16104***** THE REMEDY-- BUT WHO IS TO FURNISH IT?
16104A 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?
16104And first-- Ques.--"What are the divisions of North America?"
16104And who were the first to present themselves as candidates for the white ribbon but that same woman and her husband?
16104Can a man make money by knowing the grammar?
16104How much could we learn of religion, of history and the world around us, if it were not for grammar?
16104If one is an object- lesson, is not the other quite as much so?"
16104Is not here a splendid field for missionary work for the King''s Daughters throughout the land?
16104May 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?"
16104Ques.--"What is a unit?"
16104Ques.--"What makes the water rise in an artesian well?"
16104Ques.--"Where do the collar bones meet?"
16104THE REMEDY-- BUT WHO IS TO FURNISH IT?
16104WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF THIS SUPPLY?
16104What does it mean?
16104What proportion of the funds contributed by living donors to missionary societies comes directly from church collections?
16104What, therefore, is the stable reliance of missionary societies on which to make annual appropriations?
16104Who will enlist next?
16104Would 1- 2- 3 tell us all that?"
11762''Is not the babe a blessing in the house?
11762Am I to blame that I come here empty?
11762Am I to blame that I must go away?"
11762At the door he asked, roughly, of a colored train hand,''Why did you let those men go into that car?''
11762DOES RESTRICTION RESTRICT?
11762DOES RESTRICTION RESTRICT?
11762Do you not see how rapidly Christian education and training must go forward to keep pace with such facts as these?
11762I believe that if the Master were visibly present with us to- day, and we should ask,"Where shall we go first with the Gospel?"
11762I want to be an earnest Christian; will you show me how?"
11762If that ai n''t religion, then, mamma, what is religion?
11762Is it not laid upon us, who know something of this work, to do this?
11762Now, I ask you, friends, should not such work as this be amply sustained?
11762Now, what is the remedy?
11762Suppose a Frenchman should come to teach us French, and neither of us spoke a word of English-- how rapid would our progress be?
11762Suppose we were to try to learn a foreign language in that way?
11762The Dawes Bill gives them citizenship, but what does the Indian get?
11762The 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?
11762The matron asked,"What_ is_ the matter?"
11762What 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?
11762What opportunity had I?
11762What shall be done?
11762Where can you see anything among the whites that equals it?
11762do its share in this great work, or how can the work already begun be carried on, unless money is turned liberally into its treasury?
13641And how long has white man known of this?
13641Lady, 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?"
13641Now,said he,"when we gits cold and wicked follerin''our own ways, how does de Lord brung us back again to our senses?"
13641Ques.--''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?''
13641A prominent professor in a theological seminary, when the question was put to him ten years ago:"Professor, when did you become an Abolitionist?"
13641But are they progressing rapidly?
13641But why not face the more hopeful question: Is there a remedy?
13641He has taught us to worship the ancestors and also use a lamb for sacrifice, why do n''t you obey?''
13641How many of you at home do as much for your prayer- meeting as this poor old colored woman?
13641Is it to be wondered at, then, that the colored people are flocking to the Catholic fold?
13641Now, how can one better prove his patriotism than by giving his money or service to save his country from ignorance and degradation?
13641One of the questions most often asked is,"Are the colored people improving?"
13641Shall immigrants be welcomed, restricted or prohibited?
13641She asked of her teacher:"But, lady, how long have you known of this beautiful story?"
13641She passed in while I stood at the door and thought thus,"Shall I go in here when one of those awful"blues"is there?"
13641Some ask:''Do you believe our Confucius?''
13641Suppose you go to the stable to pray, do you think God was there-- such a dirty place-- and hear your prayer?''
13641The 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?"
13641What will be its end?
13641What will it mean?
13641Why can not those disciples of Confucius be better men?
13641Why should not the North and South alike manfully face the question of a war of races?
13641Why 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?
16083A 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?"
16083After the meeting was pass one of the old gentleman came to me and said,''Are you a missionary?''
16083And if the struggle comes again, what hope of success can the South cherish?
16083And then comforted, she cried out triumphantly--"Did n''t my Lord deliver Daniel, Then why not every man?"
16083Assuming that this is her highest need, can good servants be had without good wages?
16083Because the people are prejudiced against us and our principles, shall we withdraw, and let them sink lower and lower?
16083Because the work has many discouragements, are we excused?
16083But the question is asked:"Have you no public schools or churches in this large section of the country?"
16083Can 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?
16083Have they had a fair chance in the race of life?
16083He said:"Brethren, did you neber see a pasteboard box?
16083How can the Association more fully meet these needs?
16083How can we prevent crime, check immorality and decrease mortality?
16083How can we rescue them from poverty and illiteracy, and not pauperize them?
16083How have they fared since Freedom?
16083I have asked several persons,"What is the greatest need of the colored woman and girl?"
16083It was easy to picture stretches of landscape and quiet homes like our own, but the query was ever the same, what is_ still beyond_?
16083Shall it not be this?
16083What is the true place of our women and girls?
16083What message shall we send back to them, O people of God?
16083Who 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?
16083Why?
16083how shall I describe them?
16083what of these hundreds of thousands who seemingly have no more aspiration than the brute in their field?
21351The 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?
21351Apostles''?
21351Cyprian, Bp,?
21351Is not he thy father that bought thee?
21351Then you really say that there is an actual equality of the Three Persons, and yet that there is but one God?
21351What then are the characteristics which we must expect in a Collect?
21351Why then should we suppose that intelligence is the only thing which{ 103} is an exception-- the only thing of which we have the whole?
21351why suppose that all these adaptations have been made, so wonderfully, without a controlling mind?
21323By their profession of faith?
21323By their readiness to work?
21323Did he wait until they could say they believed, even that he was God''s Son, before he sent them out to work?
21323Did not Judas work with Jesus?
21323How did Christ admit his members?
21323In that sense are we not a true ecclesia?
21323Is it imperative for him to find exactly what he does not believe?
21323To sum up, What has the Church meant to me?
21323Was ever such a topsy- turvyism?
21323Who cares, as a matter of fact, which way these men said their prayers?
21323Why?
17126And you knew all about it?
17126Are we to have new dresses?
17126But 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?
17126Even Miss Josephine?
17126Even Queenie and Fido? 17126 How can I get it too?"
17126I am not obliged to explain my actions to every one, am I, Rose?
17126Johnnie, where_ do_ you learn those big words?
17126Mabel,Johnny said in a tone of reproof,"how often has mamma told you never to ask for things in that way?"
17126Miss Simms,said Johnnie one day,"what is the reason nobody ever is angry with Edith?
17126Mith Rothe, when thith canoe geth too old for you, you''ll give it to me, wo n''t you?
17126There,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?"
17126There,said Johnnie,"have n''t we made a Bible feast?"
17126Was it the rule that you must lose your recess, if you spoke?
17126What have we done, Aunt Maria?
17126But where was Aunt Maria''s family?
17126But where were Aunt Maria''s family?
17126Can he come to the party?"
17126Could that be mamma?
17126Dear Mrs. MacLain, what made you pretend to be vexed, if you were not?"
17126Do you think we ought to put on our best frocks the first day?"
17126Folks talk about dumb creatures, but they are not very dumb, are they, children?
17126God is very good to give us so many bright days, and so much joy in them, is n''t he?"
17126Have you ever been very unhappy when you have been good?"
17126He shut up his Bible, and marched to Aunt Maria, who looked at him through her spectacles, and said:"Well, sir?
17126What do you think of that plan?"
17126What shall we do?"
17126Who told you to shut up your book?"
13824And are you diligently preparing for that day?
13824And is not this treating the Gospel as_ foolishness_?
13824And with what scornful hatred are those churches avoided by many, where nothing is heard but_ Jesus Christ and him crucified_?
13824Are any of you conscious of disgust and aversion, produced by such doctrines?
13824Are you escaping for your life?
13824Are you working out your salvation with fear and trembling?
13824Are you_ agonizing_ to enter in at the strait gate?
13824Do any of you habitually hear the preaching of the cross with heartless indifference-- with a light and trifling temper?
13824Do not_ they_ esteem them_ foolishness_?
13824How chilling is the effect, when such discourse is attempted, in many circles of refinement and elegance?
13824In such circumstances, what are worldly honours, or wealth, or all your hopes of enjoyment here?
13824What connexion will it have with our future and eternal condition?
13824What objects is it designed to accomplish?
13824When, if not at that deeply interesting crisis, will all things be ready for the great trial?
13824_ When will the universal Judgment take place?_ The precise time, God has wisely concealed from every intelligent creature.
13824where is it?
23476In whose custody should the Tithe Map and Award be placed?
23476Should the Incumbent or the Parish Council have the charge of them?
23476What changes then, it will be asked, are made with regard to Vestries?
23476What, then, are their duties?
23476Who, then are qualified to be Churchwardens?
21722Of what music is our hymn- book to be constructed, which shall be at once dignified, sacred, and popular?
21722To the next question,_ Whose emotion_ is this congregational music to excite or heighten?
21722We know the need; how is it to be supplied?
21722What is it that is wrong with our hymnody?
21722What is the matter?
21722Where then is the appeal?
21722_ Quis custodiet_?
14102All right,said the gentleman,"but to what special purpose would you advise it to be applied?"
14102But,said the gentleman,"are there not places in your work where new buildings are greatly needed?"

14102It must be so funny-- and what are all these blue cards?"
14102Shall treasure and toil be wanting for the work of peace-- preparing the ignorant voter to cast the free ballot intelligently and honestly?
14102Shall we accept the gift and trust the churches to furnish the money?

18329And all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
18329And shall these varied powers of resistance and aggression be circumscribed by the walls of individual churches?
18329And where is the strength of our Republic, if not in our cities and large towns?
18329And wherefore so heavy a curse, unless the power of their example was great?
18329But what is that to the present and eternal elevation of these thousand minds?
18329But where are these insuperable difficulties to be found?
18329Do you ask more particularly, how this shall be done?
18329Indeed, what is the book of the Acts, but one continued history of revivals in cities and populous places?
18329Is not this elevation worth more than all the necessary expense, even leaving out of the account all the eternal results?
18329Shall not new temples be opened for their reception?
18329Shall not the tide of dissipation, and crime, that would overflow and mar every thing sacred, be met and turned back?
18329Shall they not rather be combined for raising a higher and higher tone of moral feeling, and Christian enterprise?
18329Shall they not send a strong, concentrated light into every dark retreat of wickedness?
18329Should we not then exult in the privilege of lifting all the degraded portions of our city, and of our land, into intellectual and moral grandeur?
18329What field then offers so rich and large an harvest to faithful labour?

