?" |
33998 | What though my flesh and heart decay? |
33998 | When shall his message come With friendly smiles to steal my breath And take an exile home? |
33998 | Where is death''s sting? |
33998 | Who Thy mighty depths can measure? |
33998 | Who brought this upon Thee? |
33998 | Who can sound, with earthly line, Thy profundity of treasure, Thy infinity divine? |
33998 | Who has not been moved to the depths of his soul by the inspiring words and resounding music of this unusual hymn? |
33998 | Who has not found inspiration in singing that sweet and haunting melody known as"Ortonville"? |
33998 | Who is it that brings to the wounded and sore The balm that can heal and relieve? |
33998 | Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? |
33998 | Who otherwise would have thought of songs for Chautauqua and called upon a poet to write them? |
33998 | Who was the guilty? |
33998 | and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
33998 | and how shall they hear without a preacher? |
33998 | how can it be So few bestow a thought on Thee, Or on the love, so wondrous great, That drew Thee down to our estate? |
33998 | shall I not hear?" |
33998 | shall the old African blasphemer stop while he can speak?" |
33998 | where, grave, thy victory? |
41994 | Can you attain it? 41994 And if the last question comes to search the heart--Are you willing for it?" |
41994 | And that not according to the earthly standard of value, where the question always is, How much? |
41994 | And then the question came,"_ White as snow_, can you attain that?--can you make yourself that?" |
41994 | And what does that spirit suggest? |
41994 | And what was it that led Ananias to this sin? |
41994 | And what was the sin? |
41994 | And when a man gives, the world still asks,_ what_ does he give? |
41994 | And, again, he was asked,"Are you willing that I should do it?" |
41994 | Are there not many who say they have given their all to God, and yet prove false to it in the use of their money? |
41994 | As he thought, it was as if one said to him,"_ White as snow_, do you know what that is?" |
41994 | But if our Lord wanted us to do as she did, why did He not leave a clear command? |
41994 | Christ asks, how does he give? |
41994 | Christ,_ how_ does he use it? |
41994 | Corinthians, 8, 9._"THROUGH HIS POVERTY": what does that mean? |
41994 | Has the Church been faithful to this truth in her solemn protest against the claims of wealth? |
41994 | How are we to know what our calling is? |
41994 | In other words, is the poverty of Jesus something for Him alone, or something in which His disciples are to share? |
41994 | Instead of the question, How far am I, as a Christian, free still to do this or the other? |
41994 | Is the right to possess and enjoy the riches of earth as it is now everywhere practiced in the Church part of what Christ has secured for us? |
41994 | That He dispossessed Himself of all heavenly and earthly possessions that the riches of earth and heaven might be ours? |
41994 | The heavenly poverty of Jesus Christ-- do you know what it is? |
41994 | The world asks,_ what_ does a man own? |
41994 | What can have made the gift such a crime? |
41994 | What it is in Him, in His disciples and in Paul, in His saints in later days? |
41994 | What it would be in you? |
41994 | Where had they learned this? |
41994 | the truly free spirit asks, How far am I free to follow Christ to the uttermost? |
37734 | ;( 2)Who is an Apostate? |
37734 | Do the Jews use Christian Blood? |
37734 | What do you mean by the religion of our fathers? |
37734 | When I found myself face to face with the question:--''What think you_ now_ of Christ?'' 37734 ''Why, then,''I replied,''should we not confess the truth?'' 37734 ''Would you like me to read it to you,''said he,''together with some beautiful verses he has addressed to me?'' 37734 After he returned it Dr. Brown asked him whether he would like to read a book which defended the Christian religion? 37734 Can Christianity be merely a modern form of Paganism when such noble souls as these profess it? |
37734 | Can a nation that has made the gigantic mistake of accepting twenty- four false Messiahs claim to be infallible in rejecting a twenty- fifth? |
37734 | Could this be from one of whom it was said only two years before,"She is an out- and- out Jewess?" |
37734 | Did he not wish that all Israel were prophets? |
37734 | Dr. Cassel''s death took place, after great sufferings, on December 23rd, 1893, his last words being,"Wo ist denn das Himmelreich?" |
37734 | During the fifty years that elapsed from the time of the founding of the''Domus''until the year of the great expulsion, about a hundred Jews in all(?) |
37734 | For whom then? |
37734 | Has he not made Israel the most known people? |
37734 | Have you at all thought of your own brethren who live in your own neighbourhood without the light of the Gospel?" |
37734 | He divided his discourse into four points, including the following questions and answers: I.--Is Jewish mission work necessary? |
37734 | How did He lead me? |
37734 | I am going to heaven, and may I not hope to meet you there? |
37734 | I could only say to myself, Where is the atonement for sin? |
37734 | II.--How shall they be converted? |
37734 | III.--How shall these missionaries carry on their work? |
37734 | IV.--How are the converts to be treated? |
37734 | If Christ has done away with the law of Moses, how can He be the Messiah?'' |
37734 | Is that to be wondered at? |
37734 | Jeremiah says:''Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? |
37734 | Long after, when he had learned to speak English with ease, we asked:"Why did your parents burden you with such a number of names?" |
37734 | Neander''s work is like a broken column, and yet who shall say it had been better otherwise? |
37734 | On the other hand, the question often worried me; Why does not God answer such real and fervent prayers? |
37734 | On this occasion he wrote:"A Word to my People,"afterwards"The Star of Jacob,""Kol nidre night,""Is there no Physician there?" |
37734 | Should I not be a thousand times happier if I were one of the lower animals? |
37734 | Since 1882 I have been enabled, like Saul of Tarsus, to cry,''Lord what wilt Thou have me to do?'' |
37734 | The following are some of Saphir''s works:( 1)"Who is a Jew? |
37734 | The following is the language of one who took a leading part in laying one stone upon another: What is Babel? |
37734 | To my question,''What shall I do then?'' |
37734 | Turning to the lady who had introduced us, she angrily said,''I thought you told me they were Israelites?'' |
37734 | What if his followers did persecute Israel? |
37734 | What if the Christians are right? |
37734 | What right has the Jew to reject Jesus? |
37734 | Whence could this strong conviction arise? |
37734 | Why did he not help you himself?" |
37734 | Why does not the Messiah come to release His people? |
37734 | Why not let every one remain in the religion in which they were born? |
37734 | Why was I created a man? |
37734 | Will the Lord accept one who comes to Him at the last hour, even though he approaches His Throne without the sacrament of baptism?" |
37734 | With much kindness he enquired,"What is it, my dear?" |
37734 | You who can sympathize in the feelings of those like- minded with you, need I describe to you what passed in my mind at this solemn moment? |
4544 | Wouldest thou behold Christ transfigured? |
4544 | 8:"Whether thow shalt be oure kyng, oither we shal be undirloute to thi bidding?" |
4544 | And for this bitterness I clepe the spirit of malice, of wrath, and of wickedness the worst spirit of them all; and why? |
4544 | And, therefore, what is more healfull[110] than the sweetness of this sight, or what softer thing may be felt? |
4544 | But what fruit may she bear, ought but that she learn to live temperately in easy things, and patiently in uneasy things? |
4544 | But what maketh it matter[303] who speaketh, when it is all one and the same thing that is spoken? |
4544 | Could Aristotle, could Plato, could the great band of philosophers ever attain to it? |
4544 | For what reaveth from a soul[196] more readily the affection of sinning, than doth a true working of dread of death? |
4544 | Is it not enough to thee, trowest thou not, that thou art escaped by the mercy of our Lord from everlasting damnation? |
4544 | Thus I trow that saint Paul felt, when he said this word of great desire:"Who shall deliver me from this deadly body? |
4544 | What helpeth to know the person of him that speaketh, when it is siker and certain that all is evil and perilous that is spoken? |
4544 | What supposest thou of thyself, wretched sinner? |
4544 | What, then, is the death of Rachel, save the failing of reason? |
4544 | Whether hast thou chosen to serve our Lord only for the comfort that thou mayst have of Him in this life? |
4544 | Why hast thou not mind of thy sins? |
4544 | [ 95] And I pray thee, who is he that sinneth not in ignorance? |
4544 | [ And what more? |
17075 | All the words? |
17075 | If God be with us,saith St. Paul,"who can stand against us?" |
17075 | What gay thing may that be? |
17075 | What? 17075 Why, wife,"quoth her husband,"what would you do?" |
17075 | A prisoner, because he is kept for execution? |
17075 | ANTHONY: Have you never dreamed ere this that you have done the same? |
17075 | ANTHONY: How happed it? |
17075 | ANTHONY: Is he no minstrel, cousin, who playeth not on a harp? |
17075 | ANTHONY: Long after? |
17075 | ANTHONY: No, none at all? |
17075 | ANTHONY: Not any man, cousin? |
17075 | ANTHONY: Well, then, if the great Turk give you your goods, can there then in all your life none other take them from you again? |
17075 | ANTHONY: What if a man should ask you how long? |
17075 | ANTHONY: Who think themselves wise? |
17075 | ANTHONY: Who? |
17075 | ANTHONY: Why, what said he, cousin? |
17075 | Alas, poor souls, what cause is there to envy them who are ever wealthy in this world, and ever out of tribulation? |
17075 | And if we can not( as St. Paul saith we can not) come to heaven but by many tribulations, how shall they come thither who never have none at all? |
17075 | And is it not then more than shame that Christ shall see his Catholics forsake his faith rather than suffer the same for heaven and true glory? |
17075 | And is it wisdom, then, to think so much upon the Turks that we forget the devil? |
17075 | And she all berated him, and asked him,"What will you do, that you will not put yourself forth as other folk do? |
17075 | And should we, then, shrink to suffer as much for eternal honour in heaven and everlasting glory? |
17075 | And then what careth he for those words that he knoweth well he shall never hear? |
17075 | And then what persecutor can there be, so strong as to take it out of his hand? |
17075 | And then what weapon of the devil may give us any deadly wound, while that impenetrable shield of the shoulder of God standeth always between? |
17075 | And then, if he dwell with us, what trouble can do us harm? |
17075 | And what difference, then, as to the stopping of the breath, whether they were shut up within or without? |
17075 | And what fancies, think you? |
17075 | And what manner of shameful shame shall that be, then? |
17075 | And what was the way by which he walked into heaven? |
17075 | And when a man so doth, cousin, is this no tribulation to him because he doth it himself? |
17075 | And who could live by the tailor''s craft, if no man were able to have a gown made? |
17075 | And would he not be a very fool if, for a wealth of a few weeks, he would think himself far his better? |
17075 | And would we who are servants look for more privilege in our master''s house than our master himself? |
17075 | Are you then sure enough to retain all your substance still? |
17075 | Between Christ and Belial?" |
17075 | But God said unto him,"Fool, this night shall they take thy soul from thee, and then all these goods that thou hast gathered, whose shall they be?" |
17075 | But as it may be"perhaps yea,"so may it be"perhaps nay,"and where is he then? |
17075 | But be it now that he could never lose it; could none take your substance from you then? |
17075 | But did he tell them too where they should have hid it, to make it sure? |
17075 | But now, cousin, against these terrible things, what way shall we take in giving men counsel of comfort? |
17075 | But now, to speak of the thing itself in its own proper nature, what is it but a blast of another man''s mouth, as soon past as spoken? |
17075 | But she so much misliked this continual discomfortable fashion of hers that she would sometimes say,"Eh, what aileth this girl? |
17075 | But since there is no man to whom we can complain for redress, what remedy is there but patience, and to sit still and hold our peace? |
17075 | But was that great prelate''s oration, cousin, at all praiseworthy? |
17075 | But what, saith he, shall follow thereof? |
17075 | But why should I need in this matter to lay forth one place or twain? |
17075 | Can a man, uncle, have in such a thing even a very sure knowledge of his own mind? |
17075 | Can you burn out half a short candle, and then have a long one left of the rest? |
17075 | For he saith,"What availeth it a man if he won all the whole world, and lost his soul?" |
17075 | For how can that death be shameful that is glorious? |
17075 | For how can you prove to me that you are awake? |
17075 | For how many hath now this great Turk? |
17075 | For how should you then rather lose your goods than forsake your faith, if you have lost your faith and let it go already? |
17075 | For how would it be possible, since almost every one of them would, if he could, be lord over all the rest? |
17075 | For if a man should in every sickness pray for his health again, when should he show himself content to die and to depart unto God? |
17075 | For is not the going about the serving of the flesh a business that hath no end, but evermore from the end cometh to the beginning again? |
17075 | For what free man is there so free that he can be suffered to do what he please? |
17075 | Goeth everything evermore as every one of them would have it? |
17075 | He that hath all this favour, or he that is thus hardly handled? |
17075 | How many get out of prison who happen outside on such harm as the prison would have kept them from? |
17075 | How many men attain health of body for whom it would be better, for their soul''s health, that their bodies were sick still? |
17075 | How many who have been loth to lose their worldly goods have, in keeping of their goods, soon afterward lost their life? |
17075 | Howbeit, they seem yet somewhat the more-- what say I,"somewhat"? |
17075 | If it must then be gotten with running, when shall he come at it who lifteth not one step toward it? |
17075 | If our land be a thing of more surety than our money, how happeth it then that in this persecution we are more afraid to lose it? |
17075 | If we put it into the poor men''s bosoms, there shall it lie safe, for who would go search a beggar''s bag for money? |
17075 | Is this any sophistry first, or not? |
17075 | Is this, cousin, a fond imagined fancy, or is it very truth indeed? |
17075 | Is this, think you, cousin, verily thus or not? |
17075 | Maketh no man melody but he who playeth on a lute? |
17075 | No man doubteth but Ismael was great comfort unto him at his birth; and was it no grief, then, when he must cast out the mother and the child both? |
17075 | Not God? |
17075 | Now, Cousin Vincent, what would you call this man? |
17075 | Or how can it be anything but glorious to die for the faith of Christ, if we die both for the faith and in the faith, joined with hope and charity? |
17075 | Or no prisoner, because he is in the meanwhile so favourably handled and suffered to do all that he would, save escape? |
17075 | Or what excuse can we have by the tenderness of our flesh? |
17075 | Or what good hath the glory of our riches done unto us? |
17075 | Or who would have thought that in giving comfort to them they would use the way that I may well use to you? |
17075 | They called her Mother Maud-- I daresay you have heard of her? |
17075 | Think you now, my lord, that Sultan and this Turk, being both of one false sect, you may not find them both alike false of their promise? |
17075 | Though he recovered Loth again from the three kings, was his capture no trouble to him, think you, in the meanwhile? |
17075 | VINCENT: Ah, well, uncle, can you report her so? |
17075 | VINCENT: God? |
17075 | VINCENT: How happed it, uncle, that that good law was left unmade? |
17075 | VINCENT: How long? |
17075 | VINCENT: I pray you, uncle, what advice would be to be given him in such a case? |
17075 | VINCENT: I pray you, what was that, good uncle? |
17075 | VINCENT: Marry, lo, do I not now wag my hand, shake my head, and stamp with my foot here on the floor? |
17075 | VINCENT: Now, if a man so found it, uncle, what counsel should he give him then? |
17075 | VINCENT: This man, quoth he? |
17075 | VINCENT: Three thousand, uncle? |
17075 | VINCENT: What causes, good uncle, are those? |
17075 | VINCENT: What is that, uncle? |
17075 | VINCENT: What one man, uncle? |
17075 | VINCENT: What strange state was that, uncle? |
17075 | VINCENT: What surety can a man have of such a great prince except his promise, which for his own honour it can not become him to break? |
17075 | VINCENT: What thing may that be, uncle? |
17075 | VINCENT: Why, where should they hide it, then, said he? |
17075 | Was it no trouble, that his cousin Loth and himself were fain to part company, because their servants could not agree together? |
17075 | Was the destruction of the five cities no heaviness to his heart? |
17075 | What a madman would he be who, when a lion were about to devour him, would vouchsafe to regard the biting of a little fisting cur? |
17075 | What became, uncle, of the man? |
17075 | What continual grief was it to his heart, many a long day, that he had no child begotten of his own body? |
17075 | What may a man lose in them, and thereby what pain may he suffer? |
17075 | What the devil should she be the better then? |
17075 | What wit have we poor fools to know what will serve us? |
17075 | Whereto tendeth this threat of the wise man, that he who delighteth in wealth shall fall into woe? |
17075 | Who can for very shame desire to enter into the kingdom of Christ with ease, when he himself entered not into his own without pain? |
17075 | Who could live by masonry, or who could live a carpenter, if no man were able to build either church or house? |
17075 | Who doubteth of that? |
17075 | Who dwelleth, now, good cousin, in the help of the high God? |
17075 | Who owned your village, cousin, three thousand years ago? |
17075 | Who shall come and cast it in his teeth, and tell him it is a shame for him to be so fickle and so false of his promise? |
17075 | Who would be the makers of any manner of cloth, if there lacked men of substance to set sundry sorts to work? |
17075 | Who would dare, good cousin, for shame or for sin, for himself or any other man, to make this kind of prayer? |
17075 | Why should a man greatly rejoice in that which he daily seeth most abound in the hands of many who are wicked? |
17075 | Will you sit by the fire and make goslings in the ashes with a stick, as children do? |
17075 | Would her mistress, think you, be likely to be content with this condition? |
17075 | Would we get into his kingdom with ease, when he himself got not into his own but by pain? |
17075 | XXV Howbeit, what need we to make any such comparison between the natural death and the violent, for the matter that we are in hand with here? |
17075 | Yea, or in one day or one hour, either? |
23096 | And you believe in God, do you? |
23096 | But_ when_? |
23096 | By whose authority? |
23096 | If God be for us who can be against us? |
23096 | Is Jesus divine? |
23096 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? |
23096 | Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? 23096 What can I do for you, dear?" |
23096 | What have they seen in thy house? |
23096 | Why must I have this trial or pain or trouble? |
23096 | ( Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? |
23096 | After all, it is not so much a question of the knowledge of the day, or the hour, or the month of one''s conversion as"Do we now know Christ?" |
23096 | And so for those of us whose lives have been such a struggle we cry,"Is there no deliverance?" |
23096 | And then the question came to him as from God,"What do you believe?" |
23096 | And they said, What is that to us? |
23096 | Are there not hundreds and thousands of other men waiting, as the chief justice waited, for some one to speak or write? |
23096 | As has been indicated, the text proves that we may choose life if we will, but I have more especially in mind the question,"Why should we do it?" |
23096 | At the day of Pentecost people were saying,"What do these things mean?" |
23096 | But how about the sins of the past? |
23096 | But on the other hand, what if we should simply be faithful? |
23096 | But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? |
23096 | But"Is there no deliverance that is complete?" |
23096 | Could anything be more inspiring than to know that we have the approval of the Holy Ghost of the things we say or think? |
23096 | Did n''t you notice a fresh little grave near the one with the stone? |
23096 | Do I know when I was converted? |
23096 | Do you reject hell, because it seems to you to be inconceivable? |
23096 | Do you think for a moment that those who gaze at us would imagine that we had the least conviction that people away from Christ were lost? |
23096 | Does your life parallel God''s law or cross it? |
23096 | Finally they met, and the infidel with a sneer said,"So you believe the Bible, do you?" |
23096 | For the angel had said,"The Lord is with thee, Gideon,"and Gideon had said,"If the Lord is with us, then how can these things be?" |
23096 | For this day we hope and pray and cry aloud,"O Lord, how long, how long?" |
23096 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? |
23096 | God seemed to say to him,"Have you ever taken that stand where you would say,''I am committed to the right even if it ends in death''?" |
23096 | Has he not said,"Ye shall receive power"? |
23096 | Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" |
23096 | Have we failed to take both? |
23096 | Have you ever seen a perfect rainbow-- that is, a rainbow in a perfect circle? |
23096 | Have you ever stopped to think what is really associated with the full acceptance of the third Person of the Trinity? |
23096 | He granted Saul of Tarsus a vision of himself as he approached Damascus until he cried,"Who art thou?" |
23096 | He then lying on Jesus''breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? |
23096 | How about your living? |
23096 | How about your testimony? |
23096 | How could we expect them to have the same experience in coming to Christ? |
23096 | How may I be converted? |
23096 | How may I know certainly? |
23096 | How may we know that he is striving? |
23096 | How may we know that the Bible is the word of God? |
23096 | How may we secure such a possession? |
23096 | How then ought we to live? |
23096 | How wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? |
23096 | I The natural question that comes to every student of the life of Judas must be,"Why was he chosen?" |
23096 | I What is conversion? |
23096 | I What is the striving of the Spirit? |
23096 | I ask you the question, Do you believe in heaven as a place of rewards? |
23096 | I doubt not the question has often come to us,"How can God be just and be the justifier of them that believe?" |
23096 | I found myself becoming unscrupulous in my business life and now I am wrecked, certainly for time-- oh,"said he,"can it be for eternity? |
23096 | I looked the other day into the face of a man who said to me,"Do you know me?" |
23096 | II Have you really taken all that God meant you should have? |
23096 | II How may I be converted? |
23096 | II Why are we not having revelations to- day as we know they have been given at other times? |
23096 | III Did you ever realize that you were standing in the way of the conversion of your friends? |
23096 | III Do you know when you were converted? |
23096 | III Oh, is there no hope? |
23096 | III What would be the consequences of the Spirit ceasing his work? |
23096 | IV How may we know that we have passed from death into life? |
23096 | IV Why should he cease his striving? |
23096 | If these things are true of us-- and they are, according to the Word of God-- then what prospect is there for us but that of eternal punishment? |
23096 | If this is true then what is consecration? |
23096 | In the twenty- first chapter of John the fifth and sixth verses we read,"Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? |
23096 | Is it not like this with our sins? |
23096 | Is not this written in the book of Jasher? |
23096 | Is such a deliverance as this from individual sins possible? |
23096 | It is indeed a black picture, and with whitened faces and rapidly beating hearts we ask, Is there any hope? |
23096 | It is not giving God something, for how could we give him that which is already his own? |
23096 | It is true that we shall go on from light into darkness, from morning into the night, but is there no final deliverance? |
23096 | It may be that some will say,"Why insist upon conversion when my life is a moral one?" |
23096 | Just what is the burden of this prayer of Paul''s? |
23096 | Man tells the depraved man to change his surroundings; but how about the heart that is unclean? |
23096 | Man tells the sinner to do his best; but how about the will which has been weakened by sinful practices, and which seems unable to act? |
23096 | Napoleon once was asked,"What is the greatest need of the French nation?" |
23096 | Oh, if it be true that the_ way_ of the transgressor is hard, in the name of God what shall we say of the end? |
23096 | Oh, may I say that it is a great sin to be untrue? |
23096 | One man called my attention to it and said,"It is amusing, is n''t it?" |
23096 | Second: Just what, therefore, is this work of sanctification? |
23096 | THE MORNING BREAKETH TEXT:"_ Watchman, what of the night? |
23096 | That is, do you know the exact time? |

23096 | The great temperance leader went to speak to him and said"Edward, why do n''t you pray?" |
23096 | The old minister looked at him and said simply,"Well, is that anything to be proud of?" |
23096 | The rest of the verse is a question,"God that justifieth?" |
23096 | The thirty- fourth verse reads,"Who is he that condemneth?" |
23096 | The words"unto them"are in italics, so not in the original, and we ask"added to what?" |
23096 | Then said I, O my Lord, what are these? |
23096 | Then the question for the moralist is this,"Have you ever offended in one point?" |
23096 | Then why not now? |
23096 | They spent the night in the kirk in prayer, when the minister said,"Why not ask God to restore his body?" |
23096 | This appealed to the dying man and he said,"Where shall I read?" |
23096 | V But what must I do to take advantage of all this gracious offer of God? |
23096 | V What is meant by the Spirit not striving? |
23096 | V"_ And the host ran, and cried and fled._"What hosts are against us to- day? |
23096 | Was there ever such a catalogue of mercies? |
23096 | Watts[ Transcriber''s note: Watt?] |
23096 | What hope is there for the moralist when Jesus said,"Except ye be converted"? |
23096 | What if God''s will should be done for but one year in all things in any of our cities; would the result be anything else than perfect joy? |
23096 | What if I had said,"I will decorate the well house that I may change the water?" |
23096 | What if he had hidden behind some great rock and simply waited? |
23096 | What if he had tarried behind some one of those great trees near the city along the way which he should walk, or, possibly on the Emmaus way? |
23096 | What if instead of going out to the scene of his disgraceful death he had waited until after Jesus had risen? |
23096 | What is it, therefore? |
23096 | What should he do with it? |
23096 | When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? |
23096 | When the minister said to the old sea captain,"Why do you do this? |
23096 | Who ever heard of a boy growing in this way? |
23096 | Who ever heard of a doctor who had a prescription for growth? |
23096 | Who knows but one could speak and the other could sing? |
23096 | Who was that Robert? |
23096 | Who, then, would be without it? |
23096 | Why have we not this power of his? |
23096 | Why is not some one in our own land especially working out some of the great plans and purposes of God? |
23096 | Why should God continue when we only spurn his offers of mercy? |
23096 | Why take such a risk?" |
23096 | Will you not come while he calls to- day? |
23096 | With such a work as this, who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect? |
23096 | Would God that justifieth do it, or Christ that died consent to it? |
23096 | and he said,"Yes, sir; do you?" |
23096 | and in thy name done many wonderful works?" |
23096 | and in thy name have cast out Devils? |
23096 | and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? |
23096 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
16763 | ''How many anvils have you had,''said I,''To wear and batter all these hammers so?'' 16763 ''Spell what, Henry?'' |
16763 | ''What in the world are you trying to say, boy?'' 16763 And did you?" |
16763 | And what have I got? 16763 But I could not spell Jehu, so I went to my teacher and asked,''Please, how do you spell Jehu?'' |
16763 | But,said Yuan Ki,"the teacher-- how did he die?" |
16763 | Come back? |
16763 | Engine trouble? 16763 Find all that in the Bible?" |
16763 | How can a fellow question Jesus in these days, like the Pharisees? |
16763 | How many barley cakes have you, son? |
16763 | How much are they worth? |
16763 | How much are they worth? |
16763 | It is all right,said the superintendent,"we''re glad to pay it, but would you mind telling me what the fifty cents is for?" |
16763 | Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
16763 | Oh, how much for the whole bunch? |
16763 | Sirs, what must I do to be saved? |
16763 | What lack I yet? |
16763 | What''s the matter,I said,"why do n''t you unwrap your line and fish?" |
16763 | Who art thou, Lord? |
16763 | You are beaten to earth? 16763 Almost had actually_ run_ to meet Jesus, to ask Him that question,What lack I yet?" |
16763 | Am I downhearted because I have been mistreated? |
16763 | Am I feeling that I can not hold out in this Christian program? |
16763 | Am I feeling that I''d like to"get even"with somebody and redress a wrong? |
16763 | And do you suppose the final publicity is what rewards this doctor? |
16763 | And how to be ready? |
16763 | And this boy''s first thought, naturally, was:"Then, what will I do? |
16763 | And what did He do? |
16763 | And what did our Lord teach in that graphic story? |
16763 | And what is God''s Word telling us about it to- day? |
16763 | And when is He coming, fellows? |
16763 | And whom will you choose to help, and why? |
16763 | And why not? |
16763 | And yet, do you know that people are just as foolish to- day? |
16763 | Are we worthy of it? |
16763 | Are you ready, fellows? |
16763 | Are you sure you are Right? |
16763 | Barnabas wants to take him and Paul wants to leave him-- and why? |
16763 | Bless your life, fellows, do you know what his lord would have said to that man? |
16763 | But what matters how good God is and how plain His warnings if we go right on in the wrong direction? |
16763 | But, fellows, what can you say about that one man in a thousand who plays the game of"Remember and Pay"as finely as David did? |
16763 | Can you say that about any other game? |
16763 | Chafe over the interruption and delay? |

16763 | Ever see anything like that? |
16763 | Fellows, I had rather PULL with Christ than DRIFT with the devil, would n''t you? |
16763 | Fellows, are you building anything these days? |
16763 | Fellows, can you imagine how we felt? |
16763 | Fellows, what are you going to be worth-- to God, and to your fellow- man? |
16763 | Foolish? |
16763 | Foolish? |
16763 | Had you thought of it, fellows, that every Christian is challenged and commissioned to do a big, hard task for Jesus? |
16763 | Had_ I_ ever"drowned"in shallow water? |
16763 | Hard luck, was n''t it? |
16763 | He gets on my nerve-- and do you know why, fellows? |
16763 | He knows Mark made a mistake back there in Pamphylia, but who does not make a slip sometime? |
16763 | He said,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to_ live and do_?" |
16763 | He turned to Philip and said:"Where shall we get food for them?" |
16763 | Honest now, is n''t that so? |
16763 | How do we discharge that trust? |
16763 | How to know your task? |
16763 | How would we get on without the telephone? |
16763 | I say, can you see the king now? |
16763 | I think, fellows, if you should give your life to save another, you would not like that one to forget all about it, would you? |
16763 | Is n''t that fine? |
16763 | Is there any boy who does not have a motor in his mind? |
16763 | It was a wonderful test of my control, and I shall present it to the Lord--"And what did Jesus say? |
16763 | It was going some, was n''t it? |
16763 | It was playing the game of kindness to win, was n''t it? |
16763 | Listen to First Corinthians 9:24- 27:"Do you not know that in the foot- race the runners all run, but that only one gets the prize? |
16763 | Make good? |
16763 | Need any help?" |
16763 | Now there is a paradox, and it seems quite puzzling, does n''t it? |
16763 | Now think of the folks in your block, fellows; how many of them are in some sad plight which would make you shrink from exchanging places with them? |
16763 | Now what do you think of anybody who could despise work? |
16763 | Now, fellows, I can imagine Andrew going back to that boy and saying,"Son, the Master has need of this food you have brought; shall I take it to Him?" |
16763 | Now, fellows, watch-- What?--a triple play at a world series and twenty thousand fans leaping and yelling like mad? |
16763 | Now, fellows, which of these two was wise? |
16763 | Now, what do you know about that, fellows? |
16763 | Or are you just blazing away at something because you have warm red blood and all the zeal and purpose of youth? |
16763 | Or was it when you sat up all night in a coach on a railroad trip to root for your team next day on the enemy''s field? |
16763 | Or, is there a better way I should try? |
16763 | Peter said:"Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? |
16763 | Say, fellows, have you ever thought what a fight you could put up if you were invisible? |
16763 | Scared to death, do n''t you think? |
16763 | Scared? |
16763 | Should I run the risk of"butting in,"and warn him? |
16763 | Should they give it up? |
16763 | Should they sit down and sulk? |
16763 | Some, hearing the call, are answering,"But how do I know I will succeed in that sort of business? |
16763 | Suppose I did not and he should begin to sink, could I jump in that fifteen- foot water with my clothes on and save him? |
16763 | Take it? |
16763 | That was the recognition, but what had preceded? |
16763 | The Pharisee asked Jesus,"Who is my neighbour?" |
16763 | Then, what happened? |
16763 | There he had to remain nine months before he resumed his voyage; but what did he do? |

16763 | Want to take a look at Bob now? |
16763 | Was it when you waded into a big bully who was licking your little brother, and took the drubbing yourself? |
16763 | We like it, do n''t we? |
16763 | Well, fellows, that is what you cost; are you worth it? |
16763 | Well, well, what''s that? |
16763 | Well, what do you think of that? |
16763 | What are you choosing as the object of your loyalty? |
16763 | What could it mean? |
16763 | What do you suppose Mephibosheth thought when the messengers showed up one morning at Machir''s house and called for him to appear before the king? |

16763 | What must have been their feelings, I say, fellows, when suddenly He appeared before them_ alive_ and_ well_ and_ speaking_? |
16763 | What thing in my life would you warn me against, or what thing should I do which I am not doing? |
16763 | What was the use? |
16763 | What were some of the qualities in David which merited a crowning on that great day? |
16763 | Which would you rather be? |
16763 | Who could do it so wisely? |
16763 | Who would think of a yoke in connection with rest? |
16763 | Will I be contented in such work? |
16763 | Will it cost you anything to obey? |
16763 | Will it keep me in a comfortable living? |
16763 | Will it pay? |
16763 | Will men come when I tell them?" |
16763 | Win what? |
16763 | With all the earnestness of your soul, ask Him,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" |
16763 | Work? |
16763 | Would the little car rattle past with its damaged fender? |

16763 | until seven times?" |

4283 | What has the priesthood done in Brazil in about 400 years? 4283 And how shall they hear without a preacher? |
4283 | And what of the attacks against private and public fortunes? |
4283 | But why these fine clothes? |
4283 | Ever since that day I have been hearing that pathetic question,"Where can I go?" |
4283 | Finally one of them asked him this question:"Suppose someone should strike you in the face in persecution, what would you do?" |
4283 | How do you suppose I managed it when they served some delicious cane molasses, and, instead of bread to go with it, they served cream cheese? |
4283 | How is it with our missionaries in Brazil? |
4283 | I said to him,''Captain, why are you beating me, I believe in God; do not you also?'' |
4283 | I wonder how many churches in the United States have built their own house and pastorium and sustained themselves from the start? |
4283 | Immediately the priest inquired,"What is this I am hearing about you, Marciano?" |
4283 | Is it because the work is not successful there? |
4283 | Is it because there is less need of the gospel? |
4283 | Is it possible that we will grudgingly cling to our 8,000 ministers and decline to give even eight to reinforce our little handful in Brazil? |
4283 | Is not this after all the kind of preaching our Lord has sent us into the world to do? |
4283 | Is there any call for Protestant effort? |
4283 | One afternoon as he was passing by the priest''s home the priest accosted him and said:"Captain, why is it you do not stop with me any more? |
4283 | Shall we tell them? |
4283 | Stopping and panting he said,''Do you believe in God, you rascal?'' |
4283 | There flashed instantly in the boy''s eye a hope that had long since died, and he quickly inquired,"Where can I go?" |
4283 | To whom shall Latin- America go? |

4283 | What progress has this providential teaching of the Latins in the New World made? |
4283 | What shall I say of the priests? |
4283 | What was the secret of their actions? |
4283 | Who is he? |
4283 | Who is that handsomely- groomed, gentleman passing? |
4283 | Why do we need 400 ministers in this country to one in Brazil? |
4283 | Why this disparity of workers in Brazil? |
4283 | Would you not like to go out in the country to visit him?" |

41258 | As a minister of Christ, did his light shine with a more resplendent ray, or was it disturbed and overcast with gloom? |
41258 | At what period of the day do they attend school? |
41258 | But to where am I now wandering? |
41258 | Did he become selfish and morose? |
41258 | Do they appear to have any views of the Lord Jesus Christ as a Saviour? |
41258 | Do they learn to read and write? |
41258 | Do they understand figures? |
41258 | Does it now give you full satisfaction? |
41258 | Have they any meeting in the week- days for prayer and religious instruction? |
41258 | Have they renounced generally their former superstitions? |
41258 | Have you an infant school, or a school for men and boys? |
41258 | He was one of Nature''s nobles; what might not be expected from such a man when he returned home again? |
41258 | I spoke from the 6th chapter of Revelation.--''Behold the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?'' |
41258 | If"music charms the savage breast,"sir, why should not the sweetest sounds that ever met man''s ear do more? |
41258 | It may be asked, who are proper persons, and what are the requisite qualifications? |

41258 | THE GREAT QUESTION; Will you consider the Subject of Personal Religion? |
41258 | The Christian reader will probably ask what were the effects of these various trials upon Mr. Marsden''s mind and temper? |
41258 | The question was put to the whole army,"Do you agree to this?" |
41258 | They had come among them to preach the gospel of peace, how then could they be expected to furnish the means and implements of destruction? |
41258 | We are wholly in their power, and what is there to hinder them from abusing it? |
41258 | Were the Maories an inferior race, compared with the aborigines of the Tahitian group? |
41258 | What contrast could indeed be greater, or more distressing? |
41258 | What do they learn? |
41258 | What schools there are at the station, and who are the teachers? |
41258 | What shall we call those pure sensations that thus warm and captivate the soul? |
41258 | Who would not desire that the Maorie tribes may long be a great and powerful nation, protected, but not oppressed by English rule? |
41258 | Why should a nomad race be settled upon the workhouse plan, or even confined to an English farm? |
41258 | Why should not a similar state of things be brought about in New Zealand? |
41258 | You have no covetousness? |
41258 | a school for women? |
41258 | and the prophets, do they live for ever?" |
41258 | dead?'' |
41258 | havn''t you? |
41258 | stop, my friend,''responded the mourner, in a solemn manner,''do n''t you know that Mrs. Cartwright is dead?'' |
41258 | were his spiritual affections quickened? |
48370 | And was not this exactly the Case of our_ Royal Sufferer_? |
48370 | But did they enjoy that_ Liberty_ any otherwise than in Name? |
48370 | Did the_ Authors_ of those Troubles find their Account in''em? |
48370 | Was not the nefarious Business in Agitation dignified with the specious Title of_ the Lord''s Work_? |
48370 | Was the Course of the_ Law_ more free and undisturb''d, or_ Justice_ more equitably and impartially Administer''d? |
48370 | Was the Freedom of_ Parliament_, and Right of_ Elections_ more inviolably kept? |
48370 | Was there a greater_ Liberty of Conscience_, when the prevailing Sect for the Time Condemn''d the_ Toleration_ of the rest as_ Anti- christian_? |
48370 | Was there not a Day of_ Humiliation_ appointed? |
48370 | Were there fewer_ Executions_,_ Fines_ and_ Imprisonments_? |
48370 | Were they able at last quietly to Establish their own Way of Worship, and had they not many contending Rivals? |
48370 | Were they less under the Terror of an_ armed Force_? |
36732 | Ai n''t nine old enough? |
36732 | And then you''ll be a missionary wo n''t you? |
36732 | Are you sure He''d forgive you? |
36732 | Are you sure, Bessie, you realize what you''re doing? |
36732 | Caoutchouc, is it, teacher? |
36732 | Children, are you ready for Sunday school? 36732 Could I?" |
36732 | Did n''t any body coax you to join the church? |
36732 | Do you realize a change of heart? |
36732 | Do you want to know, Charlie, how you can tell if you can be a missionary when you are a man? |
36732 | Do your parents have family worship? |
36732 | He does? 36732 How did you learn to give that for the reason?" |
36732 | How do you know that you love Jesus? |
36732 | How does it come you did not want to wait till you grew up, like many others do? |
36732 | How does it seem? |
36732 | How long did you want to join the church before last summer? |
36732 | How often do you pray? |
36732 | How old are you, Bessie? |
36732 | How old must one be first? |
36732 | I think so, do n''t you? |
36732 | Must I do something bad before I can join the church? |
36732 | Now, then, are you happy, Bessie? |
36732 | Papa,she continued"why do you stay here with me? |
36732 | Papa,she said"why do n''t you have the door open in Charlie''s room? |
36732 | Poor little fellow, what do you think I had better tell him? |
36732 | Suppose at school some of the other scholars tease you, then what? |
36732 | Suppose sometime you should sin, then what? |
36732 | Suppose the church should ask you to do something you did not want to do? |
36732 | Then is it any use to study so hard to get a good education? |
36732 | We can all do something, then, ca n''t we? 36732 Well, but, am I old enough?" |
36732 | Well, mamma,he said,"I would like to be a Christian, ca n''t I? |
36732 | Well, then why did n''t we send lots of missionaries fifty years ago? 36732 Well, why do n''t you tell me, Charlie? |
36732 | Were there heathen fifty years ago? |
36732 | What about, Bessie? |
36732 | What are you going to do when you grow up? |
36732 | What did you want to be baptized for? |
36732 | What do you say about it, papa? |
36732 | What does it mean to be under conviction? |
36732 | What must I do? |
36732 | What part do_ you_ take? |
36732 | What part of the Bible do you like the best? |
36732 | What things? |
36732 | When were you baptized? |
36732 | Who made you? |
36732 | Why so, Earl? |
36732 | Why, my dear boy,said his mamma,"you can enjoy it anyhow, ca n''t you?" |
36732 | Why? |
36732 | Why? |
36732 | Yes, and then, papa, what wrong has he done? |
36732 | A wagon going by, the man called out,"Charlie, what are you doing?" |
36732 | After he had set the bucket of water on the table he said,"What do you think I was thinking about when I was hunting for that five cents?" |
36732 | But I could, for Jesus helps, do n''t He?" |
36732 | But what is to be done with the children? |
36732 | Did Christ not die for them? |
36732 | Does an education make a person good?" |
36732 | Does it scare you?" |
36732 | Does"all the world"exclude children? |
36732 | Is the church not for them? |
36732 | Mamma, why do n''t we have family worship, anyhow?" |
36732 | On the way home one Sunday night Charlie broke the monotonous rumble of the carriage by asking,"Mamma, do you think I''d be saved if I''d die?" |
36732 | Other members do, do n''t they?" |
36732 | What does"come"mean, when the Savior says"Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not"? |
36732 | What does"in"signify, in"bringing up children in the Lord?" |
36732 | What would your papa and I do?" |
36732 | When did he say so?" |
36732 | Which is stronger,--the chestnut tree or the little chestnut?" |
36732 | While they were eating, Charlie said,"Do you think, mamma, I can get up head this afternoon? |
36732 | Why?" |
36732 | Will He forgive me, mamma, and will you?" |
36732 | Wo n''t you ask papa? |
36732 | You know what development means?" |
36732 | and what is the meaning of those last three words? |
50916 | Are gentle moon, or kindling sun, Or stars unnumbered, given As shrines to burn earth''s incense on-- The altar- fires of heaven? 50916 How long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 50916 How long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 50916 O grave, where is thy victory? |
50916 | What am I, that infinite unworthiness and nothingness should be permitted to stand in the presence of infinite purity, majesty, and glory? |
50916 | Where would I have been this night but for_ Him_? |
50916 | what wouldst thou have me to do?" |
50916 | where could I have been this night_ but_ for_ Thee_? |
29296 | For whereby shall it be known that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy sight? 29296 How that? |
29296 | Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? 29296 Jesus saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? |
29296 | Tell me,he said,"were you saved by doing your best?" |
29296 | What profit should we have, if we pray unto Him? |
29296 | Which of you shall have a friend at midnight, and shall say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves? |
29296 | = Pray without Ceasing.=--Does that refer to prayer for ourselves or others? |
29296 | = Pray without Ceasing.=--How can I learn it? |
29296 | = Pray without Ceasing.=--How do I know what to pray for? |
29296 | ="Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost? |
29296 | A PLEA FOR MORE PRAYER CHAPTER VI Restraining Prayer: is it Sin? |
29296 | A PLEA FOR MORE PRAYER CHAPTER VII Who shall Deliver? |
29296 | A PLEA FOR MORE PRAYER CHAPTER VIII Wilt Thou be made Whole? |
29296 | And how does He expect to find them? |
29296 | And how is this to be done? |
29296 | And if it be, how is it to be dealt with, to be discovered, and confessed, and cast out by man, and cleansed away by God? |
29296 | And shall not God avenge His own elect, which_ cry to Him day and night_, and_ He is long- suffering with them_? |
29296 | And shall we who are Christians not be able to face the difficulties that we meet in prayer? |
29296 | And what happened? |
29296 | And what is now the disease of which the lack of prayer is the symptom? |
29296 | And what is now, according to the parable, the life that one must lead to bear fruit, and then ask and receive what we will? |
29296 | And why? |
29296 | And will you still doubt whether God is able to make you"strivers with God,"princes who prevail with Him? |
29296 | Are there not tens of thousands with us mourning the lack of the power of intercession? |
29296 | Are we going to give up ourselves to God and His Spirit to live a life in prayer, well- pleasing to Him? |
29296 | Are we to submit? |
29296 | Are you mourning that just this is your trouble-- you do not, can not, live this branch- life, abiding in Him? |
29296 | But is it really possible? |
29296 | But what shall we say of it, that there is such a widespread prevalence of this failure to give a due proportion of time and strength to prayer? |
29296 | Can anything be nobler than to do as Christ did? |
29296 | Can it indeed be that those who have never been able to face, much less to overcome the difficulty, can yet become mighty in prayer? |
29296 | Can it indeed be? |
29296 | Can we deny it that the lack of prayer is the sin on account of which God''s presence and power are not more manifestly seen among us? |
29296 | Do you not begin to feel prayer is really the help for this sinful world? |
29296 | Do you not see how all depends upon God and prayer? |
29296 | For what? |
29296 | HOW TO PRAY.--As a Child asks a Father="If a son ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? |
29296 | HOW TO PRAY.--With definite Petitions="What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? |
29296 | HOW TO PRAY.--With the Understanding="What is it then? |
29296 | Has not our school of intercession taught us how little we have prayed in the name of Jesus? |
29296 | Have you done it? |
29296 | How can I breathe and feel and hear without ceasing? |
29296 | How can one do it who is surrounded by the cares of daily life?--How can a mother love her child without ceasing? |
29296 | How can our wishes, often so foolish, and our will, often so selfish, overrule or change that perfect will? |
29296 | How can the eyelid without ceasing hold itself ready to protect the eye? |
29296 | How comes it that the confession of too little prayer, and the call for more prayer, is so frequently heard, and yet the evil continues? |
29296 | How much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? |
29296 | How? |
29296 | If Christ gave His life for them, will you not do so? |
29296 | If prayer was thus the power by which the Primitive Church flourished and triumphed, is it not the one need of the Church of our days? |
29296 | If we are to deal effectually with the lack of prayer we must look at it from this point of view and ask, Restraining prayer, is it sin? |
29296 | In answer to the question, But why, if the answer to prayer is so positively promised, why are there such numberless unanswered prayers? |
29296 | Is it not that_ Thou goest with us_?" |
29296 | Is it not worth while asking the Lord whether the message I bring you as His servant may not be more true for you than you think? |
29296 | Is there not almost everywhere a confession of the lack of spirituality and spiritual power? |
29296 | It is of this reign of grace in the soul that Paul asks,"Shall we sin because we are under grace?" |
29296 | Let me once again ask the question: Does the work of intercession take the place in the Church it ought to have? |
29296 | Making us conscious of our feebleness in prayer? |
29296 | May I be allowed to speak a very personal word to each of my readers? |
29296 | Or how can our prayer change what He has ordained before? |
29296 | Or tell us how we can attain to what we desire?" |
29296 | Ought I not to do my best to have the coldness removed?" |
29296 | Our Lord Jesus more than once asked those who cried to Him for mercy,"What wilt thou?" |
29296 | RESTRAINING PRAYER-- IS IT SIN? |
29296 | Shall I at all be inquired of by them?" |
29296 | Shall we not learn the lesson which nature and Christ alike teach? |
29296 | Surely you can not say that our failures in prayer, and we sadly confess to them, are owing to our not living"under grace"? |
29296 | Tell me, was it really possible for Jacob to become Israel-- a prince who prevailed with God? |
29296 | These hints to help us in our work of intercession-- what are they doing for us? |
29296 | WHO SHALL DELIVER? |
29296 | WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE? |
29296 | Was it only in Israel, in the ministry of kings and prophets, that there was so much evil in God''s people to be cleansed away? |
29296 | Was it only in the Church of the first century, that Paul and James and our Lord Himself had to speak such sharp words? |
29296 | We must see that this restraining prayer, with the excuses we make for it, is greater sin than we have thought; for what does it mean? |
29296 | We must, unless we are to rest content with our state, listen to and join in the question,"Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? |
29296 | Were it not better to leave all to His disposal, who knows what is best, and loves to give us the very best? |
29296 | What a need there is of unceasing prayer? |
29296 | What can it be? |
29296 | What can our ten minutes of intercession avail? |
29296 | What could they accomplish if each were living in the fulness of the Holy Spirit? |
29296 | What does this teach? |
29296 | What gave Him such boldness? |
29296 | What is education but a daily developing and disciplining of the mind by new difficulties presented to the pupil to overcome? |
29296 | What is it that the vinedresser cuts away with his pruning- knife? |
29296 | What is it we are to be or do, that will enable us to pray as we should, and to receive what we ask? |
29296 | What was he to think of his state, and was there any way out of it? |
29296 | What, he asked, must I think of such a life? |
29296 | Where could He seek them but in His Church? |
29296 | Who are the blessèd ministers Of this world- gathering band? |
29296 | Who would not be willing to have his sickness removed? |
29296 | Will there not be some who feel constrained to cry out,"Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" |
29296 | Will ye not join the blessèd ranks In their beautiful array? |
29296 | Will you do it? |
29296 | Will you not do it? |
29296 | Will you not, even now, accept of this by faith? |
29296 | Wilt Thou not revive us again? |
29296 | Wilt thou be made whole? |
29296 | You pray for"the Spirit of grace and supplication"? |
29296 | how in all the intercourse of ministers and people, in all the ministrations of Christ''s Church, it is the one secret of success? |
29296 | how it can defy all the power of the world, and fit men to conquer that world for Christ? |
29296 | how it is to be sought in prayer continually and persistently? |
29296 | how they who have the heavenly power can pray it down upon others? |
29296 | shall we not be ashamed of our reluctance to sacrifice the flesh and our own will and the world, as it is seen in our reluctance to pray much? |
29296 | what think you, is it not possible that this has been the want in your life, the cause of your failure in prayer? |
29296 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
29296 | who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? |
29296 | why is it that so many of God''s children have no desire for this honour-- being princes of God, strivers with God, and prevailing? |
29296 | why then is not the health of the daughter of my people restored?" |
57109 | But is there not another standpoint from which it behoves us to consider this narrative? |
57109 | Is not the living CHRIST speaking now through this story to us, who as much need the Living Water as did the Samaritan woman? |
57109 | Is there anything of human manufacture that is not easily proved to be man''s work when tested by the microscope? |
57109 | Why has it been recorded, but for our instruction? |
57109 | Why is so much time worse than wasted over criticism of its different books? |
44835 | Mother, if I study, Sure He''ll make me know Why the stars He kindled, O''er our earth to glow? |
44835 | And can it be, that I''m possessed Of something brighter far? |
44835 | And not by word or action said The thing that was not strictly true? |
44835 | And when night came, that little one, In kneeling down to pray, Said, in a soft and whispering tone,"Have I been good to- day?" |
44835 | Does any from the false world find Naught but reproach and scorn? |
44835 | Does any, stung by words unkind, Wish that he ne''er was born? |
44835 | Glows there a light within this breast, Out- shining every star? |
44835 | Have we been gentle, lowly, meek, And the small voice of conscience heard? |
44835 | Have we endeavored to do right, Nor thought our duty a hard task? |
44835 | Have we with cheerful zeal obeyed What our kind parents bade us do? |
44835 | How do the leaves fade Beneath the autumn blast? |
44835 | How do the leaves grow, In spring, upon their stems? |
44835 | How many a weary traveler Would miss the fragrant smell? |
44835 | How the voice of God be heard? |
44835 | Is not true leisure One with true toil? |
44835 | Our outward life requires them not,-- Then wherefore had they birth? |
44835 | Suppose the glistening dew- drop, Upon the grass, should say,"What can a little dew- drop do? |
44835 | Then who shall say this world is dull, And all to sadness given, While yet there grows on every side, The smile that came from heaven? |
44835 | To brave the dull, cold morning sky, While day is scarcely breaking? |
44835 | To whom shall we, Thy children, turn? |
44835 | WHAT IS HEAVEN? |
44835 | We''re just starting into life,-- What shall arm us for its strife? |
44835 | What shall lead our steps aright? |
44835 | What, if they close at mid- day? |
44835 | When passion tempted us to speak, Have we repressed the angry word? |
44835 | Whence shall come a guiding light? |
44835 | Whence shall come the saving word? |
44835 | Where do we find it not? |
44835 | Why rise so soon, thou little bird, Thy soft, warm nest forsaking? |
44835 | Wouldst behold beauty Near thee, all round? |
44835 | have we stopped to think and pray, That God would please to give us power To chase the naughty thought away? |
44835 | they brighten; Are they angels''eyes?" |
44835 | who can speak His worth? |
33214 | And what did the teachers say? |
33214 | And what will happen if he dies? |
33214 | Boy,she said,"where is the cup?" |
33214 | Can you tell the tribe that has been in the habit of sacrificing to this bit of land? |
33214 | Do you know,she said one day to her chief,"you drink because you have not enough work? |
33214 | Do you think any one will listen to you? |
33214 | Do you think they will lay aside their weapons of war for you? |
33214 | Good, and what do the people say? |
33214 | How can you take four black girls to Scotland, and you so ill, Ma? 33214 However can you do it?" |
33214 | Indeed,said some one,"and did you get a clean plate and spoon?" |
33214 | Is n''t God good to me? |
33214 | Is n''t it the custom for the tribes to whom land belongs to sacrifice to it? |
33214 | Ma, you know me? 33214 Ma,"he said,"how I fit stop them woman mouth?" |
33214 | Me? 33214 Now, sonny,"she would say,"do you remember our little secret treaty? |
33214 | Oh, Ma, do n''t you see what I''m driving at? |
33214 | Oh, Ma, when are you coming? |
33214 | Oh, Ma, when can we go? 33214 Oh, dear,"she sighed,"what can I do with such bairns?" |
33214 | Oh, mother,the children would say when being tucked in bed,"how can Miss Slessor live alone like that with wild men and wild beasts and everything?" |
33214 | Oh,she thought,"is this what God meant when He turned me back last week?" |
33214 | Shall I not follow my Master,she said,"because my way is not easy and not nice? |
33214 | Well? |
33214 | What about your clothes? |
33214 | What can I do? 33214 What can you expect?" |
33214 | What do you mean? |
33214 | What does it matter? 33214 What harm can a wee girlie do you?" |
33214 | What have I done? 33214 What is it now?" |
33214 | What will it hold? 33214 What''s that?" |
33214 | Where is Ma? 33214 Where is that? |
33214 | Where is the chief? 33214 Where?" |
33214 | Why are you doing that, Janie? |
33214 | Why, Ma,said the natives in wonder,"what is a dead child? |
33214 | Why, what have they done? |
33214 | You''ll pray for me? 33214 A huntsman, in search of game, saw a movement amongst the bushes, and cried out,Any one there?" |
33214 | A long rest revived her, and she rose-- to go home? |
33214 | And for His sake will they not come out and work for Him there?" |
33214 | And then she wonders what her little friend is doing and asks,"Are you going to do something fine in the new year? |
33214 | Anyhow if I am not there will you pop my collection into the plate for me, like a bonnie lassie? |
33214 | Are you? |
33214 | Are you? |
33214 | But oh, has n''t it been grand? |
33214 | But what do you think your dear daddy did? |
33214 | But what shall I do with my girls? |
33214 | But you see I can not fly over the sea, and you ca n''t come here, so what better can we do?" |
33214 | Could she not, after all, be the missionary? |
33214 | Do n''t we live a very funny life? |
33214 | Do the masters give any punishments? |
33214 | Do you no ken that away out there they''re dying without Jesus?" |
33214 | Every one asked, What is to be done now? |
33214 | Had he spoken the truth? |
33214 | How can I describe it? |
33214 | How could she leave the work at Use? |
33214 | How could she manage it? |
33214 | How do you like it? |
33214 | How shall we live? |
33214 | I wonder, now, if you could love Him as much as that?" |
33214 | It is a wonderful old world this, is n''t it? |
33214 | Janie ca n''t count at all, she never could, and I had a great pity always for her, and yet what could I do without Janie? |
33214 | Now, dear wee blue eyes, my bonnie birdie, are we never to have a play again or a snuggly snug? |
33214 | Now, will you tell me what to do?" |
33214 | Once, when the land of a widow was stolen, she asked the people whether they would have the case judged by God''s law or by the Consul and a gun? |
33214 | One afternoon a Government officer visited her and said:"Ma, what are we going to do?" |
33214 | Or this,"Are you remembering our old secret? |
33214 | Several times she returned, and always the people asked:"Ma, have you come to stay?" |
33214 | She did not say,"I am only a girl, what can I do?" |
33214 | She said to herself,"Can I not build a little one for the ladies in Calabar?" |
33214 | Taking the wee twin boys in my hands I rushed out, and what do you think I saw? |
33214 | The Consul told the King that he_ must_ have quiet during the reading of the treaties, but the King said helplessly,"How can I do? |
33214 | They knew she was not specially brave; indeed, was not her timidity a joke amongst them? |
33214 | Was it a wonder that she began to lose her strength? |
33214 | Was it surprising that her hands were rough and hard, and often sore and bleeding? |
33214 | Well, what do they wish?" |

11760 | Christianity does not ask:"What think ye of the Bible?" |
11760 | Did you ever notice how continually John associates love and faith with eternal life? |
11760 | Did you ever think what he meant by that? |
11760 | Dine on what? |
11760 | Do you find yourselves face to face with the fact that Christ died for our sins? |

11760 | Is it the delusion of the sleeper, or the whisper of God? |
11760 | Is life not full of opportunities for learning love? |
11760 | Is not man''s helper that God who dippeth up the seas in the hollow of His hand? |

11760 | Roman Catholics go to mass; what is the mass? |
11760 | Shall I tell you what the cause is? |
11760 | Shall we discard it as an irrelevant factor in the purposes of common life? |
11760 | Shall we go forward with our Bible or backward without it? |
11760 | The wisdom of the ancients, where is it? |
11760 | There is the root, there the stem, and there are the leaves, and there is everything; but where is the flower? |

20711 | May not they be near us though unseen? |
20711 | No? |
20711 | Religion or Godliness? |
20711 | Sacrifices to be made-- are there none now? |
20711 | Shall we therefore be dark too? |
20711 | That inborn delight of the young in all that is marvellous and fantastic-- has that a merely evil root? |
20711 | Then what can He mean but thy good?" |
20711 | There were daring deeds to be done then-- are there none now? |
20711 | Though blind, shall we be afraid to follow? |
20711 | To do God''s will, or merely suffer it? |
20711 | True or False Toleration? |
20711 | Verily, when the Son of God cometh shall He find faith in the earth? |
20711 | What can a man do more than_ die_ for his countrymen? |
20711 | What does God ask? |
20711 | What does God require of us, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Him? |
20711 | What else is meant by becoming as a little child? |
20711 | What if I had discovered that one law of the spiritual world, in which all others were contained, was Righteousness? |
20711 | What if a man''s idea of"The Church"be somewhat too narrow for the year of grace 18--, is it no honour to him that he has such an idea at all? |
20711 | What is Theology? |
20711 | What is love worth that does not show itself in action? |
20711 | What is sensuality? |
20711 | What is the commonest, and yet the least remembered form of heroism? |
20711 | What is the sin which most destroys all men and nations? |
20711 | What is there in this world worth having without religion? |
20711 | What is this strange thing, without which even the true knowledge of doctrine is of no use? |
20711 | What is true rest? |
20711 | What matter? |
20711 | What must I do? |
20711 | What surely is a woman''s calling but to teach man? |
20711 | What was Christ''s life? |
20711 | Where Christ is they are; and, therefore, if Christ be there, may not they be there likewise? |
20711 | Which is Love? |
20711 | Whither am I going? |
20711 | Who can hear it? |
20711 | Who, save the Cause and Maker and Ruler of all things past, present, and to come? |
20711 | Whom can I love?" |
20711 | Why did Christ take up the cross? |
20711 | Why expect Wisdom with love in all? |
20711 | Why is not eternity to have action and change, yet both like God, compatible with rest and immutability? |
20711 | Why need we suppose that heaven is to be one vast lazy retrospect? |
20711 | Why not in you, my toiling brother? |
20711 | Why not? |
20711 | Why should they not feed our children''s? |
20711 | Why speak of the God of Nature and the God of grace as two antithetical terms? |
20711 | Why these fears? |
20711 | Wild, wild wind, wilt thou never cease thy sighing? |
20711 | Will there not be incident and action springing from these when the fate of this world is decided? |
20711 | Would you be humble, daughter? |
20711 | Wouldst thou be like God? |
20711 | Wrongs to be redrest-- are there none now? |
20711 | Yes, great railroads, and great railroad age, who would exchange you, with all your sins, for any other time? |
20711 | You ask,"What is the Good?" |
20711 | You will not see people as they seem-- as they have become, no doubt; but why? |
20711 | and God frowning, and the devil grinning? |
20711 | and if so, where is He? |
20711 | and more, which does not show itself in_ passion_ in the true sense of that word: namely, in suffering? |
20711 | and to teach him what? |
20711 | and why does the Eucharist"preserve our body and soul to everlasting life?" |
20711 | canna ye see it there? |
20711 | dreary March month, is this then a time for building wearily? |
20711 | for am I not''a part of all I see''? |
20711 | how long before Thou come again? |
20711 | in daring, in struggling, in grieving, in agonising, and, if need be, in dying for the object of its love? |
20711 | is there no the heaven above them there, and the hell beneath them? |
20711 | oh, where? |
20711 | or are they not rather the moral world of right and wrong? |
20711 | that righteousness, and it alone, was the beautiful, righteousness the sublime, the heavenly, the God- like-- ay, God Himself? |
20711 | that thou hadst known-- even thou-- at least in this thy day-- the things which belong to thy peace"? |
20711 | where art Thou? |
20711 | why crush that voice in any heart? |
20711 | without which either a man or a nation is poor, and blind, and wretched, and naked in soul, notwithstanding all his religion? |
36476 | And tell me now, Brother Delworth,she said, after the first greetings were over,"where have you been all this time?" |
36476 | And you believe in Jesus Christ, do you not? |
36476 | Can this be Sister Patience? 36476 Can we think that it pleases his loving heart To cause us a moment''s pain? |
36476 | Do I believe on him? |
36476 | Do you know that I am a deserter from the United States Army? |
36476 | Grandma,said he,"there is plenty of room; why do you not set your basket down?" |
36476 | Have you trodden under foot the Son of God as herein mentioned? |
36476 | Is there a God that will love such a man as I am?--a man who curses him? 36476 Not even an obituary when you die?" |
36476 | Sister Tilton? 36476 Then,"she continued,"would you believe that your request would be granted?" |
36476 | Unseen and unknown? |
36476 | What can this mean? |
36476 | What church do you belong to? |
36476 | Why live so niggardly and poor? 36476 A PERFECT IDEAL Have there been times in your life when a glowing feeling crept into your heart and you beheld a vision of ideal perfection? 36476 A little later my father asked,Have you done what I told you?" |
36476 | After a while, she asked:"How was the meeting last night?" |
36476 | Ah, by the way, do you remember Sister Tilton? |
36476 | And again, should I be willing to give my life for lost sinners and have them scoff and spurn me? |
36476 | And how may I conduct myself so as to receive the benefit?" |
36476 | And when you draw a little note, Why not a larger sum? |
36476 | Are you willing to give yourself up for his sake? |
36476 | As there was soon to be a meeting, he said in his letter,"Daughter, will you please have those good brethren and sisters pray for me? |
36476 | Could I be saved at all when in such a state? |
36476 | Did I need to repent, or only try to do better? |
36476 | Do you know what it means to give yourself up? |
36476 | Does it pay to use patience and prayer when dealing with precious souls? |
36476 | During the next forenoon Mother called me to her and said:"Do you know your father neither went to bed nor slept all last night?" |
36476 | For five hundred years Islam has been supreme in Turkey, the fairest and richest portion of the Old World, and what is the result today? |
36476 | Had the God of heaven, who is a present help in every time of trouble, stretched forth his loving hand to dry her tears of sorrow? |
36476 | Had"He who is touched with the feeling of our infirmities"comforted her heart? |
36476 | Have you made failures? |
36476 | He came up to the court- house and said:"You are a Jew, are you not?" |
36476 | He looked at me puzzled and said,"How can this be?" |
36476 | He said:"Are you a Jew and a believer in Jesus? |
36476 | Hence the best way to meet all such things is to bring them quickly to Father, not inquiring impatiently,"Why must I suffer so?" |
36476 | I have a never- failing bank, A more than golden store; No earthly bank is half so rich; How, then, can I be poor? |
36476 | I now asked myself this question:"How do you believe your mother''s promise?" |
36476 | I realized then the force of the Psalmist''s words,"If the foundations be removed, what shall the righteous do?" |
36476 | I was brought face to face with the supreme question, Are you ready to meet God? |
36476 | I went to the doctor''s office and said to him,"Dr. Estock, do you know what they do to a person that has deserted the United States Army?" |
36476 | Is it true that he will love me so?" |
36476 | It reads something like this:"Would you serve God only as he gives you pleasure in serving him?" |
36476 | Jones?" |
36476 | Making her way to him, she said:"Good morning, Brother, I have not met you before, have I?" |
36476 | My dear mother knelt by my side:"My boy,"she said,"if you should desire anything good that I could bestow upon you, would you ask me for it?" |
36476 | Now came the question,"Must I confess this deed to the church, to my neighbors, and to the world?" |
36476 | SEEING MY CONDITION As God revealed this precious truth, I felt as though some one had said of me,"Doth Job serve God for naught?" |
36476 | Since he knows all and has all power, can we not trust him when we give ourselves into his hands to be molded into his image to shine for him? |
36476 | Sometimes my Banker, smiling, says:"Why do n''t you oftener come? |
36476 | Soon after being introduced to our new surroundings, I was asked these three questions in succession:"Are you willing to stay here and work?" |
36476 | Soon the enemy began to suggest,"Where is your joy? |
36476 | Tell me, what is the source of your happiness?" |
36476 | The doctor prayed first, then his wife, and then his little boy, who said,"Lord Jesus, you have promised to save him; wo n''t you save him?" |
36476 | The thought came to me,"Can you not trust the Lord to carry you through all these difficulties?" |
36476 | These I was very anxious for others to see; for if they were good for me, why not for others also? |
36476 | Trials will come, but what of it? |
36476 | Were my careless actions and thoughtless words sins, or only mistakes? |
36476 | What is it that thou art endeavoring to do for me? |
36476 | When it was all finished, he looked at me with a smile, as if to say,"Did n''t they do well?" |
36476 | When the above- mentioned scripture came to me, the organ- key raised of its own accord, and I said,"Is there anything like that in the Bible?" |
36476 | When the paper came to me, I said to my father,"May I subscribe?" |
36476 | Whence came those agonizing groans, and whither had they flown? |
36476 | Why come and take a one- pound note, When you might have a twenty? |
36476 | Why did n''t he sleep?" |
36476 | Why should I, who longed to be a soul- winner, be a source of trial to others? |
36476 | Why should you thus bring feelings of reproach upon yourself and family? |
36476 | You were at Paldings? |
36476 | a man that stamped his Bible under his feet and fought against him? |
36476 | and do we Ever care to know Whether bitter herbs or roses In our neighbor''s garden grow?" |
36476 | but rather:"What is there in my nature that makes this suffering necessary? |
38818 | ''What is our_ aim_ in the Post Office Mission Work?'' 38818 Birds and flowers,"she said;"what could be more beautiful? |
38818 | Dark? |
38818 | Hard? |
38818 | Lonely? |
38818 | No help? |
38818 | There is none good but One,he said;"why callest thou me good?" |
38818 | Tired? |
38818 | ''What do Unitarians preach?'' |
38818 | ( Do you remember the day you baptized me and my three brothers and C---- at the Masonic Hall?) |
38818 | ( Starr King); and"What Do Unitarians Believe?" |
38818 | Am I not right? |
38818 | And what of that? |
38818 | Are you going to resume school after vacation again, or what do you intend to turn your attention to? |
38818 | Are you sick? |
38818 | C. A. Brigham, the''New Hampshire Statement of Belief,''and''What Do Unitarians Believe?'' |
38818 | Can we not say that these two did not live in vain? |
38818 | Can you not make it something as touching as''Miss Toosey,''and far more practical,--that is, for our own little household of faith?... |
38818 | Could she not go out into Ohio villages and hold lay services, reading the printed prayers and sermons of our Unitarian ministers? |
38818 | Did any one thing settle our doubts or questionings? |
38818 | Didst fancy life one summer holiday, With lessons none to learn, and nought but play? |
38818 | Didst fancy life was spent on beds of ease, Fluttering the rose- leaves scattered by the breeze? |
38818 | Didst fondly dream the sun would never set? |
38818 | Do you know it? |
38818 | Do you know of any low- priced publication which would give me a fair sketch of Theodore Parker''s life and thought? |
38818 | Do you not see why it is we have ceased to speak of it in sermons? |
38818 | Do you not take this view too?" |
38818 | Dost fear to lose thy way? |
38818 | E. E. Hale''s''Methods,''in''Register''a few weeks since? |
38818 | For all I enjoyed the previous sermon, I still thought,''They love God? |
38818 | Has been groping in the dark a long time, and wrote me,"When I read the pamphlet,''What Do Unitarians Believe?'' |
38818 | Have you ever come across Frances Power Cobbe''s''Duties of Women''? |
38818 | He encloses one of these articles,--subject,"Future or Everlasting Punishment: Which?" |
38818 | How do they bear them, and where do they get their patience and strength from? |
38818 | I must answer your question,"Why no denunciation of sin( by Unitarians)?" |
38818 | I never have known to what church he and his family belong, but have imagined the Presbyterian.... What church do you attend, and how old was Andrew? |
38818 | I received copies of Mr. Wendte''s sermon,''What do Unitarians Believe?'' |
38818 | I remember my thoughts then were about these,--''Christ they know? |
38818 | I would think,''How can I conscientiously be a Baptist and believe this way?'' |
38818 | If man had not been of the same nature as himself, would he have thus spoken? |
38818 | In her diary was a copy of this letter to Mr. Wendte, dated Feb. 21, 1878:--"Why not have a''Mission Sunday''sometime soon? |
38818 | Is it not the very time to get them started thinking in the right direction? |
38818 | It helps_ us_ to be good, to know that others are trying in the same way,--do you not think so? |
38818 | Mrs.----, will you at the next meeting of the Women''s Auxiliary Conference thank all the dear friends who have done so much for me? |
38818 | Next,''Why Am I a Unitarian?'' |
38818 | Now, do you not think for one who has always been more spiritually inclined, that I have taken quite_ too_ much to money matters? |
38818 | Now, do you not think this a far higher way of converting men than by dwelling on their weaknesses? |
38818 | Or might she not open a reading- room in the church, to be kept open all the week, where the treasures of Unitarian literature could be dispensed? |
38818 | Since I wrote you, have had presented to our library Sunderland''s"What is the Bible?" |
38818 | Tell me, do the majority of Unitarian ministers believe in the resurrection of Jesus; that he healed the leper, cast out devils, and raised Lazarus? |
38818 | Thanksgiving naturally makes us ask,"What have I to be thankful for?" |
38818 | The best comfort for us is, to say to ourselves, Are not many,_ many_ others carrying the same burdens, disappointments, and toils as we? |
38818 | The hymn referred to is the one,"God Ever Near,"by T. H. Gill, beginning:--"What secret place, what distant star, O Lord of all, is thine abode?" |
38818 | Think you not so? |
38818 | This leads me to your question,"What do you do with the Immaculate Conception? |
38818 | WHAT OF THAT? |
38818 | Well, what of that? |
38818 | Well, what of that? |
38818 | Well, what of that? |
38818 | What are the qualifications necessary for the Unitarian ministry? |
38818 | When you have finished such a book the query comes,"Is it fact?" |
38818 | Who can say it is? |
38818 | Who can tell, when a mind gives up its beliefs, where it will stop? |
38818 | Why should she talk about it? |
38818 | Why was that way employed to compel people to accept the divinity of Christ?" |
38818 | Will you not send me a sketch of her life and work for the next number of the"Unitarian"? |
38818 | Will you please tell me? |
38818 | Women all try to attend to too much outside of their households, for the sake of company and variety; do you not think so? |
38818 | [ 5]"How shalt thou bear the cross which now So dread a weight appears? |
38818 | _ February 20._ Sermon to- day on"Are ye good Hearers?" |
22482 | Do you think him beyond further effort? |
22482 | If ye love them who love you, what do ye more than others? |
22482 | Is Saul also among the prophets? |
22482 | Know ye not that whoever will be the friend of the world is the enemy of God? |
22482 | To you is it nothing, all ye that pass by? |
22482 | What is there in him or about him to explain his success? |
22482 | What must I do to be saved? |
22482 | What must I do to be saved? |
22482 | You have been told,says Jesus,"to love your neighbour"; and to the question,"Who is my neighbour?" |
22482 | ''WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?'' |
22482 | A DEVIL''S TRINITY"Know ye not that ye are a temple of God?" |
22482 | And how are we to get it into our possession? |
22482 | And how is it redeemed, even in the case of the latter? |
22482 | And is it not true? |
22482 | And so when the people exclaimed in astonishment:"Is Saul also among the prophets?" |
22482 | And then the further question forced itself-- Why, in so many cases, and to all human seeming, is it just that-- nothing? |
22482 | And what about feeling or emotion, which is usually represented as a vital part of the driving power of Christian life and conduct? |
22482 | And what can not love do? |
22482 | And what does God love in us? |
22482 | And what does it mean when these men are, by the acknowledgment of public sentiment, the representatives of what is called"legitimate business"? |
22482 | And who is responsible for it? |
22482 | And why are they so patient? |
22482 | And why do they not choose? |
22482 | Are they always sure of that? |
22482 | As we can settle nothing but ourselves, why not settle ourselves as comfortably as we can?" |
22482 | But does that which wakes love put it there? |
22482 | But how far is that? |
22482 | But how few people, past a given age, ever do quite conquer the inward foes whose sinister power is of their own cultivation? |
22482 | But how much may have been done, for better or for worse, before we realize that the angels have gone away only because they were never here? |
22482 | But some one must speak, and to whom does the duty fall, if not upon him whose calling it is to stand between the quick and the dead? |
22482 | But this is the question: Have they who compose this lonely and sombre procession no claims upon their Maker in the meanwhile? |
22482 | But what proportion do they bear to the legions who, once in Ur of the Chaldees, have neither thought nor desire for a better country? |
22482 | But what, in the next place, is our part in this matter? |
22482 | But what, you ask me, are we to say about sudden conversions, of which we once heard so much, and which we are still taught to seek and expect? |
22482 | But when this is said, the surest and simplest answer to the question, What is it in ourselves we are to love? |
22482 | But who is thy neighbour? |
22482 | But why pile up the odds, that start you never will; or that you will not go far if you do? |
22482 | Can I help you? |
22482 | Can we conceive of it as having any part in the economy of the Kingdom which Jesus came to establish on the earth? |
22482 | Can we marvel why the Christ is still despised and rejected? |
22482 | DOES GOD HAVE FAIR- PLAY? |
22482 | Do we desire life? |
22482 | Do we think that God wills it? |
22482 | Do we want to be saved? |
22482 | Do you believe the first part of this statement? |
22482 | Do you say that you have felt nothing of this convicting and convincing power? |
22482 | Does any one say, I ask again, that he has never had this impulse? |
22482 | For what? |
22482 | From what, I repeat, are we to be saved? |
22482 | Has God been faithful to us; and if so, are we justified in assuming that the same faithfulness is the experience of others? |
22482 | Have we never known lives changed, and indeed transformed by a new affection? |
22482 | Have we to explain to a child the mechanism of its limbs before it can attempt to walk? |
22482 | Have we to wait for something, or have we to do something to make it a real experience? |
22482 | Have you ever tried to know yourself even as you are known? |
22482 | How is this power to come? |
22482 | How many of us have read this man''s life- finish? |
22482 | How may we give the words a useful setting, as a remembrancer and a call to the young men of to- day? |
22482 | How often is it that their chance has been and gone, without their knowing it? |
22482 | How, to use a better term, are we to realize it? |
22482 | I may not be able to explain His grace to the satisfaction of others; but will others explain me to my own?" |
22482 | IX''WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?'' |
22482 | If as the beginning is, so must the end be, what are we to say of a man''s will? |
22482 | If it be asked:"Why the possibility at all?" |
22482 | If this is so, how are we to read those old words that"chance happeneth to them all"? |
22482 | If, then, these latter remarks can carry the weight I want them to bear, what of those that have preceded them? |
22482 | In the meantime, then, instead of asking, how can God be God and permit wrong to be in the world? |
22482 | In weariness and despair we ask:"Why should we war with evil? |
22482 | In what sense is a man to love himself? |
22482 | Instead of multiplying words to no profit over the old question, Why all this misery and suffering? |
22482 | Is it possible to do it? |
22482 | Is it possible, then, to bring down this command and incarnate it in our daily life? |
22482 | Is it wrong to cultivate and indulge a habit that inevitably leads to bad results? |
22482 | Is some new thing added to life? |
22482 | Is there anything mysterious in this; anything we may not understand? |
22482 | It is because we can do wrong that we can do right; and if we think about this, may we not think hopefully? |
22482 | It is to take the sting of death out of the old evil question:"Who does it?" |
22482 | It was a message, so he felt, to shake men, to arouse them, and make them turn on one another and cry:"Men and brethren, what must we do?" |
22482 | Long as men are willingly in their sin-- which means selfishness in all its deadly forms-- can we wonder at the unbelief portrayed on that canvas? |
22482 | May I counsel you to think about what has been said? |
22482 | Must it annex the whole low plane of such a squalid disposition? |
22482 | Must my love for my neighbour include one callous enough, not only to do a thing like that, but to boast about it? |
22482 | Now is your accepted time--"Are you in earnest? |
22482 | Put religion out of the question, and do we find that the prizes of the world offer us easier terms? |
22482 | Rather will it be, Who can afford not to do it? |
22482 | SELF- RESPECT AND COMPANIONSHIPS"Is Saul also among the prophets?" |
22482 | Should any one ask,"Who does it?" |
22482 | So long as men are indifferent about the very question, Why that anguish? |
22482 | Strong in what sense? |
22482 | Take any wrong that happens to appeal to your sense of indignation, and ask why it continues? |
22482 | That circumstances may use him, but they shall not make him? |
22482 | That sounds formidable, but to what does it amount? |
22482 | The battle is hard, at times very hard, but what battle is not hard that is worth winning? |
22482 | Their meaning is better represented in a question like this:"How comes a person of such distinction to find himself in such disreputable company?" |
22482 | Then I ask: Have you ever passed through an hour of serious inquest with your own soul? |
22482 | Then about feeling: Is there one of us who can say, that he, or she, has never had the impulse that should lead to Christian decision? |
22482 | Then what about the end? |
22482 | This hints to us the answer to the question, Have we to do something that salvation may become a known and felt reality? |
22482 | Unless this be so, what are we to say of the multitudes which sit in darkness and the shadow of death? |
22482 | Very well, take the initial letter from the word, and what have you left? |
22482 | Was He original in His teaching, as we use the word, or was He eclectic, gathering together the most luminous things that had been said? |
22482 | We are to be saved from what? |
22482 | We say:"How does this come to pass? |
22482 | Were not the mighty men of the great nineteenth century aged men, if we count age only by shadows on the dial? |
22482 | What are we to say about the power and working of divine grace? |
22482 | What can make me whole again? |
22482 | What is the difference between the two? |
22482 | What is the explanation?" |
22482 | What of that? |
22482 | What other proof of wrong does a right- minded person ask? |
22482 | What was that cause? |
22482 | What was the fashioning hand behind the effect? |
22482 | What, I ask again, can not love do? |
22482 | What, I ask in all faithfulness, are we doing to make real and living to men the presence of a Lord who is ever suffering in their sin and for it? |
22482 | What, or where, is the wrong in such a transaction?" |
22482 | What, then, is our testimony? |
22482 | While always trying to think fairly, and even generously about others, have you the right to think well of yourselves? |
22482 | While there is life, does there ever come a time when it is no longer true to say that out of it can pass the old, or into it can come the new? |
22482 | Why is it that a few have so much more than they can use, and so many have less than they need? |
22482 | Why is it that they do not come unto Him that they may have life? |
22482 | Why should they be so chronically patient? |
22482 | Why should they be so long ignorant? |
22482 | Why should you not? |
22482 | Why wait, then, for what is waiting for us? |
22482 | Why? |
22482 | Will he show that kicked he may be, but ball he is not? |
22482 | Would you hold me true in saying that anybody might have anticipated the discovery of wireless telegraphy? |
22482 | X DOES GOD HAVE FAIR- PLAY? |
22482 | X DOES GOD HAVE FAIR- PLAY? |
22482 | and into what are we to be saved? |
22482 | in what does it get its lease of existence? |
22482 | they did not mean:"How is it that such a worldly- minded man finds himself in the company of such pious people?" |
22482 | vain is the appeal,"To you is it nothing your Saviour should die?" |
45272 | And he spoke a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind, shall they not both fall into the ditch? |
45272 | How oft shall I or my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? |
45272 | _ How oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? 45272 A passage from the Bible comes immediately to mind, does it not? 45272 And what nation has ever become so enslaved in the process? 45272 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? 45272 Blind men may be excellent guides,( and in the last analysis are n''t we all blind?) 45272 But do n''t you see? 45272 But has n''t it? 45272 But have these curses disappeared from the earth? 45272 But since that time how can man plead ignorance? 45272 But who is there among us now that does not feel the burden of human war and peace? 45272 But will they go through with the whole story? 45272 Ca n''t the welfare of our children be a matter of united action? 45272 Difficult to forgive ourselves? 45272 Do we try and cultivate our ability to agree when we can, to see the scope of our common aims, or are we consistently developing our divergences? 45272 Do you as an individual want to grow in wisdom and stature? 45272 Does n''t the Lord''s prayer set a condition to his forgiveness of trespasses that we forgive those who trespass against us? 45272 Does that come from the suppression of the demands of labor or the abolition of the guidance of management? 45272 Does that signify the end of suffering, or is there here an Easter meaning for these times more potent and impelling than ever Lent has brought? 45272 Finally, will they depart into their own country another way or will they return to Herod? 45272 Have they come primarily to get or to give? 45272 Have they not in many respects grown worse? 45272 Have they the courage of their convictions? 45272 How far do you think you can get without the insights and understanding of others? 45272 How many good people were duped by Franco merely because he proclaimed allegiance to the church and Christianity? 45272 How many of us spoke enthusiastically of Mussolini because Italian trains began running on time and beggars disappeared from the steps of cathedrals? 45272 How many well meaning people are fooled by the devil in all his guises? 45272 How much wisdom have you acquired all by yourself apart from the experiences of humanity that you have met in books or face to face? 45272 Is it just a coincidence that there were two blind men in this story and not just one? 45272 Love''s work is done? 45272 Serfdom and slavery were evil, so men broke away and became free; but free for what? 45272 The battle won? 45272 This being the case, where are man''s unifying efforts particularly needed today? 45272 Till seven times?_When Peter asked this leading question he may have been trying to seem magnanimous. |
45272 | Visions of peace and a world made new-- what greater need today has the strife- ridden world than this? |
45272 | We have proclaimed the magnificence of our reception but have we ever really received him? |
45272 | What then is peace? |
45272 | Who is there that has not needed friendship to take the place of loss, that has not looked for counsel and strength beyond the limits of his own life? |
45272 | Why is it that such extraordinary acts of fortitude in plain can take place in wartime? |
45272 | Why not spend more time and thought rejoicing in and applying the unity that already exists instead of magnifying our differences? |
45272 | Will they come in a spirit of humility or will they come with pride in their own might and sovereignty? |
45272 | Would he be recognized in his true colors? |
30768 | Do n''t you know whether it is good or bad? |
30768 | Do you know where the snags and sand- bars are? |
30768 | Have you ever heard the gospel? |
30768 | Have you heard the report? |
30768 | How much? |
30768 | No sir,"Well, how do you expect to take me out of here if you do n''t know where the snags and sand- bars are? |
30768 | Remember, I pray thee,said one of them,"who ever perished, being innocent? |
30768 | What is his name? |
30768 | What is the value of this estate? |
30768 | What kind of seed? |
30768 | Why do you ask? |
30768 | Why has he wings on his feet? |
30768 | Why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie unto( deceive) the Holy Ghost? 30768 Why is his face hidden?" |
30768 | Why not? |
30768 | Will you drive the nail into the board? |
30768 | ''My child,''He said,''what is the matter?'' |
30768 | ''Yes, father,''I said,''but ca n''t you help me out?'' |
30768 | ''Yes,''I answered,''I fell into it; ca n''t you help me out?'' |
30768 | A man said to me some time ago,"Why is it that we can not get honest clerks now?" |
30768 | A man said to me some years ago:"Do n''t you think David fell as low as Saul?" |
30768 | After the meeting, a friend stepped up to him and said:"What is your trouble?" |
30768 | Ah, who shall thus the Master meet, And bring but withered leaves? |
30768 | And do I show less love for him because I warn him against actions that will bring a harvest of misery and despair? |
30768 | And how does it propose to do it? |
30768 | And on the other hand, of prayer, of fearing God and doing His commandments? |
30768 | And what does Paul say are the works of the flesh? |
30768 | Are they straight? |
30768 | Are we hoping to reap eternal life? |
30768 | Are you leading the little ones safe to the Great Shepherd? |
30768 | Are you setting your children a good or a bad example? |
30768 | As a certain deacon passed on his way to church, he followed and said,"Deacon, can you tell me how far it is to hell?" |
30768 | At the time of harvest his master went to the place, and, seeing the green oats springing up, asked him:"Did I not tell you to sow barley here? |
30768 | Boating, fishing, hunting, or on excursions? |
30768 | But what became of the old man? |
30768 | Ca n''t you help me out?'' |
30768 | Can you turn to any walking behind you and say:"Follow me as I follow Christ?" |
30768 | Come, my friend, what kind of seed are you sowing? |
30768 | Did He not warn? |
30768 | Did not God make Adam reap even before he left Eden? |
30768 | Do we desire the love of our fellows in our seasons of trial? |
30768 | Do we long for sympathy in our sorrow and pain? |
30768 | Do you doubt it? |
30768 | Do you fancy that He will pay spiritual excellence with plenty of custom? |
30768 | Do you never write home to your parents? |
30768 | Do you not believe it? |
30768 | Do you read any literature that makes your thoughts impure? |
30768 | Do you spend your time at the saloon or the club, until you have become almost a stranger to them? |
30768 | Do you tell me God does n''t detest it also? |
30768 | Do you think ministers are old fogies-- that the Bible belongs to the dark ages? |
30768 | Does he always reap punishment here? |
30768 | Does not the drunkard make his wife and children reap a bitter harvest? |
30768 | Does not the gambler make his relatives reap? |
30768 | Does not the harlot make her parents reap agony and shame? |
30768 | Eventually a hard- looking fellow came on board and said:"Captain, I understand you want a pilot to take you out of this difficulty?" |
30768 | Father, mother, neighbor, are your tracks true? |
30768 | Father, what seed are you sowing in your family? |
30768 | Had not Cain to reap outside of Eden? |
30768 | Had they not to reap a multiplied harvest? |
30768 | Has France not reaped? |
30768 | Have you been living a double life? |
30768 | Have you been making a profession without possessing what you profess? |
30768 | Have you ever heard of the like?" |
30768 | Have you never noticed the same thing about the mind and the heart? |
30768 | He thought,"Shall I lie for my employer, as he undoubtedly means I shall; or shall I tell the truth, come what will?" |
30768 | He was asked:"What did you go into secession for?" |
30768 | His master said,"What foolish idea is this? |
30768 | How can I harmonize the doctrine of forgiveness with the doctrine of retribution? |
30768 | How could it be otherwise? |
30768 | How do you spend the Sabbath? |
30768 | I have a wife and three children; how can I bring the disgrace upon them?" |
30768 | I said,"Why do n''t you go back and give yourself up and face the law, and ask God to forgive you?" |
30768 | I said:"What is it?" |
30768 | I say to my man:"Do you know anything about the thistles in the field?" |
30768 | I would ask them,"Why wo n''t you come to the church?" |
30768 | If God did not spare David, do you think He will spare us if we fall into sin and do not confess and turn from our sins? |
30768 | If a friend of mine were about to invest in a worthless silver- mine, do you think I would be true to him if I did not caution him against it? |
30768 | Many a time I have had men say,"You think Jacob was a saint, do n''t you? |
30768 | My brother, do you think that God is going to reward honor, integrity, high- mindedness, with this world''s coin? |
30768 | My friend, why not call on God now as David did when he came to himself? |
30768 | My friend,_ what kind of seed are you sowing?_ Let your mind sweep over your record for the past year. |
30768 | Nothing but leaves? |
30768 | On another occasion they gathered round Him and asked,"How long dost thou hold us in suspense? |
30768 | One day, when this man was in hiding, he heard his little boy say:"Mamma, does n''t papa love us any more?" |
30768 | Perhaps he was a sort of a Cainite, saying,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
30768 | Speaking of his reckless career, he said:"How could it be otherwise, when I had such bad training? |
30768 | Suppose I meet a man who is sowing seed, and say:"Hello, stranger, what are you sowing?" |
30768 | Tell me, are these beans the same quality throughout the entire barrel as they appear on the top?" |
30768 | Tell me, how do you spend your spare time? |
30768 | Telling vile stories, polluting the minds of others, while your own mind is also polluted? |
30768 | The captain said,"Are you a pilot?" |
30768 | The child of my love and prayer? |
30768 | The clerk seeing this, said:"Do you think, sir, that it is right to mark those beans A 1?" |
30768 | The employer retorted sharply:"Are you head of the firm?" |
30768 | The employer said to him:"Did you sell that man those beans?" |
30768 | They clothed you and educated you, and now do you spend your nights in gambling? |
30768 | To whom are their daughters married? |
30768 | Was anybody ever more severe in denouncing hypocrisy than Christ? |
30768 | Was it to go unpunished? |
30768 | What are its fruits? |
30768 | What are the fruits of extravagance, of pride, of covetousness? |
30768 | What are the fruits of heathenism? |
30768 | What brought ruin on Babylon? |
30768 | What does he gain? |
30768 | What has become of Greece and all her power? |
30768 | What has become of Rome and all her greatness? |
30768 | What has become of the Jews? |
30768 | What has become of the monarchies and empires of the world? |
30768 | What has been the harvest? |
30768 | What kind of seed are you sowing, my friend, good seed or bad seed? |
30768 | What must be the intelligence and moral sense of people who will worship such things? |
30768 | What was to be the result of this attack? |
30768 | What will the harvest be? |
30768 | What would a man do in heaven who can not bear to be in the society of the pure and holy down here? |
30768 | Where are my friends? |
30768 | Where are the sons of liquor dealers? |
30768 | Who has not proved the truth of the Scripture:"The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?" |
30768 | Who warns like a mother, and who loves like a mother? |
30768 | Who would have expected this result of the world or of riches? |
30768 | Why continue to sear you conscience, and sow the seeds of keener remorse? |
30768 | Why, then, have you sown oats?" |
30768 | Will it be a black harvest, or are you going to have a joyful harvest? |
30768 | Will these non- Christian religions bear the test? |
30768 | Will you imperil your eternity for the sake of some present gain or pleasure? |
30768 | Will you part with that for his harvest?" |
30768 | With a great deal of emotion he said:"Young men, for the first time in my life this question came over me-- who is going to pray for my lost soul now? |
30768 | Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words? |
30768 | You would say that he was a first- class lunatic, would n''t you? |
30768 | Young man, are you letting some secret sin get the mastery over you, binding you hand and foot? |
30768 | can you help me?'' |
30768 | or are you training them for God and righteousness? |
30768 | or where were the righteous cut off? |
30768 | said Coleridge,"would you have me prejudice the ground in favor of roses and lilies?" |
30768 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
30768 | why not make it on your knees now? |
55818 | And he asks if the rite could not be one day earlier or later, and why those"who lived before Moses""observed no Sabbaths?" |
55818 | And how does Tertullian answer this grave charge? |
55818 | But should not the traditions of the third century be esteemed sufficient authority for calling Sunday the Lord''s day? |
55818 | But to say something against the Sabbath, Justin asks:--"Did God wish the priests to sin when they offer the sacrifices on the Sabbaths? |
55818 | But upon the other asking,''which?'' |
55818 | But when this is accepted as the truth who can tell what they mean by what they say? |
55818 | Do not many among you, with an affectation of sometimes worshiping the heavenly bodies likewise, move your lips in the direction of the sunrise? |
55818 | Do you do less than this? |
55818 | Do you[ heathen] do less than this?" |
55818 | Does that mean, then, that he is still making heaven, or sun, or man, or animals, or trees, or any such thing? |
55818 | Dost thou wish that he should prepare for me, who is setting before him his burial? |
55818 | For what great thing is it, if a man restrains himself in what he knows not? |
55818 | He then protests against Sabbatic observance as follows:--"Do you see that the elements are not idle, and keep no Sabbaths? |
55818 | Shall we accept this festival which they offer to us on the authority of their apostolic tradition? |
55818 | So he retorts thus:"What then? |
55818 | Trypho asks Justin whether those who believe in Christ, and obey him, but who wish to"observe these[ institutions] will be saved?" |
55818 | Trypho replied,"Why then have you said,''In my opinion, such an one will be saved,''unless there are some who affirm that such will not be saved?" |
55818 | What sayest thou of the Lord''s day? |
55818 | What then? |
55818 | What work? |
55818 | Wherefore, then, were they blameless? |
42558 | And what makes you like Sunday? |
42558 | Are you sure the book is bad? |
42558 | But what said he in the midst? |
42558 | How is that? |
42558 | Then why do you not seize the Author of it if it is a bad book? |
42558 | Well, what was the text? |
42558 | Well,asked the preacher,"what part of the sermon do you recollect?" |
42558 | Well,said the nobleman,"but you should not have struck it on the head with the halberd; why did you not hit it with the handle?" |
42558 | What was the subject? |
42558 | What will it be? |
42558 | What, then, was his conclusion? |
42558 | And the root, whom did that set forth? |
42558 | And who was the trunk of the tree? |
42558 | And who were the next? |
42558 | And who were these small branches of the tree? |
42558 | Are there not some who act thus toward the truths of revelation? |
42558 | Are you not going to have any dinner?" |
42558 | Can you imagine what the gun and the dog had to do with mushrooms? |
42558 | Could this prince, when arrived at his father''s house, please himself with the delights of the court and forget the distress of his family? |
42558 | Did he not say to his disciples,"Ye are the light of the world"? |
42558 | Did not Dives and Lazarus actually figure on the stage of history? |
42558 | Does she remember any of the remarks that were made? |
42558 | Have I lived all these years for you, and now must I leave you?" |
42558 | Have you not seen it, brethren? |
42558 | He asks her,"How did you enjoy last Sabbath''s discourses?" |
42558 | He kept taking them up, and saying,"Must I leave you? |
42558 | How could he dare, they asked, to put his own name on the image of a god? |
42558 | Is it a bad book?" |
42558 | Massa,"said the negro,"do n''t you know what comes before de Epistle to de Romans? |
42558 | May not the rich fool who said,"Take thine ease,"have been a photograph taken from life? |
42558 | May not the story of the Prodigal Son have been a literal truth? |
42558 | Must I leave you? |
42558 | Now I want to attract his attention; how shall I do it? |
42558 | Oh, will not some of you take him into your hearts? |
42558 | One boy whom I had in the class used to say to me,"This is very dull, teacher; ca n''t you pitch us a yarn?" |
42558 | Or, sometimes, I may give you the object without the subject, thus--"A diamond; how will you use that as an illustration?" |
42558 | Shall I put a bit of Latin into the sermon, or quote the original Hebrew or Greek of my text? |
42558 | So he went down to the prior, and said,"Do n''t the brethren eat here? |
42558 | So, when I have to deal with sin, some people say,"Why do n''t you address it delicately? |
42558 | That is a good story of the boy in Italy who had his Testament seized, and who said to the_ gendarme_,"Why do you seize this book? |
42558 | There were certain dead logs of wood: whom were they to represent? |
42558 | They say,"How do you make these two things agree?" |
42558 | WHERE CAN WE FIND ANECDOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS? |
42558 | WHERE CAN WE FIND ANECDOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS? |
42558 | Were there not actual instances of an enemy sowing tares among the wheat? |
42558 | What do you remember best in the discourses you heard years ago? |
42558 | What finer exposition of the text,"Weep with them that weep,"can you have than this pretty anecdote? |
42558 | What is the use of pulling the end of your thread through the material on which you are working? |
42558 | What shall I do? |
42558 | Where have they gone all that while? |
42558 | Who can possibly read the old classic tales without feeling his soul on fire? |
42558 | Who were the larger ones? |
42558 | Why do n''t you speak to it in courtly language?" |
42558 | Why does he speak of seeing with the eyelids? |
42558 | Why does not somebody write"A Tour Round my Dining- Table,"or,"A Tour Round my Kitchen"? |
42558 | Yet, has it not been the case with very many of the sermons to which we have listened, or the discourses we have ourselves delivered? |
33742 | Also the Devil tempted the poor Soul, saying to it in the earthly thoughts:"Why dost thou pray? |
33742 | And couldst thou desire anything less? |
33742 | And how can this be taken? |
33742 | And how doth a Man this_ so_, as that he doth it to Christ himself? |
33742 | And how shall I come at the hidden Centre, where God dwelleth, and not Man? |
33742 | And how shall it be remedied? |
33742 | And if one of them might, can you ever make me believe that ever both should be here together? |
33742 | And what method must I take, whereby to arrive at this sovereignty? |
33742 | And what, O my Master, would become of me, if I should ever attain with my mind to that where no creature is? |
33742 | And whither, I pray, should it go? |
33742 | But how cometh this entering of the Will into Heaven to pass? |
33742 | But how finds he_ Nothing_? |
33742 | But how shall I find the nearest way to it? |
33742 | But in that thou sayest, Why do not the Souls which are without God feel Hell in this World? |
33742 | But what would then become of the Body, seeing that it must of necessity live in_ Creature_? |
33742 | But will not this destroy Nature? |
33742 | But, alas, poor man that I am, how is this possible as to me? |
33742 | Consider but what thoughts thou hast in his presence; are they not altogether evil? |
33742 | DISCIPLE And how can this be without dying, or the whole destruction of my Will? |
33742 | DISCIPLE But how can these two subsist together, that a person should both_ love_ and_ hate_ himself? |
33742 | DISCIPLE But how shall I be able to_ break_ this creaturely will which is in me, and is at enmity with the Divine Will? |
33742 | DISCIPLE But how shall I comprehend it? |
33742 | DISCIPLE But if the Love should proffer itself to a Soul, could not that Soul find it, nor lay hold of it, without going for it into Nothing? |
33742 | DISCIPLE But wherewith shall I hear and see God, forasmuch as he is above Nature and Creature? |
33742 | DISCIPLE Dear Master, pray tell me how I may understand this? |
33742 | DISCIPLE How can I hear him speak, when I stand still from thinking and willing? |
33742 | DISCIPLE How can it ever be that I should love that which hates me? |
33742 | DISCIPLE How is it that he can get his good friends into his possession? |
33742 | DISCIPLE How is it that so few Souls do find it, when yet all would be glad enough to have it? |
33742 | DISCIPLE If it dwell only in Nothing, what is now the office of it in Nothing? |
33742 | DISCIPLE Is that where no Creature dwelleth near at hand, or is it afar off? |
33742 | DISCIPLE O where is this naked Ground of the Soul void of all Self? |
33742 | DISCIPLE O, loving Master, how shall I understand this? |
33742 | DISCIPLE Pray tell me, dear Master, where dwelleth it_ in Man_? |
33742 | DISCIPLE Pray what is the virtue, the power, the height, and the greatness of Love? |
33742 | DISCIPLE Pray, how is that? |
33742 | DISCIPLE What is it that I must thus leave? |
33742 | DISCIPLE What now hinders or keeps me back, so that I can not come to_ that_, wherewith God is to be seen and heard? |
33742 | DISCIPLE Where is that in a Man, when Man dwelleth not in himself? |
33742 | DISCIPLE Where is the Ground in any Soul, to which there will nothing stick? |
33742 | DISCIPLE Why not, if the Love should be willing and ready to offer itself, and to stay with them? |
33742 | Do I rightly understand? |
33742 | Does not every man, who has lived his full life, know the truth and reality of all this? |
33742 | Dost thou think that God knoweth thee or regardeth thee? |
33742 | Doth not the melody of them all proceed from his Power, and do they not sport before him? |
33742 | Doth the Spirit of God reprove them for not bringing their voices into one harmony? |
33742 | Doth thy Will go forth from the creatures? |
33742 | For if any liveth in God, and willeth with God, what needeth he dispute about God, who, or what God is? |
33742 | For where must all the intellectual inhabitants of it abide? |
33742 | Hath not Christ paid the ransom and satisfied for all men? |
33742 | How can we judge what we have not understood? |
33742 | How is that possible? |
33742 | How not, said the inquisitive Junius, must not the Soul leave the body at death and go either to Heaven or Hell? |
33742 | Is it not surely worth thy while, and all that thou canst ever do? |
33742 | MASTER Son, why art thou so dispirited? |
33742 | Must I not cry out,_ I am undone_? |
33742 | Now what did he under this most terrible assault both from without and within? |
33742 | O how may I arrive at the Unity of Will, and how come into the Unity of Vision? |
33742 | O what shall I do, that I may reach this which I so much long for? |
33742 | Or what needeth any understanding Spirit to be kept here or there, in order to its happiness or misery? |
33742 | Or where is that which abideth and dwelleth not in something? |
33742 | Or, must not the outward Life hence perish, with the earthly body which I carry? |
33742 | SCHOLAR How shall all people and nations be brought to judgment? |
33742 | SCHOLAR How will the sentence be pronounced? |
33742 | SCHOLAR Shall all then have eternal joy and glorification alike? |
33742 | SCHOLAR Shall we not rise again with our visible bodies, and live in them for ever? |
33742 | SCHOLAR What shall be after this World, when all things perish and come to an end? |
33742 | SCHOLAR What then is the Body of Man? |
33742 | SCHOLAR Wherefore then doth God suffer such strife and contention to be in this time? |
33742 | SCHOLAR With what matter and form shall the human Body rise? |
33742 | THE DEVIL SAID How wilt thou see and speculate into them, when thou canst not know their essence and property? |
33742 | THE DISTRESSED SOUL SAID What then shall I do to bud forth again, and recover the first Life, wherein I was at rest before I became an Image? |
33742 | THE SOUL SAID How may I come to know their essence and property? |
33742 | Tell me plainly, loving Sir, where it is, and how it is to be found of me, and entered into? |
33742 | The_ Scholar_ thanked his Master for this liberty and said: How far then are Heaven and Hell asunder? |
33742 | Thou hast no faith or belief in God at all; how then should he hear thee? |
33742 | Understandest thou this? |
33742 | What Place can bound a Thought? |
33742 | What am I to do in this case? |
33742 | What can I say more? |
33742 | What dost thou suppose will become of thee, if thou turn to be so stupid and melancholy? |
33742 | What dost thou? |
33742 | What is then required of me in order to admit this Breaker of the partition, and to promote the attainment of the ends of such admission? |
33742 | What is there required of thee but to stand still and see the salvation of thy God? |
33742 | What must I do to get it? |
33742 | What then dwelleth in such a Creature as this? |
33742 | What, can Heaven and Hell be here present, where we are now sitting? |
33742 | What, therefore, must I do with this body, that I may be able to keep up so desirable a conversation, and not to be under subjection to it any longer? |
33742 | Where is the hardship in this? |
33742 | Wherefore, I say, are Love and Trouble thus joined? |
33742 | Who judgeth or condemneth the birds in the woods that praise the Lord of all Beings with various voices, every one in its own essence? |
33742 | Who knows what stands behind this man? |
33742 | Why dost thou torment thyself in thy own Power and Will, seeing thy torment increaseth thereby more and more? |
33742 | Why then should they contend about him in_ Whom they live and have their being_, and of whose substance they themselves are? |
33742 | Will not the Light of Nature in me be extinguished by this greater Light? |
33742 | Wilt thou be mad? |
33742 | Wilt thou destroy thyself in thy anguish and sorrow? |
33742 | Would not Love alone be better? |
14072 | How could death devour, how could those below receive, how could corruption invade, THAT BODY, in which life was received? 14072 How is it that ye sought me? |
14072 | How is it that ye sought me? 14072 Jesus and Mary?!" |
14072 | Quomodo corruptio invaderet CORPUS ILLUD in quo vita suscepta est? 14072 Who would not wonder on hearing us called Atheists? |
14072 | Whom have ye seen, ye shepherds? 14072 --Can this be right? 14072 A monk, under[ the garb of?] 14072 After the quotation he says,What can be clearer?" |
14072 | Altogether to that which shall be somewhere punished? |
14072 | Altogether to that which shall be somewhere punished? |
14072 | And to what do they amount? |
14072 | And what do those works present to us, on the subject of the Invocation and worship of the Virgin Mary? |
14072 | And what is the tendency of this service? |
14072 | Are they so revealed? |
14072 | As they burst in, and some shouted with a voice of phrenzy,"Where is the traitor?" |
14072 | But by a consciousness of this liability in all things human, must we be tempted to suppress the truth? |
14072 | But can this be so? |
14072 | But closing the holy volume, what light does primitive antiquity enable us to throw on this subject? |
14072 | But does Origen, therefore, countenance any invocation of them? |
14072 | But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? |
14072 | But then what becomes of his authority as a writer citing testimony? |
14072 | But what is the fact? |
14072 | But what? |
14072 | But, are you afraid to approach even Him? |
14072 | But, can this be right and safe? |
14072 | Can any words place more on an entire level with each other, the eternal Son of God and the Virgin? |
14072 | Can it stand this test? |
14072 | Can that worship become the disciples of the Gospel and the Cross, which addresses such prayers and such praises to the spirit of a mortal man? |
14072 | Can the army of angels be included in that description? |
14072 | Can this by any the most subtle refinement be understood to be a mere request to her to pray for us? |
14072 | Can we wonder that individuals, high in honour with that Church, have carried out the same worship to far greater lengths? |
14072 | Catholic, Apostolical? |
14072 | Closing the inspired volume, and seeking at the fountain- head for the evidence of Christian antiquity, what do we find? |
14072 | Could any of us address these same words to one of Christ''s ministers on earth? |
14072 | Could the beloved John, to whose kind and tender care our blessed Lord gave his mother of especial trust, have offered to her such a prayer as this? |
14072 | Could this come from one who invoked angels? |
14072 | Dicite quidnam vidistis? |
14072 | Did he teach his people to invoke Abraham? |
14072 | Do Catholics use stronger words than these? |
14072 | Do not ye, saith the Lord, despise one of the least of those who are in the Church? |
14072 | Does Gregory assure the faithful that he will implore in humble prayer of Peter and Paul? |
14072 | Does Gregory bid the faithful lift up their eyes to Mary the sole destroyer of heresies? |
14072 | Does this sound any thing at all like adoration or invocation? |
14072 | Either Abraham was in heaven in the presence of God, or not; if he was in heaven, why did not his descendants invoke his aid? |
14072 | For how could that authority, which derived its flesh from thy flesh, oppose thy power? |
14072 | For if the cause, yea, forasmuch as the cause makes the martyr, did ever a title of holy martyrs exist more glorious? |
14072 | For what are the circumstances of the parabolic representation? |
14072 | For what prayer can be more spiritual than that which is given to us by Christ, by whom even the Holy Spirit is sent to us? |
14072 | For what would he deny to Christ, who for Christ was about to shed his blood? |
14072 | How can this be? |
14072 | How much time intervened? |
14072 | How, in plain honesty, can we avoid coming to the same conclusion on the subject of the invocation of saints? |
14072 | In an act of all human acts the most solemn and holy, can recourse be had to such refinements without great danger? |
14072 | In terris quis apparuit? |
14072 | Is it possible to suppose that this teacher in Christ''s school had any idea of a Christian praying to saints or angels? |
14072 | Is the invocation of saints and angels and the blessed Virgin to be made an exception to this rule? |
14072 | Is this such an exposition as that the reason of a cultivated mind, and the faith of an enlightened Christian, can acquiesce in it? |
14072 | It was in answer to the remonstrance made by Mary,"Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |
14072 | It{ 261} will be well to place that hymn addressed to St. Peter, side by side with the very word of God, and then ask, Can this prayer be safe? |
14072 | Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
14072 | Knew ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
14072 | Now, on what authority does this doctrine rest? |
14072 | Of what saint in the calendar was ever such a thing as this spoken? |
14072 | On what foundation stone is this religious worship built? |
14072 | On what foundation, sure and certain, can we build our hopes that"He will favourably with mercy hear our prayers?" |
14072 | Or did St. Athanasius think or speak with us, or with Protestants?" |
14072 | Or, who are my brethren? |
14072 | Quantum temporis intercessit? |
14072 | Quomodo mois devoraret, quomodo inferi susciperent, quomodo corruptio invaderit CORPUS ILLUD in quo vita suscepta est? |
14072 | Rather, we would reverently ask, would He have given this turn to such an address, had He not desired to check any such feeling towards her? |
14072 | Say ye, tell ye, who hath appeared on the earth? |
14072 | Say ye, what saw ye? |
14072 | Subordinate to this, and necessary for its decision, was involved the question, What part of his nature, if any, Christ derived from the Virgin Mary? |
14072 | Such questions as these,"Is there any thing unreasonable in this? |
14072 | The answer of the tomb begins thus,"Why seek ye her in a tomb, who has been taken up on high to the heavenly tabernacles?" |
14072 | The greatness of his goodness who can adequately express?... |
14072 | This, then, is the account nearest to the time of the supposed event; and yet can any thing be more vague, and by way of testimony, more worthless? |
14072 | To what flesh? |
14072 | To what flesh? |
14072 | What can be a more true prayer with the Father than that which came from the lips of the Son, who is Truth? |
14072 | What could not such a Son obtain with such a Father? |
14072 | What has God promised? |
14072 | What has He commanded man to do? |
14072 | What has He taught man to hope for? |
14072 | What human faculty-- which among the most precious of the Almighty''s blessings is not liable to perversion? |
14072 | What impression was it likely to make, and to leave on minds of ordinary powers and instruction? |
14072 | What is revealed? |
14072 | What is there in reason or revelation to forbid me to do so?" |
14072 | What man, when he is in a foreign country, would not hasten to return to his native land?... |
14072 | What testimony do the first years and the first ages after the canon of Scripture was closed, bear upon this point? |
14072 | What unquestionable moral duty can be found, which has not been transformed by man''s waywardness into an instrument of evil? |
14072 | What word would not apply to Him, in most perfect accordance with Scripture language? |
14072 | Who can tell of the bond of the love of God? |
14072 | Who, without weeping, can relate the rest? |
14072 | Whom have I in heaven but Thee? |
14072 | Why did not the inspired David invoke the father of the faithful to intercede for him with God? |
14072 | Why do we not hasten and run that we may see our country, and salute our parents? |
14072 | Why do we spare ourselves? |
14072 | Why is no intimation given in the later books of the Old Testament that such supplications were offered to Moses, or Aaron, or Abraham, or Noah? |
14072 | Why should I attempt to enter heaven through any other gate than{ 398} that gate which the Lord of heaven has opened for me? |
14072 | Why then should a Christian wish to add to that which God has been pleased to appoint and to reveal? |
14072 | Will he now have less power and credit? |
14072 | Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
14072 | With the Christian the first question is, What is the truth? |
14072 | Would any difference have appeared in their external worship? |
14072 | Would not this be a welcome tenet, if true?" |
14072 | [ Footnote 95: Quem vidistis, Pastores? |
14072 | and whether St. Luke, whose pen wrote this account, could have been made cognizant of any such right invested in the Virgin? |
14072 | can such a call upon her to show her power and influence over the eternal Son of the eternal Father be fitting--"Show that thou art a mother?" |
14072 | or to discountenance the cultivation of those gifts and faculties? |
14072 | others,"Where is the Archbishop?" |
14072 | quid parcimus nobis? |
14072 | to disparage those moral duties? |
14072 | what will become of me, if thou do not exert, in my behalf, thy powerful influence with Jesus?... |
14072 | why should other forms of supplicating them be adopted, whose obvious and direct meaning implies a different thing? |
14072 | { 154} Why did he see not one, but many visions? |
14072 | { 299} But what is the real state of the case with regard to the fact of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary? |
14072 | { 304} Now, suppose for one moment that this came from the pen of Eusebius himself, to what does it amount? |
14072 | { 317} That the writers of the first four centuries should never have referred to such a fact? |
14072 | { 404} Quare non vidat unam, sed plurimas visiones? |
29450 | And what,he asks,"is green?" |
29450 | *** Can it be said that Union with God in this world entails upon us increased sufferings here? |
29450 | *** Dig deeply, and what do we find is at bottom our great, our persistent need? |
29450 | *** In all these experiences of the soul which has refound God, what is it that truly rejoices her? |
29450 | *** We say that we must find Christ; but where, and how, shall we find this Mighty Lord, Who comes out from the Father to meet the Prodigal? |
29450 | *** What is it that often makes it so much harder for the soul to refind God when she is enclosed in the male body? |
29450 | *** When the soul arrives at Union with God, does she remain always in Union? |
29450 | Almost every day the same three words came; but I turned away resentfully from them, saying to myself,"What have the sick to do with me? |
29450 | And if you should say to me,"What does it feel like to have found God?" |
29450 | And she suffers horribly: and why not? |
29450 | And who but the sorely tempted sinner can be bonded to Him by the mutual knowledge of those bitter, burning, desert days? |
29450 | Apart from the joy of it, what is the true value of ecstasy to him to whom it is granted? |
29450 | Are there here any truly"innocent"persons? |
29450 | Are there souls who have never left Him? |
29450 | Are we perhaps distressed at this multiplicity of worlds and souls? |
29450 | Are we to be discouraged because of this? |
29450 | Are we to think ourselves less favoured, less loved? |
29450 | But all this is not that Adam may recover his perfection, for when, and for how long, was Adam"Perfect"? |
29450 | But could not-- would not-- God deliver the innocent; must all alike descend into the pit? |
29450 | But supposing that we do not_ give_ to God, but, earnestly seeking Him, we merely ask some favour, and sit and wait for Him to give? |
29450 | Can Angels share the memories of His human days with Christ? |
29450 | Can Perfect Love have caprice? |
29450 | Can ecstasy be prepared for? |
29450 | Can faults and sins be eradicated without pain? |
29450 | Can we climb back through all this, most of it in darkness, without tears, without pain, without every kind of anguish? |
29450 | Can we stand still and receive it like the dew, without work? |
29450 | Could the great mountain up which my soul had sweated, and which each soul must climb-- could it be climbed by kneeling in a pew in church? |
29450 | Did He in His wisdom know that if He showed Himself too openly I should go mad with fear or joy? |
29450 | Did not Solomon choose wisdom? |
29450 | Does God, then, when experienced feel to be a Fire? |
29450 | Does He prefer even in heaven to possess Himself to Himself in His First Person? |
29450 | Does the soul rejoice in ecstasies because they are ecstasies? |
29450 | Has this part of the soul, then, never sinned? |
29450 | Have we, then, two Wills? |
29450 | He leads her straight into the woes: will she follow, will she hold back? |
29450 | How can energy be a means of this immeasurable Divine joy? |
29450 | How can even the daily requirements of flesh be fulfilled without pain? |
29450 | How can it be? |
29450 | How can it be? |
29450 | How can so formless a thing, still waiting for its Spiritual Body, be beautiful? |
29450 | How can such a tremendous thing as this be carried out without, as it were, burning the man up with the greatness of it? |
29450 | How can we commence to remedy this disastrous state? |
29450 | How is this Power to be recognised, how is it communicated? |
29450 | How without profound humiliation and patience can we descend from Contemplation to duties in the household? |
29450 | How, then, can it be possible that God can take up His abode with us and we still live? |
29450 | How, then, shall God, Who can be neither seen, nor heard, nor touched, how shall He be made known from one to another? |
29450 | II Since Contemplation is so necessary for Union with God and for the soul''s_ enjoyment_ of God-- is it a capacity common to all persons? |
29450 | If I had an eternal soul, where did it live-- in my head with my brain as a higher part of my mind? |
29450 | If it is awakened only by Act of God, in what way can we be held responsible about it? |
29450 | If we say that we apprehend God by that which is not Mind, what reason have we for saying that it is not Reason which receives Him? |
29450 | In sorrow, in trouble, in pain, could knowledge or the mind do so much more for me than the despised body? |
29450 | In the light of these measureless joys what is any earthly joy? |
29450 | Is He never hurt by this perpetual grudgingness of love? |
29450 | Is all this tantamount to saying that when separated from God Spirit- life is less desirable than earth- life? |
29450 | Is an earthly father vexed when his child, standing there before him, forgets the words upon its lips, forgets to ask, because it loves him so? |
29450 | Is it God? |
29450 | Is it all joy to find God? |
29450 | Is it all joy to love God? |
29450 | Is it asking of God? |
29450 | Is it happiness, beauty, and light? |
29450 | Is it the learning and knowledge that the pursuit of Truth may bring her to? |
29450 | Is it this part of the soul which we ordinarily speak of as the Will? |
29450 | Is life, then, a poem? |
29450 | Is she beautiful? |
29450 | Is she mistaken in this, and God always to be possessed, but she not dressed to receive Him? |
29450 | Is this favoritism? |
29450 | It may well be asked of a soul which claims to have found God, How does she know that she has encountered Him? |
29450 | It must be borne; had He not borne His own up to the bitter end? |
29450 | It was some form of personal Contact that was needed; but if my mind failed to reach this, with what else should I reach it? |
29450 | Looking into herself, what does the soul perceive? |
29450 | Men had souls, I was sure of that; and they asserted the possession of them very positively-- but women? |
29450 | Must I accept the sick in place of the ecstasy of God? |
29450 | My soul sickened with fear, and I said, Love is a calamity; who can release me from the anguish of it? |
29450 | Not even the greatest of all the Angels can alone bear to endure Him? |
29450 | O my Jesus, my Jesus, must I really follow Thee out of Paradise back into pain? |
29450 | Royal knowledge which knows no toil, no sweat of work, no common drudgery, art thou of the soul herself, or art thou altogether from outside the soul? |
29450 | So Jesus Christ calls us again, and where does He lead us? |
29450 | This is terrible; what shall we do-- shall we ask God to help us? |
29450 | This spontaneous Evil filled me with more astonishment than shame; whence did this Evil come? |
29450 | V We hope for much from"education"; but what education is it that will be of enduring value to us? |
29450 | We need not be, for they are a necessity both of God and of ourselves; for God to Be Himself He must give Himself, and who can receive Him? |
29450 | What alone can enable the Soul to maintain such a position? |
29450 | What are amongst the most noticeable changes in the mind? |
29450 | What divides us from God? |
29450 | What does the Saviour Himself tell us of the means of entry into the Kingdom? |
29450 | What is essential to obtaining this Act of God? |
29450 | What is it that instinctively we look for and desire? |
29450 | What is it that would seem to determine this immeasurable privilege of Access to Him? |
29450 | What is it, then? |
29450 | What is our quest in this world? |
29450 | What is the difference? |
29450 | What is the meaning of all this? |
29450 | What is the very greatest experience of earthly happiness but so much waste paper? |
29450 | What is this? |
29450 | What makes such perseverance likely or even possible on the soul''s part? |
29450 | What was the truth-- what was the truth about every single thing I saw? |
29450 | What, after all, is knowledge by itself? |
29450 | Where is the injustice of this pain? |
29450 | Where was Wisdom in all this? |
29450 | Who can know His graciousness, His infinity of tenderness and courtesy, as can the sinner? |
29450 | Who can share with God hereafter such close experiences as will the sinner? |
29450 | Who can taste the sweetness of God as can the repentant sinner? |
29450 | Who is it, what is it, that so punishes the soul? |
29450 | Who knows the heights and depths and lengths and breadths of God''s forgiving love as does the sinner? |
29450 | Why all this suffering? |
29450 | Why continue to struggle to please God when His interest in me would so soon be over? |
29450 | Why do not all men apprehend God? |
29450 | Why should Perfect Love inflict this pain on us? |
29450 | Why should this most beautiful of all human emotions carry with it so heavy a penalty, for which no remedy appeared to exist? |
29450 | Why this distinction? |
29450 | Why this suffering? |
29450 | Why would He not show Himself? |
29450 | Why? |
29450 | Will she go? |
29450 | Will she stay? |
29450 | Would he give himself so, would he sweat so, in order to find God, or to please God? |
29450 | X If the Divine Lover gives such joys to the soul, how does the soul give joy to the Divine Lover? |
29450 | XII Does God come and go? |
29450 | XIX Who is so blessed as the Redeemed Sinner? |
29450 | XVII How is it that Perfect Love can consent to the wandering of the soul with its consequent sorrow and sin? |
29450 | Yet could this ever be forgotten? |
29450 | Yet in the hour of death and afterwards, will he be helped by this victory of flying balls? |
29450 | and how comes she to be away from Him? |
29450 | is it a melody? |
1959 | -Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem,"says one of them,"and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?" |
1959 | Do we not dream? |
1959 | I was suffering too much to enjoy this picture at the moment,she says,"but how was it at the end of the year? |
1959 | Is it not good for us to be ever young? 1959 The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" |
1959 | What manner of communications,said the undiscerned Saviour,"are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? |
1959 | Whence came this wide difference,she asks,"between the good and the evil? |
1959 | Why have such experiences as decline, and decay, and death? |
1959 | Will not that life and affection return to us? |
1959 | Am I ready to be alone? |
1959 | Amid our daily business,--in the sounding tumult of the great mart, and the absorption of our thoughts,--do we think of it? |
1959 | And does not this consideration make our mortal life of deep consequence to us? |
1959 | And here I pause to ask, if, in all that scene of agony, anything is developed inconsistent with the character of Christ? |
1959 | And if we should compute the length of any life by such experiences, and not by a succession of years, would it not be a long life? |
1959 | And is it not worth something to make it such a reality? |
1959 | And now I ask, is it not an intended lesson? |
1959 | And now, as one who is strong and ready, he says calmly to Peter,"The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" |
1959 | And the relation of a mother to her child; what other is like it? |
1959 | And what is life, and what is death, and what a thousand things that we touch, and experience, and think we know all about? |
1959 | And what report will my soul make in that hour of solitude? |
1959 | And what, then, are these nations- these epochs of humanity- but waves rising and breaking on the great sea of eternity? |
1959 | And yet who is there that, thrown into such a position, would find it for his real welfare, and would be truly happy? |
1959 | And yet, are there not some whose desire is for constant revelation? |
1959 | And yet, is this the complete ideal of life? |
1959 | Are we not also thankful that they were ours so long? |
1959 | Are we not looking merely at the earthly aspect of the event? |
1959 | At least, would it not be a full and immeasurable life? |
1959 | Because God and immortality are mysterious, incomprehensible, reject them, and walk only by sight? |
1959 | Build a tabernacle for perpetual youth, and say,"It is good to be here?" |
1959 | But have we not a close relation to him? |
1959 | But how shall we weep? |
1959 | But must this, should this, be always and only so? |
1959 | But not to enter into so subtle a discussion, of what kind are some of the best communions which we have on earth? |
1959 | But ought we really to wish that these relations might remain unbroken, and to murmur because it is not so? |
1959 | Do not illustrations of this simple thought occur easily to your minds? |
1959 | Do not our deepest intuitions demand that these revelations should be true? |
1959 | Do our affections sink back into our hearts,--become absorbed and forgotten? |
1959 | Do they not conform to the highest reason? |
1959 | Do we begin to realize that in our souls we have derived profit from it already? |
1959 | Do we mark with what increasing swiftness the line of our life seems reeling off, and how close we are coming to the end? |
1959 | Do we mourn that the dead have been taken from us so soon? |
1959 | Do we not often hear the expression,"Well, things are as they are,-we do best to take them as they come;"and here the matter ends? |
1959 | Do we not see how they win the heart from frivolity and selfishness, and make it aware of duties, and quick with sympathies? |
1959 | Do we not see many beautiful offices created and discharged by these affections-- tender and far- reaching relationships into which they run? |
1959 | Do we observe how quickly we shoot by it? |
1959 | Do we perceive how nearly we approach a goal which a little while ago seemed far before us? |
1959 | Do you not see them there, walking so serenely by the still waters, with palms about their brows? |
1959 | Does it, by its death, accomplish all this? |
1959 | Does not your heart of hearts tell you they are true? |
1959 | For I proceed, at once, to ask you if it is not a fact that often we would like to remain where, and to have what, is not best for us? |
1959 | Grant that we are driving down a stream,-can we use no effort? |
1959 | Has it not a spiritual phase for us? |
1959 | Has not each one of us, at times, realized that he lived a year in a single day,--in a moment,--in an emotion or thought? |
1959 | Have you recently laid down the dead in their place of rest? |
1959 | He had betrayed no sense of suffering, no impressibility by pain; why should he not be willing, seeing he was always able to meet the end? |
1959 | He has made very tender the ties that bind us to happiness, and can we fail to shrink and suffer when they are cut asunder? |
1959 | He has opened the springs of love that well up within us, and can we help mourning when they turn to tears and blood? |
1959 | He lent it to us thus far; why complain, rather, that he did not intrust us with it longer? |
1959 | How can she bear all this? |
1959 | How can she give him up, with all these memories, these associations? |
1959 | How do we know-- positively know, that it will produce that effect, and what are the grounds of our knowledge? |
1959 | If I do wrong, if I cleave to evil rather than the good, what shall I do when I am alone, and yet not alone, but with the Father? |
1959 | If the dead live no more, what would memory be to us but a spectre and a sting? |
1959 | If this is not our everlasting home, why should they all remain here to cheat us with that thought? |
1959 | If we were made merely to be happy, why this hostility all around us? |
1959 | If we would have it otherwise? |
1959 | In our grief over unfulfilled expectation, do we cherish no gratitude for actual good? |
1959 | In reply to the question,"Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" |
1959 | Is human agency nothing? |
1959 | Is its memory around us like a pure presence into which no thought of sin can readily enter? |
1959 | Is there not a strong bond of spiritual communion between us? |
1959 | Is there not left a moral which abides a sweet and lasting consolation? |
1959 | It goes out in darkness, and the blast of disappointment rushes upon us, can we help being sad? |
1959 | It may be said that in the experience of the past we have a guide for the future; but then, must we not have faith in experience? |
1959 | My friends, what do we make out of this fact? |
1959 | Nay, could that experience be measured by any estimate of time? |
1959 | Nay, do we not begin to consider how through our temporal affection an eternal good is wrought out for us? |
1959 | Nay, may not the intercourse we thus have with him be better and truer than any which we could have from actual contact,--from local acquaintance? |
1959 | Or is it with us, even yet, a spiritual companion of our ways? |
1959 | Or, if we must, at last, die, why all this sad experience,--this incoming of weakness,--this slipping away of life and power?" |
1959 | Otherwise, why should not Jesus be as resigned as before? |
1959 | RESIGNATION"The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" |
1959 | Say, can we check the gush of sorrow at any of life''s sharp trials and losses? |
1959 | Should we not invoke the glare and tumult of the world to distract or absorb our thoughts? |
1959 | Should we not then seek to repress those tender recollections,--to close our eyes to those pale, sad visions of departed love? |
1959 | Suppose Jesus had stayed upon the mount, what would have become of that group of want, and helplessness, and agony? |
1959 | Take them away, and would there not be a dreary and overwhelming void? |
1959 | The baffled hopes of our mortal state;--what are they but vain strivings of the human soul, out of the path of its highest good? |
1959 | The feet whose wanderings she has watched so narrowly, how can she see them straitened to go down into the dark valley? |
1959 | The religious man takes things as they come, but how? |
1959 | The rich man''s wealth,--the sumptuous property, the golden pile that he has left behind him;--by it, being dead, does he not yet speak to us? |
1959 | The timid hands that have so often taken hers in trust and love, how can she fold them on his breast, and surrender them to the cold clasp of death? |
1959 | Their hieroglyphic pillars, their gray old pyramids;--what are they to the age of Uranus, or the new planet? |
1959 | They are great, they are incomprehensibly great; but are they therefore untrue? |
1959 | They are stronger, are they not, than any attachment to mere things of this earth? |
1959 | This boasted"cause and effect,"this"experience,"what right have we to rely upon it for one moment of the future? |
1959 | This companion of our lot,--this wedded wife of our heart,--why taken away now? |
1959 | Thus, then, do children awaken within us deep and mighty affections; and is it not their mission to do so? |
1959 | Was not their departure as essential a work of the divine beneficence as their bestowal? |
1959 | We ask,"Shall it not come again?" |
1959 | We say to ourselves again and again,"Can it be possible?" |
1959 | What are the conditions of our communion with the living-- those with whom we come in material contact? |
1959 | What are these relations? |
1959 | What has it to do with business, and politics, and such practical matters? |
1959 | What has our skeptic to do with the future world or with spiritual relations? |
1959 | What if Jesus had remained there, upon that Mount of Vision, and himself stood before us as only a transfigured form of glory? |
1959 | What is life, and for what end are all its varied dispensations? |
1959 | What is religion to a keen- minded, hard- headed, sagacious man of the world? |
1959 | What lesson we shall furnish for others,--what influence for good or evil;--can we be indifferent to that? |
1959 | What more rapid and momentary than a story? |
1959 | What shall we do then? |
1959 | What then? |
1959 | What things? |
1959 | What was she until that new love woke up within her, and her heart and soul thrilled with it, and first truly lived in it? |
1959 | What we are in ourselves,--what use we shall make of life;--is not this an all important subject? |
1959 | When I can enter the inner chamber of sainted souls, and conspire with the efforts of moral heroes, and understand the sufferings of martyrs? |
1959 | When Spenser can lead me into golden visions, or Shakespeare smite me with magic inspiration, or Milton bathe me in immortal song? |
1959 | When, with Bacon, I can explore the laboratory of nature, or with Locke, consult the mysteries of the soul? |
1959 | Whence do events come, and for what purpose do they come? |
1959 | Where then would be the peculiarity of his work, and its effect upon the world? |
1959 | Who does not understand the fact to which I now refer? |
1959 | Who has not felt something of it? |
1959 | Who shall be able to say this as Jesus said it? |
1959 | Who shall say, then, that God, immortality, and those high truths revealed by Jesus, are inconsistent? |
1959 | Why athwart the horizon flicker so many shapes of misery and sin? |
1959 | Why puzzle ourselves about their origin, or seek to disengage the true from the fabulous in their history? |
1959 | Why should not the body be a tabernacle of constant youth, and life be always thus fresh, and buoyant, and innocent, and confiding? |
1959 | Why should we suppose that death cuts off all such affinities? |
1959 | Why strain laboriously to settle names, and dates, and dynasties? |
1959 | Why the chill of disappointment, the shudder of remorse, the crush and blight of hope? |
1959 | Why these sharp oppositions of pain and difficulty? |
1959 | Why these writhing nerves, these aching hearts, and over- laden eyes? |
1959 | and is this the way in which we are to accomplish its true end? |
1959 | how can she consign it to the chamber of the grave? |
8427 | Can they be regenerated physically? 8427 Have we not all one father? |
8427 | The question may be asked, as, indeed, it has been,''What is the use of attempting to save a dying race?'' 8427 What did the converted coal miner find, when he accepted this difficult trust? |
8427 | Who is responsible for its inadequacy and dangers? 8427 At first the boys objected, but such remarks as''Ca n''t she see us is boys?'' 8427 Can the Gospel of Christ lift such as these, with a thousand generations of savagery back of them? 8427 Did ever the words seem so fraught with meaning, so filled with the yearning love of the Master? 8427 Did sickness ravage some home where many little ones were crowded into two or three rooms? 8427 Did they mean only good to the valley? 8427 For what did Christ live? 8427 Suddenly through the threatening mass a man forced his way to the side of Dr. P.----, exclaiming in English,You Melican man?" |
8427 | Then he said,"You Jesus man? |
8427 | Was some man crushed by the heavy logs while at work? |
8427 | What do we mean by"kingdom"? |
8427 | What were their real motives? |
8427 | What will you leave for him? |
8427 | Where is the schoolhouse? |
8427 | Who can tell what its influence shall be? |
8427 | Why had they come? |
8427 | Will he add to the number of America''s criminals or can he possibly enter the ranks of good citizenship? |
8427 | and secondly,''Can the race be saved?'' |
8427 | hath not one God created us?" |
27266 | A new commandment I give unto you,( what is it, Lord?) 27266 Also the sons of the stranger,( who are these if they are not Gentiles?) |
27266 | Is he the God of the Jews only? 27266 Well,"says one,"what is the meaning of the texts which you have quoted, where it speaks of Sabbaths?" |
27266 | What is written in the law? 27266 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments"& c. Did he mean the ten commandments? |
27266 | _ These are the_ FEASTS_ of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim in their[ 15]seasons_, EVERY THING UPON HIS DAY--37th v.( May we not deviate a little? |
27266 | ( Does Paul here teach us to forsake the ordinances of God, instituted by the Saviour-- Baptism and the Lord''s Supper? |
27266 | ( Now if the Sabbath had been changed or abolished, would it not have been_ profitable_ to have told them so?) |
27266 | ( Why is it Lord?) |
27266 | ( what you have been taught before)_ the Sabbath day to keep it holy_;"( which day is it Lord?) |
27266 | --What_ law_ is here established? |
27266 | 16, 17 v._ Who are the true Israelites?_ Answer, God''s people. |
27266 | A question was asked, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? |
27266 | Again, if the Sabbath was not instituted in Paradise, why did Moses mention it in connection with the creation of the world? |
27266 | Again, is it right and lawful to carry forth our dead on the Sabbath? |
27266 | And God''s people did respond to that call and come out, does any one ask where from? |
27266 | And did not God require them to keep THE Sabbath before he made this covenant with them in Horeb? |
27266 | Are these_ shadows_? |
27266 | Are we_ all_ right? |
27266 | But did they not keep the commandments of God before this company was developed? |
27266 | But do not some of the rest go in? |
27266 | But says the reader, there are tens of thousands that are looking for Jesus, that do nt believe the above doctrines, what will become of them? |
27266 | By what authority do you call the seventh day Sabbath, the Jewish Sabbath? |
27266 | Can it be proved that God ever altered or changed the truth? |
27266 | Can it be supposed that his fixing on upon_ seven_ was accidential? |
27266 | Dare you run such a risk because the great mass of professed believers in Christendom are doing so? |
27266 | Did he break the Sabbath? |
27266 | Did he keep the commandments? |
27266 | Did not God say that Abraham kept his commandments, statutes, and laws? |
27266 | Did our Saviour ever meet with his disciples on the first day of the week after the[ 39]evening of the day of his resurrection? |
27266 | Do you ask for any more evidence that these are the Jewish Sabbaths, and that God''s Sabbath is separate from them? |
27266 | Do you ask for the foundation for this mass of evidence? |
27266 | Do you ask for the proof? |
27266 | Do you perceive that the seventh day Sabbath is God''s first_ law_ for man? |
27266 | Do you think you can be saved by such a_ faith_ and_ practice_? |
27266 | Does he not say that he is the Shepherd of the Sheep?--What, of the Jews only? |
27266 | Does not Isaiah say that God will bless the_ man_, and the_ son_ of_ man_, and the_ sons_ of the_ stranger_, that keep THE Sabbath? |
27266 | Does the changing of the law by the little horn bring peace? |
27266 | Does this differ from the_ law_ of God? |
27266 | Does this look like abolishing the Sabbath day? |
27266 | Echo answers, who can alter this covenant? |
27266 | Has anything been said about the 1st day yet? |
27266 | He asks them if they had a sheep fall into the ditch on the Sabbath, if they would not haul him out? |
27266 | He says"Blessed is the_ man_( are not the Gentiles men?) |
27266 | Hear Paul:"Is he the God of the Jews only? |
27266 | His answer is,"Why do ye transgress the commandment of God?" |
27266 | How is that, says one? |
27266 | How much better then is a man than a sheep? |
27266 | How? |
27266 | How? |
27266 | I ask if it could be so if any of the_ law_ should fail? |
27266 | IF SO WHEN, AND FOR WHAT REASON? |
27266 | IF SO, WHEN, AND WHERE IS THE PROOF? |
27266 | If you do n''t know, why are you so sure that the_ first_ day is right? |
27266 | Indeed it is impossible that the law of God could be changed; do you say it is possible I may be mistaken? |
27266 | Is he not also of the Gentiles? |
27266 | Is he not also of the Gentiles? |
27266 | Is it not clear, then, that the Sabbath was made for Adam and his posterity, the whole family of_ man_? |
27266 | Is not the stranger and all within their gates included in the covenant to keep the Sabbath? |
27266 | Is not this as much as 63,000 years in the future? |
27266 | Is not this the same_ law_ as in Luke 16: 17? |
27266 | Is there an individual with common sense in the world that dare risk his reputation in such kind of logic? |
27266 | Is this a safe rule for us? |
27266 | Jesus"said unto him what is written in the LAW? |
27266 | Now I ask if this looks like Sunday, the first day of the week? |
27266 | Now has this new covenant been broken by man as was the first? |
27266 | Now we ask, if God has ever abrogated the law of the Sabbath? |
27266 | Now what is this faith or"testimony of Jesus?" |
27266 | Now why this preference for the number_ seven_? |
27266 | Of what_ law_? |
27266 | Once more,"One came and said unto him, good master what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? |
27266 | Once more: He says the Gentiles having not the_ law_, are a_ law_ unto themselves.--Why? |
27266 | Page 26: perish with their using? |
27266 | Says one, has not the ceremonial law been annulled and nailed to the cross? |
27266 | Says the reader, what do you think about those that have died in faith, keeping the first day Sabbath? |
27266 | Sick, or well, ministers or laymen, do they not ride back and forth to meeting? |
27266 | The 2d question is, did our Lord ever trifle with or mislead his disciples? |
27266 | The law of ceremonies? |
27266 | The lawyer says,"Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
27266 | The second question then, is this: HAS THE SABBATH BEEN ABOLISHED SINCE THE SEVENTH DAY OF CREATION? |
27266 | The third question: WAS THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH EVER CHANGED? |
27266 | To what people_ did_ the Sabbath belong at the destruction of Jerusalem, nearly forty years after the crucifixion? |
27266 | Very well then, does not the_ seventh_ come the day before the eighth? |
27266 | WHO ARE THE TRUE ISRAEL? |
27266 | Was not the second covenant written on the hearts of the Gentile, even the law of Commandments? |
27266 | Well then how does it come to be understood at this point of time? |
27266 | Well, were they not all good christians that obeyed and came out of Babylon? |
27266 | Well, who are left out? |
27266 | What are they, Lord? |
27266 | What can you prove by it if it is changed or abolished? |
27266 | What did the apostle say were_ shadows_? |
27266 | What do you mean Paul? |
27266 | What do you mean by_ beginning_? |
27266 | What does God say of Abraham? |
27266 | What does he mean by shadow? |
27266 | What for? |
27266 | What is the reason of this? |
27266 | What was it? |
27266 | When and where has God abolished his_ commandments_ and laws? |
27266 | When, and where did God ever sanctify the_ first_, or any other day but the seventh to be kept for a holy day of rest? |
27266 | Where do you draw the distinguishing line, to show which is and which is not MAN between the_ natural seed of Abraham_ and the Gentiles? |
27266 | Where is the precept? |
27266 | Where was it then? |
27266 | Where? |
27266 | Where? |
27266 | Who is the stranger? |
27266 | Who shall settle this question? |
27266 | Who then can alter this covenant? |
27266 | Who then can change the Sabbath? |
27266 | Why did he say,"Think not I am come to destroy the_ law_ or the prophets? |
27266 | Why then has the church lost sight of them? |
27266 | Why was it Paul''s manner always to preach on the seventh day Sabbath to Jews and Gentiles? |
27266 | Why? |
27266 | Why? |
27266 | Why? |
27266 | Why? |
27266 | Will God ever justify any living soul for attempting to keep one of the six working days holy? |
27266 | Will he break it, then think ye? |
27266 | Yes, but what of that? |
27266 | [ 5]THE SABBATH FIRST QUESTION IS, WHEN WAS THE SABBATH INSTITUTED? |
27266 | _ First then, the distinction of the two codes by Jesus._ The Pharisees ask the Saviour why his disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? |
27266 | _ Has the Sabbath been abolished since the seventh day of creation? |
27266 | _ Was the seventh day Sabbath ever changed? |
27266 | _ When was the Sabbath instituted?_ Here we have endeavored to show when, and how it continued until its re- enactment on Mount Sinai. |
27266 | and what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the world? |
27266 | describe a great multitude saved after the 144,000? |
27266 | every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it,( does he mean me? |
27266 | how readest thou?" |
27266 | how readest thou?" |
27266 | iii: 31 he closes with this language:"Do we then make void the law through faith? |
27266 | ix: 5. Who believes that the person that refrains from worshiping''idols or images,''will be saved for that? |
27266 | or because he honors his father or mother? |
27266 | or because he is no murderer? |
27266 | or does not commit adultery, or steal, or bear false witness, or covet, or not swear? |
27266 | or rather the Covenant in them of the 7th day Sabbath? |
27266 | our Saviour says to his disciples in answer to their questions, when shall these things be? |
27266 | unless he meant it to be dated from that very day? |
27266 | vii: 19, and says circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing,( what_ is_, Paul?) |
27266 | why not five or ten days, or any other number? |
27266 | xvi: 23) and then state that the seventh day Sabbath commenced, as_ some_ will have it? |
27266 | xx and xxxi.--Which day now will you choose? |
33014 | But how can you leave the children? 33014 But you are not going to a court- martial; you are going to Christ; and when Christ asks you,''What have you done for me?'' |
33014 | Did they ever crown you with thorns? |
33014 | Did they ever smite you? |
33014 | Did you get some one to take it for you? |
33014 | Did you tell the Superintendent you were not to be there? |
33014 | Do you go to the Sabbath- school? |
33014 | Do you go to the day- school? |
33014 | Do you know if any one was there to take it? |
33014 | Do you know who had the class? |
33014 | Do you love me? |
33014 | Have I received such blessed light and truth, and shall I not strive to communicate it to others? |
33014 | How are you going to do it? |
33014 | Is it easier to say,''Thy sins be forgiven thee,''or''Rise up and walk?'' 33014 Is that the way you do the Lord''s work?" |
33014 | Johnnie, how do you do? 33014 No?" |
33014 | Then did you feel bad for that mother? |
33014 | Thousands of men breathe, move and live, pass off the stage of life, and are heard of no more-- Why? 33014 WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?" |
33014 | WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? |
33014 | What are you doing here, my boy? |
33014 | What did you think of the preacher? |
33014 | What makes you cry? |
33014 | What was your subject? |
33014 | Why? |
33014 | Will you tell my father and mother that I died a Christian? |
33014 | A man sent me a tract a little while ago, entitled,"WHAT IS THAT IN THINE HAND?" |
33014 | After some days, he called again on the old man, who said:"Well, sir, what do you think now?" |
33014 | Am I not right in saying that we live in a glorious day? |
33014 | And Jesus said,''Let her alone; why trouble ye her? |
33014 | And if God so blessed the fountain, will He not bless you, my friends, if, as ye have freely received, ye also freely give? |
33014 | And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? |
33014 | And where was the prudent pool? |
33014 | Are not the fruits of that revival at Pentecost to be seen even in our time? |
33014 | Are there not many who have become alienated from the Church of God and from the house of the Lord, who are forming an attachment to the saloon? |
33014 | At last the Lord said to Moses,"What is that in thine hand?" |
33014 | But did not the little stream exhaust itself? |
33014 | But if you keep your feelings and your troubles all locked up, how are you to be helped? |
33014 | But was it a failure? |
33014 | But what did he do? |
33014 | But what was the good man''s answer:"Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou_ agree_ with me for a penny? |
33014 | By- and- by a third man called and said:"Would you take a ticket for these meetings?" |
33014 | Can we not do the same as that young lady did? |
33014 | Can we not engage in the service of Christ because we love Him? |
33014 | Did not the Lutheran Church come from the great awakening that swept through Germany in the days of Luther? |
33014 | Did not the teacher get well paid for her work? |
33014 | Did you ever preach on Noah? |
33014 | Did you ever study up his life?" |
33014 | Do we not need a revival of downright honesty, of truthfulness, of uprightness, and of temperance? |
33014 | Do you have any doubt of it? |
33014 | Do you know what the word means? |
33014 | Do you say that He will not bless such consecrated effort? |
33014 | Do you suppose that the young converts are going round to your house and knock at the door to tell you they have been converted? |
33014 | Do you tell me He can not use this woman, that little boy? |
33014 | Do you tell me I could not sympathize with that bereaved mother? |
33014 | Do you tell me that John Howard, who went into so many of the dark prisons in Europe, is dead? |
33014 | Do you tell me that Joseph is dead? |
33014 | Do you think a class of little boys full of life and fire is going to be reached in that way? |
33014 | Do you think the poor drunkard who reels along the street really believes that Christ is his friend and loves him? |
33014 | Do you think these drunkards need anyone to condemn them? |
33014 | Do you want to know how you can reach the masses? |
33014 | For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? |
33014 | He did not give him a long address on geology; what could that do for him? |