25906I then said to him,"Will you go home and think the matter over very carefully and let us know to- morrow evening?"
25906It said,''Does you remember what the Lord Jesus Christ said to his disciples just before He descended into heaven?
25906The question may be asked, What is the American Missionary Association doing along these lines of self- help and independence?
25906The salutatory and essay,"What Can a Woman Do?"
26136The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? 10831 And do you know any of them?
10831Do tell me, then, how was it conducted?
10831Is it possible?
10831May we, sir, believe the good news? 10831 Thank you, sir, I shall not forget; but this is not what I meant; I wished to know whether you are protestant or catholic, a pastor or a priest?"
10831That 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?"
10831Well, then, can you tell me what sort of people they are, and what their characters and habits?
10831Who then,said I,"were the writers of this book?"
10831After some time, the hostess inquired,"Pray, sir, can you tell us if any thing extraordinary is passing in the world?
10831And will you then, in the great concerns of your souls, go to any other than the_ Son_?
10831But, sir, if you will not he offended, may I ask what you are called?"
10831Could you also add six copies of the little Tract, entitled_''Les Deux Vieillards''_?
10831Did you never see them receive the sacrament?"
10831Do they ever assemble for prayer, or do they live without worship?"
10831For the first time in my life the thought occurred, Is it possible they may be among the protestants?
10831Have you ever spoken to them, or been at their houses?"
10831I should very much like to know,"said I,"how they conduct their worship, and what they do at their church?"
10831I was yesterday at St.----, where they were planting a cross with great ceremony; were you there?"
10831May we rely on your promise?
10831Monsieur_""What, madam, what?"
10831She asked me if I had offered the priest the amount of the masses which he had promised to say?
10831The Jews, therefore, strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give his flesh to eat?
10831The priest seized the six- franc piece which I laid on the table, looked at me and said,"Do you wish me to say six?"

26195WHAT PROGRESS DO YOU MAKE?
26195*****"WHAT PROGRESS DO YOU MAKE?"
26195Who knows but that from this small beginning great good may grow?
26114How is the church related to this movement?
26114If the assumption that children are born good is accepted, then we are brought to the question,"How may these innocents be kept so?"
26114This concrete illustration both raises the question, Which of these is the"community?"
26114What is the challenge to the church of the economic conditions and tendencies outlined above?
25958Does not aiding such a student pay?
25958The Indians seem ready to do their share, are we ready to do ours?

25958or"I see you have no trunks, how do you carry your samples?"
14188But ca n''t you help me?
14188But,the boy said,"why do I need to be a good penman?
14188Then,said the teacher,"what were you doing when you found him idling?"
14188Well, my boy, where is heaven?
14188What 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?
14188Here is a verse for you to take as a motto:"Where are you going?
14188I suppose you never thought that you could kill a person with your tongue, did you?
14188I think that fathers and mothers are always allowing their children to fish over their shoulders, do n''t you?
14188I wonder whether our words would be pearls or spiders if we could see them?
14188Now, how can boys and girls shine inside so that they will always shine outside whether they have their own way or not?
14188OPPORTUNITY Have you ever heard of a picture that was called"Opportunity?"
14188Or shall I say, we_ are_ our own fates?
14188That seems a strange notion for a grown- up man to get into his head, does n''t it?
14188That sounds just like a prickly, thorny, little bramble, does it not?
14188That was a clever way of getting tempted, and yet not getting caught, was it not?
14188The man behind the desk was very brusque and fierce- looking, and snapped out,"Well, what do you want here?"
14188The teacher said to the tell- tale:"So you saw this boy idling, did you?"
14188Then he adds,"How many of our best catches in life are made over someone''s else shoulder?"
14188WHERE IS HEAVEN?
14188What are some of these little foxes?
14188What would become of you if God never forgave you when_ you_ did wrong?
14188Why did she do that?
14188Why not for those few divine years when we are still so near God, leave us just to wonder?
14188Why should we have points of view at all?
14188Why should we-- poor, helpless little children, all soft and resistless-- be squeezed and jammed into the iron bands of parental points of view?
14629A World Without Christmas What would be the effect of blotting Christmas out of the calendar of the world?
14629After so long preparation and so great promises and hopes, would we not have expected some greater and more wonderful gift?
14629And did not Voltaire prophecy in 1760 that ere the end of the eighteenth century Christianity would disappear from the earth?
14629And does not unbelief and unfaithfulness in our hearts also try to strangle this Child?
14629But has not the Christmas star already been extinguished in such a night?
14629Can it even be heard after many months when angry voices and the crash of falling wreckage still disturb the world?
14629Do we want such a world?
14629Has not God ordained priests and presbyters through whom he dispenses his grace and administers his kingdom?
14629Has the Christmas Song Survived the World War?
14629Has the Christmas Song Survived the World War?
14629Has the angels''song survived the World War?
14629How much shall we miss if we do not have room for Christ?
14629Intellectual light is flooding all Christian lands: has it not been touched by his torch?
14629Is it a discouraging fact that there is so little room for Christ in the world?
14629Is there anything more beautiful in the Bible, or in all literature?
14629Sceptics scoffed,"Where is the sign of his coming?"
14629Shall all lower needs be satisfied and this supreme search and cry of the soul be disappointed and mocked?
14629Shall not some respect be paid to official places and persons?
14629Then why did he come to it?
14629Was a Child the Best Christmas Gift to the World?
14629Was a Child the Best Christmas Gift to the World?
14629Was there ever a greater and sadder anticlimax and a more cruel disappointment?
14629Were ever deep- seated, long- cherished hopes treated with more cruel irony?
14629Were they disappointed at the humble mother, wife of a workingman, and at the manger cradle?
14629What is the explanation of the mighty, worldwide, attractive power of this Child?
14629What modern preacher can compare in eloquence and power with Paul and Isaiah?
14629When did God ever lead us to expect anything and then disappoint us?
14629When we come to think of it, does not a child seem an insignificant and disappointing gift for God to make to the world?
14629Where must we go to find the greatest wonder?
14629Where shall he begin, what human ears shall first have the privilege of hearing the glad tidings?
14629Who can imagine the surprise, the wonder, the overwhelming amazement this news created?
14629Why did God not rather give some invention or discovery or piece of knowledge that would revolutionize and bless the world?
14629Why should we ever wonder at the faithfulness of God?

15379Some time after he met me in the street:''Well, Moffat, what have you determined upon?'' 15379 What are you doing?"

15379Who,said the farmer,"hardened your hammer to deal my head such a blow?
15379Why,inquired the missionary,"can so great a man refuse knowledge and turn away from wisdom?

15379''No,''she replied,''my baby is well,''''Your mother- in- law?''
15379( Is it not an ape?)
15379Another sleep-- a wandering, perhaps unconscious, look at his children, a struggle, and then a quietness?
15379Do not I love you?''
15379From that moment, his choice was made; earthly prospects vanished: his one thought was,"how to become a missionary?"
15379He invited me to dinner again and said,''Have you come to a conclusion?
15379I said,''My child what is the cause of your sorrow?
15379Is it not through the love of God that Macheng is among us to- day?
15379Is the baby still unwell?''
15379Moffat inquired for the servants,"May none of your servants come in?"
15379Tell me, my friend, why I must not add to words and speak of a resurrection?"
15379The ear of the monarch caught the sound of a resurrection from the dead,"What,"he exclaimed in astonishment,"What are these words about?
15379Turning to the young prince, Taisho whispered,"Ah ga si khatla?"
15379What is love?
15379When he emerged on the northern bank, one of them came up out of breath and said,"Were you born in the great sea water?"
15379Will Mynheer not shake hands with me for once?"
15379With a start, and a look as though the man might have dropped from the clouds, the worthy Boer exclaimed,"Are_ you_ Africaner?"
15379roared the man,"are you come to preach to Hottentots?
15379they inquired; and also;"Do they graze in the sea to keep them alive?"

15923How Can We Help Increase the Number of Boys Attending Sunday School?
15923On Sunday a bunch of the younger boys came to Mr. Ball, and said,''We have no teacher; will you get one for us?'' 15923 Should an Older Boy Teach a Younger Boys''Sunday School Class?"
15923Why Do n''t the Older Boys Attend Church Services? 15923 ''Did they get me? 15923 ''Well, did they get you?'' 15923 ''Who do we want?'' 15923 As soon as a life knows Jesus as Saviour, it asks the question,What wilt thou have me to do, Lord?"

15923In view, then, of all that has gone before, what shall be said of the Sunday school and the boy?

15923Starbuck.--Should the Impartation of Knowledge Be a Function of the Sunday School?
15923There 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?"
15923They found that he had left for home, and the boys looked at Mr. Ball and said,''Now, what shall we do?''
15923To accomplish the latter, what shall the procedure be?
15923What now is the Sunday school?
15923What organizations can be used to lead them into Christian manhood between the twelfth and fifteenth year?

14716An eminent lawyer of Minneapolis, converted a short time since, declares that the earnest question,"Have you found Jesus?"
14716And shall we who win immortal souls be any less diligent?
14716And what, if in the great day of his appearing you shall be found, having gathered no sheaves and_ empty- handed_?
14716But should we not be just as persistent in our efforts to save from eternal death those whom we love?
14716But what if he were your boy or your brother?
14716But what if he were your father or brother or husband?
14716Have you ever noticed that much of the work which the Master and his disciples did was"personal work?"
14716He looked at her suspiciously as he asked,"Do you play cards, or dance, or go to the theater?"

17222And would he not have baptized his apostles in this way?
17222And, are they better observed under two sacraments than they are by the Quakers, and some other Christians who have none?
17222Angels said to his disciples: Why stand ye gazing up into Heaven?
17222Can any Christian doubt which baptism remains to us?
17222Did he not baptize those few with water for the same pacific purpose, or did he not at first receive full light upon this subject?
17222Does it not answer more nearly the description given of Mystery Babylon who was drunk with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus?
17222Has it improved since that early day, or is the gall of bitterness less pungent, or has the sight of God become dimmed?
17222Is it not Jesus who was made a priest,"not after the law of a carnal commandment, but by the power of an endless life?
17222Is it not plainly because there was no such command?
17222On page 61,"brethern"was corrected to"world- wide brethern?"
17222Shall we keep the law of Moses, circumcise our children and baptize with water, because Jesus sanctioned it in Judea?
17222Shall we sell our lands, live in common, frequent Jewish temples and break bread daily from house to house?
17222Were not these dissenting martyrs a remnant or seed of the living church and their baptized enemies the real heretics?
17222What dispenser of water baptism could give such thanks in this day?
17222What is the testimony of observation in our day?
17222What shall we say?
17222When did man first presume to baptize with water, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
17222Which baptism had ended?
17222Which remains?
17222Who would not gladly forget a succession which claims to run back through such a church as this?
17222With such Jewish proclivities how could they at once abandon water baptism?
17222[ 127] Simon the Sorcerer was baptized presumably with water; was he born again?
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?
17222[ 89] Would not our Saviour at some time have intimated that water baptism should be continued and have given some instructions about it?
26794After prayer by one of the members the leader asked of each one:"What have_ you_ to be thankful for?"
26794In school one day I asked"What is the_ heart_ for?"
27563Does not the soul, finding the heart of its suffering full of joy, forget the mere rough outside in which that heart of joy was folded?

19597Can we, my hearers, conceive of a higher and more horrid contradiction of the whole spirit of our religion than a national war?
19597Has God so conspicuously favored us that he can not but continue to bless?
19597Is it a collection of the biographies of individual men?
19597Is it by self- effort only, put forth from a stimulus self- begotten?
19597Is it the culture of the national life?
19597Is not this peculiar beginning prophetic of a glorious consummation?

1759What is it?
1759What is this noise about?

1759And sometimes to these last comes the question"Was it well?"
1759And the latest arrived missionary?
1759And was not God their Father, only they had not known him before?
1759And where was Kai Bok- su while the mob raged over the country?
1759And yet, how was he to learn?
1759Away they sailed farther and farther east, or was it west?
1759But is it well with the work?
1759Could it be possible that God was a great Father who loved his children?
1759Could it be possible that this was true?
1759For 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"?

1759To Mackay''s amazement, one of them called out,"Is Mackay of Canada on board?"
1759Was he no better?
1759Was it well that he should wear out that splendid life in such desperate toil among heathen that hated and reviled him?
1759What of him?
1759What of his Beautiful Island, now that Kai Bok- su has left for a greater work in a more beautiful land?
1759What were they to do?
1759Would Kai Bok- su and his students deign to visit their village too?
1759Would he give him that ice to save Mackay''s life?
1759Would he go?
1759Would he not come and tell the people of Sin- tiam the story about this Jesus- God who loved all men?
1759Would he?
26709And how is the name to be hallowed?
26709And what does this mean?
26709And will not the Father in heaven care for the child who has in prayer given himself up to His interests?
26709Is it not wonderful?
26709It will lead to a holy thoughtfulness and silence in prayer as it suggests the question: Does my Father really know that I need this?
26709Shall we not join in the deep longing cry of the redeemed:''Thy kingdom come''?
26709We may indeed and most joyfully say,''Who teacheth like Him?''