33014 | How''s the baby? |
33014 | How''s your mother? |
33014 | I called her to me, and said:''Nellie, what is the trouble?'' |
33014 | I noticed this and said:"You are not afraid of death, are you?" |
33014 | I said:"What are you doing for Christ?" |
33014 | If Christ could not do this, how can we expect to accomplish anything if the people of God are unbelieving? |
33014 | If God could use that, surely He can use us, can he not? |
33014 | If we had the love of our Master do you tell me that these outlying masses would not be reached? |
33014 | In our great cities are there not hundreds and thousands who are in some need of human sympathy? |

33014 | Is it not time for us to launch out into the deep? |
33014 | Is not he that sitteth at meat? |
33014 | Is there a professing Christian who can not lead some soul into the kingdom of God? |
33014 | Is there not a much higher platform than that of mere duty? |
33014 | Is thine eye evil, because I am good? |
33014 | Joshua was not afraid, but he said:"Art thou for us or for our adversaries?" |
33014 | Might not we represent each other with the finger of charity upon the scar, instead of representing the scar deeper and blacker than it really is? |
33014 | Mother, can you believe for your boy? |
33014 | My friend turned upon him and said:"Do you have any doubt about the final result of things? |
33014 | Now, the question was,"How can we get him down?" |
33014 | Oh, no? |
33014 | One of the worst enemies that Christians have to contend with is this spirit of rivalry-- this feeling,"Who shall be the greatest?" |
33014 | People say:"Why is it that there is no blessing? |
33014 | Said he to me,"What kind of a day did you have yesterday?" |
33014 | See, it passes a stagnant pool, and the pool hails it:''Whither away, master streamlet?'' |
33014 | Shall we not learn a lesson from the good Samaritan? |
33014 | Shall we not reconsecrate ourselves now to God and to his service? |
33014 | She took him to the school and said to the Superintendent:"Can you give me a place where I can teach this boy?" |
33014 | Some of you may say:"How am I to get into sympathy with those who are in sorrow?" |
33014 | Such a teacher will take up the first book and he says:"John, who was the first man?" |
33014 | The Lord had to go to him and say:"What doest thou here, Elijah?" |
33014 | The Samaritan might have said to the man:"Why did you not stay at Jerusalem? |
33014 | The other propounded the following questions:"Did they ever spit in your face?" |
33014 | The wise men began to reason within themselves:"Who is this that forgiveth sins?" |

33014 | They laid their friend right at the feet of Jesus Christ; a good place to lay him, was it not? |

27852 | ***** Why weep, my child? |
27852 | *****_ Hast thou no favors to ask of Me?_ Give Me, if thou wilt, a list of all thy desires, all the wants of thy soul. |
27852 | *****_ Hast thou no interests which occupy thy mind?_ Tell Me of them all.... Of thy vocation. |
27852 | --"You have, then, some special balm?" |
27852 | A disappointment? |
27852 | A fresh rending of the heart? |
27852 | After all... these little troubles, looked at calmly, what are they? |
27852 | Am_ I_ the type of all that is beautiful and right? |
27852 | And for Me hast thou no ardor? |
27852 | And how do you prove to Him your love? |
27852 | And why not? |
27852 | Are there around thee those seemingly less devout than formerly, whose coldness or indifference have estranged thee from them without real cause?... |
27852 | Are there many who try to be of some little help or comfort to the souls with whom they are brought in contact through life? |
27852 | Are they not very much to be pitied? |
27852 | Are those around you wicked? |
27852 | Are you discouraged? |
27852 | Are you full of peace? |
27852 | Are you tempted? |
27852 | BENEATH THE EYE OF GOD, GOD ONLY As you read these words, are you not conscious of an inward feeling of peace and quietness? |
27852 | Beneath GOD''S protecting Hand, is it possible that you can be sorrowful, fearful, unhappy? |
27852 | But is not this a worry, a continual torment? |
27852 | Can you not hear GOD''S Voice speaking to you? |
27852 | Did JESUS CHRIST hesitate to die for you? |
27852 | Do we help him, unseen, towards that act of charity, humiliation, or self- renunciation? |
27852 | Do we pray to GOD that this soul may become humble, pure, devoted? |
27852 | Do we take as much pains to procure him the little devotional book that will really help him, as we should to obtain a transient pleasure? |
27852 | Do you believe harm was intended? |
27852 | Do you know what you have gained? |
27852 | Do you long at each Communion to receive the grace bestowed by CHRIST that shall little by little fit you for heaven hereafter? |
27852 | Do you not feel moved, as if your whole being in these words went forth to GOD, offering to Him life itself? |
27852 | Do you not feel something soothing and consoling in these thoughts? |
27852 | Do you wish to live at peace with all the world? |
27852 | Do your duty as well as you can, as you understand it, as it is given to you; say sometimes to GOD,"My Master, art Thou satisfied with me?" |
27852 | Does it seem too hard for you? |
27852 | Does not GOD love us? |
27852 | Does not this simple thought explain the reason that there is often so little result from our frequent Communions? |
27852 | Does the future in its turn seem to frighten me? |
27852 | Does the past sometimes rise up to trouble me with the thought of the many years spent without GOD? |
27852 | Dost thou not desire to do some good to the souls of those thou lovest, but who are forgetful of Me? |
27852 | During the week has not the heart been wearied with petty strife and discontent, interests marred, bitter words? |
27852 | Each has a mission to fulfil; and as it comes from GOD, why not let it be accomplished in peace? |
27852 | For what reason? |
27852 | Has not GOD promised His pardon for His blessed SON''S sake, to all who truly repent and unfeignedly believe His Holy Gospel? |
27852 | Have I made a full avowal and entire submission? |
27852 | Have I more faith in GOD, and more calmness and resignation in all the events of life? |
27852 | Have I not always opportunity to give? |
27852 | Have we courage not to spare the soul the trial that we know will purify? |
27852 | Have you any further doubts? |
27852 | Have you fallen? |
27852 | Have you reckoned the number of minutes that have elapsed since your birth? |
27852 | He is with you, and to retain Him close, Who is all Purity, will you not be more modest in your behavior? |
27852 | He says:_ Continue another half- hour the work that wearies thee_; and you would stop? |
27852 | He says:_ Do not that_; and you do it? |
27852 | He says:_ Let us tread together the path of obedience_; and you answer: No? |
27852 | Humiliation? |
27852 | I smile at the foolish fancies of my imagination; is not my future in GOD''S Hands? |
27852 | If so, is it not the greater merit? |
27852 | If your duty seems almost_ impossible_ to fulfil, ask yourself,"Is this GOD''S Will for me?" |
27852 | Is all this_ nothing_? |
27852 | Is it Thy Will that lonely and sorrowful I am left on earth, while those I loved have gone to dwell near Thee above? |
27852 | Is it not absurd to think that because another acts and thinks differently to myself, he must needs be wrong? |
27852 | Is not this thought one to make you tremble? |
27852 | Is there not a thought in this that should make us reflect? |
27852 | Listen to the story of a simple shepherd, given in his own words:"I forget now who it was that once said to me,''Jean Baptiste, you are very poor?'' |
27852 | Make them the subject of our morning prayers, and say to ourselves, Here is my daily cross, do I accept willingly? |
27852 | My child, tell Me of all thy weariness_: who has grieved thee? |
27852 | My friend, do you know why the work you accomplish fails either to give pleasure to yourself or others? |
27852 | Not to bestow thine affection on one who is not devout, and whose presence steals the peace from thy soul? |
27852 | One more solemn thought: How old are you? |
27852 | Poor child, why do you tell a flower the thought that troubles you? |
27852 | Provocation? |
27852 | SATURDAY EARNESTNESS You love GOD, do you not, dear one, whom GOD surrounds with so much affection? |
27852 | Shall I see myself misjudged, falsely suspected, despised? |
27852 | Sufferings? |
27852 | THE POWER OF AN ACT OF LOVE TOWARDS GOD Have you ever reflected upon this? |
27852 | The thought of GOD is never wearisome; why not always cherish it? |
27852 | Then to whom can I speak of Thee this day? |
27852 | Then, why not shake off all this, that only chills affection? |
27852 | To be constantly employed, and never asking,"What shall I do?" |
27852 | To spare them trouble, we sacrifice our own ease and enjoyment.... Oh, that is all very beautiful, very right; but what should we do for the soul? |
27852 | To whom do you owe all this? |
27852 | What counsels can I give? |
27852 | What does it signify if some unexpected command upsets all my previous plans? |
27852 | What dost thou desire? |
27852 | What dost thou think? |
27852 | What is so often the one thing wanting to some devout person devoted to doing good? |
27852 | What matters the tone or the harshness of the order? |
27852 | What moments may I seize, in which, without wounding the feelings, or parading my zeal, I may be allowed to speak a few words of piety? |
27852 | What must I suffer, LORD? |
27852 | What wilt Thou send me to- day? |
27852 | What wouldst thou this day, My child?... |
27852 | When have I ever been more_ zealous in labor_ than those days when I had fulfilled all my religious duties? |
27852 | When have I felt_ more free, more happy_, than when having fulfilled all the duties of my social position? |
27852 | When more_ loving and devoted_ than on the days of my Communions? |
27852 | Which of us have not felt the same? |
27852 | Who can describe all the joy, strength, and consolation it reveals? |
27852 | Who is anxious for a beloved one''s eternal welfare? |
27852 | Whom wouldst thou have to help thee? |
27852 | Why be anxious about the future? |
27852 | Why cause any one pain? |
27852 | Why imagine evil intentions against yourself? |
27852 | Why need I be disquieted? |
27852 | Why not prepare the heart, even as we do the body? |
27852 | Will you, receiving thus the GOD of_ Peace_ within, have for those around you kind words that shall fill them with calmness, resignation, and peace? |
27852 | Wilt thou go now and be loving and forbearing towards one who has vexed thee?... |
27852 | Would you be at peace with your conscience? |
27852 | Would you become holy? |
27852 | Would you call it_ torture_ or_ constraint_, the energy with which you shatter some poisoned cup you were almost enticed to drink? |
27852 | Would you live peaceably with the members of your family, above all with those who exercise a certain control of you? |
27852 | Would your mother have given you a bitter dose merely for the sake of causing you suffering? |
27852 | Wouldst thou give pleasure to thy mother, thy family, those in authority over thee? |
27852 | _ Art thou fearful of the future?_ Is there in thy heart that vague dread that thou canst not define, but which nevertheless torments thee? |
27852 | _ Art thou fearful of the future?_ Is there in thy heart that vague dread that thou canst not define, but which nevertheless torments thee? |
27852 | _ Art thou resolved to avoid all occasions of sin?_ To renounce that which tempts thee; never again to open the book that excites thine imagination? |
27852 | _ Art thou resolved to avoid all occasions of sin?_ To renounce that which tempts thee; never again to open the book that excites thine imagination? |
27852 | _ Hast thou no promises to make to Me?_ I can read thy heart; thou knowest it; thou mayst deceive man, but thou canst never deceive God. |
27852 | _ Leave my friend always at liberty to think and act for himself in matters of little importance._ Why compel him to think and act with me? |
27852 | am I better? |
27852 | am I happier? |
27852 | and am I not willing to fulfil whatever I am advised in GOD''S Name to do for the future? |
27852 | can I never recall them? |
27852 | can not you see how the thought troubles and disquiets you? |
27852 | have you no mother? |
27852 | have you not GOD to prepare it for you, as tenderly as eighteen years ago your mother prepared your cradle? |
27852 | how can those live peacefully who never pray? |
27852 | however heavy may be the burden you have to bear, does it not at once become light beneath the gaze of that FATHER''S eye? |
27852 | if I try to please and imitate Thee thus, wilt Thou indeed bless me? |
27852 | is it because this word does not please you? |
27852 | no doubt the shame and grief are sharp and keen, but why need they disturb my peace of mind? |
27852 | then what more can I do, good angel, thus addressing me, what can I do to show my love to GOD? |
27852 | to thank? |
27852 | treated thee with contempt? |
27852 | what dost Thou require of me to- day? |
27852 | what matters then ingratitude, forgetfulness, contempt, and scorn? |
27852 | what wouldst thou do for them? |
27852 | when He says:_ Bear this, I am here to aid thee_; you will refuse? |
27852 | who can tell all that passes between the soul and its GOD? |
27852 | why always such seeking for some one to_ see_ me, to_ understand_,_ appreciate_,_ praise_ me? |
27852 | wounded thy self- love? |
30609 | An''does yer honour know who I am? |
30609 | Art thou he that troublest Israel? |
30609 | Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures? |
30609 | Do you know who I am? |
30609 | Doest thou well to be angry? |
30609 | If we preached as long as this what would happen? |
30609 | If_ he_ succeeds, why do not I? |
30609 | Is there any sorrow like unto My sorrow? |
30609 | Lovest thou Me? |
30609 | Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? 30609 Who,"asks the Psalmist,"shall ascend into the hill of the Lord, or who shall stand in His holy place? |
30609 | _ Lovest_ thou_ Me_? |
30609 | _ What,indeed_? |
30609 | ...."And why take ye thought for raiment? |
30609 | ...."Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? |
30609 | Again, can it be denied that amongst us as a people the Sacrament of the Lord''s Supper is undervalued? |
30609 | And how are we to keep this sublime purpose of God ever in recollection, making it our own? |
30609 | And how has the change come to pass? |
30609 | And of what use is any lower understanding or interpretation of the purpose of Christ? |
30609 | And what are the verities whose application he must have experienced? |
30609 | And what are these higher heights to which he has to point his fellows? |
30609 | And what is the cause of this dulness? |
30609 | And what manner of preaching is needed for the service of this saving and edifying end? |
30609 | Are we not told to expect new light as years pass on? |
30609 | Are we quite guiltless of seeking in the Christian Society a forgetfulness of the things that wither and blast human souls without? |
30609 | Are we so full of the sense of the triumph drawing nearer that our hearts are already rejoicing with the joy of Harvest? |
30609 | Are we so given up to the enterprise of saving men that we rest not day nor night for very longing for their salvation? |
30609 | Are we so set upon giving glory to Christ that we long for the opportunity to come to speak His name in the congregation? |
30609 | Behind this solicitude the best reasons lie, but is there no danger to these young people in all this amiability? |
30609 | Beside all this, are there not personal experiences in the lives of all of us which make it hard to keep our eyes upon the stars? |
30609 | But suppose that we preached as_ interestingly_ as the politician spoke? |
30609 | Can he forget how the warning ambassador of his hitherto despised Redeemer came to_ him_? |
30609 | Can he forget the mire and the clay and the horrible pit from which a strong hand brought him forth? |
30609 | Can he forget those days of darkness and of shame? |
30609 | Can it be possible, that in some degree, the preaching of the preachers has been to blame for the things we mourn? |
30609 | Can it be that he fell because in the House of Prayer no voice warned him? |
30609 | Can it be that he has committed the greater sin because no reproof was whispered in his ear concerning the beginnings of transgression? |
30609 | Can we not follow them to the dawning of another day, and behold their going forth, once again, to the tasks of life brightly, bravely, cheerily? |
30609 | Confession? |
30609 | Could anything be more fearful than the indictment they laid? |
30609 | Did the messenger suppress the truth because it was hard to utter? |
30609 | Did these men sometimes speak falteringly, and with hesitation, the message in which they asked and promised glorious things? |
30609 | Did they, from the very darkness of the clouds lowering above them, see only the lower slopes of the Mountains of the Lord? |
30609 | Did we emphasise the preacher''s need of a clear view of the infinite, loving purpose behind the work he is sent to carry through? |
30609 | Did we point out his need to discern the true glory of his message, which is that it_ alone_ is the message that is indeed from the heart of God? |
30609 | Did we say that he must come into a consciousness of the true dignity of his office? |
30609 | Do we always ask for_ penitence_ as unmistakably as we ought? |
30609 | Do we never hear it said that"it does not so much matter in_ our_ circuit whether we have a preacher or not"? |
30609 | Do we receive-- do we preach them as we ought? |
30609 | Do we show them the path"o''er moor and fen, o''er crag and torrent,"to the heights that kiss the stars? |
30609 | Do we truly put before them that high life their spirits yearn to live? |
30609 | Do you say that such and such an one ought not to be in the pulpit? |
30609 | Does he stand before thousands-- a man of learning, of eloquence, of far flung fame? |
30609 | Does her faith wax, or wane? |
30609 | Does her love grow colder or warmer with the passing years? |
30609 | Does our preaching answer these instinctive expectations, these deep longings, these inborn hopes in those to whom we are sent? |
30609 | For what is the Christian preacher? |
30609 | Has not every preacher the right to look upon himself as the possible organ of new revelations to his fellows? |
30609 | Has the preacher never been guilty of turning aside from this theme of his to what the Apostle called"cunningly devised fables"? |
30609 | Has this never been done? |
30609 | Have passing years dimmed our ardour? |
30609 | Have they chilled our love? |
30609 | Have we gathered pulpit powers, or lost them, as the days have flown over our heads? |
30609 | Have we never been told that really the man most needed is"a visitor,"or"an organiser,"or"someone who can raise the wind"? |
30609 | Have we this absolutely essential possession in our hearts, in our preaching, as we have had it aforetime, as our fathers had it? |
30609 | How beat her pulses_ now_? |
30609 | How is it with us now? |
30609 | How often in the Old Testament do we find the record of such a revelation? |
30609 | How run the currents of her life in the days that_ are_? |
30609 | Indeed, is any lower interpretation possible on the face of things? |
30609 | Is it absolutely certain that this fact always works out to the advantage of the preacher and his people? |
30609 | Is it not true that some preachers condescend too much from the word given unto them? |
30609 | Is it too late in the argument to ask what this pity really and truly is? |
30609 | Is it well with her, or is it ill? |
30609 | Is it_ quite_ impossible for a young man to be put in peril by our very anxiety to save him? |
30609 | Is there any need for self- reproach on our part, or can we answer all these questions with a gladness increasing with each successive reply? |
30609 | May we call it the human, the temperamental, dispositional part? |
30609 | May we even dare to say that it will be necessary for him to devote much of his strength to what has been termed doctrinal preaching? |
30609 | One more question:--Is the possession of this certainty consistent with progress? |
30609 | Shall we venture to prophesy? |
30609 | So then the man himself matters? |
30609 | Stand we here-- each for himself? |
30609 | Suppose we had learned something from the great dramatist of the art of assailing and winning the attention of the men and women to whom we speak? |
30609 | The more we think of all that is involved the more emphasis we throw into the question--_how has it to be done_? |
30609 | The worst of it is that in our effort to be another we have ceased to be ourselves, and after such a loss what do we still possess? |
30609 | There is much of this kind of doctoring and what is the result of it? |
30609 | They should ask,"_ Can it be that even I am guilty of being dull_?" |
30609 | This question may pave the way for others:--Is there anything amiss with the substance of my preaching, with its methods, with its spirit? |
30609 | This were well if the whole truth were told; but what manner of fatherhood is that of which we all too often hear? |
30609 | Understanding of what? |
30609 | Was not one of the Master''s words to us"It shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak"? |
30609 | Was there no message committed to the preacher for that man as he drew near the parting of the ways? |
30609 | Was there not beef to eat? |
30609 | We do not speak of these unpleasant things, for why be singular in direful prophecy? |
30609 | What but the oft- repeated criticism that the sermon had small practical application to the every- day side of things? |
30609 | What can keep him in countenance among it all? |
30609 | What could have been done more in My vineyard, that I have not done in it? |
30609 | What new device of sensationalism had brought them together? |
30609 | What startling announcement had been flung out over the city to attract this mighty concourse? |
30609 | What, then, is it that is asked? |
30609 | Where do you abhor sin as you abhor it upon the slopes of Calvary? |
30609 | Where do you pity sinners as you pity them there? |
30609 | Where is he? |
30609 | Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?" |
30609 | Who could wonder? |
30609 | Who shall say these critics were wrong? |
30609 | Why not begin with the purpose of finding out how much is true? |
30609 | Why not seek for confirmations as well as for contradictions? |
30609 | Why should he not come into the preacher''s department, into the pulpit, into the study? |
30609 | Why the startling difference? |
30609 | Will our brethren of their charity acquit us of the charge of presumption in taking up the theme now timidly approached? |
30609 | Will such as cherish it join with us in thinking of these things? |
30609 | Will the winning of others be easier than was the victory won over ourselves? |

57121 | ''How can ye believe, which receive glory from one another?'' |
57121 | ''How can ye believe, which receive glory from one another?'' |
57121 | ''_''Who the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?'' |
57121 | And is there, then, such humility to be found, that men shall indeed still count themselves''less than the least of all saints,''the servants of all? |
57121 | And what is His ascension and His glory, but humility exalted to the throne and crowned with glory? |
57121 | And what is His atonement but humility? |
57121 | And what might that be? |
57121 | And what will it be that brings us there? |
57121 | And whence comes it that men who have joyfully given up themselves for Christ, find it so hard to give up themselves for their brethren? |
57121 | And wherein does the exaltation consist? |
57121 | Brother, are you clothed with humility? |
57121 | Brother, have we not here the cause of failure in the pursuit of holiness? |
57121 | Brother, have we not here the reason that our consecration and our faith have availed so little in the pursuit of holiness? |
57121 | But can we hope to reach the stage in which this will be the case? |
57121 | Humility and Faith_''How can ye believe, which receive glory from one another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not? |
57121 | Humility in Daily Life_''He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? |
57121 | Is it any wonder that the Christian life is so often feeble and fruitless, when the very root of the Christ life is neglected, is unknown? |
57121 | Is it any wonder that the joy of salvation is so little felt, when that in which Christ found it and brings it, is so little sought? |
57121 | Is it not the confession of nothingness and helplessness, the surrender and the waiting to let God work? |
57121 | Is it not this, though we knew it not, that made our consecration and our faith so superficial and so short- lived? |
57121 | Is not the blame with the Church? |
57121 | Is not this what Jesus taught? |
57121 | JUST yesterday I was asked the question, How am I to conquer this pride? |
57121 | May not one reason be that in the teaching and example of the Church, it has never had that place of supreme importance which belongs to it? |
57121 | This gives us the answer to the question so often asked, and of which the meaning is so seldom clearly apprehended: How can I die to self? |
57121 | What is His life on earth but humility; His taking the form of a servant? |
57121 | What is the incarnation but His heavenly humility, His emptying Himself and becoming man? |
57121 | What is then, or in what lies, the great struggle for eternal life? |
57121 | What shall we say to these things? |
57121 | What will be the chief distinction in the heavenly kingdom? |

7957 | Are you seventy? |
7957 | Charlie,he said,"do n''t you think it is time for you to be a Christian?" |
7957 | Did you ever hear about prayer? |
7957 | Do n''t you believe the Bible? |
7957 | Do n''t you think that there is something in it? |
7957 | Do you think the trouble is with the Bible, or with yourself? 7957 How about those trips''round the Horn, on the clipper ship''Mary Jane''from''49 to''55?" |
7957 | How old are you, Captain Sam? |
7957 | How will you get there? |
7957 | Jim Woodbury,he answered,"do n''t you see him? |
7957 | Jim who? |
7957 | Oh, what''s the use? |
7957 | Piece of what? 7957 Well, do n''t you think that if you were to pray to God for faith, God would give it to you?" |
7957 | Well, were n''t you with Captain Lovett on four of his three- year trading voyages to Australia and China? |
7957 | Well, you were on the Old Dove with Skipper Jimmie Stone, were n''t you? |
7957 | Well,I thought,"this is too bad, but why could n''t I help him out? |
7957 | What is there that you ca n''t believe? |
7957 | You were on the Constitution, when she fought the Guerriere, were n''t you? |
7957 | About this time John asked me,"Well, what do you think?" |
7957 | And then came the question,"Wo n''t you do it?" |
7957 | But I lay awake far into the night, thinking, feeling the beating of my heart, wondering what kept it going and"what if it should stop suddenly?" |
7957 | But I was weary with the effort, and as I thought it over, I said to myself"What are you trying to do?" |
7957 | But how can a man believe what he does not believe?" |
7957 | But_ how_ probable? |
7957 | But_ which way_ shall we go? |
7957 | Do n''t you think that, if you had faith, as a Christian man, the Bible would be a different book to you?" |
7957 | How could I go back and tell them that I had decided to do the thing that I had ridiculed and scoffed at in their presence? |
7957 | How could he deny it? |
7957 | Possibly within ten miles, probably within twenty- five, certainly within_ fifty_, some fishermen were plying their trade, but_ where_? |
7957 | Then came the thought, How did they begin to have faith? |
7957 | Was it possible that my skepticism had been well founded, that there was nothing in the so- called"Christian experience"after all? |
7957 | We had nowhere else to go; we had come as far as we could; our time was nearly up-- what of the night? |
7957 | What would it mean for me to answer this question in the affirmative? |
7957 | What''s that over there?" |
7957 | Where is he?" |
7957 | With this last thought came the question, How did these men live the victorious life? |
7957 | and what of the morning? |
16305 | ''Then it does n''t all depend upon the place where the fruit is grown?'' 16305 ''Unkind?'' |
16305 | ''What is it? 16305 ''What is it?'' |
16305 | ''What is it?'' 16305 ''Why,''inquired the teacher,''do you think the moon is of more benefit to the world than the sun is?'' |
16305 | And is there a message for us older ones on this Cradle Roll Day? 16305 And is there a message to the grandfathers and grandmothers on this glad day? |
16305 | And is there a message to the parent which sheds any light on the way they should treat their children? 16305 And so, I answer the question that I asked at the beginning, who are these mothers? |
16305 | And what do you think, children-- did the kite reach the man in the moon? 16305 And what was that mission? |
16305 | Are your hands the kind that clasp other hands in warm friendship? 16305 Boys and girls, on this Rally Day, let me ask you: Are you going to let your life grow to be like this tree? |
16305 | Boys, are you letting any bad habits grow into your life? 16305 But is this cheerfulness for the sole benefit of the one who smiles? |
16305 | Did you ever see a palmist read a hand? 16305 Do you ever harbor such thoughts about people who have made good in the commercial life? |
16305 | Do you like to draw? 16305 Do you like to speak? |
16305 | Do you understand, boys and girls, that it was the thing which this mother put into the life of her boy that made him a great and a good man? 16305 Does cigarette smoking make criminals out of boys? |
16305 | Does cigarette smoking make failures out of boys? 16305 Does it mean, then, that we should look ahead, and see nothing before us but the grave-- the end of all? |
16305 | Does the message say anything about how the boys and girls should treat their fathers and their mothers? 16305 Have you ever stopped to think what good eyes God has? |
16305 | How about you, boys? 16305 How may we best reflect this light of heaven? |
16305 | How, then, are we to make our resolutions good? 16305 Is it a true portrait? |
16305 | It seems strange-- doesn''t it-- that fish can be fooled in this way? 16305 Let us first ask the question,''How did she reach the high place to which she has been able to attain?'' |
16305 | Now, what do you think this food is? 16305 Now, what has made the difference in these two men? |
16305 | Now, why did it seem impossible? 16305 Said one girl to another,''Do n''t you think Julia is a splendid girl?'' |
16305 | That was certainly a strange kind of an answer; was n''t it? 16305 The great question is, why can they not see the danger? |
16305 | Then why look down upon the poor man-- the laboring man? 16305 What does Paul mean? |
16305 | What does it signify when we do this? 16305 What else did he learn? |
16305 | What had wrought this great change? 16305 What is this great evil power? |
16305 | What is this? 16305 Who were these people? |
16305 | ''Are you ready?'' |
16305 | ''Who hath woe? |
16305 | ''Who hath woe? |
16305 | 103]"Boys and girls, what does the flag stand for? |
16305 | 115]"What was the matter with the tree? |
16305 | 127]"Now boys, why did the kite fall, when the string broke? |
16305 | 129]"Did you ever hear anything to beat that? |
16305 | 14]"_ Did Benjamin Franklin depend upon luck?_ Never! |
16305 | 27]"Why did the boys in blue rally round this flag? |
16305 | 54]"Have I said she was helpless? |
16305 | 59]"And are we not like the fish? |
16305 | 70]"Now, then we ask, can the moon shine upon the earth all of itself without any help? |
16305 | 80]"Now, I want to see, by having you hold up your hands, just how many of you boys like to go fishing? |
16305 | 93]"Well, now, would n''t it be foolish for us to go about finding flaws in God''s creatures, like this? |
16305 | A dead branch, did you say? |
16305 | A nice- looking little thought comes along and says,''Why not cheat just a little? |
16305 | Ah, do n''t you know that when the bulb produces new bulbs the original bulb dies? |
16305 | And again of the lazy hand, he says,''How long wilt thou sleep? |
16305 | And how can a seared, defiled, dead conscience help him to shun temptation and sin? |
16305 | And is n''t that exactly the case with a lot of good- looking, well- dressed people? |
16305 | And what about the first boy? |
16305 | And what could be more beautiful than the pictures of the devotion of the mother of Jesus to Him who was to be the Savior of the world? |
16305 | And what do the possessors of riches expect as a harvest in return for the sowing of their wealth? |
16305 | And what does it mean to be steadfast? |
16305 | And what has come to take the place of these which were only dreams? |
16305 | And what is public sentiment? |
16305 | And who are these experts? |
16305 | And who will it help? |
16305 | And why not? |
16305 | And you, girls? |
16305 | Are they hands that crush heartlessly? |
16305 | Are they hands that drag downward? |
16305 | Are they hands that grope into the dark places and do more harm than good? |
16305 | Are they hands that help to lighten the burdens of other people? |
16305 | Are they hands that help wherever and whenever they can? |
16305 | Are they hands that lie idly and fold indolently? |
16305 | Are they hands that lift up the fallen one and point him to Him who said,''Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden?'' |
16305 | Are they hands that pull backward? |
16305 | Are they hands that slap insultingly? |
16305 | Are they hands that strike in cruelty? |
16305 | Are they hands that stroke the fevered brow? |
16305 | Are they hands that take food and clothing to the poor? |
16305 | Are they hands that tear pitilessly? |
16305 | Are they hands which are busy every day doing good, honest work? |
16305 | Are they?_"In God''s word, we find the hand mentioned more than a hundred times. |
16305 | Are they?_"Or, are they hands that clench in anger? |
16305 | Are they?_"Or, are they hands that clench in anger? |
16305 | Are they?_"Or, are they hands that drop lazily? |
16305 | Are they?_"Or, are they hands that drop lazily? |
16305 | Are we a friend to those who need us? |
16305 | Are we crazy? |
16305 | Are you getting chummy with other boys whose companionship is not good and whose words and deeds you would not dare to talk about at home? |
16305 | Are you reading useless books and letting the treasures of literature on mother''s bookshelf at home go untouched? |
16305 | Are you wasting your time running after pleasures and amusements that do n''t help you to be better boys? |
16305 | Boys, may we plead with you today never to allow this thing to enter your life to keep you from being all that God wants you to be?" |
16305 | But I wonder how many of us do a similar thing when we see the real woods, the real lake and the real flowers? |
16305 | But how can we smile unless we feel like it? |
16305 | But were they perfect? |
16305 | But what had become of the original bulbs? |
16305 | But what may one lose when he puts the drunkard''s glass to the lips of a young man? |
16305 | Can you make a five- pointed star with one clip? |
16305 | Can you see the boy? |
16305 | Did you ever hear of him? |
16305 | Did you ever think of your thoughts as your visitors? |
16305 | Do n''t you want this one?'' |
16305 | Do we welcome such a man to our homes? |
16305 | Do you get the idea? |
16305 | Do you know it is a fact that a man, seated quietly in an easy chair on his front porch on a summer evening, may be sinning against God and man? |
16305 | Do you know, I would rather see a boy with jam smeared all over his cheeks than to hear a''smutty''remark from his lips? |
16305 | Do you love music? |
16305 | Do you not see that we would soon starve? |
16305 | Do you plan to study medicine, or law, or to be a teacher? |
16305 | Does n''t that sound strange? |
16305 | Faulty? |
16305 | Girls, is n''t it a pity? |
16305 | Has n''t some alluring amusement or pastime brought disappointment or shame when you thought it would bring delight and satisfaction? |
16305 | Have n''t you been fooled into thinking something was good for you when it turned out to be bad? |
16305 | Have n''t you bitten into any baited hooks during the past year? |
16305 | He does n''t look as if he had a care in all the world, does he? |
16305 | He was so much interested that he spoke to the man, saying:"''Since you are blind, why do you carry a lantern? |
16305 | He was working in a distant city, and there, alone, how do you suppose he started in to get rid of his habit? |
16305 | How are we to be sure that the new leaf which we turn over will not be blown back again by the first wind of passion or discouragement which comes? |
16305 | How did he look upon them? |
16305 | How do we know it? |
16305 | How many of you ever heard of him? |
16305 | How would he act? |
16305 | How, then, can it be made to produce such big, splendid plums when no other tree in the neighborhood grows such luscious fruit? |
16305 | I wonder if we have all heard of the tragedy of this great book and the sorrow which came to its author? |
16305 | Ice cream? |
16305 | If the wind is blowing from the west, which way do you run to make the kite go up? |
16305 | If you run with the wind, the kite wo n''t go up at all, will it? |
16305 | Is n''t it simple? |
16305 | It is a significant fact that the first recorded words of Jesus Christ are,''Wist ye not that I must be about my father''s business?'' |
16305 | It would be impossible to find, in the world''s history a life in which some imperfection did not lurk? |
16305 | It''s a seedy- looking old hat, is n''t it? |
16305 | Or is it to be like this one? |
16305 | Rice? |
16305 | Should the discovery of faults and imperfections in ourselves or in others discourage us from trying to follow in the footsteps of the Perfect One? |
16305 | So the light will shine on the roadway and we will be able to see where we are going and thus avoid mishap and injury? |
16305 | Then what was the matter with John? |
16305 | They, too? |
16305 | This sounds like a dime novel tale, does n''t it? |
16305 | WHAT IS BEST? |
16305 | Was he happy? |
16305 | We will laugh and quaff; all things delight us; what care we for the future? |

21987 | If He loves us, will He not care for us? |
21987 | If I were to go into a Temple of the Hindoos, or into a Synagogue of the Jews, and were to ask,"What think ye of Christ?" |
21987 | If I were to put the question to you,"What think ye of Christ?" |
21987 | If we knew that an inheritance of a thousand pounds was ours if we applied for it, should we not apply? |

21987 | Is God not our Father? |
21987 | Is God short of Names that He should be thus designated? |

21987 | Is all done? |

21987 | Is it sad? |
21987 | Is it those who are conscientious and scrupulous to drive away evil thoughts? |
21987 | Is it wasted in lounging about, ferreting rabbits, idle talking? |
21987 | Is not this enough to make man proud, to exalt him in his own conceit? |
21987 | Is not this very much like what takes place among men? |
21987 | Is such a battle to be won when we go into it without any desire to be conquerors? |

21987 | Now for you!--Whither are you going? |
21987 | Now if this be so, how ought we to live? |
21987 | Now what are some of these effects? |
21987 | Now, how did Hanun act? |
21987 | Now, what should Hanun have done? |
21987 | Now, what would he say?--He would lift up his hands in horror, and say,"What is this? |
21987 | On whose side was the laugh now? |
21987 | On whose side was the laugh then? |
21987 | Or dogs to drive them? |
21987 | Or is there much idling and talking when you are unobserved? |
21987 | Or those who allow their heads and hearts to be hives in which they dwell? |
21987 | Ought it to disquiet us in our work? |
21987 | Ought it to mar our happiness? |
21987 | Ought we to thrust the thought away from us as horrible? |
21987 | She was a good kind- hearted woman, who had shown much hospitality to the prophet Elijah[ Transcriber''s note: Elisha?]. |
21987 | Some while after, Philip said to his courtiers,"How does Nicanor speak of me now?" |
21987 | Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? |
21987 | The master has a strong suspicion where they have been: however, he asks,"Why were you not at school this morning?" |
21987 | Then David answered,"Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? |
21987 | Then Philip said,"Do you not see? |
21987 | Then!--how was it with those men and women who had made fun of Noah? |
21987 | Then, what do you suppose Metabus resorted to? |

52958 | What is Paradise? 52958 And fifteen years after, and more, I was answered in ghostly understanding, saying thus:_ Wouldst thou learn[3] thy Lord''s meaning in this thing? 52958 And fifteen years afterwards and more, I was answered in ghostly understanding, saying thus:_ Wouldst thou learn thy Lord''s meaning in this thing? 52958 And in the second reason, where He saith:_ How should it then be?_ etc., this was said for an impossible[ thing]. 52958 And thus said He in this Shewing:_ Where is now any point of thy pain, or thy grief?_ And we shall be full blessed. 52958 And what may make us more to enjoy in God than to see in Him that He enjoyeth in the highest of all His works? 52958 And why? 52958 Bradley''s_ Dictionary of Middle English-- thun(? 52958 But what then shalt thou finde? 52958 CHAPTER XVIIHow might any pain be more to me than to see Him that is all my life, and all my bliss, and all my joy suffer?" |

52958 | How should any thing be amiss?_ Thus mightily, wisely, and lovingly was the soul examined in this Vision. |
52958 | How should it now be that thou shouldst anything pray that pleaseth me but that I should full gladly grant it thee? |
52958 | I beheld and considered, with a soft dread, and thought:_ What is sin?_"( xi.). |
52958 | I thought:_ Is any pain like this?_ And I was answered in my reason:_ Hell is another pain: for there is despair. |
52958 | Is it not fitting that I award him[ for] his affright and his dread, his hurt and his maim and all his woe? |
52958 | It is like no bodily thing; What is it then saist thou? |
52958 | Lord Jesus, King of bliss, how shall I be eased? |
52958 | Then brought our Lord merrily to my mind:_ Where is now any point of the pain, or of thy grief?_ And I was full merry. |
52958 | Thou hast lost him, but where? |

52958 | _ THE ELEVENTH REVELATION_ CHAPTER XXV"I wot well that thou wouldst see my blessed Mother....""Wilt thou see in her how thou art loved?" |
52958 | p. 45,"Where is now any point of thy pain?" |
11713 | Beloved, what manner of love is this,wherewith God hath loved us? |
11713 | Shall we receive good at the hand of the Lord, and shall we not receive evil? |
11713 | What pledge dost thou give for the performance of these conditions? |
11713 | When wilt thou perform them? |
11713 | Where,and Justice,"is the Son of God?" |
11713 | Why canst thou not enter? |
11713 | Addressing Himself to Justice, He said:"What are thy demands?" |
11713 | After so long a preparation of goodness, could He mean to deny forgiveness to the penitent and the humble? |
11713 | Again: Had there been neither natural nor moral evil in the world, what must have become of patience, meekness, gentleness, long- suffering? |
11713 | Age may perhaps have calmed your passions, but what was your youth? |
11713 | Age, disgust, and establishment for life, fix the heart and withdraw it from debauchery: but where are those who are converted? |
11713 | And can you now say from your heart Lord, thou mayest justly damn me for the best duties that ever I did perform? |
11713 | And did He not know the baneful consequences which this must naturally have on all his posterity? |
11713 | And is not an inveterate evil very difficult to cure? |
11713 | And is this sentiment combined with a sacred resolution to go and sin no more,--to devote yourself to the service of your divine Benefactor? |
11713 | And now stand forth ye righteous:--where are ye? |
11713 | And pray what is that? |
11713 | And this effeminate habit I have of refining on pleasure, will it render me only the more sensible of my destruction and anguish? |
11713 | And what a glorious spectacle is this? |
11713 | And what can be my hopes in eternity? |
11713 | And what is still more awful, does He not daily come without either warning or messenger? |
11713 | And what is that? |
11713 | And who can censure this delay? |
11713 | And why then did He permit that disobedience? |
11713 | Are these the only benefits you can receive without gratitude, and suffer to pass unregarded How, then, can any love of God dwell in your bosom? |
11713 | Are we in our senses, my dear hearers? |
11713 | Are you innocent? |
11713 | Are you penitent? |
11713 | But I again ask you-- Where, among us, are penitents of this description? |
11713 | But are we not mistaken concerning Felix? |
11713 | But do sinners owe nothing beyond this? |
11713 | But is the"kingdom of God within you?" |
11713 | But is there no mercy? |
11713 | But what are we to conclude from these awful truths? |
11713 | But what became of the Church? |
11713 | But what would it serve to limit the fruits of this instruction to the single point of setting forth how few persons will be saved? |
11713 | But where are her tyrants, and where their empires? |
11713 | But who can here supply the brevity of the historian, and report the whole of what the apostle said to Felix on these important points? |
11713 | But who has assured me that at a future period I shall have opportunities of conversion? |
11713 | But who has told me that God at a future period will accompany His word with the powerful aids of grace? |
11713 | But who has told me that I shall ever desire to be converted? |
11713 | But who has told me that I shall live to a future period? |
11713 | But with what am I taking up time? |
11713 | Canst thou look upon that scene and not pity? |
11713 | Canst thou pity, and not relieve?" |
11713 | Could you ever say, My sins are gone over my head as a burden too heavy for me to bear? |
11713 | Did He excite in the hearts of His creatures such encouraging hopes, without any intention to fulfil them? |
11713 | Did Jesus Christ ever convince you in this manner? |
11713 | Did Jesus Christ ever give Himself to you? |
11713 | Did ever any such thing as this pass between God and your soul? |
11713 | Did he ever convince you of your inability to close with Christ, and make you to cry out to God to give you faith? |
11713 | Did not the speech of St. Paul make a deeper impression upon him than we seem to allow? |
11713 | Did peace ever flow in upon your hearts like a river? |
11713 | Did you ever close with Christ by a lively faith, so as to feel Christ in your hearts, so as to hear Him speaking peace to your souls? |
11713 | Did you ever experience any such thing as this? |
11713 | Did you ever feel that peace that Christ spoke to His disciples? |
11713 | Did you ever feel the want of Jesus Christ, upon the account of the deficiency of your own righteousness? |
11713 | Did you ever feel the want of a dear Redeemer? |
11713 | Did you ever see that God''s wrath might justly fall upon you, on account of your actual transgressions against God? |
11713 | Do not habits become confirmed in proportion as they are indulged? |
11713 | Do you believe that the number would at least be equal? |
11713 | Do you believe that there would even be found ten upright and faithful servants of the Lord, when formerly five cities could not furnish that number? |
11713 | Do you not see that this was the very ground of His coming into the world? |
11713 | Does he not assail the prince in his palace and the peasant in his cottage? |
11713 | Does not death advance every moment with gigantic strides? |
11713 | For it is possible to believe that such great operations, as I have endeavored to describe, were carried on by the Almighty in vain? |
11713 | For who could have returned good for evil, had there been no evil- doer in the universe? |
11713 | Has not your heart, and probably your lips too, joined in the general charge? |
11713 | Hath he said it, and will he not do it? |
11713 | Hath he spoken it, and shall it not come to pass?" |
11713 | How can you ascend to the very sun itself, when you can not enjoy even the faint reflection of its glory? |
11713 | How could it be otherwise? |
11713 | How had it been possible, on that supposition, to overcome evil with good? |
11713 | How shall this phenomenon be explained? |
11713 | How, then, do you regard these decided followers of God? |
11713 | If God so loved us, how ought we to love one another? |
11713 | If I can not bear the excision of a slight gangrene, how shall I sustain the operation when the wound is deep? |
11713 | If the features of holiness and grace in the creature are not attractive to your view, how can your affections rise to the perfect essence? |
11713 | If you could only be exempt from its afflictions, would you wish it to be your lasting home? |
11713 | If you could surround yourself with all its advantages and enjoyments, would you be content to dwell in it forever? |
11713 | If, on the contrary, Paul had truth and argument on his side, why did Felix send him away? |
11713 | In all these traits, do you not recognize the Christian walking in the narrow way, the way of tribulation, marked by his Master''s feet? |
11713 | Is the Lord Jesus"in you the hope of glory?" |
11713 | Is there no means of salvation? |
11713 | Long and habitual infirmities may perhaps have disgusted you with the world; but what use did you formerly make of the vigor of health? |
11713 | Might we not thence infer that the truths discust by St. Paul were not of serious importance? |
11713 | My dear friends, were you ever married to Jesus Christ? |
11713 | My dear friends, what is there in our performance to recommend us unto God? |
11713 | Now are they penitent? |
11713 | Now permit me to ask where are the penitent? |
11713 | Now who would not rather be on the footing he is now; under a covenant of mercy? |
11713 | Now, can anything be more capable of alarming a soul, in whom some remains of care for his salvation shall exist? |
11713 | Now, my dear friends, did God ever show you that you had no faith? |
11713 | Now, of which party are you? |
11713 | Now, who are the just and faithful assembled here at present? |
11713 | Of wicked men? |
11713 | Or, rather, far from finding in them occasions of penitence, do you not turn them into the objects of new crimes? |
11713 | Our persons are in an unjustified state by nature; we deserve to be damned ten thousand times over; and what must our performance be? |
11713 | Shall I have neither delicious meats nor voluptuous delights? |
11713 | Shall I, accustomed to indulgence and pleasure, become a prey to the worm that dieth not and fuel to the fire which is not quenched? |
11713 | Shall I, who avoid pain with so much caution, be condemned to eternal torments? |
11713 | Shall it not expand our views, and warm our hearts, and nerve our arm in our efforts to exalt His fame? |
11713 | Tear it to pieces, and scatter it to the winds? |
11713 | That all must despair of salvation? |
11713 | The angels asked,"Why wilt thou not suffer Mercy to enter?" |
11713 | The question is not whether you have any sins,--none can admit a doubt on this point; the only inquiry is, how you are affected by those sins? |
11713 | The simple question, then, to which I would call your attention, is this:"Am I, or am I not, a sincere lover of the Author of my being?" |
11713 | Transfer this representation to your conduct in relation to God:"If I,"says He,"am a father, where is my fear? |
11713 | Unto which of them said he, at any time, Thou art my son?" |
11713 | Upon what claim? |
11713 | Was ever the remembrance of your sins grievous to you? |
11713 | Was it ever the language of your heart, Lord, give me faith; Lord, enable me to lay hold on Thee; Lord, enable me to call Thee my Lord and my God? |
11713 | Was it not easy for the Almighty to have prevented it?" |
11713 | Was it not to remedy this very thing that"the Word was made flesh"? |
11713 | Was the burden of your sins intolerable to your thoughts? |
11713 | We are all desirous of peace; peace is an unspeakable blessing; how can we live without peace? |
11713 | We are, at the present moment, witnesses of the fact; but who can unfold the mystery? |
11713 | Well, and is it not, to our sorrow, with the new life that is like Christ''s resurrection life? |
11713 | Were you ever in all your life sorry for your sins? |
11713 | Were you ever made to bewail a hard heart of unbelief? |
11713 | What am I doing for heaven? |
11713 | What are the causes which render salvation so rare? |
11713 | What consolation amid their losses and their sufferings, but that of the fellow- sufferers plunged in the same abyss of ruin? |
11713 | What did He do with it? |
11713 | What do I say? |
11713 | What hast thou done unto Him? |
11713 | What hour? |
11713 | What is a penitent? |
11713 | What is the necessary consequence of this? |
11713 | What reception will they meet with, and where? |
11713 | What room could there be for trust in God if there was no such thing as pain or danger? |
11713 | When the sinner is first awakened, he begins to wonder, How came I to be so wicked? |
11713 | When they had thus given an account of who others said He was, Christ asks them, who they said He was? |
11713 | Whence proceeded this fear, and this confusion? |
11713 | Where are those who expiate their crimes by tears of sorrow and true repentance? |
11713 | Where are those who, having begun as sinners, end as penitents? |
11713 | Where can you find such an assemblage of high virtues, and of great events, as concurred at the death of Christ? |
11713 | Where so many testimonials given to the dignity of the dying person by earth and by heaven? |
11713 | Where, then, is the man that presumes to blame God for not preventing Adam''s sin? |
11713 | While Paul may plant and Apollos may water, is it not God who gives the increase? |
11713 | Who am I? |
11713 | Who are they? |
11713 | Who can look for pure water from such a fountain? |
11713 | Who even knows them? |
11713 | Who has assured me that God will continue to call me, and that another Paul shall thunder in my ears? |
11713 | Who might not say then,"The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" |
11713 | Who of us would not immediately apply to his conscience, to examine if its crimes merited not this punishment? |
11713 | Who of us, seized with dread, would not demand of our Savior, as did the apostles, crying out,"Lord, is it I?" |
11713 | Who shall be daunted by difficulties, or deterred by discouragement? |
11713 | Who shall be saved? |
11713 | Who shall be saved? |
11713 | Who shall be saved? |
11713 | Who will merit salvation? |
11713 | Who would wish to hazard a whole eternity upon one stake? |
11713 | Who, indeed, will pretend to salvation by the chain of innocence? |
11713 | Why was he so weak as to admit this panic of terror? |
11713 | Why, then, do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
11713 | Why, then, do you hesitate to yield yourselves and your interests to the guidance of your Maker? |
11713 | Will you say,"But all these graces might have been divinely infused into the hearts of men?" |
11713 | You are penitent to the world, but are you so to Jesus Christ? |
11713 | always to remain immersed in the shadows of time-- entombed in its corruptible possessions? |
11713 | canst thou not enter? |
11713 | how little are the terrors of Thy law known to the world? |
11713 | if I am a master, where is my honor?" |
11713 | is Thy ear heavy, that Thou canst not hear? |
11713 | never to ascend up on high to God and Christ and the glories of the eternal world? |
11713 | or Thy arm shortened, that Thou canst not save? |
11713 | or are you? |
11713 | or, with the beloved disciple,"We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren"? |
11713 | that he was destitute of extraneous aids? |
11713 | that"as in Adam all died, so in Christ all might be made alive"? |
11713 | where is thy sting? |
11713 | where is thy victory"? |
11713 | who fulfils them? |
11713 | who thus livest so tranquil? |
11713 | who will deliver me from this body of death, this indwelling corruption in my heart?" |
11713 | who will give them a welcome when they enter an eternal state? |
11713 | will be entitled to salvation? |

47747 | 6_s._= WAS ISRAEL EVER IN EGYPT? |
47747 | Are we willing to take up the cross of sacrifice and suffer gladly with and in the passion of Incarnate Love? |
47747 | But is this really the case? |
47747 | But, it will be asked, how does this view of life eliminate suffering as an evil from the world? |
47747 | Can endorsement of this supposition be drawn from the realm of Natural Science? |
47747 | Can it truly be the Will of God that the innocent shall suffer for the guilty, the pure for the impure, the just for the unjust? |
47747 | Did not Christ thus challenge the criticism of the future? |
47747 | Do not the joys of love in its human relations between friends, husband and wife, parents and children, rest on a mutual surrender of self- interest? |
47747 | How can we expect to train our children in the ways of Truth if we give them no consistent standard for estimating what is true? |
47747 | How has His appeal to posterity been answered? |
47747 | How has His recommendation to test His words by the Spirit of Truth been obeyed? |
47747 | How then, can the destiny of man be said to be superior to that of the beasts? |
47747 | If so, for what end are these things ordained? |
47747 | If the light of God be in men, shall they not by that light perceive His glory? |
47747 | In short, is a belief in the immortal soul of man compatible with the evolutionary theory of his physical descent? |
47747 | Is not his body an artistic expression of the divine Spirit of Life, in whose likeness he is made? |
47747 | Is not man a dual creature? |
47747 | Is not the one an expression of the other, as Nature-- the vesture of God-- is the expression of the Spirit of Life? |
47747 | Is the authority claimed and exercised by the Church over the souls and minds of men to be unquestioned? |
47747 | Is the training of spiritual consciousness less important than the education and nourishment of the body? |
47747 | Is there not in reality fundamental unity between the secular and sacred aspects of all natural phenomena? |
47747 | Is there really such a thing as the soul? |
47747 | Meanwhile, can we not watch one hour? |
47747 | Or shall we resent the sacrifice of ourselves in the forwarding of His Will? |
47747 | Shall we give ourselves to God in willing co- operation with the divine regenerating purpose of life? |
47747 | Was not the Feast of the Passover, which He was then keeping with His apostles, a sacrifice of blood? |
47747 | What are its distinctive qualities, and how is its presence in personality to be recognised? |
47747 | What is? |
47747 | What kingdom divided against itself can stand? |
47747 | What more fitting material for His purpose than the common daily food and drink of people of all classes? |
47747 | What reasonable evidence is forthcoming in support of the conjecture? |
47747 | Whither are we tending? |
47747 | Without the hunger of mind and body, how could the nourishment necessary for the continuity of mental and physical life be obtained? |
9071 | And what is this but the strongest possible corroboration of our assertion as Christians that Jesus was executed upon a cross- shaped instrument? |
9071 | And, was it a caricature of the execution of Jesus? |
9071 | But can we fairly do so? |
9071 | But did the so- called Monogram of Christ first come into being as a combination of two letters; Greek, Roman, or otherwise? |
9071 | But was the"star and crescent"the symbol of the City of Constantine? |
9071 | But-- the reader may object-- how about the Greek word which in our Bibles is translated as"crucify"or"crucified?" |
9071 | Does not that mean"fix to a cross"or"fixed to a cross?" |
9071 | For your very standards, as well as your banners, and flags of your camps, what are they but crosses gilded and adorned? |
9071 | The references in question commence with the enquiry,"Let us further ask whether the Lord took any care to foreshadow the Water and the Stauros?" |
9071 | WAS THE_ STAUROS_ OF JESUS CROSS- SHAPED? |
9071 | WAS THE_ STAUROS_ OF JESUS CROSS- SHAPED? |
9071 | Was_ that_ what Jesus meant, and all that the so- called cross effected? |
9071 | What, for instance, can be more unfair than the assumption that God, if incarnated as one of the genus Homo, must have been born a male? |
9071 | What, then, does this important witness have to say, which bears upon the points at issue? |
9071 | Whether such men as these, or Ptolemaeus, who never saw the apostles and who never even in his dreams attained to the slightest trace of an apostle? |
9071 | Whom, then, should we rather believe? |
37292 | Children,He asks,"have ye any meat?" |

37292 | 13._ Why? |
37292 | 14, 23._ Do we, like Him, combine the two great elements of human character? |
37292 | 14._ O my soul, is not this enough? |
37292 | 18._ Believer, you are anticipating the time when you shall join the saints above in ascribing all glory to Jesus; but are you glorifying Him_ now_? |
37292 | 18._ Have I begun this path of heavenly love and knowledge now? |
37292 | 2._ And how is that to be done? |
37292 | 2._ Dost thou want nothing? |
37292 | 2._ Have we no garments of blue, and purple, and beautiful suggestiveness? |
37292 | 26._ What is thy_ season_ this morning? |
37292 | 27._ Unbelief says,"How can such and such things be?" |

37292 | Am I progressing in it? |
37292 | And have we no golden bells? |
37292 | And have we no ornaments? |
37292 | And he cried out from the steeple:"Where art thou, Lord?" |
37292 | And where are they not set? |
37292 | And wherefore does God act thus? |
37292 | Are our_ public_ duties, the cares, and business, and engrossments of the world, finely tempered and hallowed by a_ secret_ walk with God? |
37292 | Are there not others who would dry their tears if we would remind them of past joys, when we were poor as they are now? |
37292 | Are there not those who would taste the joys of heaven if we wrote them words of forgiveness and affection? |
37292 | Are we being embraced by the world by its honors, its pleasures, its applause? |
37292 | Are we compromising with the enemies of God? |
37292 | Art thou remembering thy double parentage, and therefore thy double duty? |
37292 | Behold, this river of God is full for thy supply; what canst thou desire beside? |
37292 | But let the song of the bird cease, and the fruit of the tree fall; and will my heart still go on to sing? |
37292 | By bearing"leaves,"--a_ profession_ of love for Him? |
37292 | By bearing_ some_ fruit? |
37292 | Canst thou meet in contact with the sinful and be thyself undefiled? |
37292 | Canst thou touch the vile and polluted ones of earth and retain thy garments pure? |
37292 | Canst thou walk in white through the stained thoroughfares of men? |
37292 | Did you lose Christ by neglecting the Scriptures? |
37292 | Did you lose Christ by sin? |
37292 | Didst thou ever consider the depth of love in the heart of Jehovah, when God the Father equipped His Son for the great enterprise of mercy? |
37292 | Do I feel some dawnings of the heavenly light, earnests and antepasts of the full day of glory? |
37292 | Do not little strokes fell lofty oaks? |
37292 | Do not the little foxes spoil the grapes? |
37292 | Do we not need the new sense of Christ''s presence in our hearts and the joys of the Holy Ghost? |
37292 | Do you not see it dotted with ten thousand blessings in disguise? |
37292 | Do you want to speak for Jesus to those around you? |
37292 | Does not that voice come to us? |
37292 | Dost thou need more strength than the omnipotence of the united Trinity? |
37292 | Doth not the tiny coral insect build a rock which wrecks a navy? |
37292 | Has not Infinite Love encircled every event with its everlasting arms, and gilded every cloud with its merciful lining? |
37292 | Has your life helped you to do that? |
37292 | Hast thou no mercy to ask of God? |
37292 | Have you lost Christ in the closet by restraining prayer? |
37292 | Have you made up your mind that you will follow your Master everywhere else, save when he ascends the path that leads to the cross? |
37292 | How are the two to be connected? |
37292 | How can He go till He has healed the Magdalene''s broken heart? |
37292 | How can this be done? |
37292 | How was this? |
37292 | If the world were to follow us from its busy thoroughfares, would it trace us to our family altars and our closet devotions? |
37292 | If we often require the sharp blasts of trial to develop our graces, do we not also need the warm south breezes of His mercy? |
37292 | Is Christ born in thee? |
37292 | Is it a season of great heaviness and black clouds? |
37292 | Is it adding joy to other men''s lives? |
37292 | Is it not a poison? |
37292 | Is it not written of the Son of Man that"as He_ prayed_ the fashion of His countenance was altered"? |
37292 | Is it the season of drought? |
37292 | Is not this the miracle of cleansing which our spirits need in such a world as this? |
37292 | Is so commonplace a scene as the life of the family circle fit to be a temple for the service of God? |
37292 | Is so narrow a sphere worthy to be the object of faith? |
37292 | Is that a reason why you should avoid or not undertake the duty? |
37292 | Is that your religion? |
37292 | Is the King''s image visibly, permanently, stamped upon us? |
37292 | Is there no holy of holies where thou canst catch a glow of impulse that will make thee strong? |

37292 | Is there not work waiting for us-- work that no one else can do-- work, too, that the Master has promised to help us perform? |
37292 | Is thy life like that manger-- precious as a casket, because of what it holds? |
37292 | Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
37292 | Let us, then, take all our perplexities to Him and say,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" |
37292 | May we not find a great truth in the very position in which God placed His chosen people? |
37292 | McLaren._= January 27th.=_ Are there not twelve hours in the day? |

37292 | O my soul, wouldst thou have thy life glorified, beautified, transfigured to the eyes of men? |
37292 | Of what use is a"seal"if it can not be seen? |
37292 | Oh, has not Jesus stood at your side when you knew it not? |
37292 | Or shall the Son of Righteousness, when He appears, find us waiting, as that painter waited, looking and longing for the first gleam of day? |
37292 | Shall He come and find that we still sleep? |
37292 | Sin, a little thing? |

37292 | The ark was a great undertaking, but what was it undertaken for? |
37292 | They are compelled to bear the cross, but how does it come? |
37292 | Was not its heaviest task yet to come? |
37292 | Was, then, my divine command a delusion? |
37292 | What are you building inside it? |
37292 | What does this teach us? |
37292 | What doubt is there that will not be slain by this two- edged sword? |
37292 | What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God''s covenant? |
37292 | What is our pen doing? |
37292 | What kind of a structure will be disclosed when the scaffolding is knocked away? |
37292 | What, then, of the majesty all about us, heights, and depths, and wonders? |
37292 | Who knows its deadliness? |
37292 | Why did He say that His work was done? |
37292 | Why dost thou not retire oftener with thyself? |
37292 | Will I help to bear His cross up the Via Dolorosa? |
37292 | Will I love Him in His own night? |
37292 | Will I stand in God''s house by night? |
37292 | Will I watch with Him even one hour in His Gethsemane? |
37292 | Will not continual droppings wear away stones? |
37292 | Yea, is it not an asbestos armor, against which the heat hath no power? |
37292 | You ask,"What can I do?" |
37292 | You have for your security His exceeding great and precious promises, and may say with the psalmist,"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
37292 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
37292 | but would we dally, go back? |
37292 | have not I sent thee? |

37292 | v. 5._ Is it not one of the difficulties of church work that we have more officers than men? |
37292 | ye who sigh and languish, and mourn your lack of power, Heed ye this gentle whisper,"Could ye not watch one hour?" |
11981 | And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters? |
11981 | For the Lord Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What wilt ye that I shall do unto you? 11981 Again, what eyes did He look for when He spake to those who saw indeed, but who saw only with the eyes of the flesh? 11981 Also Christ saith,I am a very vine; wherefore then worship ye not the vine God, as ye do the bread? |
11981 | And He answered and said,"Woman, thou wottest not what thou asketh; then He said to them, May ye drink of the cup that I shall drink? |
11981 | And how is it possible, you ask, not to grieve, since I am only a man? |
11981 | And how wretched do they seem who can not see this light? |
11981 | And if thou choosest to take him, why dost thou command me to slay him and to pollute my right hand? |
11981 | And to the angel you say as Balaam said:"What wilt thou that we should do?" |
11981 | And what are the two blind men by the wayside but the two people to cure whom Jesus came? |
11981 | And what is it that disorders the eye of the heart? |
11981 | And what said the Lord to him who now confest and said,"My lord, and my God?" |
11981 | And what then, beloved hearers? |
11981 | And wherefore? |
11981 | And why did He not suffice? |
11981 | And why was He not seen? |
11981 | Are not other men Christians? |
11981 | Are these the men who reason about a resurrection? |
11981 | Are we so delicate as to be unwilling to endure anything? |
11981 | Art Thou not cast out from comfort of all creatures? |
11981 | As an infant He was suckled; is He suckled always? |
11981 | As such a trifler with holy things how should I dare rise up? |
11981 | As the smitten beast asked Balaam, so I ask you:"Tell me, am I not your ass? |
11981 | Because he was a bad man? |
11981 | Because he was a youth? |
11981 | Because he was an aged man? |
11981 | Because he was good and kind? |
11981 | Brethren, do you see my meaning? |
11981 | But Jesus was willing to die for the truth of what He said; should we forsake the truth in order not to displease men? |
11981 | But do you miss his society, and therefore lament and mourn? |
11981 | But here, perhaps, thou wilt say, what is needful to be done? |
11981 | But how is it possible, you ask, that a bereaved person, being a man, should not grieve? |
11981 | But if God can not will us to Himself by gentle means, must we not be mere blocks if His threatening also fail? |
11981 | But now I shall ask you a word; answer ye me, Whether is the body of the Lord made at once or at twice? |
11981 | But reason asks, Was darkness created with the world? |
11981 | But since we know that believers are blind, ought we not to have better eyes than they? |
11981 | But we must believe that there is a mysterious reason for this? |
11981 | But what were those who have trodden the path before us? |
11981 | But when Balaam beat his fallen beast, it said to him:"What have I done to thee?" |
11981 | But when we see that Jesus Christ is our pattern, ought we not, without inquiring further, to esteem it great happiness that we are made like Him? |
11981 | But where is a father or a mother that can say I have led their son into sin; one that can say I have ruined her husband or his wife? |
11981 | But whose eyes? |
11981 | By what means shall I become righteous and acceptable to God? |
11981 | By what reason then say ye that are sinners that ye make God? |
11981 | Can the Papists assure me, or any other man, which were the forty days that Christ fasted? |
11981 | Concerning Christ, however, he did not speak thus; but how? |
11981 | Could not the Lord have risen again without scars? |
11981 | Did Christ fast those forty days to teach us superstitious fasting? |
11981 | Did I for this exhibit every parental virtue, that they should endure such a death?" |
11981 | Didst thou not promise me that from this son thou wouldst fill the earth with my descendants? |
11981 | Do I not teach you according to the Gospel? |
11981 | Do we think it has been said in vain that if we die with Jesus Christ we shall also live with Him? |
11981 | Do ye not know how I explained the revelation of St. John? |
11981 | Do you ask me still what you ought to do? |
11981 | Does this Spirit mean the diffusion of air? |
11981 | Either make they again the spiritual body which is risen from death to life or make they the fleshy body as it was before he suffered death? |
11981 | For Christ saith, What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before? |
11981 | For He took bread and blest, and yet what blest He? |
11981 | For he did not say, Concerning them that are dead: but what did he say? |
11981 | For how are our eyes made whole? |
11981 | For of what advantage was it to him that he had many children? |
11981 | For on what account, tell me, do you thus weep for one departed? |
11981 | For what bitterness is there in this cup which He hath not drunk? |
11981 | For what will they not say? |
11981 | For who are we, I pray, to be witnesses of the truth of God, and advocates to maintain His cause? |
11981 | For who was standing before Him without his bodily ears? |
11981 | For who would not have then thought that the promise which had been made him of a numerous posterity was all a deception? |
11981 | For whom do you imitate and emulate? |
11981 | Forasmuch as Thou hast said,"He who hath seen Me hath seen the Father also?" |
11981 | Furthermore, if they say that Christ made His body of bread, I ask, With what words made He it? |
11981 | Has he done so? |
11981 | Have they His cognizance? |
11981 | Have we any cause then to decline the struggle? |
11981 | He did not give way to dejection, nor ask,"What does this mean? |
11981 | He ran through the successive ages of life until man''s full estate; doth He grow in body always? |
11981 | He was born of the Virgin Mary; is He being born always? |
11981 | How can it therefore be that our hearts should not hear this cry and testimony of the Spirit? |
11981 | How can we worthily praise light after the testimony given by the Creator to its goodness? |
11981 | How dost thou promise me a posterity, and yet order me to slay my son? |
11981 | How great is thought to be the unhappiness of men who do not see this bodily light? |
11981 | How may ye then say that ye are worthy to make His body, and yet your works bear witness that ye are less than the prophets? |
11981 | How shall I attain to this perfect justification? |
11981 | How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? |
11981 | How wilt thou give the fruits, then, if thou pluck up the root? |
11981 | How, then, did the Spirit of God move upon the waters? |
11981 | How, then, is it that the heavens are perfect whilst the earth is still unformed and incomplete? |
11981 | How, then, was it that no part of the earth appeared through the water? |
11981 | If I go about with lies, then I have Christ against me; therefore I have heaven and earth against me, and how then could I stand? |
11981 | If I had wished to deceive you, why should I have given you as the chief of my gifts the means of discovering my fraud? |
11981 | If good is the stronger, what is there to prevent evil from being completely annihilated? |
11981 | If they so endured for the truth which was at that time so obscure, what ought we to do in the clear light which is now shining? |
11981 | If, then, evil is neither uncreated nor created by God, from whence comes its nature? |
11981 | In a word, not to dwell long on this, He was crucified; is He hanging on the cross always? |
11981 | In one word, what was the unfinished condition of the earth and for what reason was it invisible? |
11981 | Is it not because He wished to employ them for such a purpose? |
11981 | Is it older than light? |
11981 | Is not this to cast pearls before swine? |
11981 | Is the Father such as I see Thee to be? |
11981 | Is this the recompense for my kindness? |
11981 | Make they the glorified body? |
11981 | May it not be said that we do not think we have to do with God? |
11981 | May not this consideration alone well inflame us to offer ourselves to God to be employed in any way in such honorable service? |
11981 | No doubt the apostles said: How can we believe these women? |
11981 | Now what is it, brethren, to cry out unto Christ, but to correspond to the grace of Christ by good works? |
11981 | Now what thing more precious can we have than the eye made whole? |
11981 | O man, why wander thus from the truth and imagine for thyself that which will cause thy perdition? |
11981 | O wise man, do you think the poor fishermen were not clever enough for this? |
11981 | Of whom spake He, brethren, but of us? |
11981 | On the contrary, I ask, how is it that being a man he should grieve, since he is honored with reason and with hopes of future good? |
11981 | Or dost thou believe? |
11981 | Others run together thither, but perhaps they are heathens or Jews? |
11981 | Philip might, of course, have answered and said, Lord, do I see Thee? |
11981 | Preach first of all to your knowledge, and say to it: If you draw near this truth, you will have much faith; wherefore do you hesitate to use it? |
11981 | Since, therefore, in all other things we differ from them, shall we agree with them in our sentiments respecting death? |
11981 | So I say to you:"Come here and tell me: what have I done to you? |
11981 | Some will say, What do we gain by confessing our faith to obstinate people who have deliberately resolved to fight against God? |
11981 | Tell me, pray, whether in so doing are we worthy of having anything in common with Him? |
11981 | There are some who say, What will our death profit? |
11981 | Therefore man is able only imperfectly to know an incorporeal substance; how much less can he know the uncreated infinite being of God? |
11981 | Therefore, to you also I say: If you believe, where are your works? |
11981 | They are not at this hour in the hands of tyrants, but how do they know what God means to do with them hereafter? |
11981 | To whom did He say this? |
11981 | Was it for this that I opened my house, that I might see it made the grave of my children? |
11981 | Were God to deal with us according to our desserts, would He not have just cause to chastise us daily in a thousand ways? |
11981 | What do ye fear? |
11981 | What do ye say to that, ye wise men of this world? |
11981 | What do you intend to do? |
11981 | What is invisible? |
11981 | What is meant by"Jesus passeth by?" |
11981 | What is meant by"Jesus passeth by?" |
11981 | What is this"passing by?" |
11981 | What is"the deep?" |
11981 | What language can describe his fortitude? |
11981 | What means"the divinity standeth still?" |
11981 | What other ears, then, did He seek for, but those of the inner man? |
11981 | What shall we say, then? |
11981 | What should prevent us from making the confession which He requires? |
11981 | What then should be done in order to inspire our breasts with true courage? |
11981 | What was that? |
11981 | What will they not declare concerning us? |
11981 | What wilt thou have of us, brother? |
11981 | What wilt thou? |
11981 | What, then, is that light which disappeared suddenly from the world so that darkness should cover the face of the deep? |
11981 | When and at what time? |
11981 | When we do not take it into account, and are intent on a brutish life, which is worse than a thousand deaths, what can we allege for our excuse? |
11981 | Where are the signs of His love? |
11981 | Where are thy works? |
11981 | Where then becometh your ministrations? |
11981 | Wherein was Christ a very vine, or wherein was the bread Christ''s body, in figurative speech, which is hidden to the understanding? |
11981 | Which of them was in the better light? |
11981 | Who could have trusted that, so many torments as Job suffered, he should not speak in all his great temptation one foolish word against God? |
11981 | Who ever saw such things, or heard of the like? |
11981 | Who is he that crieth out unto Christ? |
11981 | Who is there, you ask again, that has not been subdued by this weakness? |
11981 | Who then are the two people? |
11981 | Who will dare to try to gain access to the innermost shrine? |
11981 | Who will look into its secrets? |
11981 | Why do ye not come to serve Christ? |
11981 | Why do you beat me? |
11981 | Why do you hesitate and go not into the service of the Lord? |
11981 | Why does Scripture say"one day,"not"the first day?" |
11981 | Why dost thou delay about them? |
11981 | Why dost thou wish to live according to the remonstrances of the multitude who would hinder them, and not after the steps of the Lord who passeth by? |
11981 | Why is this? |
11981 | Why is this? |
11981 | Why not rather as the Gospel ordains? |
11981 | Why now did he use the term death in reference to Christ, but in reference to us the term sleep? |
11981 | Why standest thou so uncertain and irresolute? |
11981 | Why, in spite of its inferiority, has it preceded it? |
11981 | Why? |
11981 | Will it not rather prove an offense? |
11981 | Would not the symmetry in light be less shown in its parts than in the pleasure and delight at the sight of it? |
11981 | Would you hear of a sixth stroke? |
11981 | Yet doth He call them dead; where but in the soul within? |
11981 | You suffer emotions and shed tears at merely hearing of these things: what must he have endured at the sight of them? |
11981 | and will not the heavenly life compensate for this? |
11981 | and, how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? |
11981 | and, how shall they hear without a preacher? |
11981 | and, how shall they preach except they be sent?" |
11981 | is there such a company of priests, monks, and nuns, and is not faith known? |
11981 | who knoweth not what he ought to believe? |
37728 | ''Can you really remember Monare?'' 37728 Are you sorry now that you did not obey?" |
37728 | Can they talk, or do they know anything? 37728 Do they answer their prayers?" |
37728 | Is that the reason,we inquired,"why so many people are afraid to kill snakes?" |
37728 | Kanyama digging? |
37728 | Matshuba, did you ever hear of Jesus before we came? |
37728 | Why then are you deceiving the people and pretending that you can? 37728 Will you come if he invites you?" |
37728 | Will you kill them? |
37728 | _ Chi nzi echo?_and with that as a basis the names at least of many things could be learned. |
37728 | Again we have inquired of others,"Who made the trees, the rocks, the grass?" |
37728 | Again, how were we to find out where we were? |
37728 | Are not these the people for whom Christ died? |
37728 | Are not these the poor people to whom he is bringing the privileges of the Gospel? |
37728 | Are they the people who killed the Matabele?'' |
37728 | As to other forms of vice what shall one say? |
37728 | Beloved, does England doubt the outcome of the deadly conflict raging in South Africa because she has already lost thousands of men? |
37728 | But how many months could we live their home life and be presentable in appearance? |
37728 | But what could we do amid such rock- bound customs as held these people? |
37728 | But what has this to do with a good house? |
37728 | But who is this old queen, amid such unqueenly surroundings? |
37728 | CHAPTER TWELVE Looking on the Fields Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? |
37728 | Could they be persuaded to leave their beer pots and let us talk to them first? |
37728 | Did not the Apostle Paul, undoubtedly the greatest of His followers, unite tent- making with his missionary work? |
37728 | Do n''t you know that the ground is hard and stony?" |
37728 | Do you not know that you are making our work difficult by your lamentations? |
37728 | Does she not wish to be married?" |
37728 | Does the Lord not speak to some hearts? |
37728 | He greeted me with a smile as I entered, and while we were speaking, I inquired"Is Jesus here?" |
37728 | He had been quite unprepared for the news contained in my letter, and his answer can best be summed up in two of his sentences:"How can I say yes? |
37728 | He had done and was doing His part; what more could we ask? |
37728 | He hesitated, then looking up into my face, said,"_ Isibongo sako sipi?_"("What is your thank name?") |
37728 | He hesitated, then looking up into my face, said,"_ Isibongo sako sipi?_"("What is your thank name?") |
37728 | Her withered face brightened up, as with a sweep of her arm she took in the magnificent scene before her and exclaimed,"Is not that beautiful?" |
37728 | His brother, while wailing, continued to cry out,"Semani, where has he gone? |
37728 | I asked him,"Wherein do you think lies the chief difficulty in dealing with the native?" |
37728 | I inquired,"What is the matter? |
37728 | I said,"Why did you not come yesterday according to your promise?" |
37728 | In a short time the steamer was again on its way; but where was it taking the little band of missionaries? |
37728 | In reality, however, it is equivalent to saying"How do you do?" |
37728 | Is He not speaking to others to give of their prayers and money for the work? |
37728 | Is her courage failing? |
37728 | Is it something like we make cattle out of mud to play with?" |
37728 | Is it you? |
37728 | Is the native provident? |
37728 | It says,''Who are these white people? |
37728 | Knowing them so well, and being jealous for Him Whose ambassador I was, I asked,"Do you really mean to say that you can cause rain?" |
37728 | Many a time people have said to me,"The people in Africa are more eager to become Christians than those in America, are they not?" |
37728 | May he not have any home life at all? |
37728 | Noticing a basket of snowy- white clothes I inquired,"Who does your washing?" |
37728 | On this occasion we found the older people worshiping the spirits, and said to the woman,"How is this? |
37728 | One day, after we had explained the lesson, Nyuka, a witch doctor, said:"I believe all you say, and that Christ is able to save us, but what can I do? |
37728 | One of our first aims was to secure the expression for"What is that?" |
37728 | Or is it because the Church is not praying the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest? |
37728 | Perhaps some one might ask, Do those ignorant blacks ever learn to be cleanly and do their work properly? |
37728 | Perhaps( who knows?) |
37728 | See how white my beard is? |
37728 | Shall we as Christian soldiers have less faith in the King of kings? |
37728 | Shall we give up the conflict because two have fallen by our side? |
37728 | Shall we leave to themselves these people, who are emerging from centuries of darkness, to the influence of a corrupt civilization? |
37728 | Shall we, then, say that there are no Christians in that city, or that there are none living good moral lives who do not profess Christ? |
37728 | She replied,"The boys; I send them to the river to wash.""But how can you teach them to do their work so well?" |
37728 | Should then we, such feeble imitations, belittle manual labor, even though it falls to our lot as missionaries? |
37728 | Some one may inquire, is it not possible to secure skilled workmen to do the building? |
37728 | Some one may inquire,"What should I study to prepare me for the mission field?" |
37728 | Something in his face that day prompted me to say,"Ndhlalambi, when are you coming to stay at the mission and give your heart to the Lord?" |
37728 | Stewart, of China, says,"''Agonia,''that word so often on St. Paul''s lips-- what did it mean? |
37728 | The Lord has provided money-- somebody was willing to give it, but who will give himself? |
37728 | The clerk exclaimed,"And Miss Engle, too?" |
37728 | The great question here is,"Intercede for what?" |
37728 | The missionary, as he realizes the responsibility resting upon him, often feels like exclaiming,"Who is sufficient for these things?" |
37728 | The question wanted to force itself upon us, Were we after all mistaken as to the Lord''s leadings? |
37728 | There are so many sides to missionary work, and who can tell which will result in the greatest good? |
37728 | They beg of one another; then why should they not beg of the white man, whose pockets are supposed to be full of money? |
37728 | They said,"Why does not Missionary Steigerwald invite the people to come and dig his large gardens? |
37728 | We inquire,"What is the trouble? |
37728 | We try to comfort her, but what can or what dare we say? |
37728 | We were in these wilds; could we succeed in locating ourselves? |
37728 | What awaited us on the other side? |
37728 | What did it all mean-- the lack of workers, the ready money and the intense longing in my own soul to carry the Light to those people? |
37728 | What did the future have in store for us? |
37728 | What does it mean? |
37728 | What of this chief, who had so kindly received the missionaries two years before? |
37728 | What part are you going to have in those yet unborn into the Kingdom? |
37728 | What part have you had in the winning of these souls? |
37728 | What shall we do without him?" |
37728 | What should we do? |
37728 | What was to be done? |
37728 | What was to be done? |
37728 | What was to be done? |
37728 | When and how is he to give the Gospel? |
37728 | When he found a small piece of lumber which was not likely to be used, he would say,"Mufundisi[ Missionary], may I have this?" |
37728 | Where are you going?" |
37728 | Who knows? |
37728 | Who knows? |
37728 | Who shall it be? |
37728 | Who shall say but that these early journeys, in which little of the Gospel was given, was not as fruitful of results for God as later ones? |
37728 | Why is it? |
37728 | Why then do we so often halt, fearing to walk alone with Him, knowing that we can not stumble as long as we keep hold of His dear hand? |
37728 | Will you not join with us that he may be kept humble and not get away from his call to give the Gospel beyond the Zambezi? |
37728 | Will you not join with us that they might be saved?" |
37728 | Will you pray for me?" |
37728 | Would not the best and safest way for the good of the native be to require him to earn his way as he goes? |
37728 | Would that knowledge help us here in these fastnesses? |
37728 | and how dare I say no?" |
37728 | and what was to be their final destination? |
37728 | or does he live from hand to mouth? |
37728 | where has he gone?" |
9373 | And what was the"burden"? |
9373 | But plainly, explicitly, in so many words? |
9373 | But suppose the attraction of the earth were removed? |
9373 | Did you ever stop to ask what a yoke is really for? |
9373 | Did you ever think why Christ spoke that parable? |
9373 | Do we realize, for instance, that the way of teaching humility is generally by_ humiliation_? |
9373 | Does it not show how entirely new Christ''s teaching still is to the world, that so old and threadbare an aphorism should still be so little applied? |
9373 | For how, in a literal sense, can Rest be_ given_? |
9373 | How many, especially among the young, has this one mistaken phrase driven forever away from the kingdom of God? |
9373 | How novel the connection between these two words,"Learn"and"Rest"? |
9373 | Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? |
9373 | Is life not hard and sorrowful enough without being fettered with yet another yoke? |
9373 | It was full of beautiful thoughts; but when I came to ask myself,"How does he say I can get Rest?" |
9373 | Now we understand it all? |
9373 | Restlessness has a cause: must not_ Rest_ have a cause? |
9373 | Then the Christian experiences are our own making? |
9373 | What are the chief causes of_ Unrest_? |
9373 | What is that which if duly learned will find the soul of man in Rest? |
9373 | What is the connection, then? |
9373 | What must one work at? |
9373 | Whence, then, is joy? |
9373 | Where does Joy come from? |
9373 | Why did He not tell us, for example, how such a thing as Rest might be obtained? |
9373 | Why, if all this be true, does He call it a_ yoke_? |
9373 | Why, then, did the Great Teacher not educate His followers fully? |
9373 | Why, while professing to give Rest, does He with the next breath whisper"_ burden_"? |
36662 | ''Well,''said I,''what do you think I ought to do about it?'' 36662 And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?" |
36662 | As you beat him, say,''Christian man, where is your helper? |
36662 | I said,''Stop him? 36662 I thought nothing of your fire; do you suppose that I shall be afraid of your smoke?" |
36662 | Of what station in life? |
36662 | What shall we then say to these things? 36662 Will you not even now comply, impious man? |
36662 | After a time Maximus began again his attempts at persuasion:"Will you not have done with this madness now? |
36662 | Again, young lady, what is the price of_ your_ soul? |
36662 | And is it not true? |
36662 | Are you flourishing like that? |
36662 | Are you growing alone? |
36662 | But what does God''s Word say about it? |
36662 | But where is there a tree in the world that furnishes so much material for practically all the necessities of life where the palm is indigenous? |
36662 | But why not the mixed garment, of woolen and linen? |
36662 | But why? |
36662 | Can we say with Paul,"Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk, so as ye have us for an example?" |
36662 | Demas, how much is it worth? |
36662 | Did Daniel have love when he faced the wicked Belshazzar and told him of his sins at the risk of his own life? |
36662 | Did Jesus Christ love when He drove the money changers out of the temple at the end of a whip? |
36662 | Did not martyrs of old face death at every turn? |
36662 | Did the Omniscient Inspirer of the Word make any mistake when He said,"The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree?" |
36662 | Do they not have many who stand up or sign their names and join the church? |
36662 | Do you persist in it, unhappy man?" |
36662 | Do you smile and say,"Certainly, dear,"or do you growl and let her do it? |
36662 | Do you think, dear reader, that you would be the one he would call upon for prayer? |
36662 | Does God make provision for any one to have any less liberty and freedom of Spirit later on in his Christian life? |
36662 | Does it not mean that these testings of faith are worth much more than gold nuggets which one might find in the street? |
36662 | Does the reader still find himself flourishing like the palm tree? |
36662 | Has it ever occurred to the reader that heresy is one of the works of the flesh, or carnal mind? |
36662 | Has no other tree started because of your life and influence? |
36662 | Have you ever noticed a meeting that begins to rise with each succeeding testimony? |
36662 | He thought,"Oh, the poor woman is freezing to death and what shall I do?" |
36662 | How did it all come about? |
36662 | How is it that sister can sing and smile when a thousand trials conspire to cut off the flow of holy joy? |
36662 | How is it when your neighbor''s chickens clean up your radish and turnip patch? |
36662 | How long did it take the crystal stream to become muddy like the other? |
36662 | How long will it be if one mixes in with such a crowd till he will be like them? |
36662 | How many men would it take like that to carry the gospel to the world in twenty- five years? |
36662 | How much do you appreciate His gift? |
36662 | How would it do for us to act as if we had found a nugget of gold, the next time some great trial crosses our path? |
36662 | I have something that is worth more to me than gold tried in the fire?" |
36662 | If God be for us, who can be against us?" |
36662 | If not, why not? |
36662 | If the righteous flourish like the palm tree, might it not be well to emulate this peculiar characteristic? |
36662 | If then death is so dreaded in the material world, why should we not abhor spiritual death? |
36662 | Is it not an unequal yoking together? |
36662 | Is not this an extravagant method of spreading the gospel? |
36662 | Is not this typical of Holy Ghost victory in the sanctified life? |
36662 | Is there not a kitchen in your house? |
36662 | Is your abode far off from sanctified people? |

36662 | May we not take a lesson from these"unfortunates"and rise above every impediment, and yet succeed in the kingdom of God? |
36662 | On being asked why the seeking ceased the answer is,"Well, I tried and I did not get anything, and what is the use of trying further?" |
36662 | Outside of that, where is the hope of preserving inviolate the purity of the doctrine of God? |
36662 | Perhaps husband is smiling, as wife reads these lines; but how do you feel when the horse balks, or the cow kicks the milk all over you? |

36662 | Saul, what is your salvation worth? |
36662 | Shall we sell out Christ for pleasure, or people, or pursuits, or popularity? |
36662 | Shall we take God''s money, and put it in the control of the world? |
36662 | Sister, do you find yourself saying,"Praise the Lord,"when the clothes line breaks, or the bread burns? |
36662 | Solomon, what was yours worth? |
36662 | Some one says,"Was that love that made you strike that poor, helpless man?" |
36662 | Some sentimental on- looker asks,"Was that love that prompted you to treat that dog thus?" |
36662 | The next thing was, how could he get a message from the office to himself? |
36662 | The question is: Have they really been made alive from the dead, or have they simply made a resolution and joined the church? |
36662 | The question might be asked:"How did the arrow head get into that Indian''s backbone?" |
36662 | Then if it is offered up to another, can we claim it as our own? |
36662 | Then shall we allow the trifling things of earth to conquer us and spoil our experience? |
36662 | Then why do we not act that way? |