22432Are 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?
22432Are we acting as if it were our longing?
22432Are 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?
22432Are you letting pass the moment on which all eternity hangs?
22432At 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?"
22432Can 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?
22432Can we not read our parable?
22432Can we read our last lesson?
22432Could we imagine anything more insignificant?
22432Do you know why they want to scatter?
22432Do you notice that in each passage these are given as the marks of"ministry"?
22432Do you see the parable?
22432How is the deliverance to come?
22432If 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?
22432Is not this a calling for which it is worth counting, as St. Paul did, all things but loss?
22432Is there a soul poise that corresponds?
22432Look at a clover head; do you know why some of the spikes are upright and others turned downwards and fading?
22432Opposite p. 35 you see the two tiny specks in the splitting pod; does it not seem incredible that anything can come out of them?
22432That seems a truism, but do we realise the fact?
22432Who can tell what harvest after harvest may be waiting in the eternal years, after the summer of earth has faded into the far past?
22432Why 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?
22432are not our empty hearts now"the riches of His inheritance"?
13285And how little cause is there to charge their Infelicity, as often is done, upon this Condition, as if it were a necessary Consequence thereof?
13285And is not the incuring of general dislike, one of the strongest discouragements that we can have to any thing?
13285But what sure Remedy can be found for Effects whose Cause remains?
13285For how few Men are there, that arrive to any Eminence therein?
13285How dangerous a thing then is such Instruction in Religion, as teaches nothing unless it be to stifle the Suggestions of our Natural Light?
13285It is a good Question in the same Catechism;_ How doth it appear the Scriptures are the Word of God_?
13285Or,_ Why they believe such Articles concerning it, as they profess to believe_?
13285You do you not believe Transubstantiation?
13285_ What is the chief and highest end of Man_?
13285or not be liable to those Vices which their Natures incline them to?
13285or that correspondently to their Principles, Peoples Actions generally are( at best) unaccountable to their Reason?
22189Are all things-- even the treasures that He has sanctified-- held loosely, ready to be parted with, without a struggle, when He asks for them?
22189Are our hands off the very blossom of our life?
22189Are we following His steps; are we?
22189Are we ready for this last surrender?
22189Are you ready to ratify the words when His emptying begins to come?
22189But how are we to enter in?
22189But how?
22189But is it an act, or a gradual process, this"putting off the old man?"
22189But where is the barrier that we can place between ourselves and the old nature?
22189Can not we trust Him for like marvels in our souls?
22189Can we not trace the sign of the Cross in the first hint of the new spring''s dawning?
22189Do you ask"Does God really mean the emptying to reach so far as this?"
22189Does all this seem hard?
22189Does 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?
22189Does it look so to us?
22189Have we learned the buttercup''s lesson yet?
22189How are we to escape from the self- life that holds us, even after the sin- life has loosed its grasp?
22189Is God enough?
22189Is it still"My God"that you cry, even as Jesus cried when nothing else was left Him?
22189Shall we not ask God to convict us, as to where lies the hindrance to this self- emptying?
22189Shall we not let Him have His way?
22189Shall we not translate the story of their little lives into our own?
22189What more do we need for our souls than to have this God for our God?
22189Whatever is the next grace for your soul, can you believe for its supply at once, straight out from the dry, bare need?
22189Where is the sentence of death that we can pass upon it?
22189Will they be said to us?
28468Do you find them very treacherous?
28468Do you see any real results?
28468He was only(?)
28468One old lady, fearing that she had been overlooked, exclaimed:"Wat you gwine to gib me?"
28468Who shall measure this?
28541Has it been cold here?
28541Have you been sick long?
28541Have you had any snow?
28541The mother was lying on a bed in the corner, and I said to her,"Are you sick?"
28541The orations of the graduates from the college course on"The Mission of the Scholar,""Aims and Ideals,"and"Does the Constitution Follow the Flag?"
28541Where were we?
28541Who are these people?
26308At any rate, what method is secure from occasional false steps?
26308But what is the legitimate inference?
26308How can he effectually represent the joys of a religious mind, who has never known what it is to feel them?
26308How could one hope to do better in a first attempt, if he had not considered beforehand what he should say?
26308How happens this?
26308Now what is all this but_ extemporaneous writing_?
26308Who recommends such a course?
26308or how can he paint, in the warm colors of truth, religious exercises and spiritual desires, who is personally a stranger to them?
26308or 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?
26308that extemporaneous speaking is altogether ridiculous and mischievous?
12118A Scotchman once asked an Irishman,"Why were half- farthings coined in England?"
12118And 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?
12118And how long before that will be accomplished?
12118And how shall they hear without a preacher?
12118Are there no spiritual frosts to blight?
12118Brethren, is not ours the appeal of Christ to you for his neglected and his needy ones?
12118But how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
12118Does this condition exist at the South?
12118Have our readers ever felt the burden of unanswered letters?
12118How can it be done?
12118How long before Protestant Orangemen and Catholic Irishmen will walk arm and arm in the same procession?
12118How long before the German and Russian and Englishman will recognize the Jew as a brother?
12118How long before they will have sufficient moral discrimination to know what the commandments require?
12118How long before this prejudice will disappear?
12118How long before we can expect a race with such antecedents and environments to be fitted to be left to themselves?
12118How long must it be kept up?
12118How long must it be kept up?
12118How long must this work be kept up?
12118How long will be required for the education of the colored people and the poor whites?
12118How long will it require for race- prejudices to go?
12118How long will this thing be kept up?
12118How much time will be required for the consciousness of having been wronged to wear from the breast and the blood of the black man?
12118How rapidly has the antipathy between races disappeared where the Turk has power?
12118In his poverty what can the Negro student do with this sum in the way of educating himself?
12118In how many Southern States are the same privileges extended to both races in schools?
12118In the beginning of the movement, the cry;"Where does Fisk stand on this question?"
12118Much is being done to promote education by schools and charities, but what are these among so many?
12118Shall not then those churches adopt them in their hearts, carry them in their prayers, and let them suffer no lack in their preparation?
12118The moralizing of a race which has such a history, how long will that require?
12118The problem of the mother country is, How may the scattered colonies be joined in one body whose heart shall be London?
12118They said,"Which one?"
12118V. How long will be required for the_ moralizing_ of the lower classes of the South?
12118Was not he a brand plucked from the burning?
12118What answer must be given?
12118What is precisely a missionary school?
12118What is the sure result of conscious but blind power?
12118What may he not accomplish?
12118What may she not do for Christ?
12118What will you say of the mulattoes?
12118When will this problem be solved?
12118Where is the man or the woman to aid in this godly enterprise?
12118Why here?
12118faster than the whites, and to the South there is little immigration, how long will it be before the blacks preponderate?
12118in cars?
12118in churches?
12118in hotels?
12118of Southern whites, and seventy- three per cent., of Southern blacks?
12118to share in this work so essential and so abundantly fruitful?
13330And 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?
13330To 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_?"
13330And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
13330Are all apostles?
13330Are we to expect such a response?
13330But what shall we say of Christ who prayed for such visible unity and died for it?
13330CHAPTER IX THE CHURCH OF THE FUTURE What about the church of the future?
13330Does this divine prediction agree with the facts of history?
13330How do we become members of the divine family?
13330Is the modern sect system the ultimate goal of Christian attainment in this world?
13330Lorenzo Dow says of the Romish Church:"If she be the mother, who are the daughters?
13330Or, Can a church as a body backslide?
13330Shall the earth he made to bring forth in one day?
13330Spiritual- minded men are conscious that things can not long continue as they now are, but what and where is the remedy?
13330The next question to arise is, What date shall we select as the proper time from which to measure this 1,260-year period?
13330The sect spirit is, therefore, essential to the maintenance of the life and individuality of the sect body._[ Sidenote: What is the remedy?]
13330Therefore, whether Protestantism be true or false,_ it_ must be there, but where?
13330To what source, then, are we to trace sects?
13330What does this mean?
13330What harm can it do to give her a hearing?...
13330What is their cause?
13330What may we expect in the future?
13330What was the hope of the world?
13330What will be the fourth?
13330What will constitute the leading characteristics of the church of the future?
13330What will the future bring forth?
13330What, then, is the real cause of sects''?
13330What, then, is the real remedy for sects?
13330When their captors demanded of them the songs of Zion, they answered despairingly,"How shall we sing the Lord''s song in a strange land?"
13330Who can tell?
13330Who hath heard such a thing?
13330Who that embraces them is not ready to give his blood for the fulness of God''s grace?"
13330Who that inquires does not embrace our doctrines?
13330Will the sects themselves fade away and gradually become dissolved?
13330With God withdrawn from the world and Christ absent on a long journey, what was man to do?
13330[ Sidenote: What of the future?]
13330are all prophets?
13330are all teachers?
13330are all workers of miracles?
13330do all interpret?
13330do all speak with tongues?
13330have all the gifts of healing?
13330or shall a nation be born at once?
13330who hath seen such things?
13330who is able to make war with him?
13330who is able to make war with him?"
29074And what is that work?
29074From the Christian stand- point, why not?
29074May it not also be sinful?"
29074Sometimes the question would arise; Is our work done?
13360Are all these 33,583 Protestants more worthy of the name of Christian than some of the Roman Catholics?
13360Are there not enough non- Christians to be converted?
13360Are we to eliminate them?
13360But does that tell us their progress towards self- support unless we know what self- support implies?
13360But how shall we divide them?
13360But is there any expense which we can use to strike the proportion?
13360But what table can we draw?
13360But would not the definition of one great end or purpose hinder us?
13360Can we afford it?
13360Have the educational missionaries any duty in hospitals?
13360Have they any claim upon the care of educational missionaries?
13360How little difference in the work to be done does an error in that estimate make?
13360How then can we discover to what extent the Christians have mastered them?
13360How then can we gather together the returns from all the stations so as to present a view of the work in the province?
13360How then could we gain a vision of the whole, a whole composed of such vast and diverse parts?
13360If so, how many, and on what grounds?
13360Is it not plain that in dealing with considerable areas estimates may be useful though faulty?
13360Is not the denial of the Name to those who claim to be servants of Christ absurd?
13360Knock off or add on 50,000 and is the work to be done seriously affected?
13360Or shall we eliminate some of the 33,583?
13360Suppose we say that we want to send our missionaries where they are most needed, what information must we have to direct us?
13360The first question which we ought to answer in every case where our help is asked is this:"What do we want to do?
13360The second question is:"What must we know to enable us to act discreetly and wisely in this case?
13360Under these circumstances how can we express the position of the native Church with any approximation to truth?
13360What are the doctors there for?
13360What course then can we pursue?
13360What decides the form of their work and the method by which they pursue it?
13360What does the hospital exist to do?
13360What facts are properly to be taken into account in this matter?"
13360What figure then can we use?
13360What is our purpose in doing anything at all here?"
13360What purpose is dominant, what aim really governs the policy of those who send out evangelistic missionaries?
13360What sort of information then are we to seek concerning it?
13360What then does the status of a self- supporting Church imply?
13360What then is meant by a self- supporting Church?
13360When a man asks:"On the basis of what facts ought this or that to be done in the mission field?"
13360Who can tell?
13360Why 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?
13360Why, they might adopt a native governmental system-- something which they understood at once, quite easily, and then where should we be?
28712But why should the people have killed the Christians at all?
28712Did the American Missionary Association schools pay?
28712Did we feel rewarded for some sacrifices and privations?
28712Does not that show how education and Christianity increase needs and develop business and commerce?
28712Thus we sow beside all waters; what shall the harvest be?
28712Was n''t this better than some book lessons?
28712Were there no discouragements?
28712What will the harvest be?
28712When 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?
19939Do 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?''
19939And who that knows anything of human nature, or of the history of our race, ever supposed they would not be guilty of it?
19939He then turned to the members of the other sects and said,''How much do you want of these men?''
19939I then said,''How much money do you want?
19939Is it too much to pronounce him the Apostle to the Nestorians?
19939One of their earnest questions was,''Can we find salvation in the Greek Church?''
19939Some days after, I said;"How about the wife?''
19939The question was not,"What must I do to be saved?"
19939They are such as these:''Does this man understand the Scriptures''?
19939They would say,''What shall we do?
19939What is it to believe?
19939What may not be accomplished by such a party of Christian laborers, going into villages and neighborhoods unreached by other means?
19939What must I do?
19939What shall we answer them?"
19939What shall we collect?''
19939Will it not honor Christ?''
19939and"What are the doctrines of the Word of God?"
19939are you not a Christian''?"
19939but"What did our Church teach in the days of its purity?"
26022Where is thy brother?
26022And how is this to be done?
26022And where is the money coming from?
26022Are these conditions due to lack of money?
26022But what of those who are not gathered into these Christian schools?
26022Can we not learn a lesson from the farmer?
26022Can we not, each one of us,_ double our gifts_ to this work in this A. M. A. Jubilee year?
26022Have we brought the tithes all in?
26022Have we done it?
26022How do we know?
26022How is this problem to be solved?
26022Is not that just the place it always begins?
26022Is not this just the reason why our church work is so cold and lifeless?
26022My sisters, what do you think of it?
26022Our 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?
26022Shall I speak of the needs of our school boys and girls?
26022Shall we not return their grateful thought, by loving prayers, generous and sympathetic interest and every practical aid?
26022Was there ever such gracious opportunity to the Christian church to gather into the fold the"other sheep"of the Great Shepherd?
26022What is God''s way?
26022What is man''s way?
26022Why can not we use the same wisdom in spiritual matters?
26022Would He bring them in through us?
21774And what, when you have come to it, do you suppose to be your own function in this vast twofold scheme?
21774Are there not here, as the French proverb has it, plenty of cats for you to comb?
21774CHAPTER I WHAT IS MYSTICISM?
21774CHAPTER III THE PREPARATION OF THE MYSTIC Here the practical man will naturally say: And pray how am I going to do this?
21774Dare you call them the least significant, moments of your life?
21774Did 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?
21774Do you remember that horrid moment at the concert, when you became wholly unaware of your comfortable seven- and- sixpenny seat?
21774Do your hours of contemplation and of action harmonise?
21774Has it never happened to you to lose yourself for a moment in a swift and satisfying experience for which you found no name?
21774How is it going to fit in with ordinary existence?
21774How often in each day do you deliberately revert to an attitude of disinterested adoration?
21774How shall I detach myself from the artificial world to which I am accustomed?
21774How, above all, is it all going to help_ me_?"
21774How, then, can a wholesale and uncritical acceptance of my sensations help me to unite with Reality?
21774Is it for nothing, do you think, that you are thus a meeting- place of two orders?
21774Is that a theophany too?
21774Is there not here, then, abundance of practical work for you to do; work which is the direct outcome of your mystical experience?
21774The ultimate question,"What is Reality?"
21774Then the guardian at the gate, scrutinising and sorting the incoming impressions, will no longer ask,"What use is this to_ me_?"
21774What about_ your_ life?
21774What changes, what readjustments will this self- revelation involve for you?
21774What form, then, shall this action take?
21774What is it that smears the windows of the senses?
21774What is it, then, which distinguishes the outlook of great poets and artists from the arrogant subjectivism of common sense?
21774What is that great wind which blows without, in continuous and ineffable harmonies?
21774What next?
21774What then, in the last resort, is the source of this opposition; the true reason of your uneasiness, your unrest?
21774When the world took on a strangeness, and you rushed out to meet it, in a mood at once exultant and ashamed?
21774Where is the brake that shall stop the wheel of my image- making mind?
21774Who has not watched the intent meditations of a comfortable cat brooding upon the Absolute Mouse?
21774Will you suggest that my terrier, smelling his way through an uncoordinated universe, is a better mystic than I?"
27316Are not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, at his coming?"
27316BUT HOW IS HE GOING TO COME?
27316But some will say:"Do you then make the grace of God a failure?"
27316How did he go up?
27316I will send an angel after you?
27316If I go away I will send death after you to bring you to me?
27316Jesus said unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
27316LOST OR SAVED?
27316Now let the question go round,"Am I ready to meet the Lord if he comes to- night?"
27316Peter asks the question about John:"Lord what shall this man do?
27316Take 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?
27316Then in 1 Thessalonians, 2:19, he says:"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?
27316They do not want sinners to cry out in their meeting,"What must I do to be saved?"
27316Were the early Christians disappointed then?
27316What does Christ say to them?
27316Where do you get it?
22331A prophet? 22331 Who could abide such a fanatical, fiery fool?
22331Who shall begin the battle?
22331A Chocolate Christian?
22331A man clothed in soft raiment?"
22331A reed shaken by the wind?
22331AND WILT THOU NOT FEAR SHAME?
22331And what did the devil''s agent say when, after John''s death, he heard of Jesus?
22331But how can they call on Him of whom they have not even heard?
22331Ca n''t you go, young woman, and tell them?
22331Can not we Christians re- discover, and put into practice, that of our Great Master and His former pupils, Heroism?
22331Christ Himself asks thee,"Wilt thou be a Malingerer or a Militant?"
22331Did n''t the old prophet say he was a prophet?
22331Do what?
22331Hark to the Savior indulging in an outburst of exquisite sarcasm,"What think ye of John?
22331His army?
22331His cheek pales not, but his mouth moves, and I think I catch his words,"If God be for me who can be against me?
22331His open secret?
22331How was it done?
22331I?
22331In England?
22331Likewise 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?
22331Must you stay, young man?
22331Possessing and enjoying the vineyard, wilt thou, like the husbandman, refuse the agreed rent?
22331Shall your brethren go to war and shall ye sit here?
22331The leaders of religion sent to John to ask him the dearly loved question of every Pharisee,"By what authority doest thou these( good) things?"
22331The result?
22331Was he not the man greatly beloved of God who sent an angel to tell him so?
22331When He comes, shall He find faith on the earth?
22331When were God''s schemes otherwise?
22331Whence did this raw youth derive his pluck and skill?
22331Whence this desperate courage?
22331Where are you now?
22331Who does n''t love and admire him?
22331Wilt thou be a miser and withhold what honour demands of thee?
22331Wilt thou be to Christ the partner of His throne or an emetic( Revelation 3:21); a Militant or a Chocolate Christian?
22331Wilt thou fear death, or devil, or men?
22331Wilt thou fear or wilt thou fight?
22331Wilt thou give like Ananias and Sapphira, who, pretending to give all, gave only part?
22331Yet what hero has eclipsed his feat?
22331and say he''d got the message straight from God?
22331do your deeds give the lie to your words?
22331such an uncompromising character?
27714Why and How?
27714Are we not being well advertised?"
27714But a very natural question remains to be answered, namely, why have these missionaries gone to this island field?
27714Can we, dare we, turn one of these, His little ones, away?
27714First, who have gone in this pioneer band of missionaries to Porto Rico?
27714I said, addressing the leader,"Coyote, what do you want?"
27714She could not talk much, but in their sign language I asked,"Are you a Christian?"
27714What do you think?
27714Where have they gone and what fields are opening?
27714Will 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?
19365But how can you afford to lose a day''s money like that?
19365But what about the money for all these men?
19365But why are you not working to- day? 19365 Is there too great a burden on the shoulders of the Chinese Christians?
19365Were you not sorry to see them burnt, seeing that you had prepared them so carefully, and had spent a lot of money on them?
19365What about your beads? 19365 Why do n''t you try to save him?
19365But how should she begin?
19365But where was the money to come from?
19365Could such faithful work, done through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and through the constraining love of Christ, be in vain?
19365Could 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?
19365Did the Lord not have compassion on them, or had He ceased to care?
19365Do you know what happened last week?
19365For Christ''s sake to me; for Christ''s sake to Thee; Oh what, oh what shall the answer be?
19365Had the Lord changed in His love for them, or had He forgotten to be gracious?
19365Her 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?
19365Her husband''s death would be at her door, for had she not angered the idols in leaving them?
19365How can you play about like this?"
19365How could she do without it?
19365It comes unto me; it comes unto thee; Oh what, oh what shall the answer be?
19365Now, how much is it worth?
19365On her last Sunday morning on earth she asked,"Who is coming to preach to- day?"
19365Pulling out one straw, and showing it to her, we said,"Do you see that straw?
19365Shall we not unite our voices with hers?
19365Some months before his baptism we asked him,"Grandfather Hsü, what about your boxes of clothes and all your paper money?"
19365Some one said,''I see you have a big burden, have n''t you?''
19365The writer, putting her hand on Mrs. Lü''s shoulder, said,"Mrs. Lü, what are you doing this morning?
19365This was his dream; but was it not a clear call to that man to seek the things above?
19365Was it not because he believed God and took Him simply at His word?
19365Was it possible to flee from the suffering in the next world?
19365Was there anything that could give her aching heart some comfort, her despairing soul some hope?
19365What about you?
19365What am I to do?"
19365What had happened to the man?
19365What is our part to be?
19365What is the outcome to be?
19365What might that be?
19365What more could be said?
19365What 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?
19365What was she to do?
19365What was to be done next?
19365Where are they going to be hung?"
19365Where had they gone?
19365Why did they not prosper in everything as before?
19365Why do you not call them?"
19365Why should he reveal to her what he had hidden from the other worshippers?
19365Yet, what were they to do?
14383But what are they among so many?
143833. Who should do it?
14383A life so radiant and beneficent on earth, what must it be now that it has been translated, and transfigured into the celestial?
14383After some days''delay the Secretary of War said to a friend,"What does the Bishop want?
14383And is there any case of urgency about it?
14383Are not these facts suggestive?
14383As for ourselves, what are we disposed to do about it?
14383But does not the magnificent gift of Mr. Hand lift the Association above such dependence on the churches?
14383But how shall we convey to them the blessings of intelligent, Christian home life?
14383But there is a second thought; is this gift to be a blessing to us or a curse?
14383But why enlarge upon these particulars?
14383Can any of our subscribers supply the want to a college so long and so closely identified with the early struggles of the Association?
14383Do you not blush at one of the reasons for this hesitation?
14383He might have done that, but what would have been the gain over the present plan?
14383Hear the Jew:"Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us to die in the wilderness?"
14383How can we help loving such a man?
14383How do you, the individual givers to this Association, regard this gift?
14383If anything is to be done by us, how much should be done?
14383If so, of how much importance is it?
14383Is it not a grand work, worthy your heartiest support?
14383Is it not a proper name, when, in order to get votes, schools are to be closed and children left in ignorance?
14383Is it not at least so well provided for that the churches need not be so regular and liberal in their contributions?
14383Is it worth while to attempt Christian missions among the Chinese in our own country?
14383Is there not here a Divine purpose that the church should be quick to see and prompt to carry out?
14383Only four?
14383Only four?
14383Only four?
14383Shall we allow longer such a stain?
14383Shall we be obliged to constitute Law and Order Leagues to see that the laws of the United States are executed?
14383Shall we leave him with his"Land and Law"without God?
14383Shall we not then meet it as the stewards of God, whose servants and disciples we are?
14383The question now asks itself:"Why were not these hopeful missionary efforts to these pagan tribes more permanent?
14383What are these among so many?
14383What kind of homes do we find among these people, where the children with their impressible minds are receiving their first instruction?
14383What proportion is there between the two?
14383What shall be done with this leadership?
14383What turned the tide of success and left the missions stranded?"
14383What will the Christianity of America do for them?
14383When did the colored man have a better and more faithful friend than he?
14383When it is said, that he is the"best beloved of all,"is it not because he first loved us?
14383Who was more completely and absolutely identified with his interests than he?
14383Who will place a Christian college among the mountain whites?
14383Why should her sons go back to her?
14383Why this cruelty?
14383Will the ladies of the churches provide the means?
14383Will 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?
14383You may say, what are ten thousand youth among ten millions?
14383You never had to ask, Is Mr. Powell in a proper mood to see his friends to- day?