36662 | Young lady, what was the price of your soul? |
36662 | or husband scolds, or the older children are disobedient and saucy? |
38330 | ''How old art thou?'' |
38330 | And have you been,inquired the Missionary,"to bury the husband and the father?" |
38330 | And so you have been all day trying to buy rats, have you? 38330 And so you treat your cattle as young ladies, do you?" |
38330 | And who prayed for my coming? |
38330 | Are you a new creature in Christ Jesus? |
38330 | As Clifford''s friend, may I crave the honour of offering my hand to your lordship? |
38330 | Can you pass me up? |
38330 | Did He, sir? |
38330 | Do you men over there know what a sceptre is? |
38330 | Do your father and mother live here? |
38330 | How many of you are there? |
38330 | If you have time, I should like to know how it is that you reject the testimony which_ God_ has given of His Son? |
38330 | My good child, who are you? |
38330 | Now tell me,he continued,"who that man, woman, and child were? |
38330 | Saints against you? |
38330 | What are you doing here with that child? |
38330 | What on earth do you mean? |
38330 | Where was it? |
38330 | Who was they? |
38330 | Why do n''t you wash your children? |
38330 | You have been more than a father to me, sir; and will you please give me away? |
38330 | Your daughters, I suppose, go out to some employment, as you see so little of them? |
38330 | ''Oh,''I said,''then you could read a Testament, if I got you one?'' |
38330 | ''When is a man uglier than that gorilla?''" |
38330 | After a few minutes the question was asked,"And how did you learn that hymn?" |
38330 | And may he not know the Widow now? |
38330 | And may not this, in some respects, be applied to London, too? |
38330 | And now by way of apology for the sharp manner in which I spoke, may I return your question:''Are you a religious man?''" |
38330 | And why should they not arise, and in sufficient numbers? |
38330 | And, oh, who can tell how many words of motherly advice and Christian counsel were uttered over that old teapot? |
38330 | Are German Neology and French Infidelity the foes to the Redeemer which you would oppose? |
38330 | Are you a Scotchman? |
38330 | Are you a Welshman? |
38330 | Are you an Irishman? |
38330 | As he passed on, he thus reasoned with himself:"If I make no effort for his good, he must be lost; but what can I do? |
38330 | At first the man was sullen; but in reply to the remark,"I fear that you have neglected your promise to read a chapter daily?" |
38330 | But as the"soldier"said,"What''commodation can a chap expect for twopence, when you has the use of fire and water?" |
38330 | But how is it with many? |
38330 | But what good has resulted from this effort and meeting? |
38330 | But where is this great gathering of the representatives of the nations to be found? |
38330 | CAN YOU INFLUENCE THE WORLD FOR CHRIST? |
38330 | Can You Influence the World for Christ? |
38330 | Did the rude clamour come from happy men, Or wild beasts maddened, raging in their den? |
38330 | He is sober now; why should I not visit him in the bar, and deal faithfully with him?" |
38330 | He then announced the subject for discussion:"Does man require a revelation?" |
38330 | Here he looked at the mother, who was in tears, and inquired,"What would you do, master, if you was us?" |
38330 | How are you getting on?" |
38330 | How else for the peaceful army of Bible- women and Bible- nurses? |
38330 | How many visitors have gone to those homes on a different errand? |
38330 | How often do you get it?" |
38330 | I asked,''How do you spend your time on Sunday evenings?'' |
38330 | I suppose that she stays until very late at the gaff?" |
38330 | If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?'' |
38330 | In answer to the inquiry,"How do you live?" |
38330 | In answer to the inquiry,"How long she had known the Lord, and why she was living in that place?" |
38330 | In reply to the question,"What have you done with the dresses?" |
38330 | Is not that the position of London to- day? |
38330 | Is that what you mean? |
38330 | It was not till a storm sent by God aroused him-- it was not till the captain put his hand upon his shoulder, and said,"What meanest thou, O sleeper? |
38330 | It''tain''t''pertinent like, is it, my comin''here?" |
38330 | Like a certain young ruler mentioned in the Gospel, approach the Lord Jesus, and ask,''What shall I do to inherit eternal life?''" |
38330 | May it not be one of the joys of the heavenly state to hold sweet converse with saints about whom we have only heard upon earth? |
38330 | Now do tell me where you are going?" |
38330 | Now tell me if you have decided to serve the Lord?" |
38330 | Now, as none of you attend divine worship, suppose I read to you about Him and the words He spoke?" |
38330 | One evening the young assistant called upon her friend, and said timidly,"You know Mr. So- and- so, do n''t you, sir?" |
38330 | Only this morning, as I was coming to this meeting, I met a gentleman who said to me,"Where are you off to? |
38330 | Or are you an Englishman? |
38330 | Say, did you listen? |
38330 | Shall public servants slave on for our convenience, with no man to care for their souls? |
38330 | The Welsh and their descendants living in London about equal the united populations of six of the principal Welsh towns? |
38330 | The men were startled as the Missionary inquired sternly,"Do you men believe that there is a God in heaven?" |
38330 | The person addressed was the Missionary of the district, who had, by a kind touch of the arm and a cheerful"How are you to- day?" |
38330 | The question before us this morning, as it seems to me, is, How can we stir one another up to take greater interest in the work? |
38330 | The visitor turned towards the man, and said sharply,"Dear me, what can be the matter with you?" |
38330 | There are about as many Scotch people and their descendants in London, as there are in Edinburgh? |
38330 | There was a momentary embarrassment, until the patient, with a troubled expression of face, whispered,--"Who asked you to pray for me? |
38330 | There was only one difficulty, and Tom considered it a real one, for he said gravely,"How is the banns to be got up? |
38330 | They could not understand the question, and the Coroner repeated it:"Did you do anything to resuscitate the corpse?" |
38330 | This remark was followed by a long silence, when the gentleman turned suddenly toward his reprover and inquired,--"Are you a religious man?" |
38330 | To his surprise, the landlord, with a smile, offered him a number of handbills, and said,"You want to do me a good turn, do you? |
38330 | To the inquiry,"What are you thumping there for?" |
38330 | Upon glancing round, the visitor noticed a middle- aged man, whom he had not seen for several years, and inquired of him where he had been? |
38330 | Went ye not forth with prayer? |
38330 | What can lift you up from this abyss of ruin into which you have fallen? |
38330 | What is it that can make you partakers with us of those national privileges which we enjoy? |
38330 | What shall I do?" |
38330 | What should we now do without the City missionary? |
38330 | What, sir, did you hear? |
38330 | When shall it be?" |
38330 | Where the gin palace turns the night to day, And public- house and beer- shop line the way? |
38330 | Which of the meetings are you going to attend?" |
38330 | Why should not all the people be instructed in the law of the Lord? |
38330 | Why then should any be lost for lack of knowledge? |
38330 | Why? |
38330 | Will Jesus chide thy weakness, Or call thy labour vain? |
38330 | Will you accept one of these tracts?" |
38330 | Will you advance on them in their swarming retirements of profligacy and pestilence? |
38330 | Will you leave them alone to fester and to die? |
38330 | With a sharp look at the stranger, he inquired,"Do you want me, Master?" |
38330 | With a smile more awe- inspiring than ordinary frowns, he inquired,"Are you the chap what''s coming to all our rooms to make us religious?" |
38330 | Would it not therefore be well for us to seek the required blessing?" |
38330 | and''If a man die shall he live again?'' |
38330 | how''do? |
38330 | what shall I do?" |
43319 | ''For who knoweth the ordinances of heaven, or can explain the reasons of them upon earth? |
43319 | ''The revered and great and only altar, what could this be but the spotlessness of soul and holiness of holies of the common Priest of us all?'' |
43319 | ''When the cedars of Paradise shall tremble, what shall the bush of the desert do?'' |
43319 | 1841) asks( p. 17),''Do men and women sit together in those seats indifferently and promiscuously? |
43319 | A single instance may suffice:--S. Augustine, writing on that passage of S. Paul''s,''What? |
43319 | According to that saying,''How shall they preach, except they be sent?'' |
43319 | Again, is the pulpit of the Brownist symbolical; and shall not our font and altar be so at least as much? |
43319 | Again, the question of the deacon shut up within answering in the character of the people,''Who is the King of glory?'' |
43319 | And Abraham saith,"Shall I speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes?" |
43319 | And does not the building then in turn emblem the purpose for which it was planned? |
43319 | And what besides is there that does not tell of our Blessed Saviour? |
43319 | And why? |
43319 | But if a consecrated chalice be regilt, is it therefore to be reconsecrated? |
43319 | But if it were parabolic, figurative, descriptive, allegorical-- why should not the Church imitate her Master? |
43319 | But is it asked why sacraments are appointed, when without them God could have given eternal life and His Grace unto mankind? |
43319 | But is it asked why the sick and the catechumens are anointed with oil? |
43319 | But what if mechanical convenience suggested the arrangement? |
43319 | But why do they not look deeper into things? |
43319 | But why not take a circle or octagon at once, or the form which is always adopted for the lecture- rooms at Mechanics''Institutes? |
43319 | Called, and how? |
43319 | Carlisle and York have doubtless their appropriate meaning; but who will now pretend to expound it? |
43319 | Did the Paschal Lamb typify the Immaculate Victim in any thing more than its comparative purity and its bloody death? |
43319 | Does not Flamboyant express this? |
43319 | Does not the ground plan of such a church symbolise minutely the then state of church discipline and the{ lviii} conditions of church worship? |
43319 | For if this be said elsewhere only because the work was made, why ought it not also to be said here since it was made? |
43319 | For what else is the pastoral rod than the divine Word? |
43319 | How will they account for the cross form? |
43319 | In what particulars, we may again ask? |
43319 | Is not each act in itself figurative and full of meaning? |
43319 | Is there anything which will dictate any general form rather than another? |
43319 | It bore all other sins, but is it fit That it should bear the sin of scorning it? |
43319 | It may be asked, Do we mean to imply then that a church architect ought never{ xxiv} to undertake any secular building? |
43319 | Just as Abraham saith in the xviii chapter of Genesis,''Shall I speak to my Lord, who am but dust and ashes?'' |
43319 | Lucifer was thrown down from Heaven, and Adam cast out of Paradise; and what places be better than these? |
43319 | Now could there be a more fitting expression of this than the Perpendicular style? |
43319 | Now, if we ask, why was this? |
43319 | Of the first, the Apostle S. James saith,''Is any sick among you? |
43319 | Quomodo vocatur? |
43319 | Shall God have denied this symbolism to the latter, while He has bestowed it on the former? |
43319 | Shall we then wonder that the Catholic Church is in all her art and splendour sacramental of the Blessed Trinity, when Nature herself is so? |
43319 | The deacon answereth,''Who is the King of Glory?'' |
43319 | The deacon from within answereth,''Who is the King of Glory?'' |
43319 | The following lines from Donne are much to the purpose:{ xli} Since Christ embraced the Cross itself, dare I His Image, th''Image of His Cross, deny? |
43319 | The material Sun indeed typifies the Sun of Righteousness: but in what particulars? |
43319 | The ruins of Roman theatres are not uncommon: do we fail to be recalled by them to the idea of the Roman stage? |
43319 | The solution of the problem,--What is it that causes this difference? |
43319 | To deny intended symbolism, in the case of such a person, would{ lxii} clearly be absurd: shall it be less obvious to us? |
43319 | What can be more_ real_ than a pyramid, yet what less Christian? |
43319 | What could this be but the finger of that God Who will have His works rather entertained with wonder and trembling than with curious scanning? |
43319 | What idea can such a person have formed of the reality of church architecture? |
43319 | What is understood by the alphabet save the beginnings and rudiments of sacred doctrine? |
43319 | What mechanical reasons could produce Westminster from even the Parthenon? |
43319 | Whence the Prophet,''Wherefore is thine apparel red, as one that treadeth out the wine vat?'' |
43319 | Wherefore then is it not said here as elsewhere"God saw that it was good?" |
43319 | Who can blot out the Cross, which th''instrument Of God dewed on him in the Sacrament? |
43319 | Who can deny me power and liberty''To stretch mine arms, and mine own Cross to be? |
43319 | Who can estimate the effect of such pictorial representations on the minds of our ancestors? |
43319 | Who from the picture would avert his eye, How should he fly His pains, Who there did die? |
43319 | Why do not such writers argue that the cross form is not symbolical, because many barns are cruciform? |
43319 | Why does the Mussulman take off his shoes, kneel on his carpet towards Mecca, and perform his stated ablutions? |
43319 | Why does the heartless Quaker go with covered head into his bare conventicle, and sit in enforced silence? |
43319 | Why have the cross at all? |
43319 | Why not have an amphitheatre, an octagon, an accoustically designed Mechanic''s Institute Lecture Room? |
43319 | Why, again, in every case does a screen separate one part of the church from the other? |
43319 | Would I have profit by the Sacrifice, And dare the chosen Altar to despise? |
43319 | [ Footnote 337] Again, in the Gospel:''Are ye able to drink the chalice that I shall drink?'' |
43319 | [ Footnote 389] And again,''Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its savour wherewithal shall it be salted?'' |
43319 | [ Footnote 392] For what are the gates of the daughter of Sion but the ears and hearing of the faithful? |
43319 | [ Footnote 421] Hence also Abraham saith,''Shall I speak to my Lord, who am but dust and ashes?'' |
43319 | [ Footnote 629] But Esaias, when he had heard the voice of the Lord, saying,''Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?'' |
43319 | [ Footnote 690][ Footnote 689: Whether there be any superstitious fasting on S. Mark''s Day?'' |
43319 | [ Footnote 79] But who''knoweth the ordinances of heaven, or can fix the reasons thereof upon the earth?'' |
43319 | _ Quem quaeritis_? |
43319 | _ The deacon within answereth_, and saith: Who is the King of Glory? |
43319 | are not the several parts of the material building highly figurative and suggestive of the rules and orders of the abstract drama? |
43319 | in its being_ created_, in its rising on the dark world_ every_ day, in its being matter? |
43319 | know ye not that the saints shall judge the world?'' |
43319 | or( as the fashion was of old), do men sit together upon one side of the church, and women upon the other?'' |
43319 | shall tribulation?'' |
43319 | { 190}''Where wast thou.... when the morning stars sang together?'' |
43319 | { cxxv} Above all, do not the reintroduction of Horizontality, the Tudor arch, the depressed pier, speak of her want of spirituality? |
43319 | { lxiii} The contrast must then be admitted: but how must we explain it? |
43319 | { xlvii} Is not, again, the doctrine of the Resurrection wonderfully set forth by Nature? |
11553 | ''But you have the kettle ready for tea?'' 11553 ''How is grandmother?'' |
11553 | ''How then,''said Harris,''do you intend to pay me?'' 11553 ''Is it really so?'' |
11553 | ''Of what use,''said I,''is this piece of money, stowed away so nicely in my pocket?'' 11553 ''What can be done?'' |
11553 | ''Yes, ma''am,''said the daughter;''mother would have me set it on the fire; and when I said,''What is the use of doing so? 11553 ''_ And does Jesus keep you from drinking intoxicating liquor? |
11553 | ''_ What think you now girls_?'' 11553 A little boy asked his father at the dinner table,''_ Papa, why do n''t you read the Bible_?'' |
11553 | A singing school,said his wife,"how will you do that?" |
11553 | But how do you know He hears you? |
11553 | But how is this,I inquired,"How did you know of_ me_?" |
11553 | But where should he go? 11553 But, are there not times, auntie, for instance, when your son is sick, when you can not see where rent and food is coming from?" |
11553 | Come for what? |
11553 | Did you ever hear that I lived here? |
11553 | Did you repeat the collect I taught you? |
11553 | Do they come every time, auntie? 11553 Do you think so, Johnny?" |
11553 | Does not this little incident illustrate the power of prayer? 11553 How is it you never signed before?" |
11553 | How is this? |
11553 | I arose quickly, hastened to her room and said to her,''Laura, do you want to get well?'' 11553 I looked at him with surprise, and inquired,''Are you a Christian?'' |
11553 | If medical skill was unavailing, was there not prayer? 11553 If you expect so great a gift from the Lord, he asks of you,''_ What are you willing to do for me_?''" |
11553 | Is anybody with him? |
11553 | Is anything too hard for the Lord? |
11553 | Is that his habit so early in the morning? |
11553 | Mother, will you pray now to Jesus to cure me_? 11553 No, my child-- why do you ask that?" |
11553 | One day a lady friend said to me:''Would you like some nice sewing, easy to do?'' 11553 Shall I take all this money to myself?" |
11553 | She said not a word-- why should she? 11553 To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? |
11553 | Well, Tom, what gives you so much joy? |
11553 | Well, William, how are you? |
11553 | Well, but how did you pray? |
11553 | Well, did you get the flour? |
11553 | What are you looking at, Tom? |
11553 | Why, Johnny, should your sister read the Bible? |
11553 | Why, why was I left, old and rheumatic and useless, and Mary, a smart, busy, capable woman taken away without a minute''s warning? |
11553 | Yes,I replied,"but,"-- Before I could go farther he again interrupted me:"Oh, Doctor, is there nothing, nothing that will save her? |
11553 | You once very poor? |
11553 | _ But can you imagine our surprise when, at our evening prayer meeting, this same Universalist came in_? 11553 _ Do you think that_ THE LORD_ will come down from heaven and buy me a pair of shoes_?" |
11553 | _ Was God at last to fail and forget her? 11553 _"How did he tell you?" |
11553 | __God is not a man, that he should lie; hath he said and shall he not do it? |
11553 | ''Did you ask Mrs. W---- to order them?'' |
11553 | ''Do n''t you know who sent them?'' |
11553 | ''Do you believe Jesus can cure you?'' |
11553 | ''Have you a sewing machine?'' |
11553 | ''Have you anything to eat?'' |
11553 | ''How did you get here? |
11553 | ''I answered,''The Lord sent it, I know; where could it come from?'' |
11553 | ''If,''said Mrs. F.,''faith is to cure you, why go to Doctor Cullis, or to any one? |
11553 | ''That is right; so you believe you will have it by praying for it?'' |
11553 | ''Well, then leave it with Him; have you opened your letters?'' |
11553 | ''Well,''said he,''_ will you tell me what I am waiting here for? |
11553 | ''Well,''said he,''how do you know, have you prayed about it?'' |
11553 | ''What did your physician say?'' |
11553 | ''What is it?'' |
11553 | ''What is its price?'' |
11553 | ''What were the numbers?'' |
11553 | ''What will you do for breakfast?'' |
11553 | ''What will you do now?'' |
11553 | ''Where is it to be found?'' |
11553 | ''Why do you think so?'' |
11553 | ''Why do you think so?'' |
11553 | ''Will four hundred pounds be an adequate recompense?'' |
11553 | ''Will you pray with me that the Lord may, in some way, delay the train at the junction?'' |
11553 | ''Would it be possible for you to hurry a little?'' |
11553 | ''Yes,''was the reply;''but who are you?'' |
11553 | ''_ What gale_?'' |
11553 | --to which we replied properly; then he asked:''What is the news from Nueva Leon?'' |
11553 | 18:9; remarking,''Are not those precious promises? |
11553 | A little girl about four years of age being asked,"Why do you pray to God?" |
11553 | After the ordinary salutation, he asked:(_ ¿de adonde vienen y adonde van?_)''From whence have you come, and where are you going?'' |
11553 | After the ordinary salutation, he asked:(_ ¿de adonde vienen y adonde van?_)''From whence have you come, and where are you going?'' |
11553 | And could not the same Lord who chose to heal through medicines, also heal without them? |
11553 | And why should it not? |
11553 | And would you sooner rest your decision on a gambler''s test, than on God''s promise? |
11553 | Are you not concerned about your welfare?'' |
11553 | As Mrs. Furlong went to give it, Miss Jordan said to her,"Do you want to throw that medicine away?" |
11553 | But how? |
11553 | But the morning studies produced no change in the unsettled state of the question, what shall I preach from to- day? |
11553 | By- and- by the question was repeated,"Mamma, are you there?" |
11553 | Can nobody, nobody save my sister?" |
11553 | Can that be for us? |
11553 | Can there be any true life of faith that does not include this? |
11553 | Can we have any better guide?" |
11553 | Can you not see that his paying that money back, is a simple impossibility?" |
11553 | Could he give these up? |
11553 | Could she kneel and thank the Lord? |
11553 | Could she move her hand? |
11553 | Dear Christian reader, shall the wonderful manifestation of that"purpose"strengthen your faith? |
11553 | Did an angel from heaven bring the money?'' |
11553 | Do n''t you see Jesus has cured me? |
11553 | Do you believe he will, Laura?'' |
11553 | Do you go to the Bible for everything?" |
11553 | Does not the expression,"Our_ daily_ bread,"mean just this? |
11553 | H.--"Well, perhaps so; but the question with me in such cases, is this: What is duty? |
11553 | H.--"Why not? |
11553 | Have you any special need of five dollars now? |
11553 | Have you ever gone to the Lord as directed above, and found in Him, as David did, a very present help in time of trouble? |
11553 | Have you no money?'' |
11553 | He comes to our house, and we have no carpet; I am sure He must come here very often, does n''t He?'' |
11553 | He is here now, Annie; ca n''t you feel Him near? |
11553 | He said,''I heard you pray-- you want money, do you? |
11553 | He went from his knees to the bed, and took his friend by the hand; again he said,"Dear Luther, why do n''t you let me depart in peace?" |
11553 | I inquired of the Bishop,''How did you recover from your sickness?'' |
11553 | I promptly responded,"Yes, I will go?" |
11553 | I said,''Mc, what''s up now?'' |
11553 | I stated all the circumstances of my illness, and was asked if I could trust God to heal me? |
11553 | I stepped down the steps to her, and asked,''What is the matter?'' |
11553 | I wanted a new hat so much; and the question arose in my mind,''What am I going to do about it?'' |
11553 | I went home that night and said to myself, as I went,''_ How do I know but Christ would keep one from drinking if I would ask him_?'' |
11553 | I, poor faithless one, was wondering what does this mean? |
11553 | If the mother, may call in a second physician, to suggest the cause and the cure, may she not call on God? |
11553 | In about an hour, he returned and started back, inquiring,''_ What have you done?'' |
11553 | In deep distress, I looked upon the threatening elements, exclaiming over and over,"What shall I do?" |
11553 | In his business hours the thought came over him with the depth of emotion,"WHAT CAN I DO? |
11553 | In the morning, I said,''Laura, did you sleep well last night?'' |
11553 | Is it any objection to that faith to say, the age of miracles is past? |
11553 | Is it, then, always permitted for me to pray thus unconditionally respecting temporal concerns? |
11553 | Is my reader a poor Christian? |
11553 | Is there no evidence in this of a special providence, and that God listens to the prayers of persecuted and distressed children? |
11553 | Melancthon roused, looked in the face of Luther, and said,"O Luther, is this you? |
11553 | Might her boy ride down to the wharf and see him off? |
11553 | Miss Jordan went toward her and said,"Mother, do you want your cane?" |
11553 | Must I leave preaching, and attend to a vexatious lawsuit? |
11553 | My sister says,''Annie, did you order them?'' |
11553 | Now it seemed sure that he was a rogue, but what could be done? |
11553 | Placing my hand on his shoulder, I asked,''_ Has n''t God answered the prayer_?'' |
11553 | Presently she returned and said,''Are you a Christian?'' |
11553 | Q.--"Well; what do you see?" |
11553 | Reaching our port they inquired,''Where have you been through the gale?'' |
11553 | Realizing the scrutiny and doubt with which I was observed, I said to my father,''What do you think?'' |
11553 | Said he to himself,''What shall I do? |
11553 | Said she,''_ Well, if I thought he would take a certain text I would like very much to go and hear him._''Said her husband,''_ What text_?'' |
11553 | Said they,"Did you see a woman sitting over there,"describing her? |
11553 | Shall not the living God have the same right? |
11553 | She said,"Please tell me if any one sent you here?" |
11553 | So the thought kept in my heart,''Why ca n''t I pray for one?'' |
11553 | Some of the persons in the room were weeping, others laughing; the sons came nearer the bed, and asked,"Mother, do you know me? |
11553 | Sometimes the thought would intrude,''How can you ask for any given sum-- how do you expect it will come?'' |
11553 | The gentleman asked,"Can you read?" |
11553 | The little daughter thought that something extraordinary must have happened; and running to her mother with open arms, asked eagerly:''What is it? |
11553 | The question of our Lord in Luke xviii., 8,"When the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth?" |
11553 | Then I asked him,''Is the road safe between us and Matamoras?'' |
11553 | Then it seemed to her that the Saviour came to her and said,''M----, what aileth thee?'' |
11553 | Then she waited as if for an answer, and then added,''_ Wo n''t you, please, God_?'' |
11553 | Then turning to the younger sister, he said,"_ How is it, are n''t your shoes worn out? |
11553 | There was a time when his healing power went forth directly; might it not be put forth directly still?" |
11553 | There,"she exclaimed,"can that be what he meant? |
11553 | They gathered around her, and said,"Are you not healed, mother?" |
11553 | They said,"Did you see a man sitting in the house while you was preaching to- day?" |
11553 | WAS IT INSTANTANEOUS? |
11553 | Was he necessarily restricted to the one means? |
11553 | Was it at all probable that so large a sum of money could be sent in so short a time by any one or any number of persons? |
11553 | Was she not fully answered? |
11553 | We looked at each other; I could not say a word, until she said,''What does it all mean? |
11553 | Well, what will you do for yourself? |
11553 | What could I do? |
11553 | What could the mother say? |
11553 | What now was to be done? |
11553 | What possible connection could they have? |
11553 | What say you, gentlemen?" |
11553 | What shall I do to bear up under this?'' |
11553 | What shall I do?'' |
11553 | What should be done? |
11553 | What the doctor can do for a fellow- practitioner, can not the Great Physician do? |
11553 | What was it that made those ministers so sure-- what was it that made the patient recover, at the exact hour that they prayed? |
11553 | What was to be done? |
11553 | What''s the use seein''? |
11553 | When she had finished, the child( but four years of age) said to her mother,"Dear Mother, may I not offer up one more prayer?" |
11553 | Where had these pieces of silver come from? |
11553 | Where was his money to come from? |
11553 | While waiting for the hour, he heard a voice in the next room as if in grave conversation, and asked the servant,"Who is talking in the next room?" |
11553 | Who was it that knew of the$ 4 waiting in that pocket and prompted that hand to take it out and give it away? |
11553 | Who was it that led that missionary to obtain and send relief just as she was praying for that special amount? |
11553 | Who was it that sent the home missionary to the office of a person he had never seen or known? |
11553 | Who was it that sent the landlord to the lady and fixed that amount of$ 4 in his mind? |
11553 | Why did you go and pray?'' |
11553 | Why should not the sick be healed in answer to the prayer of faith? |
11553 | Will He not, dear father, hear our prayers for bread_?" |
11553 | Will he ever again hear the sweet, sad voice,''Wherefore didst thou doubt?''" |
11553 | Will you take it of me?" |
11553 | With the well hand she stretched out her paralyzed hand on the table and said:"Dear Lord, will you heal me?" |
11553 | Would it not be well for Christians to"test"where they can not understand? |
11553 | Would n''t that be a singing school? |
11553 | You spoke with great earnestness, and after we sang the last hymn you remarked,''How can I bless whom God has cursed? |
11553 | _ The times corresponded!_ Was not that prayer instrumental in preserving that life?" |
11553 | _ Was it chance or science? |
11553 | _ Were not his Prayers and efforts specially blessed by the Lord in wisdom, for the guidance of our Nation_? |
11553 | _''What made that captain change his course against his will?'' |
11553 | _''What tune do you play oftenest? |
11553 | did you start the singing school?" |
11553 | do you know me?" |
11553 | hath he spoken and shall he not make it good? |
11553 | he repeated, angrily;"you little thief, what brought you here, then?" |
11553 | he said, roughly;"where is your money?" |
11553 | said I, with surprise,''no letters?'' |
11553 | she cried,''there comes an awful tempest, and what_ is_ to become of my corn?'' |
11553 | what was it?" |
11627 | But what evil has He done, and what reason hast thou to abandon Him in this manner? |
11627 | Do you see him,he says,"this conqueror; with what rapidity he rises from the west by bounds, as it were, and touches not the earth?" |
11627 | Know ye not, that they which run in a race run all, but one obtaineth the prize? 11627 Know you that they which run in a race run all, but one obtaineth the prize? |
11627 | O Lord, what wilt thou give me? |
11627 | What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
11627 | Why should it be thought a thing incredible( that is, impossible) with you, that God should raise the dead? |
11627 | Adore leeks and garlic, and shed penitential tears at the smell of a deified onion? |
11627 | All that is liable to question is, whether we are to conceive in Him any like resentments of such cases, in His present glorified state? |
11627 | And for this he appeals to his judges, Festus and Agrippa:"why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead?" |
11627 | And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late? |
11627 | And is He not now worth your highest estimation and dearest affection? |
11627 | And is not Christ worth the seeking? |
11627 | And is not evil come upon all the world for one sin of Adam? |
11627 | And is not the Savior still a subject of ridicule to the libertine spirits which compose them? |
11627 | And is this faith? |
11627 | And shall we not bear our punishment with patience? |
11627 | And what do we, when, possest of the spirit of the world, we resist a grace which solicits us, which presses us to obey God? |
11627 | And why should God make it known? |
11627 | And why should he appeal to them concerning the credibility of this matter if it be a thing incredible to natural reason? |
11627 | Angels admire them, whom they less concern, and shall redeemed sinners make light of them? |
11627 | Are all that hear me this day certain they shall be saved? |
11627 | Are not the ordinances always losers when anything of your own cometh in competition? |
11627 | Are we not happy, indeed, in being able to obtain so great a blessing by only asking for it? |
11627 | Are you no more near or dear to yourselves than to make light of your own happiness or misery? |
11627 | Are you so hasty? |
11627 | Art thou resolved to strip? |
11627 | As a man, what art thou but a worm to God? |
11627 | Ask the question, by what power was it whereby Abraham was enabled to yield obedience to the Lord? |
11627 | Because you know, that tho a man do run, yet if he do not overcome, or win, as well as run, what will they be the better for their running? |
11627 | Behold thy pleasure on the one hand, and thy God on the other: for which of the two dost thou declare thyself? |
11627 | Bow himself before a cat? |
11627 | But how should a poor soul do to run? |
11627 | But is not this a shame for them that are such? |
11627 | But must we confess that this filial confidence is wanting in all our prayers? |
11627 | But the tears wept over others, as lost and past hope, why should they not yet melt thee, while as yet there is hope in thy case? |
11627 | But when hear we such questions? |
11627 | But wherein, then, according to their opinion, did this image of God consist? |
11627 | But you will say, may not a man have faith, and not that fruit you speak of? |
11627 | Can He demand less of us than that we should think of what we say to Him? |
11627 | Can not men be saved without so much ado? |
11627 | Can you escape without a Christ? |
11627 | Can you find fault if you miss of the salvation which you slighted? |
11627 | Can you make this prayer-- you who disturb His reign in your heart by so many impure and vain desires? |
11627 | Can you not do as your neighbors do, carry the world, sin, lust, pleasure, profit, esteem among men, along with you? |
11627 | Can you not stay and take these along with you? |
11627 | Canst thou think His deceitful tears? |
11627 | Conscience, which, in spite of ourselves, presides in us as judge, said inwardly to us,"What art thou going to do? |
11627 | Consider, 4. Who is it that sends this weighty message to you? |
11627 | Dare we hope that He will listen to us, and think of us, when we forget ourselves in the midst of our prayers? |
11627 | Did not God strike Korah and his company with fire from heaven? |
11627 | Do not some of your consciences by this time smite you, and say, I am the man that have made light of my salvation? |
11627 | Do not these make light of Christ and salvation? |
11627 | Do not those men make light of Christ and salvation that shun the mention of His name, unless it be in a vain or sinful use? |
11627 | Do not those then make light of Christ and salvation that think of them so seldom and coldly in comparison of other things? |
11627 | Do you not see by this time what a case that soul is in that maketh light of Christ and salvation? |
11627 | Do you see him as he rushes on to victory or death? |
11627 | Do you think that Christ shed His blood to save them that continue to make light of it? |
11627 | Doth it not behoove you beforehand to think of these things? |
11627 | Doth not prayer pay for it? |
11627 | Doth not that soul make light of all these that thinks his ease more worth than they? |
11627 | Doth not the Word pay for it? |
11627 | For is it not strange that a rational man should worship an ox, nay, the image of an ox? |
11627 | For who can resist Him who is almighty? |
11627 | God will judge impartially; why should not we do so? |
11627 | God''s people wish well to the souls of others, and wilt not thou wish well to thine own? |
11627 | Has there ever been beheld in two men virtues such as these in characters so different, not to say diametrically opposite? |
11627 | Hath he no cause to fear lest the things of his peace should be forever hid from his eyes? |
11627 | Have you a secret of importance? |
11627 | Have you found a better friend, a greater and a surer happiness than this? |
11627 | Have you gone to them, and told them the doubtfulness of your case, and asked their help in the judging of your condition? |
11627 | Have you nobody to inquire of, that might help you in such a work? |
11627 | His, who never knew guile? |
11627 | How can He grant you, says St. Augustine, what you do not yourself desire to receive? |
11627 | How do you tremble at the wrath and threatenings of a mortal man? |
11627 | How much more will it perplex thee to think that thou hadst not a care of thine own? |
11627 | How shalt thou look upon Him that fainted and died for love of thee, and thou didst scorn His miraculous mercies? |
11627 | How will these despisers of Christ and salvation be able one day to look Him in the face, and to give an account of these neglects? |
11627 | If he be accurst that sets light by father or mother, what then is he that sets light by Christ? |
11627 | If thou now say, Which is the way? |
11627 | If we look into hearts, shall we not find that we ask of God as if we had never before received benefits from Him? |
11627 | Is Dives, then, any better than Lazarus? |
11627 | Is it not God Himself? |
11627 | Is it not evident, then, that you are not under the command of the Word? |
11627 | Is it not your own? |
11627 | Is not Abraham contented with this? |
11627 | Is not everlasting salvation worth more than all this? |
11627 | Is not prayer our resource only when all others have failed us? |
11627 | Is not virtue either unknown or despised? |
11627 | Is self- love lost? |
11627 | Is that a man or a clod of clay that can rise or lie down without being deeply affected with his everlasting estate? |
11627 | Is that a man or a corpse that is not affected with matters of this moment? |
11627 | Is the mystery of the cross then nothing to you? |
11627 | Is there not another way besides this? |
11627 | Is this the man who carried cities by storm and won great battles? |
11627 | It is no less than miracles of love and mercy that He hath showed to us; and yet shall we slight them after all? |
11627 | It may be thou hast a father, mother, brother, etc., going post- haste to heaven, wouldst thou be willing to be left behind them? |
11627 | May not a man have a good heart to Godward, altho he can not find that ability in matter of fruitfulness? |
11627 | No; mark how he pleadeth with God:"Lord God( saith he), what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless?" |
11627 | O Lord, that men did but know what everlasting glory and everlasting torments are: would they then hear us as they do? |
11627 | Oh, what thoughts have drunkards and adulterers, etc., of Christ, that will not part with the basest lust for Him? |
11627 | Or art thou not? |
11627 | Or how shall a man know what is the true fruit of faith, indeed, whereby he may discern his own estate? |
11627 | Ought we to complain if God sometimes leaves us to obscurity, and doubt, and temptation? |
11627 | Shall not the Redeemer''s tears move thee? |
11627 | Shall the God of heaven speak and men make light of it? |
11627 | Shall we not discover there a secret infidelity that renders us unworthy of His goodness? |
11627 | So here, when several have had the same body, whose shall it be at the resurrection? |
11627 | So that I say, the question being, whence came it that Abraham was so fruitful a Christian, what enabled him to do and to suffer what he did? |
11627 | So that the meaning of St. Paul''s question is,"why should it be thought a thing impossible that God should raise the dead?" |
11627 | That all these people wish to improve, desire to perform their duty toward God and man better, and yet fail? |
11627 | That he should fawn upon his dog? |
11627 | That the case is in itself most deplorable, who sees not? |
11627 | That the next time you go prayerless to bed, or about your business, conscience might cry out, Dost thou set no more by Christ and thy salvation? |
11627 | The devils never had a savior offered to them; but thou hast, and dost thou yet make light of Him? |
11627 | The effect of this consideration is this: That if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the wicked and the sinner appear? |
11627 | The saints of old, they being willing and resolved for heaven, what could stop them? |
11627 | The words of this author are admirable: Jesus Christ complains, says this learned prelate, but of what does He complain? |
11627 | Then Paul answered,"What, mean ye to weep, and to break my heart?" |
11627 | Then who will prove the loser by thy contempt? |
11627 | They worship Him externally, but internally how do they regard His maxims? |
11627 | To whom should we speak with attention if not to God? |
11627 | Trembling and astonished, Paul cries out,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
11627 | Upon this ground then, what exhortation could be more proper than this? |
11627 | Was that also done to deceive? |
11627 | Was this like the rest of His course? |
11627 | Well, then, sinner, what sayest thou? |
11627 | What are these things you set so much by as to prefer them before Christ and the saving of your soul? |
11627 | What could a man desire more? |
11627 | What do we see in the passion of Jesus Christ? |
11627 | What do we, my dear hearers, when borne away by the immoderate desires of our hearts to a sin against which our consciences protest? |
11627 | What do you think when you repeat the creed, and mention Christ''s judgment and everlasting life? |
11627 | What does not the kingdom owe to a prince who has honored the house of France, the French name, his century, and, so to speak, all mankind? |
11627 | What idea have they of His humility, of His poverty, of His sufferings? |
11627 | What is it like? |
11627 | What is it that is presented to my vision? |
11627 | What is that? |
11627 | What matter is it at judgment, whether you be to answer for the life of a rich man or a poor man? |
11627 | What must we learn from all this darkness? |
11627 | What need this waste? |
11627 | What needs all this? |
11627 | What other created a Cyrus if it is not God, who named him two hundred years before his birth in the Prophecies of Isaiah? |
11627 | What part of the inhabited world has not heard of the victories of the Prince de Condà © and the wonders of his life? |
11627 | What think you now, friends, of this business? |
11627 | What toys are they that are daily taken up with, while matters of life and death are neglected? |
11627 | What unprejudiced mind might not perceive it to be so? |
11627 | What will become of me so long as I go childless, and so Saviorless, as I may so speak? |
11627 | What will we not do, what are we not willing to suffer, to possess dangerous and contemptible things, and often without any success? |
11627 | What, do you think that every heavy- heeled professor will have heaven? |
11627 | What, every lazy one? |
11627 | What, think they, may not a man be saved without all this ado? |
11627 | What, will you go, saith the devil, without your sins, pleasures, and profits? |
11627 | When He calls for fasting, and weeping, and mourning, who regards it? |
11627 | When the Savior from the height of His cross, ready to give up His spirit, raised this cry toward heaven,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
11627 | When the gospel pierceth the heart indeed, they cry out,"Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved?" |
11627 | Whence comes it that these resolutions are so frail? |
11627 | Where is thy heart? |
11627 | Who can evade His scrutiny that knows all things? |
11627 | Who can hope for pity of Him that is inflexible? |
11627 | Who can think to be exempted when the Judge is righteous and impartial? |
11627 | Whose salvation is it that you make light of? |
11627 | Why doth not the apostle say, Examine whether faith be in you, but"whether ye be in the faith"? |
11627 | Why will you not judge now as you know you shall judge then? |
11627 | Why, sirs, do you not care whether you be saved or damned? |
11627 | Why, sirs, if you had every one a kingdom in your hopes, what were it in comparison of the everlasting kingdom? |
11627 | Why, so it is here; art thou inquiring the way to heaven? |
11627 | Will He reject those who bring all their treasures to Him, and repose everything upon His goodness? |
11627 | Will He then be worth ten thousand worlds? |
11627 | Will it not be a dishonor to thee to see the very boys and girls in the country to have more with them than thyself? |
11627 | Will not God love the heart that trusts in Him? |
11627 | Will not this blood which He has so abundantly shed have the virtue to sanctify you?" |
11627 | Will you leave your friends and companions behind you? |
11627 | Will you therefore see the point confirmed by reason? |
11627 | Wilt thou run? |
11627 | You that are gentlemen and tradesmen, I appeal to your souls whether the Lord and His cause is not the loser this way? |
11627 | You will say, what fruit is it then? |
11627 | You, in fine, who fear the coming of His reign, and do not desire that God should grant what you seem to pray for? |
11627 | and how shall they be supplied that have it not? |
11627 | and the earth opened and swallowed up the congregation of Abiram? |
11627 | and to save them, that value a cup of drink or a lust before His salvation? |
11627 | and what is it that you neglect? |
11627 | and yet, when you hear the Lord thunder judgments out of His Word, who is humbled? |
11627 | are you turned your own enemies? |
11627 | as if he had said, What wilt Thou do for me? |
11627 | how many such runners will there be found in the day of judgment? |
11627 | if the blood of the prophets has drawn down the scourge of God upon men, what may we not expect from the blood of Jesus Christ? |
11627 | my God, shall I eternally appear in thine eyes polluted with that blood which washes away the crimes of others? |
11627 | or will a despised Christ save you then? |
11627 | that can be readier to sleep than to tremble when he heareth how he must stand at the bar of God? |
11627 | that can follow his worldly business and make nothing of the great business of salvation or damnation; and that when they know it is hard at hand? |
11627 | that provide outward necessaries so carefully for their families, but do so little to the saving of their souls? |
11627 | what dung is it that men make so much of, while they set so light by everlasting glory? |
11627 | what is it you run after? |
11627 | which way went he? |
11627 | would they read and think of these things as they do? |
11627 | xxxii., 34:"Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? |
8579 | Am I to fall in China, and see my friends no more? 8579 Am I to sleep in such a grave? |
8579 | Is there one here who wishes to be excused from this work? 8579 Must I be born again?" |
8579 | One who stood near her said,''O Death, where is thy sting? 8579 Scenes of sacred grace and pleasure, Holy days and Sabbath bell, Richest, brightest, sweetest treasure, Can I say a last farewell? |
8579 | Who will resign his place in the missionary ranks, and let us go forth to do battle for the truth? |
8579 | Who would not wish to die like those Whom God''s own Spirit deigns to bless? 8579 Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death''s alarms? |
8579 | ''Did Christ o''er sinners weep? |
8579 | And how can I stay? |
8579 | And required it, think you, no effort to bring her mind into this godlike state? |
8579 | And shall our cheeks be dry?''" |
8579 | And shall we weep? |
8579 | And where are they now? |
8579 | Are_ all_ from the town?'' |
8579 | But how could she part with her darling one? |
8579 | But who does not know that Jehovah is able to accomplish more by our deaths than_ we_ are able to accomplish by our lives? |
8579 | Can I leave you, Far in distant lands to dwell? |
8579 | Cost it no toil to discipline the heart to such sore trials? |
8579 | Could they not be obtained? |
8579 | Death found her ready, and led a_ willing_ victim down into the sepulchre, who exclaimed, as she entered it,"O Death, where is thy sting? |
8579 | Have I looked upon the shores of America for the last time?" |
8579 | Her language was,--"Shall I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize And sailed through bloody seas?" |
8579 | Her last words were,"How long, O Lord, how long?" |
8579 | How can I go with but little prospect of return? |
8579 | How can I leave my mother here while oceans roll between us? |
8579 | How could she behold him borne away to a distant land, to see her face no more? |
8579 | How could she leave all these? |
8579 | How could she leave that parent? |
8579 | How could she say"Farewell,"and do it with the consciousness that she should gaze upon that mild countenance and that loved form no more? |
8579 | In the service of such a Master, who of his followers would talk of sacrifice? |
8579 | Is it no privilege to aid in forwarding the only cause for which the world was made and for which all nature stands? |
8579 | Is it no_ privilege_ to help forward that cause which has engaged the hearts and hands of all the wise and good of every age? |
8579 | Just converted, fresh from the public vows of consecration, the anxious question,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" |
8579 | O Grave, where is thy victory? |
8579 | O Grave, where is thy victory?" |
8579 | O, has earth ever witnessed such a spectacle as that? |
8579 | O, when will they turn and live? |
8579 | The old man, with his white locks and streaming eyes, asked,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
8579 | The whole city felt the influence of the work of grace; and the sceptic, in amazement, asked,"What do these things mean?" |
8579 | There, beneath the cool breath of autumn, they united in singing,--"When shall we all meet again? |
8579 | To a friend in Beverly she writes as follows:"How can I go and leave those who have done so much for me, and who will be so sorry for my loss? |
8579 | To the question,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" |
8579 | What can_ I_ do to believe? |
8579 | What shall I do?'' |
8579 | When shall we all meet again? |
8579 | While in the agony of death she said,''Why can not I be released?'' |
8579 | Who can wish her back to earth? |
8579 | Why, my brother, would you be excused? |
8579 | Years ago the question was,"Who will go?" |
8579 | be buried away from home, with such a tree as this to wave over me?" |
8579 | but now the question is being asked,"Who will stay at home and let_ me_ go?" |
6583 | _ Again, in the book of Proverbs, chapter xxxi, the inspired writer speaks in the following terms:_ who shall find a valiant woman? |
6583 | A vitiated or inadequate primitive education, bad example, pernicious instruction? |
6583 | Among the young ladies of your acquaintance are there not some who are unhappy? |
6583 | And can you, without a voluntary illusion, convince yourself that youth is a preservative against misfortune? |
6583 | Are you prepared to ward off the intruder? |
6583 | But the will, what has become of it, what has it gained by this development of all the powers of the soul? |
6583 | Could there be anything more explicit in condemnation of the world? |
6583 | Could we have a better or more appreciative audience to witness what we do? |
6583 | Did you ever seriously try to render an account of the attributes of God, and particularly of His goodness and justice? |
6583 | Do you listen to them? |
6583 | Do you presume that you know full well what He is, what He has done for you, and what He still does for you every day? |
6583 | Have you clearly understood this truth in its full force? |
6583 | Have you given it serious thought? |
6583 | How is it possible for us to know what we are while we ignore what God is for us and what we owe Him? |
6583 | How shall you surmount this twofold difficulty? |
6583 | How will she be able to confront his exactions or cope with his rage? |
6583 | How will she bear with the faults of her servants and of those with whom she may be obliged to live? |
6583 | If it wounds you how will you endure the pain? |
6583 | If this be the case, you will say, why remain in the world? |
6583 | If this be your conviction, I ask:"Why do you read this book? |
6583 | In what faculty of the soul does it reside? |
6583 | Is it not every one''s duty to leave it as soon as possible and abandon it to its own corruption? |
6583 | Is there one who has not realized in that woman either a daughter of Eve or of the Blessed, Virgin-- an Eden or a Nazareth? |
6583 | It is their sacred duty and right to advise you; and to whom should you look for a more disinterested advice? |
6583 | Now it is quite evident that he who does not know God does not possess this virtue; for how can a man humble himself before a being that he ignores? |
6583 | Now shall you adopt as the rule of your conduct and judgment a wisdom which God has not only reproved, but even branded with the stigma of folly? |
6583 | Now what is this precious quality? |
6583 | Now, what is this world from which we must separate in order to lead a Christian life? |
6583 | What are the rewards that crown its victories? |
6583 | What are the signs by which its presence is made manifest? |
6583 | What is the end to which it tends? |
6583 | Where is its place among them? |
6583 | Where is the Christian that knows God? |
6583 | Who is it that speaks to the child''s will? |
6583 | Why abstain from this action, which is not bad in itself? |
6583 | Why avoid such a place, such a person, such company? |
6583 | Why deprive our heart and imagination of the pleasures which the beautiful inspires? |
6583 | Why neglect or cast off that ornament? |
6583 | Why not form at an early age a taste for worldly beauty, and be possessed of all the resources and advantages that it affords us during life? |
6583 | Why not read this book, this novel? |
6583 | Why renounce such and such amusements? |
6583 | Why restrain to inaction the finest faculties of the soul, and refuse them the aliment they so ardently crave? |
6583 | Why seek to compare their knowledge with that which you possess? |
6583 | Why should you envy those women, who, for being older than you, have gained by experience a knowledge of things that you should still ignore? |
6583 | Why suffer this or that privation? |
6583 | Why take such and such precautions? |
6583 | Why? |
28025 | But,I persevered,"do you know if she loves you or would take you?" |
28025 | Do you know the woman you would like to get? |
28025 | Forgot what? |
28025 | Has he the idols with him now? |
28025 | Have you a''doctor''in your camp? |
28025 | How is this? |
28025 | Oh,I replied,"I did not forget; I only wanted to see if you remembered it?" |
28025 | On what then do you really rely, looking at it from a business point of view? |
28025 | Shall we bind him and beat him? |
28025 | Shall we burn his houses and destroy his plantations? |
28025 | Shall we place him in a canoe, thrust him out to sea, and let him drown or escape as he may? |
28025 | Then why,I insisted,"do n''t you go and marry her?" |
28025 | Then,said I,"it is long since you had a refreshing sleep: now, will you lie down, and I will sit by you till you fall asleep?" |
28025 | We are sent to demand on whose authority? |
28025 | What then? |
28025 | What''s your name? |
28025 | When did you get that authority? |
28025 | Why so, my child? |
28025 | ''And this?'' |
28025 | ''And this?'' |
28025 | ''And this?'' |
28025 | ( Is there any child reading this, or hearing it read, who never thanks God or asks Him to bless daily bread? |
28025 | ( Query: how many white Heathens are there?) |
28025 | (= Who is there?) |
28025 | --"What,"said others,"have the Sabbath Schools given you the_ Dayspring_ and can you not support her yourselves?" |
28025 | A merciful clump of trees had hid from her eyes all that had occurred, and she said to Ouben,"What''s the cause of that noise?" |
28025 | Abraham, where is now your faith in Jesus? |
28025 | After this I said;"Now, shall we pray?" |
28025 | Again a voice came through the darkness,"How did you get in there?" |
28025 | Alas, when I too am dead, who will climb the trees and get you a cocoanut to drink? |
28025 | All eyes were fixed on the impudent little man, and the Captain asked,"What sort of a character is this?" |
28025 | All fled as he approached them; and he cried,"Where are the cowards now?" |
28025 | Am I not your friend? |
28025 | Am I to be shut out from Jesus? |
28025 | And do you think me foolish, when I confess that I shouted in an ecstasy of joy when the first sheet came from the press all correct? |
28025 | And even if you could make your ladder higher than our highest cocoanut tree, on what would you lean its top? |
28025 | And is it to trade and to get money, like the other white men? |
28025 | And then the question came,"Who''s there?" |
28025 | And who among you will take my place in the village School and in the Church? |
28025 | And who will bathe your lips and brow?" |
28025 | And your children, my brothers and sisters? |
28025 | And--"Will you live henceforth for Jesus only, hating all sin and trying to love and serve your Saviour?" |
28025 | Are you expecting another?" |
28025 | Are you to permit one young fool to defy us all, and break up the Lord''s work on Aniwa? |
28025 | As the first boat- load was discharged, the Orphans surrounded me, saying,"Missi, here is a cask that rattles like biscuits? |
28025 | As the three Chiefs arose, and drew near to one of the Sacred Trees, to begin their ceremonial, the Natives fled in terror, crying,"Missi, Iawà ©? |
28025 | At last the Chiefs, running in breathless haste, called out to me,"Missi, Missi, do tell us, is the stolen property all here?" |
28025 | At length the master said,"Will you not come in?" |
28025 | Besides, what avails it to us, when dead and gone, if even a Man- of- war should come and punish our murderers?" |
28025 | But how did you get it?" |
28025 | But how to sail? |
28025 | But they will ask you,''What is it like?'' |
28025 | But they will still say,''What is it?'' |
28025 | But, Missi,"continued he, after a pause that looked liked silent worship,"will it always rain up through the earth? |
28025 | By and by he remarked,"Would n''t it be worth while to change your clothes?" |
28025 | Can I see him alone? |
28025 | Can it speak?" |
28025 | Can you afford a second £100?" |
28025 | Can you stand there and see your friend shot? |
28025 | Could you kindly send me on to the next Station by your conveyance? |
28025 | Excitedly he said,"Why? |
28025 | Facing them sternly I demanded,"What is it that you want? |
28025 | Has he not got the rain deep down in the earth? |
28025 | Have we not often drunk tea and eaten together in my house? |
28025 | Have you ever been happy?" |
28025 | He again said,"Missi, would you like me to remain alone with you, seeing my wife is dead and in her grave here?" |
28025 | He asked sharply,"To whom?" |
28025 | He asked,"Missi, will you remain?" |
28025 | He continued,"Where shall I get money for current expenses? |
28025 | He looked rather angry, thinking that I befooled him, and retorted,"Who ever heard of wood speaking?" |
28025 | He replied,"I curse, I can not pray; would you have me curse God to His face?" |
28025 | He replied,"Who fears Jehovah? |
28025 | His rage overcame his duplicity, and he exclaimed,"What black fellow give you these? |
28025 | How can I approve of any person being killed for me or for the Worship? |
28025 | How can I interfere? |
28025 | How could you expect our Island to send up showers of rain from below?" |
28025 | How is it that I only am to be shut out from Jesus?" |
28025 | How is it that Jehovah did not protect the Gordons and the Erromangan worshipers? |
28025 | How many English miles is it to Mr. Baird''s farm?" |
28025 | I answered,"Surely you do n''t mean to attack and destroy these poor people?" |
28025 | I appealed to them whether they were not all tired and hungry? |
28025 | I called out,"_ Akai era_?" |
28025 | I concluded that he was asking,"What is this?" |
28025 | I drew near to him, and said,"Abraham, they are all going; are you also going to leave me here alone on Tanna, to fight the battles of the Lord?" |
28025 | I found that they understood my question, What is this? |
28025 | I inferred that he was asking,"What is this?" |
28025 | I inquired if they had any objects of Worship, or any belief in God? |
28025 | I replied saying,"Dear friend, how can I take it? |
28025 | I replied,"Ian, you are surely not taking me away to kill me? |
28025 | I replied,"This is Miaki, our great war Chief? |
28025 | I replied,"Well, how can I help you?" |
28025 | I said to a Chief in Tannese,"How do these bones come to be here?" |
28025 | I said,"Do you read the_ Messenger_?" |
28025 | I said,"Faimungo, why are we to leave you? |
28025 | I said,"Nasi, do I now at last meet you as a Christian?" |
28025 | I said,"What did I promise you?" |
28025 | I said,"Will you write the Convener to that effect, or let me do so?" |
28025 | I said,"Would you like this dear little boy of yours to grow up like yourself, and lead the life you have lived?" |
28025 | I said,"where have you come from? |
28025 | I then said,"Could you let us see them?" |
28025 | Ian, the great Inland Chief, rose in wrath and said,"On whose lands does the Missi live, yours or ours? |
28025 | In Glasgow a lady called at my brother''s house, saying,"Is the Missionary at home? |
28025 | In blank wonder, he innocently stared at me, and said,"But what do you want?" |
28025 | Instantly, lifting a piece of wood, I said,"Nungsi nari enu?" |
28025 | Is it a Spirit, a God, or a ship on fire? |
28025 | Is it already Church- time? |
28025 | Is my mother, your dear wife, well? |
28025 | It had often been said to me, after my addresses in the Assemblies and elsewhere,"How do you ever expect to raise £6000? |
28025 | It was scarcely full dawn, yet I jumped up and called to a man that was passing,"Have I slept in? |
28025 | Jehovah- Jireh? |
28025 | Miaki, with a sneer, said,"Missi, where was Jehovah to- day? |
28025 | Mocking questions were also shouted at us, such as,"Who made the rains, winds, and hurricanes? |
28025 | Mr. Simpson asked,"Have you ever before seen stones like these?" |
28025 | Namakei came to me, morning after morning, saying,"Missi, is it done? |
28025 | Now why did not you, my father and mother, tell me all these things about Jesus, if you are going to meet Him too?" |
28025 | O Lord, our Father in Heaven, art Thou going to take away all Thy servants, and Thy Worship from this dark land? |
28025 | On another occasion, a man said to his companion, looking toward me,"Taha neigo?" |
28025 | On parting I said,"Nasi, are you happy? |
28025 | On returning I found them all around it, and they said,"Missi, have you forgotten what you promised us?" |
28025 | On seeing him hovering so alarmingly near, tomahawk in hand, I saluted him,"Nelwang, do you want to speak to me?" |
28025 | One day I observed two men, the one lifting up one of our articles to the other, and saying,"Nungsi nari enu?" |
28025 | One day I saw two men approaching, when one, who was a stranger, pointed to me with his finger, and said,"Se nangin?" |
28025 | One day a man, after carefully examining some article, turned to his neighbor and said,"Taha tinei?" |
28025 | One pointed out that he had himself a stiff knee, and argued,"If he can make a hurricane, why ca n''t he restore the joint of his own knee? |
28025 | Or was there a stroke of mischief, of that teasing, which so often opens up the door to the most serious step in all our lives? |
28025 | Or why are the people met so early?" |
28025 | Returning to him, washed and dressed, I inquired if he had arranged for a meeting? |
28025 | Saying,"Where are the boys?" |
28025 | Shall we kill him?" |
28025 | She used to say,"Is there no Missionary to go and teach Nasi''s people? |
28025 | So, one day, he brought her to me, saying,"Missi, can you give my wife also a pair of new glass eyes like mine? |
28025 | Taking others out of my pocket, I said,"These make people sick and well, do n''t they?" |
28025 | The Captain would ask,''Who killed him and put him down there?'' |
28025 | The Chief looked at me eagerly, fully convinced at length that the well contained a treasure, and exclaimed,"Missi, what can we do to help you now?" |
28025 | The hour struck as I was getting my articles arranged and spread out upon the table, and they began shouting,"Where''s the Missionary?" |
28025 | The late Dr. Fullarton, our dear friend, said to them,"But what guarantee do you ask from the Missionaries for your money?" |
28025 | The man quickly answered,"Well? |
28025 | The old Chief eagerly responded,"Does it speak my words?" |
28025 | The two principal Chiefs now came running and asked,"Missi, will it be a ship of war?" |
28025 | Then is that child not a white Heathen?) |
28025 | Then, after a pause, he proceeded,"When you go back to Fotuna, and they ask you,''What is Christianity?'' |
28025 | They asked,"And will you tell him?" |
28025 | They said,"Missi, only tell us, will he ask you if we have been stealing your things?" |
28025 | This they accepted; and the next day Ian and his men brought Miaki a return present and said,"You know that Missi lives on our land? |
28025 | Towards the end I pleaded with him even then to look to the Lord Jesus, and asked if I might pray with him? |
28025 | Turning to me, he exclaimed,"Missi, have you the large yam we presented to you? |
28025 | Was he mad? |
28025 | Was it possible to teach them right and wrong, to Christianize, or even to civilize them? |
28025 | Was the fault in the cocoanuts? |
28025 | What could be done? |
28025 | What could we do without paddles?" |
28025 | What do you want? |
28025 | What guarantee have they to give us, except their faith in God? |
28025 | What is it? |
28025 | What meanest Thou to do, O Lord? |
28025 | What other punishment remains that Youwili cares for?" |
28025 | What shall I do?" |
28025 | What will God have to say to those white fiends who poisoned and maddened poor dear Mungaw? |
28025 | When he saw so much food and so many different kinds of it, he asked,''What is this made of?'' |
28025 | When you go back to Fotuna, they will ask you,''What is Christianity?'' |
28025 | Who amongst you all will stand up for Jesus?" |
28025 | Who caused all the disease? |
28025 | Who ever expected to see rain coming up through the earth? |
28025 | Who ever heard of a white man going down into the earth to bury himself? |
28025 | Who ever went up there to hear Him or see Him? |
28025 | Who fight against the Worship and all good, who are the thieves and murderers, who tell the lies, you or we? |
28025 | Who killed Missi Mathieson''s child?" |
28025 | Why do n''t you eat? |
28025 | Why should He not also send us His Son from Heaven? |
28025 | Will you let me preach a sermon on the well?" |
28025 | Will you let us come to- morrow morning?" |
28025 | Will you let us take it to the Mission House?" |
28025 | Will you let us take one feast of the young and tender leaves? |
28025 | Will you not give it up now?" |
28025 | Will you please come back?" |
28025 | Will you refuse an offer that many gentlemen''s sons would be proud of?" |
28025 | Will you show us the path? |
28025 | Will you soon open the cask? |
28025 | Would it not be like a Missionary to be upon my knees, adoring God for this first portion of His blessed Word ever printed in this new language? |
28025 | Would you not think it well to send it back with these men of Fotuna, to let their people see the yams which Jehovah grows for us in answer to prayer? |
28025 | Ye ask an explanation? |
28025 | You do n''t want to bring evil on me and my wife and child? |
28025 | You do n''t want to kill him, do you? |
28025 | You see that group of young men? |
28025 | You tell me, if you were my circumstances, how would you act?" |
28025 | and where is Yakin?" |
28025 | or will it come and go like the rain from the clouds?" |
28025 | or, What is that? |
28025 | to devote_ the whole profits_, year after year, to the direct service of God and His cause among men? |
28025 | to one of them with my finger, and looking at the other, inquired,"Se nangin?" |
28025 | what is it?" |
48343 | And now,said the divine,"will your Majesty permit me to ask a question?" |

31525 | How am I to pack and carry my goods? |
31525 | How is my mission to get on beginning thus? |
31525 | How then? |
31525 | How''s your soul, brother? |
31525 | I ask them if I burnt them would they think they were going to heaven? |
31525 | I asked him if a fly were inside the kettle, would the kettle be alive? |
31525 | I asked him,"Have you travelled this way before?" |
31525 | I heard of Mr. Lovett being in America--_American Pictures_ on the stocks? |
31525 | I knew nothing of anatomy, had no books, absolutely nothing to consult; what could I do but pray? |
31525 | I say then, Did God cast off His people? |
31525 | I wonder is this so? |
31525 | If God has no form, how can anyone be at His right hand? |
31525 | If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less? |
31525 | If a man is insured against all possible harm, why should he be afraid? |
31525 | If you say so, I may just say that I have something of the same feeling; but what am I to do? |
31525 | In God? |
31525 | In the main, his bold summons was,"Do you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?" |
31525 | In them? |
31525 | Is he marking out a road map, so that he can return guiding an army? |
31525 | Is he taking notes of the capabilities of the country? |
31525 | Is he, as a wizard, carrying off the good luck of the country in his note- book? |
31525 | Is it last time? |
31525 | Is it not blessed of Christ to care so much for us poor feeble men, so sinful and so careless about honouring Him? |
31525 | Is it not so?'' |
31525 | Is it not true that but for tobacco and whisky there would be food and clothes for a much larger population? |
31525 | Is n''t it all very silly and very sad? |
31525 | Is not the real lesson of James Gilmour''s life twofold? |
31525 | Is that not so? |
31525 | Is the kingdom a harvest field? |
31525 | Is this the way to get better harvests? |
31525 | Is what is true of that district not true of the whole world? |
31525 | It was the great religious event of the year for the neighbourhood, and how do you think they do? |
31525 | Jesus died to save us: surely we can show our gratitude by giving Him some of our money?'' |
31525 | Now when that comes, what are you to do? |
31525 | Ought we not to have it? |
31525 | Passed through large orchards of apple(?) |
31525 | Shall we be able to understand how we were ashamed to do what we knew was a Christian duty before one whom we knew to be a mocker at religion? |
31525 | Shall we be able to understand why we were afraid to speak to this man or that woman about salvation? |
31525 | So we felt with Peter,"Can any man forbid water that these should not be baptized?" |
31525 | That gave us twenty- three miles''private conversation, and a good answer to give to all who demanded,"Where are you going?" |
31525 | The growth of tobacco was defeating heaven''s purpose, and as long as they did so, what face had they to ask for good seasons? |
31525 | The reply of Candace''s eunuch,''How can I understand unless someone shall guide me?'' |
31525 | The subject fixed one Friday evening for debate in the discussion class was,"Have animals souls?" |
31525 | The thought passed through my mind,"Can that be the messenger?" |
31525 | The thousands here need salvation; God is most anxious to give it to them: where, then, is the hindrance? |
31525 | Then I say,"What will you have me do?" |
31525 | Then is not this what God wants in us? |
31525 | Then said,"Would any one pray to go there if it were not a good place?" |
31525 | Then was God inside the kettle? |
31525 | Then, again, if God is everywhere, Christ is everywhere right and left of God, and how can that be? |
31525 | They have a system which quite satisfies them, and what more do they want? |
31525 | Thinking round to see what it can be, I hear a voice saying,"Ca n''t you trust Me with the money you have laid up for your children?" |
31525 | To Mr. Owen he wrote on March 2:--''Does God not mean to have a medical man here? |
31525 | Was God in that pot, in the tent, in his boot? |
31525 | Was n''t she a stupid old woman? |
31525 | We may be all dead men directly; are we afraid to die? |
31525 | We must die some time or other; now that we have a near view of its possibility, how can we look forward to it? |
31525 | We trust Him, He saves us; and all He asks is that we should tell men about what He has done; and is there one man we meet to whom we shall not speak? |
31525 | We''ll all go some day and be with her, wo n''t that be good? |
31525 | We_ do_ that, do n''t we? |
31525 | Well, as the men in the furnace said of God,"Will He care to defend us? |
31525 | What if you do n''t like each other? |
31525 | What then? |
31525 | What use are they to me? |
31525 | What were we to do? |
31525 | What_ can_ he be up to? |
31525 | When shall I be able to speak to the people? |
31525 | Where is now the Lord God of Elijah? |
31525 | Whisky and tobacco reduce the comforts and the number of the population there-- is their effect not the same on the world in general? |
31525 | Who can be restrained by the cold- blooded calculation of preserving health? |
31525 | Who would be your companions? |
31525 | Why should n''t I? |
31525 | Why should we be spiritually bankrupt? |
31525 | Why should we be trammelled by the opinions and customs of men? |
31525 | Why should we care what men say of us? |
31525 | Why should we confer with men?'' |
31525 | Would Christ have said that? |
31525 | Would not this be ideal Christian life? |
31525 | Would you believe it? |
31525 | Would you credit it? |
31525 | You, Jimmie, know Jesus; does Willie? |
31525 | and if she still insisted he would add in a solemn manner:"_ Mother_, what if the door should be shut when I get there?" |
31525 | shall Christ look to us in vain to declare simply what He has done? |
31525 | to his name would have done? |
31525 | was the question;"would I ever have the hope that I knew others had?" |
30362 | Dost thou charge my sin to me? 30362 Who,"said the wond''ring John,"are they In white array, Whom now I see before me?" |
30362 | Why should sorrow ever grieve me? |
30362 | ''Tis but for the gold he''s worth; Are we prosp''rous, do we flourish? |
30362 | ( Is God for me, t''oppose me?) |
30362 | --why then toilest thou? |
30362 | A hero Thou Whose courage low Sinks''fore disgrace or danger? |
30362 | And doth the Head befriend me, Am I belov''d by God? |
30362 | And shall Thy word and promise fail, Be put to shame for ever? |
30362 | And what have many more than of the poor the sweat? |
30362 | And who thy frame uprearèd? |
30362 | Are we unworthy? |
30362 | Art thou to- day in joyous mood, Rejoicing in thy share of good? |
30362 | But dust and ashes what am I? |
30362 | But say whoe''er can tell it-- Who are they who repent? |
30362 | Christ is near, What can here E''er of Him deprive me? |
30362 | Consider what we be-- A moment, where are we? |
30362 | Could I be better living Than such have liv''d below? |
30362 | Did I e''er''neath sorrow bend? |
30362 | Did my heart grief ever rend? |
30362 | Did then Thy good and holy Son Himself for us deliver, And I enslavèd, sinful one, Shall I resist Thee ever? |
30362 | Do foes Thee scorn and treat with shame? |
30362 | Dost Thou not work? |
30362 | Dost from the world withdraw thyself, And lov''st God more than gold or pelf? |
30362 | Dost live in sorrow, sunk in grief, Hast much affliction-- no relief? |
30362 | Doth God support Thee and thine ever? |
30362 | Doth He say,"Thou art Mine, thy way doth please Me well?" |
30362 | Doth ev''ry one despise Thy name? |
30362 | Doth wrath so burn, That Thou''lt ne''er turn To me, and stand beside me? |
30362 | For in all His works amazing, See I not His care for me? |
30362 | God oft gives me days of gladness, Shall I grieve If He give Seasons too of sadness? |
30362 | Had God been averse to me, Would He have supported All the gifts so rich and free He to me imparted? |
30362 | Had I no debt of sin to face, How could I ever share Thy grace? |
30362 | Hast thou death deserv''d for ever? |
30362 | Hath He not all the weary way From youth till now thee led, Oft chas''d misfortune''s clouds away That gather''d o''er thy head? |
30362 | Have I e''er been vexèd sore? |
30362 | Have I pleasure? |
30362 | Have I riches? |
30362 | His people''s cry Shall God deny, Who day and night are praying? |
30362 | Hollow and unfaithful ever Is the friendship of the earth; Seemeth she a man to favour? |
30362 | How is it reason finds it hard, The truth so oft rejecteth, That Thou with favour dost regard E''en while Thy hand afflicteth? |
30362 | How long shall I in grief lie low, And inward sorrow grieve me? |
30362 | How long shall I, thy stricken child, Bereft of soul- rest languish? |
30362 | How long shall my proud enemy, Who only meaneth ill to me, Exult o''er me in triumph? |
30362 | How long shall storm and wind so wild, Fill heart with fear and anguish? |
30362 | How long will sorrow on me press And deep heart- anguish grieve me? |
30362 | How long wilt chide, And Thy face hide, In darkness let me languish? |
30362 | How long, Lord, in forgetfulness And darkness wilt Thou leave me? |
30362 | How will my bounding heart With joy be overflowing, Praise evermore renewing, When through the door of heaven By Thee is entrance given? |
30362 | I am God''s, and mine is God, Who from Him can part me? |
30362 | I have deserv''d it, cease t''oppose The Lord''s will, shall I never? |
30362 | If I''m then a child of grace, Should I shun God ever, When He from sin''s devious ways, Seeks me to deliver? |
30362 | If my cup should overflow, Proud in spirit I might grow, Thee deny with scornful word, Asking who is God and Lord? |
30362 | In patience am I giving Myself to just such woe? |
30362 | In suff''rings art thou doom''d to live? |
30362 | Is God for me? |
30362 | Is it from Thee? |
30362 | Is it not pure love that filleth, And His faithful heart o''erflows, When He ever cares for those, Who do only what He willeth? |
30362 | Is the handredweight thy gain? |
30362 | Is this felicity? |
30362 | Is this the first time we have known And tasted sore affliction? |
30362 | Is''t so? |
30362 | It is thought, that at this time Gerhardt wrote his heart- stirring and beautiful hymn,--Ist Gott für mich, so trete? |
30362 | Jesus, why should they so grieve Thee, Who''re uncircumcis''d in heart, By this rite? |
30362 | Mine art thou still, and mine shalt be, Who will be this denying? |
30362 | Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping, A moment-- I''ll be sleeping, Where''s body then and soul? |
30362 | Must I be passing Through cares harassing? |
30362 | Must I then His own restore Him? |
30362 | My Saviour, what dejects Thee, And causeth all Thy woe? |
30362 | My body what but grass so dry? |
30362 | My face, why should''st thou troubled be When thou of death art hearing? |
30362 | No stone, our Saviour God art Thou, How canst Thou so afflict us now? |
30362 | O my soul, why dost thou grieve, Why dost mourn so bitterly, That more freely God doth give Gifts to others than to thee? |
30362 | Of wealth, what is thy store? |
30362 | Reflect, my friend, say, if you know What station is there here below Without its fall and daily share Of sorrow, pain, and anxious care? |
30362 | SAY WITH WHAT SALUTATIONS? |
30362 | SHALL I NOT MY GOD BE PRAISING? |
30362 | Satan e''er fool''d me before? |
30362 | Satan''s wiles dost thou not see? |
30362 | Say who to pale hath made it? |
30362 | Say with what salutations Shall I Thine advent greet? |
30362 | Say, where a place to lay my head, On earth had I attainèd? |
30362 | Seems help impossible to thee? |
30362 | Shake thy head in scorn, and"flee,"Bid the old deceiver--"Wilt renew thy thrusts at me, Me to fear deliver? |
30362 | Shall He be reproach''d by men Through thy sore dejection? |
30362 | Shall I not my God be praising, And in Him not joyful be? |
30362 | Shall cradled infants feel the stroke, Shall they endure the heavy yoke? |
30362 | She will smile on us, and nourish; Doth misfortune o''er us low''r? |
30362 | So darest thou His pow''r so great Ne''er doubt a moment even, Who is it that doth all create,-- By whom all gifts are given? |
30362 | Soul, why art thou sad and dreary? |
30362 | The heart of Herod loathèd Thee, Yet what art Thou? |
30362 | The life we''re living What is it giving? |
30362 | The tent- like firmament who builds, Who spreads th''expanse of blue, Who sends to fertilize our fields Refreshing rain and dew? |
30362 | Thou art but man, to thee''tis known, Why dost thou then endeavour To do what God should do alone, Or can accomplish ever? |
30362 | Thou art my only light below, No other helper here I know; I wait on Thee both night and day, Why dost Thou, then, O Lord, delay? |
30362 | Thou spring of boundless blessing, How could e''er my feeble mind Of Thy depth the bottom find, Though my efforts were unceasing? |
30362 | Though a heavy cross I''m bearing, And my heart Feels the smart, Shall I be despairing? |
30362 | Though he rage sore, What can he more Than soul and body sever? |
30362 | Thy foes why should they move thee? |
30362 | To glad our eyes, by whose decree, Say, hath the light appearèd? |
30362 | To us vouchsafèd can it be The Sun of Righteousness to see, The Star from Jacob''s stem so bright, The woman''s Seed, the Gentiles''Light? |
30362 | To wring my heart with anguish? |
30362 | WHY WITHOUT, THEN, ART THOU STAYING? |
30362 | What God doth who can e''er explore, And say what He rejoiceth o''er? |
30362 | What are they Better than small dust of earth? |
30362 | What can I with my utmost pow''r? |
30362 | What can death''s poison do to me? |
30362 | What can there be( I ask of thee) That can arise, To fear thee to deliver? |
30362 | What do they eat and drink, and what gain do they get? |
30362 | What dost thou think and speak, What''s fathomless, art sounding? |
30362 | What good did all the might of men Do, when to thee were given Life, mind, and pow''r from heaven? |
30362 | What good the life I''m living? |
30362 | What harm can do Our soul''s dread foe To us at all, Though full of gall his spirit? |
30362 | What hast Thou e''er neglected For my good here below? |
30362 | What have we had but grief alone On earth, and sore dejection? |
30362 | What have we here or what are we, Of good what can earth give, That we do not alone from Thee, Our Father, aye receive? |
30362 | What is His wide dominion fair? |
30362 | What is all this life possesseth? |
30362 | What is the sum of all our gain From youth to age, but toil and pain, Heart- sorrow and vexation? |
30362 | What is there in sky or sea, What the wide earth over, What that works no good for me, Canst thou then discover? |
30362 | What meaneth He? |
30362 | What means He to announce to us, Who nature''s course can alter thus? |
30362 | What mortal knows His Maker''s mind? |
30362 | What shall I do then, Lord? |
30362 | What should thus in sorrow sink us? |
30362 | What to- day my heart doth gladden, That to- morrow doth not sadden? |
30362 | What use, though much we''ve learnèd here, If first we do not learn Thy fear, And ne''er to serve Thee right attain? |
30362 | What will be then Thy greeting, Me and my brethren meeting? |
30362 | What''s Satan''s might and majesty? |
30362 | What''s it worth? |
30362 | What''s measureless, art bounding? |
30362 | When did God command me Judgment to require from thee? |
30362 | Where shall I from Thy Spirit fly, Escape from Thine omniscient eye? |
30362 | Where shall I from Thy presence hide, And where remote from Thee abide? |
30362 | Where were thy mind and will and heart When land and ocean over, Yea, even earth''s remotest part, The sky was spread to cover? |
30362 | Who can declare,"My house was ever All free from care, And troubled never?" |
30362 | Who can rob me of my heaven That God''s Son, As mine own, To my faith hath given? |
30362 | Who car''d for thee ere light of day Had dawn''d upon thy vision, While in the womb thy soul still lay As in a gloomy prison? |
30362 | Who did pow''r on thee bestow Sentence to deliver? |
30362 | Who hath thy frame replenish''d With members fair and finish''d? |
30362 | Who hath thy veins in order laid, For each a course convenient made? |
30362 | Who is he that could ever find The counsel out God hath decreed, The way wherein He''d have us tread? |
30362 | Who is it life and health bestows, Who keeps us with His hand In golden peace, wards off war''s woes, From our dear native land? |
30362 | Who is it that afflicts Thee? |
30362 | Who is the Master, where is he, Who in perfection sketcheth The hands this infant dear to me Now smilingly outstretcheth? |
30362 | Who made the sun and moon to shine, Who gave herbs, trees, and beasts as thine, Who bid them satisfy thee, And no desire deny thee? |
30362 | Who thought upon thy welfare then? |
30362 | Who warmeth us in cold and frost, Who shields us from the wind, Who orders it that wine and must We in their season find? |
30362 | Whose skill was it that fashion''d thee? |
30362 | Why are, but for good to me, Air and water given? |
30362 | Why com''st Thou, Lord, so slowly To free me from this state? |
30362 | Why do clouds their streams outpour? |
30362 | Why do dews earth cover? |
30362 | Why do star so beauteously Shine on us from Heaven? |
30362 | Why do thy cares both night and day Grieve thee so bitterly? |
30362 | Why dost Thou let me feel such smart, Pass through such tribulation? |
30362 | Why for thy life should care so grieve thee, How to nourish and sustain it? |
30362 | Why should sorrow ever grieve me? |
30362 | Why should tears so freely flow? |
30362 | Why should they such pain e''er give Thee, Why inflict such cruel smart? |
30362 | Why through holy men of old Have God''s words been given? |
30362 | Why wilt thou thyself so weary When there is no need for thee? |
30362 | Why with verdure''s cover''d o''er, Why flow blessings over Hill and valley, field and wood? |
30362 | Why without, then, art Thou staying, Blessed of the Lord from far? |
30362 | Will not God''s own Son now bless us? |
30362 | Wilt Thou Thy face, Lord, utterly Turn from me? |
30362 | Wilt Thou eternally repel, And show Thy goodness never? |
30362 | Wilt Thou give ever To me whatever My life is needing? |
30362 | Wilt Thou then grieve me, Gall to drink give me? |
30362 | Wilt thou do what is for thy good, And what thy God good seeth? |
30362 | Would I have life? |
30362 | dearest love, why was I born, If Thou my soul forsakest? |
30362 | fairest one, what faileth me In Thy great love, of blessing? |
30362 | from hour to hour But what Thyself art giving? |
30362 | is this magnificence? |
30362 | my work then bless; Is it of man? |
30362 | now turn Thine eyes away From paths where I have gone astray; Of my ill ways what thinkest Thou, That I''ve pursued from youth till now? |
30362 | to Thee we sing 37 In grateful songs your voices raise 238 In prayer your voices raise ye 45 Is God for me? |
30362 | what shall I do for Thee For all the good Thou doest me, Thus saving me and shielding? |
30362 | where art thou vanish''d? |
30362 | who dost Heav''n''s sceptre wield What is it that now makes our field, And everything that it doth bear, Such sad and ruin''d aspect wear? |
30362 | why permittest Thou my soul To sink in sore dejection? |
30362 | why should the thought of death With terror make me shiver? |
30362 | wilt Thou, Unmindful of me, leave me? |
30362 | wilt ne''er look on me In grace and in compassion? |
6713 | A few questions followed from Miss Macpherson,--''How can any one get into heaven?'' 6713 A little fellow has a burden on his mind, ending with,''Could I not stop here always?'' |
6713 | Among the hundreds are there not some failures, some exceptions? 6713 Are these children really_ street Arabs?_ If not, where do you find so many?" |
6713 | Are these children really_ street Arabs?_ If not, where do you find so many? |
6713 | Are you sure the children are really_ better off_ there? |
6713 | Do these departed workers regret one effort made for Jesus? 6713 How come the Canadian farmers to be willing to take these children?" |
6713 | In the first low women''s lodging- house, I found a poor misguided girl asking me,''How''s my little sister?'' 6713 Strength is small;""Without me ye can do nothing;""Is there not an appointed warfare( margin) to man upon earth?" |
6713 | Take this child and nurse it for Me? |
6713 | You will naturally ask, How far did the ice reach? 6713 ''Where''s father now?'' 6713 ''_ Do it unto Me_''? 6713 A little relief comes with the parish allowance; but many a morning those hungry voices ask? 6713 All in the same ship, all exposed to the same peril, and yet we are_ untouched,_ and what are we better than they? 6713 And now, who would bear this burden? 6713 And yet we felt the Saviour there, Right in our midst that day;Will you not love my little ones?" |
6713 | Are you using them for me?'' |
6713 | Are you working? |
6713 | Ask your hearts, Can this be true? |
6713 | B.--Who was he? |
6713 | Bring the lambs to Jesu''s fold? |
6713 | But now all is hushed in silence, They are lying in slumber deep: While I ask, in this solemn midnight,_ Where_ do the children sleep? |
6713 | But what about a text? |
6713 | But where are the children sleeping In these wretched streets around, Where sin, and want, and sorrow Their choicest haunt have found? |
6713 | But who shall make the picture real? |
6713 | Can I be of any service?'' |
6713 | Can we forget The meetings and the partings we have known? |
6713 | Christ hath many a homeless orphan, Is He saying this to you? |
6713 | Could such cases be sent away, or a deaf ear turned to the cry of these"young children asking bread, and no man giving it them?" |
6713 | Dare to let His children perish, Or in evil paths to stray? |
6713 | Does the night air make you shiver, As the stream sweeps coldly by? |
6713 | George Alien wishing to take the children; Mr. Eason:''I am praying for you, can I help by coming?'' |
6713 | How can 10 pounds be better spent? |
6713 | Indeed who can say where the blessing ends? |
6713 | May not the words of the letter quoted above be adopted with little alteration by every Christian labourer? |
6713 | Miss Macpherson adds:--"Who is the little girl asked for to become a daughter and sister? |
6713 | Miss Macpherson''s own words here follow:--"What is the cry from all ends of the earth? |
6713 | Now who was Bessie? |
6713 | Short your serving time will be; Are your talents idle lying? |
6713 | Sisters, shall we share the blessing? |
6713 | So I asked the little maiden,"Annie, Jesus cares for you-- If we saw Him now beside us, Can you think what He would do?" |
6713 | So we know Thou art here, dear Master, Thy form we can almost see; Do we tear Thy sad voice saying,"Ye did it not to Me?" |
6713 | Speaking of the religious character of the work, he said,''I asked him who had taught him so much of Jesus? |
6713 | Surely it was the Lord''s doing that for the_ first_ time she had brought one written in French; and it was indeed appropriate? |
6713 | There thick are the homespun blankets, And the buffalo robes are warm; Then why should these children shiver Out here in the winter storm? |
6713 | Thus was fulfilled that promise so precious to all seed- sowers? |
6713 | We can only bow low before our loving Father with''What can I render unto the Lord for all His benefits towards me?''.. |
6713 | We found this new name had required thought, and when saying''Buzhu?'' |
6713 | Were matters sometimes strained? |

6713 | Where in all England could we have found, in a few weeks, hearts and homes for forty adoptions? |
6713 | Who can read the following without praise to the Giver of every good and perfect gift? |
6713 | Why wait till of hope bereft For that fair young girl the river Be the only refuge left? |
6713 | Why wait till the prison claims them? |
6713 | Why was I spared? |
6713 | Will not the echo of it, coming in this form, cause some, not in imagination merely, but in reality, to"come and see?" |
6713 | Will you climb this broken staircase, And glance through this shattered door; Oh, can there be children sleeping On that filthy and crowded floor? |
6713 | Will you dare to say Him nay? |
6713 | _ Mother, is this the day for bread?_''Hear in fancy your loved and cherished little ones asking this, and you will feel for that mother''s heart. |
6713 | could the veil be lifted for a brief moment and the dull ears quickened to catch the pleading accents of the blessed lord? |
6713 | did little jars arise and a shadow now and then gather on the faces of the strangers because their own mother was not? |

39022 | I am Joseph, do ye not know me? 39022 What do you think should have been said here?" |
39022 | What seekest thou? |
39022 | What would you do to make the part better? |
39022 | Where can they improve it? |
39022 | Why? |
39022 | 2.--A scene from_ David and Goliath_]_ Goliath_[_ apart from the king and soldiers_]: Why are ye come out to gather your armies to battle? |
39022 | All take hold of him and push him into the pit._]_ Tenth Brother:_ But what shall we tell our father? |
39022 | Am I not a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? |
39022 | Am I not a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? |
39022 | And Judah came to Joseph and fell on the ground and said,"What shall we say unto my lord? |
39022 | And have you returned bringing with you your youngest brother? |
39022 | And his father said unto him,"What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? |
39022 | And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and he said,"Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the spirit of God is? |
39022 | And with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? |
39022 | Are ye certain that she understood the meaning of my command? |
39022 | Art thou able to get on this beast of mine? |
39022 | Butler, who is this boy that interpreted thy dream? |
39022 | Can he forgive us? |
39022 | Can not our father trust the flocks to our hands without sending this Joseph to spy on us? |
39022 | Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the spirit of God is? |
39022 | Canst thou not take me to the Queen? |
39022 | Did I not command that every Hebrew boy should be killed? |
39022 | Dost thou think that thou art mightier than I, whom the King hath set above all the princes of the land? |
39022 | Esther, thou must save thy people and thyself? |
39022 | For who is this Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God? |
39022 | Hast thou been hurt, my friend? |
39022 | Hast thou not everything at home? |
39022 | Hath aught happened to the flocks? |
39022 | Hath aught happened to thee? |
39022 | Have we no man among us with the strength or boldness to fight this giant? |
39022 | He said to Joseph,"Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? |
39022 | He tears his clothes when he finds that_ JOSEPH_ is not there._]_ Reuben:_ The child is not, and I, whither shall I go? |
39022 | How can we save our baby? |
39022 | How cometh it that thou art here? |
39022 | How didst thou know of his plan? |
39022 | I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? |
39022 | Is all well with him? |
39022 | Is he not a wonderful boy? |
39022 | Is he yet alive? |
39022 | Is he yet alive?" |
39022 | Is my father yet alive?" |
39022 | Is there something here? |
39022 | Merchants enter._]_ Tenth Brother:_ What will ye give us for this lad? |
39022 | My little daughter, will you stay and watch and bring me word quickly if anything happens? |
39022 | Now, is there one among you who can tell me the meaning of these dreams, for my spirit is troubled because of them? |
39022 | Oh, do you not see that I am Joseph that speak unto you?" |
39022 | One little boy made the remark,"We keep telling the same things over; why ca n''t we leave out that second scene? |
39022 | One morning Joseph found them both very sad and he said unto them,"Wherefore look ye so sadly today?" |
39022 | Or shall he have dominion over us? |
39022 | Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee?" |
39022 | Shall he indeed reign over us? |
39022 | Shall his mother and father and eleven brethren indeed come to bow down themselves to him? |
39022 | The Hebrew people? |
39022 | The brothers are dividing out the money._]_ Gad:_ The lad is gone with the merchants, but what excuse shall we make unto our father? |
39022 | The leader raises such questions as,"Which parts did these children do best?" |
39022 | The soldiers seem disturbed and frightened._]_ David:_ What meaneth this? |
39022 | The_ ELDER SON_ calls to him._]_ Elder Son:_ I hear music and dancing in the house; what do these things mean? |
39022 | Then Joseph lifted up his eyes and saw Benjamin, his mother''s youngest son, and said,"Is this your younger brother of whom ye spake unto me?" |
39022 | Then Joseph said,"Do not interpretations belong to God? |
39022 | Then Joseph was greatly moved and said unto them,"Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? |
39022 | Then Judah said,"Why do we slay our brother and conceal his blood? |
39022 | Then his brothers said to him,"Shalt thou indeed reign over us? |
39022 | They bow low._]_ King:_ Rise; what is thy message? |
39022 | What can be the matter? |
39022 | What can be the meaning of this? |
39022 | What can we do? |
39022 | What is thy business? |
39022 | What shall I do? |
39022 | What troubleth you? |
39022 | What wilt thou do? |
39022 | When he saw that Joseph was not there, he rent his clothes, and ran after the others, crying,"The child is not, and I, whither shall I go?" |
39022 | Where art thou? |
39022 | Where did you get the boy? |
39022 | Where is the Queen? |
39022 | Where is thy wife? |
39022 | Wherefore didst thou pray to thy God when thou knewest of my decree? |
39022 | Whither shall I go? |
39022 | Who is this and where is he that dareth in his heart to do this thing to thy people? |
39022 | Why should he make merry over my brother who has wasted his living? |
39022 | Will you bathe here? |
39022 | Will you not let him be brought here? |
39022 | Wilt thou give me any task to do that I may make enough to keep me alive? |
39022 | [ ESTHER_ shows great distress._]_ Esther:_ Oh, what shall I do? |
39022 | [ HAMAN_ enters; they seat themselves, and the feast is served._]_ King:_ Haman, what shall be done unto the man whom the King delighteth to honor? |
39022 | [ KINSMAN_ sits down._]_ Kinsman:_ What wilt thou, Cousin? |
39022 | [ MIRIAM_ runs out._]_ Miriam:_ Lady, would you like a nurse for that baby? |
39022 | [ REUBEN_ goes away._][ JOSEPH_ runs up._ GAD_ lays one hand roughly on his shoulder._]_ Gad:_ How comes it that thou art here? |
39022 | [_ A baby''s cry is heard._]_ Princess:_ What is it I hear? |
39022 | [_ All the princes and the_ KING_ show surprise and anger._]_ King:_ Refused to obey me? |
39022 | [_ Brothers bind_ JOSEPH_ and cast him into the pit._]_ Joseph:_ What have I done to deserve this? |
39022 | [_ Enter servant._]_ Jacob:_ What didst thou see? |
39022 | [_ He holds out the golden scepter._] What is the request that has brought thee here? |
39022 | [_ He turns to citizens._] A piece of land is about to be sold; will ten citizens witness this deed? |
39022 | [_ Men stand up._]_ Wise Men:_ What is thy dream, O King? |
39022 | [_ Several citizens stand in groups, talking._ BOAZ_ enters._]_ Boaz_[_ speaks to one of the group_]: Hast thou seen my cousin pass this way? |
39022 | [_ She turns and goes out._]_ King:_ Hearest thou, Haman? |
39022 | [_ The ten brothers are sitting and lounging on the ground, eating bread._]_ Reuben:_ Shall we stay longer in this place? |
39022 | [_ The_ FATHER_ comes out._]_ Father:_ My son, wilt thou come unto the feast? |
39022 | [_ The_ HEAD REAPER_ bows low and goes back among the reapers._]_ Boaz_[_ to_ RUTH]: Hearest thou not, my daughter? |
39022 | [_ They both pick bulrushes and the mother weaves the basket._]_ Mother:_ How can I leave him here alone? |
39022 | [_ They bow lower._]_ King:_ What meaneth this? |
39022 | [_ They sit down._][_ To_ KINSMAN]: Dost thou remember Naomi, our kinswoman, who went with her husband and two sons to the land of Moab? |
39022 | [_ To the brothers:_] Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? |
39022 | [_ To_ ELDER SON]: And dost thou intend to take thy living also, and leave thy father? |
39022 | [_ To_ MORDECAI]: What art thou here for? |
39022 | [_ To_ MORDECAI]: Why dost thou break the King''s commandment? |
39022 | _ Boaz:_ Whose damsel is this that gathereth grain after the reapers? |
39022 | _ Chief Adviser:_ What more can we do than we have already done? |
39022 | _ Dan:_ What is this dream which he has dreamed? |
39022 | _ David:_ What have I now done? |
39022 | _ David:_ Who is this Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God? |
39022 | _ Esther:_ Mordecai, my uncle, why art thou here? |
39022 | _ Father:_ My son, why is it that thou desirest this? |
39022 | _ First Brother:_ Have ye seen this Philistine who is come up, this giant who has defied the armies of the living God? |
39022 | _ First Brother_[_ showing anger against_ DAVID]: Why camest thou hither? |
39022 | _ Goliath:_ Am I a dog that thou comest to me with staves? |
39022 | _ Goliath:_ Why are ye come out to gather your armies to battle? |
39022 | _ Haman:_ What shall we do to Queen Vashti according to the law, because she hath not performed the commandment of King Ahasuerus? |
39022 | _ Haman_[_ aside_]: Whom would the King like to honor more than myself? |
39022 | _ Haman_[_ pointing to_ MORDECAI]: Who is this man who doth not bow the knee to me? |
39022 | _ Joseph:_ And is this your younger brother of whom ye spake unto me? |
39022 | _ Joseph:_ What have I done to deserve this? |
39022 | _ Judah:_ Oh, why should we go back? |
39022 | _ Judah:_ What doth it profit if we slay our brother and conceal his blood? |
39022 | _ King:_ Did Haman do this deed? |
39022 | _ King:_ Esther, hast thou dared to come before my presence when I have not called thee? |
39022 | _ King:_ Speak, butler, what wouldst thou say? |
39022 | _ King:_ Speak, my Princess; do I not always grant what you ask? |
39022 | _ King:_ Thy people? |
39022 | _ King:_ What thinkest thou, Haman, my chief counselor? |
39022 | _ King:_ Why hast thou disobeyed my law, Daniel? |
39022 | _ King:_ Why was he hidden? |
39022 | _ King_[_ takes_ ESTHER''S_ hand_]: What is thy name, fair maid? |
39022 | _ King_[_ with anger_]: Who is this man that breaketh my laws? |
39022 | _ Levi:_ Why should he come to us? |
39022 | _ Mother:_ Where shall we take him? |
39022 | _ Pharaoh_[_ angrily_]: Are ye called the wise men of Egypt, and yet are ye not able to interpret a dream? |
39022 | _ Princess:_ A nurse for him? |
39022 | _ Princess:_ Will you take good care of this baby for me until he becomes a youth? |
39022 | _ Reuben:_ Can it be he? |
39022 | _ Ruth_[_ bows to the ground_]: Why have I found such favor in thine eyes, seeing that I am a stranger in the land? |
39022 | _ Sarah:_ Can it be that these tidings are true? |
39022 | _ Second Brother:_ Who has seen him? |
39022 | _ Second Prince:_ What shall we do? |
39022 | _ Second Servant_[_ laughing scornfully_]: Thinkest thou that the Queen will see thee? |
39022 | _ Simeon:_ From what country? |
39022 | _ Simeon:_ What shall we do? |
39022 | _ Soldier_[_ walks up to_ DAVID]: Have ye seen this man who is come up? |
39022 | _ Third Brother:_ What news dost thou bring of our father? |
39022 | or how shall we clear ourselves? |
39022 | or shalt thou have power over us?" |
11693 | But how can they believe if they have not heard? 11693 Come, Pharisees, tell us what you have against the Son of God, What do you think of Christ?" |
11693 | Come, tell us, Judas, what think ye of Christ? 11693 Pilate, this man was brought before you; you examined Him; you talked with Him face to face; what think you of Christ?" |
11693 | Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
11693 | Why, then,He says,"do you accuse Me of blasphemy because I claim divinity?" |
11693 | Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business? |
11693 | ABBOTT BORN IN 1835 THE DIVINITY IN HUMANITY_ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? |
11693 | All fancy, all imaginings? |
11693 | And altho all these years have rolled away, this question comes up, addresst to each of us, to- day,"What think ye of Christ?" |
11693 | And have you not fancied that you heard the harp of God playing in heaven? |
11693 | And how can they hear without a preacher? |
11693 | And how can they preach except they be sent?" |
11693 | And is not this included in His meaning when He says:"I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it abundantly"? |
11693 | And shall not you who are here to- day thank God that such a man was, tho for so brief a space, your bishop? |
11693 | And then Saul asks,"Who art thou, Lord?" |
11693 | And what is the mission of the Christian Church? |
11693 | And when you turn to the moral law, and when you ask yourself,"How can I learn to be athirst for God?" |
11693 | And why should not people make up their minds about the Lord Jesus Christ, and take their stand for or against Him? |
11693 | And why? |
11693 | Are you sure you could? |
11693 | But then, if you speak the truth, you say,"And in the end what am I? |
11693 | But what of that? |
11693 | But will this rhapsody bear thinking about? |
11693 | By that sin fell the angels: how can man, then, The image of his Maker, hope to win by''t?" |
11693 | Can anything be more humble? |
11693 | Can you say,"Tho he slay me, yet will I trust in him"? |
11693 | Canst thou not see some sweet hill Mizar? |
11693 | Canst thou not think of some blest hour when the Lord met with thee at Hermon? |
11693 | Certainly it is to know God''s guidance in law; but what is law? |
11693 | Could the muster- roll of this great army be called, and could they come up from the dead, what eye could endure the reeking, festering putrefaction? |
11693 | Could you say that? |
11693 | Did He leave heaven and come down to this world for a purpose? |
11693 | Did I call him man the second? |
11693 | Did I call this house second? |
11693 | Did I not come to bless you? |
11693 | Do I address one whose regular work in life is to administer to this appetite? |
11693 | Do I say, then, that I am equal to Christ? |
11693 | Do I say, then, that Jesus Christ was a man like other men? |
11693 | Do n''t you know Him? |
11693 | Do we go forth to meet death"with dances and chants of fullest welcome"? |
11693 | Do you ask how it shall be done? |
11693 | Do you ask how that can be? |
11693 | Do you ask the question? |
11693 | Do you believe in the forgiveness of sins? |
11693 | Do you believe in the forgiveness of sins? |
11693 | Do you believe in the forgiveness of sins? |
11693 | Do you believe in the forgiveness of sins? |
11693 | Do you see how everything there is being desolated? |
11693 | Do you think it is right and noble to lift up your voice against such a Savior? |
11693 | Does He? |
11693 | Does death"lave us in a flood of bliss"? |
11693 | Does it not cock the highwayman''s pistol? |
11693 | Does it not jingle the burglar''s key? |
11693 | Does it not wave the incendiary''s torch? |
11693 | Does it not whet the assassin''s knife? |
11693 | Does"the body gratefully nestle close to death"? |
11693 | Elymas the sorcerer withstood him: how did our friend Paul treat him? |
11693 | For what did God come in Christ? |
11693 | For what is the position, dear friends, of the Christian Church? |
11693 | For what reason should our missionaries stand disputing with Brahmins? |
11693 | Go back, man; sing of that moment, and then thou wilt have a song in the night? |
11693 | Has He come with that great life of His to give a little and then stop? |
11693 | Has it not sent the physician reeling into the sick- room; and the minister with his tongue thick into the pulpit? |
11693 | Hast thou never been fetched from the den of lions? |
11693 | Hast thou never been on the Delectable Mountains? |
11693 | Hast thou never escaped the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear? |
11693 | Have I injured you in any way? |
11693 | Have they anything to say of Him? |
11693 | Have we a right to believe that man is more than he seems to be, as we can see him in the street to- day? |
11693 | Have we a right to build our institutions and fabrics on this belief? |
11693 | Have you never stood by the seaside at night, and heard the pebbles sing, and the waves chant God''s glories? |
11693 | Have you nothing more to bring against Him than this? |
11693 | He might have added,"What have I done to you? |
11693 | How can it come? |
11693 | How can you not? |
11693 | How many men are there who can rise above the feelings of partizanship, and demand that our officials shall be sober men? |
11693 | How much, Lord and Master? |
11693 | I am now at peace with God through faith, in our Lord Jesus Christ"? |
11693 | I should like to ask, Was He really the Son of God-- the great God- Man? |
11693 | I wonder whether you would sing very prettily, if there was a stake or two in Smithfield for all of you who dared to do it? |
11693 | If He bore the cross and died on it for me, ought I not to be willing to take it up for Him? |
11693 | If He had not, what would have become of us? |
11693 | If He laid down His life for us, is it not the least we can do to lay down ours for Him? |
11693 | If you think well of Him, why not speak well of Him and range yourselves on His side? |
11693 | In the anguish of his soul Job cried,"I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou Preserver of men?" |
11693 | Is death"delicate, lovely and soothing,""delicious,"coming to us with"serenades"? |
11693 | Is it a wonder the angels thought well of Him? |
11693 | Is it about the most fundamental of all facts-- the existence, and the nature, and the grace, and the government of Almighty God? |
11693 | Is not this the one thing needful? |
11693 | Is not this, fellow men, the right way to live? |
11693 | Is that enough? |
11693 | Is that enough? |
11693 | Is there not a more excellent way than this? |
11693 | Is your soul athirst for the highest? |

11693 | Monday night? |
11693 | My friend will you hear Him to- day? |
11693 | My friends, my people, would you be saved, saved from your sins, saved from yourselves, saved from the pride of life? |
11693 | Natural depravity? |
11693 | Nay, have not some of you in your own bodies felt the power of this habit? |
11693 | Need I tell you of it? |
11693 | Now, is there any ground or basis for this faith in man? |
11693 | Now, what is the spirit of Christ? |
11693 | Oh, do you not think He was a wonderful preacher? |
11693 | Oh, have we not reason to think well of Him? |
11693 | Oh, widow and orphans, oh, sorrowing and mourning, will you not thank God for Christ the comforter? |
11693 | Oh, will you gratify pleasure? |
11693 | Oh, will you stimulate activity, and will you leave me alone? |
11693 | On what grounds did you judge Him? |
11693 | Or are we to think of them as simply phantasmagoria hung up for the delectation of a passing moment? |
11693 | Or have you never risen from your couch, and thrown up the window of your chamber, and listened there? |
11693 | Or that I shall ever become equal to Christ? |
11693 | Perhaps you can hardly admit it; but where was your son last night? |
11693 | See how wonderfully the Word of God fits down upon this? |
11693 | Shall we not draw to this Prince of Life and take from Him the gift that He came to bring? |
11693 | Simply to show Himself? |
11693 | Suppose you ask a master in music,"How am I to produce the real result of stately sound?" |
11693 | Tell us, what think you of Christ?" |
11693 | Tell us; what did the witnesses say? |
11693 | The question for the world is,"What think ye of Christ?" |
11693 | The question is, who will hunt him down, and how shall we shoot him? |
11693 | The reason? |
11693 | The stars are not put out, are they? |
11693 | There are a great many of you that think Christian people are a very miserable set, do n''t you? |
11693 | Tuesday night? |
11693 | Was it merely the assertion of your confidence in the goodness of God irrespective of His holiness? |
11693 | Was it really to seek and to save? |
11693 | Was it simply the recognition of a universal amnesty for a world of rebels? |
11693 | Was it true, Peter? |
11693 | Wast thou never in straits before, and did He not deliver thee? |
11693 | Wast thou never poor before, and did He not supply thy wants? |
11693 | We will ask them, What think ye of Christ? |
11693 | Wednesday night? |
11693 | Well, what then? |
11693 | What Think Ye of Christ? |
11693 | What a story that is which he has given to us of a great soul-- faithful always in the greatest? |
11693 | What are you after you are cleansed? |
11693 | What are you doing here?" |
11693 | What bishop is there who may not wisely seek to be like him by drawing forever on those fires of the Holy Ghost that set his lips aflame? |
11693 | What did you mean by it? |
11693 | What do they think of Him there? |
11693 | What do we mean by thirsting for God? |
11693 | What do we need for the salvation of a prosperous life? |
11693 | What do you know exactly about infinity, or space, or time, or cause? |
11693 | What do you mean, you may say for a moment, by the thirst for God? |
11693 | What do you think of Him? |
11693 | What exactly was the thought in your heart as the words passed over your lips,"I believe in the forgiveness of sins"? |
11693 | What foul sprite turned the sweet rhythm of Robert Burns into a tuneless babble? |
11693 | What have you before you there? |
11693 | What heart could endure the groan of agony? |
11693 | What is it about which you are in such debate and doubt? |
11693 | What is it but the life into which they are led who take the yoke of this Master upon them and learn of Him? |
11693 | What is it but this? |
11693 | What is it, let me ask, that comes into clearer prominence as the Washington tragedy[1] is being investigated and scrutinized? |

11693 | What says Christ Himself? |
11693 | What shall the consecration be? |
11693 | What testimony was brought against Him?" |
11693 | What then is the pride of life which is bad, which"is not of the Father, but is of the world"? |
11693 | What then? |
11693 | What think you of Him?" |
11693 | What was it that silenced Sheridan, the English orator, and shattered the golden scepter with which he swayed parliaments and courts? |
11693 | What, then, are you going to do with your faith? |
11693 | Where was he Friday night? |
11693 | Where was he Thursday night? |
11693 | Who is this battered and bruised wretch that was picked up by the police and carried in drunk and foul and bleeding? |
11693 | Who, then, is Jesus Christ? |
11693 | Why do you treat Me thus, Saul?" |
11693 | Why is it good that you should do your best? |
11693 | Why not? |
11693 | Why should sorrow find perpetual remembrance in art? |
11693 | Why should they be wasting their time by attempting to refute first this dogma, and then another, of heathenism? |
11693 | Why, buried among your buildings, in the midst of this great, powerful, sinful city,--why has it a mission for eternity? |
11693 | Why, dear friends, why is it that these things do not satisfy? |
11693 | Why, let them lecture on; this is a free country; why should we follow them about? |
11693 | Why? |
11693 | Why? |
11693 | Why? |
11693 | Why? |
11693 | Will any man say to me, this beautiful flower with all its rich coloring is like this bulb? |
11693 | Will it? |
11693 | Will it? |
11693 | Will you not believe in Him? |
11693 | Will you not believe the testimony? |
11693 | Will you not believe this witness, this last of all, the Lord of hosts, the King of kings himself? |
11693 | Will you not live for Him? |
11693 | Will you not think well of such a Savior? |
11693 | Will you not trust in Him with all your heart and mind? |
11693 | Would that fill you with deep thoughts in Beethoven, or fire you into joy in Mendelssohn? |
11693 | Would that produce the chorus of Handel that made you almost rise and march in majesty? |
11693 | Would that produce"The Last Judgment"of Spohr, that made you dissolve in tears? |
11693 | Would you not like to bring back joy to your wife''s heart, and have your children come out to meet you with as much confidence as once they showed? |
11693 | Would you not like to rekindle the home- lights that long ago were extinguished? |
11693 | You doubted Him, Thomas? |
11693 | You think that you could stop? |
11693 | You want to know what His enemies thought of Him? |
11693 | You want to know what a heathen, thought? |
11693 | didst thou never have a sickness like that which thou art suffering now, and did He not raise thee up from that? |
11693 | hast thou buried thine own diary? |
11693 | what is He saying to you? |
11693 | who can deliver me from the body of this death?" |
20476 | Canst thou find out the Almighty? |
20476 | Is it such a fast that I have chosen? |
20476 | The Fathers, where are they? |
20476 | Whither shall I go from thy presence? |
20476 | Who shall abide in thy tabernacle? |
20476 | Why sayest thou-- my way is hid from the Lord? |
20476 | 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb? |
20476 | 1 And art thou with us, gracious Lord, To dissipate our fear? |
20476 | 1 And can my heart aspire so high, To say,"My Father,"God? |
20476 | 1 And is the gospel peace and love? |
20476 | 1 And is there, Lord, a rest, For weary souls designed, Where not a care shall stir the breast, Or sorrow entrance find? |
20476 | 1 As o''er the past my memory strays, Why heaves the secret sigh? |
20476 | 1 Bereft of all, when hopeless care Would sink us to the tomb, O what can save us from despair? |
20476 | 1 Bound upon the accursed tree, Faint and bleeding, who is he? |
20476 | 1 Brother, hast thou wandered far From thy father''s happy home? |
20476 | 1 Can creatures to perfection find Th''eternal, uncreated Mind? |
20476 | 1 Father of all, omniscient Mind, Thy wisdom who can comprehend? |
20476 | 1 Feeble, helpless, how shall I Learn to live and learn to die? |
20476 | 1 Friend after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend? |
20476 | 1 God is my strong salvation; What foe have I to fear? |
20476 | 1 God is our refuge and defence, In trouble our unfailing aid; Secure in his omnipotence, What foe can make our soul afraid? |
20476 | 1 How shall I praise th''eternal God, That infinite Unknown? |
20476 | 1 How shall the young secure their hearts, And guard their lives, from sin? |
20476 | 1 Is there a lone and dreary hour, When worldly pleasures lose their power? |
20476 | 1 Is there ambition in my heart? |
20476 | 1 Lord, must we die? |
20476 | 1 Lord, we come before thee now; At thy feet we humbly bow; O, do not our suit disdain; Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain? |
20476 | 1 Lord, who''s the happy man, that may To thy blest courts repair, Not, stranger- like, to visit them, But to inhabit there? |
20476 | 1 My God, thy service well demands The remnant of my days; Why was this fleeting breath renewed, But to renew thy praise? |
20476 | 1 Say, why should friendship grieve for those Who safe arrive on Canaan''s shore? |
20476 | 1 The evils that beset our path, Who can prevent or cure? |
20476 | 1 Were not the sinful Mary''s tears An offering worthy heaven, When, o''er the faults of former years, She wept, and was forgiven? |
20476 | 1 What if the little rain should say, So small a drop as I Can ne''er refresh these thirsty fields, I''ll tarry in the sky? |
20476 | 1 What shall we render, bounteous Lord, For all the grace we see? |
20476 | 1 When God descends with men to dwell, And all creation makes anew, What tongue can half the wonders tell? |
20476 | 1 When shall the voice of singing Flow joyfully along? |
20476 | 1 When, as returns this solemn day, Man comes to meet his Maker, God, What rites, what honors shall he pay? |
20476 | 1 Where shall the child of sorrow find A place for calm repose? |
20476 | 1 Where shall we go to seek and find A habitation for our God? |
20476 | 1 Who is thy neighbor? |
20476 | 1 Who shall a temple build for him, Who fills the heaven of heavens alone? |
20476 | 1 Who shall towards thy chosen seat Turn, O Lord, his favored feet? |
20476 | 1 Why do we mourn departed friends, Or shake at death''s alarms? |
20476 | 1 Why weep for those, frail child of woe, Who''ve fled and left thee mourning here? |
20476 | 1 Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad? |
20476 | 1"Is this a fast for me?" |
20476 | 1''T is a point I long to know,-- Oft it causes anxious thought,-- Do I love the Lord, or no? |
20476 | 2 And didst thou bleed?--for sinners bleed? |
20476 | 2 And have we heard the word with joy? |
20476 | 2 Bound upon the accursed tree, Sad and dying, who is he? |
20476 | 2 But hast thou finally forsook, Forever cast thine own away? |
20476 | 2 Doth thy right hand, which formed the earth, And bears up all the skies, Stretch from on high its friendly aid, When dangers round us rise? |
20476 | 2 For whom, for whom, my heart, Were all these sorrows borne? |
20476 | 2 From marble domes and gilded spires, Shall curling clouds of incense rise? |
20476 | 2 God is a King of power unknown; Firm are the orders of his throne; If he resolve, who dare oppose, Or ask him why or what he does? |
20476 | 2 Hast thou wasted all the powers God for noble uses gave? |
20476 | 2 If I love, why am I thus? |
20476 | 2 Is it where sunny skies grow dim With smoke of heathen sacrifice? |
20476 | 2 Is there a blissful home, Where kindred minds shall meet, And live and love, nor ever roam From that serene retreat? |
20476 | 2 Is there a time of rushing grief, Which scorns the prospect of relief? |
20476 | 2 Is there no kind, no healing art, To soothe the anguish of the heart? |
20476 | 2 Lord, what offering shall we bring, At thine altars when we bow? |
20476 | 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? |
20476 | 2 O Thou, who didst allow Thy Son to suffer thus, Father, what more couldst thou have done Than thou hast done for us? |
20476 | 2 Our fathers, where are they, With all they called their own? |
20476 | 2 Say, does my heart unchanged remain, Or is it formed anew? |
20476 | 2 Tender are the rites we pay, Pastor, o''er thy sleeping clay; We, who late the welcome gave, Must we bear thee to thy grave? |
20476 | 2 The Saviour bids you speed; O, wherefore then delay? |
20476 | 2 The rush of numerous years bears down The most gigantic strength of man; And where is all his wisdom gone, When dust he turns to dust again? |
20476 | 2 Though high above all praise, Above all blessing high, Who would not fear his holy name, And laud and magnify? |
20476 | 2 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? |
20476 | 2 Thy hand has raised us from the dust; The breath of life thy Spirit gave; Where, but in thee, can mortals trust? |
20476 | 2 Thy neighbor? |
20476 | 2 We mourn for those who sin? |
20476 | 2 What friend have I in heaven or earth, What friend to trust but thee? |
20476 | 2 What if a shining beam of noon Should in its fountain stay, Because its feeble light alone Can not create a day? |
20476 | 2 What mortal hand shall dare to paint A semblance of thy glory, Lord? |
20476 | 2 What though my house be not with thee As nature could desire? |
20476 | 2 What voice shall bid the progress stay Of truth''s victorious car? |
20476 | 2 When disciplined by long distress, And led through paths of fear and woe, Say, dost thou love thy children less? |
20476 | 2 Who is my neighbor? |
20476 | 2 Who with another''s eye can read, Or worship by another''s creed? |
20476 | 2 Why art thou cast down, my soul? |
20476 | 2 Why hast thou cast our lot In the same age and place? |
20476 | 2 Why should I shrink at thy command, Whose love forbids my fears? |
20476 | 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? |
20476 | 2 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? |
20476 | 3 Amidst the various scenes of ills, Each blow some kind design fulfils; And can I murmur at my God, While love supreme directs the rod? |
20476 | 3 And could a single pious soul So rich a boon obtain? |
20476 | 3 And do you love him? |
20476 | 3 Bound upon the accursed tree, Dread and awful, who is he? |
20476 | 3 But will indeed Jehovah deign Here to abide, no transient guest? |
20476 | 3 Dear is the spot where Christians sleep, And sweet the strain which angels pour; O why should we in anguish weep? |
20476 | 3 Doth not each rain- drop help to form The cool, refreshing shower, And every ray of light to warm And beautify the flower? |
20476 | 3 If I pray, or hear, or read, Sin is mixed with all I do; You that love the Lord indeed, Tell me, is it thus with you? |
20476 | 3 In search of empty joys below, Why toil with unavailing strife? |
20476 | 3 Is a mighty famine now In thy heart and in thy soul? |
20476 | 3 Is there an hour of peace and joy, When hope is all my soul''s employ? |
20476 | 3 Nought doth the world afford, But toil must be the price; Wilt thou not, servant of the Lord, Then toil for paradise? |
20476 | 3 O, when shall these glad tidings spread The spacious earth around, Till every tribe and every soul Shall hear the joyful sound? |
20476 | 3 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand? |
20476 | 3 Say, shall we yield him in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine? |
20476 | 3 Shall man remain in silence, then, While all beneath the skies The chorus joins? |
20476 | 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? |
20476 | 3 The debtor humbly sues, Who would, but can not pay; And shall I lenity refuse, Who need it every day? |
20476 | 3 The graves of all his saints he blest, And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying Head? |
20476 | 3 Thy neighbor? |
20476 | 3 We are his people; we his care; Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name? |
20476 | 3 We mourn the sunshine of his smile, The tendrils of his love; Oh, was he loved too well the while Ere he was called above? |
20476 | 3 We yet survive, but who can say, Or through the year, or month, or day, We shall retain this vital breath, Secure from all the shafts of death? |
20476 | 3 What if the springs of life were broke, And flesh and heart should faint? |
20476 | 3 What tongue can tell the crown prepared The martyr''s brow to grace? |
20476 | 3 When in a weary land we tire, And our exhausted powers expire, With toil, and care, and heat oppressed, Where shall our languid spirits rest? |
20476 | 3 Who may share this great salvation? |
20476 | 3"Shall day like this have power To stay th''avenging hand, Efface transgression, or avert My judgments from the land? |
20476 | 4 And shall not wrath relent, Touched by that humble strain, My brother crying,"I repent, Nor will offend again?" |
20476 | 4 And was his mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay? |
20476 | 4 Are not the righteous dear to thee Now, as in ancient times? |
20476 | 4 Better than life itself thy love, Dearer than all beside to me; For whom have I in heaven above, Or what on earth, compared with thee? |
20476 | 4 But never rose within his breast, A trust so calm and deep as now; Shall not the weary find a rest? |
20476 | 4 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds? |
20476 | 4 Canst thou, my soul, these wonders trace, And not admire Jehovah''s grace? |
20476 | 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom;--Who has taken him away? |
20476 | 4 O, stay thy tears: the blest above Have hailed a spirit''s heavenly birth, And sung a song of joy and love; Then why should anguish reign on earth? |
20476 | 4 O, wondrous knowledge, deep and high; Where can a creature hide? |
20476 | 4 Our eyes have seen the steps of age Halt feebly towards the tomb; And yet shall earth our hearts engage, And dreams of days to come? |
20476 | 4 Such love can we unmoved survey? |
20476 | 4 The infinite Creator can Dwell in it; and may not man? |
20476 | 4 The terror and the charm repel, And powers of earth and powers of hell, The man of Calvary triumphed here;-- Why should his faithful followers fear? |
20476 | 4 Thee to perfection who can tell? |
20476 | 4 Then who would choose to walk abroad, While here such joys are given? |
20476 | 4 These are a portion of his ways: But who shall dare describe his face? |
20476 | 4 Thy neighbor? |
20476 | 4 When shall our happy eyes behold Thy people, fashioned in thy mould? |
20476 | 4 Who, then, deserves to be adored, But God, on whom my hopes depend? |
20476 | 4 Why seeks he not a home of rest? |
20476 | 4 With contrite hearts, Lord, we confess Our folly and unsteadfastness: When shall these hearts more stable be, Fixed by thy grace alone on thee? |
20476 | 4 Yet I mourn my stubborn will, Find my sin a grief and thrall; Should I grieve for what I feel, If I did not love at all? |
20476 | 5 And though thy wisdom takes away, Shall I arraign thy will? |
20476 | 5 Every note with wonder swell,-- And the Saviour''s triumph tell; Where, O death, is now thy sting? |
20476 | 5 How else, on soaring wing, Can hope bear high my prayer, Up to thy throne, my God, my King, To plead for pardon there? |
20476 | 5 How long, dear Saviour, O how long Shall this bright hour delay? |
20476 | 5 O, when, Almighty Lord, Shall these glad scenes arise, To verify thy word, And bless our wondering eyes? |
20476 | 5 Thy neighbor? |
20476 | A dwelling for th''Eternal Mind Among the sons of flesh and blood? |
20476 | Am I his, or am I not? |
20476 | And charity our kindred prove Derived from thee, O God of love? |
20476 | And could the sun behold the deed? |
20476 | And gems, and gold, and garlands deck The costly pomp of sacrifice? |
20476 | And have we felt its power? |
20476 | And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name? |
20476 | And why are so seldom the meetings of prayer? |
20476 | And why together brought To see each other''s face? |
20476 | But shall we only render The tribute of our words? |
20476 | Canst thou behold thy Prophet''s power, And not the God he served adore? |
20476 | Did e''er such love and sorrow meet? |
20476 | Discontent upon thy brow? |
20476 | Dost thou proclaim thyself our God, Our God forever near? |
20476 | For a rest so serene, for a covert so fair: Ah, why are the seasons of worship so few? |
20476 | Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? |
20476 | God, thy God, shall make thee whole: Why art thou disquieted? |
20476 | Great God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain? |
20476 | Have I renounced my sins, and left My refuges of lies? |
20476 | Here will the world''s Redeemer reign, And here the Holy Spirit rest? |
20476 | His shining robe, his joys unknown, Before thy glorious face? |
20476 | How may we meet our conflict yet In the dark, narrow way? |
20476 | How spread his Sovereign''s praise abroad? |
20476 | How, but through him that path who trod? |
20476 | Is it where northern meteors shine Or gilds the cross the southern main? |
20476 | Its highest point what eye can find, Or to its lowest depths descend? |
20476 | No answering voice is here, Say-- does the soldier sleep? |
20476 | O, may I call thee mine? |
20476 | On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? |
20476 | Or can the largest stretch of thought Measure and search his nature out? |
20476 | Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in her crimes? |
20476 | Or feel at death dismay? |
20476 | Or thorns compose so rich a crown? |
20476 | Or tremble at thy gracious hand That wipes away my tears? |
20476 | Or twilight sleeps on desert sands? |
20476 | Or where, in costly domes, the hymn Is taught on incense clouds to rise? |
20476 | Or whither from thy presence run? |
20476 | Or who, except the mighty Lord, Can with resistless power defend? |
20476 | Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great? |
20476 | Praise his name for life and light; Are the shadows lengthening o''er us? |
20476 | Said he, to those who with him trod,"Would ye be my disciples? |
20476 | Search, gracious God, and see; Or do I act a haughty part? |
20476 | Squandered life''s most golden hours? |
20476 | Tell me, my soul, can this be death? |
20476 | Though hosts encamp around me, Firm to the fight I stand; What terror can confound me With God at my right hand? |
20476 | To join with softest sympathy, And mix our friendly souls in thee? |
20476 | To rest? |
20476 | To thee, the uncreated Mind, What earthly altar shall we raise? |
20476 | What arm arrest the growing day, Or quench the solar star? |
20476 | What dissipate the gloom? |
20476 | What eye the dazzling glories view? |
20476 | What is Prayer? |
20476 | What is the rule by which I walk, The object I pursue? |
20476 | What is this absorbs me quite, Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirits, draws my breath? |
20476 | What is your Life? |
20476 | What mortal eloquence can raise His tribute of immortal praise? |
20476 | What radiant light dispels the gloom? |
20476 | What reckless soul, though stout and strong, Shall dare bring back the ancient wrong, Oppression''s guilty night prolong, And freedom''s morning bar? |
20476 | What words of heavenly birth Thrill deep our hearts again, And fall like dew- drops to the earth? |
20476 | When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace and thee? |
20476 | When shall these eyes thy heaven- built walls And pearly gates behold? |
20476 | Where are the dews that fed thee On Ethan''s barren shore? |
20476 | Where breaks the dawn o''er spicy lands? |
20476 | Where is God? |
20476 | Where is Heaven? |
20476 | Where shall I find Him, O my soul, Who yet is everywhere? |
20476 | Where thy terrors, vanquished king? |
20476 | Where, Lord, could I thy influence shun? |
20476 | Who can ascend his high abode, Or venture near his throne? |
20476 | Who can endure his light, or stand To hear the thunders of his hand? |
20476 | Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst t''assuage? |
20476 | Who his quiet shall molest? |
20476 | Who shall Zion''s hill ascend? |
20476 | Who shall at thine altar bend? |
20476 | Who shall exalt his glorious name, Fixed in his everlasting throne? |
20476 | Who shall lead thy child to thee? |
20476 | Who shall violate his rest? |
20476 | Who, O God, my guide shall be? |
20476 | Who, but our God, has power to save? |
20476 | Who, great God, a welcome guest, On thy holy mountain rest? |
20476 | Why did he feel that piercing smart, And meet that cruel scorn? |
20476 | Why on his offspring is conferred Of love so large a share? |
20476 | Why seeks he not a pillowed bed? |
20476 | Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour go? |
20476 | Why should I shrink at pain and woe? |
20476 | Why this dull and lifeless frame? |
20476 | Wilt thou not bid the murderers look On Him they pierced, and weep and pray? |
20476 | With thyself and God at war? |
20476 | Without a false disguise? |
20476 | and may these lips Pronounce a name so dear? |
20476 | and shall we ever live At this poor dying rate? |
20476 | and wilt thou condescend To be my Father and my Friend? |
20476 | canst thou repine? |
20476 | do you feel Your warm affection move? |
20476 | does its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell? |
20476 | from thy ways Who can tell how oft he strays? |
20476 | is day before us? |
20476 | still sleeps thy tuneful string?-- Still mute remains thy sullen tongue, And Zion''s song denies to sing? |
20476 | sweeps the line That marks thy kingdom''s holy reign? |
20476 | those chains, That clank on Freedom''s plains, By Christians wrought? |
20476 | what for thee, In a world like this, remains? |
20476 | what mean those holy voices, Sweetly sounding through the skies? |
20476 | what of the night?" |
20476 | where is thy sting? |
20476 | where is thy victory? |
20476 | where shall we find A temple suited to thy praise? |
20476 | whither would ye go? |
20476 | will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? |
20476 | with all thy care Thy true condition learn; What are thy hopes-- how sure, how fair, And what thy great concern? |
20428 | ''What doth hinder me to be baptized?'' 20428 And have you no blessing for me?" |
20428 | But,said I,"what brought you to believe in the propriety of baptizing your children?" |
20428 | But,said Mrs. Benson,"is there any resemblance between circumcision and baptism?" |
20428 | Can I fear,said she,"to leave my children in such hands? |
20428 | Can we not have some such meetings? |
20428 | Can we not sing a hymn? |
20428 | Did he? |
20428 | Do you know,said she to me,"that I am thinking of joining your church? |
20428 | Do you think, cousin Eunice, that the multitudes who came to John and the apostles to be baptized, brought changes of raiment with them? |
20428 | Does covenant mean that? |
20428 | Have we eight instances of the administration of the Lord''s Supper? 20428 How did it make you feel?" |
20428 | How should you like, Mrs. B.,said I,"to have your little boy become a sailor?" |
20428 | Is it necessary that the father should be left out? |
20428 | Janette,said I,"how do you like the thought of going off so far from us all?" |
20428 | Mr. M.,said Mrs. Kelly,"do you think that you and Mr. K. would ever think alike on this subject?" |
20428 | Mrs. Kelly,said I,"how do you suppose that nursing children ate the first passover?" |
20428 | O,said Mrs. P.,"is it possible that I live to see this day? |
20428 | Of what practical use was his so- called infant''church- membership,''in addition to his being, as we all hold, a child of the covenant? |
20428 | Ralph,said Mr. S.,"do you know who baptized you?" |
20428 | Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? |
20428 | Shall we ever forget this? |
20428 | So will I,said Mr. C."How good it is to be convinced, and to give up one''s own will; is it not?" |
20428 | Well, then,said I,"must it follow that children could not be circumcised because Abraham said to men,''Believe and be circumcised''? |
20428 | Well, what is it, my son? |
20428 | What do you say to them? |
20428 | What do you think,said I,"of the practice of having children baptized in the church on a week- day? |
20428 | What was he, then? |
20428 | What would you have named it,said my wife,"had it been a girl?" |
20428 | What? |
20428 | Why, sir, what you have just said,--engagement, promise? |
20428 | Why,it was said,"are infants baptized, if they need no change of nature?" |
20428 | Why,said Mrs. Ford,"if the coming in of Moses''dispensation did not abolish the arrangement with Abraham, why should its going out? |
20428 | Would you like to have the little one baptized here? |
20428 | & c."Are ye able to be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with?" |
20428 | ''Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? |
20428 | ''Believe, and be baptized;''how do you dispose of that, sir?" |
20428 | ''Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? |
20428 | A., Mr. Chairman, please to tell us why he feels obliged to call these children"_ members_ of the church?" |
20428 | A., and for my own sake, what objection there is to retaining the name,_ member_, in this connection? |
20428 | Adam and Eve knew better, at first, than to say,''So long as we love and obey God, of what use are these symbols?'' |
20428 | Am I correct in such views and feelings? |
20428 | And having Thee alone, what have I not? |
20428 | And will God in very deed dwell on earth? |
20428 | Are they dead and buried to sin when they are baptized? |
20428 | Are you not so afraid of Romanism, and of''sacramental grace,''that you go to an opposite extreme? |
20428 | As Mr. Benson said,"Who is willing to dispense with the wedding ceremony, except in cases where sadness and trouble seek concealment?" |
20428 | Assuming that the children are members of the church, they discuss the question, as the sermon has stated, Of what church are they members? |
20428 | B., what does all that prove? |
20428 | Benson._ But why did not Paul receive a revelation about it, as he did about the Lord''s Supper? |
20428 | But can men make too much of having a seal on a deed? |
20428 | But do you think, Mrs. B., that this is necessary? |
20428 | But is there no great, conspicuous symbol of these things,--no type, no rite? |
20428 | But people used to say to me,"Why not wait and let Janette be baptized when she is old enough to understand it?" |
20428 | But shall we, therefore, break our covenant? |
20428 | But what first made you think of baptizing your little boy? |
20428 | But where is the proof that he is? |
20428 | But why should God bestow his inestimable blessing on the father of the faithful, and take it away from the faithful themselves? |
20428 | But will you not think me older even than I claim to be, because I am so garrulous? |
20428 | But, pray, why should Abraham be intruded in connection with Christ, if he with his covenant is like a lapsed legacy, or a superseded act of Congress? |
20428 | Can anything be plainer than this? |
20428 | Can they make too much of having three witnesses to their wills? |
20428 | Could Christian love be more pure than this, or prayer more pleasing to God? |
20428 | D._ Is it possible? |
20428 | D._ Why, my dear sir, am I not every Sabbath telling how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures? |
20428 | Did any practise it who could have received it from the apostles, or have known those who did? |
20428 | Did he intimate that sanctification is effected by a piece of wood, with a transverse beam, used as a gibbet? |
20428 | Did they add,''This bridge is hereby appointed as the way of getting over the river''? |
20428 | Did you know, Mrs. Ford, that when you came in we were just entering Mrs. Benson''s son at college? |
20428 | Do I make each child feel that it has a work to do, and that it is its duty and happiness to do that work well?" |
20428 | Do I realize that I must meet each child at the judgment- seat, and hear from it what my influence over it has been as a mother? |
20428 | Do I realize that it is in my power to exert such an influence that Christ shall see in each the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied? |
20428 | Do I realize that my children will obey God much as they do me? |
20428 | Do I realize that the fulfilment of covenant promises is dependent on my fidelity? |
20428 | Do I realize that the most important book a child can and does read, is its parents''daily deportment and example? |
20428 | Do I realize the danger of retarding or hindering the work of the Holy Spirit, by evil habits, worldly pursuits, or companions? |
20428 | Do I realize what circumstances are educating my children;--my conversation, my pursuits, my likings, and dislikings? |
20428 | Do I, as an antidote to timidity, cultivate the fear of God and self- respect? |
20428 | Do I, by my conversation and actions, teach my children that character, and not wealth or connexions, constitutes respectability? |
20428 | Do my children feel they can do what they like, or that they must do what they are commanded? |
20428 | Do my children see in me a self- command which is the effect of principle? |
20428 | Do we not see that we are meddling with a divine prerogative, if we assume to act in such cases? |
20428 | Does it need any such"operation"for an immersed person to rise out of the water? |
20428 | Does it terminate at the age of twenty- one in the case of male children, and at eighteen in the case of females? |
20428 | Does not this prove that it was not generally believed? |
20428 | Does that destroy all the old public documents? |
20428 | Does your pastor pour water into the child''s face and eyes, and then begin the words of baptism? |
20428 | Everything has its memorial, its rite; are the children, is the parental relation, forgotten? |
20428 | For why is it necessary that the sponsors should incur danger? |
20428 | For, as Doddridge well observes,"What would have been done with the infants, or male children, of Christians?" |
20428 | Ford._ They said to me, also,"What right have you to do it, instead of letting her have the choice and privilege of doing it herself hereafter?" |
20428 | Ford?" |
20428 | From what, then, is he turned out by being cut off? |
20428 | Has God done anything, in this world, to mark his regard for that class of the human race constituting, thus far, the greater part of the redeemed? |
20428 | Has punishment been sufficiently private, and have I tried to affect the mind more than the body? |
20428 | Have I aimed to govern my children on the same principle and in the same spirit which God adopts in the government of his creatures? |
20428 | Have I aimed to secure the love and obedience of my children? |
20428 | Have I commended God to my children, and my children to God? |
20428 | Have I felt that a timid child is in great danger of being insincere? |
20428 | Have I granted to- day, from indulgence, what I denied yesterday from principle? |
20428 | Have I labored to convince my child that its true character is formed by its thoughts and affections? |
20428 | Have I punished the beginning of an evil habit? |
20428 | Have I realized that to train my children for usefulness and heaven is probably the chief duty God requires of me? |
20428 | Have I realized that, if I can not eradicate an evil habit, probably no one else can or will? |
20428 | Have I remembered that it is full time to make a child obey when it knows enough to disobey? |
20428 | Have I so prayed for my children as that my prayer produced an effect upon myself? |
20428 | Have I suffered the indulgence of an evil habit through sloth or discouragement? |
20428 | Have I yielded to importunity in altering a decision deliberately made? |
20428 | Have I, in my plans, my heart, and conduct, sought first for my children the kingdom of God? |
20428 | Have calmness and seriousness marked my looks, tones, and voice, when inflicting punishment? |
20428 | Have these resolutions been undertaken in the strength of Christ, remembering''I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me''? |
20428 | Have we any right to infer, in such an important matter? |
20428 | Have we eight cases of the change of the Christian Sabbath from the Jewish? |
20428 | He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? |
20428 | He would say to them,''Believe and be circumcised,''would he not? |
20428 | How can you call circumcision a Jewish ordinance, when the Bible so explicitly denies it to be of Jewish origin? |
20428 | How dare we change a day which God himself ordained from the beginning, until he makes the change as peremptory as the institution itself? |
20428 | How did cousin Bertha feel about the baptism after your little boy died? |
20428 | How far back to the times of the apostles can we trace it? |
20428 | How will that reasoning answer? |
20428 | How would it sound,"I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how am I straitened?" |
20428 | I should like to ask, who has deputed to any church the power to say when the divine forbearance with a child of the covenant has come to an end? |
20428 | I suspect that you would feel a good deal the morning he left you, would you not?" |
20428 | IS THERE ONLY ONE MODE OF BAPTISM? |
20428 | IS THERE ONLY ONE MODE OF BAPTISM? |
20428 | If Abraham and his covenant ceased with the Jewish people, how does the blessing of Abraham fully come upon us, the Gentiles? |
20428 | If God should to- night, Mrs. Ford, say to you,"I will be Janette''s God,"would you not send her away with a light heart? |
20428 | If so, what is it? |
20428 | If this be so, what is"the operation of God,"which is spoken of there? |
20428 | In case they grow up, and neglect to come with their parents to the Lord''s Supper, must they not be disciplined? |
20428 | In having all things, and not Thee, what have I? |
20428 | In the eleventh of Romans does not Paul say that Jews and Gentiles have one and the same''root''? |
20428 | In this arrangement and expectation do we not find the deep roots of infant baptism? |
20428 | Is it not so? |
20428 | Is it true? |
20428 | Is not baptism the initiating ordinance, as circumcision was? |
20428 | Is the deed good for anything without the seal? |
20428 | Is there not mercy for me, too? |
20428 | K._ But where is it enacted? |
20428 | K._ But where is the command to apply baptism to children? |
20428 | K._ Did Abraham or the Jews baptize children, Mr. M.? |
20428 | K._ Do you not think, Mr. M., that we shall all think alike about baptism in the millennium? |
20428 | K._ How is it with infants? |
20428 | Let me enjoy but Thee, what further crave I? |
20428 | M._ Are they generally ready to go? |
20428 | M._ Are you in favor of admitting people to our church who do not believe in infant baptism? |
20428 | M._ Are you not accustomed to rely much, in your scriptural argument for infant baptism, on the baptisms of households by the apostles? |
20428 | M._ Are you often called upon by persons who are troubled on the subject of baptism? |
20428 | M._ But ought we not to stir ourselves up with regard to parental duties? |
20428 | M._ Do you ever re- baptize? |
20428 | M._ Have you had no company this evening? |
20428 | M._ How does he make out eight cases of household baptism by the apostles? |
20428 | M._ Is not this stronger, if anything, than Origen''s testimony, being so much nearer the apostolic age? |
20428 | M._ Is the privilege of having God stand in a special relation to my child an Old Testament ordinance, in the same sense with ceremonial observances? |
20428 | M._ Well, sir, leaving the scripturalness of the ordinance out of question, what support does the practice get from church history? |
20428 | M._ Were they immersed in the clothes which they had on? |
20428 | M._ What did his friend say? |
20428 | M._ When Paul says,"I am crucified with Christ,"do you suppose that the idea of a cross was in his mind? |
20428 | M._ Where, my dear sir, is the command to discontinue that which was enjoined upon the founder of the race of believers for all time? |
20428 | M._ Why, how do you understand it? |
20428 | M._ You think well of the book of Psalms, I presume, as a help to prayer and pious feelings? |
20428 | May I add a leaf from my observation? |
20428 | May we not conclude that this is God''s most acceptable way of effecting the revival of religion from one period to another? |
20428 | Much more, who will undertake to divest him of things which he never had? |
20428 | Not having Thee, what have my labors got? |
20428 | Now, did it creep in; or did the apostles practise it? |
20428 | Now, if the initiatory rite of Christianity be used for the same purpose as that given to Abraham, why not confine it, as formerly, to males?" |
20428 | Now, is it allowable to depart from the original mode? |
20428 | Now, what is Origen''s testimony as to the fact, simply, of the apostolic usage with regard to infant baptism? |
20428 | Of what is a child of the covenant, allowing him to be, while a child, a member of the church,--of what is he in possession? |
20428 | One was,"Whether an infant might be baptized before it was eight days old?" |
20428 | Or, does it cease on the child''s leaving the parental roof for another place of residence? |
20428 | Or, on entering upon the married state? |
20428 | Or, upon the commission of some great act of outward transgression, shall we pronounce the covenant to be dissolved? |
20428 | R., what names would you substitute for_ members_ and_ membership_?" |
20428 | Shall I call this Romish, superstitious, fanatical? |
20428 | Shall I say, How can we, consistently with such practices among Protestants, say anything about the doctrine of penances? |
20428 | Shall the unworthy be promiscuously admitted to its privileges? |
20428 | Shall we deny it to the ordinances and seals of Heaven? |
20428 | So that, I said to my friends, I go to the Bible not to say,"Must I baptize my children?" |
20428 | Some say to us, What need is there of joining a church? |
20428 | Supposing that the covenant still remains, why do you take baptism for the seal of it? |
20428 | THE CHILDREN OF THE CHURCH.--ARE THEY MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH? |
20428 | The question, as stated by the chairman, was, Are the children of believers, in any sense, members of the church? |
20428 | Though we are saved wholly by grace, is there not something implied in"washing our robes, and making them white, in the blood of the Lamb?" |
20428 | Was it superstitious and Romish? |
20428 | Was my convenience, or the guilt of the child, the measure of its punishment? |
20428 | Was there a dry eye in the house? |
20428 | What authority do you show for using baptism in its place?" |
20428 | What do you understand by that covenant?" |
20428 | What else is there in Christianity, if we are to except baptism, in which modes are regarded or made essential? |
20428 | What need to have it done just then? |
20428 | What seal had your covenanting with God about your child? |
20428 | What they that choose their God do, who can tell? |
20428 | Where is it mothers learn their love? |
20428 | Who will declare even his prospect of their fulfilment to be terminated at any given time? |
20428 | Whom do you mean, sir? |
20428 | Why bring the child to baptism? |
20428 | Why comes he here, in connection with the Saviour, and tells me that if I am Christ''s, then am I his, Abraham''s, seed? |
20428 | Why do they hardly feel that they have prayed if company, or a bedfellow, on a journey, keeps them from using oral prayer? |
20428 | Why do they have special seasons for retirement, if they walk with God? |
20428 | Why do you think, and how do you show, that baptism must now be used as God''s sign and seal of his covenant with believers for their children? |
20428 | Why is it not enough for God to make a promise, and you make one, and let it be without any sign or seal?" |
20428 | Why may I not be a Christian by myself? |
20428 | Why should their innocent age make haste to the forgiveness of sins? |
20428 | Why was I allowed to see this day, and enjoy this?" |
20428 | Will the adorable Trinity be present at such a scene as this? |
20428 | Will they be wiser than God? |
20428 | You remember the answer in the catechism to the question,"How do the sacraments become effectual means of salvation?" |
20428 | [ Footnote 3:"Can we blame the founders of the Massachusetts Colony for banishing him from their jurisdiction? |
20428 | _ Mother._ Was he at home? |
20428 | _ Mother._ What answer can be made to this? |
20428 | _ Mother._ What ground does he take? |
20428 | _ Pastor._ Did that make the thing any more authoritative with us than the original appointment? |
20428 | _ Pastor._ Did the covenant have any seal? |
20428 | _ Stranger._ On what ground, sir? |
20428 | and, if not, what relation to the church do they sustain? |
20428 | but,"Am I forbidden to baptize them?" |
20428 | said I,"or what will he be to you, from this time?" |
29427 | And Leela''s? |
29427 | But afterwards? 29427 But are you going to play with it?" |
29427 | But, Chellalu, where did you get them? |
29427 | But, Chellalu, where did you get them? |
29427 | But, Yosépu, what is wrong? |
29427 | Ca n''t you do something to improve her expression? |
29427 | Did you not know it was my sister''s child; and I, her only sister, having no child of my own, have adopted this one as my own? 29427 Did you think I would have done it?"] |
29427 | Do all your children have their food every two hours? |
29427 | Do n''t you go? |
29427 | Do you go to school now? |
29427 | Do you know where she is now? |
29427 | Do you like the kindergarten? |
29427 | Do you want anything, Yosépu? |
29427 | Has she gone far? 29427 Have we been influenced?" |
29427 | Have you ever seen the god to whom your little ones would have been given? |
29427 | Have you no women relations? |
29427 | How could I teach others to be unworldly if I myself did what to them would appear worldly- minded? |
29427 | How do you choose them? |
29427 | How do you know the time? |
29427 | I suppose you do n''t know what all these are? |
29427 | If we could help you,she was asked,"would you like to come to us?" |
29427 | If you had to describe Chellalu, how would you do it? |
29427 | Is it right to give this little child to a life like that? |
29427 | Is she not my child? 29427 May you do that?" |
29427 | My sun has set; but who am I, that I should complain or assault the decrees of Providence? 29427 Never, never?" |
29427 | Numerous are my womenfolk, but they are all cumbered with children: how can they help me? |
29427 | Only pray? |
29427 | To what purpose is this waste? |
29427 | Well, Yosépu, what is it? |
29427 | Well, Yosépu? |
29427 | Well, then, do n''t you like the kindergarten? |
29427 | What can an infant know about such matters? 29427 What care I for your Collector? |

29427 | What know I? 29427 What sort of medicine, Amma?" |
29427 | What''s the matter? |
29427 | Whatever is he doing with that black box?] |
29427 | Where is he, Seela? |
29427 | Where is the babe? 29427 Who did it all?" |
29427 | Who for? |
29427 | Who is in the nursery now? |
29427 | Why do n''t you let Vineetha ask you what it is? |
29427 | Why does your child sleep with Leela''s? |
29427 | Why leave spaces with dotted lines? 29427 Why not?" |
29427 | ''What work does your husband do?'' |
29427 | Am I not a_ Merciful_ Servant?" |
29427 | And Socrates sums the argument thus:"To be brief; is it not the same in everything?" |
29427 | And the god to whom these young child- lives are dedicated? |
29427 | And yet surely the work of saving these little children had been given to us to do? |
29427 | And yet why should we shrink from it when the purpose which compels is the saving of the children? |
29427 | Are there any prayers like the old psalms in their intense sincerity? |
29427 | Are there not evenings when our toys have no power to please or soothe? |
29427 | Are you wiser than your fathers, that their religion is not good enough for you?" |
29427 | As we follow the Gleam wherever it leads, may we count upon the upholding of those for whom we have written-- the lovers of little children? |
29427 | Besides, to be very practical, what is the use of warning if we may only warn? |
29427 | But how could we refuse the little children? |
29427 | But must we wait till India leads the way? |
29427 | But must we wait until it comes? |
29427 | But supposing she dared it all, and an angel were sent to guide her, have we any right to protect her? |
29427 | But take her up in your arms, and she buries her curls in your neck, and coos her apologies( or is it forgiveness?) |
29427 | But the Lord on high is mightier than a million million devils, and what are five to Him? |
29427 | But they smiled at me and said:''Did you ever hear of such a thing as you ask in foolishness? |

29427 | Could any two scenes present a more moving contrast? |
29427 | Could love do more? |
29427 | Could you overtake her?" |
29427 | DID YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE IT?" |
29427 | Did not Calvary cost? |
29427 | Did we wait until India herself asked for the abolition of suttee? |
29427 | Do you think your Lord Jesus can deliver you from our hand, or prevent us from doing as we choose with you? |
29427 | Does this sound intolerant and narrow, as if no good existed outside our own little pale? |
29427 | FAILURES? |
29427 | Glory of mountain and waterfall, charm and delight of rainbow in spray; but what lies behind the coloured veil? |
29427 | Had she not told her to make a salaam, and had not the little hand gone up in serious salute? |
29427 | Has our story wandered sometimes into sorrowful ways? |
29427 | Hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
29427 | He sent it to me with a sorrowful word written across it,"Result? |
29427 | How can I serve the god, being blind?" |
29427 | How can he find me if I choose to lose myself? |
29427 | How can you prove anything against me?" |
29427 | How could anything that was wrong be sanctioned by the gods? |
29427 | How could she marry her properly? |
29427 | How did you come to us, you dear? |
29427 | How do the Temple women get them in the first instance? |
29427 | How else could it be continued?" |
29427 | How far out of its selfish track does it move the life into ways of sacrifice? |
29427 | How will she hold out against it? |
29427 | I suggest; but Pyârie continues as before:"What is it? |
29427 | If either forgets it, the other corrects her by remarking inquiringly,"Tankou?" |
29427 | If there is distance and want of sympathy between those who are called to be workers together with the great Master, is not something wrong? |
29427 | Is it at the top or at the bottom?" |
29427 | Is it fair to call her by a name which belongs by right to one who is different, in that her life is self- chosen? |
29427 | Is it the custom to give up a child, once it is ours?''" |
29427 | Is there not provision for the impossible? |
29427 | It is the will of our Father that this little one should perish"? |
29427 | It is worse with that little girl to- day; there is less inward revolt; and to- morrow how will it be with her? |
29427 | Kindergarten room want flowers? |
29427 | Must it not do good in the end, however agitating the immediate result may appear? |
29427 | Naughty? |
29427 | O God, wherefore art Thou absent from us for so long? |
29427 | Oh, lovely lily, Who did it all? |
29427 | Oh, need we ever fear? |
29427 | One has a picture- book, and the other is looking eagerly as she turns the pages and questions:"What is it? |
29427 | Ought this interpretation of the Indian Penal Code to be possible? |
29427 | Perhaps we have forgotten the tune, and she starts it:-- Oh, lovely lily, Growing in our garden, Who made a dress so fair For you to wear? |
29427 | Rather, could we forget them if we would, and dare we hide away the knowledge lest somewhere someone should be hurt? |
29427 | Said one lying comfortably on her back with her two hands clasped behind her head:"Who takes care of us at night when we all go to sleep?" |
29427 | Shall we try to put them on again?" |
29427 | Should I not have a daughter to wait upon me and succeed me? |
29427 | Should we bury them away lest they hurt some sensitive soul? |
29427 | Should we forget these things? |
29427 | Should we have done it? |
29427 | So said the Brahman who only a moment before had led me into the mystic land, deep within which he loves to dwell: what does the training mean? |
29427 | So the question was often asked:"But do the children really exist?" |
29427 | So why should we give them to you?''" |
29427 | Sometimes a sudden light falls on the way, and we look up and still it shines: and what can we do but"follow the Gleam"? |
29427 | Surely such action would be Imperially right; and can a thing right in itself and carried out with a wise earnestness, ever eventually do harm? |
29427 | TO WHAT PURPOSE? |
29427 | The children had appeared to be sincerely sorry when I spoke to them, and if so, why proceed to extremities? |
29427 | The secret wouldst thou know To touch the heart or fire the blood at will? |
29427 | The whole situation bristles with difficulties; but are difficulties an argument for doing nothing? |
29427 | Then by way of emphasis the story is attempted in English:"Very good? |
29427 | There was pose certainly, but where was the smile? |
29427 | There was pose, certainly, but where was the smile?" |
29427 | They give the baby a chance: should we do less? |
29427 | WHAT IF SHE MISSES HER CHANCE? |
29427 | Was her mother not my wife? |
29427 | Was it strange that the question came again to ourselves, and to others too? |
29427 | Was it waste? |
29427 | Was the work going to grow much more? |
29427 | Was there anything to be done besides praying? |
29427 | We do not look for gratitude in this work; who does? |
29427 | We feel afresh the force of the question:"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" |
29427 | We sometimes think we shall one night be heard talking in our sleep, and the burden of our conversation will be always--"What is it? |
29427 | What can I do?" |
29427 | What care I? |
29427 | What colour is it? |
29427 | What comes afterwards?" |
29427 | What hinders you doing the same to the elder?" |
29427 | What if it cost? |
29427 | What if it seem impossible to face all that surrender may mean? |
29427 | What if she misses her chance? |
29427 | What is it?" |
29427 | What is it?" |
29427 | What may I say to the Harebell supposing she asks me this question? |
29427 | What may we say to her? |
29427 | What of that girl by the fireside? |
29427 | What of the girl by the fireside crushing down the sense of an Under- call that will not let her rest? |
29427 | What of the woman, strong and keen, with pent- up energies waiting for she knows not what? |
29427 | What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits towards me? |
29427 | What shape is it? |
29427 | What shape is it? |
29427 | What symbols are carved into the cliff? |
29427 | When will such a worker come? |
29427 | Where is it, Accal? |
29427 | Where is she to- day? |
29427 | Who has the right to come between this child of mine and me her father?" |
29427 | Who made it?" |
29427 | Who made it?" |
29427 | Who made you straight and tall To give pleasure to us all? |
29427 | Who that has known it will doubt it? |
29427 | Who were they that they should withstand it? |
29427 | Who would?" |
29427 | Whose name and power do they represent? |
29427 | Why art thou so heavy, O my soul, and why art thou disquieted within me? |
29427 | Why did it follow her everywhere? |
29427 | Why did we overcrowd? |
29427 | Why not write the whole fact?" |
29427 | Why should the child presume to greater wisdom than its father? |
29427 | Why should two babies share one lap? |
29427 | Why was she not awakened and compelled to behave properly? |
29427 | Will she ask Him to fit her to obey? |
29427 | Will she continue to insist upon a corner to herself? |
29427 | Will she, if she is in doubt about His will, wait upon Him to show it to her? |
29427 | Will the Lord absent Himself for ever? |
29427 | Would it not seem almost selfish to try? |
29427 | Would they be quite so cool, we wonder, if the little wronged girl were their own? |
29427 | Would you ask me to give up my own child, the apple of my eye?" |
29427 | _ Socrates:_"Then he ought to fear the blame and welcome the praise of the one man, not the many?" |
29427 | and will you show me the way, for it is such a long way and I do not know how to find it? |
29427 | did I not say it before? |
29427 | does someone ask? |
29427 | questioned the first, and was quiet for a minute considering the matter; then with a sceptical little laugh,"Did you ever wake up and see Him?" |
29427 | varied by"What colour is it? |
29427 | was a question on one such evening, as the mountains darkened in the passing of the after- glow; and then:"Why does He not light it every night?" |
29427 | what is the matter?" |
33247 | And is n''t it a fine thing to be in earnest? |
33247 | And yet, can you understand it? 33247 But,"some one objects,"this is not in the Standards of our Church?" |
33247 | Does it come once for all? 33247 Have I got_ that_?" |
33247 | I thought you told me you could do what you liked? |
33247 | Is anything too hard for the Lord? |
33247 | Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? |
33247 | Then a sweet voice broke the silence, And the dear Lord said to me,''Art thou tenderer for thy little child Than I am tender for thee?'' 33247 What is it to have sin? |
33247 | What new thing can these Convention speakers tell you? 33247 Why have the masses of the people lapsed from the Churches?" |
33247 | Why, then, wo n''t you come with me as I asked you? |
33247 | Wilt thou not be made clean? 33247 _ But some one objects,"I thought that when one became a Christian, and was made a partaker of the Divine nature, he had a clean heart?" |
33247 | _ How much more_ will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? |
33247 | 34,"Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?" |
33247 | 8);"Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" |
33247 | A.? |
33247 | All in vain? |
33247 | And if he knows it, may he not bear witness to the fact? |
33247 | And the man of God said, Where fell it? |
33247 | And where are we to get the enabling power? |
33247 | Are we willing to be cleansed? |
33247 | Before you read further, had you not better confess your sin, and tell the Master that you purpose in your heart new obedience? |
33247 | But Paul''s first question to them was,"Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" |
33247 | But now the question is,--not what can the believer do by his efforts to overcome indwelling sin, but what can the Almighty God do? |
33247 | But_ can_ this be the man who quailed before the look of the waiting- maid who charged him with being"with the Nazarene"? |
33247 | By parity of reasoning, if Christ has baptized a pardoned man with the Holy Ghost, may that man not know it? |
33247 | By the widest, wildest stretch of imagination could it be said of you that"Rivers of living water"are flowing from you--"flowing,"mind you,"flowing"? |
33247 | Can He not save from sin, from sinning? |
33247 | Can He not"guard from stumbling?" |
33247 | Can this be the man that"began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak"? |
33247 | Do not we_ all_ need? |
33247 | Do we appreciate the immense difference between"claiming"and"asking"? |
33247 | Do we know Pentecost experimentally for ourselves? |
33247 | Do you know why Peter and John, Ananias and Paul, spake of the Fullness of the Spirit? |
33247 | Do you know why we have not spoken of it to our converts and young Christians? |
33247 | Does it come once for all, or is it always coming? |
33247 | Does it come once for all? |
33247 | Does your Church, your neighborhood feel the vivifying, fructifying, refreshing influences of your presence? |
33247 | From this expression may we not learn the freeness of the blessing? |
33247 | From this expression may we not learn the"_ suddenness_"with which the blessing sometimes comes, and comes consciously, too? |
33247 | From this expression may we not learn the_ personality_ of the Holy Ghost? |
33247 | Had it not better be attended to now? |
33247 | Has it then been verified in your life and experience? |
33247 | Has modern practice been in accord with apostolic practice in this respect? |
33247 | Has not God told him it_ is_ His will?--has He not promised it?--has He not given it to him? |
33247 | Have we been stopping short at half salvation? |
33247 | Have we claimed and received our share? |
33247 | Have we improved then on the apostolic method? |
33247 | Have we life in Christ? |
33247 | Have we not known some Christian men who, as has been well said, are like well- supplied cruet- stands? |
33247 | Have we then, unhappily, through disobedience or neglect, lost the blessing which once we possessed? |
33247 | Have we"received"? |
33247 | Have you cashed the check? |
33247 | Have you claimed it? |
33247 | Have you found the spot where your obedience failed? |
33247 | Have_ we_ overlooked this fact? |
33247 | Have_ you_ obeyed this command? |
33247 | Having now considered the passages in which the various tenses are used, we are able to answer the question-- How does the blessing come? |
33247 | His birthright by virtue of his new birth? |
33247 | How can one''s life be filled with the fruit of the Spirit, unless one''s heart is first filled with the Spirit Himself? |
33247 | How can we be filled with the Holy Ghost if we are filled with something else? |
33247 | How long Between the New Birth and the Filling? |
33247 | How will He grieve if we decline to"buy,"or hesitate to"drink"? |
33247 | How? |
33247 | How? |
33247 | If Christ is here a person, why should the Holy Ghost be a mere influence? |
33247 | If not, why not? |
33247 | If not, why not? |
33247 | If not, why not? |
33247 | If not, why not? |
33247 | If these Ephesians had this experience, why may not believers still? |
33247 | In the R. V., Paul''s question is rendered,"Did ye receive the Holy Ghost when ye believed?" |
33247 | Is it a sin for a believer to- day to disobey the command,"Be not drunk"? |
33247 | Is it a"crisis"or a"process"? |
33247 | Is it not the Church members that elect these men and put them into office in the Church of God? |
33247 | Is not this blessing his very own? |
33247 | Is not this what is meant when it is said,"He is able to save to the uttermost"? |
33247 | Is the King''s Image visibly, permanently stamped upon us? |
33247 | Is the trouble nowadays in the demand or in the supply? |
33247 | Is the"cleansing"of verse 7 the same as the"cleansing"of verse 9? |
33247 | Is there a man on earth who can stand before the infinitely Holy One and say,"I do not come short of Thy glory"? |
33247 | Is there any reason why it should ever be an empty, barren form in our own day? |
33247 | Is there anything in my life and experience to correspond with_ that_? |
33247 | Is there not a cause? |
33247 | Is there one saying,"Oh that I were as in the months of old!"? |
33247 | Is this all Christ meant when He said,"Come unto Me"? |
33247 | Is this life of constant disappointment the normal life of the Bible Christian? |
33247 | Is_ creation_ an"act"or a"work"? |
33247 | It is known that all do not perfectly agree as to the best answer to the question: How to be filled with the Spirit? |
33247 | It will be noted that this answer is precisely similar to the answer that would be given to the question-- How am I to know that I am saved? |
33247 | May he not tell what still greater things the Lord hath done for him? |
33247 | May this not savor of egotism? |
33247 | Must_ this_ necessarily be egotism? |
33247 | Nay, does Christ not expect him to confess?--to tell what great things the Lord hath done for him? |
33247 | Now comes the question,"How am I to get it?" |
33247 | Now, if Christ has taken away a man''s sin, may that man not know it? |
33247 | Now, if you are asked, Do you obey the command,"Be filled with the Spirit,"what is your answer? |
33247 | Of what avail will all God''s"giving"be if a man does not"receive"? |
33247 | Of what use is a"seal"if it can not be seen? |
33247 | One may ask, what is it to be"filled with the Spirit"? |
33247 | Or, if not despising, are you neglecting it? |
33247 | Perhaps the more correct way of putting it would be, Why have the Churches lapsed from the masses? |
33247 | Prayer._"How much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" |
33247 | Reader, if you are asked, Do you obey the command,"Be not drunk with wine,"what is your answer? |
33247 | Since then"the promise is unto_ you_,"the question for"you"to settle is, Have you"_ received_"the promise? |
33247 | The first point to be settled is,"Is that the Master''s will for me?" |
33247 | The question then arises, What is it to have a"clean heart"? |
33247 | These objectors or the Sacred Record? |
33247 | To whom does"the promise"of the Father belong? |
33247 | WHO now crosses that desert a second time on our behalf with great camel loads of wine and milk? |
33247 | WHO was it that first crossed the wild with a cup of living water to slake our dying thirst? |
33247 | We have considered how the Fullness is obtained, but now we proceed to consider, How does the Fullness come? |
33247 | We have only to consider, WHO was it that first loved us, and called us to be His own children, when we were wandering in sin''s desert? |
33247 | What are we to say of these cross- grained or fretful, or worldly- minded, or covetous, or pleasure- loving professors of religion? |
33247 | What did it cost Him to draw that water from Salvation''s well, or to buy those luxuries for growth and power? |
33247 | What have we done with_ our_ deposit? |
33247 | What have you done with your birthright? |
33247 | What is sin?" |
33247 | What is the next step? |
33247 | What reservoir is there that does not need replenishing? |
33247 | What will one healing, stimulating draught accomplish in us and others? |
33247 | What, above all, will be the consequences to His glory? |
33247 | When the housewife cleans the house, does she then go out and live in the yard? |
33247 | Where is the room for an"if"? |
33247 | Where was it that the student got his lost axe- head? |
33247 | Who has a fathoming line long enough to sound the depths of that"how much more"? |
33247 | Who is responsible for this unequal yoking? |
33247 | Whom are we to believe? |
33247 | Why is it that I prize this letter and keep it laid up among my treasures? |
33247 | Why not_ now_? |
33247 | Why, then, should he mock his Lord by saying,"If it be Thy will"? |
33247 | Why? |
33247 | Why? |
33247 | Why? |
33247 | Why? |
33247 | Would n''t this be a vast improvement, even on making it clean after it has been made dirty? |
33247 | Would this be wrong? |
33247 | _ Are you living at this moment in the possession and enjoyment of it?_ Or, are you, Esau- like,"despising your birthright"? |
33247 | _ Are you living at this moment in the possession and enjoyment of it?_ Or, are you, Esau- like,"despising your birthright"? |
33247 | _ Cleansing: a Crisis_ But how am I to get this clean heart? |
33247 | _ HOW DOES IT COME?_ How does the Filling of the Spirit come? |
33247 | _ HOW DOES IT COME?_ How does the Filling of the Spirit come? |
33247 | _ HOW LONG BETWEEN?_ It is often asked what time must elapse between the regenerating by the Spirit and the filling with the Spirit? |
33247 | _ HOW LONG BETWEEN?_ It is often asked what time must elapse between the regenerating by the Spirit and the filling with the Spirit? |
33247 | _ HOW OBTAINED?_ We come now to the practical side of our subject. |
33247 | _ MAY ONE KNOW THAT HE IS FILLED?_ The question is often asked-- How am I to know when I am filled with the Holy Ghost? |
33247 | _ MAY ONE KNOW THAT HE IS FILLED?_ The question is often asked-- How am I to know when I am filled with the Holy Ghost? |
33247 | _ MAY ONE LOSE THE BLESSING?_ The question trembles from many a lip-- If I get the blessing, may I lose it? |
33247 | _ MAY ONE LOSE THE BLESSING?_ The question trembles from many a lip-- If I get the blessing, may I lose it? |
33247 | _ MAY ONE SAY THAT HE IS FILLED?_ The question has been raised-- Is it right for one to_ say_ that he is"filled with the Holy Ghost"? |
33247 | _ MAY ONE SAY THAT HE IS FILLED?_ The question has been raised-- Is it right for one to_ say_ that he is"filled with the Holy Ghost"? |
33247 | _ What is a Clean Heart_? |
33247 | and if he knows it, may he not bear witness to the fact? |
33247 | and is it then a virtue to disobey the equally authoritative command,"Be ye filled"? |
33247 | or is it_ always_ coming, as it were?" |
33247 | what is it to be"cleansed from all unrighteousness"? |
33247 | when shall it once be?" |
33247 | where are they? |
33247 | why then should we not_ all_ receive? |
33247 | why? |
33015 | Are all the children in? |
33015 | Darling, do you know you will soon hear the music of heaven? 33015 How did it work?" |
33015 | How long has this been, then? |
33015 | How was the first sand made? |
33015 | Is it night? |
33015 | John,they asked,"who are you?" |
33015 | Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? 33015 Reckon ye yourselves dead"; but if you were dead, you would n''t need to reckon yourselves dead, would you? |
33015 | Well, but,say some,"is there not a sowing time as well as harvest?" |
33015 | Well, did you tell your friends about having found the Savior? |
33015 | Well, how was the first rock made? |
33015 | Well,I asked,"have I got any peculiar kind? |
33015 | Well,I said,"I have seen you in the audience every afternoon for several weeks and have you heard me say anything against theaters?" |
33015 | Well,I said,"did you ever hear me say anything about theaters? |
33015 | Well,I said,"what made you bring them up?" |
33015 | Well,asked the chaplain,"how did that work?" |
33015 | What made you think that? |
33015 | Who shall be the greater? |
33015 | Why do n''t you go? |
33015 | Why, William? |
33015 | Why,I suppose she said,"what has come over that man? |
33015 | Why,she said,"Do you ever go?" |
33015 | You say I can not live, father? 33015 A Scotchman said to him,Ay, man, why do n''t you come chain and all?" |
33015 | After he had been a Christian some months, he was asked;"What have you found to be your greatest enemy since you began to be a Christian?" |
33015 | Am I to let the whole world know that I am on His side?" |
33015 | And John? |
33015 | And the little fellow smiled and said:"Well, father, I shall be with Jesus tonight, sha n''t I?" |
33015 | And why? |
33015 | Are You Jealous, Envious? |
33015 | Are Your Children Safe? |
33015 | Are all your children in? |
33015 | Are all your grandchildren in? |
33015 | Are we seeking to obtain some position of dignity? |
33015 | Are we wanting to hold on to some title, and are we offended because we are not treated with the courtesy that we think is due us? |
33015 | Are you cross and peevish, and do you make things unpleasant at home? |
33015 | Are you getting the victory? |
33015 | Are you growing more even in your disposition? |
33015 | Are you more amiable? |
33015 | Are you more patient than you were five years ago? |
33015 | Are you not weary of the turmoil of life? |
33015 | But she said again,"Mr. Moody, can I go to the theater if I become a Christian?" |
33015 | Can you say it is? |
33015 | Come, sister, wo n''t you tell your brother? |
33015 | Come, wife, wo n''t you tell your husband? |
33015 | Dear friend, are they all in? |
33015 | Dear friend, are you not tired and weary of sin? |
33015 | Did you ever have a little war of your own with your neighbors, in your own family? |
33015 | Did you ever notice that? |
33015 | Did you ever notice the reason Christ gave for learning of Him? |
33015 | Did you ever think that the trouble lies with you instead of the servants? |
33015 | Do n''t you think there is a strange look in his eye?" |
33015 | Do we think less of ourselves and of our position than we did a year ago? |
33015 | Do you ask me how much I am worth? |
33015 | Do you find someone who has been offended by something you have done? |
33015 | Do you know that for four thousand years no prophet or priest or patriarch ever stood up and uttered a text like this? |
33015 | Do you know, when the hundred and twenty years were up, God gave the world seven days''grace? |
33015 | Do you say:"How am I going to check covetousness?" |
33015 | Do you tell me that John Howard, who went into so many of the dark prisons in Europe, is dead? |
33015 | Do you tell me that Joseph is dead? |
33015 | Do you think Elijah could have uttered such a text as this, when, under the juniper- tree, he prayed that he might die? |
33015 | Do you think he had rest when he was teasing the Lord to let him go into the Promised Land? |
33015 | Do you think if God was going to destroy the world, He would let us go on so prosperously as He has? |
33015 | Do you think that Christ would shut the door in anyone''s face, and say,"I did not mean_ all_; I only meant certain ones"? |
33015 | Do you think that a man who has such eloquence would be looking for a church? |
33015 | For weeks after the chaplain did not see the young man again, but one day he met him, and asked--"By the way, did you take my advice?" |
33015 | Have I done all I can to get my children in? |
33015 | Have n''t you heard of my fame as a preacher? |
33015 | Have we been decreasing of late? |
33015 | Have you ever seen anything in the sermons against the theaters?" |
33015 | Have you not noticed their troubled faces on our streets? |
33015 | He be converted? |
33015 | He died an exile from his country and his throne, and where is his name today? |
33015 | He died to redeem us, and shall we be ashamed or afraid to confess Him? |
33015 | He go to these meetings? |
33015 | He used this text, but the devil put this thought into his mind:"How do you know Christ ever said that after all? |
33015 | He was a righteous man, and if he did that, what must the others have done? |
33015 | His mate came in, and seeing him at his Bible, said,"John, are you interested in these things?" |
33015 | How are we to overcome in time of persecution? |
33015 | How can the world be overcome? |
33015 | How can we overcome this enemy? |
33015 | How do we gain this mighty power? |
33015 | How long would he be governor? |
33015 | I am afraid that if we had been in John''s place, many of us would have said:"What did Christ say,--I am a burning and shining light?" |
33015 | I asked him,"How do you account for creation, for all these rocks?" |
33015 | I asked him:"Do you believe Christ said that?" |

33180 | 2 Wouldst thou a temple? |
33180 | 2 Wouldst thou, when thy faults are known, Wish that pardon should be shown? |

33180 | 3 Roll back the swelling tide of sin, The lust of gain, the lust of power; The day of freedom usher in: How long delays the appointed hour? |
33180 | 3 Shall man remain in silence, then, While all beneath the skies The chorus joins? |
33180 | 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? |

33180 | 3 So, trusting in Thy love, I tread The narrow path of duty on; What though some cherished joys are fled? |
33180 | 3 The ocean, that in mountains ran, Spreads boundlessly without a wave; And is it only said of man, His peace is in the grave? |
33180 | 3 Then, death, where is thy sting? |
33180 | 3 Thy neighbor? |
33180 | 3 Was I not girded for the battle- field? |
33180 | 3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name? |
33180 | 3 What is that great intent On which each heart is bent, Our hosts among? |
33180 | 3 What our foes? |
33180 | 3 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh? |

33180 | 4 What sought they thus afar? |
33180 | 4 When should not they rejoice, Whom Christ his brethren calls; Who hear and know his guiding voice, When on their hearts it falls? |
33180 | 4 Where, then, art thou? |
33180 | 4 Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? |
33180 | 4 Wouldst thou in thy lonely hour Praises to the Eternal pour? |
33180 | 4"Wouldst live in earth as lives The glorious One above? |
33180 | 5 And though Thy wisdom takes away, Shall I arraign Thy will? |
33180 | 5 And was his mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay? |
33180 | 5 The terror and the charm repel, And powers of earth, and powers of hell; The Man of Calvary triumphed here; Why should his faithful followers fear? |
33180 | 5 Then wherefore should we grieve Or what have we to fear? |

33180 | How may we meet our conflict yet In the dark, narrow way? |
33180 | How, but through him that path who trod? |
33180 | If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a brother''s pain, Are ye not base slaves indeed, Slaves unworthy to be freed? |

33180 | Lord, to Whom Shall We Go? |
33180 | Must I not stem the flood? |
33180 | O Death, Where Is Thy Sting? |
33180 | O, who like thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe? |
33180 | Or fasts and penance reconcile Thy justice, and obtain Thy smile? |
33180 | Or shall we shrink from shame, Endured for Jesus''name, Our glorious Lord, once spurned and crucified? |
33180 | Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember thee? |
33180 | Praise His name for life and light; Are the shadows lengthening o''er us? |

33180 | So meek, forgiving, godlike, high, So glorious in humility? |
33180 | Squandered life''s most golden hours? |
33180 | That hidden world no eye can see,-- O, who shall pierce its mystery? |
33180 | The chief of all the sons of men, Shall we not welcome him? |
33180 | The wealth of seas, the spoils of war? |
33180 | Thou wilt not tremble at the sound; What though the waters o''er thee roll? |
33180 | Thus saith the Lord our God;"A day for man to vex his soul, And feel affliction''s rod? |
33180 | To whom shall we Thy children turn? |

33180 | What is Prayer? |
33180 | What radiant light dispels the gloom? |
33180 | What reckless soul, though stout and strong, Shall dare bring back the ancient wrong, Oppression''s guilty night prolong, And freedom''s morning bar? |

33180 | Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go? |
33180 | Why should the earth be drenched with gore? |

60669 | But must we not believe on him? |
60669 | But you do not mean to say that you speak against praying, and reading good books, and so on? |
60669 | Do you mean,says one,"that I am to believe if I once trust Christ I shall be saved whatever sin I may choose to commit?" |
60669 | Are you not eager to be at once forgiven? |
60669 | Are you saved?" |
60669 | Are you still an unbeliever? |
60669 | Are you willing to remain an awakened one, and nothing more? |
60669 | But his soul- sufferings, which were the soul of his sufferings, who can even conceive, much less express, what they were? |
60669 | But if for some reason I had a doubt about it, and yet wished to believe the news, how should I act? |
60669 | Can any creature rival the Lord Jesus? |
60669 | Can not I get my thirst quenched in my own way?" |
60669 | Can that tree be saved? |
60669 | Can these be patched on to the costly fabric of his divine righteousness? |
60669 | Dear reader, will you have Christ now? |
60669 | Did it not seem strange that, both hearing the same words, one should come out into clear light, and the other should remain in the gloom? |
60669 | Did you ever notice how a fir- tree will get a hold among rocks which seem to afford it no soil? |
60669 | Did you ever tell your father that you tried to believe him?" |
60669 | Did you suggest that it would be a horrible thing if you were to trust in Jesus and yet perish? |
60669 | Did you take my prescription?" |
60669 | Do not his words do good to them that walk uprightly? |
60669 | Do you believe in Jesus? |
60669 | Do you blame him, or would you have had him stop in Newark with his block and his cleaver? |
60669 | Do you enquire,"Is there anything for us to do, to remove the guilt of sin?" |
60669 | Do you fear that you would not be saved if you followed it? |
60669 | Do you not fear that the lighthouse, and all that is in it, will be carried away? |
60669 | Do you think it very easy? |
60669 | Do you think the way of salvation, as laid down in the text we have quoted, to be dubious? |
60669 | Great mysteries are in the Book of God of necessity; for how can the infinite God so speak that all his thoughts can be grasped by finite man? |
60669 | He fumbled over the Book, till his master called out,"Hans, why do you not read?" |
60669 | He that is most loaded seems the most likely to pass in and begin the heavenward journey; but what ails the other men? |
60669 | He would say to- morrow morning,"Where are the flint and steel? |
60669 | How can light come through an invisible vapour? |
60669 | How can that be, when God has pledged his own word for its certainty? |
60669 | How can that fail which God prescribes, and concerning which he gives a promise? |
60669 | I cried,"are you not a believer in the Lord Jesus?" |
60669 | If I wish to believe anything, what shall I do? |
60669 | If a man will not do the thing that is necessary to a certain end, how can he expect to gain that end? |
60669 | If even to add to his words is to draw a curse upon ourselves, what must it be to pretend to add to himself? |
60669 | If, then, I wish to believe, but for some reason or other find that I can not attain to faith, what shall I do? |
60669 | In the name of God, I ask you, Which shall it be-- Christ and salvation, or the favourite sin and damnation? |
60669 | Is it a human love, which is eating like a canker into the heart? |
60669 | Is it any gross wrong- doing? |
60669 | Is it love of the world, or fear of men, or longing for evil gains? |
60669 | Is it not idolatry to allow any earthly thing to compare for one instant with the Lord God? |
60669 | Is not that common sense? |
60669 | Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened? |
60669 | It comes to this, my friend, as it did with John Bunyan; a voice now speaks to you, and says-- WILT THOU KEEP THY SIN AND GO TO HELL? |
60669 | It is written,"Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree;"but who knows what that curse means? |
60669 | It may be that the reader is unsaved: what is the reason? |
60669 | No language can ever tell his agony in prospect of his passion; how little then can we conceive the passion itself? |
60669 | Now, if it be eternal, how can it die out? |
60669 | O foolish tremblers, who has bewitched you? |
60669 | O my hearer, wilt thou have Jesus Christ to be thy Substitute? |
60669 | O reader, is there not common- sense in this matter? |
60669 | OR LEAVE THY SIN AND GO TO HEAVEN? |
60669 | One of the boys quickly asked of the teacher,"Is he to keep it?" |
60669 | Reader, will your very fear of the wrath to come prevent your escaping from it? |
60669 | Shall I stand like a cow staring at a new gate; or shall I, like an intelligent being, use the proper means? |
60669 | Should I not feel mortified if my reader should know what faith is, and then get confused by my explanation? |
60669 | Should we not astonish the old gentleman? |
60669 | Standing there with no food, no fire, and the chopper gone, something seemed to say to me,''Will Richardson, can you trust God now?'' |
60669 | Such newly- enlightened souls often exclaim,"Why, sir, it is so plain; how is it I have not seen it before this? |
60669 | Suppose you stand in the Slough of Despond for ever; what will be the good of that? |
60669 | The door is there; but unless you enter by it, what is the use of it to you? |
60669 | The sun take my portrait? |
60669 | There is light to be had; light marvellous and heavenly; why lie in the gloom and die in anguish? |
60669 | Thus would I urge the reader to seek faith; but if he be unwilling, what more can I do? |
60669 | What best is there about any of us? |
60669 | What can I ask the Lord Jesus to do for one who will not trust him? |
60669 | What can be the use of inventing reasons why I should not hold my own house, or possess any other piece of property which is enjoyed by me? |
60669 | What could we bring if he did need it? |
60669 | What does he need of us? |
60669 | What does his physician say when he enquires--"Did you follow my rule?" |
60669 | What has HE done that you should talk of him in that way? |
60669 | What have we to do with recondite questions while our souls are in peril? |
60669 | What is the comfort of a plan of a house if you do not enter the house itself? |
60669 | What is the good of a plan of clothing if you have not a rag to cover you? |
60669 | What is there of ours that could be added to his blood and righteousness? |
60669 | What, then, is your darling sin? |
60669 | Where do you live? |
60669 | Who but an idiot would do that? |
60669 | Why should not the reader do so at once? |
60669 | Why tarry in the darkness of the pit, wherein your feet sink in the miry clay? |
60669 | Why will you perish through perversely preferring other ways to God''s own appointed plan of salvation? |
60669 | Why, then, do you not attend to it? |
60669 | Will not you also try their saving virtue? |
60669 | Will we not at once come to him, and make him our sole trust? |
60669 | Will you have it?" |
60669 | Will you have it?" |
60669 | Will you make him a liar now, or will you believe his word?" |
60669 | Would he not want all his faith? |
60669 | Would he sell the priceless blessings of his redemption? |
60669 | Would you tell_ me_ that you would try to believe_ me_? |
60669 | Would you then complain,"It is a hard thing that I should die because I do not believe in eating"? |
60669 | You, too, must believe or die; why refuse to obey the command? |
60669 | [ Illustration] But one moans,"What if I come to Christ, and he refuses me?" |
60669 | [ Illustration] Do you see the tree in my picture? |
9402 | Ah, how does thee do? |
9402 | And does the Bible teach you to flatter people with your tongue, while you are laughing at them in your sleeves? |
9402 | And if your little baby dies, Mrs. Graffam,said Eddy,"he will be a flower in God''s garden; wo n''t he, Mary?" |
9402 | And pray, how is your dear little babe, sir? |
9402 | And who is to be the judge of our thoughts,asked Fanny,"whether they be right or wrong?" |
9402 | Are any more of my friends here? |
9402 | Are you? |
9402 | But how can I have you go away alone to read your Bible, and think sadly of-- being so weak? |
9402 | Can it be,thought the fallen man,"that I am still_ Mr._, or are they mocking me?" |
9402 | Can thee respect a drunkard, Emma? |
9402 | Emma,said he,"what would thee do for Peter and his family? |
9402 | Has thee been long out of health? |
9402 | How do you do, Willie? |
9402 | How is your babe this morning? |
9402 | How she could be extremely glad to see people who, she said, were''bores, and not to be endured?'' |
9402 | How would charity act toward a person whose manners are extremely rude? |
9402 | I guess so,was the reply;"but----""But what, Willie?" |
9402 | I know it,replied Emma;"but need he be lost, sir? |
9402 | Is it very heavy? |
9402 | O,thought Emma, as she looked after him,"is there none to help? |
9402 | Of what are you thinking, Dora? |
9402 | Perhaps not,was the reply;"I suppose your profits are enough to hire it done; but here is a shawl,--what is the price of it?" |
9402 | Shall we call at''Appledale?'' |
9402 | Thee looks delicate,said the old man;"what shall I give thee to eat, Emma?" |
9402 | Thee looks tired, Sarah; where are the girls? |
9402 | Thee means Peter, who lives upon the plains? |
9402 | Was it? |
9402 | We shall, Eddy, if we are like----"Like Jesus? |
9402 | What can she think? |
9402 | What do you suppose,continued Emma,"is meant by the sincere milk of the word?" |
9402 | What does thee think of that child, Sarah? |
9402 | What else have you? |
9402 | What is the use of this dreadful struggle? |
9402 | What shall I call thy name? |
9402 | When did she die? |
9402 | Where are you going, Mary Palmer? |
9402 | Why it was more impolite to tell people what was foolish in their appearance, than to laugh about this appearance in their absence? |
9402 | Why, who is Emma flying to see? |
9402 | You know Mr. Graffam, sir? |
9402 | You will come and see me again, wo n''t you? |
9402 | And why so sad? |
9402 | But now, whence came the wonderful beauty of the widespread landscape? |
9402 | Can I aid thee in any way?" |
9402 | Come, Susan, thee ought to be helping thy mother these hot days; but who is this friend?" |
9402 | Do you hear the drum?" |
9402 | Dora felt, as many under similar circumstances have felt, the earnest question pressing upon her heart:"Who is sufficient for these things?" |
9402 | Feel sober after your last night''s high, eh?" |
9402 | Friend Sliver laid down his hoe, and coming up to the wall, asked,"What is it, child?" |
9402 | Graffam?" |
9402 | Graffam?" |
9402 | Graffam?" |
9402 | He has a wife and four pretty children; ca n''t he be saved?" |
9402 | Is it not so?" |
9402 | O, would n''t it be delightful?" |
9402 | Was it just to be polite?" |
9402 | What have they been doing for her? |
9402 | What say you, Fanny Brighton?" |
9402 | What spirit possesses the human heart, when it shows a disposition to make others uncomfortable? |
9402 | Who has not entertained this uninvited guest? |
9402 | Why does he want to hurt folks''feelings? |
9402 | You read the Bible, Ma--,--I mean Miss Palmer?" |
9402 | You will not have me deceived, mamma?" |
9402 | You would not have had me say so; but these were my feelings; so what am I to do?" |
9402 | and yet what is gained? |
9402 | are they not, Mary Palmer?" |
12854 | For whereas--this is the proof--"there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
12854 | He is able to save to the uttermost.--Whom? |
12854 | How shall God not be willing to keep me in the light of His countenance, in the full experience of Christ''s saving power? 12854 ; there where he has just told us that we must reckon ourselves dead unto sin, and alive unto God in Christ Jesus? 12854 About His death? 12854 About His resurrection? 12854 Ah, beloved Christians, I want you to ask yourselves:Have I done that?" |
12854 | And God, the living God, will He not maintain His authority in your soul if you submit to Him? |
12854 | And I ask you: What think you? |
12854 | And about His ascension? |
12854 | And another question perhaps comes to us: What can be the reason that when we see a thing is wrong and strive against it we can not conquer it? |
12854 | And are you going to believe that, apart from any experience, and apart from any consciousness of strength? |
12854 | And do you expect that religion is so cheap that without giving time you can find close fellowship with God? |
12854 | And do you not believe that He loves you more than a bridegroom loves his bride? |
12854 | And how am I to wait on God? |
12854 | And how can that faith advance? |
12854 | And how can we enter that life, and dwell there in the bosom of the Lamb of God, if pride rules? |
12854 | And how can you then get it? |
12854 | And if you say,"Do you believe that He will do it for you?" |
12854 | And in what connection? |
12854 | And in what does God find His happiness? |
12854 | And is it not so with the Lord Jesus? |
12854 | And is the sun nearer to the blade of grass than Christ is to man''s soul? |
12854 | And now, if Jesus gives me that promise, what have I to do? |
12854 | And now, what is the use that we are to make of this lesson of the Master? |
12854 | And now, why does Christ say this:"Seek first the Kingdom of God?" |
12854 | And now, will all who have never yet found it honestly, begin to say,"Lord, up to this time I have never had it?" |
12854 | And remember those precious words in the 11th of John:"Said I not unto thee"--when did Christ say that? |
12854 | And then, my last remark, in answer to that question,"How can it be?" |
12854 | And therefore, if any one asks me,"How can I get rid of this compromise life?" |
12854 | And think you that we as believers have not a great work to do? |
12854 | And what do we see there? |
12854 | And what happened then? |
12854 | And what is it we now need to do? |
12854 | And what is that place? |
12854 | And what is the full Christ? |
12854 | And what is the whole creation groaning for? |
12854 | And what now is this invisible pane of plate glass, that hinders my taking the beautiful things I see? |
12854 | And what then? |
12854 | And what was Pentecost? |
12854 | And what was that joy that no man could ever touch? |
12854 | And what was that spirit? |
12854 | And what was that? |
12854 | And when did the Kingdom come-- that Kingdom of God upon earth? |
12854 | And where is the bond of unity between the life of the Church, the life of the individual believer and the work to be done among the heathen? |
12854 | And why did God give the angels or man a self? |
12854 | And why does He not do it? |
12854 | And why is it of consequence that we should look to that? |
12854 | And why is it of such consequence to speak thus? |
12854 | And why? |
12854 | And will not my God, who is love, be willing all the day to shine into this heart of mine, from morning to night, from year''s end to year''s end?" |
12854 | Are not His gifts all good?" |
12854 | Are there not some of us who would feel it an impossibility to spend every moment under the covering of the Most High,"in the secret of His pavilion?" |
12854 | Are we indeed the followers and successors of Christ who went all the way to Calvary to give His blood for men? |
12854 | Are we the true successors of Jesus Christ? |
12854 | Are we, by the grace of God, in deep humility living a spiritual life, or are we living a carnal life? |
12854 | Are you longing for perfect fellowship with me, longing to live where I am living, in the love of the Father? |
12854 | Are you longing for that uninterrupted communion with God that there was in Paradise before Adam fell? |
12854 | Are you longing to have Him, to have the perfect Christ Jesus? |
12854 | Are you ready to say that? |
12854 | Are you seeking a higher place than Jesus? |
12854 | As Potiphar took Joseph, will you not take Jesus? |
12854 | Ask what is the life Adam lives in me? |
12854 | Beloved, are you living in the joy of the Holy Ghost? |
12854 | Brother, do you want a better place than Jesus had? |
12854 | But are we willing to accept it, do we cherish it? |
12854 | But can He provide the table in the wilderness? |
12854 | But how does Christ come to me? |
12854 | But is not the blessed Lamb of God worth it all? |
12854 | But is there humility on the throne of God? |
12854 | But now comes the important question,"How can I attain this?" |
12854 | But was not conversion only one step? |
12854 | But what gave His death such power to atone? |
12854 | But why, then, do God''s children so often complain that their circumstances separate them from Him? |
12854 | But will God take one so feeble as I, and put me entirely right?" |
12854 | Can we expect to go to Heaven in any other way than He went? |
12854 | Christ had warned him; why did he not take warning? |
12854 | Christ said,"How can ye believe who receive honor one of another?" |
12854 | Did God make the sun to shine so brightly, and is the light so willing to pour itself into every nook and corner where it can find entrance? |
12854 | Did Paul find any spiritual believers? |
12854 | Did ever a father or mother think,"For to- day I want my child to love me?" |
12854 | Do not ask that question, but ask,"Has Christ attained it and does Christ promise to live in me?" |
12854 | Do the people look at that pointer? |
12854 | Do we not read in the Epistle to the Hebrews,"Let us draw near within the veil, through the blood, where the high priest is?" |
12854 | Do we not read that when God had finished His work, and rested, it was only to begin new work? |
12854 | Do we not thus see that every circumstance of our living, every comfort and every trial, comes from God in Christ? |
12854 | Do you find there self- will, self- pleasing? |
12854 | Do you indeed desire God to be all in all? |
12854 | Do you not believe that, having bought you with His blood, Jesus is longing for you? |
12854 | Does it only mean through Christ as the mediator, or intercessor? |
12854 | Does not all your anxious restlessness, and futile effort, prove that you have not let God do His work? |
12854 | Does not the Scripture say,"If He gave His life for us, we are bound to give our life for the brethren?" |
12854 | For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?" |
12854 | Has He not proven Himself worthy to be trusted? |
12854 | Has not joy a far stronger attraction than anything in the world? |
12854 | Have we been Christians so many years, and realized so little what we are? |
12854 | Have we not often heard complaints of how much there is of pride in the Church of Christ? |
12854 | Have we not to bow in shame before God, as we think of so much of the carnal in our hearts and lives? |
12854 | Have you ever noticed that it is the very people whom God has blessed so wonderfully who do that? |
12854 | Have you ever said,"Oh, how can I keep that light, how can I hold it fast, how can I be sure that I shall continue to have it to use?" |
12854 | Have you ever taken hold of God? |
12854 | Have you ever understood it? |
12854 | Have you said that? |
12854 | He began to think:"Must such a being as I always remain dependent on God?" |
12854 | He does not know what to do; he immediately casts about:"How can I keep it, this death and this life?" |
12854 | How am I to reach that blessed life? |
12854 | How are we to be saved by this humility of Jesus? |
12854 | How can I enter into this fellowship of the cross? |
12854 | How can we ask God to guide us into spiritual life, if we have not a clear, confident conviction that there is such a life to be had? |
12854 | How can we do this? |
12854 | How can we ever fight this battle, or meet these difficulties? |
12854 | How can we who are dead to sin in Christ live any longer therein? |
12854 | How do I know anything about the sun? |
12854 | How many hours a day has a young lady spent for years and years that she may become proficient on the piano? |
12854 | How many years does a young man study to fit himself for the profession of the law or medicine? |
12854 | How was that oak born? |
12854 | I am not asking, do you feel that you have the power to conquer it? |
12854 | I am not even asking, do you feel the power to cast it out? |
12854 | I ask you, do not these two motives plead most urgently that you should say:"I will make Jesus master over my whole being?" |
12854 | I ask,"What is Christ worth to you?" |
12854 | I want, in the simplest way possible, to answer the question:"How does a man enter into that rest?" |
12854 | If it was worth that to Christ, is it worth less to you? |
12854 | If one had asked Jesus of Nazareth,"What is it Thou hast a body for; what is to Thee the highest use of the body?" |
12854 | If there is a true spiritual life that can be lived, the great question is: Is the way open, and how can I enter into the spiritual state? |
12854 | If we bear the burden of souls, can we have this peace and joy? |
12854 | If you ask,"Do you believe Jesus wishes to do it?" |
12854 | In Gethsemane He cried:"Father, is it not possible that the cup pass from me?" |
12854 | In connection with humility, some one asks,"How about that text,''In honor preferring one another?''" |
12854 | In the 13th verse we read that Jesus at Caesarea Philippi asked His disciples,"Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" |
12854 | Is God not able so to take possession that He can be nearer to me than anything in the world? |
12854 | Is it a description of what Christ is? |
12854 | Is it a theological study? |
12854 | Is it not a sad thing to see a believer who has been converted five, ten, twenty years, and yet no growth, and no strength, and no joy of holiness? |
12854 | Is it not in every beauty, or in every virtue, in every pursuit, the joy that is set before us that draws? |
12854 | Is it not often like the temple of old, in Jerusalem, that had been defiled and made a house of merchandise, and afterwards a den of thieves? |
12854 | Is not that the life which we need? |
12854 | Is there humility in heaven? |
12854 | Is there no growth in holiness?" |
12854 | It was at the grave of Lazarus--"that if thou believest, thou shalt see the glory of God?" |
12854 | Jesus led him, even though he failed; and where did he lead him? |
12854 | Just look at the sunshine; have you ever had any trouble as you were working or as you were studying or reading a book in the light the sun gives? |
12854 | Let me just try to answer two very simple questions; the one:"Why should the Kingdom of God be first?" |
12854 | Longest thou for Me? |
12854 | Longest thou for fellowship? |
12854 | Many Christians are asking,"What is the reason there is so much feebleness in the Church?" |
12854 | May I ask, with reverence: What is God for? |
12854 | Must riches or poverty, joy or sorrow, have a power over me that my God has not? |
12854 | My brother, are you willing to be sanctified from every sin, be that sin great or small? |
12854 | My intellect, has that been defiled by sin? |
12854 | Now what are the works of self? |
12854 | Oh, Christian, what is that blessing you will get? |
12854 | Oh, have we not to bow in shame before God, as we think of His whole Church and see so much of the carnal prevailing? |
12854 | Oh, will you look up to God in Christ Jesus once again? |
12854 | One question that rises in every mind is this:"How can I live that life of perfect trust in God?" |
12854 | Paul says:"Whereas there is strife and division among you, and envying, are ye not carnal?" |
12854 | People have often asked me,"What is the reason I fail? |
12854 | People often ask: What does the Church of our day do to reach the masses? |
12854 | People often say to me:"But has God made all things so beautiful, and is it not right that we should enjoy them? |
12854 | Shall we not accept the salvation that Jesus offers? |
12854 | Shall we not say before God that we do trust Him, that we will trust Christ to be to us every moment all that we can desire? |
12854 | Should we not each ask,"Have I outgrown my spiritual infancy?" |
12854 | Suppose we were each, persons without a single sin; just suppose it; could we then make confession? |
12854 | The Father said:"Will you give up that life to me? |
12854 | The light of the sun-- can I separate that from the sun? |
12854 | The one,"Why should it be so?" |
12854 | The question comes again: Why is it that God''s people do not know their God? |
12854 | The question was once asked the disciples,"What think ye of Christ?" |
12854 | The solemn question comes to us,"Is the God I have, a God that is to me above all circumstances, nearer to me than any circumstance can be?" |
12854 | Then, secondly, how did Christ live out His life during the thirty- three years in which He walked here upon earth? |
12854 | They have read, and prayed, but they have found everything so difficult, If you ask them,"Do you believe Jesus can help you to live this higher life?" |
12854 | To a man who asks me,"How can I enter into the rest?" |
12854 | Was that Christ''s leading? |
12854 | We breathe without difficulty because God surrounds us with the air; and is the air nearer to me than Christ is? |
12854 | We do not wish to say,"I am trying to be as holy as I can; what have I to do with those worldly people about me?" |
12854 | We go to Christ to take it away, and he does not do it; and we ask,"Why will he not do it? |
12854 | We often ask earnestly: How can I be free from the self life? |
12854 | We often hear about the compromise life and the question comes up What lies at the root of it? |
12854 | What about His life upon earth? |
12854 | What am I to do if I am to have this Holy Spirit within me? |
12854 | What are the marks of a crucified man? |
12854 | What are the marks of a little child? |
12854 | What are the points of difference? |
12854 | What are we to do to get rid of it? |
12854 | What brought deliverance to that poor condemned sinner who was most dark and wretched in his unconverted state? |
12854 | What can be the reason that we have a hundred times prayed and vowed, yet here we are still living a mingled, divided, half- hearted life? |
12854 | What could help those carnal Corinthians? |
12854 | What did Christ do when He died? |
12854 | What did Christ do? |
12854 | What did Potiphar do? |
12854 | What did he do? |
12854 | What did the Israelites say? |
12854 | What do I see here? |
12854 | What do I see? |
12854 | What do we read in Hebrews vii? |
12854 | What does that mean-- You are dead to sin? |
12854 | What does that mean? |
12854 | What does that mean? |
12854 | What does that teach us of Christ''s relation to the Father? |
12854 | What happened in the first Adam? |
12854 | What have we to say about His birth? |
12854 | What is it that often disturbs our hearts, and our peace? |
12854 | What is it that prevents people from coming to that entire surrender that we speak of? |
12854 | What is more beautiful than the love of a child to his mother? |
12854 | What is needful for that? |
12854 | What is religion? |
12854 | What is the Christ worth to you? |
12854 | What is the cause of all the division, and strife, and envying, that is often found even among God''s saints? |
12854 | What is the cause of all the wretchedness of man? |
12854 | What is the cause of estrangement between friends? |
12854 | What is the cause of evil speaking? |
12854 | What is the cause of selfishness and indifference to the feelings of others? |
12854 | What is the essential idea of a creature made by God? |
12854 | What is the life Christ lives in me? |
12854 | What is the real Christ? |
12854 | What is the root of all? |
12854 | What is the use of having a mind; and what is the use of having money; and what is the use of having children? |
12854 | What is this joy? |
12854 | What is, in prayer, the most important thing? |
12854 | What life? |
12854 | What made him so separate from others? |
12854 | What moved Potiphar to do this? |
12854 | What ought to be the silence of the soul unto God? |
12854 | What think you, ought we not to humble ourselves before God? |
12854 | What was it that led Peter to deny Jesus? |
12854 | What was man created for? |
12854 | What was the cause of this? |
12854 | What would the result be? |
12854 | When a boy twelve years of age Jesus said:"Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
12854 | When they had answered, He asked them,"But whom say ye that I am?" |
12854 | Where did it begin? |
12854 | Where is it standing? |
12854 | Where shall I see the glory of God most brightly? |
12854 | Wherein cometh the beauty and the blessedness of that exaltation of Jesus? |
12854 | Whither had he to follow? |
12854 | Who is God? |
12854 | Who is going to say that is hard? |
12854 | Who loves to have a hasty temper? |
12854 | Who loves to have a proud disposition? |
12854 | Who loves to have a worldly heart? |
12854 | Why is it that the blessed Spirit can not teach us more effectually? |
12854 | Why is it that we find it so hard to hold fellowship with God? |
12854 | Why so seldom, and why in such feeble measure? |
12854 | Why was that? |
12854 | Why? |
12854 | Why? |
12854 | Will you have me do this? |
12854 | Will you leave it there? |
12854 | Will you not begin to- day? |
12854 | Will you not choose a life in which God shall be all, and in which you rest in Him for all? |
12854 | Will you not come and surrender all, and say,"Lord Jesus, I have made Thee overseer over all?" |
12854 | Will you not learn to say from to- day,"Welcome every trial, for it comes from God?" |
12854 | Will you not listen and hear Him speak to your soul? |
12854 | Will you not open your heart, and say:"Come in; come in?" |
12854 | Will you not take the step? |
12854 | Will you not, like the nobleman, take the simple step of faith, and believe the word Jesus hath spoken? |
12854 | Will you part with it at my command?" |
12854 | Will you trust God to- day for the future? |
12854 | Will you? |
12854 | You ask if when I talk of a spiritual man I am not thinking of a man of spiritual maturity, a real saint, and you say:"Does that come in one day? |
12854 | You ask,"But must it then be dying every day?" |
12854 | You ask,"How can I get rid of this self life?" |
12854 | You ask,"Why is it, that for twenty years I have been fighting with my temper, and can not conquer it?" |
12854 | You say at once,"What Christian can ever attain that?" |
12854 | You say,"Am I able to realize that?" |
12854 | Your heart, meant to be the home of Jesus, is it not often full of sin and darkness, full of sadness, full of vexation? |
12854 | Your house, Christian, your spiritual life, the dwelling, the temple of God in your heart,--in what state is that? |
12854 | and are we not rather trying to escape the sentence or to forget it? |
12854 | and can we be happy? |
12854 | and the other:"How can it be?" |
12854 | why is it that you and I can not trust Him fully, perfectly to do His work? |
34683 | ''For them that love him''? 34683 ''Will you also remain?'' |
34683 | And it is still your favorite flower? |
34683 | And the bell? |
34683 | And will you teach me how to weave these delicate hangings? |
34683 | Are there many such,I asked,"doing this work in this beautiful realm?" |
34683 | Are they not''all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation''? 34683 But the books-- who writes them? |
34683 | Could you go with me this morning? |
34683 | Do these people stand here always, I wonder? |
34683 | Do you not know him, auntie? |
34683 | Do you think they love the Father for the gift of the Son and the Son because of the Father''s love and mercy? 34683 Does she not look very young to you, Oliver?" |
34683 | Frank, I believe you are the only one of our friends here who has never questioned me about the dear ones left behind; why is it? |
34683 | Frank, what has that water done for me? |
34683 | Frank, where are we going? |
34683 | Gladly,she said;"but have you ever been to the lake or the sea?" |
34683 | Has he seen his mother since coming here? 34683 Has he seen the Christ?" |
34683 | He will know me as soon as the struggle is past? |
34683 | Home? 34683 How did you know I was here, Mamie?" |
34683 | How do you know she is coming, children? 34683 How long was he in prison?" |
34683 | How long were you here before you met him? |
34683 | How then,you ask,"could you reach out for more, when you had all that you could receive?" |
34683 | I? |
34683 | Is it any one I know? |
34683 | Is it ever cold enough here for fires? |
34683 | Is it not a reminder? |
34683 | Is my sister coming soon? |
34683 | Is not my brother''s a lovely character? |
34683 | Is the home- life here less attractive than it was in the earth- life? |
34683 | Is this beautiful place indeed to be my home? |
34683 | It is your home, and I am to stay with you? |
34683 | Just as I am? |
34683 | Martin, can you sing here? |
34683 | Now? |
34683 | Oh, why did you not sooner tell me? |
34683 | Rest? |
34683 | Shall we go now? |
34683 | Shall we go to the lake to- day, and leave the sea for another day? 34683 She loves flowers so much-- will she not enjoy these trees?" |
34683 | The lake or the sea? |
34683 | Then there is nothing but joy in the reunion at hand? |
34683 | We were here at the time, and looking about, one of them asked,''May we beautify this room?'' 34683 Well, and what then?" |
34683 | What are the duties of heaven? |
34683 | What did she do when she saw her lovely room? |
34683 | What does it mean? 34683 What is this lovely fabric you are weaving?" |
34683 | What shall I tell you first? |
34683 | What would you have me do? 34683 When shall I behold the Savior? |
34683 | When was this? |
34683 | When will it be? 34683 Where are you going now? |
34683 | Where did you spring from so suddenly, dear? 34683 Where do my father''s duties mostly lie?" |
34683 | Where is this wonderful house, Carroll? |
34683 | Where was his papa? |
34683 | Who are they? |
34683 | Who is it? |
34683 | Why not go to- day? |
34683 | Why not? |
34683 | Why? 34683 Will you not accompany us?" |
34683 | Would it not be better if I brought you back a little later-- after they come? |
34683 | Would you surely do so? |
34683 | Yes, dear, but who could know it was the last? 34683 You have but lately come?" |
34683 | ''What can you do?'' |
34683 | ======================================================================"Did he not sacrifice his life for little Will?" |
34683 | After a moment, I asked:"''May I not remain awhile with mamma? |
34683 | Again, the question is many times repeated,"Does this experience retain its vividness as time passes, or does it grow unreal and dreamlike to you?" |
34683 | Am I to go to him?" |
34683 | Are any of them books we knew and loved below?" |
34683 | Are there a lake and sea here?" |
34683 | As I drew in my breath with a short, quick gasp of delight, I heard my brother, who was standing beside me, say softly,"Well?" |
34683 | As I stood once more admiring the inlaid roses, my brother asked:"Whom, of all the friends you have in heaven, do you most wish to see?" |
34683 | As we drew near, he said in an almost pathetic voice:"Is my mother coming?" |
34683 | But is it not nice to have Dr. Nell so near us? |
34683 | But this is almost complaining, is it not? |
34683 | But what is this-- a fireplace?" |
34683 | But what was this? |
34683 | But you did not make the stained- glass windows also?" |
34683 | Can I describe it as it appeared to me that day? |
34683 | Can such things be, And overcome us like a summer''s cloud, Without our special wonder? |
34683 | Can you come with me now?" |
34683 | Can you not come with me awhile? |
34683 | Can you suggest anything that would probably reach him?" |
34683 | Could the old unrest of earth find place in this divine retreat? |
34683 | Could this radiant creature, with smooth brow and happy eyes, be the pale, wan woman I had last seen, so bowed with suffering and sorrow? |
34683 | Did not she tell you I was here?" |
34683 | Did you see her?" |
34683 | Do I not know? |
34683 | Do you believe that all Christians truly love him?" |
34683 | Do you know them?" |
34683 | Do you not feel that you are infinitely better prepared to confer happiness than when you parted from him you love?" |
34683 | Do you spend all your time at this delightful work?" |
34683 | Does she know of his arrival?" |
34683 | Have we a home, my brother? |
34683 | Have you forgotten the promise,''I go to prepare a place for you; that where I am, there ye may be also''? |
34683 | He looked at me a moment critically, then said:"I wonder if you realize the change that has likewise come to you in this wonderful clime?" |
34683 | How could it be otherwise when two grow together and become as one? |
34683 | How do you find life here?" |
34683 | How does the change impress you? |
34683 | How else could I ever have passed calmly through those trying scenes, and witnessed the sorrow of those so dear to my heart? |
34683 | I asked;"will he not accompany us?" |
34683 | I cried, folding my arms tenderly about her,"then it is like the early years of your married life again?" |
34683 | I found her home was distant from our own-- far beyond the spires of the great city across the lake-- but she added:"What is distance in heaven? |
34683 | I had not gone far before I met my brother Frank, who greeted me with:"I am on my way to the city by the lake; will you accompany me?" |
34683 | I said to my brother, as we again stepped upon the flowery sward"Are all the rivers here like this one?" |
34683 | I tried another with the same astonishing result, then turning to my brother, I said:"What does it mean? |
34683 | I whispered,"There, dear, do you not see that I am really with you?" |
34683 | I will leave you two together, and you will bring her to me later?" |
34683 | Instantly she raised her head and looking at me, said eagerly:"You think so, too? |
34683 | Is he surely, surely coming to me sometime? |
34683 | Is it anything like these?" |
34683 | Is it not divinely beautiful?" |
34683 | Is it this divine life?" |
34683 | Is she, Joe?" |
34683 | May I bring her?" |
34683 | May I stay a long time with you? |
34683 | Meeting Mrs. Wickham, I pointed to the house and asked:"Who lives there?" |
34683 | More than once the question has been asked,"Was there night there?" |
34683 | Mother, I may have them both for a little time, may I not? |
34683 | My first sensation upon entering the room was genuine surprise at the sight of the books, and my first words were:"Why, have we books in heaven?" |
34683 | O joys that are gone, will we find you at last On the shores of that wonderful land? |
34683 | O joys that are gone, will you ever return To gladden our hearts as of yore? |
34683 | Once she turned to me and asked quickly:"When is my Uncle Will coming?" |
34683 | One suffering mother writes,"Do you think I could pray still for my darling girl?" |
34683 | Or is their worship ofttimes that of duty rather than love?" |
34683 | Or was this indeed but another phase of the immortal life? |
34683 | Shall I give you your first lesson now?" |
34683 | Shall I hold him again in my arms, my darling boy?" |
34683 | Shall we feel their dear arms twining Fondly''round us as before? |
34683 | Shall we go now?" |
34683 | Shall we know each other there? |
34683 | Shall we see the same eyes shining On us, as in days of yore? |
34683 | She sat for a moment lost in thought, then said wistfully:"Now, tell me of my children-- are they coming?" |
34683 | Sprague?" |
34683 | Sprague?'' |
34683 | The following morning my brother said to me, after an interesting hour of instruction:"Shall we go for the promised visit to Mrs. Wickham now?" |
34683 | The question has repeatedly been asked me,"Was this a real experience, or merely a fanciful sketch?" |
34683 | Then the thought came, as we at last arose to return,"What are we to do for towels?" |
34683 | They are our friends, and the friends of our parents, and we want to know if we may not do something to help you make it beautiful?'' |
34683 | Was I dreaming? |
34683 | Was he, this dearly loved one, indeed insensible to his suffering? |
34683 | What are now the years of separation, since the meeting again is at hand? |
34683 | What can I say to comfort you? |
34683 | What could it mean? |
34683 | What lovelier service could she do than to thus save the life of one so dear to her, whose earth- work was not yet done? |
34683 | When shall I meet, face to face, him whom my soul so loveth?" |
34683 | When the holy angels meet us, As we go to join their band, Shall we know the friends that greet us, In the glorious spirit- land? |
34683 | When will you return to him?" |
34683 | Where had I seen him before? |
34683 | Where is my brother Oliver?" |
34683 | Where is your sister, daughter?" |
34683 | Which shall it be?" |
34683 | Who but our loving Father would have thought of such comfort for a little child? |
34683 | Why do not boys and girls talk more together about what they hear at Sunday- school? |
34683 | Why do not teachers take more interest in the daily lives of their scholars? |
34683 | Why do you grieve?" |
34683 | Why is there so little really helpful talk in ordinary home life? |
34683 | Why must she see me, to recognize this? |
34683 | Why, why could we not know him on earth as we know him here?" |
34683 | Will dear eyes meet our own, as in days that are past? |
34683 | Will we find you awaiting us, some happy morn, When we drift to Eternity''s shore? |
34683 | Will we thrill at the touch of a hand? |
34683 | Will you come and see it?" |
34683 | Will you not turn to me, instead of to that lifeless form in the casket? |
34683 | Would the Father mercifully spare him even the pang of the parting? |
34683 | You surely do not tell me that none of these are natural flowers?" |
34683 | or will you come, too?" |
34683 | she called, as she drew near,"do you not know me?" |
9957 | After the meeting was over one of the sisters came to me and said,''My brother, wo nt you come along to the meeting? 9957 Do you notice,"said the guide,"how they get farther and farther apart?" |
9957 | How did you come to Christ? |
9957 | What led you to Christ? |
9957 | ''I have one boy of sixteen not saved,''he said''Brother, will you promise me to speak to him when you go home?'' |
9957 | ''Johnnie,''I said,''can you see the way clear?'' |
9957 | ''Now,''I said,''will you not accept Jesus as your personal Saviour?'' |
9957 | ''Well,''I said,''did you give your heart to the Lord?'' |
9957 | ''Well,''I said,''have you fully surrendered?'' |
9957 | ''What about my situation?'' |
9957 | ''Where do you teach?'' |
9957 | ''Why?'' |
9957 | ''Will you decide now?'' |
9957 | A week after that another policeman came to me and said,''Sergeant, do you remember that booklet you gave me,"God''s Sure Promise?"'' |
9957 | About a week after I visited this particular man, and with a smile upon his face he said,''You remember those two booklets you gave me?'' |
9957 | About one o''clock I spoke to him and said,''Will you give yourself to the Lord now?'' |
9957 | And I read it the third time, and talking to me as gently as a mother would to her child he said,"Do you believe this?" |
9957 | And then I turned to the boy of fifteen and said,''Are you willing to accept the Saviour?'' |
9957 | And then he said,''Will you come to my home and pray for me?'' |
9957 | As I sat there following the case this Chief Inspector turned to me and said,''Why did n''t they know Him on the road to Emmaus?'' |
9957 | As they came to one of the most dangerous places in the journey his guide stopped him, and said,"Do you see those footprints off here to the right?" |
9957 | As we approached he said to me,''Sergeant, can you get me a drink of whisky?'' |
9957 | But it was not long before the enemy suggested,''This can not be faith; for where is thy joy?'' |
9957 | Do you believe that?'' |
9957 | He began by saying:-- Must Jesus bear the Cross alone, And all the world go free? |
9957 | He said to me,"Do you believe this?" |
9957 | He said to me,''But, Tom, I have done this and that,''''Well,''I said,''Jesus has died for you, will you accept Him?'' |
9957 | He said to me,''where do you sleep? |
9957 | He said,"Are you a Christian?" |
9957 | He said,"If you are not willing to give up everything for Christ, are you willing to be made willing?" |
9957 | He said,''Do you remember me telling you I paid a sovereign for my sitting in church? |
9957 | He said,''How did they know Him when they got to the home?'' |
9957 | He said,''What shall I do? |
9957 | He said,''What time is it?'' |
9957 | How long is it since you saw her?'' |
9957 | I asked one of the neighbours what time it was, and she said it is almost night now, but where have you been for the last two or three days? |
9957 | I got into conversation with him and after a while I said to him,''Do you ever go to a place of worship?'' |
9957 | I said to Him,''Will you do it now?'' |
9957 | I said to him,''Have you been to the mission?'' |
9957 | I said to the officers in my church one evening,"How many of you have ever led a soul to Christ?" |
9957 | I said''Why?'' |
9957 | I said,''Are you in trouble about your soul?'' |
9957 | I said,''Are you saved?'' |
9957 | I said,''Do you take whisky when you are thirsty?'' |
9957 | I said,''Well, my boy, if you do n''t, what will become of you?'' |
9957 | I said,''Will you accept Jesus as your personal Saviour?'' |
9957 | I said,''Will you take him at His word now?'' |
9957 | I went to that saloon keeper and said to him,''How much do I owe you?'' |
9957 | If our work is to be as God would have it where shall it begin? |
9957 | Is it necessary? |
9957 | Is this awful waste-- this moral havoc-- unavoidable? |
9957 | One of the officers came up and said,''Are you saved?'' |
9957 | She looked at me and said,''Are you a Christian?'' |
9957 | So I walked out as far as the Police Station, and I said,''Where is the Salvation Army going to be to- night?'' |
9957 | Some are saying,"What must I do to be a Christian?" |
9957 | Some may ask, What is the best time to speak to my friends about Christ? |
9957 | The next night I said to him,''Johnnie, have you thought of what we spoke on last night?'' |
9957 | Then I asked him to be honest before God, and I said,''Will you accept Him now?'' |
9957 | Then ask them, Will you do it? |
9957 | Then he said,"Are you a Christian?" |
9957 | Then suppose he should tell you what a strength and help it had been to him, what would you say to him?" |
9957 | When I went down to the old church which is in the grounds of the estate, they said to me,''What will you do about the minister?'' |
9957 | When he saw me passing he said,''What does this mean?'' |
9957 | When the Police Justice saw me coming in he said,''Where have you been to- night?'' |
9957 | When the day of my graduation came, and I was bidding him good- bye, he said,"By the way, why have you never spoken to me about becoming a Christian?" |
9957 | When you get home tonight, will you kindly make a definite decision at your bedside?'' |
9957 | Will you accept Him just here? |
9957 | Will you accept Him now?'' |
9957 | Will you come?'' |
9957 | Will you kindly give me your name? |
9957 | Will you receive Him? |
9957 | Will you say, Lord Jesus I accept Thee as my personal Saviour?'' |
9957 | Will you take Jesus now?'' |
9957 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
30449 | Are you fond of flowers? |
30449 | But do n''t you know you are a sinner? |
30449 | But they will put me in prison,he said:"can not you give me any help?" |
30449 | Do you not think,said my friend,"that you had better come to Christ first? |
30449 | Do you think, then, I would tell you a falsehood? |
30449 | Does he belong to the Episcopal Church? |
30449 | Have you got the money? |
30449 | Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? |
30449 | How did you get this gift? |
30449 | How do you explain them? |
30449 | How do you know that he put it in the right hand? |
30449 | How is that? |
30449 | How long have you been here? |
30449 | How then shall ye escape, if ye neglect so great salvation? |
30449 | I hearkened and heard; but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? 30449 Is he a Methodist?" |
30449 | Is he a Presbyterian? |
30449 | Is your eye off the Saviour? 30449 Man, what do you mean? |
30449 | The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? |
30449 | The stork says to himself,''Ah, here is a fir tree:''he consults with his mate,''Will this do for the nest in which we may rear our young?'' 30449 The wild goat on the crag does not say,''Have I a right here?'' |
30449 | Then, to what persuasion does he belong? |
30449 | Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they are gone from Me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 30449 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? |
30449 | Turn ye, turn ye; for why will ye die? |
30449 | Well, do n''t you know that God wants to have mercy on you-- that there is forgiveness with God? 30449 Well,"I said,"what is it?" |
30449 | Well,said the gentleman,"what has He done to you?" |
30449 | What do you do with them? |
30449 | What is the noise in the camp? |
30449 | What is the trouble? |
30449 | What remedy? |
30449 | Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies? 30449 Why, have you not heard about it? |
30449 | Why, have you not heard the news? 30449 15, 16 we read:Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
30449 | 32:"He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" |
30449 | 5, we read:"Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden by a perpetual backsliding? |
30449 | 60:"The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest Thou nothing? |
30449 | A man said to me some time ago,"Moody, how do you feel?" |
30449 | After a few general remarks, he turned to me and said,''Brother Charles, will you close the meeting with prayer?'' |
30449 | Again in the 32d verse:"Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? |
30449 | Again in the 33d verse:"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect? |
30449 | Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
30449 | Am I arraigned by Satan at the Divine tribunal? |
30449 | Am I in affliction? |
30449 | Am I persecuted by the world? |
30449 | And do you think the Judge of all the earth will forgive you and me, and open the question again? |
30449 | And he said,"Who can?" |
30449 | And if, the next day, he were again to bring up that old sin, and ask forgiveness, would not that grieve me to the heart? |
30449 | And immediately when Jesus perceived in His Spirit that they reasoned within themselves, He said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? |
30449 | And some one says:"Why, my good woman, have you not heard the good news that has come into the camp?" |
30449 | And when Philip talked to the eunuch, as they went on their way, the eunuch said to Philip,"See, here is water: what doth hinder me to be baptized?" |
30449 | And when the Jews came round Him and said,"How long dost Thou make us to doubt? |
30449 | And yet what did Christ say to him? |
30449 | Are you a professed Christian but one who is a slave to some besetting sin? |
30449 | Are you a sinner? |
30449 | Are you hungering after righteousness? |
30449 | Assurance is the confident challenge,''Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect? |
30449 | Backslider, I would ask you,"What iniquity is there in God, that you have left Him and gone far from Him?" |
30449 | But I can imagine some one saying,"What am I to do? |
30449 | But how can any one read the life of Jesus Christ and make Him out a deceiver? |
30449 | But the boy does not see anything; he says--"I do not see anything; what is it, mother?" |
30449 | But what was Christ''s object? |
30449 | But when I have asked,"Would you not be troubled if you lost one; and would you not set about seeking for it?" |
30449 | Can a man at once repent? |
30449 | Can we look upon that scene, and say God did not love us? |
30449 | Can you be censured for doing well, and not murmur? |
30449 | Can you be misjudged and misrepresented, and yet keep a Christ- like spirit? |
30449 | Can you forgive an enemy? |
30449 | Can you forgive an injury, or take an affront, as Christ did? |
30449 | Can you tell me by what process that same grass was turned into hair, feathers, bristles and wool? |
30449 | Columbus discovered America; but what did he know about its great lakes, rivers, forests, and the Mississippi Valley? |
30449 | Could He be a mere man and talk in that way? |
30449 | Did ever any heaven- sent man fail yet? |
30449 | Did not David find it so? |
30449 | Did not he find it an evil and a bitter thing? |
30449 | Did you ever hear that? |
30449 | Do I pray? |
30449 | Do you believe it is a fact?" |
30449 | Do you not call to mind your astonishment at the draught of fishes so that you exclaimed,''Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord?'' |
30449 | Do you not remember when your wife''s mother lay sick of a fever that I rebuked the disease and it left her? |
30449 | Do you remember when in answer to your cry,''Lord, save me, or I perish,''I stretched out My hand and kept you from drowning in the water? |
30449 | Do you think God can forgive a man when he does not want to be forgiven? |
30449 | Do you think that the God who has justified me will condemn me? |
30449 | Do you want to know how to go to Christ? |
30449 | Do you want to know the way? |
30449 | Do, you think that Abraham Lincoln, or any man that ever lived on earth, had as much compassion as Christ? |
30449 | Faith is the eye of the soul; and who would ever think of taking out an eye to see if it were the right kind so long as the sight was perfect? |
30449 | Farewell"? |
30449 | Has God changed? |
30449 | Has He failed in His mission? |
30449 | Has not God the power to keep? |
30449 | Have I been born of the Spirit? |
30449 | Have I not seen it blow the trees in the forest, and the growing corn in the country?" |
30449 | Have I passed from death unto life?" |
30449 | Have we been delivered from sin? |
30449 | Have you a sainted friend up yonder? |
30449 | Have you done your mother a great injury and a great wrong? |
30449 | Have you forgotten being with Me at the supper- table, and in Gethsemane? |
30449 | Have your doubts come back?" |
30449 | He asks:"What have I done that you should have forsaken Me?" |
30449 | He inquired"How?" |
30449 | He leant his elbows on the cot and clasping his hands together, said,"That''s good; wo n''t you read it again?" |
30449 | He quibbles and questions,''May I?'' |
30449 | He said"Could I not take that money and go into business, and make enough to pay them back?" |
30449 | He says in another place,"O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? |
30449 | He says to the young convert"You do not think I am going to believe anything like that? |
30449 | He says,"What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they are gone far from Me?" |
30449 | He stopped me and said,"Is that there?" |
30449 | He went up to him, and said:"Tell me, is there not some estrangement between you and the Lord Jesus?" |
30449 | His answer was,"Why, He has saved me; and that is a pretty good proof, is it not?" |
30449 | How can I become a Christian without restoring it?" |
30449 | How can these things be?" |
30449 | How could He be merely a good man and use language as that? |
30449 | How did you know it was good money?" |
30449 | How long did it take to cure that boy? |
30449 | How long did it take to cure those serpent- bitten Israelites? |
30449 | How long does it take to accept a gift? |
30449 | How much does God want you to feel it? |
30449 | How should we get on in the ordinary intercourse of life, and how would commerce get on, if we disregarded men''s testimony? |
30449 | I asked,"Why have you let her go?" |
30449 | I asked:"What is your trouble?" |
30449 | I can imagine one saying,"If God loves me, why does He not make me good?" |
30449 | I can imagine some of you saying,"How shall I go to Him?" |
30449 | I remember a man asking,"Who said that? |
30449 | I said to myself: I have decided to be a Christian sometime; why not begin now? |
30449 | I see the scowl on that Pharisee''s brow as he says,"How can these things be?" |
30449 | I thought he had committed a murder, or some other awful crime; and I asked:"Is there any one sin that particularly troubles you?" |
30449 | If Abraham Lincoln had compassion on that little girl, heard her petition and answered it, do you think the Lord Jesus will not hear your prayer? |
30449 | If Christ bear my sins in His own body on the tree, am I to answer for them as well? |
30449 | If He were mere man, how could He be with us? |
30449 | If a man is not sure of his own salvation, how can he help any one else into the kingdom of God? |
30449 | If gold could have redeemed us, could He not have created ten thousand worlds full of gold? |
30449 | If some one has slandered you, or misjudged you, do you treat them as your master would have done? |
30449 | If the physicians in Israel can not cure me, how do you think that an old brass serpent on a pole is going to cure me?" |
30449 | If you could hear her speak, would not she say,"Come this way, my son,"--"Come this way, my daughter?" |
30449 | Instead of Peter watching one short hour in Gethsemane, he fell asleep, and the Lord asked him,"What, could ye not watch with Me one hour?" |
30449 | Is He not able to do what He came for? |
30449 | Is any reader waiting for some strange feeling-- you do not know what? |
30449 | Is it the beautiful furniture and stately rooms? |
30449 | Is it the pearly gates or the golden streets? |
30449 | Is it true that you have forgotten Me so soon?" |
30449 | Is not God the same to- day as when you came to Him first? |
30449 | Is not that a new birth?" |
30449 | Is not that a picture of Regeneration? |
30449 | Is that not enough to convince you that He loves you? |
30449 | Is that there?" |
30449 | Is there a man or a woman on the face of the earth who has not sinned since becoming a Christian? |
30449 | Is there anything more like hell on earth? |
30449 | Is your heart so hard that you can brace yourself up against His love, and spurn and despise it? |
30449 | It is composed of those who are convinced of sin and from whom the cry comes as from the Philippian jailer,"What must I do to be saved?" |
30449 | Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" |
30449 | Like Peter we have said,"To whom shall we go?" |
30449 | Many who came to your city years ago serving God, in their prosperity have forgotten Him: and where are their sons and daughters? |
30449 | Now if God has got hold of my right hand in His, can not He hold me and keep me? |
30449 | Now, has not God a right to make a law that all those who become heirs of eternal life must be"born"into His kingdom? |
30449 | O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? |
30449 | Others say,"I am trying to do what is right-- am I not a Christian? |
30449 | Some ask:"How am I to get my heart warmed?" |
30449 | Some men will meet you and say,"Did not Elisha also raise the dead?" |
30449 | Some one will ask"Have all God''s people Assurance?" |
30449 | Suppose that he was poor, dirty and ragged, shoeless and coatless, what would she do? |
30449 | Suppose the news had reached him that he was cast off, and that his father did not care for him any more, would he have gone back? |
30449 | The Lord said,"Shall I hide from Abraham the things which I do?" |
30449 | The Master might have turned and said to him,"Is it true, Peter, that you have forgotten Me so soon? |
30449 | The cry would be,"What''s the matter?" |
30449 | The governor was surprised to find him so fond of the flowers, and he said,"Can you tell me why you like these flowers so much?" |
30449 | The language of your heart will be,"To whom shall we go,"but unto Thee? |
30449 | The stranger said,"How do you know one from the other? |
30449 | Then she went to the doctor and she said:"Will you let me go to the ward and nurse my boy?" |
30449 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
30449 | There is never any deliberation,''May we build here?'' |
30449 | There you read:"Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? |
30449 | To whom did Christ utter these words of wisdom? |
30449 | Was he a drunkard, a gambler, or a thief? |
30449 | Well now, if He is a mere man, how can He be there? |
30449 | Well then, you will ask, what is Repentance? |
30449 | Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? |
30449 | What brought the prodigal home? |
30449 | What does it mean? |
30449 | What has a sacrament to do with that? |
30449 | What has going to church to do with being born again? |
30449 | What has not struck you?" |
30449 | What has that to do with being born again? |
30449 | What is it which these witness against thee? |
30449 | What is it?" |
30449 | What is the judgment about such self- righteous persons? |
30449 | What makes home attractive? |
30449 | What prompted God to give up Christ?--what prompted Christ to die?--if it were not love? |
30449 | What was Christ''s motive? |
30449 | What will make Heaven attractive? |
30449 | When they were about to put out this light, what did Christ say to His disciples? |
30449 | When they were mocking Him and deriding Him, what did He say? |
30449 | Wherefore didst thou doubt?" |
30449 | Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and take up thy bed and walk?" |
30449 | Who can fathom the depth of those words:"God so loved the world?" |
30449 | Who can tell the gulf between life and death? |
30449 | Who could lead the children of Israel through the wilderness like the Almighty God Himself? |
30449 | Who ever heard of the sheep going to bring back the shepherd? |
30449 | Who is he that condemneth? |
30449 | Who is he that condemneth?''" |
30449 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
30449 | Who was Nicodemus? |
30449 | Why do n''t you preach him? |
30449 | Why do people commit suicide? |
30449 | Will God demand payment twice of the debt which Christ has paid for us? |
30449 | Will you trample His love under your feet? |
30449 | Would he be happy if God forgave him in this state of mind? |
30449 | Would it not grieve me to have my boy doubt me? |
30449 | Would she wait till he was washed and decently clothed before she would acknowledge him? |
30449 | Would that be honoring me? |
30449 | Would you say to him,"Well, I forgive you,"and leave the matter there? |

37540 | Who will plant the grain or the vine, if the field or the vineyard is to be an open pasture, which any idler may waste? |
37540 | Who will work, if his gains are not secured to him and his children? |
37540 | Who would have withstood Herod, if the mother heart of Christianity had withheld its guardianship? |
37540 | Whose heart does not yearn with sacred remembrances and affections to- day? |
37540 | Why all this infatuated excess in dress? |
37540 | Why be irritated if every thing is not done precisely to our liking? |
37540 | Why be unwilling to bestow it on the less favored? |
37540 | Why should it not? |
37540 | Yet what is more frequent than such wrong indirectly done? |
37540 | and where is man to be found in such perfection, as in the great centres where men congregate? |
37540 | for what so fitly stands at the head of the moral code, as the law that puts order into the household? |
37540 | how redeem the most susceptible years from frivolity and extravagance? |
37540 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
37540 | then you may see, have you not seen, springs of living water gushing from the dusty pavements which you tread? |
37540 | what more essential to efficient action? |
45795 | All right, my good woman,the atheist answered,"what is it then?" |
45795 | There is nothing extraordinary about this stone,a friend remarked,"what peculiarity do you notice?" |
45795 | What do I notice? |
45795 | What do you mean by that? |
45795 | What do you want me to give you? |
45795 | Yes, of course,General Sherman answered,"but-- are you a Christian, Howard?" |
45795 | Yes, yes, very well,the king said,"but then next to God?" |
45795 | ***** King Charles IX of France once asked the Italian poet, Tasso:"Who, think you, is the happiest?" |
45795 | ***** Mother-- do I remember her? |
45795 | ***** On another occasion I heard the widow ask one of the pall- bearers when we turned away from the grave:"How did you like that sermon?" |
45795 | 42 WHAT ABOUT THE DEVIL? |
45795 | A little later he said:"I ai n''t forgotten how to pray-- want to hear me?" |
45795 | Almost astonished I ask myself: Is it possible? |
45795 | And what did I say? |
45795 | And what would happen to themselves? |
45795 | And why? |
45795 | Are not the English the great commercial nation which embraces the earth with its countless ships? |
45795 | Are they to get the upper hand? |
45795 | Are wind and currents adhering to other laws in our days, or has their effect been changed? |
45795 | At which of these altars will you pray and praise?_ The eyes of everyone look toward America as never before:"O, America! |
45795 | But can He, the fair judge, condemn me for that which I disavow and separate myself from, what I personally oppose? |
45795 | But has not the miracle, this unrestrained action of the powers, disappeared from the church? |
45795 | But here, too, the words of the Lord apply:"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" |
45795 | But how about you? |
45795 | But how were the following days? |
45795 | But how, then, could the angels sing as they did that Christmas night? |
45795 | But if we ask further: Whence and from what? |
45795 | But is that all to which the brief, sorrow- laden moments can guide and help us? |
45795 | But what would it profit America if she won the rank of a leader among nations through her strength and wealth? |
45795 | But you ask: Dare I, a single individual, try to shoulder the burdens in my home, in the church? |
45795 | But, now suppose that it was n''t Life, but you_ yourself_ that were to blame? |
45795 | But, of what are they tokens? |
45795 | But, then, tell me: Have you not at times felt the nearness of Jesus? |
45795 | But_ you_ do n''t behave like that, do you? |
45795 | Did you throw your arms around his neck-- did you_ smile_ at him, saying: My dear, stay home with us tonight? |
45795 | Do you listen only to that which is carried to you by the wind of the evil tongues? |
45795 | Do you notice only the uncouth exterior? |
45795 | Does man possess other secrets than those of the darkness? |
45795 | Had he told them a striking joke which could not be commented upon, or had he stated a cleverly formulated truth which they could not resist? |
45795 | Has not England the very same qualifications? |
45795 | Have you had similar experiences? |
45795 | Have you not also in such moments felt a truer, a more sincere and deeper disgust with the evil character of sin, than otherwise? |
45795 | How about France in our own age? |
45795 | How about Jesus Christ when He,_ all alone_, bore the sin of mankind? |
45795 | How could that be? |
45795 | How do you look at the people among whom you live? |
45795 | How does the river get these immense masses of water? |
45795 | How many unbelieving physicians have not sworn as drastically as did the sailor, that they could not share the Christian faith in resurrection? |
45795 | How shall we approach the struggle of the twentieth century? |
45795 | How was that? |
45795 | I ask: Who is building this place? |
45795 | I asked: What makes you so calm? |
45795 | In what way did you tell him this when you asked him last to stay at home? |
45795 | Is it possible that I who found myself placed between fear and doubt, conquer both by the word of faith? |
45795 | Is n''t this a strange way of speaking? |
45795 | Is the law of nature violated, or is it rendered ineffective? |
45795 | Is this truth to remain? |
45795 | It is as when I ask someone: Do you know the ocean? |
45795 | It must have been a sore trial for them to think how God''s people had come under a foreign yoke: Was n''t, then, all hope dead? |
45795 | Just then their old grandmother who was sick abed in the next room, said:"O, girls, wo n''t one of you come and scratch my back?" |
45795 | Nay-- who would really be able to let the harp chords burst out in a song of joy-- under_ such conditions_? |
45795 | Nevertheless-- do you think Paul speaks aimlessly? |
45795 | Or France-- that liberty- loving nation with its technically wonderfully developed language? |
45795 | Or do you listen to the undertow in the depths of the heart, to the heaving sighs, the hollow roaring from within? |
45795 | Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? |
45795 | Or is n''t it rather the case that there is something of_ relief_ in bearing burdens for others-- something of a_ gain_? |
45795 | Or was the charity of the auditors so far- seeing that it rejoiced in behalf of generations yet unborn? |
45795 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
45795 | Or, will the development favor a retention of the native languages of the various nationalities here together with English? |
45795 | Or, you claim that you have a good Father in Heaven who can do everything: How is it, then, that He lets His children suffer distress on earth? |
45795 | Paul then asks:"Is it lawful to scourge a man that is a Roman?" |
45795 | SEEST THOU THIS WOMAN? |
45795 | Seest thou this man? |
45795 | Somewhat doubtfully, the chaplain asked him:"What can you pray?" |
45795 | THE WORTH OF YOUR SOUL"FOR what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
45795 | The Christmas Angels: Dost Thou Remember? |
45795 | The Hidden Life 28 THE WORTH OF YOUR SOUL 32 THAT WHICH IS HIDDEN SHALL BE REVEALED 36 NOT IN WORD, NEITHER IN TONGUE 39 SEEST THOU THIS WOMAN? |
45795 | The others left it all to me, although they had the same obligations that I have-- what then? |
45795 | Then an old woman, her back bent with the weariness of life and years, arose, saying:"Sir, I have a question to ask you?" |
45795 | Then it was as though a kind and soothing voice whispered into my ear: Dost thou remember Christmas Eve at home? |
45795 | There was love for Jesus._ Seest thou this woman? |
45795 | WHAT ABOUT THE DEVIL? |
45795 | Was it a matter of distance only? |
45795 | Was it a series of happenings without aim, without meaning? |
45795 | Was it not as though the twinkling stars were smiling at him-- calling him, as it were? |
45795 | Was n''t He the same one whom John the Baptist had spoken of as the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world? |
45795 | Was not He like a luminous star in your life? |
45795 | Was not He your soul''s refuge in the darkness? |
45795 | Was not the world filled with war and disturbances in those days, too? |
45795 | Was not the world full of souls in quest of lost peace? |
45795 | Was that an evil power which from without, by chance, disrupted our life? |
45795 | Was there room for him up there? |
45795 | Was this, too,_ planned_ by the God of Israel? |
45795 | Well, who believes in it nowadays? |
45795 | What happens then? |
45795 | What is the reason for this? |
45795 | What is your choice? |
45795 | What profited it Germany that she possessed her soul- less mechanical attainments, even though they were ever so wonderful and marvelous? |
45795 | What shall I do, then? |
45795 | What shall we do? |
45795 | What should he do? |
45795 | What then? |
45795 | What were they doing, then? |
45795 | What would it have profited Germany to have gained the whole world when she would lose her soul thereby? |
45795 | When problems of world significance were to be settled, the question was asked: What does America say about it? |
45795 | Where shall I seek refuge? |
45795 | Where shall I seek that explanation which reconciles me with the word of the Lord, and which brings peace into my soul? |
45795 | Who were they? |
45795 | Who would have known how to plan thus? |
45795 | Who would have the strength to subdue and master the giant powers? |
45795 | Why is it that America has superior qualifications? |
45795 | Why? |
45795 | Will I accomplish anything but being crushed under the weight of the burdens? |
45795 | Will her future brighten? |
45795 | Will there not be very little to bring forth in the way of good secrets from the recesses of the heart? |
45795 | Wonder if the ambulance is n''t coming soon? |
45795 | Would n''t any mother''s heart break when she had to witness her son die the death of a condemned criminal? |
45795 | Would no one find him? |
45795 | You are a Christian,"Sherman added;"well-- what do you say?" |
45795 | You often hear it said: You claim that God loveth mankind: But why, then, does_ He_ let some suffer in all eternity? |
45795 | Your eye had detected her faults and shortcomings rather than her good points? |
45795 | _ The Christmas Angel''s: Dost thou remember?_ I WAS sitting in my study. |
45795 | _ The scoffers had nothing more to say!_ What had Mr. Moeller- Anderson done which made them silent? |
45795 | _ Water into wine!_ Is that really contrary to nature? |
45795 | _ What terms do you choose?_ 3. |
45795 | _ You are a Christian._ We ask, almost as surprised as O. O. Howard: What do you mean by that, Lord? |
14237 | Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister unto them who shall be the heirs of salvation? |
14237 | Can a mother forget her sucking child? |
14237 | Dost thou live, man, dost thou live, or only breathe and labor? 14237 For what knowest, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? |
14237 | For what then was I born? 14237 Go ask that musing father, why yon grave So narrow, and so noteless, might not close Without a tear?" |
14237 | How can two walk together except they be agreed? |
14237 | How can two walk together except they he agreed? |
14237 | How can two walk together, except they be agreed? |
14237 | I gaze on your bright track; I hear your lessening voices as they go; Have ye no sign, no solace to fling back To those who toil below? 14237 If ye count society for past time,--what happier recreation than a nursling, Its winning ways, its prattling tongue, its innocence and mirth? |
14237 | Is it a fair, fond thought, That you may still our friends and guardians be; And heaven''s high ministry by you be wrought With objects low as we? 14237 May we not secretly hope, That you around our path and bed may dwell? |
14237 | Not there? 14237 Shall not your gentle voice Break on temptation''s dark and sullen mood, Subdue our erring will, o''errule our choice, And win from ill to good? |
14237 | Shall we not feel you near In hours of danger, solitude, and pain, Cheering the darkness, drying off the tear And turning loss to gain? 14237 Surely ye note us here, Though not as we appear to mortal view, And can we still, with all our stains, be dear To spirits pure as you? |
14237 | The same fond mother bent at night O''er each fair sleeping brow; She had each folded flower in sight-- Where are those dreamers now? 14237 Turn ye, turn ye; for why will ye die?" |
14237 | What could a mother''s prayer, In all the wildest ecstacy of hope, Ask for her darling like the bliss of heaven? |
14237 | What do you mean? |
14237 | What fellowship hath light with darkness? |
14237 | What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 14237 What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
14237 | What is in a name? |
14237 | What shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
14237 | What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
14237 | Who loves,says William Jay,"to take his meat from a leprous hand?" |
14237 | Who would not be an infant now, To breathe an infant''s prayer? 14237 Whom have I in heaven but thee?" |
14237 | Why hire a lodging in a house unknown, For one whose tenderest thoughts all hover round your own? 14237 Would you your son should be a sot and a dunce, Lascivious, headstrong, or all these at once? |
14237 | *****"Why, memory, cling thus to life''s jocund morning? |
14237 | A minister was once asked,"Do you not believe christianity upon its evidences?" |
14237 | Am I able to support a family? |
14237 | And are they not more suitable for the Christian home than any other? |
14237 | And are you, then, in your marriage, agreed to walk with the unbeliever in the broad road of sin and death? |
14237 | And do you think that, continuing thus, you will be admitted into that heavenly home where there is one unbroken voice of prayer and praise to God? |
14237 | And further, can you spend your time to better purpose than in family prayer? |
14237 | And if this church- founding sacrament brings your child into a living and saving relation to the church, then why deny it that baptism? |
14237 | And in doing this for God, are you not also doing it for the child,--yea, if you are Christian parents,--for yourselves? |
14237 | And is it not a matter of daily observation that the wickedness of the parent is entailed upon the child? |
14237 | And is not their influence as salutary? |
14237 | And shall any other kind save Christian habits, be found in the Christian home? |
14237 | And shall not all, our blessings brighter drop From hands we loved so well? |
14237 | And shall we refuse the tribute of sorrow to the memory of those dear ones who sleep beneath the sod? |
14237 | And the Lord said unto him, who hath made man''s mouth? |
14237 | And the question at once arises, what kind of a whip? |
14237 | And then in the dark hour of home separation and bereavement, when the question is put to thee, mourning parents,"Is it well with the child? |
14237 | And then what will become of your child if he is ignorant of any pursuit in which to engage for a subsistence? |
14237 | And was the only victim thou couldst find, An infant in its mother''s arms reclined?" |
14237 | And were not Lois and Eunice rewarded for their faithfulness to young Timothy? |
14237 | And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? |
14237 | And what is home? |
14237 | And what then is the first joyful cry of the fond parents, after the solemn ceremony is ended? |
14237 | And who are they that are dying without hope and without God? |
14237 | And why is this so often done? |
14237 | And will not the curse rest upon you? |
14237 | And will not the day soon come when you must"give an account of your stewardship?" |
14237 | And yet with the plainest teachings of the gospel before them, is it not strange that there are so many virulent enemies to infant baptism? |
14237 | And, tell me, does the true Christian desire any other than a Christian home? |
14237 | Are they not as beautiful as other names? |
14237 | Are we complemental to each other? |
14237 | Are we congenial in spirit, sentiment, principle, cultivation, education, morals and religion? |
14237 | Are you ashamed of your children? |
14237 | Are you not, Christian parents, responsible to God for the exercise of such sovereign power over the character and well- being of your dear children? |
14237 | Art thou free, or enslaved to a routine, the daily machinery of habit? |
14237 | As a family we daily need and receive mercies, daily sin, are tempted and in danger every day; why not then as a family daily pray? |
14237 | As infants, therefore, are subjects of grace, why not subjects also of baptism? |
14237 | As they are included in the covenant, why not enter it by the divinely constituted sacrament of initiation? |
14237 | As they are included in the plan of salvation, why not receive it in a churchly way? |
14237 | Ashamed of what? |
14237 | Because they desire to bring them into the fold and bosom of the church, and place them in saving relations to the means of grace? |
14237 | Because they wish to express their vows of dedication in that sacramental form and way which God has appointed? |
14237 | Besides, is it not the right, yea, the duty of parents to bias their children in favor of the religious creed of the parental home? |
14237 | But if out of Christ there is no salvation, then tell me, how will infants be saved? |
14237 | But if they had lived, might they not also have been a source of the deepest sorrow and misery? |
14237 | But was it such? |
14237 | But what is family prayer? |
14237 | But what_ is_ home,--home in the sphere of nature? |
14237 | But why neglect family prayer? |
14237 | Can I discharge the duties of a household? |
14237 | Can he be the head of a Christian home? |
14237 | Can he think of that mother''s prayers and teachings and tears of solicitude, and not feel deeply, and often savingly, his own guilt and ingratitude? |
14237 | Can saint and sinner be of one mind, one spirit, one life, one hope, one interest? |
14237 | Can the irreligious parent bring up his offspring"in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?" |
14237 | Can the ungodly wife or husband fulfill this mission? |
14237 | Can there be family religion when husband and wife are traveling to eternity in opposite roads? |
14237 | Can these now walk together, live in harmony, when so widely different in spirit, in their aims and pursuits? |
14237 | Can these walk together, in domestic union and harmony? |
14237 | Can they reflect upon their daughters for forming improper attachments and alliances? |
14237 | Can they wonder if their sons become desperadoes, and ridicule the religion of their parents? |
14237 | Can this be right? |
14237 | Can we sympathize and work harmoniously together in mind and heart and will and taste? |
14237 | Could I be happy with such an one? |
14237 | Dare you reverse the divine procedure which God has ordained for the salvation of His people? |
14237 | Did not God punish the first born of Israel, because their fathers had sinned? |
14237 | Did not the Spartan mother and her home give character to the Spartan nation? |
14237 | Did they go to these places under the holy influence of devout and faithful parents? |
14237 | Do not the tears of the Christian home reflect the tears of Jesus? |
14237 | Do we not love it? |
14237 | Do you desire to refine and elevate their souls with beauty and sublimity? |
14237 | Do you love yourself? |
14237 | Do you permit your sick to die rather than to inflict the pain of giving them the medicine to cure? |
14237 | Do you regard your own comfort and welfare? |
14237 | Do you wish them to come under the influence of eloquent oration? |
14237 | Do you wish to inspire them with song? |
14237 | Does not the parent''s faith forbid the intrusion of a doctrine so revolting as this? |
14237 | Does the gospel place them under such a ban of proscription? |
14237 | Dr. Johnson was once asked,"Who is the most miserable man?" |
14237 | From the faithful Christian home? |
14237 | HOME AS A STEWARDSHIP.--What is a Steward? |
14237 | Had they pious fathers and mothers? |
14237 | Have Parents a right to take any part in the Marriage Choice of their Children? |
14237 | Have not I the Lord? |
14237 | Have parents a right to take any part in the marriage choice and alliance of their children? |
14237 | Have they a right to interfere in any respect with the marriage of their children? |
14237 | Have thoughts and associations like these no demoralizing influence? |
14237 | Have you no time? |
14237 | Have you, pious mother, as you pressed your child to your bosom, ever thought that it would one day be a witness for or against you? |
14237 | Here is a habit of action: is it godly? |
14237 | Here is a habit of conversation: is it holy? |
14237 | Here, for instance, is a habit being formed,--habit of thought: is it pure? |
14237 | How can he bring up his children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord? |
14237 | How can parents admonish their children against novel reading after they have taken their names from novels? |
14237 | How can the unbeliever return, like David, to bless his household? |
14237 | How soon may beauty fade; and what then, if it was the only basis of your marriage choice? |
14237 | If Christ is the Saviour of infants, why not bring them to Him through baptism? |
14237 | If our tent- home stirs up within us imperishable joys, by the power of anticipation and foretaste, what joy will not that better land afford? |
14237 | If so, then are we not responsible for our habits? |
14237 | If so, then is it not plain that baptism goes before the self- conscious faith of the subject? |
14237 | If so, then why object to infant baptism? |
14237 | If the members of your household may he ruined here by a bad example, what will be its consequences in the eternal world? |
14237 | If"out of the mouths of babes and sucklings God has perfected praise,"then why not train them up to praise Him? |
14237 | Is it all of home, religious culture to bias them to a particular creed? |
14237 | Is it for money you have them led to the bridal altar? |
14237 | Is it not, therefore, a matter of momentous interest to the Christian home, that it establish habits of the right kind and quality? |
14237 | Is it possible that a book at once so simple and sublime, can be the work, of men?" |
14237 | Is not every privilege a duty? |
14237 | Is not true piety of more importance than education, affluence or social distinction? |
14237 | Is such, Christian brother, the sympathy of your home? |
14237 | Is that person suited for me? |
14237 | Is this always so? |
14237 | Is this the will of God? |
14237 | It involves the great question, what should Christian parents leave to their children as a true inheritance from the Christian home? |
14237 | No languid wretch who long''d, but long''d in vain, For thy cold hand to cool his fiery pain? |
14237 | O, who would linger, Fainting, fearing, and athirst, When before us lies a region Where undying pleasures burst?" |
14237 | Oh, what is home without a title to, and personal meetness for, that kingdom? |
14237 | Oh, what is life without these? |
14237 | Or tell that the buds of the heart at the dawning, Were destined to wither and perish at noon? |
14237 | Passed to your glorious rest so swiftly on, And left me weeping here? |
14237 | Shall the Christian parent and child disregard this prohibition of God? |
14237 | Should Parents Banish and Disinherit Children for their Marrying against their will? |
14237 | Should Persons Marry Outside of their Own Branch of the Church? |
14237 | Should he imitate thee in thine evil? |
14237 | Show me a child undutiful, I shall know where to look for a foolish father; But how can that son reverence an example he dare not follow? |
14237 | Speak in an angry tone before your child; and what will it avail for you to admonish him against anger? |
14237 | Tell me now, will not God hold these parents responsible for the ruin of their children? |
14237 | Tell me then, can you be faithful to these vows and obligations without family prayer? |
14237 | Tell me, does not this view dilate the parent''s heart, and make him thankful that he has a sainted child in heaven? |
14237 | Tell me, is it worse to bias their minds to a particular creed, than to let them grow up biased to the world, to the Devil and all his works? |
14237 | Tell me, is there not a bond of sympathy between Jesus and His people here,--between loved ones in heaven and their pious kindred on earth? |
14237 | Tell me, who are those that are there? |
14237 | They seem to be impressed with the strange idea that their wives and children put no confidence in their piety,( and may they not have reason for it?) |
14237 | Think ye not, dear ones, in brighter bowers above, Of those you left below? |
14237 | Think you that God will not answer and bless your prayers? |
14237 | Those who were"trained up in the way they should go?" |
14237 | To be Christians, must the unnumbered memories of life be all without a tear? |
14237 | To be one in a full procession?--to dig my kindred clay? |
14237 | To decorate the gallery of art? |
14237 | To walk this chequered world, alternate light and darkness, The day- dreams of deep thought followed by the night- dreams of fancy? |
14237 | WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN HOME? |
14237 | What are now the different kinds or parts of home- education? |
14237 | What are some of these means? |
14237 | What are some of these? |
14237 | What are the natural elements of home- sympathy? |
14237 | What children are more desolate and more to be pitied than the motherless ones? |
14237 | What communion hath light with darkness? |
14237 | What have our schools now to do with the propensities, appetites, temperaments, habits and character of the pupils? |
14237 | What is Home- Influence? |
14237 | What is home- education? |
14237 | What is it? |
14237 | What is the mere secular, without such a religious education? |
14237 | What is the_ Christian_ home? |
14237 | What is their history? |
14237 | What is"family religion?" |
14237 | What made Daniel steadfast amidst all the efforts to heathenize him during his captivity in Babylon? |
14237 | What more could you do and hope for your children than to offer up supplications for them to God? |
14237 | What mother, prompted by such sympathy, can be recreant to the duties of her household? |
14237 | What now has been the result? |
14237 | What now is the extent, and what are the duties of that right to interfere? |
14237 | What orations so eloquent as those of the prophets, of Christ, and of his apostles? |
14237 | What part hath he that believeth with an infidel? |
14237 | What part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" |
14237 | What says the infidel Rosseau? |
14237 | What shall it profit the family if its members gain the whole world and lose their own souls? |
14237 | What songs are like those of Zion? |
14237 | What then is the mission, of the Christian home? |
14237 | What thronging memories come? |
14237 | What will baptism avail, so far as the parents are concerned, without this dedication of their children to Him in whose name they are baptised? |
14237 | What will the acts of the gospel minister avail if they are not preceded by an offering of himself to the Lord who has called him? |
14237 | What would Christian parents give in exchange for the souls of their little ones? |
14237 | What would the Christian home be, therefore, without such sympathy? |
14237 | What, for instance, is there about such names as Nero, Caesar, Pompey, Punch, that would remind you that you were in a Christian home? |
14237 | What, oh, what, if you had not the assurance of the salvation of all infants? |
14237 | What, therefore, besides wealth, should be the children''s patrimony from the Christian home? |
14237 | When I learned that thou wast dead, Say, wast thou conscious of the tears I shed? |
14237 | Where did they come from? |
14237 | Where, then, is he? |
14237 | Who are they that now throng the regions of the damned? |
14237 | Who but she can smooth the pillow and soothe the anguish of the child of affliction? |
14237 | Who can forget a mother, or lose those impressions which her death made upon our deeply stricken hearts? |
14237 | Who can forget the family bible? |
14237 | Who can read the following beautiful lines of Cowper, and-- if the memory of a sainted mother is awakened by them,--not weep? |
14237 | Who does not feel this influence of home upon all his habits of life? |
14237 | Who does not perceive and acknowledge the evil of such a course? |
14237 | Who has not felt this power of habit? |
14237 | Who has not wept over some habits which haunt him like an evil spirit; and rejoiced over others as a safeguard from sin and a propellor to good? |
14237 | Who that wears the name of a man can be indifferent here? |
14237 | Who touch the strings that rule the soul? |
14237 | Who will doubt its application to the Christian home? |
14237 | Who will not admit that it is an act of real kindness for God to remove little children from this world, and at once take them as His own in heaven? |
14237 | Who would venture to judge a person by his mechanical movements in the parlor? |
14237 | Who, even in the hour of agony, would forget the friend over whom he mourns? |
14237 | Who, then, is that faithful and wise steward whom his Lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? |
14237 | Whom, think you, will the children follow? |
14237 | Why do many parents have their children baptized? |
14237 | Why make that babe of yours a mere plaything? |
14237 | Why not adopt scriptural names for them? |
14237 | Why not for the very same reason refuse to teach them, to have them pray, to bring them up to church service? |
14237 | Why point to its treasures exhausted too soon? |
14237 | Why? |
14237 | Will any one deny the extent of such a spirit in the church and homes of the present day? |
14237 | Will money make your children happy? |
14237 | Will not such parents be denounced in the day of judgment as unjust and unfaithful stewards? |
14237 | Will not the"blood of their destruction rest upon them?" |
14237 | Will not the"voice of that blood"cry out from their family against them? |
14237 | Will that character make my home happy? |
14237 | Will the children of God not hesitate to marry the children of the devil? |
14237 | Will you ridicule this fundamental principle of Christian marriage? |
14237 | Would not this be cruel? |
14237 | Would the mother, if she could, forget the child that slumbers beneath the flower- crowned sod of the family cemetery? |
14237 | Would you avoid painful solicitude, bitter reflection, heart- burning remorse, dreadful foreboding? |
14237 | Would you remove him from those rivers of delight to this dry and thirsty land? |
14237 | Would you, now, that this inhabitant of heaven should be degraded to earth again? |
14237 | Yea, why not deny to them salvation itself? |
14237 | and where, but with the loving?" |
14237 | do they think of me to- day, The loved ones lingering there; Do they think of the outcast far away, And breathe for me a prayer? |
14237 | exclaimed,"Six and eighty years have I served Him, and He has done me nothing but good; and how could I curse Him, my Lord and Saviour?" |
14237 | from that land of love, Look ye not sometimes on this world of wo? |
14237 | is it well with thee?" |
14237 | of the true glory and greatness of your home? |
14237 | of your children? |
14237 | of your piety? |
14237 | or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" |
14237 | or, who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? |
14237 | thou dread looser of the dearest tie, Was there no aged and no sick one nigh? |
14237 | to clear a few acres of forest? |
14237 | to fill the circling year With daily toil for daily bread, with sordid pains and pleasures? |
14237 | what can feeble friendship say, To soothe the anguish of this mournful day? |
14237 | what if it be exerted for the ruin of your loved ones, and they"curse the day you begat them?" |
14237 | what think you of this? |
14237 | who shall bring out from the secrets of the eternal world, those awful maledictions which God has attached to parental unfaithfulness? |
14237 | why keep the pilgrim here? |
14237 | why will you thus abuse the loveliest and noblest part of your child? |
39283 | Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? 39283 The holy teachers of all nations:"was our blessed Lord but one of them? |
39283 | Who then can be saved? |
39283 | Ye have wearied the Lord with your words;( yes, and some of His people too, in your time),"yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied Him? |
39283 | ),"Can this Gospel of Christ be put into such plain words and short terms as that a plain man may understand it?" |
39283 | --What does the sea beget? |
39283 | After using fourteen words where seven would have done, what is it that the whole speech gets said with its much speaking? |
39283 | Again, what is meant by the Gospel of Christ not according to anybody? |
39283 | Again, what is the will of the Lord, and what does Mr. Ruskin mean by proclaiming it? |
39283 | And have we not felt our utter powerlessness, whether by public preaching or by private monition, to find a way to those case- hardened hearts? |
39283 | And if so, does it further mean that all matters of doctrine, such as are defined in the Thirty- nine Articles, are of this nature? |
39283 | And if, with regard to the land question, any readjustment of relations is made, will it not be made in the light of the same beneficent principle? |
39283 | And therefore shall we boldly dare to say that they perish altogether and for ever? |
39283 | And to come to the Christian law, we have the mild general principle:"If ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? |
39283 | And to this the suggested answer is( whom does it offend? |
39283 | And what kind of wickedness is to be so visited? |
39283 | Antonio, in"The Merchant of Venice,"asks:"When did friendship take A_ breed_ of barren metal of his friend?" |
39283 | Are there many who would allow that they were"salaried"by the State at all? |
39283 | Are we free, or are we bound? |
39283 | Are we( Mr. Ruskin implies, Are we_ not_?) |
39283 | Are you not bid to go into_ all_ the world and preach it to every creature? |
39283 | But I will see Mr.---- if he has any other reason than curiosity for wishing to see me-- what does he want with me? |
39283 | But are there many of the clergy who would say,"I am an attached and salaried servant of the State, and nothing more?" |
39283 | But can we not all remember when it was just as certain that free trade in food was impracticable? |
39283 | But he asks,"Do we look upon ourselves as attached to any particular State, and bound to the promulgation of any particular tenets?" |
39283 | But is this_ all_ the Gospel? |
39283 | But taking this Alpine illustration for what it may be worth, we may ask,"What does it mean?" |
39283 | But what are the doctrines that stand in this relation, or this no- relation, to the spiritual life? |
39283 | But who shall say that he is wrong? |
39283 | But will the most incessant prayer, individual, combined, or congregational, ever bring us to perfection? |
39283 | Do not most look on it merely in the light of the statute on swearing? |
39283 | Do the conditions attached to the emoluments we receive prohibit us from holding or teaching any other opinions than those we have subscribed to? |
39283 | Do you wish to hear or read my comments before they are printed? |
39283 | Does anyone suppose that money ought to lie idle and unprofitable? |
39283 | Does he ask the same question of the clergy of any other portion of the Catholic Church? |
39283 | Does he mean that we are each to set up a theology-- a Church of his own? |
39283 | Does not an unwillingness to accept the true divinity of our Lord underlie this passage? |
39283 | Does our experience of human nature teach that a sense of gratitude for benefits received is a good security for honourable conduct? |
39283 | Does that expression mean,"England, with all thy faults, I love thee still"? |
39283 | Does the question imply that there are points of science on which it is of no consequence what opinions a teacher holds? |
39283 | For instance, a friend wrote to me the other day,"Will you not come here? |
39283 | Have you done no work in the vineyard''yet''then? |
39283 | Have you ever taught your congregations what that confession means? |
39283 | Have your congregations ever been referred to those sundry places? |
39283 | He who gets an estate by purchase, shall he not from that money derive an annual profit? |
39283 | Hence Mr. Ruskin interposes:"Are you so sure that it_ was_ the will of God that your child should die, or that you should have got into that trouble?" |
39283 | How do we betray it? |
39283 | How do we fulfil the hope in our lives? |
39283 | How many of your congregations can make any such kind of confession, or wish to make it? |
39283 | How shall a man, though at the highest he be"but a little lower than the angels,"know and comprehend the Godhead in its true and exact nature? |
39283 | I may say at once that I am sure it will do much good, and will be upright and intelligible, which how few religious writings are? |
39283 | If Christ had been perfectly insensible to the allurements of sin, where would be His fellow- feeling with us? |
39283 | If He knew nothing of sin from experience of its power, how could He be an example to us? |
39283 | In study of the Word of God? |
39283 | In understanding that will, and doing it, and striving to get it done( knowing their duty and doing it, and it alone)? |
39283 | In what sense is a clergyman like a Chamouni guide? |
39283 | Is it any otherwise with the Third Commandment? |
39283 | Is it meant that all theology should be swept away like a dusty old cobweb? |
39283 | Is it not so evolving itself? |
39283 | Is it whether the clergy are or are not teachers of universal science? |
39283 | Is not Mr. Ruskin, perhaps, after all, only advocating a return to primitive usage? |
39283 | Is not every one of its petitions for a perfect state? |
39283 | Is not every word of it true-- severely and austerely true,--but still true? |
39283 | Is not this the first of all questions which a Clerical Council has to answer in open terms? |
39283 | Is silver brought forth from the walls and the roof? |
39283 | Is this an edifying spectacle for the Malagasy? |
39283 | Its probable meaning is,"Is it not desirable that religious teaching should be divested of any mysteries?" |
39283 | MY DEAR PENRHYN,--Will you please to thank Mr. Malleson on my behalf for the Letters on the Lord''s Prayer? |
39283 | Must we keep all other Christians at arm''s length? |
39283 | My first letter contained a Layman''s plea for a clear answer to the question,"What is a clergyman of the Church of England?" |
39283 | Namely: as clergymen of the Church of England, do they consider themselves to be so called merely as the attached servants of a particular state? |
39283 | Of course you would never think of investing in consols, in railway shares, or dock- bonds, would you? |
39283 | On the other hand, can anything be more tremendous than the words themselves-- double- negatived:"[ Greek: ou gar mê katharisê... kurios]"? |
39283 | On the platform we occupy do we allow none but English Churchmen to stand? |
39283 | Or do we enjoy a reasonable amount of liberty and no more? |
39283 | Replies some slow- witted preacher:"Where is the difficulty? |
39283 | Right; but how many of any extant or instant congregations understand what the two words mean? |
39283 | Suppose you leave all that till you see what the first debate comes to? |
39283 | Take away these benefits, and what good is done by free lending? |
39283 | The preceding verse, the 26th, may well be understood to be a question-- Didst thou indeed think so? |
39283 | The question set down for solution implies some such inquiries as these: Is not the Church of England merely a Department of the State of England? |
39283 | Then again, what is this new and more than Genevan discipline that the clergyman is to enforce? |
39283 | There must surely be published copies of such extant, though, and worth enquiring after? |
39283 | What do you do with your money? |
39283 | What is a clergyman of the Church of England? |
39283 | What is simpler than beauty? |
39283 | What is that teaching, clearly and simply put? |
39283 | What is the exact question asked in Letter II.? |
39283 | What is the question which is put here so tersely and so pointedly? |
39283 | What is the teaching of the Gospel he is to teach? |
39283 | What is the vast uneducated world to do with these extraordinary forms of religion which are as many- sided and many- faced as their inventors? |
39283 | What the house for which I receive rent? |
39283 | What wonder if he sets too high a value on money? |
39283 | What, then, does true religion require of us if such circumstances make forgiveness impossible? |
39283 | When were you in the same sort of danger? |
39283 | When will the feet of the Priests be dipped in the still brim of the water? |
39283 | When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and He delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?" |
39283 | Whence then is the merchant''s profit? |
39283 | Who would confirm him in his judgment? |
39283 | Who would stand by him in the troubles which he would assuredly entail upon himself? |
39283 | Why is there no such easy summary provided by authority to teach the poor and simple? |
39283 | Why should any letter of mine make you anxious if you had indeed conscience of inspiration? |
39283 | Why should they ask for such, they say, when their trespasses are non- existent? |
39283 | Will they in Parliament? |
39283 | Will they in a ball- room? |
39283 | Will they in a shop? |
39283 | Will this alone"mend the world, forsooth"? |
39283 | Will you kindly now send me back my old book on Usury? |
39283 | Would his churchwardens, his rural dean, his archdeacon, or his bishop? |
39283 | Would you like to print any bits of it? |
39283 | You can not be in any hurry for it surely? |
39283 | [ 24][ 24] Thy heart hath gone too far in this world, and thinkest thou to comprehend the way of the most High? |
39283 | [ 34] Do they suppose it would have been either pleasure or honour to me to come and lecture there? |
39283 | [ 6]"Yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? |
39283 | _ Can_ we then? |
39283 | _ Does_ it so? |
39283 | and is the Protestant pleasanter form one that ca n''t be?) |
39283 | and, instead of a Holy Ghost the Lord and Giver of Life, do you only believe in an unholy mammon, Lord and Giver of Death?" |
39283 | in Divine contemplation, or in devout and thoughtful meditation? |
39283 | must ultimately be always the greater spiritual one:"Children, have ye here any Holy Spirit?" |
39283 | or, is it used in the same sense as"attached to the staff"? |
39283 | or,"Have ye not heard yet whether there_ be_ any? |
39283 | to your lawyer or doctor?" |
39283 | what at first sight more incapable of analysis? |
39283 | what is it?" |
39283 | what more universally apprehended? |
39283 | you would not lend money upon mortgage, or exact rent for your household and landed property? |
44441 | And what, forsooth, have you there? 44441 How,"he asks,"can a man be born when he is old? |
44441 | Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? |
44441 | Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,''Why hast thou made me thus?'' |
44441 | Shall there be evil in a city and the Lord hath not done it? |
44441 | Should I have been better prepared, sir,the sailor answered,"if I had shirked my duty?" |
44441 | Tell me, father-- tell me, mother, what is there beyond the sky? |
44441 | Were you ready to die that you jumped into the stormy sea to save that child''s life? |
44441 | What is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? 44441 What is liberty?" |
44441 | Again, young men go that they may get forward faster than in old communities-- and who can wonder? |
44441 | Am I to pray for physical blessings and deliverances? |
44441 | Am I to pray only to be made wise, and good, and pure, and true, and holy? |
44441 | Am I to pray then( for men do tell me that I may pray) only for spiritual and for moral gifts? |
44441 | Am I to pray to a law? |
44441 | Am I to pray to a system? |
44441 | Am I to pray to the winds, or to the waves, as men prayed of old? |
44441 | And are you and I exceptions? |
44441 | And does He give comfort to His creatures in order to torment them by its removal? |
44441 | And if He was more than a man shall we not take His own testimony as to His dignity and mission? |
44441 | And is it not so in the spiritual world? |
44441 | And is that all? |
44441 | And now we have seen these, we turn to the third portion of our story; and what is that we see there? |
44441 | And now we turn to the second scene, and what have we there? |
44441 | And the bewildered soul sings:-- And can this mighty King Of glory condescend? |
44441 | And what caused this calamity? |
44441 | And what have we got? |
44441 | And what is equal in persuasive power to the simple utterance of your own intense conviction? |
44441 | And what is the record of our race since? |
44441 | And what mean those wonderful words of His, telling of His intimacy, His sonship, His oneness with the invisible and eternal God? |
44441 | And will He write His name My Father, and my Friend? |
44441 | Are we pilgrims and strangers, worn and weary in our search for the home from which we are exiles? |
44441 | Are we soldiers, beset with foes and required to endure the shocks of battle? |
44441 | Are we voyagers upon a troubled and a dangerous sea? |
44441 | As, then, we turn over the pages of the Bible, must we not say,"The wind of heaven bloweth where it listeth"? |
44441 | But are we, after all, so very helpless before the aggregate of these mighty forces, as materialism loves to represent? |
44441 | But attempt to tell him that beyond is nothing, and not even room for anything, and will he believe you? |
44441 | But can we lay down directions about this and offer suggestions? |
44441 | But how is it in foul weather? |
44441 | But is this any reason for a fierce arraignment of nature, as tho she were execrably ruthless, and execrably indifferent? |
44441 | But is this any reason why we should look on ourselves as victims of dead irresponsible forces? |
44441 | But the Bible asked the question, more than thirty centuries ago,"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?" |
44441 | But the question may arise, can we know the precepts and the statutes that God has given to us? |
44441 | But what beyond? |
44441 | By what arithmetic is such a balance cast? |
44441 | Can he enter a second time into his mother''s womb, and be born?" |
44441 | Can we do no better, after so long a time? |
44441 | Can we wonder if the Judge should say to them when they appear at His seat,"I never knew you"? |
44441 | Could it be, perhaps, that such an one might bring us nearer to the inaccessible Light-- might help us to draw nigh as seeing Him who is invisible? |
44441 | Did He not know it all a hundred thousand ages ago, or ever the earth was?" |
44441 | Did the stranger go with the man to the pool, and keep his eye upon him while he was there? |
44441 | Did the stranger who told the tale know the beggar who was said to have been cured? |
44441 | Do I need to describe these bad ways to you? |
44441 | Do we delight in what strengthened Him? |
44441 | Do we then complain in affliction? |
44441 | Does God, then, build up in order to destroy? |
44441 | Does it not gather all the world in the sweep of its mighty purpose of mercy? |
44441 | Does our work rest upon the basis of inward fellowship with God which underlay His? |
44441 | Does the Bible care about weary people? |
44441 | Does the wind then obey no rule; is it a mere symbol of unfettered caprice? |
44441 | Dost Thou sleep, Lord? |
44441 | For each of us, my hearers, this is the question of questions,"What shall I do with Jesus which is called Christ?" |
44441 | For what reason was there this unusual emotion ere He spoke the word which cleansed? |
44441 | For what reason was there this unwonted slowness in Christ''s healing works? |
44441 | Had Bartimeus considered all these difficulties? |
44441 | Had the stranger examined his eyes the very morning of the day on which he received sight? |
44441 | Have we obeyed or have we disobeyed? |
44441 | Have you ever pondered that dark mystery of human nature, the origin of the frightful idolatries of India? |
44441 | Have you ever realized, with heartfelt gratitude to God, the priceless boon which He has granted to this generation in the diminution of pain? |
44441 | Have you not sometimes wished that you could have had that hundred and fifty- fourth fish? |
44441 | He knoweth it altogether? |
44441 | His voice pierced then into the dull cold ear of death, and has it become weaker since? |
44441 | How can we do it? |
44441 | How do we talk? |
44441 | How is that? |
44441 | How is that?--the words exactly the same, the notes identical-- how? |
44441 | How long has it been since the doctrine of the rotundity of the earth has been settled by scientific men? |
44441 | I must do the one or the other; and yet how many are seeking, like Pilate, to evade the question? |
44441 | If God afflicts, how foolish it is to go to the world for relief? |
44441 | If He was only a man, how shall we explain them? |
44441 | Is he to cease to believe in Christ? |
44441 | Is it less mighty or less loving now? |
44441 | Is it upon the misers and the miscreants and the murderers of the race merely? |
44441 | Is the world greater than God? |
44441 | Is there not the most complete demand for the punishment? |
44441 | Is there the slightest claim in us for the reward? |
44441 | It seems as if we might apprehend either of these things singly; but both together-- how can it be? |
44441 | Might not one man have been sent to the pool, and another man have come back to Jerusalem? |
44441 | Now, speaking roughly, what has been the motive for the great Western wave, which is making this garden out of that desert? |
44441 | Now, ye scientific men, what made that gourd wither? |
44441 | On whom does the Judge show his indignation? |
44441 | On whom does the fire fall? |
44441 | Perchance we explain the immediate antecedents of the phenomenon; but can we explain our own explanation? |
44441 | Say, will you learn it? |
44441 | Shall I reject Him and live precisely as if I had never heard His name? |
44441 | Shall we neglect it and pass it by, or shall we take it, study it, seek it, as the verse expresses it, and make it the rule of our lives? |
44441 | The criticism may be vigorous; he may be wholly unable to answer it: but what then? |
44441 | The question of Pilate,"What shall I do, then, with Jesus which is called the Christ?" |
44441 | The sending of the blind man to wash at the Pool of Siloam was suspicious: what could that washing have to do with a miracle? |
44441 | Then, if we are not to pray, may we at least praise? |
44441 | Thou art a ruin, but a grand one,--the majestic ruin of a majestic edifice, for knowest thou not that thou wast the temple of God? |
44441 | To what am I to pray if I see no living God to pray to? |
44441 | To whom is it that we pray? |
44441 | Was it certain that the man was blind? |
44441 | Was it certain that the vision was not gradually returning? |
44441 | Was it not more probable that the stranger''s story should be false than that the miracle should be true? |
44441 | Was it quite certain that the blind beggar who was sent to Siloam was the man who came back to the city and declared that Jesus had healed him? |
44441 | Well, is that all science can say? |
44441 | What did the Spaniards find there? |
44441 | What do we need, then, but Christ the Son of God, the Heart of God, the Love of God? |
44441 | What do we need, then? |
44441 | What is it we see in the first scene? |
44441 | What is it, then, that we see? |
44441 | What is the distinction of the race to which we belong, that it succeeds where these have failed? |
44441 | What is the need of flowers? |
44441 | What is the secret of this influence of Scripture? |
44441 | What proportion of our property should we devote to God? |
44441 | What shall we do with His word? |
44441 | What sin in the whole catalog of sin has been omitted by man? |
44441 | What was it that drew that sigh from the heart of Jesus? |
44441 | Wherefore, then, this unwonted squeamishness of conscience? |
44441 | Why all this reluctance on his part to send Jesus to the cross? |
44441 | Why are the cities of Europe horrified no longer by the hideousness of medieval leprosy? |
44441 | Why can you sing? |
44441 | Why did He do it if there was no need of it, if it were even possible that it should be wrested from its meaning? |
44441 | Why do we not have pestilence, like that great plague of London, which destroyed 7,165 persons in a single week? |
44441 | Why does the Black Death rage no longer, as it raged among the monks of this Abbey four centuries ago? |
44441 | Why has jail fever disappeared? |
44441 | Why has smallpox been stayed in its loathly ravages, and deprived of its hideous power? |
44441 | Why should he? |
44441 | Why so? |
44441 | Why then, again we ask, was his perplexity? |
44441 | Why? |
44441 | Will he pay-- will he''make good''--on the investment if he becomes a drinker? |
44441 | Would it not be well for Bartimeus to suspend his faith in Jesus until he had made further inquiries about the miracle? |
44441 | Yet what do we really know about it? |
44441 | You would lay before God your wretched plight to move His pity? |
44441 | behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?" |
44441 | or shall I accept Him as the Lord from heaven in human nature, trust in Him as my Savior, and obey Him as my King? |
44441 | says science; drag God in to explain anything? |
44441 | to Him to save us, and He has seemed to sleep and to refuse to save? |
42657 | _ Christ in You._What is it to have"Christ in you?" |
42657 | And O, wilt not thou come to Him? |
42657 | And can a Christian"greatly rejoice"while he is"in heaviness?" |
42657 | And dost thou think to get there by thy merits? |
42657 | And shall God turn to the dark sinner, and ask him whether there is anything in him which may contribute to eternal light? |
42657 | And to whom shall you go, if you turn away from Him? |
42657 | And what next? |
42657 | And what was the sacred lesson He taught to prevent their being exalted above measure? |
42657 | And what wonder is it that the believer has such deep peace, when Christ thus dwells in the heart, and reigns there without a rival? |
42657 | And, O, ye that are rich, can not you bear the same testimony, if you have loved the Master? |
42657 | At the Lord''s Table itself it is proper for us to pray,"Lord, is it I?" |
42657 | Because they are holy? |
42657 | Because they are sanctified? |
42657 | Because they serve God with good works? |
42657 | But dost thou say,"I will leave my wealth, after I have gone, to charities; I will build a hospital, or feed the poor?" |
42657 | But how is it that our peace is not more continuous? |
42657 | But if you have_ not_ this bright hope, how is it that you can live content? |
42657 | But what is it which preserves him from sinking? |
42657 | But why? |
42657 | But_ God_--what does He owe to thee? |
42657 | Can you not say that your religion did gild your gold, and make your silver shine more brightly? |
42657 | Can you say that you love Him, and has He ever revealed himself in the way of love to you? |
42657 | Can you think of that? |
42657 | Can your faith picture Him? |
42657 | Did you ever hear this parable? |
42657 | Do I know that Jesus loves me? |
42657 | Do I understand it? |
42657 | Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? |
42657 | Do we not know that in the heart of every sin condemnation slumbers? |
42657 | Do you ask what is the cause of this great rejoicing? |
42657 | Do you feel that in being a Christian you incur ridicule and reproach? |
42657 | Do you feel that in following Christ you must lose by it-- lose honor, position, wealth? |
42657 | Do you know it? |
42657 | Do you know what the joy is of doing good to others? |
42657 | Do you need something to light up the eye of your hope? |
42657 | Do you need something to nerve you for duty? |
42657 | Do you think that we are forever to be the drudges and the slaves of sin, sighing for freedom, and yet never able to escape from its bondage? |
42657 | Do you want something to bear you up in trouble? |
42657 | Do you want something to make you stand steadfast in the midst of temptation? |
42657 | Do you wonder that the Christian is called to conflict? |
42657 | Does He not say to the heavens,"Drop down manna to feed my people?" |
42657 | Does He say to the angel,"Protect my people?" |
42657 | Does He say,"Strengthen ye, strengthen ye my people?" |
42657 | Does He wear a crown? |
42657 | Does not the lightning write His name in letters of fire upon the midnight darkness? |
42657 | Does the Infinite indeed bow His ear to me? |
42657 | Dost thou not venture on that promise? |
42657 | Doth He question the night, and ask whether it has not in its sombre shades something which it may contribute to the brightness of noon? |
42657 | Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of Armies? |
42657 | Faith is precious, but what must sight be? |
42657 | For doth not all nature around me praise Him? |
42657 | For if this life be the seed- time of the future, how can I expect to reap in another world other harvests than I have been sowing here? |
42657 | God is the strength of his life: of whom shall he be afraid? |
42657 | God wills for the sun to light the earth: doth he ask the earth''s darkness to contribute to the light? |
42657 | Hang not up thy banner; do not decorate thine own bosom with the glory; for who made thee strong in the battle? |
42657 | Has it not calmed your minds? |
42657 | Has not this lightened you through the heavy shades of your tribulation? |
42657 | Has not your religion been a joy to you in your difficulties? |
42657 | Hast thou a cross, believer? |
42657 | Hast thou come to live as a receiver at the hand of God? |
42657 | Hast thou learnt this truth? |
42657 | Hast thou overcome temptation? |
42657 | Hast thou read the Bible, and yet have thine eyes been unenlightened? |
42657 | Hast thou shed a little light upon the darkness? |
42657 | Hast thou stood at Mercy''s gate, humbly seeking salvation? |
42657 | Hath not the whole earth a voice, and shall I, can I, be silent? |
42657 | Have I felt it? |
42657 | Have I lost a perfect righteousness in Adam? |
42657 | Have I lost happiness on earth in Adam? |
42657 | Have I lost heaven in Adam? |
42657 | Have not the testimonies of God been your song in the house of your pilgrimage? |
42657 | Have you ever struggled against an evil heart, and at last overcome it? |
42657 | Have you, like Bunyan''s Christian, fought with Apollyon, and after a fierce contest, put him to flight? |
42657 | He doth not ask what shall it profit him-- what shall be the good effect of it upon others, but he simply says,"Doth my Father command it?" |
42657 | Hear Him as he pleads-- hear you not what it is? |
42657 | How can I have hope that heaven shall be my eternal inheritance, unless the earnest be begun in my own soul on earth? |
42657 | How can I keep my desires burning and my zeal inflamed?" |
42657 | How can I trust that I shall be saved then, unless I am saved now? |
42657 | How can my emotions be strong? |
42657 | How important, then, becomes the question, Do I know the love of Christ? |
42657 | I must never seek any honor for myself; for what have I that I have not received?" |
42657 | If God gives a man a talent, do you think the man does not know it? |
42657 | Is He a priest? |
42657 | Is He enthroned? |
42657 | Is He glorious? |
42657 | Is He to be pierced in hands and feet, and are His followers to feel no pain? |
42657 | Is it a little thing for a follower of Christ to be losing the immortal honor of serving the Lord? |
42657 | Is it not plain, then, that religion is a thing which we must have here? |
42657 | Is it not prominently revealed that religion is important for the present? |
42657 | Is it not salvation-- thy soul''s deliverance from hell? |
42657 | Is it not the very sum of heaven, the rapture of bliss, the sonnet of the hill- tops of glory-- that you are to be perfect? |
42657 | Is it not your office and privilege to have it said of you, as of your Master--"He saved others, himself he can not save?" |
42657 | Is it shed abroad in my heart? |
42657 | Is not religion worth having in the sick chamber? |
42657 | Is not this enough? |
42657 | Is that your prayer which He is mentioning before the throne? |
42657 | Is the Lord Jesus your friend? |
42657 | Is the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ girt about my loins, to be my beauty and my glorious dress? |
42657 | Is there not a heaven within it? |
42657 | Is there power in human intellect to fly into the land of the hereafter, where God''s people rest eternally? |
42657 | Is this less a wonder? |
42657 | It is true that we have become subject to death by sin, yet has not grace revealed an immortality for the sake of which we are glad to die? |
42657 | It is yours to be lights; and doth not a light consume itself while it scatters its rays into the thick darkness? |
42657 | Look at the old oaks; how is it that they have become so deeply- rooted in the earth? |
42657 | May I hope He will at last listen to me? |
42657 | Must He be crowned with thorns, and shall you be crowned with laurel? |
42657 | Must we not account for this by the fact, that in our troubles we live nearer to God? |
42657 | O, wherefore dost thou doubt, then? |
42657 | O, would ye give up your religion for all the joys that earth calls good or great? |
42657 | O, ye children of sorrow, racked with pain, has not religion been to you a sweet_ quietus_ in your sufferings? |
42657 | O, ye sons of poverty, has not this been a candle to you in the darkness? |
42657 | O, ye sons of toil, has not this been your rest, your sweet repose? |
42657 | O_ grave_, where is thy victory?" |
42657 | O_ hell_, where is thy triumph? |
42657 | Or dost thou think to purchase with thy riches and thy gold a foothold in paradise? |
42657 | Or is the promise made to those who bear"a good report"of the land? |
42657 | Or who among us would complain loathingly of the bread which we eat, that it palls upon the sense of taste? |
42657 | Remember Jesus; think thou seest Him looking upon thee, and saying,"I gave Myself for thee, and dost thou withhold thyself from me? |
42657 | Say, if your immortal life could be extinguished, would you give it up, even for all the kingdoms of this world? |
42657 | See, then, the necessity of keeping the heart full; and let the necessity make you ask this question:"But how can I keep my heart full? |
42657 | Shall he die upon a cross, and will not you bear the cross? |
42657 | Shall the disciple be above his Master, and the servant above his Lord? |
42657 | Some persons, when they know they can do a thing, tell you they can not: but you surely would not call that humility? |
42657 | The field might complain, and say,"Why these scars across my face? |
42657 | The waiting I mean is"getting all things ready"--the waiting of the poor sufferer for the physician, who cries out in pain,"Is the doctor coming?" |
42657 | They who come unto glory are sons; for is it not written,"The Captain of our salvation bringeth many sons unto glory?" |
42657 | Thou art the clay, but_ who_ is the potter? |
42657 | To live for comfort? |
42657 | To live for glory? |
42657 | To live for pleasure? |
42657 | To live for wealth? |
42657 | Was there ever a child of God who could deny this? |
42657 | What did Christ say? |
42657 | What does he mean? |
42657 | What does this teach us? |
42657 | What doth he do? |
42657 | What had all your riches been to you without a Saviour? |
42657 | What shall it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul? |
42657 | What wailing and gnashing of teeth shall there be over the carelessness or misadventure by which men lose_ such a heaven as this_? |
42657 | What was the joy? |
42657 | What will not men do to win fame? |
42657 | Which of us has ever complained that the sun gave us but little variety? |
42657 | Who can comprehend this but the Christian? |
42657 | Who made thy sword sharp, and nerved thine arm to strike the foe? |
42657 | Who maketh thee to differ, and what hast thou which thou hast not received? |
42657 | Who shall bid us"stay,"if God bid us advance? |
42657 | Why does the branch bring forth grapes? |
42657 | Why is a Christian''s character like Christ''s character? |
42657 | Why this rough upturning?" |
42657 | Why, then, should we fear? |
42657 | Would He say,"Come ye to the supper,"and yet shut the door upon you? |
42657 | Would you rejoice in the Lord with faith unmoved, and confidence unshaken? |
42657 | Yet are there not many who seem to imagine that if they save a corner in their souls for their religion, all will be well? |
42657 | You are sent into the world to be saviours of others; but how shall you be so if you care only for yourselves? |
42657 | You say,"Well, how is that?" |
42657 | _ Foretastes of Heaven._ Is it possible for us to know anything whatever of our heavenly home? |
42657 | _ He hath said it_? |
42657 | _ Humility._ What is humility of mind? |
42657 | _ Look to Christ._ Would you be free from doubts? |
42657 | _ Love to Christ._ Have you a friend at court-- at heaven''s court? |
42657 | _ The Christian''s Crown._ Have Christians a crown? |
42657 | _ The Secret of Strength._ Art thou proud, believer, because thou hast been profitable to the Church, and done some little service to thy times? |
42657 | _ The Sleep of Death._"The sleep of death"--what is this sleep? |
42657 | _ To- morrow._ If to- morrows are not to be boasted of, are they good for nothing? |
42657 | _ Untiring Delight._ Who ever called the sea monotonous? |
42657 | and is the blood of Jesus sprinkled upon me, to take away all my guilt and all my sin? |
42657 | and shall I not in this greatly rejoice? |
42657 | and shall we, when it lies at our doors, turn idly aside and cast our glory to the ground? |
42657 | and will you turn aside because of these little things, when He would not turn aside, but endured the cross and despised the shame? |
42657 | are you ashamed and unwilling to suffer what your Master suffered? |
42657 | art thou at a loss for a topic to comfort the aching heart? |
42657 | attempt another way? |
42657 | dost thou think Christ would tell thee He will receive thee, and yet not do so? |
42657 | if Christ endured all this for the joy of saving you, will_ you_ be ashamed of bearing or suffering anything for Christ? |
42657 | pawn eternal glories for the pitiful pence of a few moments of the world''s enjoyments? |
42657 | when there is a Judas in the company; and after the most intimate fellowship, Christ exclaimed,"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" |
42657 | who lit thy candle-- and who is it who keeps thee still shining, and prevents thee from being extinguished? |
33340 | But, Mr. Moody,you say,"how can I check myself? |
33340 | Do you swear when you get angry? |
33340 | Does not your Bible say that if your ass falls into a pit on the sabbath, you may pull him out? |
33340 | How did you stop? |
33340 | How do I know whether a man or a camel passed my tent last night? |
33340 | Oh,I said,"tell me, have you ever sworn since that night you knelt in your drawing- room, and asked God to forgive you?" |
33340 | Then,I asked,"are you ready to meet God?" |
33340 | Well, what is it? |
33340 | What do you mean? |
33340 | What law of justice forgives the obscene bird of prey, while it kicks out of its path the soiled and bleeding dove? |
33340 | Where is the crime,he asked,"of turning a few ounces of blood out of their channel?" |
33340 | Why did you send your daughter out of the room before you said this? |
33340 | Why, you do n''t swear now, do you? |
33340 | Would you come up and see my wife? |
33340 | _ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? 33340 --that is splendid reading for Sunday, is n''t it? 33340 ARE YOU GUILTY? 33340 ARE YOU READY? 33340 After he prayed he got up and said:What shall I do now?" |
33340 | After the meeting I said to a gentleman:"Who is that man who drives up here every night? |
33340 | Again, what does John say? |
33340 | And what is it used in connection with? |
33340 | And why? |
33340 | And you,_ employee_, have you been honest with your employer? |
33340 | Are n''t they vanity? |
33340 | Are there not men whose characters have been utterly ruined for this life through this accursed sin? |
33340 | Are there not wives who would rather sink into their graves than live? |
33340 | Are we obeying God with all our heart? |
33340 | Are you fit for the kingdom of heaven? |
33340 | Are you guilty of adulterating what you sell? |
33340 | Are you innocent or guilty? |
33340 | Are you like those who said:"When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? |
33340 | Are you ready to step into the scales and be weighed against this first commandment? |
33340 | Are you ready to step into the scales? |
33340 | Are you trusting Him alone? |
33340 | Are your advertisements deceptive? |
33340 | Are your cheap prices made possible by defrauding your customers either in quantity or in quality? |
33340 | As a child said, when reproved by her mother and told that she ought to do right:"How can I do right when there is no''right''in me?" |
33340 | But does this mean that the detailed precepts of the Decalogue are superseded, and have become back numbers? |
33340 | But have you kept them? |
33340 | But if a man makes money, and yet his sons are ruined and his home broken up, what has he gained? |
33340 | But if he wins her affection and ruins her, and then casts her off, is n''t he worse, than a murderer? |
33340 | But some one says:"Mr. Moody, what are you going to do? |
33340 | But you ask,"What are we to do? |
33340 | Ca n''t a man read enough news on week days without desecrating the sabbath? |
33340 | Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? |
33340 | Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? |
33340 | Can pleasure or riches fill the soul that is empty of God? |
33340 | Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? |
33340 | Can we not all recall cases where men and women have died under the wounds of calumny and misrepresentation? |
33340 | Can you draw a picture of your own soul or spirit or will? |
33340 | Can you step on the scales and take that harlot with you? |
33340 | Can you, young man? |
33340 | Can_ you_ say that you observe the sabbath properly? |
33340 | Christians have tried to paint the Trinity, but how can you depict the Invisible? |
33340 | Come, are you killing them? |
33340 | Come, now, are you ready to be weighed? |
33340 | Did He not set an example of true filial love and care when in the midst of the agonies of the cross He mode provision for His mother? |
33340 | Did it not bring fire and brimstone from heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah? |
33340 | Did n''t David fall into foolish and hurtful lusts? |
33340 | Did you ever get so angry that you wished any one harm? |
33340 | Did you ever in your heart wish a man dead? |
33340 | Did you ever stop to think that the world has not a single picture of Christ that has been handed down to us from His disciples? |
33340 | Do n''t selfish riches always bring hurt? |
33340 | Do we keep the law, the_ whole_ law? |
33340 | Do we render Him a full and willing obedience? |
33340 | Do you believe that God will allow this infernal thing to go on,--women bearing all the blame while guilty men go unpunished? |
33340 | Do you call them old- fashioned, and sneer at their advice? |
33340 | Do you disobey them just as much as you dare? |
33340 | Do you ever think how those little stealings may bring you to ruin? |
33340 | Do you give short weight or measure? |
33340 | Do you know how often the word"reverend"occurs in the Bible? |
33340 | Do you love Him above father or mother, the wife of your bosom, your children, home or land, wealth or pleasure? |
33340 | Do you substitute inferior grades of goods? |
33340 | Do you teach your clerks to put a French or an English tag on domestic manufactures, and then sell them as imported goods? |
33340 | Do you tell them to say that the goods are all wool when you know they are half cotton? |
33340 | Do you try to deceive them? |
33340 | Does a father cease to give children rules to obey because they love him? |
33340 | Does a nation burn its statute books because the people have become patriotic? |
33340 | Does he have peace of mind? |
33340 | Does n''t it look as if Christ left no relics lest they should be held sacred and worshipped? |
33340 | Does n''t that touch sabbath travel? |
33340 | Does that look as if the law of Moses was becoming obsolete? |
33340 | Doth a fountain send forth at the same time sweet water and bitter? |
33340 | God''s statutes are just, are they not? |
33340 | Has n''t the church to contend with the same difficulty to- day? |
33340 | Has n''t the time come to call a halt if men want power with God? |
33340 | Has the human heart ever been satisfied with these false gods? |
33340 | Have we fulfilled all the requirements of the law? |
33340 | Have we not had the desire to increase our possessions or to change our lot in accordance with what we see in others? |
33340 | Have you been taking God''s name in vain to- day? |
33340 | Have you defrauded the hireling of his wages? |
33340 | Have you fulfilled, or are you willing to fulfil, all the requirements of this law? |
33340 | Have you no other God? |
33340 | Have you paid starvation wages? |
33340 | Have you robbed him of his due by wasting your time when he was not looking? |
33340 | His master heard of it, and sent for him, and said:"I understand you are preaching?" |
33340 | How about the atheist, the deist, the pantheist? |
33340 | How are we to get to church?" |
33340 | How are you treating your parents? |
33340 | How can men claim that this one commandment has been done away with when they will admit that the other nine are still binding? |
33340 | How could God order something that broke this second commandment? |
33340 | How did he learn to beware of covetousness? |
33340 | How did you spend it? |
33340 | How do you treat that venerable father and praying mother? |
33340 | How does He begin? |
33340 | How long is it since you wrote to your mother? |

23241 | Before all the doubts and hesitancies of man enable me to answer,"Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?" |
23241 | But can I share his witness,"_ I know that my Redeemer liveth_"? |
23241 | But how are we to love the Lord? |
23241 | But how can we become"children of light,"holy homes of protective and saving radiance? |
23241 | But is it not a strange thing that men can be"at ease in Zion"? |
23241 | But is this God''s way of dealing with His people? |
23241 | But what is a man to do who has got a perverted palate, and who calls sweet things bitter and bitter things sweet? |
23241 | But where shall we get the love wherewith to make our enemy lovely? |
23241 | But why"_ follow_"me? |
23241 | Can He afford to lose a soul? |
23241 | Can He communicate with the world through me? |
23241 | Can I be trusted? |

23241 | Do I do it before I begin to live the day? |
23241 | Do I ever open the door to anyone outside my family circle? |
23241 | Do I exercise a sensitive and sanctified imagination, and enter somewhat into the pangs of their cravings? |

23241 | Do I share the compassion of the Lord? |
23241 | Do I sufficiently remember the witness of history? |
23241 | Do I"learn wisdom"from experience? |

23241 | Do they go forth in great expectancy? |
23241 | Do they just contain our own families, or is China in them, and India, and"the uttermost parts of the earth"? |
23241 | Do they win their end by making me a smaller man? |
23241 | Does it range over mighty spaces seeking benedictions for a multitude? |
23241 | Does my discipleship multiply His powers of expression? |
23241 | Does my discipleship offer my Lord a limb? |
23241 | Does that seem a weak ending to a powerful beginning? |
23241 | For how else can we cast out evil? |
23241 | For is there any murderer so destructive as carnality? |
23241 | For what is the kingdom? |
23241 | For what song can there be where there is languor and fainting? |