18930And who,said a weeping Arab, on hearing of his death, smiting on his breast,"who will now present the Gospel to us?
18930What,said his friend,"would you worship the devil?"
18930''And what if they should?
18930''Why do you weep?''
18930''Why?
18930A number in each came to their teachers with the inquiry,"What shall I do to be saved?"
18930And who would not weep at such a scene?
18930At Beirût, he said, he could only use his pen,"but who is there in this country,"he asked,"that reads?"
18930Be it that I take the blessed Bible as my only guide to heaven, does that injure you?
18930Did you publish this book, entitled"Jonas King''s Defense, etc.?"
18930Do many attend this service in the afternoon?
18930Do you invite people to come to your preaching, or do they come of their own accord?
18930Do you know how to write?
18930Has it, after all, been so disproportioned to the results?
18930Have all our fathers gone to hell?"
18930Have you any defense to make?''
18930Have you any other service?
18930Have you anything to add?
18930Have you anything to say by way of defense?
18930How many are there, with all our knowledge and strength of religious principle, who, in his situation, would like him be faithful unto death?
18930Is it a crime that renders me worthy of being taken as a malefactor, and sent into confinement?"
18930Must all we have done for salvation go for nothing?
18930Now how much of this has there been in Syria?
18930Of what avail are such pretensions as yours, who are in the broad road to perdition?''
18930Of what city?
18930Powers thought the effect of these sufferings had been salutary on all the brethren.1 1_ Missionary Herald_, 1806,[ sic, 1846?]
18930The religion of the Oriental Orthodox Church?
18930The two grand inquiries ever present to your minds will be, WHAT GOOD CAN BE DONE?
18930What can be done for Jews?
18930What do you preach?
18930What for Christians?
18930What for Mohammedans?
18930What for Pagans?
18930What for the people in Palestine?
18930What for those in Egypt, in Syria, in Persia, in Armenia, in other countries to which your inquiries may be extended?"
18930What had he here to do?
18930What had he to enjoy?
18930What have I done against you?
18930What is my crime, that it should have called together such an assemblage?
18930What is your age?
18930What is your name?
18930What is your profession?
18930What is your religion?
18930What religion is meant?
18930When he found that they could outreason him, he said, rather petulantly,''What is the use of your talking?
18930When they heard this, they fell to beating him anew, saying,''Have we need of your preaching, you deceiver?
18930Why are you falling out with them?
18930Why should he not leave you?"
18930Why should he stay with you here?
18930Why should you preach?
18930Would it be a calamity to our people to receive the Word of God as a body, and endeavor to follow it?
18930Yet there were opposers at Geog Tapa, who said,"Why all this ado?
18930You have been called a Protestant, and you seek to wipe this blot from your name; but have you not already done enough?
18930Your country?
18930and BY WHAT MEANS?
18930what will they( meaning the missionaries) do unto me?''
13069And what do you do?
13069Mickey,he said,"why did you lie?"
13069Say,he asked,"Do yoh t''ink a fullah ought to snitch on a kid?"
13069What gang?
13069)__ C_: For what are we bound together?
13069And who will say that the virtue of cheerfulness is not one of the most delightful and welcome forms of philanthropy?
13069Being unable to give an answer immediately favorable to our growing friendship, I countered with"What do_ you_ belong to?"
13069But even so, will the minister consent to be without voice or program in the shaping of social ethics?
13069But how can the schoolboy come into the self- respect of partnership?
13069But how will he go about it?
13069But some will say,"Why take the boy out of the home at all?
13069But what can the minister do?
13069Could he not interest his boys''organization in beautifying the church grounds and so enlist them in a practical altruistic endeavor?
13069D''yu think I''m goin''to have kids lie to me?"
13069Does such an attitude contribute to man''s highest good and to the strength and scope of religious control?
13069How can he relate his life to the great perplexing world and to the God of all?
13069How can he win his immediate battles with temptation?
13069How shall he gain self- control, how can he find himself?
13069If they are unlovely,"smart,"sophisticated, ungrateful, and predatory, what has made them so?
13069In 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?
13069Is it better to alienate and outlaw so important a phase of human existence or to bring it into intelligent accord with the divine will?
13069Is it not better to find new values in the old field than to pursue superficial values in a succession of new fields?
13069Must he dodge the greatest moral problems of the day, all of which are collective?
13069Shall he besiege his church for expensive equipment, perhaps for a new building?
13069Shall he print posters of a great mass- meeting to organize a boys''club?
13069The 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?
13069The shortage is in deeds, and the doubtful community is saying to the minister,"What do you do?"
13069What course should be followed with the pre- adolescent boy in order that the youth may be not less but more religious?
13069What do the home, school, church, and community tell them as to citizenship, and, of more importance, what civic attitudes and actions are evoked?
13069Who has inverted the prophetic promise and given them ashes for beauty and the spirit of heaviness for the garment of praise?
13069Will he follow meekly and at a safe distance in the wake of the modern movement for economic justice and humane living conditions?