23241 | Has he any place at all? |
23241 | Has that great word been spoken concerning me in the Father''s home of light? |
23241 | Have I a calm assurance that my ruler is not caprice, and that my comings and goings are not determined by unfeeling chance? |
23241 | Have I never preferred him, and sent my Lord to be"crucified afresh,"and"put Him to an open shame"? |
23241 | Have I not sometimes heard the phrase--"He''s just a lump of pride"? |
23241 | Have we been so busy with our preparations, so concerned with many things, and everybody, that we have forgotten our greatest possible Ally? |
23241 | Here is a sentence which describes the anger of the Apostle Paul:"Who is made to stumble and I burn not?" |
23241 | How big are they? |
23241 | How can the Lord sit down at such a table, or make One at such a fireside? |
23241 | How can they when the apportionment is so perverse, when everything is topsy- turvy? |
23241 | How can we deal with glaring sin, with sin that is"scarlet,"that is"red like crimson"? |
23241 | How can we gain this disposition of love? |
23241 | How could it be otherwise? |
23241 | How do I regard them? |
23241 | How do they lose it? |
23241 | How do we complete the sentence? |
23241 | How does it fit me for ordinary affairs? |
23241 | How does my life trend when it touches my brother? |
23241 | How has it all come about? |
23241 | How is he influenced by my example? |
23241 | How is it with our love? |
23241 | How is it with our prayers? |

23241 | How much grace can our unbelief withstand? |
23241 | How much is it ready to spend? |

23241 | I dwell in a land of ample religious freedom, but what about Armenia? |
23241 | I lay the coping- stone, but who turned the first sod? |
23241 | I lead the water into new ministries, but who first dug the well? |

23241 | MAY The Fifteenth_ GOD IS WIDE- AWAKE_"_ Jeremiah, what seest thou? |
23241 | May I not do this for my Lord? |
23241 | May I not make a place for Him in all my affairs-- my choices, my pleasures, my times of business, my season of rest? |
23241 | May we reverently wonder if it was a season of temptation? |
23241 | My soul, art thou secretly ashamed of thy Lord? |
23241 | O grave, where is thy victory?" |
23241 | On what quiet farm is the coming deliverer now labouring? |
23241 | Or am I altogether depending upon another man''s sight, and are my own eyes unillumined? |
23241 | Or am I in the pay of the evil one? |
23241 | Or am I like a vagrant who has no possessions and no heartening expectations? |
23241 | Or am I magnanimous even on the cross? |
23241 | Or are my prayers weighted with sincere desire? |
23241 | Or do I only think of a corner of it, just that part where my own little synagogue is placed? |
23241 | Or do they become relaxed and demoralized? |
23241 | Or does it dwell in selfish seclusion, imprisoned in merely selfish quest? |
23241 | Or----? |
23241 | Possibly"Vision of Sin"was meant? |
23241 | SEPTEMBER The Tenth_ CRITICISM AND PIETY_"_ Thinkest thou, that judgest them that do such things, that thou shalt escape?_"--ROMANS ii. |
23241 | Shall I find it a castle of gloom, or is there another gate through which I shall emerge into the fair, sweet paradise of God? |
23241 | Shall I travel north or south? |
23241 | Shall we know Him? |
23241 | Shall we say that in that palm there was something akin to the pierced hands of the Lord? |
23241 | Supposing one word had failed, how then? |
23241 | That they can play the beast in the holy place? |
23241 | Then why do so many spiritual cripples leave the synagogue cripples still? |
23241 | There is rottenness in its foundations, and there is built into it"wood, and hay, and stubble,"How can it stand? |
23241 | These hands of mine, the symbols of conduct, the expression of the outer life, what are they like? |
23241 | Till seven times?" |
23241 | To the swamps of transgression or to the fields of holiness? |
23241 | Towards liberty or towards license? |
23241 | Unto what? |
23241 | Was our human Lord assailed by"the destruction that wasteth at noonday"? |
23241 | What about peace and joy, and hallowed and blessed carelessness? |
23241 | What am I doing in the kingdom? |
23241 | What are my prayers like? |
23241 | What are my treasures of contentment? |
23241 | What brave music can be born in an organ which is short of breath? |
23241 | What can a branch do apart from the vine? |
23241 | What do I do with"the stranger"? |
23241 | What do my words indicate? |
23241 | What do they suggest as to the depths and background of the soul?" |
23241 | What has He done for thee and me? |
23241 | What if I see"no pastures green"? |
23241 | What if the Transfiguration was the type of the purposed consummation of every life? |
23241 | What if the two are one? |
23241 | What if they are only two names for the same thing? |
23241 | What is He doing? |
23241 | What is left in the circle of obedience? |
23241 | What is my stock of godliness? |
23241 | What is the quality of our anger? |
23241 | What is the size of my sanctuary? |
23241 | What kind of a witness will it be? |
23241 | What kind of forgiveness is this? |
23241 | What kindles it? |
23241 | What matter? |
23241 | What part of us will remain alive, singing or jarring in men''s remembrance? |
23241 | What shall I say when death comes, to me or to my loved one? |
23241 | What shall be the issue of so vast a consciousness? |
23241 | What shall he find in the ways of obedience? |
23241 | What shall it be? |
23241 | What shall we do to escape this great disaster? |
23241 | What sharp dividing minister can cleave the two in twain, and leave me like a dismembered and dying branch? |
23241 | What then? |
23241 | What then? |
23241 | What will men hear when they turn their thoughts toward us? |
23241 | What will the Lord do with my sin, if in true humility I come into His Presence? |
23241 | What, then, am I called to do? |
23241 | What, then, can we do? |
23241 | What, then, shall we do in the days of our prosperity, when all our trees are in full leaf? |
23241 | When He spake of the woman as a"dog,"and of the disciples as"the children,"would there not be something significant in His very looks and tones? |
23241 | When a day is over, do I carry its helpful lamp into the morrow? |
23241 | When death knocked at my door, did I know that the King had sent him? |
23241 | When little children feed on my presence do they grow in strength and beauty? |
23241 | When new circumstances confronted him, his first question was this--"Where is Christ in all this?" |
23241 | When some cherished scheme toppled into ruin, had I any thought that the Lord''s hand was concerned in the shaking? |
23241 | Where are the morally and spiritually anà ¦ mic? |
23241 | Where has the truth its waving flag? |
23241 | Where''s the piccolo?" |
23241 | Which of the causes provides a tent for the Lord of Hosts? |
23241 | Which of the two opposites shall I love-- God or the world? |
23241 | Whither are we going? |
23241 | Who can lead us into the bright realm where smiles are born? |
23241 | Who can trace the real springs of a tear and lay his hand on the emotion that gave it birth? |
23241 | Who cares for food if presented by unclean hands? |
23241 | Who has a cup of bitterness to drink? |
23241 | Who knoweth the way of a frown, or who can uncover the secrets of fear? |
23241 | Who knows? |
23241 | Who shall be permitted to pass into the sanctuary of the cloud, and have communion with the Lord in the holy place? |
23241 | Who will build his house at the foot of Mount Sinai? |
23241 | Who will feed upon me to- day, and what will be the end of it? |
23241 | Who would have expected that Goliath''s antagonist would emerge from the quiet pastures? |
23241 | Who would have had sufficient daring of imagination to conceive that God Almighty would have appeared among men as a little child? |
23241 | Why choose a man when the arch- angel Gabriel stands ready at obedience? |
23241 | Why did He weep? |
23241 | Why not"go before"? |
23241 | Why seek for palms in arctic regions, or for icebergs in the tropics? |
23241 | Why should I fear? |
23241 | Why should I fume and fret and worry as to what the sealed envelope contains? |
23241 | Why, then, not seek it in the right place? |
23241 | Will a tent contain them, or do they move with the scope and greatness of the heavens? |
23241 | With what voice shall we speak when we are dead? |
23241 | Yes, but how can I keep them? |
23241 | Yes, but over what area shall I look for them? |
23241 | Yes, has my Church any place in my prayer, or am I robbing her of part of her intended possessions? |
23241 | Yes, indeed, what space has"the stranger"in my supplications? |
23241 | _ If I were God, could I listen to them?_ Are they mere pretences at prayer, full of nothing but sound? |
23241 | _ If I were God, could I listen to them?_ Are they mere pretences at prayer, full of nothing but sound? |
6999 | ''Will knowledge then suffice, New- year?'' 6999 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? |
6999 | But what am I to do? |
6999 | But,you say,"when there is no meat in the larder and no flour in the bin, can we then be not anxious?" |
6999 | Once more I asked:''Is there no more to tell?'' 6999 Was ever imagery so homely invested with such grace and such sublimity as this at our Lord''s touch? |
6999 | A work of this nature would be inexcusable for not saying something about prayer, for who can live life triumphantly without prayer? |
6999 | Again, I have been asked,"Can we reach a place where we shall be no more tempted?" |
6999 | Are there not many little things in your home life that you can improve upon? |
6999 | Are you as gentle to your domestic animals as you should be? |
6999 | Are you too harsh and rough? |
6999 | Are you, dear reader, every day filling golden vials around God''s throne with the sweet odor of prayer? |
6999 | Are you, if a parent, as gentle to your children as you should be, at all times? |
6999 | Beloved, have you a"fig- tree"? |
6999 | But one sails eastward, one sails west, One north, one southward goes: How can ships sail this way and that With selfsame wind that blows? |
6999 | But what is pure? |
6999 | But where are these latter stepping? |
6999 | But where are we all going? |
6999 | But where? |
6999 | But why does he so intensely yearn for the prayers and devotions of our hearts? |
6999 | Can it be that any one can be more blessed than this happy mother of Jesus? |
6999 | Can you be more kind in your daily life? |
6999 | Can you see him thus? |
6999 | Can you weep with him and them? |
6999 | Christian reader, is there an ardent flame of pure love in your heart? |
6999 | Did you say you had no time for prayer? |
6999 | Do you admire the character Jesus? |
6999 | Do you behold the beauty and the wisdom here? |
6999 | Do you believe you fill the Bible measure in this particular? |
6999 | Do you comprehend the full meaning of these words? |
6999 | Do you ever have a Gethsemane? |
6999 | Do you know of one who is weary? |
6999 | Do you long for a brighter hope and deeper joy, for a deeper sense of the divine fulness, for a sweeter, closer walk with God? |
6999 | Do you love to feel the holy flame of love burning in all its intensity in your soul? |
6999 | Do you oftentimes find your mind contemplating the wonders of creation and the glories of salvation? |
6999 | Do you see Jesus as such? |
6999 | Do you walk with Jesus in a devout, trustful, reverential spirit? |
6999 | Does Jesus live in you? |
6999 | Does not your heart feel that they imply great earnestness in life? |
6999 | Down in our heart there is a No for an answer, is there not? |
6999 | Has not God purchased you? |
6999 | Hast thou any flowers for me? |
6999 | Hast thou kind words to impart, Words that lift the fainting heart? |
6999 | Hast thou sunlit smiles to give, Smiles that make us want to live? |
6999 | Have they any beauty and do you desire them to grace your soul? |
6999 | Have you a quiet nook somewhere which is hallowed by the presence of God? |
6999 | He asked,"Who touched me?" |
6999 | How can ships sail this way and that? |
6999 | How many times have you resolved to do and have failed to keep your resolution? |
6999 | Husband, are you as kind and gentle toward your wife as you should be? |
6999 | If there is not much benefit derived from prayer, why is he so concerned? |
6999 | If you are evil spoken of, misrepresented, misunderstood, neglected, dispised and forsaken, does Jesus live in you then? |
6999 | If you are smitten upon the right cheek, does Jesus then live in you? |
6999 | If you meet with something quite provoking from your wife or the children or the animals, do you keep as mild and sweet as you know you should? |
6999 | If you see your brother in need; if you have two coats and he has none, does Jesus live in you then? |
6999 | If you were to start today and ask each person you met the question,"Where are you going?" |
6999 | In the vast created universe, what place does man occupy? |
6999 | Is he everything to you? |
6999 | Is it flowers you are strewing? |
6999 | Is it sunshine to cheer and lighten the hearts of others? |
6999 | Is it true? |
6999 | Is not this a picture of devotion? |
6999 | Is not this what we would have all men do to us? |
6999 | Is that fine, keen edge upon your soul that gives such avidity for holy things? |
6999 | Is that holy awe filling you? |
6999 | Is that tender sensibility of spiritual things filling your heart? |
6999 | Is to become more godly a sincere desire of your heart? |
6999 | Is your life or mine going to be the dropped stitch in the great web of human life? |
6999 | Is your pillow ever dampened by tears shed for a doomed world? |
6999 | Is your soul habituated to breathe in the atmosphere of heaven deeply? |
6999 | It was whispered throughout the corridors of the universe,"Will he succeed? |
6999 | Jesus says,"Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" |
6999 | Jesus will gather his holy angels before him and address them thus:"Do you behold Brother--? |
6999 | My reply was,"Shall we not attend to our spiritual duties?" |
6999 | Nathanael, wondering how this man happened to know him, asked,"Whence knowest thou me?" |
6999 | Now, what would Jesus do? |
6999 | O pilgrim on life''s journey, what are you leaving along the way to show in after- years that you have passed along? |
6999 | Shall we analyze this peace, that we may know all about it, even the very hidden secret of the principle? |
6999 | Shall we consecrate our lives to him that he may hide our life in his life? |
6999 | Shall we invite him into our hearts? |
6999 | Shall we not be watchful to walk in God''s ways and obey him, that this rich inheritance may be ours forever? |
6999 | Shall we not bear the trials of life a little longer in patience? |
6999 | Shall we yield ourselves to him? |
6999 | The important question, then, is,"How can I have a pure heart?" |
6999 | The question might arise,"What are fleshly lusts?" |
6999 | The sparrows have thy kindly care; I''m more than they, then need I fear? |
6999 | Then, when you are neglecting to water the soul in vigorous, spiritual exercises, why do you wonder at your being so spiritually dull? |
6999 | WHO ARE THE WISE? |
6999 | Was it not too bad to lay such a blame upon a poor little innocent child? |
6999 | What causes the Christian heart to long to root deeper into God; that makes the soul seek his embrace? |
6999 | What does he want with man''s heart? |
6999 | What is gentleness? |
6999 | What is it in the nature of the child that causes it so eagerly to eat and play? |
6999 | What is it in the nature of the oak that causes it to send its root down into the soil and to drink up of its substance? |
6999 | What is more peaceful than the calm, even flowing of a river? |
6999 | What would you think of a man who contemplated engaging in some business, but said he did not have much time to devote to it? |
6999 | What, in its true sense, is a holy life? |
6999 | When did you shed tears over lost souls? |
6999 | Which shall it be? |
6999 | Who can properly estimate the true worth of prayer or rightly appreciate the privilege of prayer? |
6999 | Who is a foolish man? |
6999 | Who is a wise man? |
6999 | Who is it that knows not the comfort of a mother? |
6999 | Who will not cleave to the commandments of God? |
6999 | Who will not obey his voice and walk daily in his holy ways? |
6999 | Who would not take pleasure in adorning the teachings of Jesus by a pure life? |
6999 | Why did you not tell him that when he was living? |
6999 | Why do you keep all the kind thoughts and kind words for a man until he is dead? |
6999 | Why go along with crossness, and coldness and snappishness in your life? |
6999 | Why is this? |
6999 | Why not be an angel and make a day of paradise for him here? |
6999 | Why not be in earnest, and seek God for help, and make improvement? |
6999 | Why not let him? |
6999 | Why not think much about this mansion? |
6999 | Why wonder? |
6999 | Will he play his part well?" |
6999 | Will we play our part well? |
6999 | Will you believe? |
6999 | Will you stop a moment and think over these words? |
6999 | Wilt thou kindly let them be Given ere death be- dews my brow? |
6999 | Would he pay it? |
6999 | Would you, my reader, like to be more gentle in your manner? |
6999 | and are you often found under it? |
6999 | and is he in everything that comes to you? |
6999 | and who are my brethren? |
6999 | do you know of one who is being misrepresented? |
6999 | do you know of one who is being trodden down by others, with scarcely any one to speak a word of comfort? |
6999 | how oft would I have gathered thee to Jesus, as a hen gathers her brood under her wing, but ye would not"? |
6999 | or do you have impatient feelings and act in a hasty, abrupt manner towards them? |
6999 | why not learn all about it you can? |
6999 | why not view it often by faith? |
17570 | What shall I do when I catch the child in an outright lie? 17570 [ 27] Should we say grace on all occasions of meals? |
17570 | _--To start_ The Family Book_, mother or father raises the question at dinner:What was the best Sunday of all last year, and why was it the best?" |
17570 | 6:7- 9, 20- 25)? |
17570 | AMUSEMENTS What should the family do about the question of the amusements of young people? |
17570 | AT THE CRISIS But what shall we do as we meet the lie on the lips of the child? |
17570 | Admitting that there are sufficient grounds for divorce in numerous instances, what other causes enter into the high number of divorces? |
17570 | After all, what do we most of all desire for all our children-- position, fame, ease? |
17570 | And is it not to be the same with the child? |
17570 | And might we not also connect the idea of God with the affairs of daily life? |
17570 | And what ought we to try to make it mean to children? |
17570 | Are there degrees of lying? |
17570 | Are these influences greater or less with parents on children? |
17570 | Ask the little fellow with the jam- smeared face,"Have you been in the pantry?" |
17570 | Ask:"What has been the best we have read or repeated in our worship this week?" |
17570 | Ask:"What shall we learn for memory repetition this week, what psalm or other passage for our concerted worship?" |
17570 | But how can a true parent escape that lesson? |
17570 | But what kinds of memory treasures are being given to the modern child in the realm of religion? |
17570 | But where shall we go? |
17570 | CHAPTER VI THE CHILD''S RELIGIOUS IDEAS How shall I begin to talk with my child about religion? |
17570 | Can we forever fix the general concept of all this beauty as the thought of God in the words of flower and leaf, mountain and stream? |
17570 | Can you describe any plans of community councils in the home? |
17570 | Can you describe forms of play in which practically all the family might unite? |
17570 | Can you find that story and put it in the book? |
17570 | Can you guide them intelligently when they ask for suggestions of interesting books? |
17570 | Can you see any especial advantage to character in the very difficulties and apparent disadvantages in the life of the family? |
17570 | Could anything be sadder than the picture of the anemic, pulseless automaton who is always"good"? |
17570 | Describe any methods or modes of approach which have seemed successful? |
17570 | Describe, from your memory, some of the influences of personality? |
17570 | Did you love God or fear him? |
17570 | Did you read in the paper this week of some brave or kindly deed done by a boy or a girl, a man or a woman? |
17570 | Did you see someone do an act of kindness? |
17570 | Do all children quarrel? |
17570 | Do the schools and colleges, Sunday schools and churches teach youth a better way? |
17570 | Do they not also belong to the church in at least the sense that the church is responsible for their spiritual welfare? |
17570 | Do we believe that this universe is so ordered that there is a law for weeds and none for the higher life of man? |
17570 | Do we hold that cabbages grow by law but character comes by chance? |
17570 | Do we remember the best times of our childhood? |
17570 | Do we sedulously cultivate charity for others? |
17570 | Do we stifle impatience, bitterness, class feeling? |
17570 | Do we tend to expect too high a development of character in children? |
17570 | Do you agree that the family is the most important religious institution? |
17570 | Do you know the healthful, suitable ones? |
17570 | Do you know what goes on in secret places on the grounds? |
17570 | Do you regard table- talk and table- manners as having any directly religious values? |
17570 | Do you remember any stories which especially impressed you as a child? |
17570 | Do you show an interest in the books they plan to draw from the public library? |
17570 | Does all this mean that boys should be encouraged to fight? |
17570 | Does it prefer a cheap veneer to a slowly acquired genuine article? |
17570 | Does not the development of moral ability and culture deserve at least as much attention as any other phase of the child''s life? |
17570 | Does someone object that that would be to degrade the Bible to the level of secular writings? |
17570 | Does that mean that religious education has ceased in the home? |
17570 | Does the apartment or tenement building furnish a suitable condition for the higher purposes of the family? |
17570 | Does the child learn more through ears or eyes? |
17570 | Does the plan of a short service for children meet the need? |
17570 | Does the reading of newspapers by children affect their general habits of reading? |
17570 | Does this enrich lives? |
17570 | Evading taxes, avoiding duties, a community parasite, does it commend to children the arts of social cheating and lying? |
17570 | Expect activity and use it._ Why should we assume that because the adult finds a Sunday nap enjoyable the child will be blessed by enforced silence? |
17570 | For instance, did you read the other day of the young man who jumped in front of a train to save a young girl? |
17570 | For is it not true with us that practically all we really know has come by the organizing of our different experiences? |
17570 | Have you ever seen evidences of the phase mentioned as aversion to parents? |
17570 | How can there be real family life? |
17570 | How can we discriminate among the statements of children? |
17570 | How can we help them to recognize the qualities of truth? |
17570 | How can you use childish figures of speech as an avenue to more exact truth? |
17570 | How do children acquire their social ideals from the home? |
17570 | How do homes train for the responsibilities of citizenship? |
17570 | How do homes train in dishonesty? |
17570 | How does the social instinct express itself in social service? |
17570 | How early in life do we have manifestations of a conscious will? |
17570 | How early should the sex instruction begin? |
17570 | How else shall they be trained to take the home and family in terms that will make for happiness and usefulness? |
17570 | How far have these changes affected the community of the family, the continuity of its personal relationships, and its religious service? |
17570 | How far should we go in restraining activity? |
17570 | How have the changes affected the religious influence of the home? |
17570 | How long could family life persist under these conditions where privacy was almost gone and comfort almost unknown? |
17570 | How long could the family as a unit continue under these conditions? |
17570 | How many families co- operate with the library? |
17570 | How many maintain the custom of bedtime prayers in mature life? |
17570 | How may the home co- operate with the school? |
17570 | How may we develop this in childhood? |
17570 | How might the church co- operate? |
17570 | How shall we define duties to business, to society, and to the family? |
17570 | How shall we overcome the apparent difficulty of maintaining the confidence of children? |
17570 | How shall we say grace, or"ask a blessing"? |
17570 | How would you define education? |
17570 | How would you do this? |
17570 | How would you promote community service in the family? |
17570 | How? |
17570 | Ideally, what is a church but a group of families associated for religious purposes? |
17570 | If a child asks,"Did God make the world?" |
17570 | If religious education does not at all influence us in the great events of life, of what value is it to us? |
17570 | If so, what are the reasons? |
17570 | If the child asks or his query implies,"Did God make the leaves, or the birds, with his fingers?" |
17570 | If the church fails in an adequate ministry for children, shall we condemn it as we would a bridge that failed to carry a reasonable load? |
17570 | If the demand for clean drinking- water is a proper one, is the demand for healthful food for the life of ideals less so? |
17570 | In a few years these youths will be bearing social burdens, facing temptations, taking up duties; does their teaching relate at all to these things? |
17570 | In any church there is a large number of young people under instruction; what are they learning? |
17570 | In discussing the development of character in children one hears often the question,"Which is the earliest virtue to appear in a child?" |
17570 | In how far are home problems due to the ignorance of parents? |
17570 | In how far can we direct the reading of young people toward sane and helpful knowledge of family life and duties? |
17570 | In the vivid memory of a childhood clouded by the thought of a police- detective Deity, may one protest against this act of irreverence and blasphemy? |
17570 | In visiting a school what may the parent do to acquire information in the proper way? |

37883 | Nay, do you not know now some who are traveling this ruinous pathway? |
37883 | Now what does that word"daily"mean in this connection? |
37883 | Now you must enjoy the pleasures of life while you are young?" |
37883 | Now, I will ask you, could God show His concern for us in a more striking and convincing way than in the_ giving_ of His Son to ignominy and death? |
37883 | Now, do you not call that a power which can bring to pass such effects as this? |
37883 | Now, do you not find that if you do what you find in the Bible, then the Bible becomes sweeter and sweeter to you? |
37883 | Now, do you not know all about what that means? |
37883 | Now, let me ask, have we all who profess to be Christians this meek spirit and character? |
37883 | Now, need I stop here to prove that any of you are sinners? |
37883 | Now, you who have been saved here, I want to ask you: What are you doing for others? |
37883 | O man, what will you do with eternity,_ eternity_, if you go thither unprepared? |
37883 | Often in my loneliness and sorrow my lips would cry out,''How can I endure this life any longer?'' |
37883 | Oh, are you afraid to venture? |
37883 | Oh, have you not found your tongue to be one of the most troublesome things you have to contend with? |
37883 | Oh, wo n''t you come? |
37883 | Oh, wo n''t you try to help him all you can? |
37883 | Or are we crabbed and cross and discontented and complaining against those who cross our wills and against the lot that God has given to us in life? |
37883 | Or"To be pitied are they that mourn?" |
37883 | Or, if you are too full of other cases, will you not get some one of your workers to try to lead him back to good paths? |
37883 | Pretty soon she came in and said,"What in the world is the matter with you? |
37883 | Say, what for, if not for you and all sinners? |
37883 | So much has been done, and so many prayers offered for him, wo n''t you please, at your next opportunity, find him and talk and pray with him? |
37883 | Somebody met me about four o''clock in the evening, and asked:"Where are you going?" |
37883 | The day before Christmas my wife wrote me,"Why do n''t you come home? |
37883 | The driver said to me,''Does this coffin belong here?'' |
37883 | Then how can you expect to know anything of God? |
37883 | Then, there is a judgment coming, is there? |
37883 | There, now, you are already comforted a little bit, are you not? |
37883 | They asked me why? |
37883 | Think of you? |
37883 | To the inhabitant of the city, what could be more pleasing than the freedom and freshness and beauty of the country? |
37883 | Was not this so with_ you_? |
37883 | Was that the lesson which his long and extended experience taught him? |
37883 | Was this a plan to get away into a"far country"where he might turn again to sin? |
37883 | Was this charity or placing much faith in God''s word? |
37883 | We often speak of you, and the question is often asked,"Will he come and see us this year and hold another mission meeting?" |
37883 | Well, does Jesus make provision for this? |
37883 | Well, how is the Mission getting along? |
37883 | Well, well, who would have thought it? |
37883 | What about swearing? |
37883 | What are you doing? |
37883 | What could be more impressive and what more expressive of the estimate set upon the man and his work? |
37883 | What could he do? |
37883 | What did Jesus suffer for if not for you and your sins? |
37883 | What do you say? |
37883 | What do you say? |
37883 | What does our text say? |
37883 | What has become of Davidson, Peck, Booker and all of the boys? |
37883 | What is your business?" |
37883 | What then does the Teacher say? |
37883 | What was that sacrifice? |
37883 | What were you doing? |
37883 | When I left him he said,"Wo n''t you go to your room to- night and pray?" |
37883 | Where could he go? |
37883 | Where do you stand? |
37883 | Where were you last night? |
37883 | Who but a true friend that had your best interest at heart would have written such a letter as this last one from you? |
37883 | Who was there could help him? |
37883 | Who was there that loved him? |
37883 | Why does God, in so many ways, express His love for sinners? |
37883 | Why not have some good books to read? |
37883 | Why will you die? |
37883 | Will you believe it? |
37883 | Will you come in? |
37883 | Will you hear it? |
37883 | Will you look after him as much as you can and if he should fall, help him up? |
37883 | Will you not believe it and come to Him for safety? |
37883 | Will you not look him up at once? |
37883 | Will you not send after him, and try to get him to go to- night? |
37883 | Wo n''t you come and go with us? |
37883 | Wo n''t you go now immediately and wrestle for and with him in prayer? |
37883 | Would you have God''s peace within? |
37883 | You are going to take the responsibility of stopping Him, are you?" |
37883 | You have begun with faith, have you not? |
37883 | _ Dear Mr. Holcombe:_ Will you please come out to my home on Third street in the morning as early as you can? |
37883 | _ How_ am I to seek God? |
37883 | do you mean to say that Paul, the great Apostle, was in danger of being led away by the appetites of the body? |
7026 | ''What''s the matter with your father?'' 7026 And why do n''t you steal any more?" |
7026 | And you do n''t suppose there is a happy land? |
7026 | Boy, what are you doing there? |
7026 | But, Mother,very pettishly said the boy,"you are sick all the time-- how do you know?" |
7026 | Ca n''t Jesus make Annie see her mama? |
7026 | DOES THIS RAILROAD LEAD TO HEAVEN? |
7026 | Did he give you all this, my child? |
7026 | Did she go over this railroad, and are you going to see her now? |
7026 | Did you ever hear of Jesus? |
7026 | Did you ever steal? |
7026 | Did you know Winnie Lewis, my lad? |
7026 | Do you know who he was? |
7026 | Do you trust Him, too? |
7026 | Going to sing there? |
7026 | Harvey, are faith and hope nothing? |
7026 | How came you to think you''d find shoes in a jug? |
7026 | How do you know? |
7026 | I think not,he answered,"Why did you think so?" |
7026 | Is God there? |
7026 | Is Jesus there? |
7026 | Is she gone? |
7026 | Is that you, Jesus? |
7026 | John,said his friend, with an affectionate look,"shall we pray?" |
7026 | Know her, is it sir? 7026 Look here, child; where did you learn that song?" |
7026 | Oh, Father, did you get a new jug and were they in it? |
7026 | Oh, Mother, may I go skating? 7026 Oh, let my parents live Till I a woman grow; For if they die, what can A little orphan do?" |
7026 | Thank you sir, but please, sir, would you like to hear me sing a little hymn? |
7026 | Was Winnie a relative of yours? |
7026 | Well my little one, are you better? |
7026 | Well, who''s there? |
7026 | Well-- and what then? |
7026 | Well? |
7026 | What ails mother''s Pet? 7026 What are you doing here?" |
7026 | What are you glad for, my dear? |
7026 | What are you hiding from? |
7026 | What did you say? |
7026 | What did your father beat you like that for? |
7026 | What difference will that make? |
7026 | What do you mean, Anna? |
7026 | What do you sing, child? |
7026 | What shall I say to God about it, Mama? |
7026 | What would we ever do without our Comforter, son? |
7026 | Where do you live my dear? |
7026 | Where is He? |
7026 | Where''s your father? |
7026 | Where''s your mother? |
7026 | Who pays your fare? |
7026 | Why did you? |
7026 | Why do you wish I had been there, Ella? |
7026 | Will you please tell me where Jesus Christ is? 7026 Will you tell me about it, my friend?" |
7026 | Will you wake me up then so that I may see my ma and your little girl and Jesus? |
7026 | Yes, but if I should die, will you promise to love Jesus just as I do, and meet me in heaven? |
7026 | You are not naughty now, my dear, are you? |
7026 | You do; and who is your teacher? |
7026 | A brawny German in broken accent asks:"O children, what is the matter?" |
7026 | A few boys gathered around the poor lad, and asked in a kind way( for a street Arab):"Say, Johnny, why do n''t you go to the lodges?" |
7026 | A still, small voice she heard within her soul--"What is it child? |
7026 | A voice seemed to say:''Why do n''t you go out as I tell you? |
7026 | Addressing herself once more to the conductor, she asked him,"Do you love Jesus? |
7026 | After awhile he said,''My, I am so cold,''and I said:''Where''s your overcoat?'' |
7026 | Ah, where was Bess, the"little mother,"who in that brief moment resigned herself to death? |
7026 | And Bess? |
7026 | And after all, would what they called religion make them any worse children? |
7026 | At last a man rushed into the chapel, ran up the aisle and sank upon his knees by the side of his child, exclaiming:"What do you want of me?" |
7026 | But is it not a thousand times more wicked for you not to love Him who has loved you so much more than that little one loved her father? |
7026 | But what was this? |
7026 | Can you not imagine that tears often filled the eyes of that father when he spoke of his sainted little one? |
7026 | Could he not see where the heart of his darling Ella was? |
7026 | Could it be that what these poor fanatics, as he had always called them, said about the future world was correct? |
7026 | Did you ever hear such grand music? |
7026 | Did you tell me there be bears down at the sand- bank when there are n''t any?" |
7026 | Do you commend it earnestly to the care of its God and Savior? |
7026 | Does God say that?" |
7026 | Does not this recall the love of the Lord Jesus Christ to you who read? |
7026 | Fathers, may not the hands of the"thousands slain"make mute appeal to you? |
7026 | He did not like the idea of getting a whipping for it, as was very likely, but how could he resist the temptation of making sure about those shoes? |
7026 | He had given his consent for them to attend the Sunday School, and should he now be offended because they had yielded to its influence? |
7026 | How can you help loving such a precious Savior? |
7026 | I asked her with surprise:"Why madam, have you not got anything to eat?" |
7026 | I said"Sing?" |
7026 | I said:"What are your neighbors, that you should suffer among them?" |
7026 | I sat down on the front of the bed and said:"Jennie, is there any there that you know?" |
7026 | I turned to the mother, and said:"Madam, you have potatoes to eat, I suppose?" |
7026 | If they meet in heaven, do you think that daughter will be sorry that she sacrificed her life for her father''s sake? |
7026 | In a low, hesitating voice, she asked the woman:"Do you know Jesus Christ?" |
7026 | Is he sick?" |
7026 | It was found the next morning; and who shall describe their feelings as they clasped the little form to their bosoms? |
7026 | Let us encourage benevolence and gentleness and if he wishes to go without the fur- trimmed coat, why not do as he asks?" |
7026 | Mama?" |
7026 | Mister, do you sing to your little girl about the railroad that goes to heaven? |
7026 | Mr. Lowe made no reply-- how could he? |
7026 | Now, do not shut the windows tonight, will you?" |
7026 | Oh, Wife, is there mercy for a wretch like me?" |
7026 | Oh, sister, he has gone in again; what shall we do?" |
7026 | Ought he not rather to have expected this? |
7026 | Said the conductor:"Where are you going?" |
7026 | Shall I tell her that I saw her pa on Jesus''railroad? |
7026 | Shall I?" |
7026 | She asked the conductor:"Mister, may I lie here until we get to heaven?" |
7026 | She had not talked long until nearly every child in the room was in tears, and how shall we describe that touching scene? |
7026 | She looked up at the pastor earnestly, and inquired:"Is that so? |
7026 | She looked up to my face and said:"''Are you the man that preached last night and said that Christ could save to the uttermost?'' |
7026 | She spoke,"I heard them-- it is Henry; oh, I knew he went-- is he dead?" |
7026 | She then said,"Mister, does this railroad lead to heaven, and does Jesus travel on it?" |
7026 | Should he yield to thin influence and be led by his children to Christ? |
7026 | The mother observing this, repeated her thanks and finally said:"Would you like me to pay you for bringing my child home?" |
7026 | Then she said:"Now, Kittie, you will forgive me for ever being cross to you wo n''t you?" |
7026 | Turning her eyes again upon the conductor, she interrogated him again,"What shall I tell your little girl when I see her? |
7026 | Was he a man? |
7026 | Was my hard work and were the cares of business driving me out of my wits? |
7026 | Was there a heaven, and a hell, and a God of justice? |
7026 | Was there no one near to hear his distressing cries, and rescue the poor child from their cruel grip? |
7026 | Was there something in religion after all? |
7026 | Were his darling children right, and was he alone wrong? |
7026 | What could I do? |
7026 | What could be the matter? |
7026 | What could he do but kneel down and cry to God to have mercy upon him? |
7026 | What could it mean? |
7026 | What is it?" |
7026 | What shall we do for her? |
7026 | What should he do? |
7026 | What should she do? |
7026 | Which was to go? |
7026 | Why do we not help the children to get saved, letting them feel that they are really one with us? |
7026 | Will you forgive me, sister, for being cross to you?" |
7026 | Will you not ask Him to forgive you and help you to live for Him the rest of your life? |
7026 | Wo n''t you, now?" |
7026 | Would n''t you like to see heaven and Jesus, and your little girl?" |
7026 | You have a little girl, have n''t you?" |
7026 | [ Illustration] The brother did not seem to hear as he asked,"You know what being baptized means, Winnie?" |
7026 | [ Illustration] You, fond mother, so busy hour after hour preparing and adorning garments for their pretty little form, have you forgotten the soul? |
7026 | [ Illustration]"Who broke my jug?" |
7026 | [ Illustration]"Why, boy, who beat you like that?" |
7026 | he said,"Did you tell me a wrong story? |
7026 | he said,"what put such a wild thought into your head? |
7026 | why have you brought a stranger into this horrible place?'' |
26062 | KNOW YE NOT, THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN? |
26062 | What is it? |
26062 | ***** Is it true, that_ the heathen world are sinking to perdition_? |
26062 | 73 Do we give as much as we ought to evangelize the heathen? |
26062 | 75 Do we go and instruct the heathen as we ought? |
26062 | 81 Why are the heathen lost? |
26062 | A few individuals too, bearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, have visited some of my numerous islands; but what are they among the multitude?" |
26062 | After this testimony of the Isles of the Ocean, the inquiry is last addressed to America:"America, what is thy testimony? |
26062 | Again, Do we_ give_ as much as we ought to evangelize the heathen? |
26062 | And by whom? |
26062 | And can the mere fact of being settled have produced such a vast change in the question of duty, as to place it forever at rest? |
26062 | And do we_ go and instruct_ the heathen as we ought? |
26062 | And first, where is the evidence of such a result? |
26062 | And had not the apostles great influence in the churches in which they labored? |
26062 | And have all these considerations, and a hundred more, been urged upon you for years, and yet failed to make an_ impression_? |
26062 | And how is such a feeling of equal and individual responsibility to be induced, till laymen in great numbers begin to go abroad? |
26062 | And if such is the necessary event, what is the conclusion at which we must arrive? |
26062 | And if they become acquainted with the language of the heathen, what do they hear day after day? |
26062 | And is there no remedy? |
26062 | And shall not he"render to every man according to his works?" |
26062 | And should it not be so in the kingdom of Christ? |
26062 | And the Reformers-- Luther, Melancthon, Calvin, Knox and others-- were not they thought to be enthusiasts and zealots? |
26062 | And what is the treatment thou hast received from them? |
26062 | And what will they do? |
26062 | And, I ask again, Can it be an excuse to many Christians that they are laymen and not preachers of the Gospel? |
26062 | Are not these the real wants of men allowed by the Gospel, whether they live in London or in Ethiopia? |
26062 | Are not thirty billions enough? |
26062 | Are the heathen guilty-- covered with blood and black with crime? |
26062 | Are they not enough to strike us dumb? |
26062 | As fast as the beating of my pulse, they are passing into the world of retribution, and the inquiry is, What is the doom they meet? |
26062 | As yet, how many of the learned, the eloquent and influential of the ministry, have become missionaries at the West? |
26062 | Besides, have you forgotten the nature of benevolence? |
26062 | Besides, is not the work of a missionary a difficult, important, and responsible work? |
26062 | Besides, what is the great purpose for which the church was instituted? |
26062 | But did I find, think you, that Christians were destitute of the ordinary comforts of life? |
26062 | But for laymen to go forth, and sustain themselves in this way, is it not both proper and appropriate? |
26062 | But how certain is it, that persons somewhat advanced can not acquire a foreign language? |
26062 | But how does it appear, that you never professed an entire consecration to Christ of all your powers of body and soul? |
26062 | But how shall those possessing_ large capitals_ best employ them as stewards of God? |
26062 | But if such had been the superficial and ill- founded character of Christ''s compassion, where should we have been at this present hour? |
26062 | But is this the spirit which prevails in the churches? |
26062 | But it will be asked, How would the going forth of such classes of men better the condition of missionaries''children? |
26062 | But since such zeal is not manifested, the heathen are left to perish; and where, I ask affectionately and solemnly, where rests the guilt? |
26062 | But the inquiry arises, In what way should laymen go forth? |
26062 | But was not Jerusalem an important place? |
26062 | But what are our real wants-- our_ wants_, not our_ desires_--our_ real_ wants, not those that are artificial and imaginary? |
26062 | But what is an Algerine dungeon? |
26062 | But what is holiness? |
26062 | But what is the plea that so readily leaves the millions of ignorant heathen to hopelessness and despair? |
26062 | But what is their state? |
26062 | But what prayer has actually been offered to the Lord for benighted nations? |
26062 | But what, really, are the vows that rest upon you? |
26062 | But while ministers at home are assisted in their work, shall the missionary abroad receive little or no help in his direct labors? |
26062 | But, I ask, have missionaries no feelings? |
26062 | By what reasoning, I ask, has it been made to mean, in fifty- nine cases out of sixty,_ send, contribute_,_ and educate young men_? |
26062 | Can I then thus easily thrust aside the Saviour''s last and most impressive command? |
26062 | Can I, by such a course, shield myself effectually from its further application? |
26062 | Can Satan be driven so easily from his own territory, that none but raw troops are needed for the contest? |
26062 | Can all these professions and employments be united in one man? |
26062 | Can ignorance at this day be any other than a criminal ignorance-- an ignorance of fearful responsibility? |
26062 | Can it be his will that they should all quietly remain where they are? |
26062 | Can it be that the service rendered by the church as a body is acceptable to God? |
26062 | Can one missionary sustain all this variety of labor? |
26062 | Can they make it appear that many of their number were not called to the office of preaching the Gospel? |
26062 | Can we do it, and be guiltless of blood? |
26062 | Can we have_ any relish_ for luxuries, folly and needless expense, amidst the teeming millions commencing the agonies of eternal death? |
26062 | Certain it is, that they are not saved through faith in Christ; for"how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?" |
26062 | Children have eyes, and among the heathen what do they see? |
26062 | Consecrate them to the work? |
26062 | Did not the church love and respect them, and hang in breathless silence upon their lips, and look upon their departure as an irreparable loss? |
26062 | Did the Saviour favor fickleness in his last command? |
26062 | Did the angels intercede in our behalf that the Saviour would come? |
26062 | Did the temporal and eternal miseries of six hundred millions of your fellow men make no impression upon you? |
26062 | Did their groans and sighs, which came over the waters like the voice of seven thunders, peal after peal, make no impression upon you? |
26062 | Did they take the proper means to ascertain that point? |
26062 | Did we become sensible of our lost condition? |
26062 | Did we with one accord lift up our penitent and broken- hearted cries to the God of mercy, that he would provide a way for our salvation? |
26062 | Different fields, of course, present greater or less obstacles; but what undertaking is without its difficulties? |
26062 | Do they exhibit many traits that are repulsive and horrid? |
26062 | Do they rise to unite with angels in the songs of heaven? |
26062 | Do you dismiss the physician, or withhold any comfort for fear of expense? |
26062 | Do you feel that the principles of stewardship contained in the Bible are too strict-- that too entire a devotement is required of you? |
26062 | Do you think of expense? |
26062 | Does it require less skill to draft the plan of a capitol, than to work at the building when the plan is mature? |
26062 | Does it require less wisdom to govern a camp in a state of mutiny, than when in subjection and at peace? |
26062 | From Bhering''s Straits to Cape Horn, what treatment have thy native inhabitants received from Christian nations?" |
26062 | Had not Paul and Barnabas great influence in the church at Antioch? |
26062 | Has it been mainly to make known the precious name of Jesus? |
26062 | Has there been no lack in this part of the work? |
26062 | Have I been visited by those who bear the Christian name? |
26062 | How can you expect from them refinement or elevation of soul? |
26062 | How can you expect from them the proprieties and consistencies of a Christian life? |
26062 | How can you so blindfold the young, stop their ears, and wall them off from surrounding influences, as to expect such a result? |
26062 | How many ships sail the ocean to carry the Gospel of Christ? |
26062 | How then can the fact of having wandered from duty excuse one from the performance of it? |
26062 | How, indeed, shall the world be converted, unless there be a going forth to heathen lands from among all classes of Christians? |
26062 | If Antioch was required to spare her two ablest men, what may not be required of such cities as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore? |
26062 | If a minister may_ stay_ at home because he has children, may not the missionary who has children_ return_ home? |
26062 | If any one has mistaken their import, is it not on account of a self- seeking, money- getting, or slothful disposition? |
26062 | If missionaries keep their children, and ask for the requisite means of education, shall they be called extravagant? |
26062 | If provision is to be made for all things that are convenient and pleasant, what room will remain for self- denial? |
26062 | If the latter day glory is to take place through human instrumentality, can it be expected without some mighty movement on the part of the church? |
26062 | If their ears are left open, what do they hear? |
26062 | If their eyes are left open, what do they see? |
26062 | If then unto whom much is given, of them will much be required, what may not God justly demand of American Christians? |
26062 | If then, after all, the measure of going is the true measure of interest, to what extent, I inquire, have Christians of America gone to the heathen? |
26062 | If there had been a desire, nay, even a willingness to be instructed, could I have mistaken such plain and unequivocal precepts of the Gospel?" |
26062 | If they send them home, shall they be regarded as possessing but a small share of natural affection? |
26062 | Imagine then to yourself this feature of heathen society, and then repeat the inquiry, What do children see? |
26062 | In reflecting on this narration, do we not come to the conclusion, that MEN OF TALENTS AND INFLUENCE ARE CALLED TO THE WORK OF MISSIONS? |
26062 | In such a world and as God''s stewards, who can be at a loss in regard to the course of duty? |
26062 | In the case supposed of a sick child, does the mother simply express a desire that the child may recover? |
26062 | In the greatest strait, how much retrenchment has there been in the style of living? |
26062 | In view of such an example, what shall we say? |
26062 | Inefficient, I say, for what do this million and a half of professed Christians accomplish? |
26062 | Is a residence in Arkansas preferred to a residence in New- York, or a voyage to New Guinea before one to Europe? |
26062 | Is anything like this sum given by American Christians to support and propagate the religion of Jesus? |
26062 | Is business stopped on the canal till the next season, because the times are hard, and it is difficult to obtain money to make repairs? |
26062 | Is entire consecration to Christ enjoined? |
26062 | Is fashion, splendor and parade, appropriate in a grave- yard, or in the chamber of the dead and dying? |
26062 | Is he therefore excused? |
26062 | Is humility inculcated? |
26062 | Is it not a fact, that many professed Christians do not remember the heathen once a day, and some not even once a month? |
26062 | Is it not obedience to the commands of Christ? |
26062 | Is it not overwhelming? |
26062 | Is it not, then, as though an imperfect sacrifice were offered to the Lord-- a lamb full of blemish? |
26062 | Is liberality required? |
26062 | Is not the practice in many cases an_ unwise investment_ of God''s funds? |
26062 | Is purity of life enjoined? |
26062 | Is there any professed Christian who does not relish the idea? |
26062 | Is there not a reasonable prospect that one dollar used now, in doing good, will turn to more account than twenty dollars ten years hence? |
26062 | It is infallible authority that speaks, and what does it declare? |
26062 | Keep them, and train them up to be helpers in the work? |
26062 | Let such a one search his own heart, and inquire with concern,"Did I desire to know my duty? |
26062 | Let us inquire, then, Do we_ pray_ for the heathen as much as we ought? |
26062 | Like specks of light, few and far between, how can they illumine the broad canopy of darkness? |
26062 | Many missionaries have six children, shall not they return? |
26062 | May there not also be small combinations of men, not to help others, but_ each other_ into the field, just as there is in worldly enterprise? |
26062 | Now I ask most solemnly, and in a spirit of grief and humiliation, how such a course of conduct would have appeared in the apostles? |
26062 | Now what, under God, shall break up this covetousness, and luxurious manner of life? |
26062 | Now, I ask, how many months would expire before you would save the sum from your hard earnings, and liberate your son? |
26062 | Now, I ask, ought not men to feel as much in view of the eternal and unspeakable agony of a world of souls, as a parent feels for a suffering child? |
26062 | Now, I ask, shall not the same intense and active state of mind be required of us, as God''s agents or stewards? |
26062 | Now, where in the Bible do you find, that a spirit of self- denial and of consecration is enjoined peculiarly upon missionaries more than upon others? |
26062 | Now, who does not know that children are likely to be much influenced by the aspect and character of the society by which they are surrounded? |
26062 | Now, why is there such a rushing after this department of the great work? |
26062 | Or is he connected with a literary, or theological institution? |
26062 | Our own nation lost, and what would become of the heathen? |
26062 | Shall I escape the goadings of conscience and the charge of blood- guiltiness? |
26062 | Shall I keep my provisions for my own comfort, and leave these sufferers to pine away with hunger and thirst? |
26062 | Shall not the same enterprise be seen in moral and religious things? |
26062 | Shall we not then be found_ accountable_ for their eternal agonies? |
26062 | Shall we place it at thirty- five? |
26062 | Shall we then take that which might relieve them, and expend it in procuring conveniences, elegancies, and luxuries for ourselves? |
26062 | Shall we, by any guilty neglect, suffer the present generation, six hundred millions more, to be added? |
26062 | Shall, then, Christian enterprise be dull and sluggish, deal in cents and mills, and move along at a very slow pace? |
26062 | Since such is the case, what wonder is it that a million and a half of Christians in the United States should be so inefficient? |
26062 | Some derangement takes place in a railroad: is travelling postponed till next year? |
26062 | Some have gone to the West, to be presidents of colleges there; but how many have gone to engage in the more appropriate duties of the_ missionary_? |
26062 | Soon after, he was dismissed from his church and people; and think you he became a missionary? |
26062 | Suppose angels to be placed in our stead, would they, think you, be outdone by the seekers of wealth in deeds of enterprise? |
26062 | Surely, thought I,( and had I not grounds for the thought?) |
26062 | The last, do you say? |
26062 | The_ guilt_ of this neglect who can estimate? |
26062 | Then may not the missionary who has one child, come back? |
26062 | Then, is the church of a pastor wealthy and influential? |
26062 | There are other objects, it is true, that call for contributions; but put all contributions together, and how small the amount? |
26062 | Travel round the world, and how often will it fail? |
26062 | True, I reply, the work is great; but how does it appear that there has not been sufficient time to accomplish it? |
26062 | Urge young men into the missionary field without going yourselves? |
26062 | Was not Antioch as important as Boston or Philadelphia? |
26062 | Was not my blindness a matter of choice; no infirmity, no misfortune, but my guilt? |
26062 | Was this the measure of their engagedness in rebuilding the city? |
26062 | Was this the rate at which the ravages of the great fire were so soon repaired? |
26062 | We are very much inclined to argue the question,"Where can I do the most good?" |
26062 | Were not the apostles thought to be deranged? |
26062 | What does God say of the watchman of a city who should see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet? |
26062 | What does God say to the prophet, who should see the peril of the wicked, and neglect to save him by giving him warning? |
26062 | What does he do? |
26062 | What does the present earnestness of the church amount to? |
26062 | What else, I ask, is a missionary spirit, but to be willing to labor with self- denial and perseverance to elevate and save the low and the vile? |
26062 | What has been done abroad? |
26062 | What has been done at home in railroads, canals, steamboats, manufactures, and in other departments of enterprise and industry? |
26062 | What have they carried to thy shores? |
26062 | What have they carried to thy shores? |
26062 | What honor greater than that of continuing the work which Jesus commenced; of being employed in the immense business of saving a ruined race? |
26062 | What language of affection and solicitude can equal that of Paul for his converts? |
26062 | What means shall be taken to arouse them? |
26062 | What mind sufficient to balance extremes so inconceivably immense? |
26062 | What obscure island, or what obscure nook or corner of the earth has not been visited? |
26062 | What then could they not accomplish for Christ, if their feelings were equally enlisted in his cause? |
26062 | What then shall they do with their children? |
26062 | What then shall they do? |
26062 | What then? |
26062 | What work more glorious than that of being the instruments of peopling heaven? |
26062 | When a son is in bondage on a barbarous coast, does the father merely_ pray_ that his son may be redeemed? |
26062 | When and where has the experiment been tried to justify such a supposition? |
26062 | When and where have individuals or companies gone forth with the sole design of benefiting the heathen, and yet proved their extermination? |
26062 | When the liberties of a people are at stake, how few are excused from the field of battle? |
26062 | Where do you find it intimated, that a missionary spirit is a thing superadded to Christian character? |
26062 | Where, then, is the hope of the unconverted heathen? |
26062 | While Jesus plead,"Lo, I died for them, go, preach my Gospel to them, that they may live;"could you remain unimpressed and unmoved? |
26062 | Who can measure the vast disproportion? |
26062 | Who of my readers in Christian lands would be willing to throw his own child on such a precarious subsistence? |
26062 | Who will not charge me with the loss of those lives? |
26062 | Who would not load me with the deepest guilt, and stamp me as the basest of murderers? |
26062 | Why have ye not made known the Gospel of Christ to every creature? |
26062 | Why should not the various means of civilizing and improving society at home, be brought to exert their influence upon the heathen abroad? |
26062 | Why then are the heathen left to perish? |
26062 | Why then can not men go forth, and while they obtain a livelihood, make it their ultimate and chief aim to do good? |
26062 | Why? |
26062 | Will they operate_ by proxy_? |
26062 | Will you not, Christian reader, look at this question, weigh it well, and deal honestly with your own soul? |
26062 | Will you presume to offer that excuse to the Lord Jesus, when you shall stand before him to render account for the blood of the heathen? |
26062 | Will you, being a professed Christian, dare to oppose the march of God? |
26062 | Will, then, God transplant the vine of Sodom, unchanged in its nature, to overrun his paradise above? |
26062 | Would he not, indeed, make the work of missions stand forth as_ the_ work, and not as an exception or a peculiarity? |
26062 | Would it have evinced a spirit of obedience? |
26062 | Would it not be an unholy consecration-- a consecration at the hands of those who were not themselves consecrated? |
26062 | Would not Gabriel feel himself honored with a work so noble and glorious? |
26062 | Would our visit to them fill them with rage and bitterness, and tempt them to crucify us? |
26062 | Would such appeals be made if the enterprise were not a feasible one? |
26062 | _ Not sufficient time!_ What has been accomplished in the pursuit of wealth and honor during the same period of time? |
26062 | and have not such enterprises, to some extent, been already entered upon with success? |
26062 | and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?" |
26062 | and what has been their deportment towards thee?" |
26062 | and who thereby teach the heathen injustice, cheating, drunkenness, lewdness, and recklessness of life? |
26062 | are we to relax our efforts for them, because they are ungodly? |
26062 | become a missionary? |
26062 | can the church be so low in grace? |
26062 | does he merely send_ money_ for his ransom? |
26062 | does she merely give money, and hire a nurse to take little or no care of it? |
26062 | have their hearts become hard, like blocks of wood and pieces of rock? |
26062 | hold they back? |
26062 | how will you endure the keen remorse and fearful looking for of judgment, which may ere long overtake you? |
26062 | indeed; does it betray fickleness to leave a church to become a missionary? |
26062 | more prominent, compared with other cities of that time, than any city in the United States? |
26062 | of what is your heart made, that it does not feel? |
26062 | or sink in ceaseless and untold misery? |
26062 | that their retrenchments had been made_ first_ in personal expenditures, and last in efforts to save souls? |
26062 | that they were in a distressing emergency for food and clothing? |
26062 | what mean those lamentations, Rolling sadly through the sky? |
26062 | when would the millenium arrive? |
31647 | ''And how many souls have been converted to God by his"quiet influence"all these years?'' |
31647 | ''And who then is willing to fill his hand this day unto the Lord?'' |
31647 | ''And who, then, is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?'' |
31647 | ''Dear Eleanor, Do you love him as much as Christ loves us? |
31647 | ''Hath He said, and shall He not do it?'' |
31647 | ''Is_ anything_ too hard for the Lord?'' |
31647 | ''Shall I hold them back-- my jewels? |
31647 | ''Shall I keep them still-- my jewels? |
31647 | ''Then you mean to say we are never to spend anything on ourselves?'' |
31647 | ''What about self- denial?'' |
31647 | ''Why ask me, dear? |
31647 | ''_ When the Lord has said to us,''Is thine heart right, as My heart is with thy heart?'' |
31647 | ), or the grace of our Almighty God and the power of the Holy Ghost, which is as free to you as it ever was to any one? |
31647 | ), to rule the wayward one with His peace, and to establish the fickle one with His grace? |
31647 | 1 is our"bodies"? |
31647 | 21? |
31647 | A saint in glory? |
31647 | After all, this question will hinge on another, Do you love Him? |
31647 | An angel? |
31647 | And does not this feeling, that we are dealing with a larger thing than we can grasp, take away from the sense of reality? |
31647 | And how can the Lord keep what He has not been sincerely asked to take? |
31647 | And if so, is it any wonder that we have not realized all the power and joy of full consecration? |
31647 | And if some, why not all? |
31647 | And if the very strength of your intellect has been your weakness, will you not entreat Him to keep it henceforth really and entirely for Himself? |
31647 | And if they are, are you trusting Him to keep them, and enjoying all that is involved in that keeping? |
31647 | And if we know that He heard it, should we not believe that He has answered it, and fulfilled this, our heart''s desire? |
31647 | And kept_ for Him!_ Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, when it is only the fulfilling of His own eternal purpose in creating us? |
31647 | And may we not expect a fresh and special blessing in so doing? |
31647 | And now, dear friend, what about your own hands? |
31647 | And oh, why did n''t they ever talk to me about it, instead of about my lessons or their little girls at home? |
31647 | And one knows they are true, and that they can not really return void, and what can give greater confidence than that? |
31647 | And so when the question,''How much owest thou unto my Lord?'' |
31647 | And so, if we may commit the days to our Lord, why not the hours, and why not the moments? |
31647 | And there_ is_ chastening, but the Father''s love Flows through it; and would any trusting heart Forego the chastening and forego the love? |
31647 | And what has He to say to us? |
31647 | And what is being made willing, but having our will taken and kept? |
31647 | And what is to be for Him? |
31647 | And what then? |
31647 | And why should we allow him to argue with us for one instant, as if it were still an open question? |
31647 | Are any words so blest? |
31647 | Are not such moments proved to have been kept for Him? |
31647 | Are they consecrated to the Lord who loves you? |
31647 | Are they not the tiny joints in the harness through which the darts of temptation pierce us? |
31647 | Are we feeling this a little? |
31647 | Are we not''without excuse''? |
31647 | Are you getting any real and lasting satisfaction out of it all? |
31647 | Are you not finding that things lose their flavour, and that you are spending your strength day after day for nought? |
31647 | Are you one of His people by faith in Jesus Christ? |
31647 | Are you satisfied with your experience of the other''sort of thing''? |
31647 | Are you willing to be''_ only_''for Jesus? |
31647 | But as we do so, are we not conscious of a feeling that even a year is too much for us to deal with? |
31647 | But if not,_ why_ not? |
31647 | But is there any hope that, thus returning, our flickering love may be kept from again failing? |
31647 | But what has our Lord to say? |
31647 | But what then? |
31647 | But when you_ have_ committed them to Him, it comes to this,--is He able or is He not able to keep that which you have committed to Him? |
31647 | But why not take the same decided course, and share the same blessed keeping and its fulness of hidden reward? |
31647 | Can He have refused it when He has said,''Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out''? |
31647 | Can He not communicate both the power and the gentleness? |
31647 | Can any words be more tender, more touching, to you, to me? |
31647 | Can there be a stronger promise? |
31647 | Could we choose a nobler joy?--and would we, if we might? |
31647 | Dare we add,''And I know that Thou canst not do that''? |
31647 | Day after day passes on, and year after year, and what shall the harvest be? |
31647 | Did He not die to save you? |
31647 | Did he, too, unaccountably forget to mention that he only meant all that was within him,_ except_ self? |
31647 | Do you ask,''But what use can he make of mere moments?'' |
31647 | Do you honestly want your very feet to be''kept for Jesus''? |
31647 | Do you not feel that in very proportion to the gift you need the special keeping of it? |
31647 | Do you not think the hand which Jesus had just touched must have ministered very excellently? |
31647 | Do you not want a Friend? |
31647 | Do you not want a Saviour? |
31647 | Do you not want a blessing? |
31647 | Do you want an added motive? |
31647 | Does He or does He not mean what He says? |
31647 | Does it please the Master when even in our zeal for His work we annoy anxious friends by carelessness in little things of this kind? |
31647 | Does not a sense of hollowness and weariness come over you as you go on in the same round, perpetually getting through things only to begin again? |
31647 | Does our heavenly Bridegroom expect nothing more of us? |
31647 | Does this mean that we are always to be doing some definitely''religious''work, as it is called? |
31647 | Flowers on thy pathway, Skies ever clear? |
31647 | For He hath said_ How_ much-- and who shall dare to change His measure? |
31647 | For Thee, who art to me--_what?_ Fill that up too, before Him! |
31647 | For what is material force compared with moral force? |
31647 | For what_ is_''the good pleasure of His will''? |
31647 | Has not this vagueness had something to do with the constant ineffectiveness of our feeble desire that our time should be devoted to God? |
31647 | Has our Lord reason to say,''My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as a stream of brooks they pass away''? |
31647 | Has the flow grown gradually slower and shallower? |
31647 | Have we been grateful for the infinite thought and wisdom which our Lord has expended upon us and our creation, preservation, and redemption? |
31647 | Have we not been wronging His faithfulness all this time by practically, even if unconsciously, doubting whether the prayer ever really reached Him? |
31647 | Have we not drifted away from the golden reminder,''Should he reason with unprofitable talk, and with speeches wherewith he can do no good?'' |
31647 | Have we not heard of one gentle touch on a wayward shoulder being the turning- point of a life? |
31647 | Have we not sometimes sat down to write, feeling perplexed and ignorant, and wishing some one were there to tell us what to say? |
31647 | Have we really let Him have the use of these hands of ours? |
31647 | Have you not felt how a happy conversation about the things we love best is checked, or even strangled, by the entrance of one who is not in sympathy? |
31647 | He wants to have you with Him; Do you not want Him too? |
31647 | Here I am usually met by the query,''But what would you advise me to sing?'' |
31647 | Here is His promise of just what you so want; will you not gladly fulfil His condition? |
31647 | Honestly, now, have you trusted Him to keep your lips_ this day?_ Trust necessarily implies expectation that what we have entrusted will be kept. |
31647 | How can another keep that which we are keeping hold of? |
31647 | How can mortal heart conceive what is enfolded in these words,''I also for thee''? |
31647 | How can mortal mind estimate this enormous promise? |
31647 | How can we let the world, the flesh, and the devil have the use of what has been purchased with such payment? |
31647 | How could I rest, when I had heard His fame, In that dark lonely land of death from whence I came? |
31647 | How many for the spirit of praise, and how many for the spirit of heaviness? |
31647 | How shall I obey?'' |
31647 | I said to him,''Well, H., we have a good Master, have we not?'' |
31647 | I take this pain, Lord Jesus; But what beside? |
31647 | If He is not to have all, then_ how much?_ Calculate, balance, and apportion. |
31647 | If He says,''What is that in thine hand?'' |
31647 | If our feet are not our own, ought we not to take care of them for Him whose they are? |
31647 | If the Lord taught David''s hands to war and his fingers to fight, will He not teach our hands, and fingers too, to do what He would have them do? |
31647 | If you are mourning over want of realized consecration, will you look humbly and sincerely into_ this_ point? |
31647 | If you only knew-- and why should you not know? |
31647 | If''singing for Jesus''is such delight here, what will this''singing_ with_ Jesus''be? |
31647 | In view of this, shall we care to reserve anything that rust doth corrupt for ourselves? |
31647 | Is He not all you need? |
31647 | Is He not kind indeed? |
31647 | Is it a little too much for them all to''flow in ceaseless praise''? |
31647 | Is it not a beautiful one? |
31647 | Is it not for want of putting our hands into our dear Master''s hand, and asking and trusting Him to keep them? |
31647 | Is it not obvious that it is the man''s distinct duty to see to this faithfully? |
31647 | Is it not often so, That we only learn in part, And the Master''s testing- time may show That it was not quite''by heart''? |
31647 | Is it not wonderful to think that the Lord Jesus will not only accept and keep, but actually_ use_ our love? |
31647 | Is it the experience of Christians that the coming in of a new object of affection interferes with entire consecration to God?'' |
31647 | Is it worthy of our acceptation or not? |
31647 | Is not He good? |
31647 | Is not His name called''Counsellor''? |
31647 | Is not that enough? |
31647 | Is not the taking rather the pledge of the keeping, if we will but entrust Him fearlessly with it? |
31647 | Is not this enough, Though the desert prospect Open wild and rough? |
31647 | Is not this, O you who love the Lord-- is not this worth living for, worth asking for, worth trusting for? |
31647 | Is not your answer to your Father''s''What wilt thou?'' |
31647 | Is there not work enough for any lifetime in unfolding and distributing that one message to His own people? |
31647 | Is this worthy work for one who has been bought with such a price that he must say,''Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all''? |
31647 | It is not the least use arguing with one who has had but a taste of its blessedness, and saying to him,''How can these things be?'' |
31647 | It may be no to- morrow Shall dawn on you or me; Why will you run the awful risk Of all eternity? |
31647 | Jephthah uttered all his words before the Lord; what about ours? |
31647 | Now shall we, can we, reserve any corner of our hearts from Him? |
31647 | Now you who have been taking a half- and- half course, do_ you_ get such rewards as this? |
31647 | Oh, shall He call in vain? |
31647 | Oh, why Should they misrepresent Thy words, and make''Narrow''synonymous with''very hard''? |
31647 | Once the question was asked,''Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?'' |
31647 | One loves them and rejoices in them, and what can be greater help to any singer than that? |
31647 | One who will love you faithfully, And love you to the end? |
31647 | Shall I, can I yet withhold From that living, loving Saviour Aught of silver or of gold? |
31647 | Shall not the time past of your life suffice you for the miserable, double- hearted, calculating service? |
31647 | Shall they carry us hither and thither merely because we like to go, merely because it pleases ourselves to take this walk or pay this visit? |
31647 | Shall we trust His word or not? |
31647 | Shall you or I remember all this love, and hesitate to give all our moments up to Him? |
31647 | Shall''the devil''have the use of them? |
31647 | Shall''the flesh''have the use of them? |
31647 | Shall''the world''have the use of them? |
31647 | Should not all this be additional motive for desiring that our_ whole_ selves should be taken and kept? |
31647 | Should we not be utterly ashamed to think of it? |
31647 | So may we not ask Him to bring His perfect foreknowledge to bear on all our mental training and storing? |
31647 | So what is the very first doubting, and therefore sad thought that crops up? |
31647 | Sometimes it is less than that; only a look( and what is more momentary?) |
31647 | Songs in the springtime, Pleasure and mirth? |
31647 | The only question is, will we trust this promise, or will we not? |
31647 | The preacher claims the promise,''My word shall not return unto Me void,''and why should not the singer equally claim it? |
31647 | Then why should we doubt that He did verily take our lives when we offered them-- our bodies when we presented them? |
31647 | This may be good, but is there nothing better? |
31647 | Treasures of earth? |
31647 | Was ever mythic tale or dream So bold as this reality,--this stream Of boundless blessings flowing full and free? |
31647 | Was it not kinder the task to turn, Than to let it pass, As a lost, lost leaf that she did not learn? |
31647 | Was it not worth the pain? |
31647 | We have heard this, and very likely repeated it again and again, but have we seen it to be inevitably linked with the great question of this chapter? |
31647 | We know this very well, but have we realized it? |
31647 | Well, where will you stop? |
31647 | What calls forth the deepest, brightest, sweetest thrill of love and praise? |
31647 | What can be found Bringing thee sunshine All the year round? |
31647 | What defence can we bring, what excuse can we invent, for so doing? |
31647 | What has a consecrated life to do with being''afraid''? |
31647 | What is even the present return? |
31647 | What is it that has dulled and weakened the echo of our consecration song? |
31647 | What is the Bride''s true and central treasure? |
31647 | What is to be done then? |
31647 | What manner of love is it? |
31647 | What proportion of your moments do you think enough for Jesus? |
31647 | What right have we to pick out one of His faithful sayings, and say we do n''t expect Him to fulfil that? |
31647 | What shall I render to my glorious King? |
31647 | What shall I wish thee? |
31647 | What shall I wish thee? |
31647 | What should be quoted to prove or describe it? |
31647 | What will You do without Him? |
31647 | What will you do without Him, When He hath shut the door, And you are left outside, because You would not come before? |
31647 | What will you do without Him, When death is drawing near? |
31647 | What_ is_, if such plain and yet divine words are not? |
31647 | Where is the consecration you have talked about? |
31647 | Where is the treasure, Lasting and dear, That shall ensure thee A Happy New Year? |
31647 | Where is your faith? |
31647 | Which do you really care most about-- a diamond on your finger, or a star in the Redeemer''s kingdom, shining for ever and ever? |
31647 | Which is greatest, gifts or grace? |
31647 | Which shall it be? |
31647 | While we have been undervaluing these fractions of eternity, what has our gracious God been doing in them? |
31647 | Whose heart? |
31647 | Why has this been, perhaps again and again? |
31647 | Why not ask him to make these hands of ours more handy for His service, more skilful in what is indicated as the''next thynge''they are to do? |
31647 | Why should only those who have limited means have the privilege of offering to their Lord that which has really cost them something to offer? |
31647 | Why should we hesitate to bear this testimony? |
31647 | Why should you do without Him? |
31647 | Why will you do without Him, And wander on alone? |
31647 | Why will you do without Him? |
31647 | Why will you do without Him? |
31647 | Why will you do without Him? |
31647 | Will you look up into His face and say,''_ Not_ willing''? |
31647 | Will you not henceforth say,''Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me''? |
31647 | Will you not now say,''Take my voice, for I had not given it to Thee; keep my voice, for I can not keep it for Thee''? |
31647 | Will you not seek it? |
31647 | With that thought fresh in your mind as you look at your hand, can you let it take up things which, to say the very least, are not''for Jesus''? |
31647 | Would it not be an unimaginable joy to do what He asked us to do with that money? |
31647 | Would this ensure thee A Happy New Year? |
31647 | Your pleasant pursuits, your harmless recreations, your nice occupations, even your improving ones, what fruit are you having from them? |
31647 | _ All_ for Him, or_ partly_ for Him? |
31647 | _ Does He love you?_ That is the truer way of putting it; for it is not our love to Christ, but the love of Christ to us which constraineth us. |
31647 | _ Your_ hand, do you say? |
31647 | and can we ever hesitate to give_ all_ our poor little hours to His service? |
31647 | and have we ever simply and sincerely asked Him to keep them for His own use? |
31647 | and if He does, should we not trust Him to do this thing that we have asked and longed for, and not less but more? |
31647 | and will He not be faithful to the promise of His name in this, as well as in all else? |
31647 | are we always to stand at the threshold? |
31647 | are we only to look forward to the same disappointing experience over again? |
31647 | books which must and do fill your mind with those''other things''which, entering in, choke the word? |
31647 | books which you would not care to read at all, if your heart were burning within you at the coming of His feet to bless you? |
31647 | how could we have praised Him enough? |
31647 | is mine such blessedness to- day? |
31647 | or rather, should we, for one instant, think about self or self- denial at all? |
31647 | that you are no more satisfied than you were a year ago-- rather less so, if anything? |
31647 | things which evidently can not be used, as they most certainly are not used, either for Him or by Him? |
31647 | to guide us to read or study exactly what He knows there will be use for in the work to which He has called or will call us? |
31647 | what are gases, and vapours, and elements, compared with souls and the eternity for which they are preparing? |
31647 | what is the little leak that hinders the swift and buoyant course of our consecrated life? |
44420 | And is this the doctrine which men call a contracted one? 44420 Doth he not speak parables?" |
44420 | Doth he not speak parables? |
44420 | Is not this written,they have said,"for the ages to come? |
44420 | May we not speak of eternal blessedness? |
44420 | May we speak in the pulpit of slaves? |
44420 | Monotonous is this theme? 44420 Now, what is the meaning of this plain term''Christ''? |
44420 | Shall we not converse, then, on endless misery? |
44420 | Understandest thou what thou readest? |
44420 | --this is the reply--"and you consider this topic a limited one, whose height, depth, length, breadth, no finite mind can measure? |
44420 | All else might go-- it were little;"Why hast thou forsaken me?" |
44420 | And have you still a favorite theme which you have not suggested?" |
44420 | And he said unto me,"Son of man, can these bones live?" |
44420 | And how can this be said? |
44420 | And meantime what is becoming of the countries in which these different confessions are established? |
44420 | And on whom does Jesus pronounce His beatitude? |
44420 | And the first that you hear of him as a penitent man is:"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" |
44420 | And what are all these aspirations? |
44420 | And what are they? |
44420 | And what is it to sleep awhile if I am Christ''s? |
44420 | And what is the burden of her strain? |
44420 | And who have they to assist them? |
44420 | And yet when such trial has been passed we involuntarily say-- has not a foundation been laid? |
44420 | Art thou thyself saved? |
44420 | As the Pharisees said:"Who can forgive sins but God only?" |
44420 | As they said to the apostles so they will say to us:"If this be triumph, what can be defeat? |
44420 | But has such a Church been realized? |
44420 | But how can I verify this assertion? |
44420 | But how can we appreciate the King, unless we learn the nature of the beings over whom He rules? |
44420 | But if Christ desired that His Father''s name should be glorified, how was this to be accomplished? |
44420 | But is the human mind an end worthy of all the contrivances in nature? |
44420 | But is this an ultimate object? |
44420 | But still was He not our brother; the son of man, as we are; the son of God, like ourselves? |
44420 | But the question is further suggested, What is this qualification? |
44420 | But what if this should take place? |
44420 | But when we are long gone to our rest, who can say what shall be the great draft of souls which shall be miraculously taken in England? |
44420 | But who are you? |
44420 | By what medium, or means? |
44420 | Can I not die, since Christ died? |
44420 | Can I not suffer, since Christ suffered? |
44420 | Can the visible Church indeed afford to do without these motives? |
44420 | Can these bones live? |
44420 | Can we by searching find out the whole of atoning love? |
44420 | Can you not speak of Medes and Parthians, Indians and Arabians? |
44420 | Could it ever be renovated? |
44420 | Deliverer? |
44420 | Did you not dispute with the Roman sergeants, plead your cause before the Roman courts? |
44420 | Do they exist for elucidating His power? |
44420 | Do we adopt a Ptolemaic theory in morals, that man is the center of the system, and other worlds revolve round him? |
44420 | Do you appreciate Christ''s matchless excellences? |
44420 | Does the load of earth above me and beneath which I am placed press upon me? |
44420 | Does the present generation believe that which its fathers believed? |
44420 | Does the sun, with all its retinue of stars, pursue its daily course with no aim ulterior to man''s welfare? |
44420 | For how is pure and undefiled religion defined? |
44420 | For if He were not a man, but a god, what are all these things? |
44420 | From what? |
44420 | Had he not told them the plan and method of His own government? |
44420 | Has there ever been a visible organized body of men who carried out this sublime purpose? |
44420 | Have they, or have they not, immortal souls? |
44420 | Have you experienced such a change? |
44420 | Having cast away every sin to embrace him, do you set him above your chiefest joy? |
44420 | His excellence-- was it not human excellence? |
44420 | His knowledge? |
44420 | His love? |
44420 | His wisdom, love, piety,--sweet and celestial as they were,--are they not what we also may attain? |
44420 | How can you prove that there ever was a book called the Word of God? |
44420 | How could they help themselves? |
44420 | How do you know the Scriptures were ever written? |
44420 | How long shall human power exalt itself? |
44420 | How long shall the powers of darkness hold jubilee? |
44420 | How low down in a man sometimes( not always) lies the fundamental motive which sways his life? |
44420 | How will persons sacrifice themselves to their objects? |
44420 | I hear them say"How long shall man triumph? |
44420 | If I might so speak, would you be proud to carry His shoes? |
44420 | If Paul and Jesus could read our books of theological doctrines, would they accept as their teaching what men have vented in their name? |
44420 | If this be triumph, what is defeat? |
44420 | In how much more respect, in how much holier veneration should we hold this body? |
44420 | Is Christianity then to perish out of the heart of the nations, and vanish from the memory of the world, like the religions that were before Abraham? |
44420 | Is all this preaching a mere idle theory of life? |
44420 | Is he like a follower of the Lamb who is raging like a roaring lion? |
44420 | Is he like a pardoned criminal who sits moping with a cloud upon his brow? |
44420 | Is he like an heir of heaven, like a man destined to a crown, who is vexed and fretted with some petty loss? |
44420 | Is he like one in whose bosom the dove of heaven is nestling, who is full of all manner of bile and bitterness? |
44420 | Is it an unspiritual motive? |
44420 | Is it cold? |
44420 | Is not this one of parables concerning the kingdom of God?" |
44420 | Is there some keen passion connected with this world at the bottom? |
44420 | Is there such a heart in you? |
44420 | It is this:"Should a Christian minister out of the pulpit, as well as in the pulpit, know nothing save the Crucified One? |
44420 | It is well to know Christ, but in all the varying scenes of life is it well not to know anything else? |
44420 | Must not everyone conduct business, and sustain cares, which draw his mind away from the atonement?" |
44420 | Must we not call in our minds from Christ and Him crucified, so as to concentrate all our emotions on the simple fact of Christ crucified?" |
44420 | My soul thirsteth after thee as a thirsty land"? |
44420 | Nevertheless, there is a triumph in the Christian world and there is a triumph in the anti- Christian world; and what is it? |
44420 | Of what would you speak?" |
44420 | Of what, then, would you speak?" |
44420 | Oh grave, where is thy victory?" |
44420 | One had asked him,"Father, do you remember me?" |
44420 | Or if not, where is the life itself? |
44420 | Our first inquiry would be:"Is not your theme too contracted? |
44420 | Rather than part with Him, would you part with a thousand worlds? |
44420 | Sent whom? |
44420 | She bends over him, and as her tears fall thick upon his face, she cries,"Do you not remember me?" |
44420 | She stood wondering, when she heard a voice behind her which said,"Woman, why weepest thou?" |
44420 | Since these notions are so fleeting, why need we accept the commandment of men as the doctrine of God? |
44420 | The errors which were once dominant, lordly, confident, and persecuting-- where are they now? |
44420 | The first that you hear of him as a convicted man is in the words:"Who art thou, Lord?" |
44420 | The way in which man bears temptation is what decides his character; yet how secret is the system of temptation? |
44420 | Then, again, unless man received a new nature, how could he sing the new song? |
44420 | There is an accusation which is repeated from age to age against the Catholic and Roman Church; and what is it? |
44420 | They have piled their own rubbish against the temple of truth where piety comes up to worship; what wonder the pile seems unshapely and like to fall? |
44420 | They may well have said to him,"What is this triumph you speak of? |
44420 | This may be latent, not at first sight apparent, nor suspected, but how soon does it appear when put to the proof? |
44420 | To die, if I am like Christ in dying? |
44420 | Too large a theme is the atonement? |
44420 | True, it may not emerge from the struggle of bare endurance here, but has not the seed been sown? |
44420 | Vile in one sense it may be; yet what, although it be covered with sores? |
44420 | Was He ashamed of the lowly and the down- trodden, and those who have become the reproach of men and the despised of the people? |
44420 | Was Jesus, or was He not, crucified for them? |
44420 | Was it possible even for that country which God had blest above all others and man had curst above all others, to breathe and live again? |
44420 | Was there ever a life of less ease and security, yet of more buoyant and rejoicing spirit than his? |
44420 | We are then perhaps at first surprized at the sternness of their sentence, and are ready to say with the trembling disciple,"Who then shall be saved?" |
44420 | Well might He still say,"Have I been so long with you, and yet hast thou not known me?" |
44420 | Were He now on earth, would you leave a throne to stoop and tie His latchet? |
44420 | What His words, His life, His excellence of achievement? |
44420 | What are these men who are rising up to purify the Church? |
44420 | What could all this mean? |
44420 | What do they believe? |
44420 | What else, then, do you prefer for your topic of conversation?" |
44420 | What hath produced such a wonderful difference in public feeling? |
44420 | What is meant by this oneness, or this union? |
44420 | What is the cause of this great change?--how brought about? |
44420 | What is the meaning of it? |
44420 | What is the secret of their power? |
44420 | What is their appeal? |
44420 | What is this which men must possess in order to accomplish Christ''s purpose of inducing the world to believe? |
44420 | What its issue was? |
44420 | What populations are growing up in them? |
44420 | What the real ordeal has been? |
44420 | What then? |
44420 | What tie of home or nation did he not break, that he might join in one of the whole family of God? |
44420 | What was to occur? |
44420 | What weight did he not cast aside, to run the race that was set before him? |
44420 | What wonder the fabric is in peril when tried by fire? |
44420 | What would you have, then, for your theme?" |
44420 | What would you have, then, what can you think of for your choice topic of discourse?" |
44420 | What, although it be clothed in rags? |
44420 | What, although, in unseemly decrepitude, it want its fair proportions? |
44420 | What, for example, can we know in its most important bearings, unless we know the history and office of our Redeemer? |
44420 | Who dared dispute it? |
44420 | Who knows what is going on? |
44420 | Who told you all these things? |
44420 | Why not then of Africans? |
44420 | Why send a message to him? |
44420 | Why this change? |
44420 | Why? |
44420 | Will he not be thus led to"believe the record that God has given us eternal life, and that this life is in his Son?" |
44420 | Will not the pulpit become wearisome if, spring and autumn, summer and winter, it confine itself to a single topic? |
44420 | Will the next generation believe anything?" |
44420 | Will you not be a slave to your unswerving purpose? |
44420 | Will you propose, then, some other theme for your remark?" |
44420 | Would not those modest writers themselves be confounded at the idolatry we pay them? |
44420 | Would you leave father, mother, wife, children, to follow Him, with bleeding feet, over life''s roughest path? |
44420 | You speak of taking your stand, adhering to your decision; but this dry, stiff resolve- comes any genial spirit from it? |
44420 | You speak of your stern purpose, but can you depend upon the continuance of it? |
44420 | Your inflexible rule, will it not be a hard one, wearisome to yourself, disagreeable to others? |

44420 | and be buried, if I am like Christ in being buried? |
44420 | death is passed forever; we shall then put our feet on the neck of the monster and shall be able to say:"Oh death, where is thy sting? |
23772 | In fine horum sex annorum manet[ 1627- 8- 9]--Quid habeo quod non accepi a Domino? |
23772 | Wilt Thou forgive that sin, which I have won Others to sin, and made my sin their door? 23772 3),Do these bones live? |
23772 | A Jupiter, and need an Æsculapius? |
23772 | A god, and need a physician? |
23772 | About midnight he was taken and bound with a kiss, art thou not too conformable to him in that? |
23772 | And being so, the breath of God, I may breathe back these pious expostulations to my God: My God, my God, why is not my soul as sensible as my body? |
23772 | And can the other world name so many venomous, so many consuming, so many monstrous creatures, as we can diseases of all these kinds? |
23772 | And fear famine, though we fear not enemies? |
23772 | And how much less a piece of himself is that man? |
23772 | And how quickly? |
23772 | And in that vehement imprecation, the prophet expresses the highest of God''s anger,_ Give them, O Lord, what wilt thou give them? |
23772 | And is it a question of comfort to be asked now, did your physic make you sick? |
23772 | And shall we, O my God, make less use of those days who have more of them? |
23772 | And then, where is my assurance? |
23772 | And what organ is not well played on if thy hand be upon it? |
23772 | And what other touchstone have we of our gold but comparison, whether we be as happy as others, or as ourselves at other times? |
23772 | And when shall we date this obligation, this_ oportuit_, this necessity? |
23772 | And when thou hast told me that a relapse is more odious to thee, need I ask why it is more dangerous, more pernicious to me? |
23772 | And why, O God, dost thou not speak to me, in that effectual loudness? |
23772 | And why, since I have lost my delight in all objects, can not I discontinue the faculty of seeing them by closing mine eyes in sleep? |
23772 | And would he not spare himself? |
23772 | And would not the angels that fell have fixed themselves upon thee, if thou hadst once readmitted them to thy sight? |
23772 | Any vein so empty as that that blood can not fill it? |
23772 | Are they gods? |
23772 | As my bed is my afflictions, when shall I bear them so as not to murmur at them? |
23772 | At night he went into the garden to pray, and he prayed prolixious, he spent much time in prayer, how much? |
23772 | At the end of these six years remains-- What have I, which I have not received from the Lord? |
23772 | But a cloud? |
23772 | But comes not this expostulation too near a murmuring? |
23772 | But could I though I would? |
23772 | But for all this metaphorical bread, victory over enemies that thought to devour us, may we not fear, that we may lack bread literally? |
23772 | But for the body, how poor a wretched thing is that? |
23772 | But hast thou afforded us no means to evaporate these smokes, to withdraw these vapours? |
23772 | But he, for whose funeral these bells ring now, was at home, at his journey''s end yesterday; why ring they now? |
23772 | But in that case there were bones to be seen, something visible, of which it might be said, Can this thing live? |
23772 | But is every raising a preferment? |
23772 | But is prayer for health in season, as soon as I am sick? |
23772 | But since I do that, shall I not,_ Lord, lift up my face without spot, and be steadfast, and not fear_? |
23772 | But then is that the end of all? |
23772 | But what have I done, either to breed or to breathe these vapours? |
23772 | But what is my assurance now? |
23772 | But what is the present necessary action? |
23772 | But wherefore, O my God, hast thou presented to us the afflictions and calamities of this life in the name of waters? |
23772 | But why did he die? |
23772 | But why do I exercise my meditation so long upon this, of having plentiful help in time of need? |
23772 | But why then, my God, wilt thou not begin them here? |
23772 | But will God pretend to make a watch, and leave out the spring? |
23772 | But, Lord, thou art Lord of hosts, and lovest action; why callest thou me from my calling? |
23772 | But, O my God, can I do this, and fear thee; come to thee and speak to thee, in all places, at all hours, and fear thee? |
23772 | But, O my God, my God, do I that have this fever need other remembrances of my mortality? |
23772 | But, O my God, my God, since I have my ship and they theirs, I have them and they have thee, why are we yet no nearer land? |
23772 | But, O my God, my God, since heaven is glory and joy, why do not glorious and joyful things lead us, induce us to heaven? |
23772 | But, O my God, why is it so? |
23772 | By what measure did Jacob measure his life to Pharaoh? |
23772 | Certainly this decree by which Christ was to suffer all this was an eternal decree, and was there any thing before that that was eternal? |
23772 | Could I fit myself to stand or sit in any man''s place, and not to lie in any man''s grave? |
23772 | Dare I ask this question? |
23772 | Did his exemption and freedom from original sin preserve him from this corruption and incineration? |
23772 | Did the hypostatical union of both natures, God and man, preserve him from this corruption and incineration? |
23772 | Dost thou command me to speak to thee, and command me to fear thee; and do these destroy one another? |
23772 | Dost thou look, that I should so look to the fuel or embers of sin, that I never take fire? |
23772 | Dost thou not mean this when thou sayest,_ we shall understand the fear of the Lord_? |
23772 | Dost thou think to find it, as thou madest it, in Adam? |
23772 | Doth thy Son dwell bodily in this flesh that thou shouldst look for an unspottedness here? |
23772 | First, this is the day of thy visitation, thy coming to me; and would I look to be welcome to thee, and not entertain thee in thy coming to me? |
23772 | Hast thou gone about to redeem thy sin, by fasting, by alms, by disciplines and mortifications, in way of satisfaction to the justice of God? |
23772 | His soul is gone, whither? |
23772 | Honours, pleasures, possessions, presented to us out of time? |
23772 | How far did thy servant David press upon thy pardon in that petition,_ Cleanse thou me from secret sins_? |
23772 | How many men are raised, and then do not fill the place they are raised to? |
23772 | How many men that stand at an execution, if they would ask, For what dies that man? |
23772 | How much more might I, who was in the bed of death, die? |
23772 | How much oftener doth he exhibit a metaphorical Christ, than a real, a literal? |
23772 | How often, how much more often, doth thy Son call himself a way, and a light, and a gate, and a vine, and bread, than the Son of God, or of man? |
23772 | How shall I bring to thy knowledge, by that way, those sins which I myself know not? |
23772 | How shall I do that which thou requirest, and not falsify that which thou hast said, that sin is gone over all? |
23772 | I am the dust and the ashes of the temple of the Holy Ghost, and what marble is so precious? |
23772 | I do nothing, I know nothing of myself; how little and how impotent a piece of the world is any man alone? |
23772 | I know( for thou hast said it) that there are men whose damnation sleepeth not;[215] but shall not they to whom thou art salvation sleep? |
23772 | I must then speak to thee at all times, but when must I fear thee? |
23772 | I was whipped by thy rod, before I came to consultation, to consider my state; and shall I go no farther? |
23772 | If I accuse myself of original sin, wilt thou ask me if I know what original sin is? |
23772 | If I confess to thee the sins of my youth, wilt thou ask me if I know what those sins were? |
23772 | If I sleep not, shall I not be well in their sense? |
23772 | If a choleric man be ready to strike, must I go about to purge his choler, or to break the blow? |
23772 | If he who, as this bell tells me, is gone now, were some excellent artificer, who comes to him for a cloak or for a garment now? |
23772 | If man had been left alone in this world at first, shall I think that he would not have fallen? |
23772 | If that be thy language in this voice, how infinitely am I bound to thy heavenly Majesty for speaking so plainly unto me? |
23772 | If there had been no woman, would not man have served to have been his own tempter? |
23772 | If these bells that warn to a funeral now, were appropriated to none, may not I, by the hour of the funeral, supply? |
23772 | If this imaginary, half- nothing time, be of the essence of our happinesses, how can they be thought durable? |
23772 | If we say, Can this dust live? |
23772 | In this sin, and in all your sins, doth not the resisting of thy particular helps at last draw upon us the guiltiness of all our former sins? |
23772 | Is it because some abuses may have crept in amongst Christians? |
23772 | Is it enough to refuse it, because it was in use among the Gentiles? |
23772 | Is it not evidently so in our affections, in our passions? |
23772 | Is it not so in states too? |
23772 | Is it not so in the accidents of the diseases of our mind too? |
23772 | Is not mine own hollow voice, voice enough to pronounce that to me? |
23772 | Is not my meditation rather to be inclined another way, to condole and commiserate their distress who have none? |
23772 | Is not that too literally, too exactly thy case, at midnight to have been taken and bound with a kiss? |
23772 | Is not this to hang a man at his own door, to lay him sick in his own bed of wantonness? |
23772 | Is not this, O my God, a holy kind of raising up seed to my dead brother, if I, by the meditation of his death produce a better life in myself? |
23772 | Is that enough, that their ringing hath been said to drive away evil spirits? |
23772 | Is that joy and that glory but a comparative glory and a comparative joy? |
23772 | Is the glory of heaven no perfecter in itself, but that it needs a foil of depression and ingloriousness in this world, to set it off? |
23772 | Is the joy of heaven no perfecter in itself, but that it needs the sourness of this life to give it a taste? |
23772 | Is there any more? |
23772 | Is there any other measure of the greatness of my danger, than the greatness of thy displeasure? |
23772 | Is there any thing incurable, upon which that balm drops? |
23772 | It is my study; doth not my calling call for that? |
23772 | It is my thoughtfulness; was I not made to think? |
23772 | It is the union of the body and soul, and, O my God, could I prevent that, or can I dissolve that? |
23772 | Jonah slept in one dangerous storm,[218] and thy blessed Son in another;[219] shall I have no use, no benefit, no application of those great examples? |
23772 | Must we look to be drowned? |
23772 | My God, my God, what am I put to when I am put to consider and put off the root, the fuel, the occasion of my sickness? |
23772 | My God, my God, wouldst thou call thyself the ancient of days,[194] if we were not to call ourselves to an account for our days? |
23772 | Nay, is it not so( at least much towards it) even in the exercise of virtues? |
23772 | Need I look upon a death''s head in a ring, that have one in my face? |
23772 | No? |
23772 | Not lie down upon it, as it is my pleasure, not sink under it, as it is my correction? |
23772 | Now, whom doth it concern to learn both the danger and benefit of death? |
23772 | O what a giant is man when he fights against himself, and what a dwarf when he needs or exercises his own assistance for himself? |
23772 | O who, if before he had a being he could have sense of this misery, would buy a being here upon these conditions? |
23772 | Oh, have I always done so? |
23772 | Quid apertius diceretur?_ says he there, what can be more obvious, more manifest than this sense of these words? |
23772 | Quid apertius diceretur?_ says he there, what can be more obvious, more manifest than this sense of these words? |
23772 | Shall I find thee in bed? |
23772 | Shall that slacken my hope? |
23772 | Shall this come to such a leprosy in my body that I must die alone; alone without them that should assist, that should comfort me? |
23772 | Since the whole sickness is thy physic, shall any accident in it be my poison by my murmuring? |
23772 | The root and the fuel of my sickness is my sin, my actual sin; but even that sin hath another root, another fuel, original sin; and can I divest that? |
23772 | They never relapsed; if I do, must not my case be as desperate? |
23772 | They tell me it is my melancholy; did I infuse, did I drink in melancholy into myself? |
23772 | This is man''s prerogative; but what state hath he in this dignity? |
23772 | This soul this bell tells me is gone out, whither? |
23772 | Though it be well with them at one time, may they not fear that it may be worse? |
23772 | Thy first breath breathed a soul into me, and shall thy breath blow it out? |
23772 | Thy method is,_ In time of thy sickness, be not negligent_: wherein wilt thou have my diligence expressed? |
23772 | Time is not so; how can they be thought to be? |
23772 | To this bed? |
23772 | Was I not sick before? |
23772 | Was that it that my physic promised, to make me sick? |
23772 | We rejoice in the comfort of fire, but does any man cleave to it at midsummer? |
23772 | We say often that a man may live of a little; but, alas, of how much less may a man die? |
23772 | We, who have not only the day of the prophets, the first days, but the last days, in which thou hast spoken unto us by thy Son? |
23772 | What Hippocrates, what Galen, could show me that in my body? |
23772 | What fugitive, what almsman of any foreign state, can do so much harm as a detractor, a libeller, a scornful jester at home? |
23772 | What gave him this privilege? |
23772 | What preserved him then? |
23772 | What shall I do? |
23772 | What will not kill a man if a vapour will? |
23772 | When art thou so ready, when is it so seasonable to thee, to commiserate, as in misery? |
23772 | When didst thou rebuke any petitioner with the name of importunate? |
23772 | When didst thou search mine? |
23772 | When shall I take up my bed and walk? |
23772 | When shall men leave their uncharitable disputations, which is to take place, faith or repentance, and which, when we consider faith and works? |
23772 | When shall we say that began? |
23772 | When thou bidst me_ to put off the old man_,[329] dost thou mean not only my old habits of actual sin, but the oldest of all, original sin? |
23772 | When wilt thou bid me_ take up my bed and walk_? |
23772 | When wilt thou do all? |
23772 | When wilt thou speak in thy loud voice? |
23772 | Whither shall I come to thee? |
23772 | Who bends not his ear to any bell which upon any occasion rings? |
23772 | Who can that be, says he, but Jesus? |
23772 | Who casts not up his eye to the sun when it rises? |
23772 | Who comes to a day of hearing, in a cause of any importance, with one advocate? |
23772 | Who saw it come in, or who saw it go out? |
23772 | Who shall tell me that? |
23772 | Whom? |
23772 | Why are there not always waters in mine eyes, to testify my spiritual sickness? |
23772 | Why do I ask? |
23772 | Why dost thou melt me, scatter me, pour me like water upon the ground so instantly? |
23772 | Why is none of the heaviness of my heart dispensed into mine eye- lids, that they might fall as my heart doth? |
23772 | Why is there not always a pulse in my soul to beat at the approach of a temptation to sin? |
23772 | Why should not that be always good by which thou hast declared thy plentiful goodness to us? |
23772 | Why should we fear them? |
23772 | Why should we look for it in a disease, which is the disorder, the discord, the irregularity, the commotion and rebellion of the body? |
23772 | Why then, O my God, my blessed God, in the ways of my spiritual strength, come I so slow to action? |
23772 | Why, O my God, is a relapse so odious to thee? |
23772 | Wilt Thou forgive that sin through which I run, And do run still, though still I do deplore? |
23772 | Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun A year or two:--but wallow''d in a score? |
23772 | Wilt thou bid me to separate the leaven that a lump of dough hath received, or the salt, that the water hath contracted, from the sea? |
23772 | Wilt thou give me an inheritance, a filiation, any thing for my heart? |
23772 | Wilt thou make thy process and thy decree, thy citation and thy judgment, but one act? |
23772 | Wouldst thou chide us for_ standing idle here all the day_,[195] if we were sure to have more days to make up our harvest? |
23772 | [ 12] Is there a verier child than I am now? |
23772 | [ 139] Can any sin be secret? |
23772 | [ 147] Am I thy Son as long as I have but my heart? |
23772 | [ 150] Dost thou remember this, and wouldst thou have my heart? |
23772 | [ 15] How shall they come to thee whom thou hast nailed to their bed? |
23772 | [ 185] or hath thy Son himself no spots, who hath all our stains and deformities in him? |
23772 | [ 188] Lord, if thou look for a spotlessness, whom wilt thou look upon? |
23772 | [ 225] Since thy blessed Son rebuked his disciples for sleeping, shall I murmur because I do not sleep? |
23772 | [ 250] Should we do so? |
23772 | [ 270] Since thou art so, O my God, and affliction is a sea too deep for us, what is our refuge? |
23772 | [ 280] Why have not they and I this dispatch? |
23772 | [ 288] Dost thou not( at least) send us first to the hand? |
23772 | [ 28] My God, my God, how soon wouldst thou have me go to the physician, and how far wouldst thou have me go with the physician? |
23772 | [ 314] As my bed is my affections, when shall I bear them so as to subdue them? |
23772 | [ 364] And when God asked him,_ Dost thou well to be angry for this?_ he replies,_ I do well to be angry, even unto death_. |
23772 | [ 37] Have I, O Lord, done so? |
23772 | [ 71] Shall a fear of thee take away my devotion to thee? |
23772 | _ Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well_,[220] say thy Son''s disciples to him of Lazarus; and shall there be no room for that argument in me? |
23772 | _ Nonne terram dedit filiis hominum?_ How then hath God given this earth to the sons of men? |
23772 | _ Nonne terram dedit filiis hominum?_ How then hath God given this earth to the sons of men? |
23772 | _ The Lord is my help and my salvation, whom shall I fear?_[74] Great enemies? |
23772 | _ The Most High uttered his voice._ What was his voice? |
23772 | _ Thou givest thy beloved sleep_:[216] shall I lack that seal of thy love? |
23772 | _ What is man, and whereto serveth he? |
23772 | _ You shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid_:[217] shall I be outlawed from that protection? |
23772 | _ Young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing._[76] Never? |
23772 | and how lame a picture, how faint a representation is that, of the precipitation of man''s body to dissolution? |
23772 | and that herein, in a show of humility and thankfulness, I magnify myself more than there is cause? |
23772 | and what a minute is man''s life in respect of the sun''s, or of a tree? |
23772 | and why die so? |
23772 | and yet how little of our life is occasion, opportunity to receive good in; and how little of that occasion do we apprehend and lay hold of? |
23772 | are they bottomless, are they boundless? |
23772 | but who can remove it from that bell which is passing a piece of himself out of this world? |
23772 | but who takes off his eye from a comet when that breaks out? |
23772 | how much do we lack of having remedies for every disease, when as yet we have not names for them? |
23772 | if a magistrate, for justice? |
23772 | leave no other answer, but that the hand of death pressed upon him from the first minute? |
23772 | not heal me wholly? |
23772 | not heal me? |
23772 | not if this evil determine in death? |
23772 | not such in itself, but such in comparison of the joylessness and the ingloriousness of this world? |
23772 | or for counsel, if he were a lawyer? |
23772 | or go for death to my neighbour''s house, that have him in my bosom? |
23772 | or is every present preferment a station? |
23772 | or is the Holy Ghost the soul of this body, as he is of thy spouse, who is therefore_ all fair, and no spot in her_? |
23772 | or shall I be open to the contrary? |
23772 | or will God make a spring, and not wind it up? |
23772 | or wilt thou take from them that evidence, and that testimony that they are thy Israel, or thou their salvation? |
23772 | should hear their own faults condemned, and see themselves executed by attorney? |
23772 | so odious? |
23772 | so often in the name of waters, and deep waters, and seas of waters? |
23772 | thus,_ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart_? |
23772 | to make so many various wheels in the faculties of the soul, and in the organs of the body, and leave out grace, that should move them? |
23772 | what is my seal? |
23772 | when thou madest them? |
44439 | How is it that ye sought me? 44439 I wish,"said a great man of our day,"that some one would preach under the dome of St. Paul''s, on the text,''Where art thou, Adam?''" |
44439 | The Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? |
44439 | The Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? |
44439 | We thus judge, that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him who--owns them? |
44439 | Where art thou? |
44439 | Where art thou? |
44439 | Who that has felt its glance of dread Thrill through his heart''s remotest cells, About his path, about his bed, Can doubt what spirit in it dwells? |
44439 | A musical instrument may discourse sacred melodies better than the holiest lips can sing them, but who thinks of commending it for its piety? |
44439 | Am I not availing myself of the faculties which Thou has given to make myself respectable, and useful, and exemplary in my generation? |
44439 | Am I not discharging the duties of my station? |
44439 | Am I not doing Thy work? |
44439 | Am I not setting an example of diligence and sobriety? |
44439 | And can we not trust Him? |
44439 | And did He not do the same in the sixteenth century? |
44439 | And do they not speak to us? |
44439 | And have they already collapsed and gone, like last year''s flowers struck with frost, back again to the mold? |
44439 | And hell? |
44439 | And if not so controlled, is not the alternative as to His character even more fearful? |
44439 | And if this be our human judgment, what must the divine judgment be? |
44439 | And is not man''s soul a part of nature-- the highest part? |
44439 | And is there not a presumption, following the line of a man''s best manhood, that immortality is true? |
44439 | And now-- How is the earth shaken, and the heavens likewise, in that very sense in which the expression is used by him who wrote to the Hebrews? |
44439 | And whence came this earnestness? |
44439 | And why may not the highest of all hopes and joys possess the same all- pervading influence? |
44439 | And with these thoughts come others about moral retribution--"What is its purpose? |
44439 | And you will rejoice-- will you not? |
44439 | And"can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
44439 | Are there any here present-- God grant that they be many!--who have yet one other answer to return to the question on which we have dwelt? |
44439 | Are they not as true now as when they struck upon the shivering ear of Nicodemus? |
44439 | Are they not rising toward the ineffable? |
44439 | Art thou doing the work I gave thee to do? |
44439 | Art thou happy? |
44439 | Art thou safe? |
44439 | Art thou useful? |
44439 | Brethren, are you of that happy family? |
44439 | But is this the highest, the religious sanction of morality? |
44439 | But we ask, perhaps, thirdly: How does God call to us? |
44439 | But what God has cleansed, why should we call common or unclean? |
44439 | But what is anything that is organized in life worth in comparison with the soul of a man? |
44439 | But who is equal to the task of handling it? |
44439 | But yet, indeed, am I not providing for that other world in making a proper use of this? |
44439 | Can God, in this respect, be at once less merciful and less powerful than men? |
44439 | Can a parent go back from the grave where he has laid his children and say,"I shall never see them more?" |
44439 | Can it, can any punishment have any right purpose save the correction, or the annihilation, of the criminal? |
44439 | Can such a love do other than yearn for immortality? |
44439 | Can there be one morality for God, and another for man, made in the image of God? |
44439 | Claims them? |
44439 | Did He not then sweep from the minds and hearts of half Christendom beliefs which had been sacred and indubitable for a thousand years? |
44439 | Do you know God by His"new name"? |
44439 | Does not our experience of the friendship of Jesus correspond with what we are taught of it in the Scriptures? |
44439 | Does not the nature of every man that is high and noble revolt at flesh and matter? |
44439 | Does not"the Spirit witness with our spirit that we are born of God"? |
44439 | Does one need to go into a rigorous logical examination of this subject? |
44439 | Easy? |
44439 | Easy? |
44439 | Easy? |
44439 | Easy? |
44439 | Easy? |
44439 | Easy? |
44439 | Easy? |
44439 | Easy? |
44439 | From whence did their conscience and judgment come? |
44439 | Had not even the heathens believed as much, and said so, by the mouth of the poet Virgil? |
44439 | Have we not the foretokens of it? |
44439 | Have we, if our religion be real, no anticipation of happiness in the glorious future? |
44439 | Have you entered upon it, or are you now willing to enter upon it? |
44439 | Have you learned to say,"Our Father which art in heaven"? |
44439 | Have you obtained life from the dead through His name? |
44439 | Heaven? |
44439 | How can I do all this, and yet be religious? |
44439 | How can I find time for both worlds at once? |
44439 | How can we help believing in it, while we see it working around us, in many a fearful shape, here, now, in this life? |
44439 | How could He, if He be the same yesterday, to- day, and for ever? |
44439 | How could He, who said of Himself,"My Father worketh hitherto, and I work"? |
44439 | How is it calculated to influence our manhood? |
44439 | How is it here briefly exprest? |
44439 | How is it? |
44439 | How shall it be used to work most effectually in the direction of civilization and refinement? |
44439 | I know not how else to express the force of the inquiry,"Where art thou?" |
44439 | I must not accept the dictates of my own conscience; for is it not my own, and is not trust in self the great fault of our fallen nature?" |
44439 | In what way shall it be employed to lead man God- ward? |
44439 | Is He so controlled by necessity that He is forced to bring into the world beings whom he knows to be incorrigible, and doomed to endless misery? |
44439 | Is it enough to have been born, to have lived till one is of age, and then to be launched out to founder in mid- ocean? |
44439 | Is it not a strange thing? |
44439 | Is it not rather the anarchy of hate, injustice, impurity, uselessness; wherein abides all that is opposed to God?" |
44439 | Is it well with thee in the future? |
44439 | Is it well with thee in the present? |
44439 | Is it yours? |
44439 | Is not that the eternal heaven wherein God abides for ever, and with Him those who are like God? |
44439 | Is not the analogy of the faculties one that leads us to believe that there is some such thing? |
44439 | Is not the human soul, then, itself a witness of the truth of immortality? |
44439 | Is not the thought revolting to every instinct of manhood? |
44439 | Is not the true and real heaven the kingdom of love, justice, purity, beneficence? |
44439 | Is not this"the witness of the Spirit,"the"earnest of the promised possession"? |
44439 | Is that His justice, that His love, which if we copied, we should call each other, and deservedly, utterly unjust and unloving? |
44439 | Is that only a thin film which reflects the transient experiences of a life of joy or sadness, and goes out? |
44439 | Is there any matter outside of mind that produces thought and feeling such as we see evolved among men? |
44439 | Is there no"rest that remaineth for the people of God,"no home and loving heart awaiting us when the toils of our hurried day of life are ended? |
44439 | Is this enough in the day of distress and bankruptcy? |
44439 | It might have been put, it is put in the Bible, in different forms-- but how is it here exprest? |
44439 | It says,"What is thy present place as a man with a soul, as an immortal being? |
44439 | It was the voice of the Lord God within, calling to Adam, and saying,"Where art thou?" |
44439 | Men are asking questions about the heaven, the spiritual world, and saying,"The spiritual world? |
44439 | My friend, believest thou the Scriptures? |
44439 | My friends, do you really believe in that kingdom, and in that King? |
44439 | Nay, my friends, would not these solemn words startle many of us? |
44439 | No matter how it was born, what purpose is it to serve? |
44439 | Now, to whom does He here speak? |
44439 | O Jesus of Nazareth, who can declare Thee? |
44439 | Oh, who could stand when that inquirer appeared? |
44439 | Oh, who might abide the scrutiny of that question? |
44439 | Or shall we degenerate into faithless fears, and unmanly wailings that the flood of infidelity is irresistible, and that Christ has left His Church? |
44439 | Or, putting it in another form, will you say that God could not have prevented evil? |
44439 | ROBERTSON 1816- 1853 THE LONELINESS OF CHRIST_ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? |
44439 | Should we not say-- We know that Christ has been so doing, for centuries and for ages? |
44439 | Tell me, who caused you to be born where and what you were? |
44439 | That if new truths are being discovered, Christ Himself may be revealing them? |
44439 | That if opinions be changing, then Christ Himself may be changing them? |
44439 | That if some of those truths seem to contradict those which He has revealed already, they do not really contradict them? |
44439 | The Father-- the Father which is with us and in us-- what does He think? |
44439 | The actions of an automaton may be outwardly the same as those of a moral agent, but who attributes to them goodness or badness? |
44439 | The lonely spirit answered,"Do ye now believe? |
44439 | The question is not how it started; the question is, What becomes of it now that it has begun? |
44439 | The world is so gay, so amusing, so exciting: hast Thou not made it so for our enjoyment? |
44439 | Then, what is life worth? |
44439 | There are, at last, the words uttered-- few and plain, yet, when looked into, big with meaning--"Where art thou?" |
44439 | Thou sayest to me, O Lord,"Where art thou?" |
44439 | To live surrounded by objects which appeal to the sight, and yet to endure as seeing what is invisible? |
44439 | To resist that subtle foe who has cast down so many of the wise and the mighty? |
44439 | To take the judgment and conscience of other men to live by, where is the humility of that? |
44439 | To"crucify the flesh,""to deny ungodliness,""to cut off a right hand, and to pluck out a right eye"? |
44439 | Was evil really unavoidable in a proper moral system? |
44439 | Was that dust, then? |
44439 | Was the fountain from which they drew exhausted for you? |
44439 | We are building a crystal character with much pain and self- denial; and it is to be built as bubbles are blown? |

8906 | She was glad to see him;"but what,"said she,"is Duke Town coming to when its carpenter travels on the Sabbath Day?" |
8906 | She was invited up, and was not five minutes in Mary''s presence before the latter said,"And what are you doing at home? |
8906 | Should I tell my Mother what to do? |
8906 | Surely God had made a mistake in going to Okoyong in such a guise? |
8906 | The latter remarked to him,"I see Miss Slessor wants a man to put in her doors and windows-- why do n''t you go to Calabar?" |
8906 | They are quiet until she denounces the sale of the liquor; then one interrupts:"What for white man bring them rum suppose them rum no be good? |
8906 | To the mother she says,"Do you not find comfort in these words?" |
8906 | Turning to the men she said,"Will the gentlemen kindly go away?" |
8906 | Was it a ruse to get her out of the yard? |
8906 | Was n''t it good of my Father to give me such a treat? |
8906 | Was she not running as fast as her weak and breathless state allowed her? |
8906 | Was she right, after all, in taking so great a risk? |

8906 | What was that? |
8906 | What would she find at the end? |
8906 | When are you coming to us?" |
8906 | When she received his letter she said to herself,"Shall I go?" |
8906 | When she received the august- looking document asking her to accept the honour, she said to herself,"Now, who has done this? |
8906 | Where are the men? |
8906 | Where are the soldiers of the Cross? |
8906 | Where are they? |
8906 | Who am I, and what is my distinction that I should have it?" |
8906 | Who was to be the first to settle in it-- official, trader, or missionary? |
8906 | Who would mother them in this sink of iniquity?" |
8906 | Why do n''t they use the money on hand for the purpose? |
8906 | Why have you delayed to send us a letter? |
8906 | Why should not the Church do the same when the roads are here? |
8906 | Why should the Queen have good soldiers and not the King of Kings?" |
8906 | Why should we not be like the apostle in his confident outburst of praise and assurance,''For I am persuaded...''?" |
8906 | Would it be possible for her ever to become a missionary? |
8906 | Would the natives be fighting or drinking or dancing? |
8906 | Would you not rather sit at home and nurse your sorrow?" |
8906 | Would, she asked, the same privilege be extended to it as to the Mission buildings in Calabar? |
8906 | _ Is it not forgetting that God ca n''t give His best till we have given ours? |
8906 | and are you all trying to serve and please Jesus your Lord? |
8906 | and have you been good? |
8906 | exclaimed"Ma,""you can not come within my gate?" |
8906 | they asked,"Am I not here?" |
44450 | And what next--so the listeners ask--"what was the next step made?" |
44450 | And you, O disciple dearly loved, what of you and your brethren? |
44450 | Do ye now believe? 44450 How much is that man worth?" |
44450 | Master, where dwellest thou? |
44450 | What think ye of the Christ? |
44450 | Whom seek ye? |
44450 | ''Have I not chosen you twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?'' |
44450 | ''Will ye also go away?'' |
44450 | A man may disrobe; what more can be done? |
44450 | A really earnest, humble consecration to God? |
44450 | Alexander, CÃ ¦ sar, Charlemagne, and myself founded great empires; but upon what did the creations of our genius depend? |
44450 | And Charles Wesley''s melancholy is the most attractive in the world-- Oh, when shall we sweetly move? |
44450 | And do you really think that the world will ever be converted in that way? |
44450 | And he saith,"But who say ye that I am?" |
44450 | And once again, in the haste of the resurrection morning, what was the moment and what was the scene which turned his despair into belief? |
44450 | And so what is faith? |
44450 | And they say, What have we got to do now? |
44450 | And they-- they hardly knew what to say-- only they must see Him, must go with Him; and they stammered out:"Rabbi, where dwellest thou?" |
44450 | And what are the rest of us doing? |
44450 | And what did our Lord Himself say to St. Peter about his fall? |
44450 | And what does all this teach us? |
44450 | And what is the meaning of that sacrifice, if it be not to teach us that God counts no price too great to pay for the redemption of the human soul? |
44450 | And what next did they learn? |
44450 | And what, oh, what shall I do?" |
44450 | And yet what has it done but make known to us a universe infinitely more wonderful and sublime than men had ever dreamed of? |
44450 | And, then, how shall it be restored? |
44450 | Are we not under the strongest possible obligations to account for Jesus Christ? |
44450 | Are you musing in your heart which of them may be your guide and master, which is the Christ? |
44450 | Are you not of more value than many sparrows?" |
44450 | Are you yet at the beginning, looking wistfully, with hungry eyes, after a hundred gallant human heroes who point you this way and that? |
44450 | But have we gotten rid entirely of the premise on which it rested? |
44450 | But how can we account for the perfection of His humanity, if we deny the reality of His divinity? |
44450 | But is not this far too often accompanied by a revolt from all dogmatic truth? |
44450 | But what does follow? |
44450 | But what is evangelization? |
44450 | But what is it to"believe in Christ?" |
44450 | But, dear friends, am I right in saying that this frame is a Christian frame? |
44450 | Can He whose life they tell be Himself no more than a mere man?... |
44450 | Can he be a man capable, not only of acting for himself, but capable, by that subtle and magical influence, of arousing the activity of others? |
44450 | Can it be that writings at once so sublime and so simple are the work of men? |
44450 | Can we demand a fairer world than God will make? |
44450 | Can we do that? |
44450 | Can we imagine better than God can do? |
44450 | Can we then wonder at all forms of opposition meeting us? |
44450 | Certainly, but which is the fact, that or this? |
44450 | Christ came to cast fire on earth, and what does He desire but that it be kindled? |
44450 | David fell-- deep as man can fall; but what does he say in that great fifty- first Psalm, in which he confesses his sin? |
44450 | Did the medieval Church never regret the act by which it drove forth the Waldenses into schism? |
44450 | Did you ever hear a satisfactory definition of laughter? |
44450 | Do they wear too dark a hue at times? |
44450 | Do you believe it? |
44450 | Do you believe it?" |
44450 | Do you know what the word"bless"means, what it was derived from? |
44450 | Do you remember the story of the portrait of Dante which is painted upon the walls of Bargello, at Florence? |
44450 | Do you say, What can I do, because the light round me is like unto darkness? |
44450 | Do you say, What is the use of fighting, for where I stand we have barely held our own? |
44450 | Do you think walking up to the cannon''s mouth would have been difficult to that man? |
44450 | Does he possess the third? |
44450 | Does it seem that the perfect life for the individual, and for the race, is too sublime, that it is a distant and unattainable ideal? |
44450 | Does not the Scripture itself go even further? |
44450 | Does not the commercial view of life still prevail in civilized society? |
44450 | Does the difficulty lie in the event or in the method of approaching it? |
44450 | Does the religion of Christ, the absolute and abiding faith, need the defense of concealment, or of sophistical apology, or of lies? |
44450 | Does there not come a time when we feel that the power, as it were, of things has forsaken us? |
44450 | Facts? |
44450 | God made His minister a flame of fire in the dark and cold, else could Christ have conquered? |
44450 | Has He not been working in the saints who have reminded the world of God? |
44450 | Has a man faith in the Lord Jesus Christ who simply does not disbelieve in him? |
44450 | Has it slipt into the water? |
44450 | Has our Church never regretted the day when it looked askance at the work of John Wesley? |
44450 | Has the ax- head gone? |
44450 | Has the splendid hope of Christ been falsified? |
44450 | Have there been no grounds for optimism? |
44450 | Have ye each made this yet sufficiently a matter of prayer, of self- denial, of deep, faithful trusting all to God? |
44450 | Have you any right to expect that it should be converted in that way? |
44450 | Have you ever thought how St. Paul was actually driven to use the awful language of the passion when he described his own life? |
44450 | Have you met your tempter yet? |
44450 | Have you never seen a group of evil- doers deliberately set themselves to ruin a newcomer, scoffing at his innocence and enticing him to their orgies? |
44450 | Have you never seen it? |
44450 | Have you read the memoir of Brainerd? |
44450 | He claimed to be God, and if His claim be not true, how can he be good? |
44450 | He knows his malady; now how shall he be cured of it? |
44450 | He said,"Was Paul crucified for you?" |
44450 | How came He to be the contemporary of all the ages? |
44450 | How came He to emancipate Himself from the sectarianism and sectionalism of His country and century? |
44450 | How can it be restored? |
44450 | How did such ideas come into the human mind? |
44450 | How do young people begin, most of them? |
44450 | How does the Gethsemane come? |
44450 | How far have you come in this pathway of faith? |
44450 | How have our liberties been secured? |
44450 | How long shall there be this suspense, as that of early dawn ere the sunshine fills the twilight? |
44450 | How much is a man better than a sheep? |
44450 | How shall we account for the height to which that stream rose? |
44450 | How, then, can you explain faith? |
44450 | How, then, will it be received by those into whose hand is placed the responsibility of its guidance? |
44450 | I may not deny that what the gospel says is true, but is that believing? |
44450 | I put then the question with the_ utmost_ directness,"What think ye of Christ?" |
44450 | I think an hour is the longest that anybody could bear it--"Could ye not watch with me one hour?" |
44450 | If that source were simply human, how can we account for the superhuman height which it reached? |
44450 | If we could ascend to heaven to- day and scan the ranks of the blest, should we not find multitudes among them who were once sunk low as man can fall? |
44450 | If we have no great masters, how shall we hope to have eager and loving disciples? |
44450 | If we leave half the race in ignorance, how shall we hope to lift the other half into the light of truth and love? |
44450 | If you wanted to make a man laugh, would you attempt to define laughter to him? |
44450 | If, then, we accept this view of life, what answer can we give to the question, how much is a man better than a sheep? |
44450 | In the event, or, perhaps, in the mental or moral constitution of the people who contemplate it? |
44450 | Invest it, and then what do you do? |
44450 | Is he a man, in fact, who can make his influence felt among the men of his day? |
44450 | Is he in touch with his time? |
44450 | Is it advancement? |
44450 | Is it conceivable that human error shall prevail against God''s truth? |
44450 | Is it long to wait, hard to fight, difficult to keep up the spirit during the discouragements that beset all missionary life? |
44450 | Is it merely the pursuit of happiness? |
44450 | Is it not rather a book of life, of literature, full of symbols and metaphors and poetry? |
44450 | Is it possible to look on the great, eager, yearning, doubting, and suffering life of man, and not to feel infinite desire to be of help? |
44450 | Is it promotion? |
44450 | Is not He the standard of humanity now, and is not He its Redeemer? |
44450 | Is not that conceivable? |
44450 | Is not that possible? |
44450 | Is not theology, like the other sciences, bound to accept facts? |
44450 | Is the Bible itself written with the rigid exactness of a mathematical treatise? |
44450 | Is this wise, and is it well? |
44450 | It appeared so, but was it so? |
44450 | Left? |
44450 | Mark how towers herald the approach to the towns and cities, and ask what they stand there for? |
44450 | My brethren, where do you stand? |
44450 | My brothers, if a few men can honestly say this to us in the future, will it not be better than Greek and Roman fame? |
44450 | My friend, what sort of a life are you living? |
44450 | Nay, Lord, to whom shall we go? |
44450 | Nevertheless, to the unsaved no question is more bewildering than this:"What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" |
44450 | Not only cunning casts in clay: Let science prove we are, and then What matters science unto men, At least to me? |
44450 | Now do you not think you can see how it is that the eternal Son shed His blood in Gethsemane, and offered Himself immaculate to God on Calvary? |
44450 | Now, as they journeyed southward through CÃ ¦ sarea Philippi, He asked them,"Who do men say that I am?" |
44450 | Now, what is it that should follow when we have parted with our life and lived our Gethsemane; what should be the effect upon our lives? |
44450 | O death, where is thy sting?" |
44450 | O loving and divine John, the Evangelist, what thinkest thou of the Christ? |
44450 | Oh, when shall our souls be at rest? |
44450 | Or had each its own due place at least in hastening the coming of the kingdom, and in determining when the fulness of time had arrived? |
44450 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
44450 | Shall we dread the results of historical research? |
44450 | So soon made happy? |
44450 | Suppose, then, that we come to Him with this question: How much is a man better than a sheep? |
44450 | The fiery moment arrives; do we stand; do we fall? |
44450 | The people who looked at the mob of Jerusalem, or the man who saw the coming generations? |
44450 | There is more of courage and manhood needed for them than for walking up to the cannon''s mouth? |
44450 | This brings us to the matter in hand: What shall I do to be saved? |
44450 | Tho all men forsake thee yet will not I; and in spite of all, I believe, and am sure that thou art the Christ, the holy one of God?" |
44450 | To die? |
44450 | To send Bibles, to deliver the message to everybody? |
44450 | To suffer? |
44450 | To the jailer of Philippi who, in sudden conviction, was moved to cry,"What shall I do?" |
44450 | To whom can I go? |
44450 | Was he not right? |
44450 | Was it the reaction of detecting the quiet tokens of deliberate purpose there, where all had seemed to him a very chaos of confusion? |
44450 | Was it the sudden sense that struck him of order and seemliness as of a thing premeditated, intended? |
44450 | We must learn to look upon ourselves and our fellow men purely from a business point of view and to ask only: What can this man make? |
44450 | Were not the Greek philosophers right in thinking that our ideals are eternal, and are kept with God? |
44450 | Were they then never to rise into the joy of clear and entire belief? |
44450 | What are you going to do with it? |
44450 | What are you going to do with it? |
44450 | What are you going to do with it? |
44450 | What book has been so misunderstood, and misinterpreted, even by honest and enlightened minds, even by theologians themselves? |
44450 | What did He mean by that? |
44450 | What did he mean by that? |
44450 | What did he notice? |
44450 | What does Paul mean when he talks about being justified? |
44450 | What hope is there of genuine progress, in the religious life especially, if we leave her uneducated? |
44450 | What is faith? |
44450 | What is faith? |
44450 | What is love? |
44450 | What is the purpose of life? |
44450 | What is there to fear? |
44450 | What is thy testimony? |
44450 | What is thy testimony? |
44450 | What more have I got left? |
44450 | What other answer can be given by one who judges everything by a money standard? |
44450 | What sayst Thou of Thyself? |
44450 | What shall be done about it? |
44450 | What shall we say of him who opens a haunt of temptation, sets out his snares and deliberately deals out death by the dram? |
44450 | What thinkest thou, O Channing, of Jesus Christ? |
44450 | What thinkest thou, O Herder, illustrious German thinker, broad scholar, and exquisite genius, of Jesus, the Christ? |
44450 | What was it that he saw and felt? |
44450 | What was it that so startled him? |
44450 | What was there in the peasant conditions of His family life to produce the uniqueness of His manhood? |
44450 | When men ask us, Are the doctrines of Christianity dead; are they played out? |
44450 | Whence do all light and all love come? |
44450 | Where did the imagination of the prophets and apostles catch fire? |
44450 | Where do you go to find the origin of the great principle of civil liberty? |
44450 | Where is the spring of the prayers and aspirations of the saints? |
44450 | Which is nearer to the truth, the Christ of the sorrowful way or the Christ at God''s right hand? |
44450 | Who can say? |
44450 | Who is He? |
44450 | Who is right? |
44450 | Who is there that has ever been brave enough to accept such a salutation without a whisper of protest, without a shadow of a scruple? |
44450 | Who is this strange visitant-- so quiet, so silent, so unobserved? |
44450 | Who shall deliver us from this spirit of bitterness? |
44450 | Who shall lead us out of this heavy, fetid air of the lazar- house and the morgue? |
44450 | Who shall separate us from Christ''s love? |
44450 | Who will have it? |
44450 | Who would not court a new- made grave rather than risk the perils of survivorship? |
44450 | Why could that little jet of blood and water never pass out of his sight? |
44450 | Why credible to the one, but incredible to the other? |
44450 | Why need you and I seek to disprove what no man has ever yet proved or will prove? |
44450 | Why not again with Christ as Captain? |
44450 | Why not always, why not everywhere? |
44450 | Why pay so great a price? |
44450 | Why pay so great a price? |
44450 | Why should it haunt him sixty years after, as still his heart wonders over the mysterious witness of the water and the blood? |
44450 | Why? |
44450 | Will He not continue to work till all men come to the stature of perfection? |
44450 | Will it be said to any of you? |
44450 | Will you fail as others failed me?" |
44450 | Yet had prayer no part in the plan of the Incarnation? |
44450 | You remember, in the story of the Garden of Eden, where the tree which represented temptation stood? |
44450 | and he begins to raise the question- the only question he thinks of after that-- What shall I do for them? |
44450 | could, I ask, all these be fruitless and in vain? |
44450 | how much can I get out of this man''s labor? |
44450 | how much has that man made? |
44450 | how much will that man pay for my services? |
44450 | is there anything which a man can fear ten times more than the fire that never shall be quenched? |
44450 | or How shall I become a Christian? |
44450 | why not? |
60377 | 3. Who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal man? |
60377 | 8. Who will remember thee when thou art dead; and who will pray for thee? |
60377 | All men naturally desire to know; but what doth knowledge avail without the fear of God? |
60377 | And how often have I found it where I did not expect it? |
60377 | And if thou ask why? |
60377 | And if thou drive him from thee, and lose him, to whom wilt thou fly, and whom then wilt thou seek for thy friend? |
60377 | And now in the midst of these things, what shall I say? |
60377 | And now, dear father, what shall I say? |
60377 | And to him that relishes thee not, what can ever yield any true delight? |
60377 | And unless thou didst command it, who would dare attempt to approach? |
60377 | And what can be more free, than he that desires nothing upon earth? |
60377 | And what need we concern ourselves about questions of philosophy? |
60377 | And what wonder, if he feels no weight, who is carried by the Almighty, and led on by the sovereign guide? |
60377 | And when thou hast run over all things, what profit will it be to thee, if thou hast neglected thyself? |
60377 | And why do such small things go to thy heart; but because thou art yet carnal, and regardest man more than thou oughtest? |
60377 | Are not all painful labours to be endured for everlasting life? |
60377 | Behold_ my_ God,_ and my All_, What would I have more, and what can I desire more happy? |
60377 | But if thou dost not overcome things that are small and light: when wilt thou overcome greater difficulties? |
60377 | But in what manner? |
60377 | But what art thou to those that love thee? |
60377 | But what return shall I make to the Lord for this grace, and for so extraordinary a charity? |
60377 | But whence is this to me, that thou shouldst come to me? |
60377 | But where is this devotion? |
60377 | But who am I, O Lord, that I should presume to come to thee? |
60377 | But why are we so willing to talk and discourse with one another: since we seldom return to silence without prejudice to our conscience? |
60377 | But why did I not provide better for myself, miserable wretch as I am? |
60377 | Can it be much to serve thee, whom the whole creation is bound to serve? |
60377 | Christ had adversaries and backbiters, and wouldst thou have all to be thy friends and benefactors? |
60377 | Christ would suffer and be despised, and dost thou dare to complain of any one? |
60377 | Could it even so much as pluck one hair away from thee? |
60377 | Dost thou think to escape that which no mortal could ever avoid? |
60377 | Dost thou think to have always spiritual consolations when thou pleasest? |
60377 | For when the disciples asked,_ Who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?_( Matthew xviii.) |
60377 | For who is he that approaching humbly to the Fountain of Sweetness, does not carry away with him some little sweetness? |
60377 | For who is there amongst worldly people, that would not willingly receive comfort and spiritual joy, if he could always have it? |
60377 | For who shall be able to find the man that is truly poor in spirit, and naked of all things created? |
60377 | How canst thou look to continue ever in the same state of virtue, when this was not found in the angels in heaven, nor in the first man in Paradise? |
60377 | How dare such a sinner appear before thee? |
60377 | How do so many other religious do, who live under strict monastic discipline? |
60377 | How often have I not found faith there, where I thought I might depend upon it? |
60377 | How profitable indeed hath grace been kept with silence in this frail life, which is all but a temptation and a warfare? |
60377 | How shall I break through them? |
60377 | How shall I dare to approach, who am conscious to myself of no good, on which I can presume? |
60377 | How shall I pass without hurt? |
60377 | How short a time do I spend when I prepare myself to communicate? |
60377 | How sweetly and graciously dost thou order all things in favour of thy elect, to whom thou offerest thyself to be received in the sacrament? |
60377 | If a little suffering now makes thee so impatient, what will hell fire do hereafter? |
60377 | If all were perfect: what then should we have to suffer from others for God''s sake? |
60377 | If in the angels thou hast found sin, and hast not spared them, what will become of me? |
60377 | If thou art not now careful for thyself, who will be careful for thee hereafter? |
60377 | If thou art not prepared to- day, how wilt thou be to- morrow? |
60377 | If thou canst not make thyself such a one as thou wouldst: how canst thou expect to have another according to thy liking? |
60377 | If thou couldst see any thing at once before thee, what would it be but a vain sight? |
60377 | If thou dost not understand nor comprehend those things that are under thee, how shouldst thou comprehend those things that are above thee? |
60377 | If thou hadst not gone before and instructed us, who would have cared to have followed? |
60377 | If thou seekest rest in this life, how then wilt thou come to rest everlasting? |
60377 | If thou shalt say, thou art not able to suffer so much, how then wilt thou endure the fire of purgatory? |
60377 | If thou wilt suffer no opposition, how wilt thou be a friend of Christ? |
60377 | If to this day thou hadst always lived in honours and pleasures: what would it avail thee, if thou wert now in a moment to die? |
60377 | In what then, O Lord? |
60377 | Is any thing difficult to me? |
60377 | Is it not in me? |
60377 | Is it not thou, my Lord God, whose mercies are without number? |
60377 | Is not this a greater damage than if thou wert to lose the whole world? |
60377 | Lord what cause have I to complain if thou forsake me? |
60377 | Lord, how often shall I resign myself; and in what things shall I leave myself? |
60377 | Lord, what is my confidence which I have in this life? |
60377 | Lord? |
60377 | Now if he that makes a strong resolution often fails: what will he do who seldom or but weakly resolves? |
60377 | O God, the invisible Maker of the world, how wonderfully dost thou deal with us? |
60377 | O Lord, to what are we come? |
60377 | O fountain of everlasting_ love_, what shall I say of thee? |
60377 | O how exceedingly necessary is thy_ grace_ for me, O Lord, to begin that which is good, to go forward with it, and to accomplish it? |
60377 | O most wretched and foolish sinner, what answer wilt thou make to God, who knows all thy evils? |
60377 | O when shall I be with thee in thy kingdom, which thou hast prepared for thy Beloved from all eternity? |
60377 | O, my God, how much did they endeavour to do to please thee? |
60377 | Or shall I be like one that promises and does not perform? |
60377 | Or what can I justly alledge, if thou refuse to grant my petition? |
60377 | Or who, standing by a great fire, does not receive from it some little heat? |
60377 | Son, stand firm, and trust in me; for what are words but words? |
60377 | Stars have fallen from heaven, and I that am but dust, how can I presume? |
60377 | Suppose it to be so, that they have all they desire: how long dost thou think this will last? |
60377 | Tell me now where are all those great doctors, with whom thou wast well acquainted, whilst they were living, and flourished in learning? |
60377 | The whole life of Christ was a cross, and a martyrdom: and dost thou seek rest and joy? |
60377 | Thou art not to answer for others, but must give an account for thyself; why therefore dost thou meddle with them? |
60377 | To how many hath it been hurtful to have their virtue known, and over- hastily praised? |
60377 | To whom shall I give credit, O Lord? |
60377 | To- morrow is an uncertain day; and how dost thou know that thou shalt be alive to- morrow? |
60377 | Unless thou, O Lord, didst say it, who could believe it to be true? |
60377 | What answer canst thou make, O filthy sinner, to those that reproach thee, thou that hast so often offended God, and many times deserved hell? |
60377 | What are all temporal things, but deceit? |
60377 | What are these things, O Lord? |
60377 | What benefit is it to live long, when we advance so little? |
60377 | What can I do for my sins, but humbly confess them, and lament them, and incessantly implore thy mercy for them? |
60377 | What can any one do against thee, by his words or injuries? |
60377 | What can be more at rest than a simple eye[ that aims at nothing but God]? |
60377 | What can the world profit thee without Jesus? |
60377 | What canst thou see any where which can continue long under the sun? |
60377 | What canst thou see elsewhere which thou seest not here? |
60377 | What do I require more of thee, than that thou endeavour to resign thyself entirely to me? |
60377 | What does the solicitude about future accidents bring thee but only sorrow upon sorrow? |
60377 | What doth it avail thee, to discourse profoundly of the Trinity: if thou be void of humility, and consequently displeasing to the Trinity? |
60377 | What doth it avail to delay thy confession for a long time, or to put off the holy communion? |
60377 | What great thing is it, if thou be cheerful and devout when grace comes? |
60377 | What hast thou, vain man, to complain of? |
60377 | What hath man deserved, that thou shouldst give him thy grace? |
60377 | What hath thy servant but what he hath received from thee, and this without any merit on his side? |
60377 | What have I deserved for my sins but hell and everlasting fire? |
60377 | What have I done, O Lord, that thou shouldst impart any heavenly comfort to me? |
60377 | What have I then to glory in? |
60377 | What is all flesh in thy sight? |
60377 | What is it thou sayest, my Son? |
60377 | What is this or that to thee? |
60377 | What means this most loving condescension, and so friendly an invitation? |
60377 | What other things shall that fire feed on but thy sins? |
60377 | What return shall I make to thee for this grace? |
60377 | What saint was there ever in the world without his cross and affliction? |
60377 | What shall I do in my so great tribulations and anguishes, didst thou not encourage me with thy holy words? |
60377 | What shall I give thee for all these thousands of favours? |
60377 | What shall I say, who am guilty, and full of all confusion? |
60377 | What shall I therefore, an unworthy sinner, who am but dust and ashes, be able to search into, or conceive of so high and sacred a mystery? |
60377 | What then shall I do, O my God, my helper, my counsellor in necessities? |
60377 | What to those that serve thee with their whole heart? |
60377 | What was the reason why some of the saints were so perfect and contemplative? |
60377 | What will become of us yet in the end: who grow lukewarm so very soon? |
60377 | When shall I be set at liberty from the wretched slavery of sin? |
60377 | When shall I be without any impediment in true liberty, without any trouble of mind or body? |
60377 | When shall I contemplate the glory of thy kingdom? |
60377 | When shall I enjoy a solid peace, a peace never to be disturbed and always secure, a peace both within and without, a peace every where firm? |
60377 | When shall I to the full rejoice in thee? |
60377 | When wilt thou be_ all in all_ to me? |
60377 | When, O Lord, shall I be so happy as to think of thee alone? |
60377 | Where art thou, when thou art not present to thyself? |
60377 | Where is this so plentiful shedding of holy tears? |
60377 | Where is thy faith? |
60377 | Where is true peace, and true glory? |
60377 | Where shall we find a man that is willing to serve God_ gratis?_ 4. |
60377 | Where then can there be any lurking hole for glorying in myself? |
60377 | Where was it ever well with me without thee? |
60377 | Who am I, that thou shouldst give me thyself? |
60377 | Who can foresee all things, or who is able to provide against all future evils? |
60377 | Who is a greater hinderance and trouble to thee, than thine own unmortified affection of heart? |
60377 | Who is so wise as to be able fully to know all things? |
60377 | Who is there that has all things according to his will? |
60377 | Who is there that is most at ease? |
60377 | Who is there that serves and obeys me in all things, with that great care, with which the world and its lords are served? |
60377 | Why also have I so easily given credit to others? |
60377 | Why art thou troubled because things do not succeed with thee according to thy will and desire? |
60377 | Why dost thou pine away with vain grief? |
60377 | Why dost thou stand looking about thee here, since this is not thy resting place? |
60377 | Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labour? |
60377 | Why then am I not more inflamed, considering thy venerable presence? |
60377 | Why then art thou afraid to take up thy cross, which leads to a kingdom? |
60377 | Why wilt thou put off thy resolution from day to day? |
60377 | Why wilt thou see what thou must not have? |
60377 | Why wouldst thou prefer thyself to any one, since there are many more learned and skilful in the law than thyself? |
60377 | Why, O Lord? |
60377 | Wouldst thou have that immediately, which others after many tears and great labours have hardly obtained? |
60377 | _ Lord, what is man that thou art mindful of him; or the Son of Man that thou vouchsafest to visit him?_ Psalms vi. |
60377 | _ The Lord is my light, and my salvation: whom shall I fear?__ If whole armies should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. |
60377 | and how dost thou vouchsafe to come to a sinner? |
60377 | and what will all things created avail thee, if thou be forsaken by the Creator? |
60377 | how great confidence shall he have at the hour of his death, who is not detained by an affection to any thing in the world? |
60377 | how little is their love of God, how weak is their devotion who so easily put by the sacred communion? |
60377 | how little ought I to esteem whatever good I may seem to have? |
60377 | how many would have staid afar off, and a great way behind, if they had not before their eyes thy excellent example? |
60377 | or what is my greatest comfort amongst all things that appear under heaven? |
60377 | or when could it be ill with me when thou wast present? |
60377 | or why do I desire to be esteemed? |
60377 | shall the clay glory against him that formed it? |
60377 | to whom but thee? |
60377 | what can I do, and whither shall I go without thee? |
60377 | what do I suffer interiorly, whilst in my mind I consider heavenly things, and presently a crowd of carnal thoughts offers to interrupt my prayer? |
60377 | what is our life if compared to theirs? |
60377 | when will there be an end of these evils? |
60377 | where any confidence in any conceit of my own virtue? |
60377 | why dost thou think to live long, when thou art not sure of one day? |
60377 | why tirest thou thyself with useless cares? |
60377 | { 117} Are they not convinced to be rather lovers of themselves than of Christ, who are always thinking of their own profit and gain? |
60377 | { 118} And what is that? |
60377 | { 11} Who has a stronger conflict than he who strives to overcome himself? |
60377 | { 160} How can I ever forget thee, who hast vouchsafed to remember me, even after that I was laid waste, and perished? |
60377 | { 166} Dost thou think the men of the world suffer little or nothing? |
60377 | { 189} And how can it be called life, since it begets so many deaths and plagues? |
60377 | { 203} For what is it to thee whether this man be such, or such; or that man do or say this, or the other? |
60377 | { 237} Otherwise how canst thou be mine, and I thine; unless thou be both within and without freed from all self- will? |
60377 | { 244} Is it not for nothing? |
60377 | { 254} If things foreseen do yet often hurt us, how can things unlooked for fail of wounding us grievously? |
60377 | { 265} O good Jesu, when shall I stand to behold thee? |
60377 | { 304} Why art thou disturbed at a little thing said against thee? |
60377 | { 321} How shall I introduce thee into my house, who have oftentimes offended thy most gracious countenance? |
60377 | { 373} Or what creature under heaven so beloved as a devout soul, into whom God cometh, that he may feed her with his glorious flesh? |
60377 | { 74} If thou canst now endure so little how wilt thou be able to bear everlasting torments? |
60377 | { 87} Whence shall thy patience be crowned, if thou meet with no adversity? |
44411 | Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend, On whom our hopes of heaven depend? |
44411 | Has the rain a father? 44411 If God be for us, who can be against us?" |
44411 | Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you? |
44411 | Knowest thou, oh man, the missionaries of the starry heavens? 44411 Many will say unto Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name done many wonderful works? |
44411 | My sheep,says He,"hear my voice, and they do follow me"; they follow Me gladly, even into this gloomy vale; and what is the consequence? |
44411 | Which,said He,"is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? |
44411 | ),"Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples?" |
44411 | A vivid feeling comes over them of the vanity and unprofitableness of the world, and then the question recurs,"Why then am I sent into it?" |
44411 | After this, will you be indignant that you do not comprehend every thing in the gospel? |
44411 | And can those be willing that God should govern the world entirely according to His pleasure who object to His having any pleasure upon the subject? |
44411 | And does he now submit, because God has given him assurance of personal safety? |
44411 | And for what can you be held responsible, if not for this? |
44411 | And is He not wise enough to be intrusted with the government of the world? |
44411 | And is it not quite clear that to such persons God can not be said to be their God? |
44411 | And is there a mortal, who, from this great system of blest government, would wish this earth to be an exception? |
44411 | And need we ask, is not the Christian Church itself, in its own institution and constitution, virtually and essentially a missionary institution? |
44411 | And shall we not purchase each increase of knowledge with an increase of ignorance? |
44411 | And the hoar- frost of heaven, who has begotten it? |
44411 | And to what does all this amount? |
44411 | And were not all the angels of heaven placed under Him as His missionaries, sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation? |
44411 | And were not the keys of the kingdom first given to Peter to open, to announce it? |
44411 | And what do I hear? |
44411 | And what is an angel but a messenger, a missionary? |
44411 | And what more could it do, were it true? |
44411 | And what will become of those who, unable to frustrate His counsels, murmur and rebel against His providence? |
44411 | And why do we not submit cheerfully to a privation which, after all, is not one? |
44411 | And why? |
44411 | Are His subjects here partakers of His kingly bounty? |
44411 | Are any reluctant to be entirely in the hands of God? |
44411 | Are not all His attributes equally employed? |
44411 | Are there not many who live, to all appearance, as unconscious of His existence, as we fancy the inferior animals to be? |
44411 | Are there not many who never think of God or care about His service? |
44411 | Are they afraid to trust Him to dispose of soul and body, for time and eternity? |
44411 | Are you afraid of the reproach of Christ? |
44411 | Are you more than sons of Adam, who, by the sweat of their brow, are to eat bread till they return to the earth out of which they are taken? |
44411 | Are you simply taking your own pleasure in your mode of living, or do you find your pleasure in submitting yourself to God''s pleasure? |
44411 | Are you the less saved? |
44411 | As He beheld them approaching, did He quietly take to His boat, and leave them to go home disappointed? |
44411 | Before they are anointed? |
44411 | But did these things apply merely to the believers to whom St. Peter originally wrote? |
44411 | But if there be a consistency in the errors, in like manner, is there a consistency in the truths which are opposite to them? |
44411 | But if we once attempted to go further, where should we stop? |
44411 | But may it not be supplanted by the love of that which is more worthy than itself? |
44411 | But some one will say"If the knowledge of mysteries is really without influence on our salvation, why have they been indicated to us at all?" |
44411 | But what did they do? |
44411 | But what do we besides praying for it? |
44411 | But when, since the days of the blind master of English song, hath any poured forth a lay worthy of the Christian theme? |
44411 | But who would not hail such a Son of David? |
44411 | Can He only watch, and mend, and rectify, the lawless wanderings of mind? |
44411 | Can He wield the elements, and control, at His pleasure, every work of His hands, but just the mind of man? |
44411 | Can he bring forth and commission the twelve signs of the Zodiac, or bind Arcturus with his seven sons? |
44411 | Can mortal man bind the bands of the Seven Stars, or loose the cords of Orion? |
44411 | Can such a person be in earnest, or have one sincere desire in his heart to effect such an object or purpose? |
44411 | Can there be a better government? |
44411 | Can we improve upon their institutions and enactments? |
44411 | Canst thou command the lightnings, so that they may say to thee, Here we are? |
44411 | Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? |
44411 | Could the combined universe, without God, change the depraved affections of men? |
44411 | Did He not declare that His kingdom"is not of this world"? |
44411 | Did He not say that He was going hence, or leaving this world, to receive or obtain a kingdom? |
44411 | Did He plead His own convenience, or His need of repose, as any reason for not attending to the pressing necessities of His fellow men? |
44411 | Did he, then, misapprehend the divine character? |
44411 | Did not our Savior Himself, in person, decline the honors of a worldly or temporal prince? |
44411 | Did not the Savior teach His personal pupils, or disciples, to pray,"Thy kingdom"--more truthfully,"Thy reign-- come"? |
44411 | Did our Lord inform the multitude that this day was set apart for their own refreshment and improvement, and that they could not be interrupted? |
44411 | Did then God send you, above all other men, into the world to be idle in spiritual matters? |
44411 | Do kings reign before they are crowned? |
44411 | Do we work for it? |
44411 | Do you ask what this deep principle was? |
44411 | Do you injure no one? |
44411 | Does He exercise His authority here and rule His happy subjects by the law, the perfect law of love? |
44411 | Does He make these vile bodies His residence here? |
44411 | Does He not govern for the same end, and will not His government below conspire to promote the same joyful end as His government above? |
44411 | Does He superintend a world of madmen, full of darkness and disorder, cheered and blest by no internal pervading government of His own? |
44411 | Does any king''s reign or kingdom commence with his birth? |
44411 | Does the Lord''s Prayer breathe a feverish enthusiasm? |
44411 | Has Christ been seen upon the cross, beckoning the sinner to come to Him? |
44411 | Has God determined how to dispose of my soul? |
44411 | Has He filled the earth with untamed and untamable spirits, whose wickedness and rebellion He can merely mitigate, but can not control? |
44411 | Has Omnipotence formed minds, which, the moment they are made, escape from His hands, and defy the control of their Maker? |
44411 | Has a vision of angels appeared, to announce that God is reconciled? |
44411 | Has heaven been thrown open to his admiring eyes? |
44411 | Has some sudden light burst upon him, in token of forgiveness? |
44411 | Has some text of Scripture been sent to whisper that his sins are forgiven, tho no repentance, nor faith, nor love, has dawned in his soul? |
44411 | Has the Almighty erected a moral kingdom which He can not govern without destroying its moral nature? |
44411 | Has the divine character changed? |
44411 | Has your religion any difficulty in it, or is it in all respects easy to you? |
44411 | Have enrapturing sounds of music stolen upon the ear, to entrance the soul? |
44411 | Have we none among you that preach against us in your lives? |
44411 | Have you not already felt, my brethren, the application to which I would bring you? |
44411 | How can He dispose of me according to His eternal purpose and I be free? |
44411 | How can you, thus unimpassioned, hold communion with themes in which everything awful, vital, and endearing meet together? |
44411 | How dangerous a thing is it, for example, for a man to become accustomed to sights of cruelty? |
44411 | How is it in the natural world? |
44411 | How should it be otherwise in religion, when it is thus in nature itself? |
44411 | I had a wife, a helpmeet for me; but where is she? |
44411 | If He can, consistently with freedom, govern angels, and devils, and nations, how can He govern individuals? |
44411 | If a claim so unjust could be admitted, where, I ask you, would be the limit of your demands? |
44411 | If such were the occupations of the Son of God, can we do more wisely than to imitate His example? |
44411 | If that"foolishness"we preach produces effects like these, is it not natural to conclude that it is truth itself? |
44411 | If we began to repress our anger, why not also repress vainglory? |
44411 | If, too, every disciple is to be an"epistle known and read of all men,"what shall we expect, but that all men will be somehow affected by the reading? |
44411 | In a word, is your religion a work? |
44411 | In the highest possible sense of the terms; but who can tell what that highest possible sense of the terms is? |
44411 | In this dilemma, what was to be done? |
44411 | Is He not the same God below as above? |
44411 | Is it because we understand them? |
44411 | Is it ever on the side of God and duty? |
44411 | Is it not enough for us to know the truths that save? |
44411 | Is it not his business, and nothing else, to act his part well? |
44411 | Is it your mission only to find pleasure in this world, in which you are but as pilgrims and sojourners? |
44411 | Is that a misfortune? |
44411 | Is there no object in it? |
44411 | Is your example harmless? |
44411 | It is a great thing to keep in God''s favor; what indeed can we desire more? |
44411 | It is also true, you may ask, that the religious spirit propagates itself or tends to propagate itself in the same way? |
44411 | It is this:"Why were you sent into the world?" |
44411 | May I ask your attention a few moments more? |
44411 | May we not from this incident derive a lesson of practical instruction? |
44411 | My brethren, ought this so to be? |
44411 | My brethren, the simple question is, whatever a man''s rank in life may be, does he in that rank perform the work which God has given him to do? |
44411 | Need I say that comprehension incomparably transcends apprehension? |
44411 | Need we inquire into the meaning of a celestial title given to the tenantries of the heaven of heavens? |
44411 | Now, how stands the case with Jesus? |
44411 | Of the poets which charm the world''s ear, who is he that inditeth a song unto his God? |
44411 | Of what use would it be to know those it conceals from us? |
44411 | Of what use, then, would it be to know those which have not the slightest bearing on our salvation? |
44411 | Oh, my brethren, is it not a shocking thought, but who can deny its truth? |
44411 | Oh, this curious restless, clamorous, panting being, which we call life!--and is there to be no end to all this? |
44411 | Or has a revelation of new truth been granted? |
44411 | Or if he is to be a light in the world, what shall we look for, but that others, seeing his good works, shall glorify God on his account? |
44411 | Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven upon the thirsty fields?" |
44411 | Or who has stretched the line upon it? |
44411 | Rather do you not see that this is a splendid proof of its truth? |
44411 | Shall I say more? |
44411 | Shall not mysteries multiply with discoveries? |
44411 | Still less with his death? |
44411 | Tell a man to be holy-- and how can he compass such a performance, when his fellowship with holiness is a fellowship of despair? |
44411 | The solicitude, therefore, is not merely, What will become of me? |
44411 | They were but little children, and they were by themselves, and they spontaneously asked themselves, or rather God spake in them,"Why am I here? |
44411 | To purchase food in the surrounding towns and villages would be difficult; but even were this possible, whence could the necessary funds be provided? |
44411 | Upon what, in fact, does this argument rest? |
44411 | Was all this glory visible before? |
44411 | Was ever love like this? |
44411 | Was he not the wisest of men, the most potent and the richest of kings, that ever lived? |
44411 | Was it ever known-- did any ever complain-- was it ever conceived-- that God was a tyrant, in heaven? |
44411 | We do not grow Christians by the same culture by which we grow men, otherwise what need of divine revelation, and divine assistance? |
44411 | Well, would it not be simple absurdity in any actor to pride himself on his mock diadem, or his edgeless sword, instead of attending to his part? |
44411 | What am I to do here?" |
44411 | What are the foundations thereof? |
44411 | What can you do for us?" |
44411 | What in reference to us is the object of the gospel? |
44411 | What is religion? |
44411 | What is the occasion of this change? |
44411 | What man, valuing the honor of his soul, would not shrink from yielding himself to such an influence? |
44411 | What matter to me whether the Pope, or any work of any mind, be exalted to the quality of God? |
44411 | What shall he do? |
44411 | What was the national spirit of France, for example, at a certain time, but a spirit of infidelity? |
44411 | What were its antecedents? |
44411 | What will Babel do for us then? |
44411 | What will that man do in heaven, who is afraid and reluctant to commit to God the government of the earth? |
44411 | What, if he did but gaze at himself and his dress? |
44411 | What, then, has produced this alteration? |
44411 | Whence now, I ask, came the conception of this character? |
44411 | Where can we find the traces of it in His history? |
44411 | Where is nature gone when she is not moved with the tender mercy of Christ? |
44411 | Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? |
44411 | Whither shall he flee? |
44411 | Who can number the clouds in wisdom? |
44411 | Who feels the awful weight there is in the least iota that hath dropped from the lips of God? |
44411 | Who feels the sublime dignity there is in a saying, fresh descended from the porch of heaven? |
44411 | Who feels the swelling tide of gratitude within his breast, for redemption and salvation, instead of flat despair and everlasting retribution? |
44411 | Who feels the thrilling fear or trembling hope there is in words whereon the destinies of himself do hang? |
44411 | Who has begotten the drops of the dew? |
44411 | Who has fixt the measure thereof? |
44411 | Who has laid the corner- stone thereof when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? |
44411 | Who hath required this at their hands? |
44411 | Who shall supply the deficiencies of His skill? |
44411 | Who was the mother of the ice? |
44411 | Who, then, shall be His counsellor? |
44411 | Whose soul would not sicken at such a sight? |
44411 | Why are they toiling? |
44411 | Why do we admit these various facts? |
44411 | Why is not curiosity, curiosity ever hungry, on edge to know the doings and intentions of Jehovah, King of Kings? |
44411 | Why is not interest, interest ever awake, on tip- toe to hear the future destiny of itself? |
44411 | Why not also guard against niggardliness? |
44411 | Why not also keep from falsehood, from gossiping, from idling, from excess in eating? |
44411 | Why not reproach Him for not having given you wings like a bird, to visit the regions, which, till now, have been scanned only by your eyes? |
44411 | Why not, in fine, reproach Him for having caused the darkness of night to succeed the brightness of day invariably on the earth? |
44411 | Why, then, should we question the justice of His government on earth? |
44411 | Why? |
44411 | Will any pretend that the Almighty can not maintain a moral government on earth, if He governs according to His own pleasure? |
44411 | Will any say it had its origin in imposture; that it was a fabrication of a deceiver? |
44411 | Will it rescue our souls from the purgatory or the hell to which it sends them? |
44411 | Will they aim at the honor implied in these words,"Ye are my witnesses?" |
44411 | Will they have the adoption and the glory? |
44411 | Will ye indeed be sons? |
44411 | With each new day shall we not see associated a new night? |
44411 | Would he leave its peopled dwelling places, and become a solitary wanderer through the fields of nonentity? |
44411 | Would it not be better for us, if we cultivated more assiduously this habit of intimate intercourse with the Savior? |
44411 | Would not he cling to the regions of sense, and of life, and of society? |
44411 | Would not his neighbors regard him as a monomaniac or a simpleton? |
44411 | Would sinful mortals change their own hearts? |
44411 | and yet do not the things which He says"? |
44411 | but, What, O Lord, will become of Thy glory, and the glory of Thy kingdom? |
44411 | for what are they living? |
44411 | how came I here? |
44411 | how will you draw the line for us? |
44411 | that with yonder sacred throng, we at His feet may fall"? |
44411 | what, if he secreted, or turned to his own use, what was valuable in it? |
44411 | who brought me here? |
44411 | who would not desire to be swayed by such a Prince of Peace? |
44411 | why are they scheming? |
19830 | Am I? 19830 And shall I die to- day?" |
19830 | And will I be with Jesus to- night, father? |
19830 | Are you glad that your child''s dead? |
19830 | Are you sure of that? |
19830 | But are you saved? |
19830 | But are you willing to take the risk till next spring? |
19830 | But what about the water? |
19830 | But you are not afraid to die? |
19830 | But, doctor,said the agonized father,"can you do nothing to bring him to consciousness, even for a moment?" |
19830 | But,replied the treasurer,"do you understand its amount?" |
19830 | Ca n''t you turn your head around? |
19830 | Can not what? |
19830 | Can you read? |
19830 | Can you tell what is on that sign- post? |
19830 | Did n''t I tell you never to pray again? 19830 Did n''t I write to you about him?" |
19830 | Do n''t you see I am getting quite well? |
19830 | Do you know, my boy, that you are dying? |
19830 | Do you mean to tell me,said the young lady, looking up in my face,"that I ca n''t be saved until I forgive her?" |
19830 | Do you remember the young man who answered you so roughly the other night? |
19830 | Do you see that beautiful meadow? |
19830 | Do you think, then, I would tell you a falsehood? |
19830 | Do? 19830 Do? |
19830 | Got a home there? |
19830 | Have you lost any property? 19830 Have you lost any reputation in your country?" |
19830 | Have you seen anything of my son? |
19830 | Hear what? |
19830 | How did it happen? |
19830 | How did they like him? |
19830 | How did you come here? |
19830 | How do you know this is true? |
19830 | How is it with you here? |
19830 | How is it with you, my friend? |
19830 | How is it with you?'' |
19830 | I know better; have you lost any relations? |
19830 | I think you said you were a friend? |
19830 | I walk about in the day time; I lie down at night, and it comes upon me continually:''Eternity, and where shall I spend it?'' 19830 I will explain,"I said"If your sins are more than you can bear, wo n''t you cast them on One who will bear them for you?" |
19830 | I wonder what''s the matter? |
19830 | If I say I trust Him, will He save me? |
19830 | Is that acceptable? |
19830 | Is that so? 19830 Is there no hope for me?" |
19830 | My son, do you know you are dying? |
19830 | Next day? |
19830 | Next day? |
19830 | No, am I? |
19830 | Now, what do you do with the passages bearing upon the death? |
19830 | O my darling child,sobbed the woman,"are you never to see the mother that gave you birth? |
19830 | Oh, papa, will you take me to see the bears in Lincoln Park? |
19830 | Please, sir, tell me why you do n''t love Jesus? |
19830 | Sick? |
19830 | The neighbors, therefore, and they which before had seen him which was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 19830 Then said they unto him, Where is he? |
19830 | Therefore, said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 19830 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes? |
19830 | Turn ye, turn ye, for why will ye die? |
19830 | Was that Governor Pollock? 19830 Well, friend, how is it with you?" |
19830 | Well, then, I shall be with Jesus to- night, wo n''t I, father? |
19830 | Well, what do you preach? |
19830 | Well, why do n''t you go to school? |
19830 | Well,said the boy,"you never prayed for me, father; wo n''t you pray for my lost soul now?" |
19830 | What did you say? |
19830 | What else? |
19830 | What for? |
19830 | What have you got in heaven? |
19830 | What is an infidel? |
19830 | What is the matter? |
19830 | What is the trouble? |
19830 | What would you do, then? |
19830 | What''s the matter? |
19830 | What''s the trouble? |
19830 | What, do you think my boy will never see? |
19830 | What,said he,"you are the man that has been preaching to us, ai n''t you?" |
19830 | What? |
19830 | When once off the old wreck and safe in the life- boat, what remained for you to do? |
19830 | When the life- boat came to you,said a friend,"did you expect it had brought some tools to repair your old ship?" |
19830 | Where are you going? |
19830 | Where art thou? |
19830 | Where? |
19830 | Who is it? |
19830 | Who is that man? |
19830 | Who is that young man? |
19830 | Who said it? |
19830 | Who was that man? |
19830 | Who''s that? |
19830 | Who? |
19830 | Who? |
19830 | Why ca n''t you take him to Christ? 19830 Why not?" |
19830 | Why not? |
19830 | Why not? |
19830 | Why not? |
19830 | Why, I was listening to your sermon last night, and when you asked,''Who''ll receive Him now?'' 19830 Why, is your burden so great that Christ ca n''t carry it?" |
19830 | Why, papa? 19830 Why, what have you been doing?" |
19830 | Why,said I,"did you send your daughter out of the room before you said this?" |
19830 | Why,said I,"how''s that?" |
19830 | Why,she says,"why he speaks as he did when I first married him; I wonder if he has got well?" |
19830 | Will you get down with me and pray? |
19830 | Will you tell my mother and father that I died a Christian? |
19830 | Wo n''t the grapes be acceptable, papa? |
19830 | Wo n''t you let me pray for you to come to Jesus? |
19830 | Yes,he said,"I was making a plea for India, and I did n''t quite finish my speech, did I?" |
19830 | You Captain of the Guard? |
19830 | You''re mistaken; why do you think that? |
19830 | You? |
19830 | ''''What more can you have than that? |
19830 | -- Do you believe that He would send those men out to preach the gospel to every creature unless he wanted every creature to be saved? |
19830 | -- Do you believe the Lord will call a poor sinner, and then cast him out? |
19830 | -- Have not some of you heard a sermon in which you were offered as a sinner to the Lord Jesus Christ, and your conscience was troubled? |
19830 | -- If we were all of us doing the work that God has got for us to do, do n''t you see how the work of the Lord would advance? |
19830 | -- Now just think a moment and answer the question,"''What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" |
19830 | -- What can botanists tell you of the lily of the valley? |
19830 | -- What grounds have we for not believing God? |
19830 | -- What makes the Dead Sea dead? |
19830 | -- What reason have I for doubting God''s own word? |
19830 | --"Lord, you do n''t really mean that we shall preach the Gospel to those men that murdered you, to those men that took your life?" |
19830 | A second time she put the question,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
19830 | After the Sermon I went to the pew and said,"My friend, are you a Christian?" |
19830 | After the child left the room, I said,"What is the matter?" |
19830 | All men in his place of business seemed to say,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
19830 | All the letters seemed to read,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
19830 | An Englishman asked me some time ago,"Do you know much about Job?" |
19830 | And I ask you,"Will you not be reconciled?" |
19830 | And I said,"Suppose we write upon that board some of the earthly treasures? |
19830 | And as you look into that face, as you look into those wounds on His feet or His hands, will you say He has not the power to save you? |
19830 | And before this evil world has marked your dearest treasures for its prey, have you learned to lead your little ones to a children''s Christ? |
19830 | And he said,"Who can?" |
19830 | Are you married? |
19830 | Ask your heart,"Is this the work of the devil?" |
19830 | Before the closing of the school I was at home, and when she came in her first words were:"Papa, wo n''t you forgive me?" |
19830 | But He asked,"Whom do you say that I am?" |
19830 | But what did that father do? |
19830 | But what is that to you? |
19830 | But what was the next thing that took place? |
19830 | But when he laid his head on the pillow that voice kept whispering,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
19830 | By and by the pilot was heard to say,"Do you see the lower lights?" |
19830 | Can not you trust God as a friend?" |
19830 | Can you tell me why the Son of God came down to that prison that night, and, passing cell after cell, went to that one, and set the captive free? |
19830 | Could there have been any better news? |
19830 | Dear friends, the harvest is passing; the summer will soon be ended; wo n''t you let Him redeem you? |
19830 | Did he say,"Let the boy go"? |
19830 | Did she wait until she sent him to be washed before she rushed and took him in her arms? |
19830 | Did that father say,"Let him go"? |
19830 | Did you ever think what would take place if we could vote the Bible and the ministers of the gospel and God out from among the people? |
19830 | Do I hear another bid? |
19830 | Do n''t that settle the question? |
19830 | Do n''t you believe it? |
19830 | Do n''t you believe you have got everlasting life? |
19830 | Do n''t you remember something like that happening to you? |
19830 | Do n''t you think she will be known there as a mother that loved her child? |
19830 | Do n''t you think you had better give up? |
19830 | Do you believe He will not give men power to accept this salvation as a gift? |
19830 | Do you believe He would tell them to preach it to people without giving people the power to accept it? |
19830 | Do you believe she was not willing to forgive him? |
19830 | Do you believe the God of heaven is mocking men by offering them his gospel and not giving them the power to take hold of it? |
19830 | Do you hear another bid? |
19830 | Do you really think I am dying?" |
19830 | Do you think I argued with him? |
19830 | Do you think she leaped into that boat and left her boy to die? |
19830 | Do you think she was likely to keep him long standing there? |
19830 | Do you think she would be a stranger in the Lord''s world? |
19830 | Do you think that these people, too corrupt for earth, would go there? |
19830 | Do you think, sir, I have not been seeking Christ?" |
19830 | Do you understand all about Algebra, Geometry; Hebrew, Latin, and Greek?" |
19830 | Everybody was waiting for his neighbor to say:''Are we, then, doomed to die?'' |
19830 | Father, where is your boy to- night? |
19830 | Finally I said:"Is there anyone against whom you have bitter feelings?" |
19830 | God has provided an ark for us, and the question is: Are you inside or outside this ark? |
19830 | Had an angel dropped down and canceled the debt? |
19830 | Have n''t you passed through that experience? |
19830 | Have you felt the Saviour near? |
19830 | Have you felt the spirit''s power? |
19830 | Have you got a desire to be saved, have you got a desire to be present at the marriage supper? |
19830 | Have you learned this sweetest lesson of heaven on earth, to know and hold communion with your God? |
19830 | Have you on the Lord believed? |
19830 | He caught the boy with a push and said,"Did n''t I tell you never to pray again? |
19830 | He did not speak to me, but I went around to the foot of the bed and looked in his face and said,"Wo n''t you speak to me?" |
19830 | He had a good distance to walk, and as he went along he thought,"Why ca n''t I pray now as I go along, instead of waiting to go home?" |
19830 | He rose to go, and the text came upon his ears again,"Where art thou?" |
19830 | He said to the angel,"What is this stone left out for?" |
19830 | He said:"Do you remember the man you met about three months ago at the lamp- post, and how he cursed you? |
19830 | He saw upon the desk the column of debts, and when he came to the bottom saw the question:"Who''s to pay them?" |
19830 | He stopped me and said,"Is that there?" |
19830 | He wanted to know if there was hope for him in the eleventh hour? |
19830 | He was all discouraged in his efforts to convert lazy men, and I said to him,"Did you ever know of a lazy man being converted?" |
19830 | He went to the mad- house where his mother was, and went up to her and said,"Mother, mother, do n''t you know me? |
19830 | He would describe his boy, and say,"If you ever hear of him or see him, will you not write to me?" |
19830 | Her faith began to waver, and she said,"Will I have to give him up at last? |
19830 | His little girl could n''t understand exactly where he was going, and she said:"Father, have you got a home in that land you are going to?" |
19830 | How are you going to rejoice if your names are not written there? |
19830 | How will that do?" |
19830 | How will that sound in the judgment? |
19830 | How, then, shall ye escape if ye neglect so great salvation? |
19830 | I ask you in all candor what are you going to do with this assurance if we do n''t preach it? |
19830 | I asked:"Now what if I should come to you and cast out insinuations against her?" |
19830 | I asked;"does your mother know where you are?" |
19830 | I do n''t have any conflicts or trouble, and yet I am an infidel and you are a Christian-- always in a muss- how''s that, Sambo?" |
19830 | I finished the sermon upon"What shall I do with Jesus?" |
19830 | I said to a man once,"Have you got a wife?" |
19830 | I said to the Secretary of the Young Men''s Christian Association who got up the meeting,"Who are these men?" |
19830 | I say that book is a lie, how can it be one side when it is a lie? |
19830 | I say,"Where is the chapter and verse where it says I can be saved?" |
19830 | I thought you did n''t believe in it?" |
19830 | I took him aside and said,"Now you are going to become a Christian-- you will come out for the Lord now?" |
19830 | I went along to the next cell"How is it with you?" |
19830 | I went forward, and said:"Are you a Christian?" |
19830 | I went to him and said:"My little boy, what is your trouble?" |
19830 | I went up to him at the close of the meeting and said:"How is it with you, my friend?" |
19830 | I will pray to God to give us a little house, and wo n''t He?" |
19830 | If he has, I ask him: Is not the way of the transgressor hard? |
19830 | If one man can liberate forty millions, has not God got the power to liberate every captive? |
19830 | If you do not pity him and love him when I am dead and gone, who will?" |
19830 | If you stop to ask yourself why you do n''t believe in Christ, is there really any reason? |
19830 | Is n''t an unreasonable thing to hold out? |
19830 | Is there a man in this assemblage who will receive His testimony and set his seal that God is true? |
19830 | Is there any other one? |
19830 | Is there anyone here who bids for it? |
19830 | Is there anyone here, who, although he is poor, can find no reason to praise God? |
19830 | Is there no one who will say,"By the grace of God I will accept the invitation now"? |
19830 | Is there one who will put his name to it? |
19830 | Is this death? |
19830 | It is all dark, and how can we be sure?" |
19830 | Lady Ann Erskine, you have heard the two bidders for your soul, which will you accept? |
19830 | Mary, did you ever hear of Him? |
19830 | My friends, his"rock is not as our rock"Why did he send his daughter out of the room if he believed what he said? |
19830 | My friends, what are you going to do with Him to- night? |
19830 | Now will you not love Him? |
19830 | Now wo n''t you gratify your old father by staying at home with him?" |
19830 | Now, why do n''t you take that road and go there?" |
19830 | O Sheriff, why did n''t you tell me who it was? |
19830 | Oh, my friends, do n''t you hear Jesus Christ crying to you to- night? |
19830 | Oh, my friends, how many of us act like this physician? |
19830 | Oh, my friends, wo n''t you trust Him? |
19830 | One day He said,"Whom do men say that I am?" |
19830 | One day, as the father was reading the papers, the boy came to him and put his hand on his shoulder and said:"Why do n''t you praise God? |
19830 | One of the young men said to the old darkey driver,"Samba, how old are you?" |
19830 | Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? |
19830 | Poor lost soul, which will you have? |
19830 | Said I,"Did you ever know anybody to be saved by that kind of thing, did you ever convert anybody by them?" |
19830 | Satan, Satan, what will you give? |
19830 | Says she,"''Do you think I am not in earnest? |
19830 | She said to her footman when she saw Rowland Hill in the midst of the people,"Why, who is that man?" |
19830 | She said to me,"Will you talk to my boys?" |
19830 | She took him by the hand and led him into the Sabbath- school"Can you give me a place to teach this little boy?" |
19830 | She was fearful of losing him altogether if he went out of the school that day, and she said to him,"Will you let me walk home with you?" |
19830 | She went into the room and the child asked her:"What are those clouds and mountains that I see so dark?" |
19830 | She went up to him and said,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
19830 | So he went to the little fellow and said,"''Now, Sammy, are you not going to ask your mother''s forgiveness?" |
19830 | So she looks out and asks:"John, is that you?" |
19830 | So the father went to him and said,"Why, Sammy, why do n''t you ask your mother''s forgiveness?" |
19830 | So they met in the middle of the room, both saying at once:"Will you forgive me?" |
19830 | Some skeptic might ask,"What is the philosophy of it?" |
19830 | Still there''s more to follow; Does His blessed presence, cheer? |
19830 | Still there''s more to follow; Falling like the gentle shower? |
19830 | Still there''s more to follow; Of His grace have you received? |
19830 | Suppose Mr. Moody had come to you and asked you if you were converted, what would you have told him?" |
19830 | Suppose a man asked me if my name was Moody, and I said,"Well, I hope so,"would n''t it sound rather strange? |
19830 | Suppose they had not believed it? |
19830 | Suppose we should write out here to- night this excuse, how would it sound? |
19830 | Tell me, is there any hope for me?" |
19830 | The Commissioner turned to the officer of the prison and inquired:"Are all the convicts here?" |
19830 | The Lord Jesus Christ, what will You give for this soul? |
19830 | The barrister asked,"What is the trouble?" |
19830 | The boy was touched, and what was the result? |
19830 | The father put his hands to his face and great tears rolled down his cheeks, as he said,"Can you take me to him?" |
19830 | The father stood for a minute looking at the Christian, and then asked:"Is Joseph sick?" |
19830 | The father went down to his office, and stayed all the afternoon, and when he came home he asked his wife,"Has Sammy asked your forgiveness?" |
19830 | The father went to his business, and when he came home at noon he said to his wife:"Has Sammy asked your forgiveness?" |
19830 | The father went to his business, and when he came home he said to his wife,"Has Sammy asked your forgiveness?" |
19830 | The first policeman he met he asked eagerly,"Have you seen my boy?" |
19830 | The merchant listened quietly to him, and then asked him,"How long have you known of these things?" |
19830 | The mother took her boy to her bosom and cried,"Oh, my boy,''''Who will take care of you when I am gone? |
19830 | The next day he called upon me-- he was a merchant in that city-- and said:"Do you remember me?" |
19830 | The question with us is, will we accept salvation-- will you believe? |
19830 | The total completely disheartened him; and he just put at the bottom of his figures,"Who is to pay this"? |
19830 | Then I pay attention; I say,"To me?" |
19830 | Then came the news that there was only one man in that whole number that was to be let go, and they all began to say,"Who is it?" |
19830 | Then she waited, as if for an answer, and then added,"Wo n''t you, please, God?" |
19830 | There was a time when our little boy did not like to go to church, and would get up in the morning and say to his mother,"What day is to- morrow?" |
19830 | They were asked,"Where do you go to church?" |
19830 | Was it not a glorious thing that she did not get discouraged because she had but one Sunday- school scholar? |
19830 | Was n''t that good news to them? |
19830 | We could not talk of religion, for the first word brought forth a hundred exclamations,''Are we sinking?'' |
19830 | We have passed the lower lights; and have lost our chance of getting into the harbor;"What was to be done? |
19830 | Well, shall we speak contemptuously of such a Saviour? |
19830 | What a contrast is the other father? |
19830 | What business are you in?" |
19830 | What can geologists tell you of the Rock of Ages, or mere astronomers about the Bright Morning Star? |
19830 | What could he do? |
19830 | What could the mother say? |
19830 | What did he care about that? |
19830 | What did it mean? |
19830 | What did the young convert here? |
19830 | What does he do? |
19830 | What does the poor fugitive do? |
19830 | What has made England but the open Bible? |
19830 | What have these infidels to give you in its place? |
19830 | What is the loss of a child to the loss of a soul? |
19830 | What is troubling you? |
19830 | What kind of feeling have you got? |
19830 | What will you do if you remain here? |
19830 | What would lying elders and false deacons be to him? |
19830 | What would you say of such a mother as that? |
19830 | What would you say? |
19830 | When I got back I asked my mother,"Is Mr. L-- living in such a place?" |
19830 | When I got home-- I remember it was on Saturday morning-- I said to my wife:"Did that young man preach at the meetings?" |
19830 | When he awoke, his first thought was,"Where is my child?" |
19830 | When he got through, my friend asked''him,"Well, what have you got up yonder?" |
19830 | When he tried to write his pen seemed to shape the words,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
19830 | When he was stripped and scourged by his persecutors you might have gone and asked him:"Well, Paul, what are you going to do now?" |
19830 | When inside he listened to the singing and heard the text,"Where art thou?" |
19830 | When my friend came back I said:"Have n''t you any children?" |
19830 | When the frontiersmen see what is coming, what do they do to escape? |
19830 | When the lady got back the colored woman came to her and said,"Now, is I free or ben''t I not? |
19830 | When the meeting was over I went to him and asked,"Have you ever spoken to your mother or tried to pray with her?" |
19830 | When these infidels are in trouble why do not they get some of their infidel friends to administer consolation? |
19830 | When they make a will why do they call in some follower of the Lord Jesus Christ to carry it out? |
19830 | Where did you die?" |
19830 | Who likes to go to a feast better than a young bride? |
19830 | Who will look to you?" |
19830 | Who will sign that? |
19830 | Why did he not take his Wife along? |
19830 | Why did he not take his wife along with him? |
19830 | Why do n''t you go down to these meetings that are being held?" |
19830 | Why do n''t you sing about Christ? |
19830 | Why had n''t He taken some of them away? |
19830 | Why is it that many Christians are cold? |
19830 | Why? |
19830 | Will you decide now? |
19830 | Will you not remember me in your prayers, and beseech God to save my soul from eternal destruction? |
19830 | Will you say He has not the power to redeem you? |
19830 | Wo n''t you go and see him? |
19830 | Would you come up to the reporters''table, take up a pen and put your name down to such an excuse? |
19830 | Would you sign that, young man? |
19830 | Would you, mother? |
19830 | You have been in my house; have associated with me; you knew all these things, and why did n''t you tell me before?" |
19830 | and I put the question:"Who''ll receive Him now?" |
19830 | asked the criminal,"who was in here and talked so kind to me?" |
19830 | can you spell? |
19830 | can you write? |
19830 | how did it come about?" |
19830 | if your boy was dying, and he called on you to pray, could you lift your burdened heart to heaven? |
19830 | never to see the world again?" |
19830 | replied my friend,"You, a man of your discretion, wisdom, business ability, have made no provision for your future?" |
19830 | said my friend,"and that land there with the house upon it?" |
19830 | they asked,"Dinna ye hear them comin?" |
19830 | you ask;"how do you know it was the right kind of a hand?" |
33520 | ''And believeth on Him that sent me--''"You believe God sent Jesus? |
33520 | ''He that heareth My Word--''"You believe that? |
33520 | Are not you the man who has been begging here every night? |
33520 | Are you a Christian? |
33520 | Be''s I free, or be I not? |
33520 | Ca n''t you turn her head round? |
33520 | Can not Christ find him, and bring him back? |
33520 | Did n''t I tell you I would catch you? |
33520 | Did you really get it in that way? |
33520 | Do you believe it is a fact? |
33520 | Do you remember the young man who answered you so roughly the other night? |
33520 | How did it happen? |
33520 | How did you know it was good money? |
33520 | How do you know it was the right kind of hand? |
33520 | How is that? |
33520 | How was it done? |
33520 | I thought you said you would not believe anything you could not reason out? |
33520 | If I say, I''ll trust Him, will He save me? |
33520 | Then what have you got the lantern for? |
33520 | WHY DON''T YOU LOVE JESUS? |
33520 | Well, but,say some,"is there not a sowing time as well as harvest?" |
33520 | Well, did n''t I say''whosoever''? |
33520 | Well,I said,"how long have you been one?" |
33520 | What am I to do, then? |
33520 | What does your church believe? |
33520 | What have you done with that blood? |
33520 | What must I do to be saved? |
33520 | Where did you get your good clothes? 33520 Why not? |
33520 | Why, I was listening to your sermon last night, and when you asked,''Who''ll receive Him now?'' 33520 Why,"says the mistress,"what are you talking about? |
33520 | Willie, did n''t I tell you I would catch you? 33520 Wilt thou go with this man?" |
33520 | You believe you_ have_ everlasting life? |
33520 | 15:"How shall they preach, except they be sent? |
33520 | 24, we read:"Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? |
33520 | 40, where we find him saying to the other thief,"Dost not thou fear God?" |
33520 | Am I to depend upon my works? |
33520 | And I ask you,"Will you not be reconciled?" |
33520 | And I would like to ask you this question, Has not God a right to say who shall come into His kingdom, and how we shall come? |
33520 | And Saul cried out,"Who art thou?" |
33520 | And as I go on through the world I can shout now, when the bell is tolling,"O death, where is thy sting?" |
33520 | And now God comes down into this unbelieving world, and says,"Who will set to his seal that I am true?" |
33520 | And now, my dear friends, did you ever ask yourselves, Which is the worst-- the leprosy of sin, or the leprosy of the body? |
33520 | And so I want to ask the friends in this hall, Who will set to his seal or her seal that God is true? |
33520 | And so this young man was met by Satan, who whispered to him,"How do you know that is a right translation?" |
33520 | And the thought flashed across my mind,"Will there be no difference? |
33520 | And the young man said,"Doctor, do you believe that?" |
33520 | And what convicted him? |
33520 | And what was the message that the angels brought to those shepherds? |
33520 | And when Rebekah appeared, they said to her,"Wilt thou go with this man?" |
33520 | And when she asks him,"Well, husband, how is it?" |
33520 | And where are you then? |
33520 | And why? |
33520 | And, sinner, can you, in all your difficulties or doubts and fears, have a better leader than Jehovah? |
33520 | Are we in difficulties, in doubt, or in perplexity? |
33520 | Are we willing to receive what Christ has already done? |
33520 | Are you going to let present opportunity pass without coming to Christ? |
33520 | Are you going to let these solemn moments come to an end without entering the ark? |
33520 | Are you in doubt about anything? |
33520 | Are you ready to confess Him as your Lord and Saviour, and take your stand by the Master, and say from this hour, I will serve the Lord Jesus? |
33520 | At last an old man got up, and said,"What is the matter with us, that we are downhearted and sad? |
33520 | But did that take away his guilt? |
33520 | But do we walk thus in an unclouded sky? |
33520 | But how could God be just and the justifier of sinners? |
33520 | But now the grave has lost its terror and gloom; I can go and look down into the grave and shout over it, and cry out,"O grave, where is thy victory?" |
33520 | But suppose I meet a man whom I have seen out here night after night begging, and I say to him,"Hullo, beggar, is that you?" |
33520 | But when his money was gone, where were his friends? |
33520 | But who did Christ say it to? |
33520 | By and by the pilot was heard to say,"Do you see the lower lights?" |
33520 | Can you bring life to the dead? |
33520 | Can you buy it? |
33520 | Can you by yourself make them clean? |
33520 | Can you do a better thing than trust to God for salvation? |
33520 | Can you feel that He has lifted your burden off your shoulders on to His own shoulder? |
33520 | Dear afflicted mothers, has God not removed your children to a pure and happy life? |
33520 | Did I understand you aright? |
33520 | Did you ever hear of any one going down to hell trusting in Jesus? |
33520 | Did you ever hear of anybody being cured of leprosy?" |
33520 | Did you ever think what a terrible state of things it would be if man was allowed to live for ever in his lost, ruined state? |
33520 | Do n''t you? |
33520 | Do you believe more than ever that you are a sinner? |
33520 | Do you know why?" |
33520 | Do you say Christ is nothing to you? |
33520 | Do you think when that boy grew up he could fail to love that mother who died to save him? |
33520 | Do you want to know how to get faith? |
33520 | Do you want to know the reason why? |
33520 | Do you want to know what it is? |
33520 | For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? |
33520 | Glorious, is it not, to know we have such a Saviour? |
33520 | God says,"Let him take"; who can stop us if God says it? |
33520 | Has God ever broken His word? |
33520 | Has not England a right to say who shall rule it, and who shall be its Queen? |
33520 | Has the Blood touched you? |
33520 | Have I been born of the Spirit?" |
33520 | Have they taken you to theatres and vicious places, and left you bleeding and wounded? |
33520 | Have you not heard of it?" |
33520 | He attempted to write, with the same result; every letter seemed to ask him,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
33520 | He might have turned on Peter and said,"Peter, is it true you do n''t know me? |
33520 | He says,"What do you mean by being born again-- born from above, born of the Spirit? |
33520 | He thought at first to push her aside, but the child pressed it home again,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
33520 | He thought,"How am I to tell his parents?" |
33520 | He turned round, and said,"My friend, are you not blind?" |
33520 | He went on to his office, but he felt as if every letter he opened read,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
33520 | His breath departs from him, he dies, and where is your help? |
33520 | His wife says,"Where did you get that Bible?" |
33520 | How am I to be saved? |
33520 | How are you going to wash them? |
33520 | How can He be in us if we do n''t receive Him and trust Him? |
33520 | How is this you are not a beggar?" |
33520 | How many people want to do the same nowadays? |
33520 | I am satisfied with the finished work of my Son, and will you be satisfied?" |
33520 | I ask you once again,"Where will you spend eternity? |
33520 | I can fancy Naaman''s indignation as he asks,"Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? |
33520 | I can imagine him saying to his servant,"What did you say? |
33520 | I have been asked by a great many good men,"Why is it we do n''t have any results? |
33520 | I imagine some of you will say,"Have n''t I anything to do?" |
33520 | I said,"Do you believe the Bible?" |
33520 | I say to you, young man, will you have this gift? |
33520 | I say,"My friend, what makes you so happy?" |
33520 | I went forward and said,"Are you a Christian?" |
33520 | If Christ did not die for our sins, what is going to become of our souls? |
33520 | If God does not save us, who will? |
33520 | If He did not, how are we going to get rid of them? |
33520 | If any one is here that really loves a man, is she thinking of how much she will have to give up? |
33520 | If death should come after any one of us to- night, are we sheltered behind the blood? |
33520 | If he do n''t, what is the good of trying to build a house? |
33520 | If there is a persecutor here to- night, I would ask you,"Why persecute Jesus?" |
33520 | If we are dark and sorrowful, how is the world to know that we are children of peace, and joy, and gladness? |
33520 | If we make light of that blood, what is going to become of our souls? |
33520 | If you are ever to be saved, why not now? |
33520 | If you die without Christ, without hope, and without God, where will you be? |
33520 | If you do not pity him and love him when I am dead and gone, who will?" |
33520 | If you make light of so great a salvation, how can you escape the damnation of hell? |
33520 | Is He not worthy of it? |
33520 | Is it not a wonderful thing? |
33520 | Is it not good news to get rid of your sin? |
33520 | Is it not the very best thing you can do? |
33520 | Is it true you have forgotten how I cured and healed your wife''s mother when she lay at the point of death? |
33520 | Is it true you have forgotten how I raised you up when you were sinking in the sea? |
33520 | Is it true you have forgotten that mountain scene when you wanted to build the three tabernacles? |
33520 | Is it true, Peter, you have forgotten me?" |
33520 | Is not God worthy of our confidence? |
33520 | Is not God worthy of our trust? |
33520 | Is not that good news? |
33520 | Is not that wonderful? |
33520 | Is that all I have to do?" |
33520 | Is that there?" |
33520 | Is there any place in the Bible where it says''Take,''or is it only a word you use? |
33520 | Is there any reason why you should not have faith in God? |
33520 | Is there not a Ruth here? |
33520 | It cost God so much to give us this blood, and shall we try to keep it from the world which is perishing from the want of it? |
33520 | It is the most solemn question that will ever come before you down here,"Have I been born from above? |
33520 | It''s very cheap, is n''t it? |
33520 | Let me ask the poor backslider, Did you ever feel the touch of the hand of Jesus? |
33520 | Let me ask you, my friend, Is there any reason why you should hate Christ, or why your heart should be turned against Him? |
33520 | Listen, and hear what He says--"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?" |
33520 | Make haste to be wise; for"how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?" |
33520 | Moody?" |
33520 | Moody?" |
33520 | Mother, father, will you claim Him as your Shepherd? |
33520 | My friends, are you going to"Take"to- night? |
33520 | My little child, will you have Jesus as your Shepherd? |
33520 | Now I am old, can I a second time enter my mother''s womb, and be born again?" |
33520 | Now faith is-- what? |
33520 | Now just let me stop a minute, and you think, and ask yourselves this question,"Have I been born again?" |
33520 | Now, can you tell me by what process that same grass was turned into feathers, hair, bristles, and wool?" |
33520 | Now, is it too much to ask or to expect that every person in this hall should put their faith in God? |
33520 | Now, my friends, will you go with this man? |
33520 | Now, my friends, you may say you pity a man who was so badly off, but did it ever strike you that you are a thousand times worse off? |
33520 | Now, one question: What are you going to do with Christ? |
33520 | Now, who will accept of that redemption? |
33520 | Now, you that never trusted Him, wo n''t you just leap right into His arms to- night? |
33520 | Now, young man, do you want Him to save you? |
33520 | Oh, sheriff, why did you not tell me? |
33520 | Only this afternoon, as I was in the inquiry- room, a person came in, and I said,"Are you a Christian?" |
33520 | Or can you raise up a dead body by saying,"Young man, arise"? |
33520 | People say,"What is faith?" |
33520 | Saul of Tarsus, Zacchà ¦ us, and a host of others; how long did it take the Lord to bring them about? |
33520 | Shall it be with the saints, and martyrs, and prophets, or in the dark caverns of hell, amidst blackness and darkness for ever? |
33520 | She came again, and I asked,"What is the trouble?" |
33520 | She looked strangely at me, and said,"Do n''t you believe me?" |
33520 | Sinner, how are you going to get your robes clean if you do n''t get them washed in the blood of the Lamb? |
33520 | So she went to the doctor, and said,"Would you like me to take care of my boy?" |
33520 | Some of you smile at this illustration, but the Bible uses it, and if God uses it in His word, why should not I? |
33520 | Some people say,"Why, if these men are holding, as you say, error, why should they be so in earnest?" |
33520 | Some think much of their dinner; why should not God''s children think a good deal of THEIR SPIRITUAL FOOD? |
33520 | Suppose I were to say, I will give this Bible to"whosoever"; what have you got to do? |
33520 | Suppose the windows of this building were all closed, and we were complaining of the darkness, what would any one say to us? |
33520 | Surely that is broad enough-- is it not? |
33520 | THE RIGHT KIND OF FAITH"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" |
33520 | Take that away, and what is my hope in heaven? |
33520 | That was a glorious thing to do, was it not, sinner? |
33520 | That was a good number in a short time, was it not? |
33520 | The President saw the child, and called her to him, and said,"My child, what can I do for you?" |
33520 | The dying man sprang up from his cot, and said,"What do you say? |
33520 | The following Sunday night I was preaching about"receiving,"and I put the question,"Who''ll receive Him now?" |
33520 | The great question is-- Have you got the token? |
33520 | The man turned deathly pale, and he threw up both his hands, and said,"Was that Governor Pollock? |
33520 | The next day he called upon me-- he was a merchant in that city-- and said,"Do you remember me?" |
33520 | Then he said,"Wo n''t you please read it to me again?" |
33520 | Then why not ask Him? |
33520 | Then you say,"If it is not by working in earnest, how am I to be saved?" |
33520 | There are moments in the life of us all when we seem in a fix; we just stand still, and say,"What shall I do? |
33520 | There is a man dying-- can you put new life into him? |
33520 | There may be some who are saying, Why does God demand blood? |
33520 | There was an old man sitting there listening, and he said to them,"You say you wo n''t believe anything you ca n''t reason out?" |
33520 | There was love and sympathy in that hand, and the moment the slumbering boy felt it, he said,"Oh, mother, have you come?" |
33520 | They asked Christ,"What must we do that we may work the works of God?" |
33520 | They were terribly in earnest, yet did God hear their cry? |
33520 | True, it was written over His cross,"Jesus, the King of the Jews"; but where was His kingdom? |
33520 | Very simple, is n''t it? |
33520 | WHAT IS CHRIST TO YOU? |
33520 | WHERE WILL YOU BE A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE?" |
33520 | WHO WILL HAVE IT? |
33520 | Was it not a change? |
33520 | Was it their good resolutions or their works? |
33520 | Well, how long did it take Naaman to be cured? |
33520 | Well, if man do not ask payment twice, will God? |
33520 | What act could have been more black and hellish? |
33520 | What are you going to do? |
33520 | What convicted him? |
33520 | What could stand before them then? |
33520 | What did he do? |
33520 | What did the mother do? |
33520 | What do you say?" |
33520 | What does Christ say to him? |
33520 | What does Ruth say? |
33520 | What has brought darkness into the world? |
33520 | What has that to do with the new birth, being united with the church on earth? |
33520 | What is He willing to be to you, if you will have Him? |
33520 | What is he to do there? |
33520 | What is he to do? |
33520 | What is his name? |
33520 | What is that to do with the new birth and the new creation? |
33520 | What is the gift of God if it is not eternal life? |
33520 | What is this but the bloodshedding and death of Christ? |
33520 | What is your burden, my friend, that you can not leave with Christ?" |
33520 | What made the difference? |
33520 | What more can you do, and what less can you do than trust Him? |
33520 | What now do they need? |
33520 | What right have I to complain? |
33520 | What right have you to cut a verse in two, and say you believe the one half, but not the other? |
33520 | What says the great wilderness preacher? |
33520 | What was it saved those men? |
33520 | What was it then that convicted this poor thief? |
33520 | What was it? |
33520 | What was to be done? |
33520 | What would you say? |
33520 | What would you think of a farmer who went on sowing all the year round, and never thought of reaping? |
33520 | When the hunters see it coming, what do they do? |
33520 | Whence comes our want of faith? |
33520 | Where will you be a hundred years hence?" |
33520 | Where will you be, on the left or the right hand of God? |
33520 | Who was he? |
33520 | Who will come to God as the poor prodigal did? |
33520 | Who will have Christ-- who will trust Him? |
33520 | Who will have faith in Him to- night? |
33520 | Who will have it now? |
33520 | Who will say it this afternoon? |
33520 | Who will say to- night, as Ruth did,"I will follow thee; and thy God shall be my God"? |
33520 | Who will say yes to- night, and take it? |
33520 | Who will set to his seal that God is true? |
33520 | Who will take God at His word to- night? |
33520 | Who will take Him? |
33520 | Who will trust Him to- night? |
33520 | Whoever heard of a man going out to fish, and setting his net, and then letting it stop there, and never pulling it in? |
33520 | Why is that? |
33520 | Why should not every man and woman in this house have faith in God? |
33520 | Why should not every one put confidence in Him now, and trust God to save them? |
33520 | Why, suppose a man said,"Mr. Moody, I have no faith in you whatever,"do n''t you think it would grieve me? |
33520 | Why, then, are we not full of faith in Him? |
33520 | Why? |
33520 | Why? |
33520 | Why? |
33520 | Why? |
33520 | Will Pa deceive you? |
33520 | Will any one take up the language of Ruth? |
33520 | Will you despise the mercy of God? |
33520 | Will you have the pardon, or will you despise the gift of God? |
33520 | Will you not lay hold of the promise, and trust it, and follow Him now? |
33520 | Will you receive His love and compassion? |
33520 | Wo n''t you just take Him at His word, and believe on Him now? |
33520 | Wo n''t you please read it to me again?" |
33520 | Wonderful thing, is it not, to have God to help us on our way? |
33520 | Would any judge in the land support him? |
33520 | Would you call that being born from above? |
33520 | Would you have it return? |
33520 | Would you insult the Almighty by offering the fruits of this frail body to atone for sin? |
33520 | You belong to that class, do n''t you? |
33520 | You may get angry, like a man a short time ago, who marched out of a church, saying,"What right has that American to make such a statement?" |
33520 | You want to be fed; are you going to wander about seeking something to satisfy the cravings of your soul? |
33520 | You, mother, are you weeping bitter tears for your little one? |
33520 | Young man, I will leave you to answer the question, Was it not a good thing he settled it that night? |
33520 | Young man, have you come to London, and fallen in with bad companions? |
33520 | Young man, just ask yourself the question,"Where shall I be?" |
33520 | Young man, young woman, will you have Him as your Shepherd? |
33520 | how long would she rule this empire? |
33520 | how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?" |
33520 | may I not wash in them, and be clean?" |
33520 | please, tell me, why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
33520 | was that kind- hearted man the governor? |
47538 | Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee,were the apostle''s ardent and affectionate words; and how did the Saviour regard them? |
47538 | How may I know that I am become an heir of heaven? 47538 Recant,"that is, deny the Word of God, was in substance the demand made from Luther; and was the demand conceded? |
47538 | Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? 47538 Shall neither man nor God,"he said to one,"hear from your lips,''O my sins, my sins, I fear they will ruin my soul for ever?'' |
47538 | What must I do to be saved? |
47538 | ''Whom have I in heaven but thee? |
47538 | --"O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me?" |
47538 | --When the standard- bearer falls, who will fight? |
47538 | A little child, then, was the Saviour''s model disciple; and what are the characteristics of childhood? |
47538 | After this, why wait for some costly apparatus for doing good? |
47538 | All, all are earnest, zealous, sanguine in the pursuit of evil-- and shall they who hold the truth be alone lethargic, listless, apathetic? |
47538 | Am I not sinning against my soul and my God, by such exhausting engrossments? |
47538 | An occasional glance at the Word of God? |
47538 | An occasional petition to his throne? |
47538 | An occasional visit to his house? |
47538 | And is not that a perfect model of the trust we should repose in the word of our Father who is in heaven? |
47538 | And what caused that disaster and these watery graves? |
47538 | And what is it that constitutes its beauty? |
47538 | And what is the antidote? |
47538 | And what was the result? |
47538 | And what will give that tempted youth the victory? |
47538 | And when was it otherwise? |
47538 | And who can doubt that confidence placed or preference given anywhere but to God, will blight and wither all at last? |
47538 | And who can ever compute the guilt of those who tamper with a servant''s truthfulness, and train her to falsehood, to screen them from intruders? |
47538 | And who has not seen this verified? |
47538 | And who will marvel, then, if not a few make shipwreck of the faith and a good conscience, just at the threshold of their marriage- chamber? |
47538 | And, what is it that has achieved these results? |
47538 | Are they benevolent or merciful, who assail the bodily disease, but neglect the divine antidote for the soul? |
47538 | Are they enduring no wicked thing before their eyes, according to the Word of the Eternal? |
47538 | Are they not doing all that they can to assure the worldly man that his views of religion are correct-- that it is a pretence, hypocrisy, and a name? |
47538 | Are they seeking the eternal good of those with whom they are connected? |
47538 | Are we not both reproved and instructed by such little children, as to implicitly confiding in the promises of the unchanging One? |
47538 | Are we not taught to esteem others better than ourselves, to love as brethren, to be pitiful and courteous? |
47538 | Are we not told that only the Gentiles are anxious and fretful? |
47538 | But did not He who wounded heal? |
47538 | But do we rush into danger unsent? |
47538 | But remorseless death comes: he strikes down the object to which affection clings; and where is the bereaved one now? |
47538 | But what/can/ yield joy, if not the favour of God? |
47538 | But, on the other hand, are the lines of that young convert cast only amid trials, and not actual sins? |
47538 | Can a form atone for guilt? |
47538 | Can a name, an echo, a phantom, a shadow, really avail that dying man''s soul? |
47538 | Can a pageant cleanse the conscience? |
47538 | Can some occasional observance of a religious rite operate like a charm, and either silence the demands or uphold the purity of the law of God? |
47538 | Can we be sane, and at the same time pretend to select a better standard, a better rule, a better aim, than that which God prescribes? |
47538 | Can we, in the nature of things, ever find a path more pleasant than that in which the Eternal leads us? |
47538 | Can we, in the nature of things, ever find a wiser guide than the only- wise God? |
47538 | Did he welcome them as a solace to his troubles? |
47538 | Do not worldly engrossments steal the heart from God? |
47538 | Do they not place the most unquestioning confidence in the information of those whom they love? |
47538 | Do we meet it while we are in pursuit of pleasure, and not in the path of duty? |
47538 | Does Christ reign in any soul now? |
47538 | Does sin become an offence? |
47538 | Does the Heart- searcher know that that man is perpetrating sin and regardless of his soul? |
47538 | Does the love of Christ constrain any heart and soul? |
47538 | Every family that calls on the name of the Lord should spread out his Word before them, and ask, What has God said? |
47538 | Godliness does not permit a man to ask, What will my fellow- mortals approve? |
47538 | Has God, then, left us without joy? |
47538 | Has any man discovered that, to live only for the present hour and its pleasures, is to sink to the level of the beasts which perish? |
47538 | Has any man felt that salvation must take precedence of all besides, in the mind of a rational being? |
47538 | Has any man felt that the high concerns of an infinite futurity demand instant attention, and adjustment on the earliest possible day? |
47538 | Has the truth been lodged in the heart? |
47538 | Has the truth of God taken possession of any man''s soul? |
47538 | Has the wisdom which comes from above been consulted? |
47538 | Have they not found a recess for communion with God, where no eye saw, and no ear heard, but his? |
47538 | He has seven nations to conquer, as well as a numerous people to guide, and amid the manifold engrossments of that position, how is Joshua employed? |
47538 | How did a passion so extraordinary affect those who had been impelled by its power? |
47538 | How does it happen that instead of the thorn the fir- tree has come up; instead of the brier, the myrtle? |
47538 | How may I assuredly retain my Christianity in the Market- place, in the haunts of Commerce, or among its busy men? |
47538 | How may I know that God is in me of a truth? |
47538 | How perceive, or feel, or rejoice? |
47538 | How shall we be prepared to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, in our homes? |
47538 | How shall we be sustained? |
47538 | How shall we subdue the spirit of the world, which is ever seeking to insinuate its deadening influence? |
47538 | How, then, can it be time, the question again and again recurs, that such buffeted men have the promise of the present life? |
47538 | If for ten righteous men, the Almighty would have spared Sodom, shall not a thousand acts of goodness done by Dr. Dodd counterbalance one crime? |
47538 | Is Christ on earth showing us the Father? |
47538 | Is Christ stamping on us now the image of the Eternal, and restoring what the fall ruined or effaced? |
47538 | Is God''s revealed mind placed high above the highest of all authorities? |
47538 | Is a man living in a state of estrangement from God? |
47538 | Is he violating God''s law? |
47538 | Is he, for the sake of gold, or honour, or any selfish end, sojourning near some focus of sin? |
47538 | Is it not added,"I will not leave you orphans?" |
47538 | Is it not announced as a general maxim, to which there can be no exceptive case,"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof?" |
47538 | Is it not like a wound to his immortal nature? |
47538 | Is it not true that unthinking men, in pursuit of the wages of sin, scatter firebrands, and arrows, and death, though they say, Am not I in sport? |
47538 | Is it thus that I can train my children in the way in which they ought to go?" |
47538 | Is not that man under some dire infatuation, who thinks that he can discover a safer? |
47538 | Is not this their promised lot--"In the world ye shall have tribulation;"or"The world shall laugh, but ye shall weep and lament?" |
47538 | Is the Word of God loved? |
47538 | Is the breath of spring a source of gladness to man''s fevered brow? |
47538 | Is the face of nature a source of pleasure to him who has long been immured amid the damps of a dungeon? |
47538 | Is the mind of God, the law of the Lord, our guide? |
47538 | Is the salvation of God sought? |
47538 | It is by His spirit that we are sanctified-- and are they the wise who ignore all this? |
47538 | It never pauses to inquire, What will men think? |
47538 | Its all- decisive question is, What has God said? |
47538 | Maintaining a daily conflict with pain, shall they ignore its origin? |
47538 | Might they not all exist in a world where the Son of God is unknown-- where no need of him is felt, and no reference to him made? |
47538 | Moreover, are not the men called godly often hated, and persecuted, and of all men the most miserable? |
47538 | Nay, does not an apostle himself confess, that, in certain conditions, Christians may be of all men the most miserable? |
47538 | Nay, is it not like taking fire to his bosom? |
47538 | Need anything be said to enforce the moral of such a case? |
47538 | Need we add, religion repudiates all these fetches? |
47538 | Now, amid such employments, what can be the topics but the common salvation? |
47538 | Now, are the engagements of that young convert really sinful? |
47538 | Now, by what process was this youth enabled to make such acquirements in godliness as that prayer betokens? |
47538 | Now, can it be rational for men to be daily cognisant with that connection, and do nothing to counteract it? |
47538 | Now, for what purpose should all that ascendency be employed? |
47538 | Now, how is this apparent contradiction to be explained? |
47538 | Now, is not that a model to be copied by all who know God''s name, and put their trust in Him? |
47538 | Now, is that the case? |
47538 | Now, when does that struggle cease? |
47538 | Now, would I introduce that blessed era as far as I am concerned? |
47538 | On the one hand, if these anxieties and cares drive us from our steadfastness, and if God be left out of sight, will that diminish our cares? |
47538 | On the other hand, however, does some child receive the truth into the heart? |
47538 | On the other hand, if we hold fast our integrity, is it to be feared that we shall be put to shame at last? |
47538 | One man seeks happiness in sin; but did he ever find it? |
47538 | Others are like the restless sea; and whence this difference? |
47538 | Shall no prayer,''God, be merciful to me a sinner,''break from your heart?" |
47538 | Shall we recognise in glory those whom we loved on earth?--or is the Alpha and the Omega of faith, the Alpha and the Omega of fruition? |
47538 | The question which we should ask in regard to our home religion is not, What is done by others? |
47538 | The truth of God may be no truth to us; His love in the Saviour may exercise no constraining power-- and what is the reason? |
47538 | Under that constraining power, do old things pass away, and all things become new? |
47538 | We have looked at it as it/should/ reign in the Heart:/Does/ it reign there? |
47538 | We have studied it as presiding in our Homes, and leading all who are there in the"way of the Lord:"To what extent has that been accomplished? |
47538 | What are to be our employments in heaven? |
47538 | What but the love of the Redeemer, and the mercies to which that love opened the way, can occupy such men''s souls? |
47538 | What can more perfectly pamper the selfishness of man than to be told that"spiritual dependence may lead to material destruction?" |
47538 | What can throw open the door for indulgence so widely as to be assured that we need not prepare for hereafter-- that earth is all? |
47538 | What do men think? |
47538 | What forms may not be impressed upon the molten lead? |
47538 | What is his mind at any given point? |
47538 | What is it that occasions war, and massacre, and devastation? |
47538 | What is it that produces the earthquake? |
47538 | What is it that produces thunder? |
47538 | What more congenial to man than to be told that he need not care much about his soul? |
47538 | What then? |
47538 | What though artificial standards have elevated a nominal wealth to the value of Potosi or Golconda? |
47538 | What though one, or two, or a few realized wealth, and withdrew in time from the ingulfing vortex? |
47538 | What though some might be charioted to- day, who yesterday lived by the sweat of their brows? |
47538 | What will be most conducive to present ease or peace? |
47538 | What will the world tolerate? |
47538 | What, then, is it that has sustained her spirit, amid trials which we almost shudder to see? |
47538 | What/can/ dry our tears or soothe our sorrows, if not He who came as a Comforter to earth, and who re- erects the kingdom of God in the soul? |
47538 | What/can/ give peace, if not the Prince of Peace? |
47538 | What/can/ impart true nobility, if not restoration to the image of God? |
47538 | What/can/ spread sunshine through the soul, if not the sense of sin forgiven? |
47538 | When is that soul really surrendered to the supremacy of God? |
47538 | When the Cross is torn down by those who should point to it, who will believe? |
47538 | When we became idolaters, did he leave us to our idols, to tears, and woe? |
47538 | Whence come persecutions? |
47538 | Where, on earth, can a scene so appropriate for religion as a dying man''s chamber be found? |
47538 | Who can doubt that the accumulated thousands of many who name Christ''s name are their god? |
47538 | Who ever tasted, touched, or handled what pollutes, and yet continued pure? |
47538 | Who ever threw in their lot with godless men, without incurring the risk of sharing their doom? |
47538 | Who has not seen the flushed cheek, the quivering lip, and the downcast eye of youth, when first beginning to deceive? |
47538 | Who would speak of them as the haunts of the happy? |
47538 | Why are God''s people often of all men the most miserable? |
47538 | Will they grasp at feigned reasons for violating the Sabbath law? |
47538 | Will they use their liberty, or will they abuse it? |
47538 | Withal, however, is there not reason to believe that there is still room for more precise and definite instructions than are sometimes conveyed? |
47538 | Would I see the kingdom of God set up in our groaning world; and would I like to fix a day for its commencement? |
47538 | Would men then be happy? |
47538 | Would you refuse to let the oppressor plant his foot on the happy island of your home? |
47538 | Would you repel the attack of a robber were he to invade the midnight silence of your home? |
47538 | Would you struggle for your life were you suddenly to fall into a stream or the sea? |
47538 | Yet who would regard these waste places as the abodes of living men? |
47538 | Yet, is there no pretext afforded to that worldly man for the opinions which he holds? |
47538 | You would: then will you calmly sink to rise no more for ever, as regards the soul? |
47538 | [ 17]--And is there no reason to fear that that spirit has been perpetuated to modern times? |
47538 | [ 8] And once again: Are not children proverbial for their dependence on a parent''s word? |
47538 | and how does the desert blossom as the rose? |
47538 | but, What has God said? |
47538 | or that to be a coward before man''s frown, and to have no fear of God''s, is to act an impious part? |
47538 | or,"hast thou come to torment us before the time?" |
47538 | what is current, or what is countenanced among them? |
8534 | Do n''t you see,he said to her,"that by giving up your own way, you will be virtually putting a cross on the grave? |
8534 | What is my next duty? 8534 What shall I do to gain eternal life?" |
8534 | Who is thy neighbor? |
8534 | ''Tis enough that Thou wilt care; Why should I the burden bear? |
8534 | ''Tis true, He hath chastened thee with rods and sore afflictions; but did He ever take away His loving- kindness from thee? |
8534 | 1, is our"bodies"? |
8534 | A myriad homes,--a myriad ways,-- And God''s eye over every place? |
8534 | Am I acting in simplicity, from a germ of the Divine life within, or am I shaping my path to obtain some immediate result of expediency? |
8534 | Among so many, can He care? |
8534 | And am I what I am pretending? |
8534 | And doth not the love, the rest, the peace, the joy felt, swallow up all the bitterness and sorrow of the outward condition? |
8534 | And how shall we know this? |
8534 | And sound my word and thought the same? |
8534 | And what will thy heavenly Father do but what that father did in the parable? |
8534 | And when any special thing is repugnant to you, ask"Wouldst Thou have me do it? |
8534 | Any cup at our home- table whose sweetness we have not fully tasted, although it might yet make of our daily bread a continual feast? |
8534 | Appear I always what I am? |
8534 | Are they not almost the staple of our daily happiness? |
8534 | Art thou not the"Living Garment"of God? |
8534 | As to what may befall us outwardly, in this confused state of things, shall we not trust our tender Father, and rest satisfied in His will? |
8534 | Ask"What should I like myself, if I were hard- worked, or sick, or lonely?" |
8534 | August 23_ Seekest thou great things for thyself? |
8534 | Be quiet, soul: Why shouldst thou care and sadness borrow, Why sit in nameless fear and sorrow, The livelong day? |
8534 | Be quiet, why this anxious heed About thy tangled ways? |
8534 | Because you are forced to be outwardly inactive, do you think you, also, may not be, in your years of quiet,"about your Father''s business"? |
8534 | Because you are not sent out yet into your labor, do you think God has ceased to remember you? |
8534 | Believ''st thou in eternal things? |
8534 | Bore I not helm of pride and glittering sword? |
8534 | But how will you find good? |
8534 | But let that love flow out upon all around you, and what could harm you? |
8534 | But shall we be less ready for these, if any of them are His appointments for to- day? |
8534 | But what says the Psalmist? |
8534 | But you will go forth, and what will you find, my daughter? |
8534 | Can special love be everywhere? |
8534 | Can we be unsafe where He has placed us? |
8534 | Can we walk with God in the shop, in the office, in the household, and on the street? |
8534 | Can you not cease to regard whether you do or not, whether you be bewildered, whether you be happy? |
8534 | December 19_ And now, Lord, what wait I for? |
8534 | December 21_ Hast thou not known? |
8534 | Did ever a man try heroism, magnanimity, truth, sincerity, and find that there was no advantage in them,--that it was a vain endeavor? |
8534 | Did you ever hear of a man who had striven all his life faithfully and singly toward an object and in no measure obtained it? |
8534 | Difficult enough, you think? |
8534 | Do thy steps drag heavily? |
8534 | Do we not already know that the name of the Infinite is GOOD, is GOD? |
8534 | Do you not see that a person who truly loves is one with the Infinite Being-- cannot be uncomfortable or unhappy? |
8534 | Does any one complain, that the best affections are transient visitors with him, and the heavenly spirit a stranger to his heart? |
8534 | Dost thou ask when comes His hour? |
8534 | For who is he that shall hinder thee from being good and simple? |
8534 | Have you ever thought seriously of the meaning of that blessing given to the peacemakers? |
8534 | His children,--how can he make the day sweeter to them? |
8534 | His wife,--what needs has she for help, for sympathy, that he can meet? |
8534 | How are you to attain self- control, if you shun all occasions of practising it? |
8534 | How can charity towards all men fail to follow, being the mere affectionateness of innocence and peace? |
8534 | How can we come to perceive this direct leading of God? |
8534 | How couldst thou hang upon the cross, To whom a weary hour is loss? |
8534 | How do you know what you may lose by neglecting this duty, which you think so trifling, or the blessing which its faithful performance may bring? |
8534 | How does our will become sanctified? |
8534 | How shall thou bear the cross that now So dread a weight appears? |
8534 | How shall we rest in God? |
8534 | I looked thereon with the eye of my understanding, and thought,"What may this be?" |
8534 | I would have you, one by one, ask yourselves, Wherein do I take up the cross daily? |
8534 | If He appoints me to wait in- doors to- day, am I to be annoyed because I am not to work out- of- doors? |
8534 | If He appoints me to work there, shall I lament that I am not to work here? |
8534 | If a man constantly aspires, is he not elevated? |
8534 | If thou canst not make thyself such an one as thou wouldest, how canst thou expect to have another in all things to thy liking? |
8534 | If we can not work out the will of God where God has placed us, then why has He placed us there? |
8534 | If we forget them not, shall they not remember us with God? |
8534 | If we have a cold heart towards a servant or a friend, why should we wonder if we have no fervor towards God? |
8534 | In"pastures green"? |
8534 | Is it Thy will that I should be in a public or a private condition, dwell here, or be banished, be poor or rich? |
8534 | Is it not His own precious treasure, and a small thing with Him to forgive thee thy trespasses, if thou believe in Him? |
8534 | Is it possible for any of us in these modern days to so live that we may walk with God? |
8534 | Is it want of strength? |
8534 | Is not such self- choosing a greater fault than those into which you fear to fall? |
8534 | Is there nothing you know you ought not to do? |
8534 | Is there nothing you neglect? |
8534 | Is this, indeed, the tone and tenor of your prayers? |
8534 | Is thy burden hard and heavy? |
8534 | Is thy cruse of comfort wasting? |
8534 | July 4_ Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? |
8534 | July 7_ The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? |
8534 | June 10_ Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? |
8534 | June 23_ Why art than cast down, O my soul? |
8534 | June 8_ Who hath despised the day of small things_? |
8534 | Know I what way my course is bending? |
8534 | Let us lift up our hearts and ask,"Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?" |
8534 | May 5_ If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? |
8534 | Never delay To do the duty which the hour brings, Whether it be in great or smaller things; For who doth know What he shall do the coming day? |
8534 | November 30_ Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
8534 | November 9_ Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above? |
8534 | Now, Lord, what wait I for? |
8534 | O God, what offering shall I give To Thee, the Lord of earth and skies? |
8534 | O Heavens, is it, in very deed, He then that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me? |
8534 | O child, hast thou fallen? |
8534 | October 17_ Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? |
8534 | Oh, ask not thou, How shall I bear The burden of to- morrow? |
8534 | Oh, how shall I, most gracious Lord, This mark of true perfection find? |
8534 | Oh, my friend, look not_ out_ at what stands in the way; what if it look dreadfully as a lion, is not the Lord stronger than the mountains of prey? |
8534 | Oh, my soul, why art thou vexed? |
8534 | Or how the thorns and scourging brook, Who shrinkest from a scornful look? |
8534 | September 15_ Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? |
8534 | September 30_ Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? |
8534 | Shall anything hurt us? |
8534 | Shall not the heart which has received so much, trust the Power by which it lives? |
8534 | Shall they forget us because they are"made perfect"? |
8534 | Shall they love us the less because they now have power to love us more? |
8534 | So here hath been dawning another blue day; Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away? |
8534 | So, whether on the hill- tops high and fair I dwell, or in the sunless valleys, where The shadows lie, what matter? |
8534 | Still heavy is thy heart? |
8534 | Still sink thy spirits down? |
8534 | Supposing that you were never to be set free from such trials, what would you do? |
8534 | Take Thy hand, and fears grow still; Behold Thy face, and doubts remove; Who would not yield his wavering will To perfect Truth and boundless Love? |
8534 | That Thy great love should shelter me, And guide my steps so tenderly Through every changing day? |
8534 | Thou knowest what is best; And who but Thee, O God, hath power to know? |
8534 | To whom? |
8534 | Unhappy am I, because this has happened to me? |
8534 | Was I not girded for the battle- field? |
8534 | What can come amiss to a soul which is so in accord with God? |
8534 | What can cross your will, when it is one with His will, on which all creation hangs, round which all things revolve? |
8534 | What can harm thee, when all must first touch God, within whom thou hast enclosed thyself? |
8534 | What can make so much as one jarring tone in all its harmony? |
8534 | What channel needs our faith, except the eyes? |
8534 | What duties have I left undone? |
8534 | What had she done? |
8534 | What have I done that''s worth the doing? |
8534 | What have I learnt where''er I''ve been, From all I''ve heard, from all I''ve seen? |
8534 | What have I sought that I should shun? |
8534 | What heart can comprehend Thy name, Or, searching, find Thee out? |
8534 | What if the wicked nature, which is as a sea casting out mire and dirt, rage against thee? |
8534 | What is Nature? |
8534 | What is fulness of joy but_ peace_? |
8534 | What is it that makes us unable to persevere? |
8534 | What is the thing that lies nearest to me?" |
8534 | What know I more that''s worth the knowing? |
8534 | What matter how miserable one is, if one can do that? |
8534 | What shall be our reward for loving our neighbor as ourselves in this life? |
8534 | What was the secret of such a one''s power? |
8534 | When did we ever set ourselves sincerely to any work according to the will of God, and fail for want of strength? |
8534 | When the shore is gained, who will heed the toil and the storm? |
8534 | When thou hast thanked thy God For every blessing sent, What time will then remain For murmurs or lament? |
8534 | Where then is_ our_ God? |
8534 | Which of us feels or knows that he wants peace? |
8534 | Who art thou that complainest of thy life of toil? |
8534 | Who hath created these things-- that bringeth out their host by number? |
8534 | Why go about to grieve and to despair? |
8534 | Why is it that we are so busy with the future? |
8534 | Why make a real calamity of it by resistance? |
8534 | Why seek it afar forever, When it can not be lifted away? |
8534 | Why should I start at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul? |
8534 | Why should I vex myself because another hath vexed me? |
8534 | Why should we desire to meet difficulties prematurely, when we have neither strength nor light as yet provided for them? |
8534 | Why shouldst them fill to- day with sorrow About to- morrow, My heart? |
8534 | Why weep now through thy Future''s eyes, and bear In vain to- day to- morrow''s load of care?" |
8534 | Will not the same love which prompts you to give a good, prompt you to keep back an evil, thing? |
8534 | Will then this which has happened prevent thee from being just, magnanimous, temperate, prudent, secure against inconsiderate opinions and falsehood? |
8534 | Would you know the blessing of all blessings? |
8534 | Wouldst Thou have me serve Thee in the lowest ministries of Thy house? |
8534 | You are surprised at your imperfections-- why? |
8534 | _ There be many that say, Who will show us any good? |
8534 | _ Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? |
8534 | _ Who can understand his errors? |
8534 | _ Who_ is it that is your shepherd? |
8534 | _ Why are ye so fearful? |
8534 | _ Why dost thou judge thy brother? |
8534 | and why art thou disquieted in me? |
8534 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
8534 | hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? |
8534 | how many of_ you_ are content with_ such_ faithfulness as this on the part of your heavenly Father? |
8534 | if a little pain overcomes us, how could we endure a cross? |
8534 | in what sorrow lose yourself in His"more exceeding"joy? |
8534 | my way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?" |
8534 | or did His faithfulness ever fail in the sorest, blackest, thickest, darkest night that ever befell thee? |
8534 | or did any abide in His fear, and was forsaken? |
8534 | what am I, that all Thy mercies sweet like sunlight fall So constant o''er my way? |
8534 | whether we have slavish fears, or are possessed of that perfect love which casteth out all fear that hath torment? |
8534 | who shall dwell in Thy holy hill? |
8534 | why by passing clouds oppressed, Should vexing thoughts distract thy breast? |
44053 | After all,they say,"what are the ills of life, that we should make so much ado? |
44053 | Are not ye much better than they? |
44053 | How about my children? 44053 How about the prosperity of the cause of Christ in the world? |
44053 | Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? |
44053 | My Christian work-- what about that? 44053 Take no thought,"no anxious thought,"saying, What shall we eat? |
44053 | What about my religious future? 44053 What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
44053 | What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? 44053 What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? |
44053 | What must I do to be saved? |
44053 | What of death-- my own death? 44053 What will the future be? |
44053 | When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? 44053 Where is boasting, then? |
44053 | Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
44053 | Who is he that condemneth? 44053 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
44053 | All nature is occupied in the successful attempt to answer the initial question,"What shall we eat? |
44053 | And how can we be conformed to a world of which we know nothing?" |
44053 | And how does the great Teacher speak to the careworn in these verses? |
44053 | And if it be, why recommend that which must follow in the due course of things?" |
44053 | And if so, what will become of all the plans and projects upon which I have expended so much thought and prayer and toil?" |
44053 | And now what ends does this sacrifice of Propitiation serve? |
44053 | And since we have received it, why should we boast as if it were all of our own making? |
44053 | And what to him was the very centre of Christian truth? |
44053 | And what was his experience? |
44053 | And what was the secret of it all? |
44053 | And what were the sufferings of these compared with those of Christ, who wept and bled and died, not for Himself, but for us? |
44053 | And who are sharing in it to- day? |
44053 | And who is our Substitute? |
44053 | And who, being a Christian, can refuse to be glad? |
44053 | And why? |
44053 | Are not these reasons enough? |
44053 | Are there no such cases now? |
44053 | Are they not sure to come? |
44053 | Are they spoken to the happy alone? |
44053 | Are we afraid it may fail? |
44053 | Are we right in the feeling? |
44053 | Are ye not much better than they?... |
44053 | Are you, or are you not, anxious to please God in any way which He may appoint and reveal to you? |
44053 | Ask a Christian child, or an aged saint,"What did Christ come on earth to do?" |
44053 | Ask, then, for faith, and God will say:"Wilt thou be made whole?" |
44053 | Besides, how could Paul recommend a rejoicing which is not"in the Lord,"which is the only rejoicing possible to the unbeliever? |
44053 | But again we ask, Whence could such a notion have sprung? |
44053 | But how can God deal with us in both these ways at one and the same time? |
44053 | But how did this come about? |
44053 | But how is this faith obtained? |
44053 | But how is this to be verified? |
44053 | But how? |
44053 | But how? |
44053 | But if you are, what then? |
44053 | But what is the conversion of a soul? |
44053 | But what, with such a gospel, would be man''s position? |
44053 | But why so? |
44053 | By what law? |
44053 | Can I so live as not to dishonour the Church and the cause of Christ?" |
44053 | Can he refuse when he sees Jesus on the cross, and knows what, for him, that spectacle means? |
44053 | Can_ we_ believe in Christ? |
44053 | Concessions? |
44053 | Deny the deductions? |
44053 | Did not his conduct to the apostles show, so far as the opportunity was given him, the fruits of faith in the various ways of grateful love? |
44053 | Do we lightly esteem His great love? |
44053 | Do we not see here one reason why men become cynical and misanthropic? |
44053 | Do you not already, under the gracious influence of the Holy Spirit, feel your need of Him? |
44053 | Does it follow that the sun does not enlighten, or that my mind does not receive impressions through what I see? |
44053 | Does it spring from error? |
44053 | Does not the very mention of it give rise to sad reflections in many hearts? |
44053 | Eternal Source of Life and Light, From whom my every blessing flows, How shall my lips extol aright The bounty that no measure knows? |
44053 | Grace begins where merit ends, if grace be given at all.--What, then,_ is_ the"great salvation"? |
44053 | Have the numberless generations which have been upon the earth gone to an inevitable doom? |
44053 | Have we fallen into no needless errors, no selfishness, no half- heartedness? |
44053 | Have we given nothing? |
44053 | Have we such a faith as this? |
44053 | Have we taken away all? |
44053 | Have we used such gifts as we have as nobly as we might? |
44053 | He does not ask, like"the young man in the gospel,""What good thing must I do that I may inherit eternal life?" |
44053 | He has only to ply you with his eternal"_ Why?_"_ Why_, because the universe exists, must it have ever been_ created_? |
44053 | He has only to ply you with his eternal"_ Why?_"_ Why_, because the universe exists, must it have ever been_ created_? |
44053 | Hence the question might be asked,"To whom are they addressed? |
44053 | Hence the short, sharp question-- the question which sprung from an inward agony--"What must I do to be saved?" |
44053 | How can he be saved? |
44053 | How can we be proud when we know that God has loved us, and that Christ has died for us? |
44053 | How did he know that Christ had ever seen this woman before? |
44053 | How do these thoughts bear upon the subject of importunity in prayer? |
44053 | How do we arrive at the conviction of the Fatherhood of God? |
44053 | How does Christ here speak of God? |
44053 | How does he describe the struggle? |
44053 | How does this subject strike us? |
44053 | How is it that we conceive a sudden repugnance to one, and at first sight fall in love with another? |
44053 | How is this? |
44053 | How is this? |
44053 | How many Christians are living a life of absorption in the world, yet harassed with occasional regrets, fears, desires, connected with better things? |
44053 | How many defects have we discovered in those whom we have implicitly trusted, when we have been brought into a closer acquaintance with them? |
44053 | How many have others discovered in us? |
44053 | How much more? |
44053 | How was the change wrought? |
44053 | How was this? |
44053 | How, then, does this fact of our unconscious influence touch the question of our responsibility? |
44053 | How? |
44053 | If I make a Christian profession, shall I be able to live consistently with it? |
44053 | If all be of"grace,"why insist upon"works"? |
44053 | If not how can we obtain it? |
44053 | If so, again I ask on what grounds? |
44053 | If we be not joyful, what does the fact mean? |
44053 | If we could hold the balance steadily, which would prove to be the preponderating scale? |
44053 | Imagine all these direct agencies to be suddenly and completely withdrawn-- what would then become of our poor world? |
44053 | In conclusion, how is this nonconformity to the world, in the spirit of a grateful consecration to God, to be attained? |
44053 | In what sense, and on what grounds, are we accountable for it? |
44053 | Is a heaven of holiness and of love too much for a being whom angels are delighted to protect? |
44053 | Is all this concurrent testimony to be set aside? |
44053 | Is all this influence outside the range of our responsibility? |
44053 | Is eternal life too much for a being whom the worlds combine to sustain, to feed, and to bless? |
44053 | Is it impossible for us so to engage in it as to find it spiritually helpful? |
44053 | Is it necessary?" |
44053 | Is it not like Simeon''s prediction that Christ would be for the"fall"as well as for the"rising"of many? |
44053 | Is it not like what Paul said of the gospel, that it is a"savour"both of"life unto life"and of"death unto death"? |
44053 | Is it not ten times as great as that which we bestow upon our Christian consistency, our religious usefulness, our growth in grace? |
44053 | Is it not the first, the necessary, the constant result of faith? |
44053 | Is it not unspiritual to take arguments for the comfort of our Christian life from lower things? |
44053 | Is it to be solved by the principle of mutual concession? |
44053 | Is not all this enough to humble a man? |
44053 | Is not such a condition a blessed one? |
44053 | Is not the"idle,"the vain, the worthless, at the worst, thereby negative? |
44053 | Is not this the kind of thing which is least amenable to a vigorous judgment? |
44053 | Is the religion that has given me joy and strength in health able to support me now?" |
44053 | Is there any doubt, then, as to our recognising them at the last? |
44053 | Is this life ours? |
44053 | Is your boasting heard no more? |
44053 | It is so; and why? |
44053 | It is thus that millions have said:"To whom can we go but unto Thee? |
44053 | It may be said,"What do we know of the spiritual world? |
44053 | It might be said,"Is not unworldliness of the very essence of the new life? |
44053 | May we not indulge this feeling without any suspicion that our prosperity may too much absorb and unspiritualise us? |
44053 | May we not with thankfulness leave them there? |
44053 | Millions, in that case, might justly look up to God and say,"Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast Thou made all men in vain?" |
44053 | Moreover why speak we of delay at all? |
44053 | Must not God give it? |
44053 | Must our daily work be a hindrance to us? |
44053 | Must they be suppressed when we speak to the sad or to the miserable?" |
44053 | Must we go to the irrational and inanimate creation for gospels of blessing for our spiritual need? |
44053 | Must we not feel that by death, they have made a glorious exchange? |
44053 | Must we, then, listlessly wait until it comes to us? |
44053 | No heaven? |
44053 | Now, if at this point the question be asked:"Are we responsible for this undesigned influence?" |
44053 | Of course his"What must I do?" |
44053 | Of works? |
44053 | Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? |
44053 | Or shall I be called away comparatively early? |
44053 | Or will they take evil ways; prove, like so many more, vicious, ungodly, and bring down my grey hairs in sorrow to the grave?" |
44053 | Others are suffering: why not we? |
44053 | Seest thou this woman? |
44053 | Shall I have grace enough to support me when the time comes?" |
44053 | Shall I have strength to resist temptation? |
44053 | Shall I live to be old? |
44053 | Shall it be said, then, that God will punish every transgressor? |
44053 | Showing His goodness in such a manner to objects inferior to man, why should man suspect that the same goodness will be denied to_ him_? |
44053 | Since God has done so much as this for you, what then? |
44053 | Such a life-- would it not be a terrible bondage? |
44053 | Such vigilance-- would it not take all our time, and absorb all our strength? |
44053 | Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?" |
44053 | The Jews, marvelling at Christ''s teaching in the temple, exclaim,"How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?" |
44053 | The conclusion is irresistible; the thing may be done-- but how? |
44053 | The first question for us is: Have we so learnt to know ourselves, or do we obstinately shut our eyes against God''s light? |
44053 | The imperative question is, not,"How is the thing done?" |
44053 | The language is peculiar; what does it mean? |
44053 | To what prophet could Simon point who was able to read the heart? |
44053 | Was he conscious of its shining? |
44053 | Was it not emphatically to sinners that they were sent? |
44053 | Was it so with Abraham, with Job, with David, with Paul, or with any of the others? |
44053 | Was not everything the earth contains made for our use and enjoyment, in measure increasing with every new discovery? |
44053 | We ask,"Does He come from God?" |
44053 | We have"received"them; and why, then, should we boast as if we had not received them, but were ourselves the creators of them? |
44053 | Were not all these in this man? |
44053 | What are the dimensions and outlines of it? |
44053 | What can it say to a soul weighed down by a sense of guilt? |
44053 | What does Paul himself understand by it? |
44053 | What does Paul mean by the expression,"that which I have committed unto Him"? |
44053 | What does that teach us? |
44053 | What greater gift could God have bestowed than that of His Divine Son? |
44053 | What greater proof of love could He have exhibited than that which this greatest of all possible gifts presents? |
44053 | What has prevented it? |
44053 | What have we to put in their place? |
44053 | What have we which we have not received? |
44053 | What if I should fall? |
44053 | What is faith? |
44053 | What is it, moreover, that_ connects_ the teaching of the Old Testament with that of the New? |
44053 | What is it, then, that the apostle has said in this epistle, and of which he intends, by this word"therefore,"to remind his readers? |
44053 | What is this faith? |
44053 | What may we know? |
44053 | What may we know? |
44053 | What must we learn concerning this from what is here revealed? |
44053 | What ordinary historian would think of narrating such a story as the one we have in the verses before us? |
44053 | What right have we to expect that His providence will be to us a providence of love? |
44053 | What should we become on our Tabor, if we were allowed to build our tabernacles there? |
44053 | What to any man when death draws nigh? |
44053 | What to the heart that is torn by calamity? |
44053 | What was it that gave Him this power? |
44053 | What, then, is the character of the prayer which avails? |
44053 | What, then, is the first point? |
44053 | What, then, is the nature of the consecration to which we are thus urged? |
44053 | When I am old, shall I be provided for? |
44053 | Where is it? |
44053 | Where is the man amongst us who would not rather die than have all his sins brought to light before his fellow- men? |
44053 | Wherein is its worth? |
44053 | Which shall it be? |
44053 | Who among the"prophets"ever stood aloof from sinners? |
44053 | Who among us can tell_ all_ the reasons why he believes in Christ? |
44053 | Who can not be sincere? |
44053 | Who can remain proud when he compares his own life with that? |
44053 | Who could study mathematics by beginning at the outset to dispute its axioms? |
44053 | Who does not know that sickness has often been sanctified to that end? |
44053 | Who is unable to set before himself the purpose of living up to the light he has in order that he may be in the surest position for receiving more? |
44053 | Who ventures to doubt it? |
44053 | Who will say,"This condition is too hard?" |
44053 | Who would not be a Christian? |
44053 | Who, then, has a right to complain? |
44053 | Why does Christ illustrate prayer to God by the pertinacity which is needful to arouse the affections of sinful man? |
44053 | Why may not the influence of the human will upon nature act through the medium of prayer to the great Author of nature, as well as in any other way? |
44053 | Why should it be doubted that an everlasting salvation has been provided for him through such a sacrifice as that of Christ? |
44053 | Why should it be doubted that man is an object of interest to angels, who are said to rejoice over every sinner that repenteth? |
44053 | Why should it not be so? |
44053 | Why should not every one be content to know the_ fact_? |
44053 | Why should religious faith decrease in proportion as human knowledge is accumulated? |
44053 | Why should we insist-- why should any one insist-- upon understanding the"_ why_"of this arrangement? |
44053 | Why should we not impose upon them the more difficult task of defending their position, by attacking it with all earnestness at every point? |
44053 | Why should we suspect that He will be indisposed to give us whatever may be needful for the existence thus created? |
44053 | Why specially insist upon it as a duty? |
44053 | Why urge it at all? |
44053 | Why? |
44053 | Why? |
44053 | Will He, by neglect, frustrate His own purpose? |
44053 | Will health and strength be continued to me according to my years?" |
44053 | Will his needs be overlooked, while theirs are supplied? |
44053 | Will it go steadily forward, or will new and fiercer foes rise up against it?" |
44053 | Will they grow up to be manful, good, godly; a seed to serve the Lord, and a generation to call Him blessed; my comfort, my pride? |
44053 | Will you-- not as a vague desire, but as the most earnest determination of your heart and will? |
44053 | With these provisions, then, shall we forecast the future with fear, or with hope? |
44053 | Would it not speedily lapse into a mournful, moral waste-- a training- school for present and everlasting perdition? |
44053 | Yet is it not evident that an inward holiness is the only thing that can be taught, and that without inward holiness there is no real holiness at all? |
44053 | _ Death in order to life!_ What can be the meaning and the bearing of a death which God has placed in so exalted a position? |
44053 | _ IMMORTALITY._"What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? |
44053 | _ Paul believed in Christ._ On what grounds? |
44053 | _ The confidence of faith._ The possible issues of our sickness are momentous, and the question comes:"Of what quality are my hopes? |
44053 | _ The heart of God yields to itself._ But how can this be? |
44053 | _ What faith?_ What was he trusting in? |
44053 | _ What faith?_ What was he trusting in? |
44053 | _ Why? |
44053 | _ Why_ are there no miracles now? |
44053 | _ Why_ are we bound to accept the teaching of the Bible? |
44053 | _ Why_ did Christ come so late in the history of the world? |
44053 | _ Why_ may it not have always existed? |
44053 | _ Why_ was it necessary that Christ should suffer to expiate our sins? |
44053 | and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" |
44053 | and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" |
44053 | and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" |
44053 | and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? |
44053 | and what communion hath light with darkness? |
44053 | and what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
44053 | and wherewithal shall we be clothed?" |
44053 | but,"_ Is_ it done?" |
44053 | or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? |
44053 | or, What shall we drink? |
44053 | or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? |
44053 | or,"How can the sufferings of the innocent atone for the sins of the guilty?" |
44053 | shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?... |
44053 | silent? |
44053 | what shall we drink? |
44053 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
15800 | But when is he coming back? |
15800 | Do you not finally come to know this material all by heart, so that it is old to you? |
15800 | Going to get any presents, do you think? |
15800 | Not ever? |
15800 | What makes you think so? |
15800 | Wo n''t God let him? |
15800 | _ When shall we learn that if we do our duty by the children there will be fewer adults left outside for the church to receive? 15800 25- 37:Who wanted to try Jesus? |
15800 | And can the teacher set up for attainment as definite aims as are offered the gunner? |
15800 | And if I can not reasonably hope to keep my class at the high- water mark of interest at all times, what shall I call an attainable standard? |
15800 | And, further:"Are my pupils developing a_ growing_ interest in religion? |
15800 | Another teacher asked,"Why did Jesus''s parents go up to Jerusalem when Jesus was twelve years old?" |
15800 | Any in which you feel that you are not very successful? |
15800 | Are the central truths of the lesson being brought out and applied? |
15800 | Are the children alert? |
15800 | Are the children interested in the right things? |
15800 | Are the children of your church school growing in this knowledge? |
15800 | Are the children of your class interested in keeping up the membership and attendance? |
15800 | Are the pupils in your class going to be able from the work of the church school to answer favorably these and similar questions? |
15800 | Are the standards too high for day- school teachers? |
15800 | Are their lives more pure and free from sin? |
15800 | Are there any particular ones who are less attentive than the rest? |
15800 | Are there many lessons that will involve several of the types? |

7038 | Are n''t you going to have some? |
7038 | Are you afraid of me? |
7038 | But if you can not walk, what are you going to do? |
7038 | Could you spare me a minute or two? |
7038 | Did I say that? |
7038 | Did you have a dream? |
7038 | Do you have the finances supplied? |
7038 | How do you know,I asked? |
7038 | I do not suppose you know me? |
7038 | Oh,she said,"You are one of them are you?" |
7038 | Since when? |
7038 | To what church do you belong? |
7038 | Well, then,said he,"how did you happen to come home?" |
7038 | Well,Jesus continued,"I made your ear in the first place and do n''t you think I can fix it?" |
7038 | Well,he thought,"what wo n''t boys do changing the road signs?" |
7038 | Well,she said,"are n''t you humble enough to tell them that you have no faith for yourself?" |
7038 | Well,we said,"you are coming to the services again?" |
7038 | What City? |
7038 | What denomination do you belong to? |
7038 | What is that? |
7038 | What was that? |
7038 | Who then? |
7038 | Why I do n''t know anything,he said,"What do you mean?" |
7038 | Why have you been weeping? |
7038 | Why, then,he said,"do you not ask the Lord for a message to preach down in the chapel?" |
7038 | Why,he said,"Do n''t you need it?" |
7038 | Will you kindly go with me to the front end of the ship and see if we can see any lights? 7038 Will you tell us that in your own tongue?" |
7038 | Yes,I replied,"but are they not your people?" |
7038 | Yes,said the other,"how could you tell?" |
7038 | You see she is not right with me in shaking her fist at my servant? |
7038 | ***** THE READING ON THE SIGN POST CHANGED(?) |
7038 | A 32nd degree Mason came to me and said,"Have you ever preached in a Masonic Hall?" |
7038 | A few minutes later a man came and sat down beside me and said,"Say, how do you get your expenses; do you get a salary for traveling around this way?" |
7038 | A little girl spoke up and said,"Do n''t you know me? |
7038 | After a few minutes she said,"Uncle Carl[ her brother] said to me,''Martha, why do n''t you take a rest? |
7038 | After a while he came and put his hand on my shoulder and said,"Swen, how does it come that you are here?" |
7038 | After being there for some time she took very sick, and she said to her daughter,"Will you send for the preacher?" |
7038 | After examining me he said,"Man, O man, what have you done? |
7038 | After taking the x- rays, the doctors asked me,"What do you think you have?" |
7038 | After the service that night Brother Ahrendt again asked,"Did you get your fur coat?" |
7038 | After the service the good pastor came to me and said,"Will you forgive me? |
7038 | After the service this woman''s sister came to me and said,"Do you know that my sister, Mary, is possessed with devils?" |
7038 | And Jesus said,"Is n''t he a blacksmith and does he not make sleighs? |
7038 | And,"he continued,"if he were to make one for you and you were to break it, would n''t he fix it for you?" |
7038 | Are n''t you afraid to go with him?" |
7038 | As we were going to our room between eleven and twelve, he asked,"Why did you not give the altar call tonight?" |
7038 | At the next year''s state camp meeting he came to me and said,"Can we go over into the timber?" |
7038 | Brother Knight said to him,"What are you doing here?" |
7038 | Brother Lane said,"Brother Susag, I stopped at Clinton, Iowa, and a sister said to me, are you going up to South Dakota and Minnesota? |
7038 | Brother Nelson said,"The Lord healed the boy, did n''t He?" |
7038 | Brother Sherwood? |
7038 | But he urged,"Wo n''t you come just a few days?" |
7038 | But would you please pray for her? |
7038 | Can you come?" |
7038 | Could you be our guest speaker?" |
7038 | Do you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and will you upon this faith be baptized?" |
7038 | Do you remember what Brother Dorrity said to you when you were ordained? |
7038 | Does the child understand anything that is said?" |
7038 | Finally he turned to me and said,"Are you a minister too?" |
7038 | Finally she stopped and faced her father and said,"Ca n''t I run, daddy?" |
7038 | Finally we got near his home, and in a little grove he stopped me again and he repeated,"Have you got grace enough?" |
7038 | Finally,"she said,"I got desperate about it and said to the Lord,''What''s the matter with me anyway; I can not get well and I can not die?'' |
7038 | He asked,"Tuberculosis of the spine?" |
7038 | He laughed and said,"Surely you are in bad fix; ca n''t you think of anything?" |
7038 | He looked at me and said in a harsh voice,"What do you want with the pilot?" |
7038 | He said as before,"Do you think so?" |
7038 | He said to me,"Do you know John Pederson?" |
7038 | He said to the merchant,"Are you trying to persuade Mr. Susag to go with you to Norway to fish?" |
7038 | He said, pointing ahead,"You see that three- mast schooner standing upon that rock?" |
7038 | He said,"Ca n''t I stay here?" |
7038 | He said,"Can I depend on you?" |
7038 | He said,"Do you think so?" |
7038 | He said,"Do you want to see him?" |
7038 | He said,"How come you are here?" |
7038 | He said,"How did you know?" |
7038 | He said,"I think so; what of it?" |
7038 | He said,"Who did then?" |
7038 | He said,"Who is going to take you?" |
7038 | He said,"Why do n''t you wear it this cold weather?" |
7038 | He said,"Why, Brother Susag, have you undressed? |
7038 | He said,"Would n''t it be good to have a little lunch now?" |
7038 | He then said,"My, my, had no one offered you a place to stay, and you are one of the evangelists?" |
7038 | How is my family?" |
7038 | How long a time do you want?" |
7038 | I answered,"Dear man, I do n''t know you, nor have I ever heard of you, what is your name?" |
7038 | I answered,"If I tell you how much I give, wo n''t it be fair for you folks to tell how much you give?" |
7038 | I answered,"Okay, what do you want to eat?" |
7038 | I asked her if Miss Gaulbright was still well? |
7038 | I asked him,"When did you lie to me, yesterday or today?" |
7038 | I asked,"Do you want me to send for one?" |
7038 | I asked,"Do you want them to close?" |
7038 | I asked,"Why do you believe it?" |
7038 | I caught my breath and said,"What did you say?" |
7038 | I heard someone say to his wife,"Marie, do you expect Morton to return?" |
7038 | I laughed to myself, but kept on driving and again the Lord said,"Why do n''t you get your pen; why do n''t you get your pen?" |
7038 | I looked at him and he said,"Do you know me?" |
7038 | I put out my hand and said,"My name is Susag, what is your name?" |
7038 | I raised my hands and said,"O Mama, you are not leaving me, are you?" |
7038 | I replied,"How can we expect to get eggs out here? |
7038 | I said to her,"When did you get your healing and start walking?" |
7038 | I said to him,"So you are the doctor who is going to set the bones in that arm?" |
7038 | I said to myself,"Are you stubborn? |
7038 | I said,"Amen, who are you?" |
7038 | I said,"Have you a pair of new trousers that will fit me?" |
7038 | I said,"How is that possible when I can not even get into the pulpit? |
7038 | I said,"Is that faith or presumption?" |
7038 | I said,"Thank you, that''s fine, brother; what was it I said?" |
7038 | I saluted the officer and handed him my papers After he had examined them thoroughly, he said to me,"Where were you born, Reverend?" |
7038 | I slapped him on the shoulder and said,"Henry, when did you get saved?" |
7038 | I then said,"Are you willing to throw out all your medicine bottles and never go back to them again, even if the pain should return?" |
7038 | I told her he was not going to die, but going to live, and she said,"Who said so?" |
7038 | I turned to the bird and said,"Did my heavenly Father send you from Minnesota to Denmark to sing for me when I was so troubled?" |
7038 | I walked up to the ticket window and said,"How come the train is so late?" |
7038 | I went to her and said,"What do you want, Sophie?" |
7038 | I will not tire you out with much talk, but would you let me read you a scripture lesson and pray with you?" |
7038 | I woke up about three o''clock in the morning, and as I stirred a little, Brother Ahrendt whispered,"Are you awake?" |
7038 | I wonder if you can help me?" |
7038 | In reply he asked,"Has Sister Hansen told you anything about us and our home?" |
7038 | In the evening the doctor called my son Clarence and said to him,"Shall I tell your dad what the matter is with him, or will you?" |
7038 | It is true, some was lost, but what would we have had today without it? |
7038 | Jerome, the oldest boy, seven years of age, said,"Uncle, are you going to bring Daddy home?" |
7038 | Many times the devil said to me,"So you thought the Lord sent you, did n''t you? |
7038 | Nelson said,"Is that all you are going to give us?" |
7038 | Next morning I went back and eight nurses met me and one said,"What did you do to that man yesterday? |
7038 | On arriving in the city, as I stepped off the train, a man came up to me and said,"Are you Brother Susag? |
7038 | On coming out I said,"Is there a street in the city of such a name,"stating the name the Lord had given me? |
7038 | On my arrival Brother Ahrendt said to me,"Have n''t you got a fur coat, Brother Susag?" |
7038 | On my arrival at the hospital when Sister Gaulke saw me, she said,"Of all the angels in heaven, how did you get here?" |
7038 | On returning to the agent for the third time, Brother Peterson said to him,"When will that train be ready for Hereford?" |
7038 | On the street in Hawick, I met a young brother who exclaimed when he saw me,"Oh, so you got our postal card?" |
7038 | On the way, he stopped me and said,"Have you got grace enough?" |
7038 | One day, Brother Nelson said to me,"What do you think is the trouble with us? |
7038 | One of the doctors standing by said,"How do you know fhat that looks good?" |
7038 | Out on the side walk we stood facing each other, one of us said,"Was n''t it too bad that we did n''t have another penny?" |
7038 | Pointing to me, he said,"Have n''t you got the message?" |
7038 | Several were saved, and do you know who preached for us? |
7038 | She asked,"How was the service?" |
7038 | She remarked,"This does not look very encouraging, does it?" |
7038 | She said,"Brother Susag, ca n''t I run?" |
7038 | She said,"Ca n''t I dress?" |
7038 | She said,"Do n''t you know me?" |
7038 | She said,"Where is Brother Susag?" |
7038 | So after asking the question the third time, he said,"Anna Marie, do n''t you answer?" |
7038 | So he explained,"My pastor is Brother----; What is your name?" |
7038 | Susag, will you accept an admonition from a younger man than yourself?" |
7038 | Susag? |
7038 | Susag?" |
7038 | That forenoon the teacher asked Sophie to read, and when she got up she said,"Sophie, have n''t you your glasses with you?" |
7038 | The Lord said to me,"Do you see that woman?" |
7038 | The Lord said,"Why do n''t you go and get your pen?" |
7038 | The Lord said,''That does not make any difference; how much was it?'' |
7038 | The captain looked at me and said,"What do you know about navigation, man?" |
7038 | The doctor asked,"What did you do, once a cancer but none now?" |
7038 | The father said,"Just a minute,"and then to his wife he said,"Is n''t the life of our child worth more than one hundred dollars?" |
7038 | The last Sunday night, to cap the climax, the children came around me and said,"Reverend, are n''t you going to close the services?" |
7038 | The minister came to this sister and said,"What is the name of the child?" |
7038 | The next time I was there he said,"There is no tuberculosis about him now; he is well, when did he have it?" |
7038 | The one remaining said to me,"What are you going to do?" |
7038 | The people laughed and said,"Do preachers believe in dreams?" |
7038 | The stewart came down and said,"Are n''t you in a hurry? |
7038 | Then I asked Brother Holman if we should close the services tonight, where shall we go if we continue them? |
7038 | Then I asked them,"What is your name?" |
7038 | Then I prayed the Lord for courage to ask him the price, so I said"What''s your price?" |
7038 | Then I said to the captain,"Is this the Tasso, that used to sail on Norway 24 years ago?" |
7038 | Then I said to the head pilot,"We are off the rock now, are we not?" |
7038 | Then I said, looking toward the camp grounds,"Do you see that tent over there? |
7038 | Then I said,"Is it true or not that the school house is to be closed?" |
7038 | Then I said,"You see me, do n''t you?" |
7038 | Then I ventured,"Have you looked at his back?" |
7038 | Then Mary said,''What did you do to get it?'' |
7038 | Then a sister came by and said,"Have you heard about Sister Johnson?" |
7038 | Then he added,"You did right, but what was the reason?" |
7038 | Then he said,"Brother Susag, what is the matter with you? |
7038 | Then he said,"But you got the telegram?" |
7038 | Then he said,"What is your name?" |
7038 | Then in surprise, she asked,"But did n''t you have the money in your possession? |
7038 | Then looking at me intently, pointing his finger at my heart, he said,"What do I see, a tiny spot?" |
7038 | Then she drew one of her hands from under the covers and said,"Do you believe that any flesh is ever coming to these hands?" |
7038 | Then she said,"Why do n''t you give us a message like that at home?" |
7038 | Then she said,"Why have I been blessed many times when reading this book?" |
7038 | Then she said,"You were praying for carfare, were n''t you?" |
7038 | Then the Lord said,''Do you know the Brother you intended to give some money before he went to Europe?'' |
7038 | Then the captain said,"What kind of a man are you?" |
7038 | Then the captain said,"What kind of a man are you?" |
7038 | Then the doctor said,"How would it be if I were to go with you?" |
7038 | Then the minister said,"Anna Marie, do you forsake the devil and all his works? |
7038 | Then they asked,"Who preached?" |
7038 | Then they said,"But what did you do? |
7038 | Then they said,"Will you preach it if the Lord gives you another message?" |
7038 | There were eight saints in the room and I heard one ask another,"How old is Grandma?" |
7038 | They called out in a chorus,"Henry, Henry, have you sworn off?" |
7038 | They said O. K. One evening the Lord said,"Now is the time,"so I said to Brother Monk,"Let me have a few minutes?" |
7038 | They said to me,"Do you know why the Lord changed your subject today?" |
7038 | They said,"Do you understand Latin?" |
7038 | They said,"What do we think?" |
7038 | They turned to the father and said,"Are you going to listen to us or to this old foggy preacher?" |
7038 | This discouraged me and I said to the Lord,"What shall I do?" |
7038 | Three sisters came to me in protest, and said,"You are not going to baptize that woman with all those rings on, are you?" |
7038 | To which I replied,"If I''m coveteous, I''m the one that ought to know it, so wo n''t you brethren, please help me out?" |
7038 | To which he answered,"Who said so?" |
7038 | To which he replied,"Sometimes we get into such a fix; do you suppose I could be of any help to you?" |
7038 | Tubbs going to deal with me? |
7038 | Tubbs was already outside the door of the house when the mother of the child said pleadingly,"Wo n''t you pray?" |
7038 | Was n''t it wonderful how the Lord restored Brother Krutz?" |
7038 | We went in to her room and I said to her"Martha, do you believe that God will heal you if we pray for you?" |
7038 | We wept and prayed and finally I said to him,"Morris, ca n''t you get out of bed and kneel down with me and pray?" |
7038 | Were n''t you then already on your way to Europe?" |
7038 | What about it?" |
7038 | What about this one; are you ready to meet your Maker in peace?" |
7038 | What do you need? |
7038 | What do you think of that?" |
7038 | What do you want him to do for you?" |
7038 | What do you want? |
7038 | What''s up, anyhow? |
7038 | What, dying? |
7038 | When I reached the door I thought I heard him say something and turned and said,"Beg your pardon, did you say something?" |
7038 | When I went to his house, his wife said,"What do you think about my husband?" |
7038 | When the meeting was over Brother Ahrendt said,"Did you get the fur coat?" |
7038 | When the service was over he came to me and in a very tired tone, he said,"Did you mean me this morning?" |
7038 | When they came Jerome said to them,"Wo n''t you pray like Uncle Swen does?" |
7038 | When we were leaving to go home, Brother Keutzer asked me how I was going to get home; was I going to walk? |
7038 | Where are we? |
7038 | While I was looking for a place to lie down and rest, a man came running toward me and said,"Do n''t you have a place to sleep?" |
7038 | Who is this? |
7038 | Why did you come home?" |
7038 | Why do n''t you come?" |
7038 | Why do you have to go?" |
7038 | Will you promise me never again to start out driving when the road is as bad as this?" |
7038 | Would it not be well for people to heed the warnings of God''s servants and His Spirit? |
7038 | Would you grant us that privilege here?" |
7038 | Yes, she said,"What is his address?" |
7038 | Yes, they knew him and why was I inquiring? |
7038 | Your wife sick? |
8699 | And was it more noisy than at Marbeeshoo? |
8699 | And what do you, want of Joshua? |
8699 | Are you allowed to use your own books? |
8699 | Are you willing? |
8699 | But have you not forsaken some of your church fasts? |
8699 | But have you not left the books of your fathers? |
8699 | But may it not be in that Bethel? |
8699 | But where is that other dear friend of our school[ Dr. Grant], who was the beautiful staff of her support? 8699 But why do you want to die?" |
8699 | Can you work, or have you become Ingleez? |
8699 | Could ye not watch with me one hour? |
8699 | Did it make much noise? |
8699 | Do these ladies let you see your friends? |
8699 | Do you fast? |
8699 | Do you not think that I too can pray? |
8699 | Do you pray, Heleneh? |
8699 | Has Miss Fiske taught you this? |
8699 | Have you finished? |
8699 | Have you had bad news? |
8699 | I have dreamed a dream, dear friends-- may I relate it? 8699 May I tell God just what is in my heart?" |
8699 | No, not very; why do you ask? |
8699 | Shall I remember you by this? |
8699 | Then I saw those whom I had led into sin and encouraged in unbelief, and said to them,''Can you forgive me?'' 8699 Was it deep and wide?" |
8699 | Was there much water in it? |
8699 | Were you at prayers? |
8699 | Were you late? |
8699 | What are we, that the Lord should choose us from the midst of such darkness, and send you to us with the message of life? 8699 What are your prayers?" |
8699 | What do we know? 8699 What do you do here?" |
8699 | What do you do when at home? |
8699 | What is it? |
8699 | What word of fitting love can I write, and how tell you what God has done? 8699 Why do you ask?" |
8699 | Why not go, then? |
8699 | Why, did you not enjoy it? |
8699 | Why? 8699 Will Christ sustain us to the last? |
8699 | Would your teachers allow you to fast? |
8699 | Yes,said Mr. Stocking,"but if the fires of hell could be out, you would not be troubled-- would you?" |
8699 | or that one? |
8699 | or that other? |
8699 | ''Are you sure that you have not forsaken him in all these years?'' |
8699 | ''Can no one help me? |
8699 | ''Can you not cry,"Lord, remember me,"like the dying malefactor?'' |
8699 | ''Can you not pray?'' |
8699 | ''Have you kept up secret prayer during all these years?'' |
8699 | ''How is it that I have not known it?'' |
8699 | ''How long have you thought so?'' |
8699 | ''Is it God''s fault, or yours?'' |
8699 | ''O Eli, Eli, why speak to her thus? |
8699 | ''O Lord, how long?'' |
8699 | ''Then you know some as Christians?'' |
8699 | ''What can I do in such distress?'' |
8699 | ''Why fear or sorrow, when Christ has overcome both death and sin?'' |
8699 | Am I not better to thee than ten sons?'' |
8699 | Among other things, she asked,"Is it true, that for one sin Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden?" |
8699 | And can we live?" |
8699 | And now, to whom shall I look to help me in this matter? |
8699 | And what shall we tell you of the wonders God showed us among those poor women? |
8699 | Are there other sisters of like faith, who believe in the only Mediator?'' |
8699 | As I listened in anguish, I cried aloud,''Is there no hope for me?'' |
8699 | As my weeping mother wiped the cold sweat from my brow, she gently whispered,''Where is my child going?'' |
8699 | As the blows fell thick and fast, he cried,"Must this come from my own father?" |
8699 | As they spoke of old friends, Yonan asked,"Heleneh, do you remember where our Lord was crucified?" |
8699 | At once his eyes filled, and he said,"You once helped me in a worse road; may I not now help you?" |
8699 | At one meeting in the Male Seminary, the young men burst into tears while singing the hymn,"Alas, and did my Saviour bleed?" |
8699 | At times, the anguish of some for sin was so overpowering, that the question,"Can a woman forget her sucking child?" |
8699 | Both were bright stars, but where is the people on whom they shone? |
8699 | But another said,"May I tell you alone?" |
8699 | But how? |
8699 | But if such houses were comfortless abodes for those in health, what were they for the sick? |
8699 | But we hear the voice of Eli:''How long wilt thou be drunken?'' |
8699 | But what shall I say of our poor people? |
8699 | But where shall we find them? |
8699 | But why? |
8699 | But would they be allowed to spend the night on the mission premises? |
8699 | Can I ever forget the fervent supplications and preaching of blessed Mr. Stocking, and how he begged us to flee from the wrath to come? |
8699 | Can I forget_ Calvary?_"as though grieved that he should think she could forget. |
8699 | Can I go and confess it to- night, and pray with her, and then may I go and work for money to replace them?" |
8699 | Can I see her?" |
8699 | Can we bear, dear sisters, to see the deadly wings of Satan''s kingdom spread out and destroy those bought by the precious blood of Christ? |
8699 | Can we forget her prayers with some of us the week she left us? |
8699 | Can we never again point her to Jesus?'' |
8699 | Can we not do something for souls? |
8699 | Can you do nothing for me?'' |
8699 | Could she open it? |
8699 | Did you ever see one that had wealth? |
8699 | Did you think that we would not love her? |
8699 | Do Christians in this country realize as they ought the connection between their prayers and the blessings bestowed on the opposite side of the globe? |
8699 | Do you inquire for the source of all this loveliness? |
8699 | Do you not wish to see me?'' |
8699 | Father, father, I am going; can you do nothing?'' |
8699 | For example: after reading the history of the creation( for she began at the beginning), she asked,"Who was the first man?" |
8699 | Grant?" |
8699 | Guwergis now cried out,''Women, where are you? |
8699 | Guwergis spoke up,''We have butter: what shall we cook in it for the bride?'' |
8699 | Has he left the least thing undone for you?'' |
8699 | Have you repented? |
8699 | He asks Hannah to go with him: not in a voice of harsh command, but in love he said,''Will you go?'' |
8699 | He said,''Why weep? |
8699 | He talks with my father, saying,"How can you give your daughter to the Papists? |
8699 | He was asked,"Have you and your wife chosen the good part?" |
8699 | His stripes, his anguish, his crucifixion,--were they not for you? |
8699 | How can I ever forget the first night that you met me, after the Lord had touched my heart, in that blessed room? |
8699 | How can I forget you? |
8699 | How can we sleep until forgiven?" |
8699 | How could they leave their Christian home, and the means of grace they had enjoyed so much? |
8699 | How do the daughters of the Oroomiah schools mourn, and their eyes run down with water, because Miss Fiske is far from them?'' |
8699 | How, then, could the Nestorians be induced to send their daughters to schools? |
8699 | I am a Demas; and with such agony now, what will be the wrath to come?'' |
8699 | I asked her,''Did you ever do any thing for your little girl that you remember now with gratitude?'' |
8699 | I asked her,''Do you pray with your children? |
8699 | I asked one,''What is the distance between you and God?'' |
8699 | I commenced:''Do you think yourself a Christian?'' |
8699 | I did not want to leave them, but I did ask, Can the image of Christ ever be reflected from such hearts? |
8699 | I earnestly pressed these questions: What do you think of yourself? |
8699 | I heard him ask,''How long shall those precious souls, redeemed by thy blood, be led astray? |
8699 | I said,''Are there any Christians in our village?'' |
8699 | I said,''Do you think you love the Saviour?'' |
8699 | I said,''Is this death-- that which we poor mortals fear?'' |
8699 | I said,''You have ever shown great love; can you not help me now?'' |
8699 | I then looked on another, noted for his wickedness, and said,''Beloved, did not Christ come for you? |
8699 | I turned to my mother:''There is no love like a mother''s; can that do nothing for me now?'' |
8699 | If Jonah mourned over the gourd for which he had not labored, how shall not you mourn after those for whom you have labored? |
8699 | If all were Christians, what might we not see? |
8699 | If but one of us reach that place, will you deem your labor in vain? |
8699 | If he is so bold here, what will he be in the mountains?" |
8699 | In a voice unlike all I ever heard before, he said,''Slayer of my Son, despiser of my grace, what hast thou done? |
8699 | In answer to the usual inquiry,"From whence do you come?" |
8699 | In short, on which side are you? |
8699 | Instantly a woman called out,"And have you heard those deceivers preach?" |
8699 | Is it strange that, as the slips of paper fell at her feet, her heart was moved? |
8699 | Is there another Miss Fiske in your country? |
8699 | Is there no ray of light for her in the darkness? |
8699 | It was a frequent remark,"We all lie here; do you think we could succeed in business without it?" |
8699 | May I give you one of the Master''s sermons? |
8699 | May I not fly on the wings of love, and destroy that city of blasphemy on the seven hills, that the glory may be thine?'' |
8699 | Miss Fiske would begin by saying,"Is not that a pretty name? |
8699 | Must I leave you all, forever? |
8699 | Must she see another face that night? |
8699 | My father then asked,''Do you suffer much''?'' |
8699 | My friends asked,''Has he no terrors for you?'' |
8699 | My poor mother interposed,''But are you willing to leave us?'' |
8699 | My teacher now cried,''We had hoped to see our dear pupil passing over to the new Jerusalem; but, instead of that, must she dwell among the lost?'' |
8699 | No one asked,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
8699 | No wonder she now inwardly exclaimed,"What hath God wrought? |
8699 | One came to Miss Fiske in great distress, saying,"Do you remember the day, two years ago, when Sawdee''s new shoes were taken from the door?" |
8699 | One day he came to the teachers, saying,"I have a petition to make; will you receive it?" |
8699 | One little girl said,"Did you ever see a new- born lamb cast into the snow and live? |
8699 | One of them wept bitterly when asked if she was willing to forsake every sin, saying,"What shall I do? |
8699 | Perhaps you will reply, in your cheerful way,''Do you feel so? |
8699 | Sanum and Sarah lingered behind the rest; and as they drew near, she asked,"Did you not understand me?" |
8699 | Shall I ever forget the Lord''s coming among us by the still rain of the Holy Spirit? |
8699 | Shall I never see your face again-- that face, which bore to us more than a mother''s love? |
8699 | Shall not such a woman be praised? |
8699 | Shall we come in and bathe your feet? |
8699 | Shall we ever find a better time than when so many are praying for us?" |
8699 | Shall we not also prepare the way of the Lord? |
8699 | Shall we not believe that the fruits of his labors have sprung up among us? |
8699 | She placed her hand in his, looked up in his face, and answered his''Is Christ become beautiful?'' |
8699 | She staid till a voice seemed to say, What doest thou here, Elijah? |
8699 | She took me from my horse, exclaiming,''Is it true that you have come? |
8699 | Should a voice come from the mountains to- day, calling for preachers, would they give their sons to go and save the lost? |
8699 | So, as many of them were strangers to the cleansing properties of water, they would ask again and again,"How do you make them so white?" |
8699 | Some might have cried out, when her fine intellect and rare acquirements were devoted to the missionary work,"Why is this waste of the ointment made?" |
8699 | Still no reply; but when they got near enough, they whispered,"May we have to- day to care for our souls?" |
8699 | Struck by the languor of her teacher''s looks, she inquired tenderly,"Are you very tired?" |
8699 | The catechist went on:"Have you seen the same river on the plain?" |
8699 | The disease made rapid progress, and again she said,"I am very sick; I shall die soon: shall we not pray together?" |
8699 | The leader could only ask,"Who will pray?" |
8699 | The next question was,"What does it mean?" |
8699 | The will of the Lord was her will, and what evil could befall her? |
8699 | Then did she not seek a corner of the court where she might pray? |
8699 | Then ought we not to mourn over this people, lost and fallen under the yoke of Satan? |
8699 | Then to whom shall I look, as the instrument to do this work? |
8699 | Then, shall we think no more of it? |
8699 | Then, where are they? |
8699 | Then, where is he? |
8699 | There was no time in which they did not cry, with tears,''What shall we do?'' |
8699 | They said,"Can we not have one more prayer meeting before you leave?" |
8699 | They would say,''What shall we do? |
8699 | Was it not like an angel''s? |
8699 | We find Yonan putting this question to a communicant:"Do you and M. live pleasantly together?" |
8699 | We have certainly received freely: have we given any thing? |
8699 | We have grown fat; and how long shall we lie under the quilts?'' |
8699 | What can we say to you, dear Mrs. Stoddard, who are shrouded in a cloud that is very dark? |
8699 | What could she do? |
8699 | What is your dependence for salvation? |
8699 | What meant this simultaneous movement to the mercy seat? |
8699 | What overcame this strong national prejudice? |
8699 | What shall I do? |
8699 | What shall I do? |
8699 | What shall we do? |
8699 | What was the matter? |
8699 | What were her feelings when she looked round on twenty- three, sitting with their heads bowed down in silence? |
8699 | What will become of you and me, who have sinned so often?" |
8699 | When shall I see him as he is, and be filled with his love?'' |
8699 | When she first came to Christ, her teacher was awakened one morning by her asking at the bedside,"Is it wrong to wish to die?" |
8699 | Who am I, that I should be raised from companionship with sin to the society of heaven? |
8699 | Who does not admire that grace which, in this missionary age, raised up such a type of piety to be diffused over the globe? |
8699 | Who will rise among us to carry forward the kingdom of our Christ? |
8699 | Why was she thus loved? |
8699 | Why were my associates, once, like me, children of wrath, now in heaven, while I was shut out? |
8699 | Why, then, treat him so ill? |
8699 | Will he be with us through the dark valley? |
8699 | Will he come for us and receive us to himself, as he promised?" |
8699 | Will our mothers follow the example of Hannah? |
8699 | Yet what shall this people do? |
8699 | and if separations are so trying here, what must be those of the last day? |
8699 | and on being told that it was so,"There,"said she, turning to the unconcerned neighbor, who had come with her,"do you hear that? |
8699 | and when shall I see my blessed Saviour?" |
8699 | and why eatest thou not? |
8699 | and why is thy heart grieved? |
8699 | and will you not send them to our little school?" |
8699 | are you sick?" |
8699 | from one who never remembered to have seen the light? |
8699 | or how many times you took me by the hand, and led me to the throne of grace? |
8699 | or how, when she took our hand for the last time, she said,''The blessing of the Lord rest upon you''? |
8699 | or those meetings of the sisters for prayer? |
8699 | or those tearful pleadings in the closets? |
8699 | or,"Who could endure a dish like that?''" |
8699 | saying,''Hannah, why weepest thou? |
8699 | twice in the week?" |
8699 | when shall I see him? |
18701 | ''Do you know where this quilt came from?'' 18701 ''Fraid of it? |
18701 | A Christian life, have you ever thought How much is in that name? 18701 Ah, Tom, are you awake?" |
18701 | Ah? 18701 Albert,"she said to him one evening,"do you know we ought to be laying up a little something?" |
18701 | Also against themselves? |
18701 | Am I in my own house, or somebody else''s? |
18701 | And do you know of one who wishes to occupy it? |
18701 | And do young men for whom you work really neglect to pay you? |
18701 | And does your mother work for one man all the time, little girl? |
18701 | And if we will supply you with food and fuel for a week, can you manage to get along until that time without more clothing? |
18701 | And right for you? |
18701 | And we shall have something good to eat, mamma, and something to make us warm? |
18701 | And which, Edward, afforded you the greater satisfaction, the Scriptures, or the credit you got for studying them? |
18701 | And who has released you from those same obligations and imposed them upon me? |
18701 | And wo n''t you smoke again? |
18701 | And you are only fifteen now? |
18701 | And you have spent your last month''s earnings? |
18701 | And you want the vacancy? |
18701 | And you, Walter? |
18701 | Anything wrong? |
18701 | Are they? |
18701 | Are you from the almshouse? |
18701 | Are you going to ride out this afternoon, Peyton? |
18701 | Are you not well Mary? |
18701 | Are you wild, Lucy? 18701 Bill?" |
18701 | But how are you getting along? |
18701 | But how did you keep along so well with your studies? |
18701 | But how''ll you raise the money? |
18701 | But how? |
18701 | But is there nothing more that can be done to save him? |
18701 | But what can we do with him? |
18701 | But when-- when-- shall we go? |
18701 | But where shall we go, my good wife? |
18701 | But why did n''t you call after her? |
18701 | But would n''t it look better of''em to begin some of their charities at home? 18701 But, mamma, please decide now, wo n''t you?" |
18701 | But,said Sam,"how are we to do it? |
18701 | But,said the stranger,"will not Mr. Merton wait another year, if you make all the circumstances known to him?" |
18701 | Ca n''t you borrow it? |
18701 | Ca n''t you let me have one or two dollars, Mr. Peyton? 18701 Ca n''t you let me have some money, Mr. Peyton? |
18701 | Can I know it before I die? |
18701 | Can ye find seats? 18701 Can you raise two thousand dollars?" |
18701 | Carrie? |
18701 | D''ye mean that? |
18701 | Dear child, what''s the matter? |
18701 | Did he also refuse to let you share in the expense of our excursion? |
18701 | Did he? |
18701 | Did she wear a striped shawl and a dark dress? |
18701 | Did you believe me? |
18701 | Did you ever read the Bible, sir? |
18701 | Did you put anything into the box? |
18701 | Did you then feel happy again? |
18701 | Do n''t I pay the minister two dollars every single year? |
18701 | Do n''t you know that bank mistakes are never corrected? 18701 Do n''t you remember me?" |
18701 | Do they mind it, Bridget? |
18701 | Do you ever visit such places, Henry? |
18701 | Do you feel better? |
18701 | Do you know the money you take across the bar is the same as taking the bread out of the mouths of the famishing? 18701 Do you remember Lucius Williams?" |
18701 | Do you remember what I said to you as you wept upon my neck? |
18701 | Do you still want Tiger, sir? |
18701 | Do you tell me that you have built a fence around my lot with weak places in it, and gaps in it? 18701 Do you think so, mother? |
18701 | Do you think so? |
18701 | Do you think there is hope, doctor? |
18701 | Do you want to? 18701 Do you?" |
18701 | Does n''t it say ten here? |
18701 | Doin to stay up here all''lone, g''anma? |
18701 | Eh, Tom, old boy, what''s up? |
18701 | Eh, Tom, what do you mean? |
18701 | Eleven? |
18701 | Gentlemen, will you smoke? |
18701 | Governor, why ca n''t I sell these herrings? 18701 Has n''t that old fellow gone yet?" |
18701 | Have you any bad news? |
18701 | Have you been running me in debt, Mary? |
18701 | Have you lost your character? |
18701 | Have you told them how very important it is that you should have the money? |
18701 | Have you, or has any one, told him of his real condition? |
18701 | Hearty!--and how are you, Freeman? |
18701 | Help me, sir? |
18701 | Here, Tim,he called, turning to the bar- keeper,"what''s our bill?" |
18701 | How can I be melancholy, Edward, when the Bible tells me that all these things are working together for my spiritual good? 18701 How did you get money enough to pay for a year''s board and tuition here?" |
18701 | How do you know it is you? 18701 How do you like it?" |
18701 | How is it now, Tom? |
18701 | How is that? |
18701 | How long before we get to Harrowtown? |
18701 | How long does he think I can live? |
18701 | How many commandments are there? |
18701 | How much is there lacking? |
18701 | How much will you take for the lot? |
18701 | How of equal value, Edward? |
18701 | How, father, how? |
18701 | How? |
18701 | I must have it, my boy? 18701 I say, what do you mean, sir?" |
18701 | I should like to do it,added Drake,"but what''s the use? |
18701 | I suppose you came because you saw my advertisement? |
18701 | I think I heard you tell Mr. Greenough that you had no money-- that you had paid out your last dollar this very afternoon? |
18701 | Is he badly hurt? |
18701 | Is he dead? |
18701 | Is it possible, sir, that you do not know how many commandments there are? 18701 Is it true what the lad says?" |
18701 | Is n''t he? 18701 Is not this a pretty place, uncle?" |
18701 | Is that a Bible, uncle? |
18701 | Is that right? |
18701 | Is that the rule? |
18701 | Is this really you, Mr. Bartol? 18701 Is this the house of Jacob Manfred?" |
18701 | It may hurt like a blow many sad hearts; but if it be true-- what then? |
18701 | It was a long way for you,he said,"Did you have a comfortable journey?" |
18701 | John, John, what does this mean? |
18701 | Like it pretty well, do you? |
18701 | Like it? 18701 Luke, do n''t you remember me?" |
18701 | Lyman? |
18701 | Madam,said the gentleman who gave her the money,"why do you come to a saloon? |
18701 | May I ask your reasons, mamma? |
18701 | Money? |
18701 | Mother, can you come down below a few minutes now? |
18701 | Must have a time once in awhile, eh? |
18701 | My child, what do you mean? |
18701 | My little girl,said I,"Is your name Taggard?" |
18701 | Not forsaken, Jacob? 18701 Peter,"said she, not in a pleasant mood,"why do n''t you send that miserable Tom Darcy home? |
18701 | Pray? |
18701 | Sam,said the owner of the machine- shop,"what were you and the rest of your party doing last Saturday afternoon?" |
18701 | Shall I correct the figures? |
18701 | Suppose I have n''t fifty dollars? |
18701 | Suppose we send you a dollar''s worth of other things, such as butter, flour, potatoes and the like-- could you live a week on it? |
18701 | Thanks, dear children? 18701 That you might ride out for nothing a little oftener, hey?" |
18701 | Then I''ll throw away my tobacco and beer; may I join at that? |
18701 | Then let''s commence back two weeks, eh? |
18701 | Then why are you_ here_ this morning? |
18701 | Then you had a Bible already? |
18701 | There''s something wrong,he said,"what can it be? |
18701 | There, do''ye see? |
18701 | Tiger, old fellow,cried Tom, trying to look fierce, though he could scarcely keep down the tears,"how came you to run away, sir?" |
18701 | To whom was this command given, Edward? |
18701 | Tom,cried the manufacturer, starting forward and grasping his hand,"are you in earnest? |
18701 | Was n''t there a committee of the church that visited old Israel last month? |
18701 | We are hardly doing right, are we,asked a rubicund- visaged man, who puffed away heartily"to smoke in the parlor? |
18701 | We are what, Jacob? |
18701 | We do n''t want a tree, do we, Maud? 18701 Well, Doctor, how long do you think he can live?" |
18701 | Well, what more do you want? 18701 Well, what was there so funny about all that?" |
18701 | Well,cried the organ- builder,"how went the lesson?" |
18701 | Wh-- what did you say boy? |
18701 | What ails my little girl? |
18701 | What are you doing here? |
18701 | What are you going to do about it? |
18701 | What are you going to do, Minnie? |
18701 | What are you sitting there for? |
18701 | What are your plans for the long vacation? |
18701 | What can this mean? |
18701 | What could have induced you,he asked,"to show us so much kindness?" |
18701 | What did he say to that? |
18701 | What did he tell you? 18701 What did the goods amount to?" |
18701 | What do you do in''meeting''? |
18701 | What do you mean? |
18701 | What do you want here, Sir? |
18701 | What is it, John? |
18701 | What is it, Susie? |
18701 | What is it, you provoking thing? 18701 What is it? |
18701 | What is the matter, Susie? |
18701 | What is this, my son? |
18701 | What shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
18701 | What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? |
18701 | What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 18701 What shall we do?" |
18701 | What, Linton, you do n''t smoke? |
18701 | What, is n''t this Harrowtown? |
18701 | What, my child, what is it? |
18701 | When are you going to get a camphene lamp? 18701 Where is Brother W.?" |
18701 | Where is the church? |
18701 | Who can be praying here? |
18701 | Who can be richer here than you? |
18701 | Who is it? |
18701 | Who paid for your ride yesterday? |
18701 | Who will weed the garden, and carry my vegetables to market? 18701 Who?" |
18701 | Why am I not happy? |
18701 | Why are you out of work and pay? |
18701 | Why did n''t you give it to him, mamma? |
18701 | Why do n''t you come to bed, Robert? |
18701 | Why do n''t you send him home? |
18701 | Why do n''t you smoke, Dalton? |
18701 | Why so, pet? |
18701 | Why so? |
18701 | Why so? |
18701 | Why yes,said the old man in great surprise,"but do_ you_ want to sell him?" |
18701 | Why, father, is this the way to become a Christian? |
18701 | Why, it''s absolutely driving her out of the house, is n''t it? |
18701 | Why, what else should I do with it, John? 18701 Why?" |
18701 | Why? |
18701 | Wilfred, what are company manners? |
18701 | Will it please your honors,he said,"to direct my prosecutor to come a little nearer, so that I can look at him and your honors at the same time?" |
18701 | Will my red brother drink some milk? |
18701 | Will we meet next Saturday? |
18701 | Will you not come to Jesus now? |
18701 | Williams? |
18701 | With my history in your possession, do you wonder that I was alarmed to- day when I saw you about to fall into the same trap? 18701 Yes-- there was,"answered Sam, giving his cigar an indignant shake;"and what did they do? |
18701 | You are not really going to church to- day, Clara, dear, cold as it is? |
18701 | You do n''t mean to say that you''ve spent it? |
18701 | You say it is full three miles to D----? |
18701 | You think he will buy the place, then? |
18701 | You want to be forgiven, do n''t you? |
18701 | You would think it wrong for me to be there? |
18701 | You? |
18701 | _ Why_ not? |
18701 | ''Did you never hear of the way?--never hear of Jesus?'' |
18701 | ''Died for my sins?'' |
18701 | ''Is that radin?'' |
18701 | ''Is that verse here?'' |
18701 | ''It is from my mother; shall you keep it?'' |
18701 | ''Shall I not write to your mother and tell her that her son, who was dead, is alive again; was lost, and is found?'' |
18701 | ''Sure, and what does it say?'' |
18701 | ''Will it not be too much trouble?'' |
18701 | ''Would you be willing to let me see it some time when it is convenient?'' |
18701 | ''You do n''t know her name, nor where it came from?'' |
18701 | ''You feel the Saviour''s love?'' |