13533But should not the child control himself?
13533Do you mean,''Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord''?
13533How is it that you always have a perfect spelling lesson at school?
13533What is the best way to keep a boy from eating green apples?
13533Why, do n''t you know that Jesus sits in the seat with me every day and helps me?
13533And is it not the one thing above all others, which teachers, mothers, fathers and all of us, need to understand?
13533Before considering this vital question, shall we note some characteristics of the feelings in Early Childhood?
13533But just what is meant by it?
13533But why is the absurdity not equally apparent in saying,"Be loving,""Be sorry,""Be reverent?"
13533Can we be less pitifully tender toward His little ones?
13533First, what kind of impressions should we attempt to store in the memory during childhood?
13533Has not a plant been positively injured when its most beautiful possibilities are unrealized because of unfavoring conditions?
13533He is taken to school by his mother; must she forever accompany him to insure his safe arrival?
13533How is it carried on?"
13533How may the Feelings be Aroused?
13533How then may this great force be nurtured so that greatest results shall follow?
13533I expect to go now, but what of those seven years?"
13533Is it not strange that there is such distorted perspective and false balance of values in regard to what is worth while?
13533Is 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?
13533Is not a body, undersized and stunted because of lack of fresh air and food, as truly deformed as though the back were bent?
13533Is not the work of nurture plain?
13533Is not this the explanation of so many meagre lives?
13533Is there any question as to the outcome, with a father and a father''s God within?
13533Is there no way of understanding a present experience except by passing through it?
13533Is this one meaning in the Master''s words,"Inasmuch as ye did it,"or"Inasmuch as ye did it not?"
13533It is rather,"Are these things included in the ideal of a Christian life, as it is held by those whom I want to touch?"
13533Must some one always watch him, year after year, to save him from a succession of burns?
13533Second, how may these impressions be made permanent?
13533The First Principle deals with the nature of life-- What is it?
13533The child must do the right, but, in a nutshell-- which is the stronger constraint-- outer or inner?
13533The only legitimate question is,"What is the work of nurture in connection with the feelings?"
13533The question,"What is my touch upon this unfolding life?"
13533This can be done, for the brain will retain the sound of the words, but meantime, what shall the child feed on?
13533To whom shall the task be given?
13533V. The very important question now arises,"How may these crucial times be recognized?"
13533What can be trained?
13533What is the significance of it all in the life of the child?
13533What shall he use?
13533Where does nurture begin?
13533Which makes character surer, the voice without, saying,''You must,''or the voice within which says it?
13533Who was gone?
13533Will hands clumsy and unskilled, miss the perfect beauty, or the touch of master workmanship bring forth a likeness to the Christ?
13533You who let it slip,"How will you go up to your Father and the lad be not with you?"
13460And 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?
13460And why?
13460Are not the remedies which have been proposed for prevalent vices absurdly incompetent?
13460But as soon as we form the wish we say,"What can we do?
13460Do we not reflect a thousand things that Christ disapproves?
13460How can hearts steeped in worldliness reflect this absolutely unworldly, this heavenly Person?
13460How can many of our fellow- citizens secrete themselves for prayer?
13460How can such hearts reflect this perfect purity of Christ?
13460How can you tell in what class in society a man has been brought up?
13460How could they rank Him with those old prophets whom God had dealt with so differently and so plainly honoured?
13460How 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?
13460How is it that society moulds a man?
13460How was it that he knew that even though he made his bed in hell he would find God?
13460How 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?
13460Is it the appeal that a prospect of gain makes to us that we respond to eagerly?
13460Is it to appeals that this world makes to us?
13460Is this He who can save the lost, He who can bear the weight of a world''s dependence?
13460Look into any family, and what do you see?
13460Might not this ignominious death He looked forward to make it impossible for the people to believe in Him?
13460Nay, did not their sacred books justify them in considering Him accursed of God?
13460Need we ask?
13460Now how is it with us?
13460Surely no man thinks that this is a hardship; that his nature and life will be restricted by giving himself wholly to Christ?
13460This being a common attitude of mind towards fancied blessings, how does God deal with it?
13460Very solemnly our Lord has put it to them:"Who say ye that I am?"
13460Was it not possible that as easy an exodus might befit Him?
13460Was it not, after all, possible that His kingdom might be established by other means?
13460What can we do?"
13460What 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?
13460What happens when we are living separated from some one we love?
13460What has resulted when we have tried the other process?
13460What have we seen time after time in our own Parliament, but the civil power rending its garments over evils which it can not cure?
13460What is it that has kept me from responding to the perfect beauty of Christ''s character?
13460What is it that our heart responds to when we are engaged in business?
13460What is to be done with such persons?
13460What 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?
13460When we go along the street, what is it that we reflect?
13460When we look into our hearts, what do we find in point of fact?
13460Who commands our reverence as He does?
13460Who has done for us what Christ has done?
13460Who would be now a father in my stead?
13460Why did Peter feel it was good for him to be there?
13460Why is it?
13460Why?
13460Why?
13460Would people not almost necessarily accept the death of the cross as proof that He was abandoned?
13460much more truly may Christ say, Who sins and I am not ashamed?
30220By permission of Mr. Holman Hunt, and of Mrs. Holt, Liverpool] CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE_ How is it that ye sought Me?
30220Now what can this picture teach you?
30220Now, what shall we say is the meaning of the Bible vision which this picture brings afresh before our eyes?
30220What did he mean our minds and hearts to understand by them all?
30026Where was he born?
30026Had the question been, Where was the American Board of Foreign Missions born?
30026He was once asked,"How did you educate four sons at Yale College, and give each a profession?"
30026His teacher then mocked his own awkward style, when he exclaimed several times:"me walk so?"
30026With these ideals in their minds, may we not expect followers of the Judsons, the Moffats, the Fiskes and the Rankins?
29556Can you give us a little fuller account of the work?
29556For is not this, of all others, the enterprise which"takes the gold right out of the country?"
29556Is there any such field in our country as that presented at the South?
29556Second-- Will you aid, and how?
29556The 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?"
29556Whom could I suggest?
29556Will not the friends of Christ help us"remember the poor?"
29556and do you have teachers among the poor white women of the South?
2589120- 23?
25891ARE YOU PREPARED FOR ETERNITY?
25891Am_ I_ willing to give according to_ my_ ability?
25891And how came this?
25891And how should our Father do otherwise?
25891And why not?
25891Are you prepared for eternity?
25891But how were we to obtain warmth?
25891But what was to be done?
25891Do you ask, how you may be prepared for eternity, how to be saved, how to obtain the forgiveness of your sins?
25891Does the Lord love you less than He loves us?
25891He writes:--"What was now to be done, dear reader, under these circumstances, when all the money for the above Objects was again gone?
25891Is it not manifest how precious it is to carry on God''s work in this way, even with regard to the obtaining of means?"
25891May you not do, what we do, under your_ trials_?
25891Or are we better than you?
25891The question now was, to whom shall I be united?
25891Well, the Father in Heaven said, as it were, by this His dispensation,''Art thou willing to give up this child to me?''
25891What then was to be done?
25891What was now to be done, dear Reader?
25891What was to be done?
25891Would it have been right to charge God with unfaithfulness?
25891Would it have been right to distrust Him?
25891Would it have been right to say, it is useless to pray?
25891You ask, How may I, a true believer, have my faith strengthened?
25891You may say, however,''What would you do, if He should fail in helping you?''
30675Is there any other form of worship suggested for which as much can be said?
30675The 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?
23123But what do you do to this god at the feast?
23123Daniel said to the sick man,` Do you believe that their god can harm you?''
23123Daniel''s wife then added,` But we all think you will die; are you afraid to die?''
23123G."But do n''t you sweep the floor and sprinkle it with water every day?"
23123G."How do you worship your god?
23123G."How is it, master shepherd, that you do such a silly thing as this?
23123G."Is the temple, where your god is, very clean?"
23123G."What is your name?"
23123G."_ Bir- ap- pa_, eh?
23123Have they given you any of the money to live upon?"
23123He said,` This is a little one, whose is it?''
23123He took hold of my hand, and said,` What are those?''
23123Hearing which, the shepherd said to himself,"What trouble has come now?
23123If a temple like this is not clean, what is, Sir?"
23123If anything be said to the people of the village on the subject, they will say,"What can we do?
23123If god''s place is not clean, what is?
23123If one let go your name, he wo n''t catch it again, eh?
23123Many 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?
23123On seeing them he said,"What have you brought these things here for?"
23123S."What can I tell you, Sir?
23123S."Who is to sweep it every day, eh?
23123Seeing the shepherd, who thus came and stood, the gentleman entered into conversation with him, as follows: G."Well, Sir,_ Gowda_, who are you?"
23123Then I felt angry too, and replied,` Why do you bawl out in that way?
23123They said,"Will your God maintain you if you sit doing nothing at home?"
23123Well, what is your god''s name?"
23123What connection can there be between boils on a human body and the image of a serpent?
23123What have you got in that box?"
23123What should god be like?
23123When I was an enemy to God, He protected and took care of me; and now I am His child, will He forsake me?
23123Whilst 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?
23123Why should I stay in his way?
23123` Might we enter without taking off our shoes?''
23123` Might we enter?''
23123and how often?"
23123and where are you going with it?"
23123did your Missionaries leave Goobbe because they had no food?"
23123is it proper to do so?
23123what is he like?"
20289But how could that happen to us?
20289But 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?"
20289Is it possible that He asked us to do something that is beyond our powers of accomplishment?
20289Is there an answer to these confusions and ambiguities?
20289The answer to his questions, Who am I?
20289The basic question is: Who am I?, and associated with it is its partner question: Who are you?
20289The basic question is: Who am I?, and associated with it is its partner question: Who are you?
20289The 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?
20289The question then is: What is the mode and place of its self- giving?