18701 | A MOUNTAIN PRAYER MEETING"Will you go to meeting with me this afternoon, Mabel? |
18701 | A friend, who was passing by, said to the child,"Do you expect to get all that coal in with that little shovel?" |
18701 | A smile of pleasure passed over his face, as he quietly asked,--"What did the angel blot it out with? |
18701 | Ai nt you too?" |
18701 | And he_ really_ died for me? |
18701 | And how are we to get our thoughts so occupied by it, Edward?" |
18701 | And now could you tell me where Mr. Luke Conway''s place of business is?" |
18701 | And though you be down to death, what then? |
18701 | And where is Brother R.?" |
18701 | And where is Sister W.?" |
18701 | Anxious about what? |
18701 | Any taste for hams, herrings, tape, and shoe- strings?" |
18701 | Are n''t you sorry you ca n''t go?" |
18701 | Are such expressions as these likely to make us gloomy, Edward?" |
18701 | Are we sowing seeds to blossom? |
18701 | Are you going home with me?" |
18701 | Are you her boy?" |
18701 | Are you not mistaken about there being ten?" |
18701 | Are you satisfied?" |
18701 | Are you sure that there is n''t something else?" |
18701 | Are you the mere slave for your thoughts, compelled to follow as they, by some caprice, may direct? |
18701 | Arthur, what are your plans?" |
18701 | Before the still embarrassed brother and sister could make reply, some one asked:--"How came you to be detained so late? |
18701 | Boiled eggs, too, ai nt it, Ruth?" |
18701 | But are you sure you would not have done as they did, and been as unbelieving as they? |
18701 | But as I could no longer endure the agony of suspense, I at last inquired of the doctor,"Doctor, what do you think of my son''s case?" |
18701 | But can you defend such a position as this? |
18701 | But how would you propose for me to come to Christ?" |
18701 | But now, John, you wo n''t give up seeking until you get the blessing, will you? |
18701 | But praise her for what? |
18701 | But what interest can boys and girls and all older persons have in these cities? |
18701 | But what is it? |
18701 | But what was the deaf old man about? |
18701 | But what''ll I do with the herrings if yer do n''t want''em, and they wo n''t have''em?" |
18701 | But who cares? |
18701 | But why did you not come? |
18701 | But why do they call you Miss Levick?" |
18701 | Ca n''t I take him a little while?" |
18701 | Ca n''t some of you help her a little?" |
18701 | Ca n''t you believe the Bible?" |
18701 | Can I be, father?" |
18701 | Can I help it? |
18701 | Can it satisfy The longing and lonely hearts of men? |
18701 | Can you talk of hope now? |
18701 | Conductor, how shall I know when to get out? |
18701 | Could anything more graphically describe the progress of a young man, from the first cup of wine to the last? |
18701 | Could it be that these were to be the very articles that were to be worn at my Ellen''s wedding? |
18701 | Could it be the master? |
18701 | Could that terrible personage be confronted with an imperfect scale? |
18701 | DID YOU EVER THINK? |
18701 | Did you ever reflect how the tobacco habit levies its taxes on everybody? |
18701 | Did you ever think what this world would be If Christ had n''t come to save it? |
18701 | Did you ever think what this world would be If Christ had stayed in heaven,-- No home in bliss, no soul set free, No life, or sins forgiven? |
18701 | Did you ever think what this world would be With never a life hereafter? |
18701 | Did you observe the personal bearing of their parents toward them-- know their walk and conversation? |
18701 | Do n''t you know, man, that a fence must be perfect, or it is worthless?" |
18701 | Do n''t you think I''ll see you a Christian yet before I die?" |
18701 | Do tell me how I can get ready? |
18701 | Do we realize this? |
18701 | Do you begin to see, Edward, that the Bible is more suitable to be an every- day book than your profane history?" |
18701 | Do you ever sigh and disquiet your heart, Christian pilgrim, because God has not given you wealth and worldly ease? |
18701 | Do you suppose he has found out where Harrowtown is? |
18701 | Do you suppose he''ll ever leave it off?" |
18701 | Do you want any medicine?" |
18701 | Do you wonder we refuse to let you attend the party?" |
18701 | Does any one think that such a life, with such an object in view, was hard or cruel? |
18701 | Does he think I shall recover?" |
18701 | Fixing up this room, you know, and being so gentle like-- what can it mean unless he''s going to die?" |
18701 | For being sullen, and making your home the most disagreeable place in the world?" |
18701 | For did I not pay for spangles yesterday, and what was it that vexed Ellen but because she could not find anybody to sew them on when she returned? |
18701 | For me-- for me?" |
18701 | Foremost among the disappointed was a tall woman of a bitter tongue, who began vehemently,"Why have n''t I got any? |
18701 | Given it up lately? |
18701 | Had he ever told her of the satisfaction he had known, or the comfort experienced? |
18701 | Had heaven forsaken him, and given him over to the tender mercies of the wicked? |
18701 | Had those riches ever made him as happy as that old man looked to be over his poor meal? |
18701 | Has anything serious occurred at the institute?" |
18701 | Has n''t one been added somewhere else?" |
18701 | Have you been talking with the doctor about me?" |
18701 | Have you no power to determine what themes_ shall_ and what shall_ not_ employ your meditations? |
18701 | Have you not turned away in utter scornful unbelief, like the woman? |
18701 | Have you seen the lines--"''None but Jesus, none but Jesus, Can do helpless sinners good''? |
18701 | Have you taken the trouble to reply at all? |
18701 | He has sent to you the most loving and tender offers that even an almighty God could frame; and what have you replied? |
18701 | He jumped out of bed, saying,"Father, wo n''t you come and help me?" |
18701 | He rebelled against it; wanted to know"why God had done it?" |
18701 | How are you? |
18701 | How could he do that? |
18701 | How could you pass by a stranger so indifferently, Mrs. Greyson? |
18701 | How did he fall out?" |
18701 | How did you disguise yourself so well?" |
18701 | How is it with you, John?" |
18701 | How many are there, Charley? |
18701 | How many husbands are in a similar dilemma? |
18701 | How much do you suppose you spend each day for cigars and ale? |
18701 | How much is your salary?" |
18701 | How much salary have you fixed upon?" |
18701 | How was I to live without him? |
18701 | How weary of all endeavor, If the dead unnumbered, in land and sea, Would just sleep on forever? |
18701 | I guess you and Nick will come up real often, wo n''t you?" |
18701 | I''ve visits to make, and shopping to do, and embroidery to finish, how can I help the poor when I''m so pressed for time?" |
18701 | If this is discovered what will be the end of it? |
18701 | In a few moments more he said,--"Father, are you sure it is all wiped out?" |
18701 | In the evening, when the Scotchman came in from his work, the man said,"Well, Jock, is the fence built, and is it tight and strong?" |
18701 | In the silence that followed Mr. Carman spoke out:--"Is my character to be thus blasted on the word of a criminal, your honors? |
18701 | Is it any wonder that amid such home influences the boy did not show, as he advanced toward maturity, a high sense of honor? |
18701 | Is it really the old Tom?" |
18701 | Is it strange that the boy''s perception of right and wrong should be obscured? |
18701 | Is it too late, temperance men? |
18701 | Is n''t that it, my friend?" |
18701 | Is the chimney clear?" |
18701 | Is there a brother drifting on life''s ocean, Who might be saved if you but speak a word? |
18701 | Is this right?" |
18701 | It is n''t a proper place for a lady, and why are you driven to such a step?" |
18701 | It is n''t the fact that you''re hurt that counts, But only, HOW DID YOU TAKE IT? |
18701 | It is n''t the fact that you''re licked that counts, But, HOW did you fight, and WHY? |
18701 | It was a sensible conjecture; for why else should I follow on? |
18701 | It was quite dark when he stepped from the cars, and he inquired of a man at the station,"Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Aaron Harrington?" |
18701 | It was the complete answer to his question,"Praise her for what?" |
18701 | Last night your father and I had a long talk about the matter, and we agreed--""To let me go?" |
18701 | Levick?'' |
18701 | May I run over and see Cousin Sue off?" |
18701 | Merton?" |
18701 | Mr. Peyton owes me ten dollars and I can''t"--"Mr. Peyton? |
18701 | Mr. Randal, is this the boy who lied to you, and caused you to get out at the wrong station?" |
18701 | My God, how can it be That thou, who hast discerning love, Shouldst give that gift to me?" |
18701 | N----?" |
18701 | Now what d''ye think of that, eh?" |
18701 | Now will you inform me to what you owe your healthy, happy life?" |
18701 | Now, really, did not the drive to and from church do you more good than the sermon? |
18701 | O, why should we linger in sorrow, When its shadow is passing away,-- Or seek to encounter to- morrow, The blast that o''erswept us to- day? |
18701 | Oh, but was n''t it rich to see how scared he was when I waked him up? |
18701 | On the following morning he said to his wife,"Ellen, have you any coffee in the house?" |
18701 | Only cold and hunger are not kind helpmates, Mr. Hobbs, ye ken that, eh?" |
18701 | Possibly I looked the discouragement I was beginning to feel, for he added in a kindlier tone,''Are you good at taking a hint?'' |
18701 | Seriously, why should you be more polite to Mrs. Jones than to mamma? |
18701 | Shall I do so?" |
18701 | She had always made his home as comfortable as hands could make it, and had he offered the light return of praise or commendation? |
18701 | She said,''Are you Madam Gazin?'' |
18701 | Should the animated This great law invalidate? |
18701 | Sister W. lifted her hands in unfeigned astonishment, and exclaimed:--"Could any one believe it? |
18701 | Some, to be sure, there were who said,"Can the leopard change his spots?" |
18701 | Stepping up to the bar, and addressing the proprietor, she said:--"Sir, can you assist me? |
18701 | Surely the anchor ought to respect so excellent a chain, and not break away from it?'' |
18701 | Taggard?" |
18701 | That he should be mean and selfish and dishonest in little things? |
18701 | That he will not hang another Of such beauty on the line? |
18701 | That''s to put you foot on, you know; and, O say, ca n''t we play puss in the corner sometimes if we''re easy?" |
18701 | The child hesitated, and then looking at the stranger, near whom he sat, said innocently:--"How many are there?" |
18701 | The man thought for some moments, and said, as if in doubt,"Eleven, are there not?" |
18701 | The minister opened the services with a few fervent, simple words, and then said,"Brother----, will you lead in prayer?" |
18701 | Their unbelief cost them only a hungry stomach a little longer; but what may your unbelief cost you? |
18701 | Then I called out loudly also,"Will any one have some herrings for tea?" |
18701 | Then in a slightly agitated voice his wife inquired,--"Have you been successful in obtaining the money?" |
18701 | They all"would like,"but"where was the money to come from?" |
18701 | UNFORGOTTEN WORDS"Have you examined that bill, James?" |
18701 | Was n''t that right?" |
18701 | Was not Susie''s prayer answered? |
18701 | Was the condition of the former so much better than his own, that he would care to change places with him? |
18701 | Was there no one to offer a word of true counsel? |
18701 | Well, what of that? |
18701 | Were you in the homes of these young men from the beginning? |
18701 | What are a thousand dollars to me, or a thousand dollars to my well- to- do neighbor, compared with the ruin of a helpless fellow- man? |
18701 | What could I do? |
18701 | What did it signify what the world said about it? |
18701 | What harm can there be in it? |
18701 | What has made the difference? |
18701 | What if Mr. James did owe him a thousand dollars? |
18701 | What if he should lose the whole amount of this indebtedness? |
18701 | What is fame to love? |
18701 | What is it that gives to the plainest face The charm of the noblest beauty? |
18701 | What is it? |
18701 | What is the meaning of this?" |
18701 | What is the nature of it?" |
18701 | What is your name?" |
18701 | What more can a man do, even if he has all the religion in the world?" |
18701 | What right had that old man to thank God for bread and water, when_ he_ never thanked him for all his great possessions? |
18701 | What say you?" |
18701 | What say you?" |
18701 | What shall I do if my child becomes an habitual deceiver?" |
18701 | What shall I do?" |
18701 | What was I to teach my boy,--Christ and him crucified, or the doctrines I had tried to believe? |
18701 | What would he say? |
18701 | When I think of what my sins deserve, and see the Lamb of God bearing the chastisement that should fall on me, how can I be melancholy? |
18701 | When the past comes up before us, All our thoughts, our acts and deeds, Shall they glean for us fair roses, Or a harvest bear of weeds? |
18701 | Where are you going, if I may ask?" |
18701 | Where could he sleep?" |
18701 | Where did you get it?" |
18701 | Where now is all the bread you have cast upon the waters?" |
18701 | Where was the sustaining power of boasted philosophy in this hour of darkness? |
18701 | Where''s Carrie?" |
18701 | Which like you the best-- gamblers, drunkards, and thieves, or your mother? |
18701 | While the years are swiftly passing, As we watch them come and go, Do we realize the maxim, We must reap whate''er we sow? |
18701 | Who can help us? |
18701 | Who is there to help us now?" |
18701 | Who knows how much good they will do?'' |
18701 | Why do n''t they try to save poor old Israel Trask''s soul, and his wife''s too?" |
18701 | Why do n''t you tell us, so we can laugh too?" |
18701 | Why should God take one and not the other? |
18701 | Why was my fate so pitiless? |
18701 | Will that give you time to become acquainted with our service?" |
18701 | Will we always be youthful, and laughing and gay, Till the last dear companions drop smiling away? |
18701 | Will you not seek him when he may be found? |
18701 | Will you take the organist''s place this afternoon? |
18701 | Will you take your old place again?" |
18701 | With a sponge?" |
18701 | With great agitation he exclaimed,"Father, is that so? |
18701 | Wo n''t you forgive me?''" |
18701 | Wo n''t you go with me?" |
18701 | Wo n''t you stay at home and take care of me? |
18701 | Would he not laugh? |
18701 | Would she meet with such aid from him who was to be her future companion and protector? |
18701 | Would you have me choose for my companions those who treat you with neglect? |
18701 | Would you wish me to frequent places, whence I should return, careless and cold in my manner toward you? |
18701 | Yes, we are boys, always playing with tongue or with pen, And I sometimes have asked, shall we ever be men? |
18701 | You are beaten to the earth? |
18701 | You do n''t love her better?" |
18701 | You do n''t suppose that little thing will hold all my treasures, do you? |
18701 | You will go, will you not? |
18701 | Your mother do n''t mind my smoking-- do you, mother?" |
18701 | ai nt I as good as they? |
18701 | ai nt my children as hungry as theirs?" |
18701 | and a more solemn question is, What is the record they are making? |
18701 | and what do you see?" |
18701 | and what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
18701 | dear old dog, could you ever forgive me if I sold you?" |
18701 | exclaimed Mr. Bishop,"can that be true? |
18701 | he cried,"ai nt it, John?" |
18701 | he cried,"which is right, you or I?" |
18701 | how are you?" |
18701 | interrupted the captain,"place-- what do you or I or any one else know about any other place than this world? |
18701 | or ran away in fear, like the child? |
18701 | said Edward, as he seated himself beside him;"and do you not find the breeze from the water very refreshing?" |
18701 | smoothing her"front"and refolding her neckerchief,"has the minister come? |
18701 | soliloquized the tearful pupil,"wo n''t my father give it to you for this?" |
18701 | that He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, will with him also freely give us all things? |
18701 | what did I see? |
18701 | what is this? |
18701 | what''ll I do with''em?" |
18701 | where can I get it? |
18701 | you do not suppose that I am silly enough to believe the Bible, with its strange fish- stories, and unaccountable yarns about miracles, etc.?" |
54246 | ''Do you hear that, missis? 54246 ''Is Seraphine as comely as her brothers?'' |
54246 | ''Is she grown- up?'' 54246 He sprang up almost beside himself, and said:--''What should I say? |
54246 | How is it, then, that you did not understand any thing? |
54246 | How''s that? 54246 Of course I do,"he replied;"but do you imagine that I care for abuse? |
54246 | This man''s logic and style,say they,"are weak; how comes it that he is so attractive?" |
54246 | Toward noon, or one o''clock, he must go out, and asks himself: Where shall I go to- day? 54246 What are the lords?" |
54246 | What interest, then, have you in coming? |
54246 | What is it, then, my good friend? |
54246 | Why are you so proud of your fine clothes? 54246 --Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way?" |
54246 | --that is, Dost thou know how to save the souls of men? |
54246 | ... And do you know how one of this class passes his life who does not work? |
54246 | ... Are all these your children?'' |
54246 | ... Are not our pagans in France worth as much as the pagans of Oceania? |
54246 | ... Are these latter always prudent and conciliatory in their mode of procedure? |
54246 | ... Be persuaded that the world is tired of fine speeches; it wants actions: and of that demand, who can complain? |
54246 | ... Can you repel religion, can you repulse God himself, whom we are about to send to you this evening in the angelic form of a dearly loved child? |
54246 | ... Do you hear their reply?" |
54246 | ... Ethics also are learnt, and the solution of difficulties which occur at the confessional: but what if the people do not come to confession? |
54246 | ... Have not a few words often sufficed to revolutionize multitudes, and to produce an immense impression? |
54246 | ... How is it with us, whenever we have a strong desire for any thing? |
54246 | ... How, then, can I enjoy a moment''s happiness whilst knowing that he is wicked or wretched?" |
54246 | ... How, then, can we expect to make others believe what we do not seem to them to believe ourselves? |
54246 | ... Is a priest who is without zeal a priest at all? |
54246 | ... Is it not to that end that we have no family ties? |
54246 | ... Is there a country whose ambassadors have cognizance of such language, and not only retain their posts, but become ministers? |
54246 | ... Pray, can they be expected to persevere when thus left to their own resources? |
54246 | ... What truths can they lay hold of to resist themselves, to fill the void in their souls, to control themselves under the trials of life? |
54246 | ... What would be thought of a man who should converse in a similar way in a drawing- room? |
54246 | ... What, we ask again, is a youth to do with his affections under circumstances like these? |
54246 | ... Where, indeed, are we to look for men with a will? |
54246 | ... Why should it be troubled, knowing that it is secure in the Power on which it relies? |
54246 | ... Would you like us to go begging our bread? |
54246 | ... You, with all your religious knowledge, with all your acquired virtues, with all your experience and age, would you do so in their place? |
54246 | ..."Is Jesus Christ a mere man; or is he the Son of God?" |
54246 | A sharp working man, who had been listening to a sermon, was once asked--"What did the preacher say? |
54246 | All they shall speak and say unto thee: Art thou also become weak as we? |
54246 | Am I not endowed with reason? |
54246 | Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth? |
54246 | Am not I a man as well as he? |
54246 | And can we be happy while we see them wicked and miserable? |
54246 | And if pious and intelligent men are of that opinion, what must the masses think? |
54246 | And who have been the masters of this great French people? |
54246 | And why? |
54246 | And you would have me believe that this is the religion of Christ? |
54246 | And, besides, who knows but that it might subject them to the charge of being deficient in dignity? |
54246 | Apart from charity, what remains? |
54246 | Are not all a source of good to those who love? |
54246 | Are not our French little ones as deserving of compassion as Chinese children? |
54246 | Are not the people still children? |
54246 | Are not the people the most notable part of our family? |
54246 | Are not the two hundred millions of pernicious books scattered throughout France enough? |
54246 | Are reapers and hirelings called the hosts of those who pay them? |
54246 | Are there many Unbelievers in France? |
54246 | Are there many Unbelievers in France? |
54246 | Are they not the most delectable joys which earth can afford? |
54246 | Are they right in this, or are they to blame? |
54246 | Are we certain that we should find the same frankness and courage elsewhere? |
54246 | Are we ignorant of what a man is who is vicious, or ignorant, or passionate? |
54246 | Are we not all children still, in more than one respect? |
54246 | Are we not aware that they must banter or ridicule some one, even though it be a benefactor? |
54246 | Are we not still in the middle ages?" |
54246 | Art thou quite sure that thou lovest Me?" |
54246 | As to probity, fidelity, and discretion, where are they to be found? |
54246 | Ask you what it is? |
54246 | Ask:"Is it not true? |
54246 | Astronomy has changed; philosophy has changed; empire has changed; why are you always the same?'' |
54246 | Besides, we shall encounter opposition?" |
54246 | But do not we assist in driving them away? |
54246 | But do the masses trouble themselves about them? |
54246 | But do they entertain any such idea? |
54246 | But how should this zeal be carried out into practice? |
54246 | But is it so very difficult to be one''s self? |
54246 | But it will be objected: What can be said in ten or seven minutes? |
54246 | But it will be urged:"Where is the time to come from? |
54246 | But of what avail is it to succor the body, if the soul is neglected? |
54246 | But one is naturally endowed with great ingenuity; what need is there, then, for so much application? |
54246 | But what are the means which should be employed to bring the people nearer to the Gospel? |
54246 | But what if it be so, if the discourses are neither listened to nor understood? |
54246 | But what matters it by whom you are saved, provided that you are saved? |
54246 | But what would you say if a working- man, doing as you did by her mother, should seduce and dishonor the poor girl?'' |
54246 | But where is the seat of good and evil, and where are both elaborated? |
54246 | But who is to blame, ourselves or the faithful? |
54246 | But why should you expect them to understand us? |
54246 | But why this dread of being derided? |
54246 | By what means? |
54246 | Can I any the more blame my mother, or charge her with weakness-- my mother, whose influence over me is so strong? |
54246 | Can it be that we are ignorant of the French people? |
54246 | Can it, indeed, be that you are not of so much value as the souls of Chinese? |
54246 | Command or scold? |
54246 | Complaints are often made of our congregations; but have they not sometimes cause on their part to complain of their preachers? |
54246 | Did not Christ come to raise the fallen? |
54246 | Did not Saint Paul say:"I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ,"for the sake of his erring brethren? |
54246 | Do I fear exile? |
54246 | Do I fear the loss of goods? |
54246 | Do not be surprised, then, if something like the following dialogue should take place:"Well, sir, but who pays you for visiting us?" |
54246 | Do they acquire a permanent sway over the hearts of men? |
54246 | Do you ask who will make this principle popular? |
54246 | Do you hold them under the spell of your words? |
54246 | Do you know any one to whom the like has not happened? |
54246 | Do you know what that man resembles who lives without God and without hope? |
54246 | Do you know where you are? |
54246 | Do you possess their souls, together with your own? |
54246 | Do you really mean to throw me out of the window? |
54246 | Do you think it does not make me uncomfortable to see my wife and children miserable, and to know that I am the cause of their misery? |
54246 | Endowed with so goodly a portion, what have they to complain of; for is not dominion over mankind achieved thereby? |
54246 | Even we, with all our education, our science, the superior moral atmosphere which we breathe,--are we always blameless? |
54246 | For what is unbelief? |
54246 | For, after all, of what use is it? |
54246 | For, what do we often take for an orator or preacher? |
54246 | For, what is a man of genius? |
54246 | For, what is a priest? |
54246 | For, what is an apostle? |
54246 | Has he not, like them, preserved the tradition of his noble origin? |
54246 | Has it not already thrown blood and scum enough at humanity and religion? |
54246 | Has not the Press injured us enough already? |
54246 | Have they not already suffered enough? |
54246 | Have they not as much reason to murmur against and to upbraid us? |
54246 | He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he can not deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?" |
54246 | He will reply:--"How can I help it? |
54246 | Hence all strong admonitions should be tempered with such deprecations as these:--"Brethren, why am I constrained to tell you these stern truths? |
54246 | How can any one be led into such a delusion? |
54246 | How comes it that any town dares to be without one? |
54246 | How comes it that there are not associations of young apprentices in all the towns of France? |
54246 | How comes it, then, that we are deluded by such fine speeches? |
54246 | How could you attain it? |
54246 | How delivered from those endless sermons addressed to unbelievers? |
54246 | How, indeed, can any prevail against one in whom God is felt to dwell? |
54246 | How, then, are we to get rid of those preachers who are always taken up with unbelievers? |
54246 | I pray thee speak? |
54246 | If it be so, whose fault is it? |
54246 | If one speaks of a preacher, he is immediately asked:"Has he faith?" |
54246 | If sermons are not attended, whose fault is it? |
54246 | Ill- advised that I was, why did I suffer myself to be amused with talking to the serpent? |
54246 | Is AEschines the host, or the mercenary of Alexander? |
54246 | Is he capable of understanding you? |
54246 | Is he not a child of Adam, like the rest of mankind? |
54246 | Is it all theirs? |
54246 | Is it not the aim of Christian eloquence to win over the hearts of men, and to dispose them toward that which is good? |
54246 | Is it so, I ask, that we are called to"vulgarly follow the masses?" |
54246 | Is it surprising that they have not always yielded to such guidance? |
54246 | Is it their fault if the pernicious doctrines and scandals of the higher orders have stained the lower classes of society? |
54246 | Is life a desert wherein I am lost? |
54246 | Is not a priest''s life essentially a militant life? |
54246 | Is not long preaching very much like an attempt to surpass these men, who were so highly imbued with the spirit of Christianity? |
54246 | Is not such an one rather a mere man? |
54246 | Is not the blessed institution of the_ Propagation of the Faith_ the work of France? |
54246 | Is not the priest a soldier? |
54246 | Is not the society of Saint Vincent de Paul likewise the work of France? |
54246 | Is not the world sufficiently estranged from the Church already? |
54246 | Is not this to suggest the temptation that they too should become unbelievers, since, by so doing, they would be in so numerous and goodly a company? |
54246 | Is not, also, the_ Archiconfrérie_ for the return of sinners to the paternal home, the work of France? |
54246 | Is she not, indeed, the guardian of religion and virtue at the domestic hearth? |
54246 | Is that saying always realized amongst ourselves? |
54246 | Is that the most pressing business on hand? |
54246 | Is there a dearth? |
54246 | Is there any of you who would employ such an hereditary tailor? |
54246 | Is there no one to guide me? |
54246 | Is there stagnation in trade? |
54246 | It is constantly being repeated that society is unsound; then, should we not overlook some things in those who are ailing? |
54246 | Just as if a man who proposed to make you a coat should answer the question: Are you a tailor? |
54246 | Meanwhile, they are miserable; and being miserable are, as it were, doomed already: yet, what have they done to merit this? |
54246 | Men of Athens, what, then, is your opinion? |
54246 | Moreover, may there not still be a portion for the pastor, even from among the erring flock? |
54246 | Must we not become all things to all men? |
54246 | Must we not take them as they are? |
54246 | My father, the man whom I am bound to resemble most on earth, can I condemn him? |
54246 | Not always; and who can tell but that some thought has taken root in their minds which in time will bear fruit? |
54246 | Now, let me ask, are you aware of the enemies with whom you have to deal, and the difficulties which you have to contend against? |
54246 | Of what avail, then, is it to spend so many long years in study? |
54246 | On the other hand, why preach so long? |
54246 | One feels tempted on these occasions to ask the apologist:--"Are you a Christian?" |
54246 | Or, let us study the Gospel: do we find there any of these fine airs, this inflated and consequential tone? |
54246 | Ought we not to become little with the little, that we may save all? |
54246 | Say, would you inflict such torture upon us? |
54246 | Say, would you wish that? |
54246 | Shall I address you in the language of severity? |
54246 | Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? |
54246 | Shall I go to Madame So- and- so? |
54246 | Shall we continue any longer inactive at the sight of the torrents of vice and error which are hurrying our brothers on to the abyss? |
54246 | Should we be better than they if we had breathed the same pestiferous atmosphere? |
54246 | Surely you do not think that God troubles Himself about them; that He counts the number of tapers, or carpets, or chairs? |
54246 | Surely you heard him?" |
54246 | Surrounded as they have been with so many passions and prejudices, is it surprising that they are now insensible and mistrustful? |
54246 | Take away the accent of conviction from a sermon, divest it of energetic faith, and what is left thereof to the hearers? |
54246 | The rich class are charitable; but are they more so than the popular classes? |
54246 | Their estimate of them is founded on slander; how, then, can they have confidence in them? |
54246 | Then, again, might we not talk less about past heresies and errors, and be more taken up with the time present? |
54246 | Thenceforward, what can you expect him to effect, even among peasants, who have heard that fatal verdict? |
54246 | These are shortcomings on the part of the congregation, but are they wholly responsible for them? |
54246 | They are not rich; but what matters that? |
54246 | They are the only joys vouchsafed to us: and yet can we dare to complain? |
54246 | They may be rather exacting on that point: it may be a weakness on their part; but what is to be done? |
54246 | Thus the prophet Isaiah exposes the folly of idolatry in these words:--"Who hath formed a god or a graven image that is profitable for nothing? |
54246 | Thus, do not say:--"Does the soul die with the body or does it pass to another life?" |
54246 | To such reply:--"And why not? |
54246 | To what school have we sent them? |
54246 | Under its breath, the souls of men should dilate, blossom, as it were, and feel less unhappy; for is not the Gospel glad tidings? |
54246 | Undoubtedly, they have their faults, their frailties, and their vices; but are we not more blameworthy than they? |
54246 | Very true; but do the people examine? |
54246 | Very true; still we are bound to pay attention to the most essential requirements of our vocation: and should not preaching be of the number nowadays? |
54246 | Was it not proclaimed at the Nativity of Christ:--"I bring you glad tidings of great joy?" |
54246 | Was it not to that end that he bade adieu to the world and left his father and his mother in tears? |
54246 | We blame that tendency in others; but are we not somewhat bureaucratic ourselves? |
54246 | We complain that the faithful do not come to our sermons; have we made any such efforts as these? |
54246 | We have the philosophy of theology, the philosophy of the sacraments, the philosophy of the liturgy; and to what does it all tend? |
54246 | Well, when a young man awakens into life, what does he see around him? |
54246 | Were we not brought up at the same school? |
54246 | What a goose you are; wo n''t you answer? |
54246 | What am I to do? |
54246 | What are they to do in the midst of this conflict of affirmations and negations? |
54246 | What are we to do in consequence? |
54246 | What constitutes true Popularity? |
54246 | What constitutes true Popularity? |
54246 | What do we wait for? |
54246 | What do you remember of his sermon?" |
54246 | What does a good education mean, and of what use is it? |
54246 | What else can we expect? |
54246 | What else, indeed, could any do who love you, and also inspire love on your part? |
54246 | What has become of our great men, who trusted in man, who appealed to reason only, however exalted that reason may have been? |
54246 | What have we done? |
54246 | What is the good of it? |
54246 | What is the object? |
54246 | What masters have we given them? |
54246 | What must I become? |
54246 | What use is there in my listening to it again?" |
54246 | What would he do? |
54246 | What, then, am I to do? |
54246 | What, then, do you understand by being a Christian? |
54246 | What, then, have we come to? |
54246 | What, we ask, is a youth of eighteen, with all his besetting passions, to do in the midst of confusion like this? |
54246 | When the people look above them, do they always find good examples in the higher classes of society? |
54246 | Whenever you address them from the pulpit, is their attention riveted? |
54246 | Where are the masses who have clung to their good or evil fortune? |
54246 | Where is now their ascendency? |
54246 | Where is, then, the blessedness ye spake of? |
54246 | Where the devotion which they have kindled? |
54246 | Where, I should like to know, among other classes, will you hear the admission:--"I am misled; I am in the wrong?" |
54246 | Whereat Doctrine has come forth under the form of a feeble and decrepit septuagenarian, and has asked:--"''What do you want of me?'' |
54246 | Wherefore? |
54246 | Who hath done this?'' |
54246 | Who knows but that French wit, by one malicious word, may not upset all at once your elaborate structure of arguments? |
54246 | Who knows but that some, who have never been accustomed to work, will offer to aid in the building? |
54246 | Who, indeed, can be bold enough to hate it? |
54246 | Who, indeed, has not been deluged with compliments? |
54246 | Why did I not pluck out my eyes rather than look upon that which I was forbidden to know? |
54246 | Why did I not smite to death this scandalous bosom of mine? |
54246 | Why did he not speak a little longer? |
54246 | Why did she allow herself to be enticed?'' |
54246 | Why did we not burn it rather than be tempted to gather its fruit? |
54246 | Why did we not quit the earthly paradise, and flee to the end of the world to avoid the risk of so tremendous an evil? |
54246 | Why did we pluck of that tree? |
54246 | Why do you now wish to borrow a philosophy from Protestant Germany? |
54246 | Why do you still applaud me, even while I am making a law to prohibit the abuse? |
54246 | Why should we give ourselves so much trouble on their account?" |
54246 | Why should we take so much trouble in preparing sermons if they are not to be listened to? |
54246 | Why, then, are they not better understood? |
54246 | Why, then, attach so much importance to these matters? |
54246 | Will you not desist?" |
54246 | Would that be to have charity? |
54246 | Would that be to have faith? |
54246 | Would that be to love God and our neighbor? |
54246 | Would you do him good? |
54246 | Would you exert a divine power over them? |
54246 | Would you make an end of it? |
54246 | Yes, there has been no pity shown to the people; for has not the present age regarded Christianity as a delusion? |
54246 | Yet when Christ placed Saint Peter at the head of His Church, he did not put the question to him:--"Canst thou administer well?" |
54246 | You exclaim:"What has become of my model pastor, my saint?" |
54246 | You have crushed them, have you? |
54246 | You who are always talking about fraternity and charity; do you know what was taking place while you were beating your wife? |
54246 | You will aid me, will you not? |
54246 | You will often encounter obstacles, and even opprobrium; but what then? |
54246 | art them become like unto us? |
54246 | because I love you not? |
54246 | but,"Lovest thou Me? |
54246 | do their countenances beam, do their eyes glisten, or are they moistened with tears? |
54246 | do we not belong to the same family as those excellent and self- denying men who leave country and home to seek and to save souls beyond the ocean? |
54246 | does your light and disdainful tongue find a lesser mystery in all these consequences which necessarily result from your principles? |
54246 | how little art thou understood? |
54246 | how to devote thyself, how to die for their sakes? |
54246 | if the soul, the most sensitive and suffering part of mankind, is abandoned to endless misery? |
54246 | is it that all your struggles and trials are merely a foretaste of eternal misery? |
54246 | lovest thou Me? |
54246 | should coolly reply:--"Stop, there will be opposition; the enemy will resist and assail us with musketry and artillery?" |
54246 | what are you about? |
54246 | what do I hear and see? |
54246 | what do I hear and see? |
54246 | what have we to do with peace? |
54246 | what may not this people be led to believe? |
54246 | what topic is he going to discuss?" |
54246 | when shall we be brought to understand that the people do not reflect, that they look, listen, and then go forward? |
54246 | wherefore hast Thou placed me in the midst of such contradictions? |
54246 | which means: Does he appear to believe what he says? |
54246 | why are we so much startled and horrified when we hear such profanities? |
54246 | why did I not cut out my tongue when preachers told me that my oaths would damn me? |
54246 | would you subdue your passions, calm your impetuosity, be Christians, be virtuous?" |
54246 | you persist in maintaining that in seducing the woman at your side eighteen years ago you did nothing wrong?'' |
54246 | { 163} Hence a great part of our time is taken up with talking philosophy to pious men and women,--and after what fashion? |
54246 | { 179}''My beloved Abel, why speakest thou not? |
54246 | { 246} This speech has been eulogized as grand, bold, and even audacious; but, what does it amount to? |
54246 | { 52}"Why, my friend?" |
54246 | { 60} If so, they must be created forthwith; otherwise, what are we good for? |
54246 | { 61} He has, moreover his grain of vanity; why should he not? |
54246 | { 78} Does he always know the drift of his words? |
54246 | { 80} But, further, would you acquire an unlimited sway over the people? |
54246 | { 84} But, what are you doing here?" |
54246 | { 98} Even in prosperity, do they secure attachment? |
48100 | And lions? |
48100 | Did David kill Goliath with a stone or with a sword? |
48100 | Did they have bears? |
48100 | Elephants? |
48100 | Jane, what from the 24th verse? |
48100 | Lily, what from verse 25? |
48100 | Mary, what from the 23d verse? |
48100 | Monkeys? |
48100 | Was Goliath a wicked man? |
48100 | What are you putting it on for? |
48100 | What do you understand by faith and repentance? |
48100 | What is the matter? |
48100 | What kind of a man was David? |
48100 | What kind of a man was Goliath? |
48100 | What kind of a man was Moses? |
48100 | What was done to Jesus? |
48100 | When was Jesus led up to be tempted? |
48100 | Where''s your nosegay? |
48100 | Whither did the Spirit lead him? |
48100 | Who led him up? |
48100 | Will you tell me what is faith? |
48100 | _ Do you so love it?_Solomon said,"Remember now thy Creator." |
48100 | _ Do you?_David said,"Oh how love I thy law?" |
48100 | _ Do you?_David said,"Oh how love I thy law?" |
48100 | ''And what was the building called that was open, at that time, to receive the worshippers?'' |
48100 | ''And who may he be?'' |
48100 | ''And you, Bather?'' |
48100 | ''Are not some persons specially mentioned who came to the temple at that time?'' |
48100 | ''At what time of day?'' |
48100 | ''Bather,''says he,''when Mr. Homer has done with you, will you come up into my room? |
48100 | ''How many?'' |
48100 | ''Jack,''said I,''how many stupid boys have we got in our second class?'' |
48100 | ''What for?'' |
48100 | ''What were their names?'' |
48100 | ''Where did Peter and John go at the ninth hour?'' |
48100 | (_ A leper came to Jesus to be healed of his leprosy._) What does that teach you? |
48100 | (_ Jesus assured the leper of his willingness._) What does that teach you? |
48100 | (_ Jesus put forth his hand and only touched him._) What does that teach you? |
48100 | (_ Multitudes followed Jesus when he came down from the mountain._) What does that teach you? |
48100 | (_ The leper doubted the willingness of Christ to cure him._) What does that teach you? |
48100 | (_ The leper expressed his faith in Christ''s ability to cure him._) What does that teach you? |
48100 | (_ The leper worshipped Jesus._) What does that teach you? |
48100 | (_ The leprosy was immediately cleansed._) What does that teach you? |
48100 | 12. Who are to elect the superintendent? |
48100 | 13. Who appoints the teachers? |
48100 | A catechism lesson on the question,"What is sin?" |
48100 | After a thorough canvass of your whole field, then inquire what are the great wants and difficulties in our present Sabbath- school operations? |
48100 | After asking,"Since man is so miserable, what is to be done?" |
48100 | And Palestine is... What sort of a country? |
48100 | And finally Billy Jones, all eagerness,"Did they have a_ clown_?" |
48100 | And how? |
48100 | And then-- suppose the basin had been set behind the door, would that have done? |
48100 | And what city is this? |
48100 | And what does shedding their blood mean? |
48100 | And what must be sprinkled on the door? |
48100 | Another class of questions is very common, but well nigh useless, namely, leading questions, such as,"Was David a good man?" |
48100 | As they were going past him, Harry said,"Oh, he will not hurt us; let us stop; I wonder what he is crying for?" |
48100 | Ask the child simply,"With what did David kill Goliath?" |
48100 | At the fourth and last meeting of the month inquire, Is there any special religious interest in your class? |
48100 | At the next meeting inquire, Have you_ visited_ your scholars during the month, and what have you found of interest in your visits? |
48100 | But can these persons be reached and gained by the Sabbath- school? |
48100 | But how came the young lady to know of such a room? |
48100 | By whom was the man''s leprosy cleansed? |
48100 | Can any of you tell me how many Israelites or Jews there were in Egypt? |
48100 | Can any of you tell me the name of the country? |
48100 | Can you give them to me? |
48100 | Can you tell me any other names given to the hart? |
48100 | Can you tell me at what door Jesus knocks? |
48100 | Charlie,"_ Do you love to remember your Creator?_"or"_ Why not?_"etc. |
48100 | Charlie,"_ Do you love to remember your Creator?_"or"_ Why not?_"etc. |
48100 | Children, do_ you so long for_, and_ pant after_ God, the living God? |
48100 | Children, what do I hold in my hand? |
48100 | Could we have held out our hands and stopped it? |
48100 | Do our"lips teach knowledge?" |
48100 | Do we_ liken_ Bible truth to something with which our scholars are familiar, and thus help them to understand it? |
48100 | Do you approve of one uniform lesson for the whole school? |
48100 | Do you think the hart had drank of a brook before? |
48100 | Do you? |
48100 | Eternal life, what is it? |
48100 | For instance, all are requested to write upon the question, What is the great want of our Sabbath- schools? |
48100 | For instance:"Moses was a good man, was he not?" |
48100 | For what purpose do they seem to be met? |
48100 | From what did Jesus come down? |
48100 | From whom does God require true faith? |
48100 | From whom does God require true repentance? |
48100 | God''s people had been dwelling in Canaan; how did they come to be in Egypt, where we find them in our lesson? |
48100 | Had the boy taken it away? |
48100 | Had there been any death in those houses? |
48100 | Has the hart ever bathed in water brooks before? |
48100 | Have you come to it? |
48100 | Have you ever seen a dog walking in a very hot and dusty day, after having run a long way? |
48100 | Have you got it? |
48100 | Have you kept the law? |
48100 | He then directed the eyes of these scheming men to the coin, with this pointed question:"Whose is this image and superscription? |
48100 | He will ask himself the following questions:"Does any child leave me to- day with a clear, simple view of_ one truth_ of the gospel of Jesus Christ?" |
48100 | How can our great gatherings be made more_ useful_? |
48100 | How can the youth escape so great and powerful an enemy? |
48100 | How can we get the parents, pastors, etc., interested in the Sabbath- school? |
48100 | How can we imitate him? |
48100 | How can we obtain good teachers? |
48100 | How can you restore order in a disorderly class? |
48100 | How could that have happened? |
48100 | How do you get the atonement? |
48100 | How do you prove gratitude to God for it? |
48100 | How do you think I got here? |
48100 | How does he save from sin? |
48100 | How does the sun shine? |
48100 | How he got it? |
48100 | How is he prepared for the contest? |
48100 | How long ought a lesson to be? |
48100 | How many children are there in all our Sabbath- schools? |
48100 | How many circumstances are mentioned in this passage? |
48100 | How many for a penny? |
48100 | How many is that? |
48100 | How many of God''s commandments are we to obey? |
48100 | How many things are here stated with respect to faith? |
48100 | How many things are here stated with respect to obedience? |
48100 | How many things are here stated with respect to repentance? |
48100 | How much money should be expended annually on a large mission- school? |
48100 | How shall we retain young men and women? |
48100 | How work? |
48100 | I ask myself, What is in this passage? |
48100 | If I am here asked,"Do you know of any such superintendents as are here described?" |
48100 | If not, would it have panted and longed for it? |
48100 | If perfectly convicted, why so confident? |
48100 | If who would? |
48100 | In the afternoon she came back smiling, and the superintendent asked her,"Mary, where did you go this morning?" |
48100 | In the second place,_ How_ can our young men and women be reached? |
48100 | In this sad condition, therefore-- heated and..._ thirsty_, and running about,..._ panting_--how would the hart feel? |
48100 | In what state will the soil be? |
48100 | Is it a slow or quick moving animal? |
48100 | Is it anything inherent in these meetings? |
48100 | Is it best to reprove scholars or teachers in presence of the class or classes? |
48100 | Is it consistent for a Sabbath- school teacher to play at cards, dance, etc.? |
48100 | Is the hart spoken of in the psalm supposed to live in a warm or cold country, think you? |
48100 | Is there not danger that the Sabbath- school will induce a disrelish for the preaching service? |
48100 | It feels uneasy._ Why uneasy? |
48100 | Jesus shed his blood, That means the same as Jesus--_died_; yes; how? |
48100 | L- i- n- t- e- l; what does that spell? |

48100 | Now, if she ever slaps you again, or if the boy takes away James''s marbles again, are you to hit them and call them hard names, or to forgive them? |
48100 | Now, what does Jesus say to us? |
48100 | Of course I replied yes; and then"if it was wrong to take money for doing good on Sundays?" |
48100 | Of what had the hart drank before? |
48100 | One day, with a bright face, he asked me"if it was not right to do good on Sundays?" |
48100 | One plan is to raise the questions Who? |
48100 | Or if the question should be,"How to prepare a Bible lesson?" |

48100 | So here you are taught-- what? |

37794 | Earnestly contend? |
37794 | Even if he offer no plea, can you be utterly indifferent to his grief? |
37794 | Every thing else tested, why not Christian character? |
37794 | For, what is Christian character? |
37794 | Had Jesus deemed it a question of little consequence, think you he would have put it thrice in so searching a manner to St. Peter? |
37794 | Had Jesus desired to limit his salvation to a few unconditionally elected favorites, would he not have restricted the invitation? |
37794 | Had he remained indifferent to our helpless woes in the heavenly mansions, who could have impeached one of his perfections? |
37794 | Hard sayings are these to ears like yours? |
37794 | Has he not shut you, like Noah, into the ark of your salvation? |
37794 | Has our penitential humiliation been real and effectual, or only feigned and perfunctory? |
37794 | Have these thirty- six days in the holy mount deepened our communion with God and intensified our love of holiness? |
37794 | Have we borne fruit, or only leaves? |
37794 | Have we no loving compassions for them, no desire to rescue and save their souls alive? |
37794 | Have we not to- day the same gospel preached to us? |
37794 | Have we such hope? |
37794 | Have you never said with David--"I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; rivers of waters run down mine eyes because they keep not thy law"? |
37794 | Have you no sympathy, then, with the Prince of sufferers? |
37794 | He hath afflicted you, perhaps, on purpose to draw you to himself; and will you thus defeat the designs of his mercy? |
37794 | He is now challenging your affection, as Delilah challenged that of Samson:"How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me?" |
37794 | His better days what human art shall depict or finite mind conceive? |
37794 | His wife, the last on earth that ought to have been unkind to him, assailed him with bitter mockery; saying,"Dost thou still retain thine integrity? |
37794 | How can you love Christ, and not love Christians? |
37794 | How is it with you, dear brethren? |
37794 | How is it with you? |
37794 | How long halt you? |
37794 | How much worldly good is necessary for any of us? |
37794 | How shall we meet the reckoning? |
37794 | How, then, can the transgressor hope to pay the new and additional debt which he has incurred by innumerable crimes? |
37794 | How, without him, can we bear to live or dare to die? |
37794 | I have heard some honest Christians sing:"''Tis a point I long to know; Oft it causes anxious thought; Do I love the Lord or no? |
37794 | If David had such consciousness of sin, what must our consciousness be if we knew ourselves as well? |
37794 | If not, how can it be said that you love them as you love yourself? |
37794 | If not, how can you say,"We love him because he first loved us"? |
37794 | If we have no sense of the stroke, how shall we submit to the hand that smites us? |
37794 | If you love the Father, will you not love his children? |
37794 | If you love the Master, will you not love his servants? |
37794 | In all the eternity to come, what satisfaction can we offer for our faults? |
37794 | In all things, do you seek his pleasure, and rejoice to do his will? |
37794 | In comparison of our sins against God, what are our brother''s sins against us? |
37794 | In our present state, what idea can we form of the condition of the soul, and the mode of its subsistence, when dislodged from the body? |
37794 | In the crown that glitters in the hand of your Judge, is there not sufficient indemnity for all the agony of the conflict? |
37794 | In the immortal Christ we have a sufficient answer to the patriarch''s question--"If a man die, shall he live again?" |
37794 | In this grace, why should we not equal St. Paul? |
37794 | In what school, from what teacher, had he learned so great a lesson? |
37794 | Is he a pleasant child? |
37794 | Is he not the very friend we need? |
37794 | Is it not as true to- day, as it was when he said it, nearly nineteen centuries ago,"Without me ye can do nothing"? |
37794 | Is it not his word they speak, his claims they urge, his love they proclaim, and his salvation they offer? |
37794 | Is it not the high calling of every Christian? |
37794 | Is it your meat and drink to do his will, as it was his to do the will of his Father? |
37794 | Is my conduct, public and private, such as to put the matter beyond all doubt and controversy? |
37794 | Is not Christianity pre- eminently the religion of peace and love? |
37794 | Is not David''s rock your rock, your fortress, your high tower, and unfailing city of refuge? |
37794 | Is not every attribute of Jehovah in league with the devout believer, and all his infinite resources pledged to the support of his servants? |
37794 | Is not the gospel platform broad enough to afford room for all? |
37794 | Is not the loss of the former sufficient, without adding to it, by your immoderate grief, the infinitely greater loss of the latter? |
37794 | Is the Messiah at length come? |
37794 | Is the alien child enriched by adoption into the royal household, making him heir to the crown? |
37794 | Is the culprit enriched by pardon on the scaffold? |
37794 | Is the disinherited enriched by the restoration of his lost estate? |
37794 | Is the exile enriched by the edict that calls him home? |
37794 | Is the leper enriched by the cure of his foul disease? |
37794 | Is the prisoner enriched by the power that gives him freedom? |
37794 | Is the thought of him ineffably pleasing and joyful to your soul? |
37794 | Is the word of Christ the supreme law of your life? |
37794 | Is their interest as dear to you as your own, their reputation, and the salvation of their souls? |
37794 | Is there a glory in eloquence? |
37794 | Is there a glory in heroism? |
37794 | Is there a glory in letters? |
37794 | Is there a glory in philanthropy? |
37794 | Is there a glory in poetry? |
37794 | Is there a glory in royalty? |
37794 | Is there a glory in science? |
37794 | Is there a glory in the æsthetic arts? |
37794 | Is there nothing better than guns and bayonets? |
37794 | Is there one of us that has not sinned more deeply than David ever did? |
37794 | Is this the spirit of Him who prayed for those who were nailing him to the cross? |
37794 | Is this your experience? |
37794 | It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth? |
37794 | It is opposed to anxiety, which is always taking needless thought for the morrow, saying,"What shall we eat? |
37794 | May not every man hold his own opinion without assailing that of another man? |
37794 | May not the religious culture have been radically defective in its principle or culpably incomplete in its process? |
37794 | Merely an intellectual animal? |
37794 | Must we reject and oppose, as unsound or heretical, every thing that does not happen to fall within the limits of our own particular belief? |
37794 | Nay, do not many of us despise our own mercy, and reject the gracious counsel of God, not knowing the day of our visitation? |
37794 | Nay, what idea can we form of the natural body developing into the spiritual, and all its rudimental powers unfolding in their perfection? |
37794 | No such bond, what becomes of the Church, and what assurance has she of an eternal inheritance? |
37794 | No such memorial, where is the recognized bond, connecting the body on earth to its glorified Head in heaven? |
37794 | Nobler, not because the material is more precious, and the architecture more perfect; for what is a pile of brick to such a miracle in marble? |
37794 | Now, what is"the evil"from which Christ would have his people kept?--Sorrow? |
37794 | Ought not a common bond and a common condition to produce in them mutual kindness and sympathy? |
37794 | Overwhelmed with love and wonder, the saint exclaimed:"What shall I give thee, sweet child? |
37794 | Persecution? |
37794 | Poetry and philosophy have their charms; but what poetry is like that of the Holy Spirit, and what philosophy like that of redeeming love? |
37794 | Poverty? |
37794 | Presenting them with solemn benediction to the Father, does he not intimate to us the offering of his humanity to Heaven as a sacrifice for our sins? |
37794 | Sell the debtor, with his wife and children? |
37794 | Shall Jesus pray in vain for his redeemed? |
37794 | Shall Satan and his servants triumph over the grace of God? |
37794 | Shall all his labor be lost upon you? |
37794 | Shall he fail those who have committed their all to his advocacy? |
37794 | Shall not the master of the garden gather his own fruits, the commander of the army dispose of his own men? |
37794 | Shall souls over which seraphs have sung hallelujahs excite the mirth and mockery of fiends by their fall? |
37794 | Shall the fruit be blasted in the bud? |
37794 | Shall this precious thing perish through your faithlessness to so sublime a trust? |
37794 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
37794 | Shall we be like him who, having promised Mercury part of his nuts, ate the kernels himself, and gave the god the shells? |
37794 | So praying, the breath of the Holy Spirit will soon blow the spark into flame; and when the Master asks once more,"Lovest thou me?" |
37794 | Some drink themselves to death, and others grieve themselves to death; who shall pronounce the former more criminal than the latter? |
37794 | Taking the bread and the cup, does he not remind us of his having taken our flesh and blood? |
37794 | Temptation? |
37794 | The agony of such a situation how can we imagine? |
37794 | The apostle saith,"Is any among you afflicted? |
37794 | Then whither shall I go to meet my Lord? |
37794 | Think you any estimate of the number and enormity of our sins can be an exaggeration? |
37794 | Think you by unrighteousness to win the crown of righteousness? |
37794 | To achieve glory and honor? |
37794 | To acquire riches? |
37794 | To augment power? |
37794 | To expel enemies? |
37794 | To extend dominion? |
37794 | To gratify revenge? |
37794 | To liberate captives? |
37794 | To my question--"Was the soldier lying here your son?" |
37794 | To repel invasion? |
37794 | To secure commendation? |
37794 | To subjugate nations? |
37794 | To the rich, commonly, what is more terrible than poverty? |
37794 | To whom will you go for aid, if not to God? |
37794 | To whom, then, will you apply for help, but to your divine and all- sufficient Saviour? |
37794 | Truly loving your Monarch, can you fail to love your loyal fellow- subjects? |
37794 | Trusting in him who thus pleads for his disciples, and seconding his gracious intercession with our own supplications, what have we to fear? |
37794 | Was it not Jehovah in the waters of the Jordan, that cured the leprosy of Naaman the Syrian? |
37794 | Was it not the angel in the waters of Bethesda, that gave them their healing virtue? |
37794 | Was not holy obedience the tenor and tendency of his life? |
37794 | Was there ever a more ingenuous confession, a more thorough contrition, a more profound humility, or a more utter self- despair? |
37794 | What Christian soul does not respond to the sweet words of Milton? |
37794 | What are riches, culture, power, splendor, without his love? |
37794 | What benefit has he ever received from your virtue? |
37794 | What can avail to shake me from my trust? |
37794 | What can it bring you but present trouble and future regret? |
37794 | What can our poor human friends do for us in the hour of death? |
37794 | What claim have you on him? |
37794 | What claim have you upon him for happiness? |
37794 | What could worlds of such friends do for us in the day of judgment? |
37794 | What evil agency or influence shall harm those who"dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty?" |
37794 | What is it then? |
37794 | What is man? |
37794 | What is the end and aim of the gospel ministry? |
37794 | What is the strategy of generals and the prowess of armies, to him"who rideth upon the heavens in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky"? |
37794 | What is your life, and what control has any man over his destiny? |
37794 | What meant he? |
37794 | What more at variance with the prevalent ideas of the day? |
37794 | What nobler theme could occupy our thoughts? |
37794 | What obligation pressed or necessity impelled the Saviour? |
37794 | What proof give you, then, of your love to the brethren? |
37794 | What returns shall we make, or how express our gratitude? |
37794 | What saint of Jesus does not thrill to the eloquent strain of Edward Irving? |
37794 | What saith the holy apostle? |
37794 | What saw he in this revolted province of his boundless empire, that he should come to seek and save the self- destroyed? |
37794 | What service have you ever done him? |
37794 | What shall we do, or whither turn, for safety? |
37794 | What value do we set upon the faith which we are not willing to defend-- which we attempt not to teach to the world? |
37794 | What will you do when the ground dissolves beneath you, and the atmosphere around you becomes flame? |
37794 | What, then, are the conditions on which such intimacy of the soul with Christ is to be established? |
37794 | What, then, is this faith? |
37794 | What, then, is to be done? |
37794 | When St. Peter asked--"How oft shall my brother trespass against me, and I forgive him? |
37794 | When we have given ourselves, what else can we withhold from him who gave all his wealth to enrich us, and has enriched us most by giving us himself? |
37794 | When will you seek the throne of grace, if not in time of trouble? |
37794 | Whence this necessity? |
37794 | Where is his love for man, or his loyalty to Christ, who says nothing, does nothing, gives nothing, for the diffusion of this heavenly light? |
37794 | Where will you find comfort, if not in his love? |
37794 | Where, then, is the proper limit, and when does sorrow become excessive, and therefore sinful? |
37794 | Whereunto shall I liken it, or with what comparison shall it be compared? |
37794 | While we contemplate it, hear we not a voice from the excellent glory bidding us take off the shoes from our feet? |
37794 | Who dreams now of warfare in the cause of Christian truth? |
37794 | Who ever more truly loved God, or more honestly sought to serve him? |
37794 | Who has any fear of God, any love of country, any affection for his children, any regard for the welfare of posterity? |
37794 | Who hath not lost a friend? |
37794 | Who hath not sat in the shadow of the tomb? |
37794 | Who here is not athirst? |
37794 | Who is this, sitting on a block of travertine, with a tablet on his knee, a stylus in his hand, and a little ewer- shaped lamp at his side? |
37794 | Who of all this assembly would, by the acknowledgment of so flagrant an impiety, write himself down with the reprobate? |
37794 | Who says the apostolic office, with its high prerogatives and awful responsibilities, was intended only for a season, and has long since passed away? |
37794 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
37794 | Who shall sing the raptures of an eternal eucharist? |
37794 | Who shall tell the privileges of a celestial priesthood? |
37794 | Who solicited his aid, or repented of his own sin? |
37794 | Who talks of change? |
37794 | Who will presume to question this statement? |
37794 | Who will want him but Satan? |
37794 | Who would frankly confess so base an ingratitude? |
37794 | Who would not quit the scene of toil and strife and danger for the regions of eternal blessedness and peace? |
37794 | Why disquiet yourselves in vain? |
37794 | Why do so many sincere Christians seem often melancholy and unhappy? |
37794 | Why do you hesitate? |
37794 | Why is not the Christian life a perpetual joy? |
37794 | Why should a"wise master- builder"hesitate to connect religion with science and literature in the edification and adornment of the soul? |
37794 | Why, then, should not the believer in Jesus rejoice evermore with joy unspeakable and full of glory? |
37794 | Will God leave to the lion and the wolf the sheep for whom the divine Shepherd cares so lovingly and pleads so earnestly? |
37794 | Will he not hide them in the hollow of his hand, and guard them as the apple of his eye? |
37794 | Will my love bear the ordeal of a faithful and impartial scrutiny? |
37794 | Will not he who clothes the lilies and feeds the sparrows regard your necessities, O ye of little faith? |
37794 | Will not the Father hear the petitions offered in the name of the Son with whom he is ever well pleased? |
37794 | Will not the Good Shepherd provide for his confiding sheep? |
37794 | Will not their meditation of him always be sweet? |
37794 | Will you refuse to pray when prayer is most necessary for you? |
37794 | Will you relish the less the fruit that is left, because some of it was blighted by untimely frost? |
37794 | Will you respond to the appeal? |
37794 | Will you turn your back upon him when you need him most? |
37794 | With a few exceptions of unbelief so blasphemous as to shock ordinary irreligion, are all men truly his friends? |
37794 | With hearty faith, and grateful tears, and earnest obedience? |
37794 | With regard to any undecided course of action, you will not ask,"How will this please others?" |
37794 | Without Christ, what were our knowledge but ignorance, our wisdom but folly, our eloquence but noise? |
37794 | Ye who now like Lazarus have your evil things on earth, will you not hereafter with Lazarus be comforted in Abraham''s bosom? |
37794 | You have plenty of martial courage; where is your moral courage? |
37794 | Your enemies may threaten, but has he not conquered them and nailed them to his cross? |
37794 | Your hopes may perish upon the very verge of victory: what soldier of wisdom ever left the field without the spoils of a vanquished foe? |
37794 | Your time, money, knowledge, influence-- how can they be better employed than in the Christian culture of the young immortals committed to your care? |
37794 | [ 2] What does he mean? |
37794 | and what are the finest bronzes and marbles to the living statuary with which we are peopling her palaces? |
37794 | and wherewithal shall we be clothed?" |
37794 | and who shall ever speak of purple robes and jewelled crowns, that has once beheld the immortal beauty of the humblest saint in heaven? |
37794 | and why and how must we contend for it? |
37794 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
37794 | but,"How will it please Christ?" |
37794 | do you not dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and abide under the shadow of the Almighty? |
37794 | for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee"? |
37794 | four hundred and ninety times? |
37794 | how much wealth, honor, happiness? |
37794 | is it not a blessed touch? |
37794 | is it not enough to make their guardian angels turn away their faces and weep beneath their wings? |
37794 | is it so? |
37794 | is it so? |
37794 | know ye not that your treasures will decay, your glories wither, and all the delights of sense perish with the world? |
37794 | on what mountain shall I stand to see my Saviour?" |
37794 | or where is the American builder that would dream of competing with Giotto? |
37794 | shall it not be answered? |
37794 | shall it not be fulfilled? |
37794 | to greet the Redeemer in his glory-- who that loves him does not leap for joy at the expectation? |
37794 | until seven times?" |
37794 | was ever pain-- Was ever love-- like thine?" |
37794 | what is poverty to you who are to inherit all things-- heirs of God and joint- heirs with Jesus Christ? |
37794 | what our profession but an imposture, our ritual but a solemn farce, and all our zeal but painted fire? |
37794 | what outward enemy is too strong for you-- what duty too arduous-- what ordeal too severe? |
37794 | what shall we drink? |
37794 | what sublimer privilege invest the saints in light? |
37794 | when conscience presents the long catalogue of uncancelled crimes, and only a few moments of wasted life remain, what can the dying sinner do? |
37794 | where sleep our energies? |
37794 | where slumber the holy fires within our hearts? |
37794 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
37794 | why cumbereth it the ground?" |
37794 | why not rather the whole Christian character? |
4952 | Brother,he said to Bice,"are we dying?" |
4952 | How are you, my friends? |
4952 | They never stop singing there, sir, do they? |
4952 | What do you doubt-- God''s power and love, or your own weakness? |
4952 | What, not to rescue that village from starvation? 4952 Where do you find it?" |
4952 | Who wishes to send you away, U--? 4952 Why,"might it be said,"do you, as a clergyman find a difficulty where Mr. H. finds none? |
4952 | & c.?" |
4952 | ''"Afraid of what?" |
4952 | ''"Are you? |
4952 | ''"But Tagalana, if I should die, you used to say that without my help you should perhaps fall back again: is that true?" |
4952 | ''"But was it like one of our dreams?" |
4952 | ''"But what did He in His wisdom choose to do?" |
4952 | ''"But what is the greatest instance of all, the greatest proof to us that God chooses to declare His will through man to man?" |
4952 | ''"But will you think if I tell you about Him?" |
4952 | ''"Can they do this by themselves?" |
4952 | ''"Could He not have converted the whole world in a moment to the obedience of faith by some other way?" |
4952 | ''"Did He tell him Himself immediately?" |
4952 | ''"Did our Lord tell Saul all that he was to do?" |

4952 | ''"What do you think it is?" |
4952 | ''"What does Jesus Christ call us men?" |
4952 | ''"What has He forbidden? |

4952 | ''"What is very good, Walter?" |
4952 | ''"What means did the Lord employ to make His will known to Saul?" |
4952 | ''"What means did the Lord use to tell Saul what he was to do?" |
4952 | ''"What means does God employ to make His will known to us?" |
4952 | ''"Who is our Mediator?" |

4952 | ''A little brandy?'' |
4952 | ''And can not we have a missionary?'' |
4952 | ''And now what is to come? |
4952 | ''And now what will the next few days bring forth? |

4952 | ''Taroniara, from San Cristoval, said to me the other night,"Bishop, why is it that now I think as I never thought before? |
4952 | ''That time has come in the good Providence of God, in answer to His all- prevailing Intercession, and hastened( who can doubt it?) |
4952 | ''The argument with those who would listen was: What good comes of all this? |

4952 | And if they were not friendly, what business have you with your bows and arrows? |
4952 | And if this be so with good respectable folk among ourselves, what must be the effect of altered circumstances on our Melanesians? |
4952 | And is it always the blind admiration at which outsiders smile; is it not rather indifference which is blind, and love which sees the truth? |
4952 | And observe, what should I be without some such change pressing on me? |
4952 | And so, where do I hear of men who have so many comforts, so great immunity from hardship and danger as we enjoy? |
4952 | And whence has it arisen? |

4952 | But from that time dear Bishop Patteson roused himself from his natural depression( for to whom could the loss be greater than to him?) |
4952 | But how can I be surprised at that? |
4952 | But how on Jowett''s system can we have positive teaching at all? |

4952 | But what am I? |
4952 | But what can we do? |
4952 | But what shall I say? |
4952 | But where are such men, and where is a tribe not already exasperated by injurious treatment? |
4952 | But where are we to look for the good effects of Republicanism? |
4952 | But who knows anything of me in England? |
4952 | But why attack error without positively inculcating truth? |
4952 | But why enter into details? |

4952 | Do you know, Fan, I almost feel that if I live a few years I ought to write a book, unless I can get the Primate to do it? |

4952 | Has he fairly looked at all the per contra? |
4952 | Has he taught you to clothe yourselves, build houses,& c.? |
4952 | Have you any in England? |
4952 | He dwelt on all with entire absence of excitement, and added:''But there, what right have I to stand in his way? |
4952 | He knew much more than I expected:"Who taught you all this? |
4952 | He says, If not for such as you, for whom did Christ die? |

4952 | How can he or she know better?" |
4952 | How can we supply teachers at the rate of one for every fifteen or twenty people? |
4952 | How could definite doctrines be instilled into the converts by teachers with hardly any books, and no formula to commit to memory? |
4952 | How could it be otherwise at such a time? |
4952 | How could they possibly know that I was not one of the wicked set? |

4952 | I do n''t see any results from our residence here; and why should I look for them? |
4952 | I expect a severe reproof from you, and pray do not send me any money, nor grant me the slightest[ favour?]. |
4952 | I feel as if this ought not in one sense to come upon you, but how can I venture to speak to you on such matters? |
4952 | I felt quite sure that prayers were being offered up for us in many places, and where more frequently than at Hursley? |
4952 | I find it a good plan to look on from short periods to short periods, and always ask, what next? |
4952 | I know that, and have known it for years; but how to do it, without neglecting the daily necessary work? |

4952 | Is it not right they should be taught as you have been?" |
4952 | Is not one continually struck with his keen sense of the proportion of things? |
4952 | Is not the right way to plant the true seed and nourish it that it may take root, and out- grow and choke the weeds? |

4952 | Is such conduct a repudiation of Christianity or not? |
4952 | Is the Christian community distinguished by any habits of social order and intercourse different from non- Christians? |

4952 | Men ca n''t live on it; and who can work vigorously with the thought ever present to him,"When I die, what of my wife and family?" |
4952 | Moreover, who can estimate the effect of this German and French war upon the social state of Europe? |
4952 | Most touching, is it not, this entire confidence? |

4952 | Nice, is it not? |
4952 | Of course an English person thinks,"Why did n''t he send the bread?" |
4952 | Or what? |
4952 | Perhaps he may be the very one that has been appropriated to some one, and what am I to say then? |
4952 | Poor poor people, who can see them and not desire to make known to them the words of life? |
4952 | Rather rich, is it not? |
4952 | Shall I ask Miss Yonge to give me a copy? |

4952 | Shall I find dear old Wadrokala and Harper alive, and if alive, well? |
4952 | Shall I give you a day at Kohimarama? |

4952 | Should I die before you die, would it be wrong for me to say,"Make the Melanesian Mission my heir"? |
4952 | Should not we be contented with success like His? |
4952 | Silence again; then Angadhohua asked:''Can not you stop always?'' |
4952 | So, after school, I called him to me, and putting him before my knees asked him some questions very kindly:"Did he know who God was? |

4952 | The younger people like excitement as much as our young men like hunting, fishing, shooting,& c. How can they get this? |
4952 | Then comes the thought, who is to carry this on? |
4952 | Then he continues:--''But now, do n''t you see, Fan, how good this is for me? |
4952 | There were[ accounts?] |
4952 | They are brought away under false pretences, else why tell lies to induce them to go on board? |
4952 | They are wild with excitement, not to hear"the good news,"but to hear how the trading went on:"How many axes did they sell? |

44769 | ''Her look was now wild and penetrating; and she exclaimed,''What, Sir, do you say, and shall I see my George ere long?'' 44769 ''Shall I request your Rector, Mr. Guion, to call?'' |
44769 | ''Then this earth still possesses some attractions?'' 44769 ''Then you think your son is still living, notwithstanding the report of his dangerous illness in the hospital at the Cape?'' |
44769 | ''You long to be gone, I have no doubt?'' 44769 And I suppose you are both happier than when you preferred working in the garden on the Sabbath to going to church?" |
44769 | And can not he pay a small account? |
44769 | And did I say what that one thing was? |
44769 | And do n''t you believe, Sir, in such omens? 44769 And do you consider this a trifling sum to owe one tradesman?" |
44769 | And do you now think that any other but virtuous people will ever be received into heaven? |
44769 | And do you think that the howling of the dog is a prognostic of your death, any more than the death of either of your servants? |
44769 | And does my dear Louisa then prefer the pleasures of religion to those of the world? |
44769 | And does my dear Miss Rawlins feel herself to be a sinner? |
44769 | And have you changed your opinion? 44769 And how does my dear mother sustain the blow?" |
44769 | And how have you decided it, Sir? |
44769 | And how old, Madam, was your grandmother when she died? |
44769 | And if, Madam, it be not an impertinent question, may I be permitted to inquire into the nature of your dream? |
44769 | And is He not immutable in his promises of mercy to those who_ wish_ to return? |
44769 | And is my father dead? |
44769 | And is my husband dead, Sir? |
44769 | And is not Charles Orme a man of probity and virtue? |
44769 | And it greatly affected me,said Mrs. Pickford;"it made me think of our long lost George; shall we ever see him again?" |
44769 | And she really did hear the dog howl some short time before her death? |

44769 | And why, Emma,here interposed Miss Holmes,"was it omitted? |
44769 | And why, my son,she remonstrated,"did you not let me know of your illness before now? |
44769 | And you are not weary of his service? |
44769 | Are you as good as you can be? |
44769 | Are you sure, Papa, that you are not misinformed? |
44769 | As it is so small, I suppose it is crowded on the Sunday? |
44769 | As this is a new discovery, will you tell me how you made it? |
44769 | As you have asked me a question, will you allow me to ask you one? |
44769 | But are you born again? |
44769 | But can you derive any mental ease from reflecting on a passage which denounces indignation and wrath? |
44769 | But did you not first lead me astray? 44769 But do you not think it possible for a female to attend a ball without having her breast inflated with vanity, or surcharged with envy?" |
44769 | But do you think, Mary, that every Christian exemplifies the correctness of your remarks? |
44769 | But do you wish the assembly- rooms deserted? 44769 But have you not, my dear Louisa,_ tasted_ that the Lord is gracious, as well as_ felt_ his terrors which have made you afraid? |
44769 | But have you,said Mr. Reed,"no wish to live?" |
44769 | But how can I pray, when I have no faith in prayer? 44769 But how can we give you up? |
44769 | But how do you expect this great and mysterious change to be brought about? |
44769 | But how is that? 44769 But how so?" |
44769 | But how so? |
44769 | But how will you reconcile such a tremendous state of things, with the acknowledged wisdom and beneficence of the Deity? |
44769 | But is man, at any period of his moral history, living in a state of death? 44769 But is not the Redeemer exalted to give repentance?" |
44769 | But is not the beauty of religion more attractive than its grandeur? |

44769 | But which is the greatest insult, to doubt his ability to save to the uttermost, or his willingness? 44769 But why are you silent, my son? |
44769 | But why ca n''t he derive his consolations from the religion of the Church of England? |
44769 | But why recriminate on me the guilt of your own sin? 44769 But why, my dear Mamma, should you fear it? |
44769 | But why, when it affords so much gratification? |
44769 | But why, when they display so much ingenuity, are so delightful, and have such a good moral tendency? |
44769 | But will He do it? |
44769 | But will you not admit that God_ can_ turn away his anger from you, and comfort you? |
44769 | But would you not tremble in anticipation of the success of such an effort? 44769 But you do not mean to say that these effects are invariably produced?" |
44769 | But, Henry, is He not still able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God by him; and have you sinned beyond his recovering grace? |
44769 | But, Madam, do you never expect to see another happy day? |
44769 | But, Sir,said Mr. Sykes,"what evil can result from giving a few pence to some poor miserable- looking boys and girls?" |
44769 | But,I asked,"may not a Christian leave the ministry of one preacher, to attend that of another, without sustaining or producing any moral injury?" |
44769 | But,I replied,"do you think it wrong to go and hear these ministers?" |
44769 | But,said Mrs. Lewellin,"what shall we do when you are taken from us? |
44769 | Can I see him? |
44769 | Come, ladies,one of them exclaimed,"where have you been rambling to all this time? |
44769 | Dear Sir, do you think he ever pays any attention to us, and such little things as a pleasure excursion? |
44769 | Do you ever feel weary of reading the parts of the Bible you have read before? |
44769 | Do you know him, Sir? |
44769 | Do you know how they got over the difficulties occasioned by the non- production of the register of their birth and baptism? |
44769 | Do you know what this new religion is? |
44769 | Do you think it is a confirmed consumption? |
44769 | Do you think it possible, Papa, that I could be so unwise or so undutiful as to take any important step without consulting you? |
44769 | Do you think that a longer continuance in the country will prove beneficial to the dear sufferer? |
44769 | Do you think, Sir, she can be removed without much inconvenience to herself? |
44769 | From what did you escape, Sir? |
44769 | Had he family prayer, the evening you refer to,_ before_ or_ after_ the games were introduced? |
44769 | Has she her fortune at her own command? |
44769 | Have you any money? |
44769 | Have you been ill long, Madam? |
44769 | Have you been to my homestead? |
44769 | Have you ever read the Bible, Madam? |
44769 | Have you ever thought much about the difficulty of getting into the right way which leads to heaven? 44769 Have you seen him since the fatal accident?" |
44769 | How did you happen again to meet with her? |
44769 | How in the world did he get them then? |
44769 | How long may it be since you first knew the Lord? |
44769 | How much is this small account? |
44769 | How often have you duty performed in it? |
44769 | How so, Madam? |
44769 | How so, my dear son? |
44769 | I can very easily forgive you, dear Miss Rawlins; but will you permit me to ask you why you did not reply? |
44769 | I presume he attends a place of worship? |
44769 | I presume, Sir, he is a man of prayer? |
44769 | I presume, Sir, he is a religious man? |
44769 | I see your curiosity is awakened; but can not you restrain it for a few hours, till you can coax your husband to gratify it? |
44769 | I suppose you wish to go to heaven when you die? |
44769 | I suppose, Farmer, you have thought sometimes during your confinement, about your departure from earth, to be with Christ? |
44769 | I suppose,here remarked Mrs. Lewellin,"the secession of two such gay devotees from the circle of fashion, occasioned some little tumult?" |
44769 | In what point, Sir? |
44769 | Is he living, Sir? 44769 Is it possible, Sir,"Mrs. Lewellin replied,"for us to lose such a pastor and such a friend without weeping?" |
44769 | Is she alive?--Has she spoken? |
44769 | Is this an illusion, or a reality? 44769 Is your disorder, then, of such a threatening character?" |
44769 | It did not, I suppose, fall on you? |
44769 | It is pretty good land, I believe, Farmer? |
44769 | Jane and I,said Miss Holmes, as they were all rising from the dinner table,"are going to see Mrs. Kent; will you accompany us, Emma?" |
44769 | Of what? |
44769 | One word, Charles,said his mother,"what are you going to do with Miss Collingwood?" |
44769 | Pray, Sir,said Mrs. Holmes,"what is your opinion?" |
44769 | Shall I explain it, Sir? |
44769 | Tell me, my dear child,said her father, taking her by the hand,"have you not already been induced to do so, and that by the persuasion of others?" |
44769 | The Psalmist says,''It hath been good for me that I have been afflicted;''and I suppose, Farmer, you can say the same? |
44769 | Then has my dear Louisa no dread of death? |
44769 | Then ought they not to have refused letting me learn to dance, if they intended to deny me the pleasure of it? 44769 Then they have not brought a new religion into the village?" |
44769 | Then you do n''t envy the rich and the noble? |
44769 | Then you do not murmur, or feel disquieted? |
44769 | Then you still believe that when death comes you will cease to exist, and perish for ever like the beasts of the field? |
44769 | Then, Sir, you think you will''shortly put off this tabernacle,''and enter that''house which is not made with hands, eternal in the heavens?'' |
44769 | Then, Sir,I replied,"why do n''t you? |
44769 | Then, how can you expect to go to heaven on your own principle of reasoning? 44769 Then, where is he?" |
44769 | Then, why have the sacred writers done it? 44769 Very smart, Sir: then you think such a religion would do me good?" |
44769 | Well, Madam, it is certain you will die, and you may die suddenly; but do you think that this dream will hasten the time of your death? |
44769 | Well, my son, I hope the Lord is dealing graciously with your soul now you are in the dark valley? |
44769 | Were you never in a thunder- storm? |
44769 | What are his difficulties? |
44769 | What book,inquired Mrs. Lewellin,"do you like next to the Bible?" |
44769 | What did your parents say? |
44769 | What fresh evidence of the divinity of the gospel,said Mr. Annesley,"did you receive last night, for I do not recollect advancing any?" |
44769 | What injury can it do the private reputation of a Christian? |
44769 | What woman are you in bondage to? |
44769 | What''s the matter now? |
44769 | What''s the matter, Henry? |
44769 | What''s the matter, girls? |
44769 | Where is he? |
44769 | Where''s Charles? |
44769 | Where''s my sister? |
44769 | Where''s the lady? |
44769 | Where, and when, Sir, may I ask? |
44769 | Who can tell? |
44769 | Who will bear the heavy tidings to our father? |
44769 | Why not, Miss Holmes? |
44769 | Why not, Sir, act on the same principle, on the more important question relating to your soul-- its peace, and its salvation? 44769 Why, Madam?" |
44769 | Yes, I know it; but what has he done? |
44769 | Yes, but what sacrifice of feeling does it require? |
44769 | Yes, my child, he always deals righteously; but is he dealing graciously? |
44769 | You appear unhappy,said her husband, one day, on finding her in tears;"is it on my account or your own?" |
44769 | You do not doubt its reality? |
44769 | You expect, I suppose, that you shall soon get about again? |
44769 | You have no doubts, I suppose, about the certainty of your salvation? |
44769 | You have then no doubt of your final salvation? |
44769 | You refer, I presume, to the omission of her name in the parish registry, recording the fact of her regeneration? |
44769 | You were not at home, I believe, when your son arrived? |
44769 | You would not now willingly be what you once were? |
44769 | ''Are you in any pain?'' |
44769 | ''But where is father?'' |
44769 | ''Do you want anything?'' |
44769 | ''How long has she been ill?'' |
44769 | 3--"And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? |
44769 | A Christian who has not the liberty so much as to think of an ill thing?--Why does he entertain himself with lewd representations? |
44769 | A few hours will decide the long- agitated question--''Am I his, or am I not?'' |
44769 | A miracle?" |
44769 | Am I in some fairy land?" |
44769 | Am I to perish like the beasts of the field? |
44769 | And are not Christian parents, in general, too inattentive to this branch of their duty? |
44769 | And are they not, from their age, and experience, and affection, qualified to give advice? |
44769 | And can either of these passions be excited without producing some demoralizing effect? |
44769 | And can we anticipate it with cool indifference? |
44769 | And can you anticipate the solemnities of that day, while continuing in a course of sin, with any other than the most fearful apprehensions? |
44769 | And can you, my dear Henry, leave the Saviour who once had compassion on you, and did such great things for you, as you so often told us of? |
44769 | And could I remember these things, without remembering you and my other pious friends? |
44769 | And have we not encouragement to do this, seeing that God is sometimes pleased to transform the persecutor into a preacher of the gospel? |
44769 | And have you, my Henry, forsaken that Saviour whom, unseen, you loved when you lived at home with us? |
44769 | And if others excel her, or receive more marked attentions, will she not retire from the company stung with envy? |
44769 | And is it not so? |
44769 | And is it you, my dear Miss Rawlins?" |
44769 | And is the wise Disposer of all events about to remove you from amongst us? |
44769 | And is this the only one which the history of crime has given you? |
44769 | And since the mind of man has a natural bent to extravagance, how is it likely to hold out under example and invitation? |
44769 | And what do they say on the question relating to the source of their knowledge? |
44769 | And what has it done for modern Paris, where it exists in the plenitude of its glory? |
44769 | And what is the consequence of this? |
44769 | And who can turn away from such a scene, without wishing to be made a partaker of the like precious faith? |
44769 | And who, beloved brethren, supplies me with the materials for this dramatic sketch? |
44769 | And why do I believe it? |
44769 | And will not the influence of his example have an injurious effect on his children? |
44769 | And will not this excite prejudice in their minds against the clergyman whose ministry they are_ forced_ to attend? |
44769 | And will you remain in a state of indifference, while such solemn events are at hand? |
44769 | And would you suffer them, if they had acquired it, to go alone?" |
44769 | And, after all, what is virtue? |
44769 | And,_ third_, Are his sufferings expiatory-- the meritorious cause of human salvation? |
44769 | Are Miss Susan and Miss Dorothy still alive?" |
44769 | Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? |
44769 | Are not these injunctions violated by those who frequent the theatre? |
44769 | Are there no filthy expressions-- no unhallowed jesting on the stage? |
44769 | Are there no idle-- no profane words spoken on the stage? |
44769 | Are they not, in the case of the marriage of their children, apt to depend too much on their own judgment to decide on its fitness? |
44769 | Are we ready to step across the boundary which divides the visible from the invisible world, without faltering in our passage? |
44769 | Are you become an alien from every virtuous principle? |
44769 | Are you quite sure that it would be hissed off by a British audience?" |
44769 | Are you such a coward as to care for what others say, when you are doing a thing for your own advantage? |
44769 | As time advances, are you not gradually sinking into a state of mental dejection, from which you see no chance of being delivered? |
44769 | But are you prepared to give an account of the manner in which you have improved his faithful services amongst you? |
44769 | But do not parents sometimes bring upon themselves, and upon their children, the very evils which they are anxious to avoid? |
44769 | But has he not on this occasion acted like one?" |
44769 | But how is it he derives so much consolation from that which gives me none?" |
44769 | But how is this? |
44769 | But is not the exposing of children condemned in that charge against the Romans that they were''without natural affection?'' |
44769 | But suppose, while in this state of terror, we should hear them singing in chorus a verse of some familiar hymn, would you then recoil in terror? |
44769 | But there is one question of a more direct personal nature, which I wish to propose, and it is this-- What am I to do? |
44769 | But what is that something? |
44769 | But who can ascertain which ray begins, or which ends the dawn? |
44769 | But who has not been struck with the difference of the impression and effect? |
44769 | But why do they tremble, if they believe she has no power to punish? |
44769 | But, before I touch on this, will you permit me to ask how long she lived after your unexpected interview with her? |
44769 | But, how shall we know the wisest and the best from the most depraved, in such a promiscuous throng as usually crowd a theatre?--From instinct? |
44769 | But, if the resources are sufficient to satisfy the demands of justice, has benevolence no claim on the female sex? |
44769 | But, to come to the point, what are the evils which you think result from such scenes of amusement?" |
44769 | Ca n''t you favour me with another?" |
44769 | Can Jesus Christ make me happy? |
44769 | Can no argument produce a conviction of your danger, and can no motive induce you to avoid it? |
44769 | Can not we do what Mr. Stevens did under similar circumstances? |
44769 | Can such a change in your habits take place without having some powerful effect on the state of your affections? |
44769 | Can such persons expect a state of future felicity as confidently as though they had always been virtuous? |
44769 | Can this strange change take place without producing some ill effect? |
44769 | Can we expect to become established in our faith, by going where that faith is perpetually assailed? |
44769 | Can we expect to derive consolation, if we go where the manner in which the message is offered offends our taste? |
44769 | Can we expect to venerate the ministry, if the man who holds the hallowed office display not the same mind which was in Christ Jesus our Lord? |
44769 | Can you favour us with some account of her history?" |
44769 | Can you form any idea how much she is likely to have? |
44769 | Can you hope to gain proselytes to your opinion? |
44769 | Can you tell me the meaning, as I should like to know?" |
44769 | Did George tell you what he says to his mother and me? |
44769 | Did I ever make you a promise, which I have not redeemed?" |
44769 | Did any of the apostles ever condemn the theatrical exhibitions of the times in which they lived? |
44769 | Did the stage ever recover Greece or Rome from their licentious and barbarous rites and ceremonies? |
44769 | Do no corrupt communications proceed from the mouth of players? |
44769 | Do you imagine that he is unable to save you? |
44769 | Do you imagine that the misery of a lost soul is less terrible than the Scriptures represent it? |
44769 | Do you not think that religious people ought to abstain from the appearance of evil? |
44769 | Do you recollect the remark which you made on your return home?" |
44769 | Do you suppose he is unwilling to save you? |
44769 | Do you think he would hesitate breaking off that engagement a single moment? |
44769 | Do you think you are in no danger of being lost? |
44769 | Does Sophia know it? |
44769 | Does it enlarge and strengthen the intellectual faculty, or extend the boundary of our practical knowledge? |
44769 | Does it refine the_ moral_ taste, or call into action the best feelings of our nature? |
44769 | Does it tend to prepare us for our final destiny, as candidates for immortality?" |
44769 | Does no feeling of generous sensibility move in your breast? |
44769 | Does not the apostle, in this passage, commend those to whom it was addressed, for having renounced their former revellings and banquetings? |
44769 | Does not this clearly prove that faith in Christ, and an assurance of an interest in him, are essentially distinct? |
44769 | Does not this passage condemn our going into the assemblies of the ungodly? |
44769 | Does not this prove that the tendency of their professional duties is injurious to their own morals?" |
44769 | Does the shepherd refuse to take back the lamb into his fold, which has happened to stray from him?" |
44769 | Does your moral sense, dear Emma, receive no offence, when you see a person, who makes a profession of personal piety, acting like a worldling?" |
44769 | During all this time that has elapsed, what has become of our friends at Fairmount? |
44769 | Falkland._--"And what may that be?" |
44769 | Falkland._--"But, Sir, do you believe that the apostles approved of every practice which they did not_ expressly_ condemn?" |
44769 | Falkland._--"I grant it, Sir; but will her imagination sustain no injury by the polluting impressions which it will receive? |
44769 | Falkland._--"It may be so; but would you like a son or a daughter to acquire a passion for theatrical amusements? |
44769 | Falkland._--"Then, Sir, if I understand you, it is lawful to introduce any play on the stage which the lord- chamberlain licenses?" |
44769 | Falkland._--"Then, Sir, theatrical amusements will not reclaim extreme profligacy, nor produce virtue where it is most needed?" |
44769 | Falkland._--"Then, Sir, you require a stock of virtue to insert your graft on, or you do not calculate on raising any good fruit?" |
44769 | Falkland._--"Very possibly; but do all who attend the theatre adopt the same judicious maxim?" |
44769 | Falkland._--"What if the persons to whom they wrote had previously renounced them?" |
44769 | For example, are superior intelligence, genius, or wealth, made common property-- to be possessed by men share and share alike? |
44769 | For what influence can an unstable man ever acquire, unless it be the power of doing evil? |
44769 | For what is beauty without life but a fading ornament? |
44769 | For what purpose? |
44769 | From whence did they gain their information? |
44769 | Has a father no personal interest in the preservation of the life and happiness of his child? |
44769 | Has he a mind to discharge his modesty, that he may sin afterwards with the more boldness? |
44769 | Has he not said,''Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out?''" |
44769 | Has it not been admitted, that expressions are sometimes uttered on the stage which the lips of virgin modesty could not utter? |
44769 | Have not many, who have ended their days on the scaffold, traced their ruin to the profanation of the Sabbath? |
44769 | Have they no claim on our benevolent feelings? |
44769 | Have you been as much pleased as you were with the excellent discourse we heard the Sunday before I left home?" |
44769 | Have you ever spoken to her on the subject?" |
44769 | Have you lived here many years?" |
44769 | Have you lost all sense of honour? |
44769 | Have you not read the verses which almost immediately follow?--''Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? |
44769 | Have you nothing in the shape of a novel? |
44769 | Have you, Sir, on more mature deliberation, been induced to change that opinion?" |
44769 | Have_ they_ never been publicly convicted of crime?" |
44769 | Have_ they_ never broken down the fence that guards the sanctity of domestic virtue? |
44769 | He has broken down the fence of our union, and taken away the first- fruits of our wedded happiness, and what have we left to make up for our loss? |
44769 | He has, I see, a chapter on the employment of time; shall I read that, Miss Holmes?" |
44769 | He now gently waved his hand as he repeated the triumphant language of the apostle:--"O death, where is thy sting? |
44769 | How came these men to devise a scheme of religion which is so admirably adapted to the moral state of man? |
44769 | How can we take this cup of sorrow without praying that it may pass from us? |
44769 | How could they have done this, unless they had been guided by a prescient Spirit, to whose eye all the future is as visible as all the past?" |
44769 | How did he die?" |
44769 | How did you escape it? |
44769 | How is it that it does not scatter the seeds of virtue among them, and raise it to a high state of culture?" |
44769 | How is this possible, when he is dead, and gone to heaven? |
44769 | How is this? |
44769 | How is this?'' |
44769 | How then will you account for finding only the five shillings and sixpence?" |
44769 | How will you account for this rather puzzling fact?'' |
44769 | However, waiving all personal remarks, allow me to ask you if you really believe that Christianity will ever become a universal religion? |
44769 | I am commanded to take heed_ what I hear_; and if I disobey this injunction, how can I expect to enjoy the Divine blessing?" |
44769 | I believe you learned at school, dear Emma; did you not?" |
44769 | I beseech you, by that voice of sympathy and power, with which he said to Saul, while injuring his church,''Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?'' |
44769 | I grant that certain abuses, at various periods of its history, have disgraced this department of the drama; but what then? |
44769 | I grant you that the most obscene and licentious compositions have disgraced the stage, but is the abuse of a thing any objection against its use? |
44769 | I now can see the vanity of the world; but shall I do so when I am again able to go about? |
44769 | I suppose he has told you about the sarmunt that made him feel all at once that he was in a new world? |
44769 | I suppose you have read what Jesus Christ says on this point? |
44769 | I then put the all- important question--''_Do you know anything about Jesus Christ?_''Never shall I forget the effect of this question. |
44769 | I would ask him if he does not often regret the exchange he has made? |
44769 | I would ask, Have you never made the attempt? |
44769 | If she is now convinced that by consummating the union, her happiness for life will be sacrificed, ought she to be compelled to do so? |
44769 | If so, for what purpose?" |
44769 | If so, it can not be a safe guide; and if it be not so, how do you account for the very different interpretations which it receives?''" |
44769 | If some of the clergy are corrupt, will the fact of their corruption diminish the magnitude of the players''vices? |
44769 | If this be not proof against theatrical amusements, what will you call proof? |
44769 | If true, we can account for its origin; but how can its origin be accounted for if it be false? |
44769 | If we go to church, and pay every one his own, and are as good as we can be, do you not think that we shall go to heaven when we die? |
44769 | If you are right, I am on the wrong tack; but what must I do to get right? |
44769 | If you push that which totters already, whither will it tumble? |
44769 | In fact, would not such an attempt, if made, as has happened occasionally in modern times, be considered a proof of insanity? |
44769 | In illustration of this subject, I shall here conclude by quoting the following from a deceased divine:--"If you ask, But how am I to return? |
44769 | Is he a more learned or a more virtuous man than you are?" |
44769 | Is he a pious man, or does he belong to the world?" |
44769 | Is he gone without giving me his blessing? |
44769 | Is it a hidden mystery which the great teacher death alone can explain; or is it possible to get the mystery explained before death comes? |
44769 | Is it an oracle which utters truth and falsehood? |
44769 | Is it not a great misfortune that it should come to- day?" |
44769 | Is it not enough for me to bear his unkindness, without having to endure such reproaches?" |
44769 | Is it not that the contracting parties may have an opportunity of judging of their relative fitness for each other? |
44769 | Is it not there that the evil spirits of impurity spread their nets for thoughtless and unsuspecting youth? |
44769 | Is it not to be regretted, that a similar spirit has not been uniformly cherished amongst the disciples of Jesus Christ? |
44769 | Is my preservation from death to be regarded as a little matter? |
44769 | Is she not, Emma?" |
44769 | Is the Bible really such a mysterious book that it is incapable of being understood? |
44769 | Is the Lord''s arm shortened, that he can not save? |
44769 | Is the crime of gaming, or bull- baiting, or of forgery expressly condemned by the Scriptures? |
44769 | Is there not a strong censure against slavery conveyed in the command to''do unto others as you would have them do unto you?'' |
44769 | Is there nothing in this that may suit your case? |
44769 | Is this a delusion, or am I waking up out of a mental torpor amidst sublime spiritual realities? |
44769 | Is this a fair specimen of your Christian charity?" |
44769 | Is this favourable to the cultivation and growth of virtue? |
44769 | It is this, Sir: As we have so many religions in this kingdom, which is the best?" |
44769 | It is this-- Shall your nephew and my daughter, after a certain event takes place, go to reside near London, or shall they reside near us?" |
44769 | May I be permitted now, to place your leading assertion, and your last concession, in one sentence?" |
44769 | May they not have become corrupted in the course of time? |
44769 | Moving back, as if from an adder, he said,"Have you been reading it?" |
44769 | Mr. Roscoe, addressing Mr. Guion, said,"Can you, Sir, tell me anything about my old friends the Misses Brownjohn? |
44769 | Must I then, I said to myself, withdraw from the gay world to be happy? |
44769 | Now, Sir, when will you come and give us the sarmunt in the barn? |
44769 | Now, permit me to ask, if the sanctimonious hypocrite is not a more odious character than the profligate player?" |
44769 | Now, what evil can result from such a method of passing away the evening?" |
44769 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
44769 | On what basis can I rest a hope of acceptance?" |
44769 | Ought a female to marry when she feels conscious that she can not be happy with the person who wishes her to become his wife? |
44769 | Our Saviour says--''Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? |
44769 | Permit me, then, to ask you, if the company into which the young are introduced at a theatre, does not form a very powerful objection against it?" |
44769 | Pray, may I have you as a partner, as I see they are getting up a quadrille?" |
44769 | Roscoe._--"And what is it but prejudice, arising from ignorance and misconception, which prevents this cordial union and fraternal attachment? |
44769 | Shall I pray with you, before I leave you? |
44769 | Shall we provide no spiritual comforter, but suffer them to live and die without having one near them to administer the consolations of religion? |
44769 | Should we be calm, like the woodman, who after the toils of the day, goes home to enjoy his rest? |
44769 | Should we be in ecstasy, as when the captive is released from the prison- house of wretchedness, and restored to his home? |
44769 | Stevens._--"How did you meet the difficulties of the case?" |
44769 | Talbot._--"And, Sir, has no unsuspecting family had occasion to rue the day when they received into their friendship the ministers of religion? |
44769 | Talbot._--"Have I not admitted it, Sir?" |
44769 | Talbot._--"Then, how comes it to pass, if it be so, that these men still remain immoral?" |
44769 | Talbot._--"There is, I admit, too much truth in what you now say; and how will you account for it?" |
44769 | Talbot._--"What plays do you refer to?" |
44769 | Talbot._--"Why, Sir, I presume you know that the public often reject plays?" |
44769 | Talbot._--"Why, Sir, are there not many who wear the gown immoral?" |
44769 | The eye of the invalid lady caught hers; she paused, and exclaimed with emotion--"And is it you, my dear Miss Roscoe?" |
44769 | The great question,_ What must we do to be saved?_ answered: see_ An Escape from a False Refuge_( i. |
44769 | The people are honest, industrious, virtuous, and happy; and what reformation do they require?" |
44769 | The real question of difficulty to decide is simply this:--Are they supernatural manifestations, or illusions of the imagination? |
44769 | Then, as you object to the novel, I presume you are equally averse to the card- table?" |
44769 | There are two questions, I apprehend, which have an immediate claim on our attention-- first, What is the design of comedy? |
44769 | They can not attend; and shall we leave them to spend the remainder of their days in a state of spiritual destitution? |
44769 | They may express their opinion, and they often do express it, but of what value or importance is it in relation to the subject? |
44769 | They may say that its tendency is to make us unhappy; but how can they prove it? |
44769 | This simple, artless tale made its way to the heart of Mr. Lucas, who said,"How long have you been in London?" |
44769 | This was followed by several common- place questions-- such as,''What is your name?'' |
44769 | Thy sin may be great, and the language of an awakened conscience may suggest, Who can heal me? |
44769 | To whom then?" |
44769 | Was God away from the spot where my friend''s foot slipped? |
44769 | Was it mere chance which gave me a hair- breadth escape from a sudden death? |
44769 | Were they not employed to furnish us with a code of laws for the government of our conduct? |
44769 | Were you intimate with her?" |
44769 | What am I to do, or suffer, to gain peace of mind, and get that new spiritual life, of which you have been speaking?" |
44769 | What human power could have effected such a moral renovation as that which was produced while she was listening to this sermon by Mr. Annesley? |
44769 | What is it for man to perish? |
44769 | What more melancholy sight than this can be presented to the real Christian? |
44769 | What plea can I urge for mercy? |
44769 | What positive thing am I to do, or suffer, to obtain it? |
44769 | What shall we do, for I feel the subject too important to be dismissed?" |
44769 | What think you of this specimen? |
44769 | What will father say if he hears of it?" |
44769 | What, Sir, is freedom, where all are not free-- where the greatest of God''s blessings is limited with impious caprice to the colour of the skin? |
44769 | Where is the soul- refreshing view, Of Jesus and his Word? |
44769 | Where, and how, can I obtain it? |
44769 | Wherefore? |
44769 | Who can place any dependence on him?" |
44769 | Who can respect him? |
44769 | Who will bear the heavy tidings to our father?" |
44769 | Why need I mention the levities and impertinences in comedies, or the ranting distractions of tragedy? |
44769 | Why not dismiss your prejudices, and go to the village chapel? |
44769 | Why not make the experiment, which can subject you to no loss, and may lead to a glorious issue?" |
44769 | Why not? |
44769 | Why should any efforts be made to dispossess them of their religion, with its rites and ceremonies, which they inherit from their forefathers?" |
44769 | Why should you continue to linger around the promises of salvation, and not embrace them as the source of your comfort?" |
44769 | Why should you pause? |
44769 | Why then should you doubt? |
44769 | Why these omissions? |
44769 | Why, Sir, what is there in that obsolete book to interest me?" |
44769 | Why, do n''t you recollect what our blessed Lord said,''Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out?'' |
44769 | Why, is not a Unitarian compelled to believe what he can not comprehend? |
44769 | Why, what evil has she done? |
44769 | Will her memory carry away no expression which you would rather she would forget?" |
44769 | Will her moral taste sustain no injury by the obscene sentiments and allusions which she will hear? |
44769 | Will not this prove injurious to them? |
44769 | Will she retire as pure from all corrupt associations, as she was when she first entered the theatre? |
44769 | Will you give us another sarmunt in the barn, Sir?" |
44769 | Will you pass on to meet them, as though they were cunningly devised fables? |
44769 | Will you refuse to come to Jesus Christ, that you may have life? |
44769 | Will you resolutely withstand all the efforts which are made to save you from going down to death unprepared to meet your God? |
44769 | Would it suffice for the sun to veil his light, and the moon her brightness, to cover the ocean with mourning, and the heavens with sackcloth? |
44769 | Would the prophets and apostles have used these expressions if they had been Unitarians believing in Christ''s exclusive humanity?" |
44769 | Would this be an act of wisdom or of discretion? |
44769 | Would you experience additional consternation on perceiving that these barbarians had been instructed in the Christian faith?" |
44769 | Would you like that female to be either your mother, your wife, your sister, or your daughter?" |
44769 | Would you perceive the ingratitude and folly of squandering so precious a deposit? |
44769 | Yes, Sir, and I will visit it when the gray hairs of age hang upon me, if I am spared to old age; and shall I ever forget it when in heaven? |
44769 | You have withdrawn from me your love and your society, and will you now in exchange give me your reproaches? |
44769 | You live; but what is that life which you have lived? |
44769 | You object to such compositions, I believe?" |
44769 | You''ll give us another sarmunt in the barn?" |
44769 | [ 29] But, to advert to the religion of this village chapel, am I to understand that the doctrines of the Church of England are preached in it?" |
44769 | [ 45] Did they succeed in getting it?" |
44769 | _ Miss Roscoe._--"Do you give the clothes to the poor, or do you sell them?" |
44769 | and against duelling, in the general prohibition of murder contained in the sixth commandment?" |
44769 | and as often condemn himself for his folly and ingratitude in having made it? |
44769 | and as resolutely devote yourselves to the follies and the amusements of the world, as though you were to live for ever? |
44769 | and can you, on cool reflection, suppose that He will ever abandon you, now that you have surrendered your heart to him?" |
44769 | and do you wish, if possible, to sink me into contempt, after having abandoned me and your child? |
44769 | and does he not arm them against the reproaches which their exemplary conduct would bring upon them? |
44769 | and have I lost my father? |
44769 | and have you departed from the ways of the Lord for the pleasures of sin, which are only for a season? |
44769 | and have you made a shipwreck of that precious faith which once filled you with so much joy and peace in believing? |
44769 | and how can he sufficiently deplore such a calamity? |
44769 | and if it be a crime to advance them, can it be less than a crime to receive them? |
44769 | and if it be a crime to utter them, can it be less than a crime to go and listen to them? |
44769 | and if these vices are not to be named amongst Christians, ought they to be sanctioned by them? |
44769 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
44769 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
44769 | and is not that code perfect? |
44769 | and must she be taken from me?" |
44769 | and thus, like the apostle, while to some I have been the savour of life unto life, must I be to others the savour of death unto death?" |
44769 | and what is that?" |
44769 | and what, on the other hand, is that of those countries, where Christianity has been established?" |
44769 | and whether there was a recurrence of the astonishing responses to your inquiries?" |
44769 | and without exclaiming,"Let me die the death of the righteous?" |
44769 | and yet, Sir, would you venture to appeal to the silence of the Scriptures as a tacit sanction of these vices? |
44769 | and, if so, how do you think it will be propagated through the earth?" |
44769 | and, instead of seeing you accepted in the Beloved, shall I see you banished from the presence of the Lord for ever? |
44769 | and, secondly, Will the desired result be attained through its instrumentality? |
44769 | but do they? |
44769 | does mercy ever employ such terrific forerunners to announce her coming? |
44769 | has he ever employed the stage to turn men from darkness to light-- from the power of Satan to himself? |
44769 | how am I to regain my long- lost peace? |
44769 | is he in prison?" |
44769 | is it an argument against the thing itself, any more than the impositions of priestcraft are arguments against the value of true religion? |
44769 | is that my beloved pastor? |
44769 | or am I to exist in another state of being? |
44769 | or from some secret sign which, like that of the Masonic order, is concealed from every one but the initiated?" |
44769 | or is his ear heavy, that he can not hear?" |
44769 | or may not the writers of them have committed some mistake?" |
44769 | or must we look upon them as a contingent evil, inseparably connected with his mysterious history?" |
44769 | or should we be alarmed, as when the mariner sees the first symptoms of the rising storm? |
44769 | or should we turn pale, and tremble like the condemned criminal, when he hears the first sound of his own funeral knell? |
44769 | or that the happiness of a redeemed spirit is less joyous? |
44769 | or was it for the purpose of redeeming sinners from some fatal danger? |

50586 | It is said,''Why can not we improve on the Bible? |
50586 | It means that if you do n''t care any more for yourself than that why should he? |
50586 | Jesus said:"How is that so? |
50586 | Just like a shrimp who would say,"Must I confine my roaming to the Atlantic Ocean?" |
50586 | Just send up word and say,"Jesus, I''ve changed my mind; just put my name down for that, will you? |
50586 | Ladies, do you want to look pretty? |
50586 | Let me ask you one question: Are you ready to surrender to him? |

50586 | Nursing Bad Habits Are you nursing a habit today? |
50586 | O Lord, do you hear us? |
50586 | Of what value is your morality when your soul is lost? |
50586 | Oh, Jesus, is n''t this a fine bunch? |
50586 | Oh, but somebody says, do you call the news of that book that I am on the road to hell, good news? |
50586 | On the building? |
50586 | Or are you so blind to the spiritual that you ca n''t see that you need God''s help? |
50586 | Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful? |
50586 | Out came the farmer:"Hey, why do n''t you use the other end of that fork?" |
50586 | People sometimes ask me,"Who do you think will die first, Mr. Sunday, you or your wife, or your children or your mother?" |
50586 | Peter and James and John? |
50586 | Peter knew what their end would be-- blessings here and eternal life hereafter-- but he said,"What shall the end be of them that obey not?" |

50586 | See how the Lord does things? |
50586 | She said:''What''s your name?'' |
50586 | She saw them coming and cried out,''Have you any news of my boy?'' |
50586 | She took one look and said,''My God, is it you, Frank?'' |
50586 | She will say,"How are you, William?" |
50586 | Shortly after he had gone, the prisoner said to the watchman,"Who was that man that talked and prayed with me?" |
50586 | So he came and chose Moses to lead them, and when Moses got them out in the wilderness they began to knock and said,"Who is this Moses anyway? |
50586 | So that''s what you found, is it, Cowper? |
50586 | Some asked,"Where is the colonel?" |
50586 | Some of them stopped him and said:"What is the matter? |
50586 | Some one would say:"Good Angel, were you ever drunk?" |
50586 | Some people often say to me:"I wonder what the angels do; how they employ their time?" |
50586 | Some say:"Mr. Sunday, why is it that so few aged sinners are converts?" |
50586 | Sunday gets results for God; therefore, reason they, why should we attack him? |
50586 | Sunday has widely circulated his message upon this theme:"WHAT SHALL THE END BE?" |
50586 | Suppose death is eternal sleep? |
50586 | Suppose that when we die that ends it? |
50586 | Suppose there is no hell? |
50586 | Supposing a man should come to you and say,"The title to your property is no good and if some one contests it you will lose?" |
50586 | THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SUNDAY What does converted mean? |
50586 | Taking a reasonable view of the case, what do we find? |
50586 | Tell me, where did Moses get his faith? |
50586 | That is, are= you= willing to do His will even when it conflicts with your desire? |
50586 | That poor, dirty, triple extract of vice and sin? |
50586 | That seems to have moved him, and I can hear him cry in the words of my text:"What shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" |
50586 | That you can hear music and the voices of friends and dear ones? |
50586 | That you can leave your home and business, and come here and hear the songs and the preaching of the word of God? |
50586 | The Bible says heaven or hell, so why do you resist? |
50586 | The Gin Mill What is the matter with this grand old country? |
50586 | The Judgment of God What is your life? |
50586 | The butcher says,"What do you want, a piece of neck?" |
50586 | The first recorded words of Jesus are these:"Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
50586 | The governor here and I did n''t know it? |
50586 | The kid looked at me in wonder and said:"Say, boss, why did n''t you chuck that nickel in the sewer?" |
50586 | The man said,"Captain of what, sir?" |
50586 | The most popular song for most of you would be,"''Where is that joy which once I knew, When first I loved the Lord?''" |
50586 | The mother or that godless, maudlin bum? |
50586 | The next day in the street one man said to another:''Have you heard the news? |
50586 | The next question I want to ask is, how can you get it? |
50586 | The old man heard and looked up with a smile on his face and asked:"Did I understand you to say that I am dying?" |
50586 | The operation was performed, and when she regained consciousness, they said:"Bessie, were n''t you afraid when they put you on the table?" |
50586 | The second question:"Have you as a young man lived as you demand of me as a girl that I should have lived?" |
50586 | The song quickly changes to"Oh, Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" |
50586 | The teacher turned to him and said,"And how about you, Wilbur?" |
50586 | The third question:"If I, as a girl, had lived and done as you, as a young man, and you knew it, would you ask me to marry you?" |
50586 | The three addresses given on that day were"What Shall I Do with Jesus?" |
50586 | The two saw each other''s reflections in the French plate behind the bar, and the young man came out and said:"How do you do?" |
50586 | The young fellow said:"I suppose you do n''t remember me?" |
50586 | Then Jesus cried,''My God, why hast thou forsaken me?'' |
50586 | Then he asked the Pharisees:"Is that not proof enough that I am the Son of God, that I make the dead to arise?" |
50586 | Then he talked to that old fellow for two hours, and then the old scoundrel stroked his whiskers, and what do you think he said? |
50586 | Then somebody looked around and said,"Mr. L----, where is your little boy?" |
50586 | Then the stranger said:"Will you please tell me why you said it was the most powerful and influential church in the community?" |
50586 | Then whom are you going to believe, the man who has tried it or the man who knows nothing about it? |
50586 | They took the wounded soldier into their home,''Wo n''t you stay with us and be our son? |
50586 | They would go around and put their grips away in their room, wherever it is, and then they would say,"Can we sit here, Jesus?" |
50586 | Third-- Do you know what you''re talking about? |
50586 | Under the title"What Shall the End Be?" |
50586 | Very well; is it well with the child? |
50586 | Was n''t it good news to her to know that she and all her household would be saved by hanging a scarlet line out of the window? |
50586 | We all jumped down through the violets and varicolored flowers, the air pulsing with bird song, and I cried,"''Are-- all-- here?'' |
50586 | We had a grand meeting last night, Lord, when the crowd come down from Dicksonville( or what was that place, Rody? |
50586 | We have seen that it is good news; now what is it to obey? |
50586 | Well, then, how can I get this life that you want and everybody wants, eternal life? |

32355 | [ Illustration:"What Use Do You Make of Your Time?"] |
44469 | ''I suppose, Sir, you are a believer in the Bible?'' 44469 ''They may be, but what then? |
44469 | ''Why, then, I ask the infidel, will you attempt to destroy or disturb the faith of such believers? 44469 ''You speak ambiguously; will you explain your meaning?'' |
44469 | And are you conscious that you are not fit to die, and yet neglect to think about it? 44469 And did the morning bring relief?" |
44469 | And did you really? |
44469 | And do we not read that he that hath the hope of future blessedness''purifieth himself, even as God is pure?'' |
44469 | And do you imagine,replied Mr. Stevens,"that the circulation of the Scriptures without note or comment will endanger the safety of the church? |
44469 | And do you recollect the remark you made on his leaving us? |
44469 | And do you think that a person of affluence and respectability sustains any loss of reputation by visiting the poor and afflicted? |
44469 | And do you think that you have done right by opposing your wife? 44469 And do you think, Madam, it is right for a daughter to talk against her own father?" |
44469 | And how did you come to change your views as to the Bible? |
44469 | And how long have you felt yourself a sinner? |
44469 | And how many brothers and sisters have you? |
44469 | And if you die, where do you expect to go? |
44469 | And is it you, my Henry? |
44469 | And pray, Madam, where is a person to look for a genuine proof of his personal religion, unless he does look into his own mind? 44469 And pray, Sir,"said Mr. Lewellin,"what was the direct effect which the sermon produced?" |
44469 | And pray, my dear Sir, what is this religion of nature, which you say is so simple and pure? 44469 And what do you generally do after dinner on a Sunday?" |
44469 | And what is that fact? |
44469 | And what is your father? |
44469 | And where are you going? |
44469 | And where do you live? |
44469 | And where does your boy go to school? |
44469 | And who can undertake to pronounce that, during that long period usually designated as the dark ages, no such taint was ever introduced? 44469 And who would? |
44469 | And why not now? |
44469 | And why, Sir,I asked,"were you hostile to them?" |
44469 | And, my dear aunt, was this the only point of difference which you discerned between us and your Tractarian friends? |
44469 | Before I reply to your questions, may I ask if you have any doubt on the question of his sympathy for individual man? |
44469 | But I presume you do not intend, like our modern fanatics, to depreciate learning and intelligence? |
44469 | But are we to expect that this supernatural illumination, of which you speak, will convey to us any truth which is not already revealed? 44469 But are we to have no amusements because some indulge in them to excess? |
44469 | But as by nature we are inclined to evil, ought not_ such_ a propensity to be restrained? 44469 But as your Bible speaks of hell and eternal misery, do n''t you sometimes fear going there when you die?" |
44469 | But can such a discovery, which has plunged me into an abyss of terrific horror, ever lead to any favourable issue? |
44469 | But did it never strike you, when reading the gospels, that Jesus Christ attempted to make the Jews believe that he was a Divine incarnation? 44469 But did you never advert to the conjunction of the immaterial and material-- two very dissimilar natures-- in your own person?" |
44469 | But do not these two clergymen preach different doctrines? 44469 But do we not know that the Spirit often breathes on the dry bones while the prophet is calling on them to live? |
44469 | But do you never think of another world? |
44469 | But do you never wish to reside in a town, where you could enjoy an extensive intercourse with the religious world? |
44469 | But do you not suppose that he will go to Broadhurst, and hear our dear Mr. Ingleby next Sabbath? |
44469 | But do you not think,added Mr. Ingleby,"that the spirit of liberality is gaining ground among us?" |
44469 | But do you think that there is any moral evil in it? |
44469 | But do you think,said Miss Roscoe,"that it is possible for a real Christian to possess an atom of bigotry?" |
44469 | But have you any subject to reflect on of equal importance? 44469 But how can we purify ourselves? |
44469 | But how do you know that he hears and answers your prayers? |
44469 | But how have they put down your merry- makings? |
44469 | But is it not a wise_ discretion_ to tarry awhile, to test the strength of the religious principle, before the garb of a public profession is put on? 44469 But is not my dream a presentiment?" |
44469 | But of two evils is it not the wisest maxim to choose the least? 44469 But on what evidence do you base your belief? |
44469 | But ought we not, Madam, to prepare for death before it comes? |
44469 | But perhaps he thought she was an impostor? |
44469 | But was he not very wicked? |
44469 | But what convinces you that you are not prepared to go into the eternal world; and how long have you entertained such a belief? |
44469 | But what ought I to do? 44469 But what principle would you sacrifice by complying with such a request?" |
44469 | But where,said Mrs. Roscoe,"is the necessity of being always religious? |
44469 | But why did your father deny a request so reasonable? |
44469 | But why do you doubt it? 44469 But why not, when you know you must die soon, and may die to- night?" |
44469 | But why should he care about it, if he did what the church prescribes to be done? 44469 But why?" |
44469 | But would it not be better if we could all see alike on religious subjects? 44469 But would that be honourable, if I should not be indisposed?" |
44469 | But would you, during this probationary period, depend on your own moral strength to sustain the vital energy of your religious principles? |
44469 | But you have no idea of his leaving my church? |
44469 | But you know that we_ must leave_ it; and as we know not how soon, is it not of importance that we should be prepared? |
44469 | But you say''these things are put down by the Methodists, in spite of you;''what do the people do now? |
44469 | But you will admit that there are fanatics in the church, who hold some strange opinions, which do essential injury to society? |
44469 | But, Sir, after living such a vain life, may I venture to rely on his death for salvation, with a hope of obtaining it? |
44469 | But, Sir, how can you know that he feels sympathy for individual man, unless he tells you so? |
44469 | But, Sir, what must I do? 44469 But, Sir, you will admit that it may be true, though you do not believe it?" |
44469 | But, mamma, would you not save a little child from being drowned, or a widow from being burned, if it were in your power? |
44469 | But, my dear father,_ suppose it be a delusion, is it not a pleasing one_? 44469 But, my dear,"said Mr. Lawson,"how should this gentleman, who is a stranger among us, know the cause unless you tell him?" |
44469 | But, surely,said Mrs. Roscoe,"you do not intend to become a missionary, and transplant us to some province of India?" |
44469 | But,said Josiah, as he stood gazing on the living wreck of his possession,"where is Henry? |
44469 | By what means, then, did Paul convert the heathen? 44469 Can you afford to lose your temper?" |
44469 | Can you read? |
44469 | Can you read? |
44469 | Can you tell me who made you? |
44469 | Can you work in a garden? |
44469 | Can you, Madam, prepare too soon, when you do not know but you may die suddenly? |
44469 | Certainly not; and is not this supernatural concurrence promised by Jesus Christ, to his ministers of every age? 44469 Dear creature, it is impossible; but what else have you to tell?" |
44469 | Did Mr. Ingleby give her the sacrament and absolution? |
44469 | Did any clergyman visit him during his illness? |
44469 | Did he die, Sir? |
44469 | Did she ever tell it you? |
44469 | Did these new discoveries of truth minister to your relief? |
44469 | Did this severe mental conflict subdue you to the obedience of the Christian faith? |
44469 | Did you always believe in him, and love him? |
44469 | Did you ever know any one driven out of his senses by him? |
44469 | Did you ever think, Sir, of the awful responsibility in which your profession involved you? |
44469 | Did you know Covey, who was wounded in that engagement? |
44469 | Did you know him? |
44469 | Did you long remain in this bewildered and unhappy state? |
44469 | Did you not attempt to pray for mercy to pardon the act of deception you had committed? |
44469 | Did you often pray to be kept from self- delusion, during the time you were engaged in your religious duties? |
44469 | Did you remain for any length of time in this state of mental isolation from all contact with the facts and truths of the Bible? |
44469 | Did you remain long in this state of mental perplexity and distraction? |
44469 | Did you search the Scriptures to see if you could find anything in them to minister relief to your disconsolate heart? |
44469 | Did you tell Mrs. Lobeck where you had been, and what you felt? |
44469 | Did you wish to crush them? |
44469 | Did you, at this period, feel at ease-- quite satisfied with yourself and your condition? |
44469 | Did you, when practising your religious duties, think much about Jesus Christ, and much about coming to him by faith, to save you? 44469 Did your clerical brethren,"Mr. Stevens inquired,"express any astonishment or displeasure at the change which took place in your religious opinions?" |
44469 | Do n''t you know that you are born to live for ever? 44469 Do these ladies,"inquired Mrs. Stevens,"ever come now to hear you preach?" |
44469 | Do they really believe this? 44469 Do you ever attend a place of worship?" |
44469 | Do you ever doubt the reality of the spiritual change which you have undergone? |
44469 | Do you ever see them now, Sir? |
44469 | Do you ever think on the subject of death? |
44469 | Do you know how he felt in the prospect of dying? |
44469 | Do you know if Mr. Tennent saw him during his illness? |
44469 | Do you know if he had any hope of salvation before he died? |
44469 | Do you know if your conversion to the Christian faith produced any good effect on any of your former associates? |
44469 | Do you know what became of him? |
44469 | Do you place much dependence on dreams? |
44469 | Do you recollect it? |
44469 | Do you recollect the expression? |
44469 | Do you recollect these petitions? |
44469 | Do you remember any particular passage in the sermon which impressed and affected you? |
44469 | Do you think that God would command poor people to rest from their labour on the Sabbath, unless He knew that it would be for their good? 44469 Do you think you were renewed in the spirit of your mind during the first service you attended at the chapel?" |
44469 | Do you think,said the grief- worn mother,"our child is dying?" |
44469 | Do you, Sir, mean to insult me? 44469 Does he introduce them merely for discussion, or in relation to their practical tendency?" |
44469 | Does his religion make him wretched? |
44469 | Does it not consume that time which ought to be devoted to a more profitable purpose? 44469 Does she neglect her duties?" |
44469 | Does your dear mother know how you are? |
44469 | Exactly so; but is it not odd that I should ever be tempted to a thing for which I have no predilection, and which I do n''t understand? 44469 Had you ever any convictions during your gay career that you were acting an unwise and a dangerous part?" |
44469 | Has it any other bearing? |
44469 | Have they any pernicious influence over others to keep them from church? |
44469 | Have you a Bible? |
44469 | Have you a large family? |
44469 | Have you established family prayer in your family? |
44469 | Have you ever had any conversation with a pious shepherd, who feeds his flock in your beautiful vale? |
44469 | Have you ever heard him preach? |
44469 | Have you ever heard him preach? |
44469 | Have you given her notice to leave? |
44469 | Have you now left the navy? |
44469 | Have you,Mrs. Stevens asked,"had any recent conversation with your papa on religious subjects?" |
44469 | He may, Sir; but has not the Churchman the same liberty? 44469 He was a religious man; was he not?" |
44469 | How can we account for such strange conduct, which is so opposed to the injunctions of the Word of God? |
44469 | How did she die? |
44469 | How do you account for it, Madam? |
44469 | How do you know that? |
44469 | How do you spend your leisure time now? |
44469 | How, then, did you come to know anything about Jesus Christ? |
44469 | How, then, ought the virtuous to pray, if they ought not to pray in the strongest terms of humiliation? 44469 I always thought well of that cook; she has a taste above her class in life, I should like to have her; do you think she will leave?" |
44469 | I am happy to hear this, farmer; but have you a sermon? |
44469 | I can offer that prayer, and offer it from the depth of my heart; but will Jesus Christ hear it, and will he answer it? |
44469 | I do believe it, and what more is required? |
44469 | I fear,addressing myself to the father,"you are in trouble?" |
44469 | I hope you understand and feel what you read, and what you hear from the pulpit? |
44469 | I no more at Mary wonder, Dropping tears upon the grave-- Earnest asking all around her, Where is he who died to save? 44469 I presume you except Mr. Inglebly from this sweeping charge?" |
44469 | I suppose if you had openly avowed, what you had virtually done, they would have excluded you from their fellowship? |
44469 | I suppose that, though you live secluded from the world, you are sometimes visited by pious friends? |
44469 | I suppose you are much more happy now than you were before you knew him? |
44469 | I suppose you hope to go to heaven when you die? |
44469 | I suppose, Mrs. Pickford, things are now more comfortable at home than they used to be? |
44469 | I suppose, farmer, you would not like to have things changed back again to their former state? |
44469 | I suppose, though, you sometimes think during the week on what you hear at church on the Sabbath? |
44469 | I suppose,said Miss Chester,"you do n''t find that a difficult question to decide?" |
44469 | If, then, you ought to do what master bids you,_ ought you not to do what God commands you_? |
44469 | In what respect did you consider it derogatory to the character of God? |
44469 | Indeed, Madam, and what is the cause? |
44469 | Is Mrs. Roscoe of the same way of thinking with her husband? |
44469 | Is he fond of introducing religious subjects in conversation? |
44469 | Is he very dogmatical in conversation? |
44469 | Is his audience very large? |
44469 | Is it possible? 44469 Is she dying?" |
44469 | Is the old man dead,I asked,"who kept his flock here about six years ago?" |
44469 | Is there any danger, Sir? |
44469 | Is there danger? 44469 Is this dying?" |
44469 | Is this what, for so many years, I have been dreading? 44469 It is this, which I have repeated to you before--_Should_ you like to pass from the theatre to the judgment- seat of Christ?" |
44469 | Joyful, with all the strength I have, My quiv''ring lips shall sing,''Where is thy boasted vict''ry, Grave? 44469 May I be permitted to ask you what is the predominant impression it makes on your mind-- terror or tranquil peace?" |
44469 | Never calculate on being damned for ever? |
44469 | Now, we ask the Episcopal expositors to tell us where we are to look for godfathers or godmothers at the baptisms mentioned in the Acts? 44469 Our Lord,"said Miss Roscoe,"when conversing with his disciples, who had proposed to him this question,''Why speakest thou unto them in parables?'' |
44469 | Pray, Madam, what amusements would you sanction? |
44469 | Pray, Sir, if a body may be so bold, do I know your friend? |
44469 | Pray, Sir,said Mrs. Stevens,"who is to be interred?" |
44469 | Pray, farmer, have you ever seriously reflected on the worth of your soul? |
44469 | Pray, is he the son of Mrs. Lewellin, who lives in the village of Stenmoor, that you refer to? |
44469 | Really, my dear, I often wonder what you can see in religion to be so captivated by it? |
44469 | Shall I pray with you? |
44469 | Thank you, Sir, for your kindness; I hope Mrs. Stevens is well this morning? |
44469 | That''s very likely; but I suppose you now reflect at times on the worth of your soul, and the possibility of its being lost? |
44469 | Then I fear, my dear Mrs. Roscoe, that it is too true? 44469 Then I presume you did not approve of the sermon which you heard yesterday?" |
44469 | Then what led you to embrace the faith which you repudiated with such indignant feelings? |
44469 | Then why do they adopt it? 44469 Then you admit that it is our frailty that leads us to such amusements, and that if_ we possessed more exalted virtue_ we should avoid them?" |
44469 | Then you are no bigot? |
44469 | Then you can die in peace? |
44469 | Then you can leave father, and mother, and all your brothers and sisters, to go to heaven? |
44469 | Then you merely read your prayers; you did not pray? |
44469 | Then, Madam,I asked, with some degree of surprise,"are your daughters connected with no religious institution?" |
44469 | Then, Sir, was I doing wrong by placing my hope of being saved on my religious life and practice? |
44469 | Then, ladies, you are in want of two servants? |
44469 | Then, ma'', if he will bless me, why does he let me live so unhappy? 44469 Then, must we go without you?" |
44469 | Then,I said,"you have no fear?" |
44469 | There is now, I believe, a change in your views of Divine truth? |
44469 | To conclude: Are they zealous in propagating their doctrines? 44469 To what act do you refer?" |
44469 | True, Sir, but may it not prove a safe passport to heaven? |
44469 | True; but what sort of persons do you now refer to? |
44469 | Very true, Madam, and have we any reason to expect the increase unless we do sow the seed? 44469 Was you with your mother when she died?" |
44469 | We hope you will not object to accompany us when we visit our friends? |
44469 | Well, George, how are you? |
44469 | Well, my little fellow, what is your name? |
44469 | Well,said Mr. Stevens,"I hope you will; but what do you intend to do for a livelihood?" |
44469 | Were you trained, Sir, to a belief in the Bible? |
44469 | What course of procedure do they intend to adopt to obviate the evils resulting from the non- registration of these two events-- birth and baptism? |
44469 | What do we more than others? |
44469 | What do you mean by too much religion? |
44469 | What do you understand by coming to Jesus Christ? |
44469 | What is it, my dear? 44469 What is it?" |
44469 | What is there, Madam? |
44469 | What makes her think this? |
44469 | What makes you think so? |
44469 | What makes you think you shall go to heaven? |
44469 | What more, my dear Miss Roscoe? 44469 What must you do to be saved?" |
44469 | What promise of Jesus Christ did she refer to? 44469 What question do you refer to?" |
44469 | What ship,said Mr. Stevens,"were you on board of?" |
44469 | What sort of a gentleman is he? |
44469 | What time did he give to Miss Walcote, who expired just as she had left the card- table? |
44469 | What time do you generally devote to your garden? |
44469 | What was that, ma''? |
44469 | What was the nature of his disease? |
44469 | What, Farmer, are you going to the funeral? |
44469 | What, are you going to part with the old cook who has been with you so many years? |
44469 | What, have you a Sunday- school? |
44469 | What, my father, are these fearful apprehensions? |
44469 | What, then, is the fresh spiritual difficulty that now disquiets you? |
44469 | What,she added, with great warmth of expression,"shall the Divine decree be subject to the control of our freewill? |
44469 | When I pray, he hears my pray''r; When I weep, he sees my grief: Do I wander? 44469 When was she first taken ill, and what is the nature of her disorder?" |
44469 | Where did you carry him? |
44469 | Where have you been since you got your discharge? |
44469 | Where will they go? |
44469 | Where? |
44469 | Which state,I asked,"should you prefer, if it were left to your choice-- prosperity or adversity?" |
44469 | Who came into the world to save sinners? |
44469 | Who do you work for? |
44469 | Who is the gentleman? |
44469 | Who is there? |
44469 | Who, Sir? |
44469 | Why do you suppose that you are not fit to die? |
44469 | Why not? 44469 Why, Sir, is not that praying? |
44469 | Will you come down to supper, Sir? |
44469 | Will you permit me to ask you one question, What circumstance induced you to come to the chapel the first time you came? |
44469 | Will you tell me what was the means of leading you to receive the faith you once repudiated? |
44469 | Will you,said the father,"go to prayer with us? |
44469 | Would you then rather live and die ignorant of the meaning of the subject, than go and ask him to explain it to you? |
44469 | Would you, then, leave every individual in society to interpret the Scriptures according to his own judgment? |
44469 | Yes, my dear, there is a Divine reality in true religion, which, I hope, you will live to feel? |
44469 | Yes, my dear, they say they are happy; but what pleasure can there be in religion? |
44469 | Yes; do you know him? |
44469 | Yes; it was this--''Should you like to go from the theatre to the judgment- seat of Christ?'' |
44469 | You do not feel quite so much at ease in your mind now, as you did when attending to your long established religious customs? |
44469 | You do not,I remarked,"suppose that he is murdered?" |
44469 | You knew her? |
44469 | You may, Sir, but can others? |
44469 | You might have sung these words, because you are a Christian, but how could I have responded to them? |
44469 | [ 10][ 10]Will it be asked what females are expected to do? |
44469 | _ First._ Where does he appear? 44469 _ Second._ For whom does he appear? |
44469 | _ Third._ For what purpose does he appear? 44469 ''But could you derive no hope from the consolations which Christianity holds out to man?'' 44469 ''Is mother alive?'' 44469 ''Is this,''I involuntarily exclaimed,''the first beaming of mercy? 44469 ''Pray, Sir,''said my friend,''what was the state of your mind in the immediate prospect of death?'' 44469 ''Then how can we justify that indifference which we pay to it?'' 44469 ''What have you lost?'' 44469 ''What is the matter?'' 44469 ''When were you last conscious of possessing it?'' 44469 ''Yes,''thought I,''man has a capacity for happiness, why, then, is he not happy? 44469 --''And what''s that, John?'' 44469 15,''Thou shalt not steal,''would he not understand it? 44469 16,''Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour,''would he not understand it? |
44469 | 33)?" |
44469 | 8,''Remember the Sabbath- day to keep it holy,''would he not understand it? |
44469 | A man of genius? |
44469 | Addressing myself to the child, I said,"Do you think you shall die?" |
44469 | After inquiring for her welfare, he thus accosted her:"What would you now do without a Saviour?" |
44469 | After the second interview with his patient, her mother ventured to say,"Do you think, Sir, the dear creature is dying?" |
44469 | Am I the child of chance, or the offspring of a wise and beneficent Creator? |
44469 | Am I to sacrifice my religious principles to parental solicitation? |
44469 | And can we suppose that he discovers no fresh objects of contemplation and delight when this new power of spiritual vision is imparted? |
44469 | And did you not tell us that we must implore mercy, in terms_ equally humiliating_? |
44469 | And do we not know that the sentence of death has passed upon_ all men, because all have sinned_? |
44469 | And does it not require us to become a peculiar people? |
44469 | And does not the visible creation display the goodness of God? |
44469 | And here two questions demand my attention: first, What moral effects does faith produce? |
44469 | And how is their conversion to be effected? |
44469 | And if tears, the signs of sorrow, should be shed, ought this to excite astonishment? |
44469 | And in what can that peculiarity be manifested but by an entire avoidance of the habits and customs which the world sanctions? |
44469 | And may I hope, dear Sir, without being guilty of presumption, that_ he will save me_ from perishing, and admit me into heaven?" |
44469 | And ought those to be stigmatized as fanatics, and expelled from the church, who_ actually_ believe their own recorded faith? |
44469 | And tell me from what part of the_ visible creation_ has the sound of mercy ever proceeded?" |
44469 | And was it chance that gave to my tongue the sense of taste and the gift of speech? |
44469 | And what MUST we do?" |
44469 | And what more laudable ambition can inspire you, than a desire to be the mothers of the missionaries, confessors, and martyrs of Jesus? |
44469 | And what profit should we have if we pray unto him?" |
44469 | And where the monster''s sting?'' |
44469 | And where this passion does glow, what force can extinguish it? |
44469 | And who are those who have recently deserted the church? |
44469 | And who is selected for this novel manifestation of his power and his love? |
44469 | And why is the bird of night more happy than man? |
44469 | And would not your argument apply with equal, if not with stronger force, to the anti- evangelical clergy? |
44469 | And, besides, am I not responsible to God and to society for the influence of my example, as well as for my opinions and principles? |
44469 | And, besides, do you think that poverty will be admitted as an excuse for a neglect of duty? |
44469 | Are all treated alike, and do all stand on the same level, under his administrative providence? |
44469 | Are not children conceived in sin, and shapen in iniquity? |
44469 | Are they conformed to the image of the Son of God? |
44469 | Are we always to live in a state of exile from the charms and fascinations of social intercourse? |
44469 | Are we not told that a tree is to be known by its fruit? |
44469 | Are we to suppose that such men are corrupted by evil principles, and that they are under some fatally evil inclination?" |
44469 | Are you convinced, by an unbiassed and dispassionate investigation of the evidences of Christianity, that the system is false?" |
44469 | Are you crucified to the world by the moral influence of the death of Jesus Christ? |
44469 | As they ca n''t both be right, one must be wrong; which shall I follow?" |
44469 | At length Mrs. Stevens said,"Well, Robert, is your wife still in the body, or in glory?" |
44469 | Believest thou this?'' |
44469 | But are you quite sure she is not in a state of delirium? |
44469 | But are your congregations composed exclusively of this description of hearers? |
44469 | But can he proceed without meeting with some formidable resistances? |
44469 | But do they consign all to a state of future misery who do not belong to the Episcopal Church?" |
44469 | But if the pure truth of the gospel becomes corrupted, are we not taught to believe that the people perish? |
44469 | But if they are disposed to mistrust its efficacy in relation to themselves, why not suffer it to remain for the benefit of others? |
44469 | But is this possible?" |
44469 | But now about Mr. Roscoe, what is to be done?" |
44469 | But ought not the irreligion of such children to become a beacon to warn parents of the danger of such perverted notions and such criminal remissness? |
44469 | But shall we say that as soon as they lose their enjoyments they make a shipwreck of their faith? |
44469 | But to return to our subject, may I be permitted to ask you whether you now live habitually free from terror?" |
44469 | But what act of cruelty did the Captain meditate committing against you?" |
44469 | But what attracts his notice? |
44469 | But what is it that you ask of me? |
44469 | But what moral good resulted from this supposed change in his state and character? |
44469 | But what rank of life is free from danger? |
44469 | But who will undertake this herculean labour? |
44469 | But why am I favoured with these mercies of which many others are deprived? |
44469 | But why come to torment me? |
44469 | But why?'' |
44469 | But with such facts imprinted on our memory, can we say that such a game is the game of innocence?" |
44469 | But you would not adduce their bigotry as an evidence of their personal religion?" |
44469 | But, ma'', I am under an engagement to take tea with Mrs. Stevens and Miss Roscoe next week-- what shall I do?" |
44469 | Can he forget that the piercing eye of God follows him through all the windings and doublings of his course? |
44469 | Can he shake off the dread of futurity, and bid his dark forebodings cease? |
44469 | Can language more clearly or more forcibly express the necessity of a Divine influence to aid us to understand the meaning of the Word of God? |
44469 | Can such professors be said to_ adorn_ the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things? |
44469 | Can they both be right?" |
44469 | Can we conceive of anything more puerile, or more calculated to encourage persons to riot in sin, fearless of the fearful consequences? |
44469 | Can we expect forgiveness unless we pray for it? |
44469 | Can you account for this most astonishing part of their conduct?" |
44469 | Can you account for this wonderful change from a dread of death to a desire to die?" |
44469 | Can you be a Christian unless you possess the spirit, and are in some degree conformed to the image of Jesus Christ? |
44469 | Can you explain it?" |
44469 | Can you suppose that such scenes are the effect of Divine truth producing a rational conviction of sin, and a keen sense of its wickedness and danger? |
44469 | Can you tell me_ what it is, or how it acts_? |
44469 | Did it not startle you?" |
44469 | Did not Jesus Christ urge his hearers to search the Scriptures? |
44469 | Did not Mr. Travers force her out of the house?" |
44469 | Did not the Saviour, when he gave the apostles their commission, say,''Lo I am with you always, even to the end of the world?'' |
44469 | Did the clergy listen to it; and did they appear to like it?" |
44469 | Did you ever feel that you loved him?" |
44469 | Did you ever read his treatise?" |
44469 | Did you ever tell pa''about it, and what did he say?" |
44469 | Do n''t you think Mr. Cole a very clever and a very intelligent man?" |
44469 | Do they not partake of our impurity, and can we suppose that they will carry a depraved nature with them into heaven? |
44469 | Do we not read in the Bible that the renewed man has the eye of his understanding enlightened? |
44469 | Do you enforce it by a reference to its own loveliness, and its tendency to promote personal and relative happiness? |
44469 | Do you enforce virtue from an appeal to the authority of God? |
44469 | Do you mean to imply, in this category of their descent, that they are endowed with the same power and authority as the apostles?'' |
44469 | Do you not know that your soul, when it leaves the body, will exist for ever in a state of happiness or misery?" |
44469 | Do you think I could ever go and ask him?" |
44469 | Do you think he can, ma''?" |
44469 | Do you think it possible for any argument to convince you that Jesus Christ is not a real being, only an imaginary one?" |
44469 | Do you think that they really disbelieve the truth of Christianity?" |
44469 | Does it not encourage a passion for gaming, which, we know, has involved many in entire ruin?" |
44469 | Does it not frequently give excitement to those passions of our nature which ought to be repressed? |
44469 | Does it not savour of blasphemy to concede to any man an authority to forgive sins?" |
44469 | Does not such an idea supersede the work of the Spirit?" |
44469 | Does not this expression imply that before his renovation his understanding was darkened, through the ignorance that was within him? |
44469 | Does the law of our nature forbid it? |
44469 | For some time he felt unwilling to disturb her, but at length he broke in upon her musings, by asking if she felt indisposed? |
44469 | Goddard?" |
44469 | Guion._--"All pure religion commences in repentance towards God, and can there be repentance without sorrow? |
44469 | Has our Maker spoken to you out of heaven, and told you so: or is it mere guess- work with you? |
44469 | Have not the Lord''s people, in every age, had wicked children? |
44469 | Have they no immoral hearers? |
44469 | Have they no scoffers who visit their temples?--no infidels who commune at their altars? |
44469 | Have they none who set at open defiance the laws of God and man? |
44469 | Have we never heard the parent exclaim,"For this my son was dead, but is alive again; he was lost, but is found?" |
44469 | Have you been born again? |
44469 | Have you had repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ? |
44469 | Have you seen him, or heard of him? |
44469 | He bleeds; for what? |
44469 | He dies; for whom? |
44469 | He often used to say,"Where is the necessity of spending so much money in education, when we got on well enough without it?" |
44469 | He receiveth sinners; but on what terms and conditions? |
44469 | He was asked,''Can these dry bones live?'' |
44469 | Hence I presume, Sir, you would very willingly have these parts of our Catechism expunged?" |
44469 | Here I am; but how came I here? |
44469 | His own son was accused and condemned; and the question arose amongst the people, Will the king''s son suffer, or will the law be repealed? |
44469 | How long have you been ill? |
44469 | How will you account for this?" |
44469 | I am compelled to leave the false refuge in which I have been dreaming of safety; but where shall I find the true one?" |
44469 | I broke from the arms of sympathizing friends, saying,''Where is God, my Maker, that giveth songs in the night?'' |
44469 | I can no longer find pleasure in worldly dissipation and gaiety; I have entirely forsaken those scenes of folly and sin; and am I not happy? |
44469 | I do not approve of teaching young people religion; for who can teach but the Holy Spirit? |
44469 | I entered my closet, and said,''Now, Lord, what wait I for? |
44469 | I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess?'' |
44469 | I remember hearing our venerable minister once conclude a sermon with this striking remark:''Are you willing to be saved?'' |
44469 | I said to him,"How did you get this tract?" |
44469 | I said to him,''Does not Paul tell us that he began by saving the chief of sinners? |
44469 | I shall preach Christ; and can I preach on any subject so important? |
44469 | I suppose( looking at Mrs. Roscoe) you found the church prodigiously full?" |
44469 | I''ll repeat it to Mr. John Ryder the next time he calls; I wonder what he will say?" |
44469 | If Greece and Rome were subdued by the preaching of the gospel, who can despair of India?" |
44469 | If I die, I must appear before my Judge, and am I( wringing his hands) prepared? |
44469 | If it hath pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell, ought we to object to such an arrangement? |
44469 | If the priest be profane, will not the people abhor the sacrifice? |
44469 | If we addict ourselves to the vices of the age, can we warn the people against them with any hope of success? |
44469 | If we can not believe that_ they would recommend us to do it, ought we to recommend that others should do so_? |
44469 | If you had succeeded, you would have got into heaven without his help; how then could he be your Saviour?" |
44469 | If, then, I can not recommend the adoption of these opinions, ought I to sanction them by my presence, when they are enforced by others? |
44469 | If, then, we admit it to be true, does it not become us, if we wish to preserve consistency, to conform ourselves to its_ preceptive_ parts? |
44469 | Indeed, if your maxim be a correct one, what security have you for the permanent continuance of your belief?" |
44469 | Ingleby?" |
44469 | Is he not a good man?" |
44469 | Is he not a most solemn preacher? |
44469 | Is he not, ma''am, a most beguiling preacher? |
44469 | Is it becoming? |
44469 | Is it possible for me ever to take to this evangelical religion? |
44469 | Is it possible?" |
44469 | Is it right for one sheep to stray into another fold for pasture?" |
44469 | Is it safe? |
44469 | Is it wise? |
44469 | Is life to pass away in a dull, monotonous routine of duty? |
44469 | Is not this a resistless proof of the evil propensity of human nature?" |
44469 | Is religion the only subject which we are forbidden to approach? |
44469 | Is she likely to get any better before death?" |
44469 | Is the conversion of a modern pagan to the faith of Christ more difficult than the conversion of an ancient one? |
44469 | Is the mind never to relax itself amidst the diversions of polished society? |
44469 | Is the moral power of human friendship a fiction or a reality? |
44469 | Is the old man evangelical in his principles?" |
44469 | It is of no avail here to suggest the usual questions--''When did you see it last?'' |
44469 | John Roscoe_( addressing her husband).--"I think you must now give up the point; for who can fairly stand against such plain and powerful arguments?" |
44469 | Let us look around us, and what shall we see? |
44469 | Lewellin._--"As Protestantism and the Prayer- book have lived together in love for so many centuries, why not permit them to live on to the end? |
44469 | Lewellin._--"I suppose, Sir, you could not lead her into another way of thinking?" |
44469 | Lewellin._--"Of what practical use, Sir, is your act of uniformity? |
44469 | Llewellin?" |
44469 | Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? |
44469 | Mr. Guion._--"This is what ought to be done in self- defence, and to satisfy the scrupulous anxiety of others; but who can do it? |
44469 | Mr. Guion._--"Was this gift, in your opinion or belief, transmitted to the intellect or to the heart, or to both? |
44469 | Mr. Ingleby preaches?" |
44469 | Mr. Ingleby._--"As you refer to his style of preaching, I presume he has resumed his pulpit labours?" |
44469 | Mr. Ingleby._--"Did your remarks, Sir, elicit any reply?" |
44469 | Mr. Ingleby._--"How do the people appear to like this new style of preaching?" |
44469 | Mr. Ingleby._--"I suppose, Sir, you heard the Curate preach?" |
44469 | Mr. Roscoe._--"And do you really think so? |
44469 | Mr. Roscoe._--"And what is the second error which you think we hold?" |
44469 | Mr. Roscoe._--"I am satisfied that it does not invariably nor necessarily take place at baptism; but then, when does it take place?" |
44469 | Mr. Roscoe._--"To what spiritual functions do you refer?" |
44469 | Mr. Roscoe._--"What are those_ other_ evidences of regeneration to which you now refer?" |
44469 | Mr. Roscoe._--"What dilemma?" |
44469 | Mr. Roscoe._--"Will you now tell me by what sort of evidence a person who is actually regenerated acquires a satisfactory knowledge of the fact?" |
44469 | Must not these persons be converted before they can enter the kingdom of heaven? |
44469 | Not suffer cards to be introduced? |
44469 | Now, I suppose your fellow- servant understands more about the Bible and about religion than you do?" |
44469 | Now, shall our difference on these points prevent our uniting in its defence?" |
44469 | On its reception or rejection your eternal destiny is dependent, and shall that destiny be endless happiness or endless woe? |
44469 | On seeing Mr. Lewellin, Mrs. Stevens said,"Is your mother still living, my dear George, or has she left us?" |
44469 | One thing puzzles me when I think about it-- why do our bishops consecrate such men?" |
44469 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
44469 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
44469 | Pickford?" |
44469 | Pickford?" |
44469 | Pray, Sir, shall we have the pleasure of meeting you and Mrs. Cole at Mr. Ryder''s on Tuesday? |
44469 | Pray, how did Mr. Roscoe like his preaching? |
44469 | Prejudice led Nathaniel to exclaim, when the advent of the Saviour was announced to him,''Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?'' |
44469 | Roscoe''s?" |
44469 | Roscoe._--"And may not a person acquire a high degree of virtue even while he is destitute of every_ religious_ principle? |
44469 | Roscoe._--"And why should you doubt their sincerity? |
44469 | Roscoe._--"Are high church principles held by any very considerable number of the evangelical clergy?" |
44469 | Roscoe._--"But do you not believe in the necessity of regeneration?" |
44469 | Roscoe._--"But would it ever have been destroyed if we had not done it? |
44469 | Roscoe._--"Perhaps it may; but ought I, by my presence, to sanction opinions which I believe to be erroneous?" |
44469 | Roscoe._--"What follows is equally, if not more objectionable:--''_Question._--What did your godfathers and godmothers then for you? |
44469 | Roscoe._--"Why so?" |
44469 | Roscoe?" |
44469 | S----s?" |
44469 | Sceptics do n''t expect to go to heaven, do they, mamma?" |
44469 | Secondly, Have these effects been produced in me? |
44469 | Shall an apprehension of deserved wrath awaken no terror? |
44469 | Shall he abandon you to your irreligious course, and leave you to perish? |
44469 | She paused, and then said,"Do you think that I may be permitted to see her?" |
44469 | She took up her wages, and said,''Who taught me to speak untruth? |
44469 | Should we not avoid precipitation in a matter of such importance?" |
44469 | Should you like to leave the gaieties of this world, to associate with the awful realities of another?'' |
44469 | Some degree of perplexity is felt to account for them; but the most perplexing question is, How can relief be obtained?" |
44469 | Some of the Pharisees asserted that he performed them by a power derived from the devil; others said, can a devil open the eyes of the blind? |
44469 | Some they lull into a callous apathy and indifference, from which nothing can rouse them to the soul- stirring question-- WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? |
44469 | Suppose it be-- what you tell him it is-- all a delusion; yet if he die under its power he will never know it; why not, then, let him die in peace? |
44469 | Suppose the Sabbath were abolished for a few weeks-- in what state, think you, would some of you find your minds? |
44469 | Suppose your master was to tell you to fetch up the cows from yon meadow, would your poverty be an excuse for not doing it?" |
44469 | Take the_ bosom_ of friendship; is there no moral power in the suppressed groan or noiseless sigh? |
44469 | Take the_ countenance_ of friendship; is there no moral power in the bland and bewitching smile? |
44469 | Take the_ hand_ of friendship; is there no moral power in the hearty shake or gentle squeeze? |
44469 | Take the_ look_ of friendship; is there no moral power in the movement and soft beaming of the eye, especially in the falling tear? |
44469 | Take the_ tongue_ of friendship; is there no moral power in its expressions of sympathy, or its promises of fidelity? |
44469 | That will do, wo n''t it, ma''?" |
44469 | The change has not been produced by yourself, but by the grace of God; why, then, do you doubt either its reality or the divinity of its origin?" |
44469 | The pathetic tones in which this sentence was uttered-- there He bleeds, and there He dies; for what? |
44469 | The question is, How can it be detected before the discovery comes too late for correction? |
44469 | The writer of the book of Proverbs says,''The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a_ wounded spirit who can bear_?'' |
44469 | Then this ordinance stands like a monument erected at the time when the event occurred, to commemorate it, and to perpetuate the remembrance of it?" |
44469 | There this illustrious Prince bleeds, and there He dies; for what? |
44469 | There was, I believe, a large secession at Manchester some few years ago?" |
44469 | To you the word of salvation is now brought, and to you it has been delivered this night; will you receive it, or will you reject it? |
44469 | Two messengers from the celestial world break the silence of ecstatic wonder, saying,''Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? |
44469 | Was I doing wrong by doing this?" |
44469 | Was it by the exhibition of miracles? |
44469 | We are told that''the poor shall never cease out of the land;''and can poverty exist unattended by its consequent evils? |
44469 | We have but little light; and why should they try to put it out? |
44469 | We know that we can not command a future harvest, but does that conviction prevent our sowing the seed?" |
44469 | We shall all be one in heaven, and why not all one on earth?" |
44469 | What adulterer could expect to elude the penalty of his crime after witnessing such a spectacle of justice and of benevolence?" |
44469 | What are the proofs of such regeneration as a qualification for confirmation? |
44469 | What are the various laws of civil society but so many proofs of the evil propensity of our nature, and so many restraints on its indulgence?" |
44469 | What attainments can he then propose? |
44469 | What can I do now?" |
44469 | What can I do?" |
44469 | What can be the reason why I am so cast down and wretched?'' |
44469 | What can the believer do when dying? |
44469 | What can you do now to insure success?" |
44469 | What did he do? |
44469 | What does the doctor say? |
44469 | What effect did it appear to produce?" |
44469 | What gratification can success in such a species of destructive labour afford you? |
44469 | What heart would ever glow with love to God, unless that passion be enkindled as with a live coal from off his own hallowed altar? |
44469 | What influence have her religious principles over her temper?" |
44469 | What is this but interdicting the visit of mercy, and dooming a sinner to pass into the eternal world unprepared to die? |
44469 | What is this but virtually acknowledging that our church is not established on the foundation of the apostles and prophets?" |
44469 | What law, either human or divine, is violated by such a decision? |
44469 | What more can I desire? |
44469 | What ought I to do?" |
44469 | What proof can you bring of this?" |
44469 | What qualifications can he then acquire? |
44469 | What was the subject of his discourse?" |
44469 | What was this, Sir, but proclaiming the jubilee of vice and the armistice of virtue?" |
44469 | What wild project next? |
44469 | What will it avail us then whether riches or poverty, rank or_ meanness_, has been our portion here? |
44469 | What, in your judgment, are the spiritual advantages which are connected with the regular observance of the ordinance of the Lord''s Supper?" |
44469 | What, then, were the ordained means of conversion? |
44469 | When I came into your service, I came uncorrupted; I abhorred a lie, but did you not compel me to the habit? |
44469 | When I heard him, he alluded to dear Miss Patterson, who took cold on returning from the play, and died, you know, Sir, a few weeks afterwards? |
44469 | When we came to the cross- road where we were to leave each other, he said,"Do you, Sir, remain at Fairmount much longer?" |
44469 | When, Madam( addressing Mrs. John Roscoe), do you leave?" |
44469 | Where can we find an antidote for human misery? |
44469 | Where do you now attend?" |
44469 | Where is the doctrine of a Divine life begun in baptism and perfected in confirmation? |
44469 | Where is the doctrine of the_ regeneration_ of baptized infants in the Acts? |
44469 | Where is the equity of such a decision? |
44469 | Where shall I find another father? |
44469 | Where shall I find another home? |
44469 | Where shall I find happiness when my parents cease to love me and regard me as their daughter?" |
44469 | Where shall I find it? |
44469 | Where shall I find it?--in human friendship? |
44469 | Where the principle of grace is implanted, is it not represented as reigning through righteousness unto eternal life?" |
44469 | Where would be the equity or the expediency of such a measure? |
44469 | Where, Sir, are you going, if one may be so bold to ask?" |
44469 | Who can avoid its excitement when an object of distress is seen, or a tale of woe narrated? |
44469 | Who can compel me to believe any system of opinions? |
44469 | Who can look abroad without seeing occasion to deplore their pernicious effects? |
44469 | Who could believe such lips could praise, Or think my dark and winding ways Should ever lead to thee? |
44469 | Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? |
44469 | Who, of all the human family, would ever seek redemption through the blood of Christ, unless impelled by an invisible force? |
44469 | Why am_ I_ not happy? |
44469 | Why did you conceal your illness from me?" |
44469 | Why do they acknowledge, on their knees before God, what they deny to man? |
44469 | Why not let things remain as they always have been?" |
44469 | Why refuse to admit that Jesus Christ is the medium through whom all the designs of mercy and grace, in relation to man, are accomplished? |
44469 | Why, then, proudly arrogate to yourself the possession of knowledge which you know that it is impossible for you to acquire? |
44469 | Will Caiaphas, the high- priest, ever forget rending his clothes, and accusing him of blasphemy, because he admitted he was the Son of God? |
44469 | Will Judas ever forget taking the sop, and then going deliberately away to receive the reward of treachery? |
44469 | Will Pilate ever forget when the Lord of glory stood as a criminal at his tribunal? |
44469 | Will a person ever put such a question till he_ feels_ that he is in danger of being lost?" |
44469 | Will he ever forget the tortuous question, which still vibrates on his ear--''_Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss_?'' |
44469 | Will our bishops? |
44469 | Will our clergy? |
44469 | Will the jocund laugh, the merry dance, the enlivening strain of earth''s sweetest music, soothe the heart overburdened with deepest sorrow? |
44469 | Will you come, Sir, some Wednesday night while you are here, and give us a prayer and a sarmunt? |
44469 | Will you speak to me then if you should happen to see me there?" |
44469 | Would it be wise to act in opposition to such authority? |
44469 | Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?'' |
44469 | You and the Saviour are both of one mind, and who can separate you?''" |
44469 | You say, Sir, there is no other world; I should like to know how you happen to know this? |
44469 | You will come and take pot- luck with us before you leave Fairmount?" |
44469 | You won me over to your sentiments, and what did they do for me? |
44469 | _ Miss Roscoe._--"And pray, Sir, what do they mean by the uncovenanted mercies of God?" |
44469 | _ Miss Roscoe._--"And, of course, they are as unceremonious in their treatment of the Dissenters?" |
44469 | _ Miss Roscoe._--"What opinion, Sir, do the evangelical clergy who hold high church principles entertain on this question?" |
44469 | a man of Platonic virtue or of Socratic fame? |
44469 | a man of rank? |
44469 | and Christians?" |
44469 | and by what power are these desires and purposes cherished and nurtured in your heart? |
44469 | and could we calculate on receiving his benediction--_Well done, good and faithful servant_?" |
44469 | and for whom?" |
44469 | and in thy name done many wonderful works? |
44469 | and in thy name have cast out devils? |
44469 | and is not the moral renovation of our nature of equal importance? |
44469 | and ought a disciple to go where his Lord would not go? |
44469 | and why do I not enjoy life when I possess so amply the means of enjoying it? |
44469 | are any immoral persons ever permitted by a clergyman to partake of the Lord''s Supper? |
44469 | are they not rather the consequences of fanaticism?" |
44469 | be you zealous in opposing them; are they zealous in gaining proselytes? |
44469 | be you zealous in reclaiming them; are they zealous in putting an end to all the innocent enjoyments of social life? |
44469 | do n''t you consider that a great wonder, Sir?" |
44469 | do you really think so? |
44469 | exclaimed Mrs. Stevens;"was it not too much for your feelings?" |
44469 | have you been to the sun, and the moon, and all the stars, and every where else to see? |
44469 | if he were to die, where could I ever find rest? |
44469 | if so, there can be no necessity for the exercise of belief; or does the human spirit extract it by the mysterious action of its own faith? |
44469 | in what particular?'' |
44469 | or a hope of redeeming love inspire no joy? |
44469 | or can you do it with formal indifference? |
44469 | or shall he come to heal you, to guide you, and to comfort you?" |
44469 | or when, after pronouncing his innocence, he ordered him to be stripped, and scourged, and then sent him forth to the death of torture and infamy? |
44469 | said Sir Harry,''does your boy go to her school?'' |
44469 | that may be very proper, but I think that we have nothing to do with it, and therefore, why should we trouble ourselves about it? |
44469 | the amiable Mrs. Stevens a dangerous companion? |
44469 | were you able to speak any words of peace to his soul?" |
44469 | what is it that gives buoyancy to his hope, and calmness if not ecstasy to his feelings? |
44469 | why should I fear? |
44469 | why?" |
44469 | would it be in accordance with the will of the Lord Jesus? |
44469 | would it be safe? |
44469 | you seem agitated, has anything alarmed you?" |
38162 | Am I a new creature? 38162 Good- bye"treads on the heels of"How do you do?" |
38162 | He that formed the eye, shall He not see? |
38162 | How do we do? |
38162 | Is any afflicted among you? 38162 Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? |
38162 | Sir,she said, in a loud voice,"Are you happy?" |
38162 | To whom do you live? 38162 What is that to thee? |
38162 | What is_ zeal_ in religion? |
38162 | Where is charity? |
38162 | Wherefore standest thou without? |
38162 | Who art thou that judgest another? |
38162 | Why do you say that? |
38162 | ''Are you afraid to die?'' |

38162 | ( 3) Are you spiritually free? |
38162 | ( 3) Let me ask, in the third place,_ whether we are trying to satisfy our consciences with a mere formal religion_? |
38162 | ( 3) Thirdly, would you be_ safe for time and eternity_? |

38162 | A passage of Scripture like this parable ought surely to raise in many an one great searchings of heart.--"What am I? |
38162 | A wicked woman was overheard in the streets of London saying to a bad companion,"Come along: who is afraid? |
38162 | Am I a holy man?" |
38162 | Am I prepared to leave the world? |
38162 | Am I really one with Christ, and a pardoned soul?" |
38162 | Am I treated as I deserve?" |
38162 | Among the lost or among the saved? |
38162 | And Nathaniel said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? |
38162 | And after all,"Who gave thee any faith at all?" |
38162 | And after all,"Who told thee thou hadst any sins?" |
38162 | And by what means was all this miserable darkness cleared away? |
38162 | And can you suppose the Lord Jesus Christ is less merciful and less compassionate? |
38162 | And does not this stand in perfect harmony with all the language of Scripture on the same subject? |
38162 | And how can we know God without prayer? |
38162 | And how did He arm them for this battle? |
38162 | And how did these men of one book prosper? |
38162 | And is Christianity like this real? |
38162 | And is such Christianity as this real? |
38162 | And is such Christianity as this real? |
38162 | And is the Christianity of these people real? |
38162 | And is the religion of these people real Christianity? |
38162 | And is there not a striking and painful difference between this language and the habits and feeling of society about money? |
38162 | And now, after 4,800 years, what more can be said of the greatest among ourselves? |
38162 | And then ask this man who denies the being of a God, and a great First Cause, if all this wonderful mechanism is the result of chance? |
38162 | And they ask us, when this is the case, what becomes of the Bible''s boasted power? |
38162 | And what are the secrets of their victory? |
38162 | And what are the_ cheap things_ now? |

38162 | Are not these things so? |
38162 | Are not these things true? |
38162 | Are there no sick, no poor, no needy, whose sorrows we might lessen, and whose comforts we might increase? |
38162 | Are there not many of them yet outside the gate, unforgiven, unsanctified, and unfit to die? |
38162 | Are these your feelings about sin? |
38162 | Are they things to which you give a cold assent, and tolerate them as proper and correct? |
38162 | Are we free? |
38162 | Are we living like disciples of Him who always"went about doing good,"and commanded His disciples to take Him for their"example"? |
38162 | Are we never so much at home as in their company? |
38162 | Are we not no better than mere cumberers of the ground?" |
38162 | Are we really going to put a mere vague thing called"earnestness,"in the place of Christ, and to maintain that no"earnest"man can be wrong? |
38162 | Are we to be judges of what ought to be in the Word? |
38162 | Are we to come out from the world, or are we not? |
38162 | Are you a Christian in business, and on week- days, and by your own fireside? |
38162 | Are you a new creature? |
38162 | Are you a young person? |
38162 | Are you among the wheat, or among the chaff? |
38162 | Are you at peace with the worm and the fire? |
38162 | Are you forsaken by friends? |
38162 | Are you free? |

38162 | Are you free? |
38162 | Are you happy? |
38162 | Are you looking simply to Christ for pardon and life eternal? |

38162 | Are you ready for it? |
38162 | Are you sure that, with all their appearance of religion, they are born again and converted to God? |
38162 | Are you tempted to fancy that if you had the rich man''s place you would be quite happy? |
38162 | Are you tempted to make the Lord''s Supper override and overshadow everything in Christianity, and place it above prayer and preaching? |
38162 | Are you that man? |
38162 | Are you that man? |
38162 | Are you that man? |
38162 | Are you the child of nature or the child of grace? |
38162 | Are you the child of the devil or the child of God? |
38162 | Are you vile in your own eyes, and willing to take the lowest place? |
38162 | Are you wasting time, or turning it to good account? |
38162 | Are you wearied in body and grieved in spirit? |

38162 | Are you young? |
38162 | Art thou really sensible of thy guilt and vileness? |
38162 | Ask him if he so thinks about the watch he looks at, the bread he eats, or the coat he wears? |
38162 | Ask him if he will give up the little bit of religious hope which he has attained? |
38162 | Ask him if he would be content to turn round and throw down the things he has got hold of, and go back to the world? |
38162 | Ask him if it came together at first by luck and accident? |
38162 | Ask yourself what kind of gatherings you like best here upon earth? |
38162 | Ask yourself whether you really love the assembling together of God''s people? |
38162 | At what period shall the gate of salvation be shut for ever? |
38162 | Bought with such a price as that bread and wine call to his recollection, ought he not to glorify Christ in body and spirit, which are His? |
38162 | But HOW can sinful men like ourselves become sons of God? |
38162 | But I ask any real Christian, Is it not true? |
38162 | But I ask that man who has given up reading the Bible because it contains hard things, whether he did not find many things in it easy and plain? |
38162 | But all the time they never ask themselves,"What is all this to me?" |
38162 | But are they not true? |
38162 | But are we any better for it? |
38162 | But are we ourselves free? |
38162 | But are you sure that these people you speak of are true believers in Christ? |
38162 | But did you ever ask any of these people whether they would give up the position in religion they have reached, and go back to the world? |
38162 | But do you not see that the reality of death is continually forbidding us to use other language? |
38162 | But does sickness confer the benefits of which I have been speaking on only a few? |
38162 | But is not an acknowledgment of our own ignorance the very corner- stone and foundation of all knowledge? |
38162 | But is not this exactly in keeping with the history of the judgment, in the twenty- fifth of St. Matthew? |
38162 | But is there meanwhile no home for our souls? |
38162 | But is there no better"gathering"yet to come? |
38162 | But is this true? |
38162 | But still this is not a straightforward answer to my question.--Are you wheat or are you chaff? |
38162 | But what do their faces tell us as they hasten to their posts? |
38162 | But what is it to you and me what man thinks in religion? |
38162 | But what saith the Scripture? |
38162 | But what shall we say of the man who is ashamed of Him who died for him on the cross? |
38162 | But where is it said that none shall be saved except their faith be great? |
38162 | But where is the sin, or the heap of sins, that the blood of Jesus can not wash away? |
38162 | But where will the man hide his head at last who neglects such glorious encouragements? |
38162 | But where will you be? |
38162 | But who can find a man who would lay down his life for those that hate him? |
38162 | But who can wonder? |
38162 | But who can wonder? |
38162 | But who can wonder? |
38162 | But who that reads the parable to the end can fail to see that in the highest sense Lazarus was not poor, but_ rich_? |
38162 | But who that reads the story through can fail to see that in the highest and best sense the rich man was pitiably_ poor_? |
38162 | But why need I stop short in Bible examples? |
38162 | But why should I dwell on these things? |
38162 | But why should all this surprise us? |
38162 | But why should we look at facts in history? |
38162 | By what right do you talk in this way? |
38162 | Can God be a God of mercy, when He permits disease? |
38162 | Can a formal Christian really suppose that the mere outward Christianity he professes will comfort him in the day of sickness and the hour of death? |
38162 | Can any one deny that a mere outward religion, a religion of downright formality, is the religion which is popular in England at the present day? |
38162 | Can he do nothing but hear, and see, and smell, and taste, and feel? |
38162 | Can it be reconciled with the religion of Him who spoke the parable of the good Samaritan, and bade us"go and do likewise"? |
38162 | Can it be said indeed that reality is rightly esteemed among Christians? |
38162 | Can there really be such mighty harm in these things? |
38162 | Can this be right? |
38162 | Can we imagine that He who formed our world in such perfect order was the Former of needless suffering and pain? |
38162 | Can we really suppose that people are praying against sin night and day, when we see them plunging right into it? |
38162 | Can we suppose for a moment that God created sickness and disease at the beginning? |
38162 | Can we suppose they pray against the world, when they are entirely absorbed and taken up with its pursuits? |
38162 | Can we think that He who made all things"very good,"made Adam''s race to sicken and to die? |
38162 | Can we think they really ask God for grace to serve Him, when they do not show the slightest desire to serve Him at all? |
38162 | Can you doubt for a moment that He abhors everything that is not genuine and true? |
38162 | Can you reflect calmly on all the omissions and commissions of by- gone years? |
38162 | Can you think He would suffer on the cross and die, and yet leave it uncertain whether believers in Him would be saved? |
38162 | Consider, as you travel through every chapter,"How does this affect_ my_ position and course of conduct? |
38162 | Could we have been saved without the Lord Jesus Christ coming down from heaven? |
38162 | Did He leave it to our discretion whether we would attend to His injunction or not? |
38162 | Did He mean that it did not signify whether His disciples did or did not keep up the ordinance He had just established? |
38162 | Did the Apostle only mean in these texts, that circumcision was no longer needed under the Gospel? |
38162 | Did they come from nature? |
38162 | Do I believe?" |
38162 | Do I cast myself on Him? |
38162 | Do I mean everybody who goes to church or chapel? |
38162 | Do I mean everybody who professes an orthodox creed, and bows his head at the belief? |
38162 | Do I mean everybody who professes to love the Gospel? |
38162 | Do I not speak to your heart? |
38162 | Do I really believe on Christ? |
38162 | Do I say that all true Christians are equally happy? |
38162 | Do I say that real true Christians are equally happy at all times? |
38162 | Do I want them to come to the Lord''s Supper as they are? |
38162 | Do I wish them to come to the Lord''s Supper? |
38162 | Do tears rise unbidden in your eyes when you mark the empty places round the fireside? |
38162 | Do they hate the sins which Jesus died to put away? |
38162 | Do they take up too much of his thoughts and attention? |
38162 | Do we ever try to do any good to any one beside our own friends and relatives, and our own party or cause? |
38162 | Do we feel our hearts burn within us at the thought of His dying love? |
38162 | Do we feel that we are never so happy as when we are with the"excellent of the earth?" |
38162 | Do we find His name precious to us? |
38162 | Do we find it sweet to work for Christ, and yet groan being burdened by a feeble body? |
38162 | Do we find the world empty? |
38162 | Do we know anything of genuine Samaritan love to others? |
38162 | Do we know anything of it? |
38162 | Do we know better than God? |
38162 | Do we long for a world in which we need not to be always watching and warring? |
38162 | Do we long for entire conformity to the image of God? |
38162 | Do we long for the filling up of every void place and gap in our hearts? |
38162 | Do we not require our children to learn many things of which they can not see the meaning at first? |
38162 | Do we often feel"faint though pursuing?" |
38162 | Do we want_ a friend in need_? |
38162 | Do we want_ a loving and affectionate friend_? |
38162 | Do we want_ a mighty and powerful friend_? |
38162 | Do we want_ a tried and proved friend_? |
38162 | Do we wish to grow in grace and be very holy Christians? |
38162 | Do you ask the reason, of this name which the Bible gives to the company of all true Christians? |
38162 | Do you delight in the Bible? |
38162 | Do you doubt the truth of all I am saying? |
38162 | Do you feel labouring and heavy- laden? |
38162 | Do you feel lonely and desolate as every December comes round? |
38162 | Do you find few to pray with, few to praise with, few to open your heart to, few to exchange experience with? |
38162 | Do you find it essential to your comfort to read the Bible regularly in private, and to speak to God in prayer? |
38162 | Do you find nothing there to make you zealous,--to make you earnest about your soul? |
38162 | Do you know anything of feelings like these toward Jesus Christ? |
38162 | Do you know anything of the grace of which I have been speaking? |
38162 | Do you know what it is to come out from the world and be separate, or are you yet entangled by it, and conformed to it? |
38162 | Do you learn increasingly, that heaven is becoming every year more full and earth more empty? |
38162 | Do you loathe heart- sins, and fight against them? |
38162 | Do you long for perfect holiness, and follow hard after it? |
38162 | Do you love Christ''s people? |
38162 | Do you love Christ? |
38162 | Do you read it? |
38162 | Do you secretly think in your own mind that I take too gloomy a view of the world? |
38162 | Do you serve Christ? |
38162 | Do you think He does not desire to bring many sons to glory? |
38162 | Do you think that my assertions are extravagant and unwarrantable? |
38162 | Do you try to do good to the world? |
38162 | Do you want_ a friend in deed_? |
38162 | Do you wish to have a religion which will comfort you in life, give you good hope in death, and abide the judgment of God at the last day? |
38162 | Do you wrestle in prayer? |
38162 | Do you yourself really feel happy?" |
38162 | Do your fine new notions give you much comfort? |
38162 | Does Christmas, for instance, bring with it sorrowful feelings and painful associations? |
38162 | Does a man live in charity towards others? |
38162 | Does a man put his trust in Jesus Christ as his only hope of salvation? |
38162 | Does a man read or travel much? |
38162 | Does a man truly repent of sin and hate it? |
38162 | Does all around and before you seem bright, and cheerful, and happy? |
38162 | Does any man suppose that Jesus is not willing to see His garner filled? |
38162 | Does any reader desire to know the remedy against that love of self which ruined the rich man''s soul, and cleaves to us all by nature, like our skin? |
38162 | Does any reader of this paper desire a perfect Church? |
38162 | Does any reader of this paper want a real friend? |
38162 | Does anyone ask how and in what way Christ has obtained these mighty privileges for His people? |
38162 | Does he apply to ministers for a solution? |
38162 | Does he never feel pain, and shed no tears? |
38162 | Does he settle down quietly in some English or Scotch parish? |
38162 | Does this come home to you? |

38162 | Does this come home to you? |
38162 | Does this surprise any reader? |
38162 | Does your conscience tell you that you are one of the persons I speak of? |
38162 | Dost thou read it? |
38162 | First of all,_ what is this family_? |
38162 | For what do we declare at the Lord''s Supper? |
38162 | From whence will you fetch your consolations? |
38162 | HOW READEST THOU? |
38162 | HOW READEST THOU? |
38162 | HOW READEST THOU? |
38162 | Has any one little or no money who reads these pages? |
38162 | Has any one money who reads these pages? |
38162 | Has he a body only? |
38162 | Has he no anxieties and no troubles? |
38162 | Has he no doubts and no fears? |
38162 | Has he no sorrows and no cares? |
38162 | Has heart- religion even been popular in the professing Church of Christ during the last eighteen centuries? |
38162 | Has heart- religion ever been popular in our own land in days gone by? |
38162 | Hast thou a truly broken and contrite heart? |
38162 | Have I any home to look forward to in the world to come? |
38162 | Have I charity?" |
38162 | Have I put off the old man and put on the new? |
38162 | Have death, and sickness, and disappointment, and poverty, and family troubles, passed over your door up to this time, and not come in? |
38162 | Have they a secularizing effect on his soul? |
38162 | Have they a tendency to pull him down to earth? |
38162 | Have you a happy home? |
38162 | Have you any desire to prove the reality of your charity,--that blessed grace which so many talk of, and so few practise? |
38162 | Have you been born again? |
38162 | Have you come out from the world? |
38162 | Have you ever felt your sins, and repented of them? |
38162 | Have you forgotten that it is_ not fashionable_ to pray? |
38162 | Have you forgotten that it is_ not natural_ to any one to pray? |
38162 | Have you forgotten_ the deaths that many die_? |
38162 | Have you forgotten_ the lives that many live_? |
38162 | Have you made a covenant with death and hell? |
38162 | Have you no desire after heaven? |
38162 | Have you no fear of eternal torment? |
38162 | Have you no sins to be pardoned? |
38162 | Have you put off the old man, and put on the new? |
38162 | He can be touched with the feeling of your infirmities, for He suffered Himself being tempted.--Are you alone? |
38162 | He can look down even into the grave, as the wisest Greeks and Romans could never do, and say,"Oh, death, where is thy sting? |
38162 | He compels them to think, whether they like it or not--"What are we doing? |
38162 | He has a soul.--Has he sensual faculties only? |
38162 | He has the well of truth open before him, and what can he want more? |
38162 | He must try all religious teaching by one simple test,--Does it square with the Bible? |
38162 | He replied,--"If he sees us there, I am sure he will say, as he does now,--''What are these boys doing here? |
38162 | He said to Him,"Lord, are there few that be saved?" |
38162 | He who said to the man without the wedding garment,"Friend, how camest thou in hither?" |
38162 | He will be often asking himself, What must I believe? |
38162 | He will discover that different persons give the most different answers to the important question, What shall I do to be saved? |
38162 | He will simply ask, What saith the Scripture? |
38162 | Hear how He converses, as He dines on the shore of the sea of Galilee:"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me?" |
38162 | Hear what the prophet Isaiah says:"To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? |
38162 | High or low, rich or poor, master or servant, farmer or labourer, young or old, here is a question that deserves an answer,--_Are you really happy_? |
38162 | How can I do that which is most edifying to others?" |
38162 | How can I help to set them free?" |
38162 | How can it be explained? |
38162 | How can it be explained? |
38162 | How can it be, if He is to find wheat and chaff side by side in the day of His second coming? |
38162 | How can it show forth its gratitude? |
38162 | How can these things be?" |
38162 | How can we account for it? |
38162 | How can we do most good with our money while we are here? |
38162 | How can we expect to be saved by an"unknown"God? |
38162 | How can we so spend it as to leave the world somewhat happier and somewhat holier when we are removed? |
38162 | How can you possibly be happy in an eternal heaven, where holiness is all in all, and worldliness has no place? |
38162 | How could it do more? |
38162 | How could that man enjoy the meeting of true Christians in heaven who takes no pleasure in meeting true Christians on earth? |
38162 | How indeed will you escape if you neglect so great salvation? |
38162 | How is it with ourselves? |
38162 | How is it with you? |
38162 | How is it? |
38162 | How is this? |
38162 | How much Evangelical religion is completely unreal? |
38162 | How readest thou?" |
38162 | How shall a man make sure work of his own sonship? |
38162 | How shall he find out whether he is one that has come to Christ by faith and been born again? |
38162 | How shall man and God be brought together? |
38162 | How shall man ever draw near to his Maker without fear and shame? |
38162 | How shall we account for it? |
38162 | How shall we get through this valley of tears with least pain? |
38162 | How shall we learn to bear sickness patiently, when sickness comes to our turn? |
38162 | How then and when does this mighty change and translation come upon men? |
38162 | How then can we account for the strong language used in Scripture about it? |
38162 | How will they bear God''s inspection? |
38162 | I am sure it deserves an answer,"What will you do when you are ill?" |
38162 | I ask again, Where is your zeal for the glory of God? |
38162 | I ask him whether it be not true that nothing damages the cause of religion so much as"the world"? |
38162 | I ask whether you have gone up to it, knocked at it, been admitted, and_ are now inside_? |
38162 | I ask you, What will you do when you are ill? |
38162 | I ask you, then, in all affection, Where is your zeal in religion? |
38162 | I ask,_ Is this zeal?_ Would the apostles have been satisfied with such a state of things? |
38162 | I ask,_ Is this zeal?_ Would the apostles have been satisfied with such a state of things? |
38162 | I charge you, I summon you to give an honest answer to my question,--What art thou doing with the Bible?--Dost thou read it?--HOW READEST THOU? |
38162 | I charge you, I summon you to give me an honest answer this day,--What art thou doing with the Bible? |
38162 | I fear that heaven would be no place for an uncharitable and ill- tempered man!--What said a little boy one day? |
38162 | I mean such boldness as that of Joshua, when the children of Israel were defeated before Ai:"What,"says he,"wilt Thou do unto Thy great name?" |
38162 | I only ask, Is it not so? |
38162 | I put it to his conscience whether he did not see great landmarks and principles in it all the way through? |
38162 | I there find the inquiry made,"What is required of them who come to the Lord''s Supper?" |
38162 | I will now pass on to the last thing which I promised to consider.--_What are the future prospects_ of the whole family in heaven and earth? |
38162 | I will rather ask you whether you yourself may not be the cause why believers look grave and serious when you meet them? |
38162 | I would fain have no one lay down this paper unable to answer the questions,--"What practical lesson have I learned? |
38162 | If not, with what face shall we meet Him in the judgment day? |
38162 | If sickness can do the things of which I have been speaking( and who will gainsay it? |
38162 | If we carry our Master with us wherever we go, who can tell but we may"save some,"and get no harm? |
38162 | If you are not inside, what good have you got from your religion? |
38162 | If you have( and who will dare to deny it? |
38162 | In an age like this it is well to ask,"How do we do about our souls?" |
38162 | In such a matter the only point is, What saith the Scripture? |
38162 | In the face of truth like this no reader can feel surprised if I ask, How is it with our souls in the matter of Christ''s second coming? |
38162 | In the first place,_ why was the Lord''s Supper ordained_? |
38162 | In the second place, let me try to show_ who ought to be communicants_? |
38162 | In this matter also, how is it with our souls? |
38162 | Is Christ becoming every year more precious? |
38162 | Is communion with Christ like this a common thing? |
38162 | Is he alone in his position? |
38162 | Is he drowsy in soul? |
38162 | Is he ignorant? |
38162 | Is he in circumstances of special trial? |
38162 | Is he laden with many sins? |
38162 | Is he weak and cowardly? |
38162 | Is heart- religion popular in England at this very day? |
38162 | Is his heart hard and prone to evil? |
38162 | Is holiness becoming every year more lovely and desirable in your eyes? |
38162 | Is it condemned or approved by the Bible? |
38162 | Is it for nothing that He praises the good Samaritan, who denied himself to show kindness to a stranger? |
38162 | Is it for nothing that He says,"It is more blessed to give than to receive"? |
38162 | Is it for nothing that He says,"Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness"? |
38162 | Is it for nothing that He warns us against the example of the priest and Levite, who saw the wounded traveller, but passed by on the other side? |
38162 | Is it for nothing that St. Paul classes covetousness with sins of the grossest description, and denounces it as idolatry? |
38162 | Is it for nothing that in the parable of the sower He mentions the"deceitfulness of riches"as one reason why the seed of the Word bears no fruit? |
38162 | Is it for nothing that the Lord Jesus spoke the parable of the rich fool, and blamed him because he was not"rich towards God"? |
38162 | Is it genuine? |
38162 | Is it justified? |
38162 | Is it not for Thine honour that thy Gospel should increase?" |
38162 | Is it not for Thy glory that we should be sanctified? |
38162 | Is it not rather to be suspected that many have quite as much grace as they ask for? |
38162 | Is it not the true account of many, that they have little, because they ask little? |
38162 | Is it not very likely that they have nothing but the name of Christianity, without the reality; and a form of godliness, without the power? |
38162 | Is it pardoned? |
38162 | Is it prepared to meet God? |
38162 | Is it real? |
38162 | Is it real? |
38162 | Is it real? |
38162 | Is it true? |
38162 | Is not the actual amount of time that many Christians give to prayer in the aggregate very small? |
38162 | Is not this encouragement? |
38162 | Is not this encouragement? |
38162 | Is not this encouragement? |
38162 | Is not this encouragement? |
38162 | Is not this just what you see in the Apostle Paul? |
38162 | Is not this what you see in Paul at Antioch, when he withstood Peter to the face, and said he was to be blamed? |
38162 | Is not this what you see in Phinehas, the son of Eleazar?--or in Hezekiah and Josiah, when they put down idolatry? |
38162 | Is not this what you see in the Apostle Paul? |
38162 | Is not this what you see in the Lord Jesus? |
38162 | Is our religion real? |
38162 | Is our spirit often willing, but hampered and clogged by the poor weak flesh? |
38162 | Is sin becoming every year more hateful to you? |
38162 | Is sin the burden and bitterness of our lives? |
38162 | Is the little that we know of God and Christ, and the Bible precious to our souls, and do we long for more? |
38162 | Is the man an earnest man? |
38162 | Is the world a danger to the soul, or is it not? |
38162 | Is there literally nothing that you can do for the glory of God, and the benefit of your fellow- men? |
38162 | Is there no one in all the world that you can read to? |
38162 | Is there no one that you can speak to? |
38162 | Is there no one that you can write to? |
38162 | Is there no spiritual dwelling- place to which we may continually repair in this desolate world, and, repairing to it, find rest and peace? |
38162 | Is there none we can do good to? |
38162 | Is there not an unreal_ faith_? |
38162 | Is there not an unreal_ holiness_? |
38162 | Is there not an unreal_ humility_? |
38162 | Is there not an unreal_ love and charity_? |
38162 | Is there not an unreal_ repentance_? |
38162 | Is there not unreal_ praying_? |
38162 | Is there not unreal_ talking_ about religion? |
38162 | Is there not unreal_ worship_? |
38162 | Is this your religion? |
38162 | Is this your religion? |
38162 | Is this your religion? |
38162 | Is this your religion? |
38162 | Is your own Christianity real and true? |
38162 | Is your own religion real or unreal? |
38162 | It can awaken him.--Is he mourning? |
38162 | It can comfort him.--Is he erring? |
38162 | It can keep him from evil.--Is he alone? |
38162 | It can make him strong.--Is he in company? |
38162 | It can restore him.--Is he weak? |
38162 | It is a simple question, but a solemn one,--_Do you yet belong to the family of God_? |
38162 | It should set him thinking,--"How does this affect me? |
38162 | Last, but not least, do we want_ an unfailing friend_? |
38162 | Lay to heart the words of that noble- minded Jansenist, who said, when told that he ought to rest a little,"What should we rest for? |
38162 | Let me ask every one a plain question:"Are you free?" |
38162 | Let me show, in the second place,_ when a man can be called rightly zealous in religion_? |
38162 | Let me show, in the third place,_ why it is a good thing for a man to be zealous in religion_? |
38162 | Might it not rather be feared that many believers in this generation pray_ too little_? |
38162 | Might we not abridge some of our luxuries? |
38162 | Might we not lay out less upon ourselves, and give more to Christ''s cause and Christ''s poor? |
38162 | Must not many things be taken for granted in the beginning of every science, before we can proceed one step towards acquaintance with it? |
38162 | Nay, but, O man,"who art thou that repliest against God?" |
38162 | No wonder that holy Baxter sings,--"What if in prison I must dwell, May I not then converse with Thee? |
38162 | No.--Do they care for the souls which were so precious in His sight? |
38162 | No.--Do they delight in the word of reconciliation? |
38162 | No.--Do they love the Saviour who came into the world to save them? |
38162 | No.--Do they seek close fellowship with Him? |
38162 | No.--Do they try to speak with the Friend of sinners in prayer? |
38162 | No.--Oh, reader, is this your case? |
38162 | No: he has a thinking mind and a conscience!--Has he no consciousness of any world but that in which he lives and moves? |
38162 | Now how is this? |
38162 | Now is it reasonable to suppose that our Lord would appoint an ordinance for so simple a purpose as the"_ keeping His death in remembrance_"? |
38162 | Now is the view here stated the doctrine of the New Testament? |
38162 | Now what can we make of this great fact,--the universal prevalence of sickness? |
38162 | Now what has a self- righteous man to do with an ordinance like this? |
38162 | Now, how can we account for the difference which I have just described? |
38162 | Now, is it possible that such a daily sight should not give them grief? |
38162 | Now, what is the cause of most backsliding? |
38162 | Now, what is this glorious freedom? |
38162 | Now, what will your portion be? |
38162 | Now, where is the peculiar blessedness of this gathering? |
38162 | O grave, where is thy victory?" |
38162 | Of whom does it consist? |
38162 | Often, far too often, the only question asked about a man is,"How much is he worth?" |
38162 | Oh, prayerless man, who and what are you that you will not ask anything of God? |
38162 | Oh, when are you going to begin? |
38162 | On the right hand or on the left, in the day of judgment? |
38162 | On what do you mean to build your hope? |
38162 | On what do you mean to rest your soul? |
38162 | Once more I ask,"How do we do about our souls?" |
38162 | Once more I ask,"How do we do?" |
38162 | Once more I ask,--In the matter of communion with Christ,"How do we do?" |
38162 | Once more I ask,--In the matter of readiness for Christ''s second coming,"How do we do?" |
38162 | Once more I press my question on your conscience:"What will you do when you are ill?" |
38162 | Once more let us ask, in the matter of conversion,"How do we do?" |
38162 | Once more let us ask,--In the matter of forgiveness of sins,"How do we do?" |
38162 | Once more let us ask,--In the matter of holiness, how is it with our souls? |
38162 | Once more let us ask,--In the matter of means of grace,"How do we do?" |
38162 | Once more, then, I ask my readers to consider the question of my text,--"How do we do about our souls?" |
38162 | Or, do you find these practices irksome, and either slur them over, or neglect them altogether? |
38162 | Say to your soul, whenever you are tempted to that which is wrong,"Soul, soul, is this thy kindness to thy Friend?" |
38162 | Say to yourself often as you read,"What is all this about?" |
38162 | Secondly,_ what is its present position_? |
38162 | Settle it, for death is nigh, the Lord is at hand, and who can tell what a day might bring forth? |
38162 | Settle your thoughts on this one simple inquiry,--"Do I really trust in Christ, as a humble sinner? |
38162 | Shall our congregations be taught that even when people live and die in sin we may hope for their happiness in a remote future? |
38162 | Shall we admit the dangerous principle that words in Scripture do not mean what they appear to mean? |
38162 | Shall we be wise above that which is written? |
38162 | Shall you be gathered by the angels into God''s home when the Lord returns, or shall you be left behind? |
38162 | Should we not say, Why did you not steer by the great leading lights? |
38162 | Surely, we may well say,--"When the Son of man cometh, shall He find charity upon earth?" |
38162 | Texts are the guides we must never be ashamed to refer to in the present day.--"What saith the Scripture? |
38162 | The grand question is, Will you take it? |
38162 | The grand test of a man''s faith and religion is,"Does it make him happy?" |
38162 | The only question is,--Is the thing said Scriptural? |
38162 | The question is simply this,"Do you feel your sins? |
38162 | Their heart never turns to God with the solemn inquiry,--"Lord, is this my picture?--Lord, is it I?" |
38162 | Then, where is your grace? |
38162 | There are no such products in a natural man''s heart.--Did they come from the devil? |
38162 | There is but one point to be settled:"What says the Word of God?" |
38162 | There is but one question worth asking about our actions:"How will they look in the day of judgment?" |
38162 | They can look back on long years of carelessness and worldliness and say,--"Who shall lay anything to my charge?" |
38162 | They can not answer the question,"Who are those whom Christ effectually makes free?" |
38162 | They can stand by the side of an open grave, and say,"O death, where is thy sting? |
38162 | They feel as if He had said to each one of them,"Wilt thou be my son?" |
38162 | They will have to die and appear before the bar of God, and be judged; and then what will the end be? |
38162 | Think of them all, and often say to yourself,--"What can I do for them? |
38162 | Thirdly,_ what are its future prospects_? |
38162 | This is the Deist''s creed.--Now, shall we listen to this doctrine? |
38162 | Though he may deceive neighbours, acquaintances, fellow- worshippers, and ministers with a form of godliness, does he think that he can deceive God? |
38162 | True charity is not always asking,--"What are my rights? |
38162 | Turn ye, turn ye: why will ye die?" |
38162 | V. Do we want_ a wise and prudent friend_? |
38162 | Was He obliged to do this? |
38162 | Was heart- religion popular in New Testament times? |
38162 | Was heart- religion popular in Old Testament times? |
38162 | Was that all? |
38162 | Was the Lord Jesus Christ obliged to come down to save us? |
38162 | We do not plead as often as we might,"Lord, are we not Thine own people? |
38162 | Were their members continuing steadfast in the faith? |
38162 | Were they going forward, or standing still? |
38162 | Were they growing in grace? |
38162 | Were they not in earnest? |
38162 | What account can we give of it? |

38162 | _ Who are the wheat in the world?_ This is a point which demands special consideration. |
38162 | _ Why is this"gathering together"of true Christians a thing to be desired?_ Let us try to get an answer to that question. |
38162 | and what do we know of Him? |
38162 | and what do we think of Him? |
38162 | and what must I do? |
38162 | but,"How can I best promote peace? |
38162 | genuine or base? |

38162 | oh, eternity, where are thy terrors?" |
38162 | oh, grave, where is thy victory? |
38162 | or nominal and base? |
38162 | she replied.--''But why does the uncertainty of another state give you no concern?'' |
38162 | they say:"If this is not Christianity, what is?" |
38162 | to yourself or to Christ? |
38162 | we may well ask,--"Where is love? |
38162 | where is the mind of Christ?" |
9057 | And wherefore should he not be so far the God of the dead, if during the time allotted to them here, he was the faithful God of the living? |
9057 | Are our enemies men like ourselves? |
9057 | But is not this dangerous doctrine? 9057 But is there not the worst of all dangers involved in such teaching-- the danger of spiritual pride?" |
9057 | Can we not, then, understand them? |
9057 | Does the Lord then mean that the_ reason_ for not laying up such treasures is their transitory and corruptible nature? |
9057 | In virtue of cruelty, heartlessness, injustice, disrespect, misrepresentation? |
9057 | Is this humanity in every one of our enemies? |
9057 | May it not then hurt to say that God is Love, all love, and nothing other than love? 9057 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
9057 | Of course the heart will be where the treasure is; but what has that to do with the argument? |
9057 | Upon what ground? 9057 Was he not to eat when it came in his way? |
9057 | Who is my neighbour? |
9057 | Why not lay up for ourselves treasures upon earth? |
9057 | Why? 9057 With what body do they come?" |
9057 | Yes; but why should I love him for that? 9057 ''All these things have I observed: what lack I yet?'' 9057 ''Behold,''he cries,''I am vile; what shall I answer thee? 9057 ''But how can God bring this about in me?'' 9057 ''But how is one to tell whether it be in truth the spirit of God that is speaking in a man?'' 9057 ''But if I do not want it?'' 9057 ''But what is the good of all you say, if the child is such that the father can not take him to his heart?'' 9057 ''But you are evil: how can you be a child of the Good?'' 9057 ''But, I ask, all this admitted-- is what you call a necessary truth an existent fact? 9057 ''But,''I ask insisting,''does your answer imply that, counting the Lord a hard master, you have taken the less pains to do as he would have you? 9057 ''But,''again it may well be asked,''whence then has sprung the undeniable potency of that teaching?'' 9057 ''Do we not well to be angry?'' 9057 ''Do you dislike him?'' 9057 ''Do you love him as yourself?'' 9057 ''Do you not, then, know that, when God denies anything a child of his values, it is to give him something_ he_ values?'' 9057 ''Do you put faith in_ him_,''I ask,''or in the doctrines and commandments of men?'' 9057 ''Does this comfort you? 9057 ''Good Master,''said the kneeling youth, and is interrupted by the Master:--''Why callest thou me good?'' 9057 ''Have we not asked from thee a sign from heaven, and hast thou not pointblank refused it?'' 9057 ''He punishes, and having punished he forgives?'' 9057 ''How am I to know that a thing is true?'' 9057 ''How could he be a just God and not punish sin?'' 9057 ''How so?'' 9057 ''I said it:''said what? 9057 ''If it makes you happy to love,''they say,''where is your merit? 9057 ''Is God then not my Father,''cries the heart of the child,''that I need to be adopted by him? 9057 ''Is it good that He should search you out? 9057 ''Is it something you have to do this very moment?'' 9057 ''Is not wealth power?'' 9057 ''Is the man so freed from the dominion of things? 9057 ''Must it not be in order to give you something instead?'' 9057 ''Pray, what is it?'' 9057 ''Shall not his excellency''--another thing quite than that you admire--''make you afraid? 9057 ''Still, could not God have given the gift without the prayer? 9057 ''That which was made_ in_ him was_ life_''What does this mean? 9057 ''The sum of all this is that you do not believe in the atonement?'' 9057 ''Then how can he tell us to forgive it?'' 9057 ''Then why doubt you shall have it?'' 9057 ''Then why not forgive him at once if the punishment is not essential-- if part can be pretermitted? 9057 ''Then you dare to say the apostle is wrong in what he so plainly teaches?'' 9057 ''Then you mean that it is wrong to punish sin, therefore God does not punish sin?'' 9057 ''Then,''I return,''why are_ you_ so miserable? 9057 ''True; what of that?'' 9057 ''What atonement is there?'' 9057 ''What can this mean?--we are not to thwart, but to abandon? 9057 ''What good thing shall I do,''he says,''that I may have eternal life?'' 9057 ''What is a prophet without honour?'' 9057 ''What, would you have us not weep?'' 9057 ''Wherein then lies the service of Death? 9057 ''Which?'' 9057 ''Why ask me about the good thing? 9057 ''Why callest thou me good? 9057 ''Why should he?'' 9057 ''Will you then take from me my faith, and help me to no other?'' 9057 ''Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? 9057 --_be special pleaders for him, his partisains_? 9057 --_saying what you do not think_? 9057 --_siding with Him against me?_''Will ye contend for God?'' 9057 --_siding with Him against me?_''Will ye contend for God?'' 9057 --_that the way I have gone may be known by my footprints!_ To his friends he cries:''Will ye speak wickedly for God? 9057 --the true question is forgotten:''Have I left all to follow him?'' 9057 After that how much will they learn of him? 9057 Am I going to die? 9057 Am I going to do a good deed? 9057 Am I in pain? 9057 Am I not a fool whenever loss troubles me more than recovery would gladden? 9057 Am I not his to begin with? 9057 Am I not refusing to acknowledge the child of the kingdom within his bosom, so killing the child of the kingdom within my own? |
9057 | And again, can that be required which, according to your showing, is not adequate? |
9057 | And as to trusting in your riches-- who ever imagined he could have eternal life by his riches? |
9057 | And did not the bread come in his way, when his power met that which could be changed into it?" |
9057 | And do not our hearts revolt against the thought of it? |
9057 | And does not_ the heart_ mean more than the heart? |
9057 | And how in such a condition do we generally act? |
9057 | And how now would he go on with his keeping of the commandments? |
9057 | And how should I see him if I could not see you? |
9057 | And if I am not in the image of God, how can the word of God be of any meaning to me? |
9057 | And if he could, would the creature be the greater for that? |
9057 | And if they are aware of God, they are conscious of their own being: Whence then the necessity of a resurrection?" |
9057 | And if thou forgivest, will not thy forgiveness find its way at last in redemption and purification? |
9057 | And if we do not judge-- humbly and lovingly-- who is to judge for us? |
9057 | And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? |
9057 | And if you do, let me ask further, Was Jesus ever less divine than God? |
9057 | And is not God ready to do unto them even as they fear, though with another feeling and a different end from any which they are capable of supposing? |
9057 | And is not this when the heart is glad and the face is radiant? |
9057 | And now arises the question upon the right answer to which depends the whole elucidation of the story:_ How could the Son of God be tempted_? |
9057 | And shall we dare to think God would send us away if we came thus, and would not be pleased that we came, even if we were angry as Jonah? |
9057 | And this brings me to the question, What is meant by divine justice? |
9057 | And to whom shall a man, whom the blessed God has made, look for what he likes best, but to that blessed God? |
9057 | And what shall we say of the man Christ Jesus? |
9057 | And who, because he knows and laments the guile in himself, will dare deny that there was once a Nathanael in the world? |
9057 | And why are we told that these treasures are_ hid_ in him who is the_ Revelation_ of God? |
9057 | And why should the good of any one depend on the prayer of another?'' |
9057 | And will he not grow arrogant in his confidence?" |
9057 | Are not we the clay, and he the potter? |
9057 | Are there not mingled with it shadows of the best truth in the universe? |
9057 | Are they not hid in him that they may be revealed to us in due time-- that is, when we are in need of them? |
9057 | Are we ashamed of not having been open and clear? |
9057 | Are we careful to be true? |
9057 | Are we fighting the evil thing which is our temptation to hypocrisy? |
9057 | Are you being ware of covetousness? |
9057 | Are you hungering and thirsting after righteousness? |
9057 | Are you meant to be silent? |
9057 | Are you seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness before all other things? |
9057 | Are you then one on whom, because of correspondent condition, the same command could be laid? |
9057 | Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong? |
9057 | Art thou willing for the truth whatever it be? |
9057 | As a simple illustration: What notion should we have of the unchanging and unchangeable, without the solidity of matter? |
9057 | Away to the outer darkness"? |
9057 | Besides, am I not a Christian already? |
9057 | Bound thou mayest be to destroy evil, but art thou bound to keep the sinner alive that thou mayest punish him, even if it make him no better? |
9057 | Brothers, have you found our king? |
9057 | But I have reason to doubt whether you are capable of judging righteously in your own cause:--do you hate the man?'' |
9057 | But again I must ask, What if_ we_ are in the wrong and do the wrong, and hate because we have injured? |
9057 | But again the Lord takes hold of the word_ good_:--''Why askest thou me concerning that which is good?'' |
9057 | But are these the man? |
9057 | But asserting that these were real temptations if the story is to be received at all, am I not involving myself in a greater difficulty still? |
9057 | But at length, O God, wilt thou not cast Death and Hell into the lake of Fire-- even into thine own consuming self? |
9057 | But can a man really fall into such a condition of spiritual depravity? |
9057 | But could it even then have been conveyed to the human mind in merely intellectual forms? |
9057 | But does not all evil come from good? |
9057 | But faith in what? |
9057 | But he was the_ Son_ of God: what was his_ Father''s_ will? |
9057 | But how can any share exist where all is open? |
9057 | But how would he, thus conquering, be a servant of Satan? |
9057 | But if he means,''Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?'' |
9057 | But if love stop there, what will be the result? |
9057 | But if my son or daughter be gone from me for a season, should not the coming of their mother comfort me? |
9057 | But if thou look not upon me, how can I ever be other than I am? |
9057 | But indeed how should you be able to know? |
9057 | But is God able to do anything more with the man? |
9057 | But is he worthy the name of man who, for the fear of starvation, will do better work than for the joy that his labour is not in vain in the Lord? |
9057 | But is it reasonable to expect that man should become capable of doing so? |
9057 | But is the reality intended, less or more than the figure? |
9057 | But is there no meaning in the word_ keep_, or_ observe_, except it be qualified by_ perfectly_? |
9057 | But may there not be other powers and means of the Spirit preparatory to this its highest office with man? |
9057 | But to put God to the question in any other way than by saying, What wilt thou have me to do? |
9057 | But what is to be done when all feeling is gone? |
9057 | But who is sufficient to cast them out? |
9057 | But why should I seek in vain to comfort you? |
9057 | But would not the shadow of repentant grief, the light of reviving love on his countenance, heal it at once however deep? |
9057 | But, if you ate straitened in your own mammon- worshipping soul, how shall you believe in a God any greater than can stand up in that prison- chamber? |
9057 | Can care be a better inspirer of labour than the sending of God? |
9057 | Can it be an easier thing to call into life than to keep alive? |
9057 | Can the cleansing of the fire appear to them anything beyond what it must always, more or less, be-- a process of torture? |
9057 | Can the human twilight of a dream be capable of generating or holding a fuller life than the morning of divine activity? |
9057 | Can there be any way out of the misery? |
9057 | Can we doubt that to come a moment sooner would have been to delay, not to expedite, his kingdom? |
9057 | Can you deny that that person is unlovely? |
9057 | Can you not believe in God himself? |
9057 | Certain as life they will have absolute justice, that is, fairness, but what will that avail, if they enter not into the kingdom? |
9057 | Changed from what? |
9057 | Changed into what? |
9057 | Child as she was, might he not have said to her,"I do not condemn thee: go and sin no more"? |
9057 | Could a creator make a creature whose well- being should not depend on himself? |
9057 | Could he not mould the people at his will? |
9057 | Could he not, transfigured in his snowy garments, call aloud in the streets of Jerusalem,"Behold your King?" |
9057 | Could his forgiveness be the same as in the former case? |
9057 | Could there be true love in any other kind of forgiveness than this? |
9057 | Could this be all that lay between him and entering into life? |
9057 | Could we ever have come to know good as thou knowest it, save by passing through the sea of sin and the fire of cleansing? |
9057 | Dares any man suppose that Jesus would have him hate the traitor through whom he came to the cross? |
9057 | Did he not hold to that assertion to the last, in the face of contradiction and death? |
9057 | Did he not insist on the one truth of the universe, the one saving truth, that God was just what he was? |
9057 | Did he not thus lay down his life persuading us to lay down ours at the feet of the Father? |
9057 | Did he not, however unintentionally, lay it on their hearts? |
9057 | Did he show the child a next step on the stair too high for him to set his foot upon? |
9057 | Did he speak in anger at the treachery of his apostle to himself, or in pity for the man that had better not have been born? |
9057 | Did he tell an untruth? |
9057 | Did he understand his own being, history, and destiny? |
9057 | Did his sisters, supposing them again left behind him in the world, make the same lamentations over him as the former time he went? |
9057 | Did not all he made move the delight of the beholding man? |
9057 | Did not the Lord cast himself into the eternal gulf of evil yawning between the children and the Father? |
9057 | Did such things foreshadow injustice towards the creature he had made in his image? |
9057 | Did that veil hide Moses''s face only? |
9057 | Did the Lord speak out of personal indignation, or did he utter a spiritual fact, a live principle? |
9057 | Did the word spring from his knowledge of some fearful punishment awaiting Judas, or from his sense of the horror it was to be such a man? |
9057 | Did they not know that he was not lost?--that he was with the Master, who had himself seemed lost for a few days, but came again? |
9057 | Did you set yourself to judge righteous judgment? |
9057 | Do not even the publicans as much as that? |
9057 | Do they lie beyond the sphere of his responsibility? |
9057 | Do those who say, lo here or lo there are the signs of his coming, think to be too keen for him, and spy his approach? |
9057 | Do we carry ourselves in bank, on farm, in house or shop, in study or chamber or workshop, as the Lord would, or as the Lord would not? |
9057 | Do we endeavour to live to the height of our ideas? |
9057 | Do we not sit mourning over the loss of our feelings? |
9057 | Do you ask,''What is faith in him?'' |
9057 | Do you count it a great faith to believe what God has said? |
9057 | Do you not care to be imperfect? |
9057 | Do you not mourn that you can not trust in him as you would, that you find it too hard? |
9057 | Do you say,''But he would not respond, he would not obey!''? |
9057 | Do you suppose he ever gave a commandment knowing it was of no use for it could not be done? |
9057 | Does God care about it? |
9057 | Does God care for suns and planets and satellites, for divine mathematics and ordered harmonies, more than for his children? |
9057 | Does God then not know what a man is going to become? |
9057 | Does a woman bear that form in virtue of these? |
9057 | Does it affect anyone to the lowering of his idea of the Master that he should ever be angry? |
9057 | Does it follow that_ working no ill_ is love? |
9057 | Does it not also help us to think of him in all our affairs, and learn in everything to give thanks? |
9057 | Does it not lead us up hither: that the devotion of God to his creatures is perfect? |
9057 | Does it not mean a deeper heart, the heart of your own self, not of your body? |
9057 | Does not_ the rust and the moth_ mean more than disease? |
9057 | Does that mean, then, that for an unjust word I deserve to suffer to all eternity? |
9057 | Does the Lord mean that everything a man has ever done or thought must be laid bare to the universe? |
9057 | Even had you laid the suffering upon yourself, what did that do to make up for the wrong? |
9057 | Even while this righteousness is being born in him, the man will say to himself,''Why should I be troubled about this thing or that? |
9057 | For God is nigher to the man than is anything God has made: what can be closer than the making and the made? |
9057 | For God was his God still, although he had forsaken him-- forsaken_ his vision_ that his faith might glow out triumphant; forsaken_ himself_? |
9057 | For are we not all thine-- utterly thine? |
9057 | For do we not say on earth,"He is not himself to- day,"or"She looks her own self;""She is more like herself than I have seen her for long"? |
9057 | For how can he give into the soul of a man what it needs, while that soul can not receive it? |
9057 | For how could the Son of God be tempted with evil-- with that which must to him appear in its true colours of discord, its true shapes of deformity? |
9057 | For how shall he be forgiven? |
9057 | For if their moans, myriads of ages away, would turn heaven for us into hell-- shall a man be more merciful than God? |
9057 | For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? |
9057 | For is not that the divine way? |
9057 | For the Human Being may say thus with himself:"Am I going to sleep-- to lose consciousness-- to be helpless for a time-- thoughtless-- dead? |
9057 | For the good that comes to him, he gives no thanks-- who is there to thank? |
9057 | For what revelation, other than a partial, can the highest spiritual condition receive of the infinite God? |
9057 | For when is the child the ideal child in our eyes and to our hearts? |
9057 | For, when we say that God is Love, do we teach men that their fear of him is groundless? |
9057 | From this disappointment came, it seems to me, that sorrowful sigh,''Nevertheless, when the son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?'' |
9057 | Go away, and be good, and then come to me?" |
9057 | God is all right-- why should we mind standing in the dark for a minute outside his window? |
9057 | God''s creation by man''s imagination? |
9057 | God''s giving by man''s asking? |
9057 | Had he done no more for them than this? |
9057 | Had the Lord_ not_ said so, what man of common moral sense would ever dare say otherwise? |
9057 | Has he himself no room for choice-- therefore can give none? |
9057 | Has he indeed nothing to do with such? |
9057 | Have I failed in love to my neighbour? |
9057 | Have I had justice done me? |
9057 | Have I injured anyone? |
9057 | Have we not heard of those, thine own, taught of thee, who could easily forgive their betrayers in thy name? |
9057 | Have you begun to leave all and follow him? |
9057 | Have you dismissed, once dismissed, an anxious thought for the morrow? |
9057 | Have you forgiven your enemy? |
9057 | Have you given to some one that asked of you? |
9057 | Have you ministered to any needy soul or body, and kept your right hand from knowing what your left hand did? |
9057 | Have you, in any sense like that in which the youth answered the question, kept the commandments? |
9057 | Having made it, why does he seem to check himself with a sigh, adding, Howbeit when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?'' |
9057 | Having the elder brother, could they not do for a little while without the younger? |
9057 | He allows his child to pull his toys to pieces; but were they made that he might pull them to pieces? |
9057 | He gives himself to us-- shall not we give ourselves to him? |
9057 | He had said something for the sake of the multitude; what was it? |
9057 | He has made and appointed them to cry: they do cry: will he not hear them? |
9057 | He himself says,"Why do ye not of your own selves judge what is right?" |
9057 | He is apt to ask,"Why should it be difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven?" |
9057 | He is ready to look upon the natural fact as an arbitrary decree, arising, shall I say? |
9057 | He lets her know that he and she have different outlooks, different notions of his work:''What to me and thee, woman?'' |
9057 | He may come to do good to them that hate him; but when will he pray for them that despitefully use him and persecute him? |
9057 | He might at any moment appear: who, I ask, would be the first to receive him? |
9057 | He might give back a brother to sisters who were favourites with him, but no such gift is to be counted upon? |
9057 | He recalls the words of our Lord,"If ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?" |
9057 | He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? |
9057 | He was the Son of God: why should not the sons of God know it? |
9057 | Hence is he of necessity in profoundest perplexity, for how can the two things be reconciled? |
9057 | Here is a book of faith indeed, ere the law was given by Moses: Grace and Truth have visited us-- but where is our faith? |
9057 | Here was a nation at its lowest: could it receive anything but a partial revelation, a revelation of fear? |
9057 | His power? |
9057 | His whole heart would respond to the cry of sad publican or despairing pharisee,''How am I to be good?'' |
9057 | How abandon, without thwarting?'' |
9057 | How am I to become a man worth being a man?'' |
9057 | How am I to judge of it? |
9057 | How am I to know the thing as he says he knows it? |
9057 | How are we to believe such a thing? |
9057 | How are you to believe he will do his part by you, while you are not such as to do your part by him? |
9057 | How are you to believe while you are not faithful? |
9057 | How can he go on sending forth his life into irreclaimable souls, to keep sin alive in them throughout the ages of eternity? |
9057 | How can they who will not repent be forgiven, save in the sense that God does and will do all he can to make them repent? |
9057 | How can you, not caring to_ be_ true, judge concerning him whose life was to do for very love the things you confess your duty, yet do them not? |
9057 | How could Satan be so foolish? |
9057 | How could a God pour out his being to uphold the merest waste of his creatures? |
9057 | How could a rich man believe he would be of more value without his money? |
9057 | How could he be Father, who creating, would not make provision, would not keep room for the babbled prayers of his children? |
9057 | How could it make up to me for the stealing of my watch that the man was punished? |
9057 | How could the Revisers choose this last reading,''an heir through God,''and keep the word_ adoption_? |
9057 | How did it come ever to be imagined? |
9057 | How do you know that he did not hear you? |
9057 | How else can I regard them? |
9057 | How hard? |
9057 | How have we learned Christ? |
9057 | How is it that he who receives the Son receives the Father? |
9057 | How many care that they are not? |
9057 | How many know that they are not? |
9057 | How many_ Christians_ are? |
9057 | How otherwise than by rebuking and quelling their anxiety, could those words have made them see what then they saw? |
9057 | How shall the rose, the glowing heart of the summer heats, rejoice against the snowdrop risen with hanging head from the white bosom of the snow? |
9057 | How should he be righteous without owing us anything? |
9057 | How should he effect this if he were_ always_ moving us from within, as he does at divine intervals, towards the beauty of holiness? |
9057 | How should they think of purification by fire? |
9057 | How should you be capable of trusting in the true one while you are nowise true to him? |
9057 | How should you understand? |
9057 | How then can you love him?" |
9057 | How to receive him? |
9057 | How was he to comfort them? |
9057 | How would Jesus have received the confession of the darling? |
9057 | How would the Lord have been buried but for the rich Joseph? |
9057 | How would the man interpret it? |
9057 | How would there be any right for the judge of all the earth to do if he owed nothing? |
9057 | How, I say, should you be capable of trusting in him? |
9057 | How, through all this mass of falsehood, could the pardon of God reach the essential humanity within it? |
9057 | How? |
9057 | Howbeit when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?'' |
9057 | I answer, What if he knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? |
9057 | I ask,"Did he not look like other children?" |
9057 | I can not tell how, but may not those prayers in some way increase God''s opportunity for working his best and highest will? |
9057 | I can only answer with the return question,''Why should my love be powerless to help another?'' |
9057 | I can well imagine an honest youth, educated in Christian forms, thus reasoning with himself:--''Is the story of general relation? |
9057 | I do not say he was not able; I say-- Are we bound to believe he was able? |
9057 | I may forgive him, but is the wrong removed? |
9057 | I may move my arm as I please: shall God be unable so to move his? |
9057 | I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second hand? |
9057 | I say then to the youth:--''Have you kept-- have you been keeping the commandments?'' |
9057 | I should still have a claim upon him for my watch, but should I not be apt to forget it? |
9057 | I suppose he will allow that there was a man named Jesus, who died for the truth he taught: can he believe he died for such alleged truth as that? |
9057 | I think it would better be,''Why dost thou ask me concerning& c.?''] |
9057 | If God appeared to us, how could he say,"I forgive you,"while we remained unforgiving to our neighbour? |
9057 | If I ask you why, will not the true answer be--"Because we are not quite sure that he did say it"? |
9057 | If I make up my mind to be a Christian, shall I be required to part with all I possess? |
9057 | If Job could not search his understanding in these things, why should he conclude his own case wrapt in the gloom of injustice? |
9057 | If a man can not trust him for this, what claim can he make to faith in him? |
9057 | If a man die, shall he live again? |
9057 | If he came thus, in form altogether unlooked for, who would they be that recognized and received him? |
9057 | If he could, and did not, must it not be as well as, yes, better than if he did? |
9057 | If he has determined the being, how shall any mode of that being be hidden from him? |
9057 | If he means,''What plan wilt thou adopt? |
9057 | If his glory be in giving himself, and we must share therein, giving ourselves, why should we not begin here and now? |
9057 | If it be_ Things_ that slay you, what matter whether things you have, or things you have not? |
9057 | If it were, how many of us are such as God would choose to represent his thoughts and intents by our opinions concerning them? |
9057 | If my friend has wronged me, will it console me to see him punished? |
9057 | If not of the leaven of bread, how did the reference to those miracles of bread make them recognize the fact? |
9057 | If of them I should ask,''How comes it that such opinions are held concerning the Holy One, whose ways you take upon you to set forth?'' |
9057 | If such answer came, who that loved would not be content to be nowhere in the matter? |
9057 | If the Spirit of God is shut out from his heart, how is he to become better? |
9057 | If the things I have here come from him, and are so plainly but a beginning, shall I not take them as an earnest of the better to follow? |
9057 | If the woman who touched the hem of his garment had trusted in the garment and not in him who wore it, would she have been healed? |
9057 | If then the poor starved child cry--''How, Lord?'' |
9057 | If there be, are we to refuse the spirit for fear of the pride? |
9057 | If they did, if they fell again into that passion of grief, lamenting and moaning and refusing to be comforted, what would you say of them? |
9057 | If this thing be good, will he not give it me? |
9057 | If we did not make, could not have made ourselves, how can we, now we are made, do anything at the unknown roots of our being? |
9057 | If you say it is a worse offence, I say, Is it too bad for the forgiveness of God? |
9057 | If you say''In him,''--''Is it then possible,''I return,''that you do not see that, above all things and all thoughts, you are bound to obey him?'' |
9057 | If you think of ten thousand things that are good and worth having, what is it that makes them good or worth having but the God in them? |
9057 | If, such as we are, we had nothing solid about us, where would be our thinking about God and truth and law? |
9057 | In God shall we imagine a distinction of office and character? |
9057 | In a word, He came to supply all our lack-- from the root outward; for what is it we need but more life? |
9057 | In such high affairs as the rights of a live soul, might not matters be involved too high for Job? |
9057 | In this world power is no_ proof_ of righteousness; but was it likely that he who could create should be unrighteous? |
9057 | In whom do I live and move and have my being? |
9057 | Is Christianity a system of articles of belief, let them be correct as language can give them? |
9057 | Is Christianity capable of being represented by opinion, even the best? |
9057 | Is God not my very own Father? |
9057 | Is all that remains to be lost? |
9057 | Is every Christian expected to bear witness? |
9057 | Is everything in the story of Christ''s life on earth good news? |
9057 | Is he but the prisoned steam in the engine, pushing, escaping, stopped-- his way ordered by valve and piston? |
9057 | Is he my Father only in a sort or fashion-- by a legal contrivance? |
9057 | Is he not defeated every time that one of those lost souls defies him? |
9057 | Is he not the High Priest of his brethren, to answer all the troubled questionings that arise in their dim humanity? |
9057 | Is he not the Truth?--the Truth to men? |
9057 | Is he not the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world? |
9057 | Is his perfection a mechanical one? |
9057 | Is his spirit dwelling in me? |
9057 | Is it a good thing?'' |
9057 | Is it a truth that water freezes at thirty- two degrees? |
9057 | Is it good news that he came to his own, and his own received him not? |
9057 | Is it good news that the one only good man was served by his fellow- men as Jesus was served-- cast out of the world in torture and shame? |
9057 | Is it not impossible that I should behold the final goodness of good, the final evilness of evil? |
9057 | Is it not perfect response to his parents? |
9057 | Is it not proof-- this complaint of my heart at the word_ Adoption_? |
9057 | Is it not that Love may grow lord of all between him and me? |
9057 | Is it not the carrying out of the law, the infliction of penalty assigned to offence? |
9057 | Is it not the spirit of the child, crying out,"Abba, Father"?'' |
9057 | Is it not time I lost a few things when I care for them so unreasonably? |
9057 | Is it not what he has been putting forth his energy to give them ever since first he began them to be-- the divine nature, God himself? |
9057 | Is it not when with gentle hand he takes his father by the beard, and turns that father''s face up to his brothers and sisters to kiss? |
9057 | Is it of his perfection that he should have no scope, no freedom? |
9057 | Is it possible that, so far as you are concerned, Lazarus might as well not have risen? |
9057 | Is it that we should despair of finding them and cease to seek them? |
9057 | Is it then reasonable to love our enemies? |
9057 | Is not a man''s soul, as it dwells in his body, a dim- shadowing type of God in and throughout his universe? |
9057 | Is not the design of the first course of his children''s education just to bring them to the point where they shall pray? |
9057 | Is not the dumb cry to be read in the faces of some of the animals, in the look of some of the flowers, and in many an aspect of what we call Nature? |
9057 | Is not their birthright what he made them for, made in them when he made them? |
9057 | Is not their hiding in him the mediatorial step towards their unfolding in us? |
9057 | Is not this at length_ too_ much to expect? |
9057 | Is not this to be Satan? |
9057 | Is not this to be worse than worst Of those that lawless and incertain thoughts Imagine howling? |
9057 | Is our life, then, a witnessing to the truth? |
9057 | Is oxygen- and- hydrogen the divine idea of water? |
9057 | Is that the Godhood, and its relation to those who worship it? |
9057 | Is the Lord supposed to teach that for a man who trusts in his riches it is_ possible_ to enter the kingdom? |
9057 | Is the converse true then? |
9057 | Is the fulfilling of the law love? |
9057 | Is the man a coward who will not fling his child to the wolves? |
9057 | Is the one idea of creation the begetting of a free, grand, divine will in us? |
9057 | Is there any gospel in telling me that God is unjust, but that there is a way of deliverance from him? |
9057 | Is there here any paradox? |
9057 | Is there no keeping but a perfect keeping? |
9057 | Is there selfishness in the Lord''s seeing of the travail of his soul and being satisfied? |
9057 | Is there then anything you will not leave for Christ? |
9057 | Is this demand made upon me? |
9057 | It is a place of prayer, a place of praise, a place to feed upon good things, a place to learn of God, as what place is not? |
9057 | It is enough; let me now return whence I came; let me be gathered to my fathers and be at rest!''? |
9057 | It is hard enough to be just to our friends; and how shall our enemies fare with us? |
9057 | It is not directly for justice, else how could he show mercy, for that would involve injustice? |
9057 | It is not to cease to love them,''for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?'' |
9057 | It might be the right way for creatures to love because of mere existence, but what two creatures would ever have originated the loving? |
9057 | It might prove so far the presence of a God; but would it prove that God? |
9057 | Knowing that you do not heed his word, why should I heed your explanation of it? |
9057 | Law? |
9057 | Let a man have committed any sin whatever, I forgive him; but to choose to go on sinning-- how can I forgive that? |
9057 | Let me then ask, do you believe in the Incarnation? |
9057 | Let us say to the Lord,''Jesus, art thou loving the Father in there? |
9057 | Lord, remember I was born in sin: how then can I see sin as thou seest it? |
9057 | Love will fulfil the law: will the law fulfil love? |
9057 | Man''s first business is,"What does God want me to do?" |
9057 | May a man become strong in righteousness without learning to speak the truth to his neighbour? |
9057 | May he not at least expedite something for our prayers? |
9057 | May there not be a fire that even such can feel? |
9057 | Might he not feel the keeping of them more imperative than ever, yet impossible without something he had not? |
9057 | Might he not trust him to do him justice? |
9057 | Much as he may love him, can a man adopt a dog? |
9057 | Must he not have known, felt, imagined, rejoiced in things that would not be told in human words, could not be understood by human hearts? |
9057 | Must they be absolutely miserable without him? |
9057 | My thought must lie open to him: if he makes me think, how can I elude him in thinking? |
9057 | Naturally, in his failure, the question arises,"Is it my duty to love him who is unlovable?" |
9057 | Neither Pilate nor they ask the one true question,''How am I to be a true man? |
9057 | No answer will do for him but the answer that God only can give; for who but God can justify God''s ways to his creature? |
9057 | No man can do yet what he tells him aright-- but are you trying? |
9057 | No man is so tied by divine law that he can nowise modify his work: shall God not modify his? |
9057 | No; how should you? |
9057 | Nor is it merely that he made me: by whose power do I go on living? |
9057 | Now what is the deepest in God? |
9057 | Of what use then is the law? |
9057 | On what does the Lord found this his accusation of them? |
9057 | Or are we mean, self- serving, world- flattering, fawning slaves? |
9057 | Or did the Father look out upon him in answer to his_ My God_, and the blessedness of it make him cry aloud because he could not smile? |
9057 | Or has God put the two together only that man might separate and find them out? |
9057 | Or have I forgotten a thought that came to me, which seemed of the truth, and a revealment to my heart? |
9057 | Or how could he then be the Son of his Father who can not be tempted with evil? |
9057 | Or how is the man ever to get out of this condition? |
9057 | Or is there any other deliverance from pride except the spirit? |
9057 | Or was it but the last wrench of pain ere the final repose began? |
9057 | Or why is it but the cold frost of use and forgetting that makes you less miserable than you were a year ago?'' |
9057 | Or will they rejoice to find that we were not so much to be blamed as they thought, in this thing or that which gave them trouble? |
9057 | Or, confess,--do you not find it so hard to believe what he has said, that even that is almost more than you can do? |
9057 | Or, if he be mine, am not I his? |
9057 | Our friends will know us then: for their joy, will it be, or their sorrow? |
9057 | Pray, why should it grieve me to be told I am not a child of God, if I be not a child of God? |
9057 | Reader, if you are in any trouble, try whether God will not help you; if you are in no need, why should you ask questions about prayer? |
9057 | Refusing to obey him in your life, how can you trust him for your life? |
9057 | Religion? |
9057 | Remember, Lord, that I have never known myself clean: how can I cleanse myself? |
9057 | Shall God be God, and shall this be the end? |
9057 | Shall God call himself the God of the dead, of those who were alive once, but whom he either could not or would not keep alive? |
9057 | Shall God''s thoughts be surpassed by man''s thoughts? |
9057 | Shall I allow my creature to be the thing my soul hates?'' |
9057 | Shall I keep you alive to do things hateful in the sight of all true men? |
9057 | Shall I not cry to him to be in me rest and strength? |
9057 | Shall I not now love him with an infinitely better love than was possible to me before? |
9057 | Shall I not tell him that I need him to comfort me? |
9057 | Shall I then be supposed to mean that the refusal of the young man was of necessity final? |
9057 | Shall a brother love a brother more than The Father loves a son?--more than The Brother Christ loves his brother? |
9057 | Shall a man climb the last flight of the stair who has never set foot on the lowest step? |
9057 | Shall mortal man, the helpless creature thou hast made, bear cross like this?'' |
9057 | Shall my heart be more compassionate than his? |
9057 | Shall not his dread''--another thing quite than that to which you show your pagan respect--''fall upon you?'' |
9057 | Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? |
9057 | Shall not the youth abide the stroke of Time''s clock-- await the Inevitable on its path to free him?'' |
9057 | Shall that begin with an exception? |
9057 | Shall the king who comes to say what is true, turn his back for fear of men? |
9057 | Shall the mother''s heart cleave closest to the deformed of her little ones? |
9057 | Shall we leave our brother to his desolate fate? |
9057 | Shall we not find thee equal to our faith? |
9057 | Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom he loves? |
9057 | Shall, of all his glories, his mercy alone not be infinite? |
9057 | Should I be fit for any friendship if that were possible even in regard to my enemy? |
9057 | Should he be willing to give a man the thing he knows he would afterwards wish he had not given him? |
9057 | Should not God''s ways in these also be beyond his understanding? |
9057 | Sometimes to one praying will come the feeling rather than question:''Were it not better to abstain? |
9057 | St. Peter expressly says,''While it remained was it not thine own? |
9057 | Suppose my watch found and restored, is the account settled between me and the thief? |
9057 | Suppose the man, with the watch in his pocket, were to inflict the severest flagellation on himself: would that lessen my sense of injury? |
9057 | Surely not-- else why should they have been given? |
9057 | Tell me it is faith he requires: do I not know it? |
9057 | That you may have bettered by your suffering is well for you, but what atonement is there in the suffering? |
9057 | The Lord of life demanding high virtue of us, can it be that he does not care for the first principles of justice? |
9057 | The Lord says nothing about the first table of the law: why does he not tell this youth as he did the lawyer, that to love God is everything? |
9057 | The answer then to the Lord''s reproach,''How is it that ye do not understand?'' |
9057 | The difficulty is this: Is it like the_ Son of man_ to pick out the beautiful child, and leave the common child unnoticed? |
9057 | The ground of the wrong they do us?" |
9057 | The ground of their enmity? |
9057 | The man or woman who is not ready to confess, who is not ready to pour out a heartful of regrets-- can such a one be an inheritor of the light? |
9057 | The prayer would arise from nothing in the person prayed for; why should it initiate a change in God''s dealing with him? |
9057 | The question is for you to put to yourself, the question is for you to answer to yourself: Am I alive with the life of Christ? |
9057 | The righteousness of another? |
9057 | The thief may have had justice done him-- but where is my watch? |
9057 | Then my second neighbour appears, and who is he? |
9057 | Then shall I not think to him? |
9057 | Then why should I care? |
9057 | There is some principle involved in it worth the notice even of God himself, for did he not make us so that the thing does trouble us? |
9057 | There was nothing like this in the law: was it not hard?--Hard to let earth go, and take heaven instead? |
9057 | Thereupon the man falls back on the primary foundation of things, and asks--"How, then, is the man to be loved by me? |
9057 | This adds something to the story, and raises the question, Why should Jesus have been angry? |
9057 | This is full of mystery, but can we not see enough in it to make us very glad and very peaceful? |
9057 | To be a thing that God cares for and would have complete for himself, because it is worth caring for-- is not that life enough? |
9057 | To be something to God-- is not that praise enough? |
9057 | To return then to our immediate text: Is the refusal of forgiveness contained in it a condemnation to irrecoverable impenitence? |
9057 | To say_ Thou art God_, without knowing what the_ Thou_ means-- of what use is it? |
9057 | To the one as to the other comes the word,''_ How is it that ye do not understand_?'' |
9057 | To what does such a forgiveness reach? |
9057 | To what end are all his dealings with them, all his sufferings with and for and in them, but that they should claim their birthright? |
9057 | To whom is this name given? |
9057 | Was all he had gone through in the way of obedience to be of no good to him? |
9057 | Was existence, the glorious out- gift of his father, to be the most terrible of miseries, because some must go home before others? |
9057 | Was he not a child then? |
9057 | Was he not always bringing forth out of the light inaccessible? |
9057 | Was he not ready for it? |
9057 | Was his father and their father no comfort to them? |
9057 | Was it meant for a test, and not as an actual word of deliverance? |
9057 | Was it not a true revelation of God? |
9057 | Was it not righteous in Abraham to obey God? |
9057 | Was it not thus the Lord carried himself towards his Father when he said,''If it be possible, let this cup pass from me''? |
9057 | Was it the cry of gladness that he had endured to the end? |
9057 | Was it the cry of relief at the touch of death? |
9057 | Was it the cry of victory? |
9057 | Was it then, when at the last moment, in the agony of the last faint, the Lord cried out,"Why hast thou forsaken me?" |
9057 | Was not his very human form a veil hung over the face of the truth that, even in part by dimming the effulgence of the glory, it might reveal? |
9057 | Was not this their_ condition_ unpardonable? |
9057 | Was such his condition now that the greatest gladness of the universe could express itself only in a loud cry? |
9057 | Was such sorrow, in the mind of an earnest youth, likely to grow less or to grow more? |
9057 | Was the Lord deceived in him? |
9057 | Was the Lord then premature in his demand on the youth? |
9057 | Was then this show upon Mount Sinai a device to move obedience, such as bad nurses employ with children? |
9057 | Was this punishment? |
9057 | Waxing indignant at the idea that his nature required such treatment--''Am I a sea or a whale,''he cries out,''that thou settest a watch over me?'' |
9057 | We are no more to think,''What should I like to do?'' |
9057 | We can not frustrate it in its working; are we just to it in our idea of it? |
9057 | We know that the wind blows: why should we not know that God answers prayer?'' |
9057 | We rise a step here in the nature of the facts concerned: are we come therefore into the region of truths? |
9057 | Were it otherwise, what would it avail to prove this one or that right or wrong? |
9057 | Were there no love in us, what sense of justice could we have? |
9057 | Were they no nearer the light of life than that? |
9057 | What are its oxygen, its hydrogen, its nitrogen, its carbonic acid, its ozone, and all the possible rest, to the blowing of the wind on our faces? |
9057 | What can matter to me more than my rights?'' |
9057 | What claim have you to know? |
9057 | What connection was there between''How many baskets took ye up?'' |
9057 | What difference is there between your position now and theirs? |
9057 | What do I hear you say?--''_How then shall the world go on_?'' |
9057 | What do we oftenest mean by_ justice_? |
9057 | What does it matter what you think of any doctrine? |
9057 | What does it mean? |
9057 | What does the apostle mean by the righteousness that is of God by faith? |
9057 | What does the bosom of his mother give him but life in abundance? |
9057 | What does the infant need but more life? |
9057 | What does the old man need, whose limbs are weak and whose pulse is low, but more of the life which seems ebbing from him? |
9057 | What else can that be than the spiritual childhood? |
9057 | What father being evil would it not win to see the child with whom he was vexed running to his embrace? |
9057 | What father is not pleased with the first tottering attempt of his little one to walk? |
9057 | What father would be satisfied with anything but the manly step of the full- grown son? |
9057 | What fitness then can there be in praying for others? |
9057 | What had the miracles to do with their discovering that when he spoke of leaven, it was not of the leaven of bread? |
9057 | What have such gained by being the Christians they say they are? |
9057 | What have we to do towards the attaining to the resurrection from the dead? |
9057 | What have you done this day because it was the will of Christ? |
9057 | What have you to do with his merits? |
9057 | What heart in the kingdom of heaven would ever dream of constructing a metaphysical system of what we owed to God and why we owed it? |
9057 | What idea could we have of God without the sky? |
9057 | What if the good of all our smaller and lower needs lies in this, that they help to drive us to God? |
9057 | What if the main object in God''s idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need-- the need of himself? |
9057 | What if there would be no good in that? |
9057 | What in the name of God is our knowledge of the elements of the atmosphere to our knowledge of the elements of Nature? |
9057 | What is he to do with him? |
9057 | What is it to any true man what you think of his doctrine? |
9057 | What is life in a child? |
9057 | What is the analysis of water to the babble of a running stream? |
9057 | What is the kingdom of Christ? |
9057 | What is the tone of the passage? |
9057 | What is the whole system of things for, but our education? |
9057 | What is the_ life_ the apostle intends? |
9057 | What is thy scheme for cutting my bonds and setting me free?'' |
9057 | What less than such a splendour of hope would be worthy the revelation of Jesus? |
9057 | What lover would yield his lady to her passion for morphia? |
9057 | What makes it fit, I repeat, to call the tale_ good news_? |
9057 | What makes this tale_ the good news_? |
9057 | What man can judge his neighbour aright save him whose love makes him refuse to judge him? |
9057 | What matter whether I be called a grass of the field, or an eagle of the air? |
9057 | What merit is there in it? |
9057 | What other relation imaginable could give claims to compare with those arising from such a relation? |
9057 | What perfection in a dwelling would it be that its furniture and the paths between were fitted as the trays and pigeon- holes of a cabinet? |
9057 | What repentant child, feeling he has wronged his father, does not desire to make atonement? |
9057 | What room will there be for law, when everything upon which law could lay a_ shalt not_ will be too loathsome to think of? |
9057 | What setting- right would come of the sinner''s suffering? |
9057 | What shall it profit a man to know all things, and lose the bliss, the consciousness of well- being, which alone can give value to his knowledge? |
9057 | What thank would he have in that? |
9057 | What then is our practical relation to the life original? |
9057 | What then is the kingdom over which the Lord cares to reign, for he says he came into the world to be a king? |
9057 | What then shall I say of such a doctrine of devils as that, even if a man did repent, God would not or could not forgive him? |
9057 | What then, I say once more, is in Christ correspondent to the creative power of God? |
9057 | What then? |
9057 | What truth? |
9057 | What was the prayer for having heard which he now thanks his father? |
9057 | What wisdom could there be in throwing away such a grand advantage? |
9057 | What would he have, but that his children should claim their father? |
9057 | What, I ask now, is here the power of his word_ For: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also_? |
9057 | What, I ask, is the truth of water? |
9057 | What, then, is the connection between the second and third? |
9057 | What, then, is the righteousness which is of God by faith? |
9057 | What, then, next, is the connection between the first and second? |
9057 | When contempt is cast on the truth, do we smile? |
9057 | When he cast me out, as you say, did I then begin to draw my being from myself-- or from the devil? |
9057 | When is it given? |
9057 | When the Lord says,''Why askest thou me concerning that which is good?'' |
9057 | When, through them, glorifying them as it passed, did the light stream from his glorified body? |
9057 | When? |
9057 | When? |
9057 | Where can be the selfishness in being so made happy? |
9057 | Where then are the sons? |
9057 | Where will be the room for it, when the essence of every thought must be God? |
9057 | Where, I say, would be the good news of that? |
9057 | Wherein do you differ from the youth of the story? |
9057 | Which comes nearest to the divine idea of forgiveness? |
9057 | Which of the inhibitions of the law is illustrated in the tale? |
9057 | Which of these, I pray, is liker to the sin against the Holy Ghost? |
9057 | Which, the creature he made more, or the creature he made less dependent on himself, would be the greater? |
9057 | Whither else dare we send them? |
9057 | Who among them would say he had ever heard God''s voice, or seen his shape? |
9057 | Who but a father could think the flowers for his little ones? |
9057 | Who can give a man this, his own name? |
9057 | Who can set right the wrong? |
9057 | Who has done me the wrong? |

9057 | Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?'' |
9057 | Who is my father? |
9057 | Who is there of his friends whom any thoughtful man would depute to represent his thoughts to his fellows? |
9057 | Who knows but such sin may need for its cure the continuous punishment of an aeon? |
9057 | Who shall set bounds to the consuming of the fire of our God, and the purifying that dwells therein? |
9057 | Who that believes in Jesus does not long to atone to his brother for the injury he has done him? |
9057 | Who that has loved this earth can but believe that the spiritual body of which St Paul speaks will be a yet higher channel of such revelation? |
9057 | Who will dare to call anything less than this a resurrection? |
9057 | Who would, I repeat, say a man was a just man because he insisted on prosecuting every offender? |
9057 | Who, after centuries of glory in heaven, would not rejoice to behold once more that patient- headed child of winter and spring, the meek snowdrop? |
9057 | Whom makest thou thyself?" |
9057 | Why changed? |
9057 | Why do I behold the helplessness and confidence of his infancy? |
9057 | Why do we behold the wonder of the sunset and the mystery of the growing moon together? |
9057 | Why do we feel this satisfaction? |
9057 | Why do we grow up with the same nurture? |
9057 | Why do we share one bed, join in the same games, and attempt the same exploits? |
9057 | Why does my brother come of the same father and mother? |
9057 | Why does the poor, worn, out- worn suicide seek death? |
9057 | Why grudge the friendly elements their grasp on the body, restoring it whence it came, because Lazarus was gone home to God, and needed it no more? |
9057 | Why is the infant laid on the knee of the child? |
9057 | Why should I love my neighbour as myself?" |
9057 | Why should death trouble them? |
9057 | Why should he be forgiven?'' |
9057 | Why should he have Adversaries a moment longer to interfere between him and the willing hearts which would believe if they could? |
9057 | Why should he not keep it? |
9057 | Why should he not put forth the power that was in him that he might eat? |
9057 | Why should he not''make the best of both worlds''? |
9057 | Why should it require to be reasoned about? |
9057 | Why should the Lord have come to the world at all, if these his friends were to take no more good of him than this? |
9057 | Why should the question admit of doubt? |
9057 | Why should the rich fare differently from other people in respect of the world to come? |
9057 | Why should the same thing be required of me as of a young Jew? |
9057 | Why should this be"the sad end of the war"? |
9057 | Why should we love our enemies? |
9057 | Why should you know? |
9057 | Why then does he wait till the man has become by overcoming ere he settles what his name shall be? |
9057 | Why then hasten the hour? |
9057 | Why then should he not eat? |
9057 | Why then was John afraid? |
9057 | Why then was John overcome with terror? |
9057 | Why then, I ask, do you worship such a God?'' |
9057 | Why, I repeat, does God punish sin? |
9057 | Why, having forgotten, could they not trust? |
9057 | Will God give to another for our asking what he would not give without it? |
9057 | Will a man ever love his enemies? |
9057 | Will he not break open the shell for me, and let the truth of it, his thought, stream out upon me? |
9057 | Will he plead against me with his great power? |
9057 | Will his agony be a balm to my deep wound? |
9057 | Will it not rather be a new- born law itself, working new things? |
9057 | Will not a man be taught thus to believe the things he likes best, even to pray for that which he likes best? |
9057 | Will not some heavenly dew descend cool upon the hot anger? |
9057 | Will not this be the resurrection of the body? |
9057 | Will that be a rendering to me of my due? |
9057 | Will the Lord ever tell us why he cried so? |
9057 | Will the living God let such a man''s opinions damn him? |
9057 | Will their hearts sink within them when they look on the real likeness of us? |
9057 | With him to aid my justice, new risen with him from the dead, shall I not make good amends? |
9057 | Would God give us love, the root of power, in us, and leave that love, whereby he himself creates, altogether helpless in us? |
9057 | Would he find them, even then, beyond the tyranny of appearances, believing in spite of them? |
9057 | Would he have let his Son die for a law of nature, as we call it? |
9057 | Would he not be better pleased if I left it altogether to him?'' |
9057 | Would he not begin to see more plainly his shortcomings, the larger scope of their requirements? |
9057 | Would he not die yet again to save one brother more? |
9057 | Would he not have died, not of splendour, not of sorrow,( terror was not there,) but of the actual sight of the incomprehensible? |
9057 | Would he not, if it could be done without the person''s self, do it without a second person? |
9057 | Would it anyway atone? |
9057 | Would it bring him nearer to them, who could not see him in the face of his Son? |
9057 | Would it give him a right to the watch? |
9057 | Would it not be hard to persuade you that they ever did so behave? |
9057 | Would it not be the evil- faced child, because he needed it most? |
9057 | Would it not be well, I would ask him, to enquire what he did really teach, according to the primary sources of our knowledge of him? |
9057 | Would it not indeed amount to a sufficing atonement as between man and man? |
9057 | Would it set anything right? |
9057 | Would it show God justified in doing what he knew would bring sin into the world, justified in making creatures who he knew would sin? |
9057 | Would not each be filled with the sense of his own wants, and be for ever tearing to himself? |
9057 | Would not the different evil require a different_ form_ of forgiveness? |
9057 | Would there be any making- up for sin? |
9057 | Would there be less sin in the universe? |
9057 | Would there not lie, in the thief''s confession and submission and initial restoration, an appeal to the divinest in me-- to the eternal brotherhood? |
9057 | Would we not let all the tenderness of our nature flow forth upon such a child? |
9057 | Would you have me think you guilty of the sin against the Holy Ghost-- that you_ understand_ Jesus Christ and yet will not obey him? |
9057 | Would you not speak after some such fashion? |
9057 | Wronged in our presence, do we make no sign that we hold by it? |
9057 | Yes, verily, but what of that? |
9057 | You begin to see it? |
9057 | You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate"? |
9057 | You may say,''How could that be, seeing he knew what was in man?'' |
9057 | You say you do not refuse to obey him? |
9057 | You think your common sense enough to let you know what he means? |
9057 | You would not like that way of it? |
9057 | _ And he came to Capernaum: and, being in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? |
9057 | _ Art thou a king then? |
9057 | _ Difficult_? |
9057 | _ Do you not know that I am the man I say?_''Will ye accept His person?'' |
9057 | _ Do you not know that I am the man I say?_''Will ye accept His person?'' |
9057 | _ What else could he mean? |
9057 | _ Will not_ may be for love, but how with a self- imposed_ can not_? |
9057 | _ Will not_, did I say? |
9057 | _"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
9057 | a heart which is the inmost chamber wherein springs the divine fountain of your being? |
9057 | a hint of vague and false horror? |
9057 | a man hold the doctrine of devils, and yet be of God?'' |
9057 | a stone to build into his temple, or a Boanerges to wield his thunder? |
9057 | and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power?'' |
9057 | and is not faith the highest act of which the human mind is capable? |
9057 | and shall not the living Justice avenge his praying friends over whose injuries he has to exercise a long- suffering patience towards their enemies?'' |
9057 | and shall that will, praying with the will of the Father, find itself cramped, fettered, manacled by foregone laws? |
9057 | and shall"Christ as we believe him"choose according to the sight of the eye? |
9057 | and talk deceitfully for him?'' |
9057 | and wherein would a victory over such be a victory for the race? |
9057 | and''How is it that ye do not understand?'' |
9057 | but can any Christian believe it was from love to Lazarus that Jesus wept? |
9057 | but if he gave me being, then it means no reception, but a repudiation.--"O Father, am I not your child?"'' |
9057 | but when were his garments white as snow? |
9057 | but''What would the Living One have me do?'' |
9057 | could you give me something to give him, or give him something for me?'' |
9057 | do not even the publicans so? |
9057 | do not even the publicans the same? |
9057 | does Death so serve him-- so ransom him? |
9057 | for eternal life, to let dead things drop? |
9057 | have I the poorest notion of a God, and dare think of entering into relations with him, the very first of which is not that what he saith, I will do? |
9057 | his breath to move upon the face of the waters of the Chaos he has made? |
9057 | how can the clay claim from the potter? |
9057 | how then can I deserve eternal torment? |
9057 | how will the child go on to pray if he knows the Father can not answer him? |
9057 | is he to be obliged to one outside his kingdom-- to the untrue, the ignoble, for money? |
9057 | is it not by his consciousness that I am conscious? |
9057 | it is a terrible-- shall it be a lonely glory this? |
9057 | lose his rich friends, and he of the Master''s household? |
9057 | nay, is it not his thinking in which I think? |
9057 | nearest, though with the gulf between, wherewith the heavens are higher than the earth? |
9057 | not"What will God do if I do so and so?" |
9057 | of the same body though not of the same dead matter? |
9057 | of the self whose end is not comfort, or enjoyment, but blessedness, yea, ecstasy? |
9057 | of the_ self_ that suffers, not pain, but misery? |
9057 | or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock Him?'' |
9057 | or did the Master believe he had kept the commandments perfectly? |
9057 | or is he an indwelling, willing, ordering power? |
9057 | or that, bending your energies to the absolute perfection he requires, you have the more perceived the impossibility of fulfilling the law? |
9057 | or worse, make frantic efforts to rouse them? |
9057 | or, if Satan might be so foolish, wherein could such temptation so presented have tempted our Lord? |
9057 | or, ten times worse, relapse into a state of temporary atheism, and yield to the pressing temptation? |
9057 | shall a man love his neighbour as himself, and must he be content not to know him in heaven? |
9057 | some genial rain- drop on the dry selfishness? |
9057 | some glance of sunlight on the cloudy hopelessness? |
9057 | that because he declined to enter into life the door of life was closed against him? |
9057 | that he does not think about himself but about them? |
9057 | that he was therefore lost? |
9057 | that his work refused as an obstruction the aid of wealth? |
9057 | that it was because the goal God had in view for them was so high and afar, that they could detect no movement of approach thereto? |
9057 | that the battle of God could be better fought without its impediment? |
9057 | that the casting of it away would make him one of God''s Anakim? |
9057 | that which is, and that which is because the other is? |
9057 | that which wills, and that which answers, owing to the will, the heart, the desire of the other, its power to answer? |
9057 | that would map out the character of God, instead of crying, Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do? |
9057 | that, though impossible with men, this is possible with God? |
9057 | the redeemed would cry,"where art thou, our strong Jesus? |
9057 | thorough oneness with them? |
9057 | to be corruption? |
9057 | to be in hell? |
9057 | to be that which is damned? |
9057 | to deliver me from my sins, and make me clean and glad? |
9057 | to quiet this uneasy motion called life, and make me live indeed? |
9057 | to turn his hack on Mammon, and follow Jesus? |
9057 | what am I to do?'' |
9057 | when a man does not know whether he believes or not, whether he loves or not? |
9057 | when even the lovely selfishness of love- seeking has vanished, and the heart is absorbed in loving? |
9057 | when the lesson he had to present to them was that of the divine nature of the child, that of childlikeness? |
9057 | why did the servant of the Lord fall at his feet as one dead? |
9057 | why not use it in the service of the Master? |