20289What, then, is the answer to this human problem?
20289What, then, were those concepts and meanings that made it so difficult for them to hear and understand their minister?
20289When asked why they do not discuss problems of the church within the church, ministers often reply:"What would my people think of me?

26357And how would the tidings be given in these days?
26357And what do we mean by their safety?
26357Are they safe?
26357Are you astray from Him?
26357But is your eye towards Him, and your heart and your foot moving that way?
26357But of what kind is its youth?
26357But who shall tell the king of this?
26357Do they ask where they shall find Him?
26357From the mouth of David it meant I think only, Does Absalom still live?
26357Have any of the captains fallen?"
26357If it meant only in that case, is he alive?
26357Is he not among the slain?
26357Is it drooping in some minds?
26357Let 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?
26357My younger brethren, shall the life that you are living be a blessing to you and not a curse?
26357Or is it well with him?
26357Shall it be to those around you a blessing and not a curse?
26357Shall the Absaloms abound?
26357The 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?
26357Was the slaughter great?
26357We know there are some in these days who ask the question--"Are you saved?"
26357What instead of this shall keep them straight in their way?
26357Who shall tell the king of what has happened?
26357meaning by that,"Have you the eternal salvation?"
26357not fulfilling His word?
26357or the Josephs and the Josiahs?

14596Christ is lost, like the piece of money in the parable; but where? 14596 How can a man be just with God?"
14596How can any external revelation help me,he asks,"unless it be verified by inner experience?
14596Is he sick? 14596 Quid cælo dabimus?
14596What if earth Be but the shadow of heaven, and things therein Each to other like, more than on earth is thought?
14596What is heaven to a reasonable soul? 14596 What is the good of the dead bones of saints?"
14596What more beautiful image of the Divine could there be,he asks,"than this world, except the world yonder?"
14596Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? 14596 Whom should I find,"he asks,"to reconcile me to Thee?
14596Why turn ye back to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage again? 14596 _ Where_ is heaven?"

14596A soul confined within the private and narrow cell of its own particular being?
14596Amiel expresses exactly the same regret as Wordsworth:"Shall I ever enjoy again those marvellous reveries of past days?..."
14596And Smith:"Who can tell the delights of those mysterious converses with the Deity, when reason is turned into sense, and faith becomes vision?
14596And after describing a vision of the crucifixion, she says,"How might any pain be more than to see Him that is all my life and all my bliss suffer?"
14596And again he says,[208]"What is this which flashes in upon me, and thrills my heart without wounding it?
14596And what are the truths which contemplation revealed to him?
14596And who is''He''?
14596Besides, what sane man would wish to be deceived in such a matter?]
14596But does not this conviction itself bring with it unspeakable comfort?
14596But if evil is derived from God, how can God be good?
14596But in what sense is the ideal world"subordinate"?
14596But what is this knowledge?
14596But what remains?
14596Diogenes is reported to have asked,"What say you?
14596Et alors n''y a- t- il pas au fond des symboles autant_ d''être_ que sous les phénomènes?
14596Have I not myself distinguished two kinds of magic?
14596Having thus hunted evil out of every corner of the universe, he asks-- Is evil, then, simply privation of good?
14596He begins by asking,"What is the_ Wesen_ of Mysticism?"
14596How could we be aware of that infinite distance, if there were not something within us which can span the infinite?
14596How could we feel that God and man are incommensurable, if we had not the witness of a higher self immeasurably above our lower selves?
14596How then should it be that thou shouldest not have thy beseeching?''
14596How was this"salvation"attained or conferred?
14596IN THE WEST"Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"
14596If it be further asked, Which is our personality, the shifting_ moi_( as Fénelon calls it), or the ideal self, the end or the developing states?
14596Is not this the Platonic doctrine of_ anamnesis_, Christianised in a most beautiful manner?
14596Is this an integral part of the mystic''s"upward path"?
14596It is, in the first instance, the resolution"to stand or fall by the noblest hypothesis"; that is( may we not say?
14596Many a solitary ascetic has prayed in the words of the 73rd Psalm:"Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
14596Of teaching founded upon the historical narrative, he says,"What better method could be devised to assist the masses?"
14596PRACTICAL AND DEVOTIONAL MYSTICISM--_continued_"Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
14596Quite in the spirit of St. John he asks,"How can that course be safe, which from the first produces carelessness to human love?"
14596See the whole sermon, entitled,_ What is Religion?_ and many other parts of the book.]
14596Should I approach the angels?
14596The question is, which of the two sets of words best expresses the relation of the ransomed soul to its Redeemer?
14596The 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?"
14596We may invert it, What do you return within to see?
14596What 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?
14596What can it matter whether the Eucharistic bread and wine are consecrated or not?
14596What then is our security against delusions?
14596What then?
14596Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
14596Why 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?...
14596Will Patæcion the thief be happier in the next world than Epaminondas, because he has been initiated?"
14596With what prayers, with what rites?

16172Are you in that work?
16172Do you get no protection from the police?
16172How shall this problem be solved? 16172 Why,"said I,"what are you talking about?"
16172And have we not forgotten that the God of the Gibeonites lives to be the avenger of the Indians?
16172And what was the result?
16172And why?
16172Are you willing to take the cost?''
16172But is it more than a look?
16172But is n''t there something in it after all?
16172But now what may we learn from Christ himself in the New Testament?
16172But who are these for whom we are peculiarly responsible, and why is there so especial need of_ woman''s_ work?
16172But", he adds,"what do we see?
16172Can we meet this duty with less than$ 500,000 for the current year?
16172Do n''t you know, and I know that the world is growing smaller every year?
16172Do we believe that all men are brothers?
16172Do we believe that the Holy Ghost who renewed our hearts can renew these?
16172Do we believe that the Lord who died for us, died for the world?
16172Do we stop to estimate what two millions of souls means?
16172Do you believe these facts are accidents?
16172Do you imagine that that fact would absolve us from allegiance to the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ?
16172Do you know that that ancient foe of liberty is stalking all across the twelve States of the South?
16172Do you know what it means to have the Church of Rome take in hand these people of lowly and of feeble intelligence?
16172Do you know what that means?
16172Does one strike me?
16172Have not these"Busy Bees"in New Hampshire set a good example to other children''s societies?
16172Have we not broken almost every treaty that we ever made with them?
16172Have we not said, unpityingly regarding them, that their destruction before the advance of civilization is inevitable?
16172How are you going to manage this thing?
16172How did it ever spring from an expenditure of$ 11,000 annually to$ 52,000, as it is to- day?
16172How many hundred have they?
16172How shall we prevent the conflict between races?"
16172Is it a dream?
16172Is it not the problem as to which of two theories shall maintain itself concerning the masses which are at the base of society?
16172Is it not worse to mash and disable a mind and a soul than a hand?
16172Is n''t it better that eight millions shall go?
16172Is n''t it the problem here concerning white and black, red and yellow alike?
16172Is n''t that the problem in every nation?
16172Is this magnificent sum too much to ask for the year now auspiciously begun?
16172Might it not compose the differences?
16172More than all, shall the great gospel of God, which is life, and hope, and peace, and home, for us, be nothing for them?
16172Shall the greatest tidal wave of all time pass them by, and they not feel it for a moment?
16172Shall this$ 500,000 for the current work of the Association for 1889 be furnished to it?
16172The first question was: How shall liberty be proclaimed to the captive and the enslaved become free?
16172The labor problem, do you call it?
16172The subject for discussion was,"How Shall We Black Men Secure Our Rights?"
16172Were any of you down at Oklahoma this last season?
16172Were 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?
16172What can the Secretary do?
16172What could she do?
16172What do we propose to do about it?
16172What do you think would have been his response to that sort of argument?
16172What is it?
16172What is it?
16172What is it?
16172What is the problem of the planet to- day?
16172What then?
16172What was the result of the story?
16172What, my brethren, shall be our answer?
16172When this people in the wilderness cried out in their distresses,"Who will speak for us?"
16172Who but the Christian women of our churches, either directly or by substitutes?
16172Who should do it, and how?
16172Who should do it?
16172Whom is it for?
16172Would not the value of organization be shown in the larger flow of funds annually for a work of such pressing necessity as this?
16172here just now and here so persistently?
28479And 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?"
28479And whence those angels there?"
28479And wilt Thou not in mercy say,"Thy many sins I take away"?
28479Are there no joys that linger long In sweetness, like a heavenly song?
28479But is ignorance in many cases not culpable?
28479But why refer specially to Russia as a product of Greek missionary effort?
28479Did e''er such love incline the heart To take the erring sinner''s part?
28479Do not they who tacitly ignore the existence of the Blessed Dead?
28479How would the Church in these islands have stood such fiery trials?
28479I Heavy laden with thy grief, Do thy tears like raindrops flow?
28479I 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?
28479II Did''st Thou not send the Son, To shew the Father''s grace, To bid a world undone Arise and seek His face?
28479II Say, came He forth by myriads led?-- Come, gaily sound his praises high; A crown of gold upon his head?
28479II Why seek the vain that dies?
28479II"Can you not watch one hour?"
28479II"Who is this in garb of light, Come to chase our night away?
28479III And all my aims are lost, And all my striving vain,-- Wilt Thou refresh my soul, And visit me again?
28479III Are there no gains that last, To bless the soul for aye, When passing things are past, And things of earth decay?
28479III Did e''er such mercy lead the great To stoop from high to low estate?
28479III Hast thou no oil?
28479III Weary, laden with thy sin, Dost thou bow beneath the load?
28479III"O whence that flashing sword that gleams?
28479IV Wilt Thou own the gift I bring?
28479Is it not so in our case?
28479Its echo dying, lingered, sank,"My Lord, have I no grace to thank?"
28479Such is their reputation, not always just, but who can say that it has not, on the whole, been earned?
28479The fame, the power that flies With the expiring breath?
28479The good that carries ill besides, And for a fleeting hour abides?
28479The life begirt by death?
28479To an unpractised eye, if no indication of the source of these hymns had been given, could anything about them have suggested their source?
28479V"O let me in, my lamp''s aglow; How could I, Lord, Thy coming know?
28479What, then, is the net result?
28479Who doubts the fact?
28479Who is this in glorious might, Brings to us eternal day?"
28479Why didst thou not the hours control?
28479Why in the darkness slumber still, Without the oil your lamp to fill?
28479Would 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?
28479Would we have continued an enterprising missionary Church through it all?
30370There is He,I faintly whispered,"Read I not upon His face, That his heart is full of pity, Full, to sinful worms, of grace?"
30370And must the cross attend my way, And load my spirit night and day?
30370Are there none of my companions, Will from life attend me forth, Or will fondly watch beside me In the cold and silent earth?
30370Are there not myriads now in bliss, Whose cry on earth was often this?
30370Fix a dwelling, Lord, in Goshen-- Shall thine Israel be denied?
30370For 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?
30370From Edom whom see I returned More beauteous than break of the dawn?
30370O hear the groaning Of the earth beneath her wrong; Time it is that thou wert stirring, Why, O why hast slept so long?
30370Rescue Zion for thy praise, From affliction: Are not these the promised days Of salvation?
30370Shedding tears and heaving sighs, When my need of thee is greatest, When thy doting votary dies?
30370Strange Thou shouldst have looked on me-- Worthless, guilty: Who can count my debt to Thee, Lord, most holy?
30370The ravenous wolf lurks near thy path; No fold is nigh, where wilt thou flee?
30370Thorns had the Saviour of mankind His only Crown while here below: Could Earth no other garland find With which to deck his holy brow?
30370Unhappy soul, what sayest thou To one with power and love All thy transgressions to forgive, Thy misery to remove?
30370Was he a King?
30370What thy portion, joy or mourning, In the world beyond the tomb?
30370When I depart for other worlds, What friend will cleave to me?
30370When death''s cold and turbid waters, To their bosom me receive, Who will dissipate the darkness, Who my terror will relieve?
30370When shall thy bliss be mine?
30370Where thine everlasting home?
30370Where will be thine endless dwelling?
30370Who amid the swelling billows Can sustain my sinking head?
30370Wilt follow Him, poor guilty soul?
30370Wilt follow Him, sad, needy soul?
30370wilt thou not prove That strong and deep Foundation Which Earth, nor Hell, can move?
30370yea; to his throne Heaven, Earth, and Hell allegiance owe; Nor glory his, nor power alone,-- What heart such depths of grief can know?
31670And is there any one fact, which the progress of events is now making, more manifest than the oneness of all mankind?
31670But though we will not meddle with public affairs, who shall answer for it that public affairs will not meddle with us?
31670How can it be otherwise?
31670Who can help having his attention arrested and engrossed?
31670Who shall define the circle and the sphere of the private individual?
31670Who would not rather suffer with the Right than prosper with the Wrong?
31670what heart, hitherto cold, will not consecrate itself to the work of its abolition?
31670what if I am political?
31670what if every pulpit in the land should be ringing in these days with political events?
13294Keeping in touch with Godis an expression much used in these days by people professing holiness, but what does it imply?
13294Such a picture,you may say,"is very beautiful and inspiring to look upon, but where is the reality?"
13294What? 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"?
13294Did you ever attempt to look to the end of eternity?
13294Did you say you had not time for prayer?
13294Do men and angels meet to sing?
13294Do you desire to feel the holy flame of love burning in all its intensity in your soul?
13294Do you have any desire to become more like Jesus?
13294Do you long for deeper joys?
13294Do you not remember it, dear reader?
13294Do you want them to know how good and great the Lord is, and nothing more?
13294Do you want to do all you can for him?
13294Do you want to dwell in heaven with him forever?
13294For what end do you want these ornaments?
13294Has he been stirring up your nest?
13294Has he flung you out until you feel lost in an element that is new and strange?
13294Have they any beauty?
13294Have you endeavored to comprehend its duration?
13294Have you ever seen an eagle stir up her nest?
13294Have you not often been in some solitary place and given yourself into the arms of Muse?
13294Have you not stood beside the infant''s crib and watched it go peacefully to sleep?
13294Have you nothing to cover you but that thin gown?"
13294He spoils everything; what for?
13294How many golden moments are flying away into eternity unladen with any fruit from your life?
13294I hear the notes of seraph song, The rustle of an angel''s wing; Do signs like these to earth belong?
13294If he so clothes each tuft and tree And gives the birds such liberty, Will he not clothe and care for me?
13294Is a happy life worth anything to you?
13294Is not that mother bird cruel?
13294Let me ask you, Are you as diligent in every respect as the Bible commands you to be?
13294O my young reader, will you not be watchful and prayerful and let God live in you and bring forth fruit to his own glory?
13294O reader, has your case been described?
13294Satan understood this in the case of Job; so he said to the Lord,"Doth Job serve God for naught?"
13294Some one may ask,"Is not marriage honorable?
13294Some one may have done you much harm, now what must you do?
13294Songs of birds and streamlet rippling, Meadow, flowers, and leafy tree, Make of earth a land of beauty-- What indeed must heaven be?
13294The One who clothes the lily fair And gives it tender, earnest care-- Will he not hear my fervent prayer?
13294The One who notes the sparrow''s fall-- Does he not love his creatures all?
13294The zephyrs blow divinely sweet, With fragrance fill the balmy air; Are heav''n and earth about to meet?
13294Then what does she do?
13294Thou hast adorned thy wall with the money which might have screened this poor creature from the cold''?
13294To please God?
13294We shall also ask, Is it really possible?
13294What if the duties do seem hard and the way seems weary?
13294What if the thorns prick your feet?
13294What is it?
13294What is she doing?
13294What must be a language without love?
13294What then?
13294What, in its true sense, is a holy life?
13294When 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?
13294Where are the eaglets?
13294Where shall I spend it?
13294Where was the pain?
13294Where, I say, can you find more of heaven?
13294Who can this vision bright declare?
13294Who knows what the morrow may have in store?
13294Who would not consider it a great honor and blessed privilege to be admitted into the courts of the lords and the kings of earth?
13294Why are there so many anxious hearts, so much unrest, so many discontentments and fears?
13294Why does she disturb the eaglets?
13294Will you do it?
13294and does not God join hearts together in love?"
13294and would you love to have them grace your own soul?
13294for a closer walk with God?
13294for a greater sense of the divine fulness?
13294for a sweeter balm of hope to be shed upon your soul?
13294know 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?"
13294or do you want them to know that you are the author?
13294who can repeat this word and not feel and hear a sweet rythm reverberating through all the avenues of his spiritual being?

30085But as you burn with the intenseness and rapid blaze of heated phosphorus, why should we not make the most of you?
30085He answered very coolly''Yes,''as much as to say,''What then?''
30085How should this consideration quell the tumult of anger and impatience when I can not convince men''the government is on His shoulders?''
30085How 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?
30085I asked him,''What sinners must do to obtain pardon?''
30085I asked,''Would repentance satisfy a creditor or a judge?''
30085Is that a correct notion?''
30085Is this an abstract and refined notion?''
30085My Moonshee said,''How can you prove this book( the gospel), to be the word of God?''
30085One of them said,''What will you say when your tongue is burnt out for this blasphemy?''
30085The former asked''if Christ had ever called himself God-- was he the Creator or a creature?''

30085The pale- faced Frank among them sits; what brought him from afar?
30085The young man assented to this and said,''of what use is it?''
30085This seemed very offensive to them,''and why must he be alone''?
30085Two 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?

30085from what part of the East did they come?

19308Are there any in Rangoon?
19308Are they foreigners?
19308Are you willing to part with me? 19308 Art Thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One?
19308But how,he asked,"came the wish for this knowledge?"
19308Can a mother forget?
19308Has God commanded kings and indunas to learn His word?
19308He is neither born nor begets,cried the Moollahs; and one said,"What will you say when your tongue is burnt out for blasphemy?"
19308How do you hope to obtain forgiveness?
19308How is your heart to be changed?
19308How many were present?
19308O vagabond,cried one man,"why didst thou not come to my house?
19308Said 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?
19308What was that sacrifice?
19308What? 19308 What?"
19308Who is GOD?
19308Why do things go so well with them and so hardly with me?
19308Will this be better than what I have found?
19308Will you forgive injuries?
19308Will you renounce all idolatry, feasts, poojahs, and caste?
19308Will you renounce the world, the flesh, and the devil?

19308And 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?
19308Are you like the Portuguese priests?
19308Are you married?"
19308Are you sure there is such a thing in existence, or are you merely subject to a delusion of the senses?"
19308But as you burn with the intenseness and rapid blaze of phosphorus, why should we not make the most of you?
19308But even if only one is gained, is not that an exceeding gain?

19308He writes:"What should a young minister do?

19308If a British cruiser descended on a slave- ship, and released her freight, should he not also deliver the captive wherever he met him?

19308If she answered,"It is matter,"he would reply,"And what is matter?
19308In particular, do you believe that the Son of God died on a cross?"
19308In the sun the bright waves glisten; Rising slow with solemn swell, Hark, hark, what sound unwonted?

19308Is it matter or spirit?
19308Is there no magic in the touch Of fingers thou dost love so much?
19308Mr. Brown, on hearing of his plan, consented in these remarkable terms:"Can I then bring myself to cut the string and let you go?
19308Presently he inquired,"How long a time will it take me to learn the religion of JESUS?"
19308She wept much, and the Bishop said,"Bring them both to me; who knows whether they may live to wish for it again?"
19308Such bitter disappointments occur in missionary life; and how should we wonder, since the like befel even St. Paul and St. John?
19308The examination was thus, the Bishop standing in the midst:--"Are you sinners?"
19308They demanded of him:"In the Gospel of Christ, is anything said of our Prophet?"
19308Was Corpus very much changed, when, only eleven years after, John Keble entered it at the same age?

27452How long, O Lord, how long?
27452How shall they preach, except they be sent?
27452Of whom speaketh the prophet this? 27452 But how can one who is not sure that Jesus ever uttered the words of the Great Commission urge the churches to fulfil that command of Christ? 27452 Can not a document have more than one author? 27452 Can we more surely dry up the sources of missionary contributions, than by yielding to the pernicious influence of this way of treating Scripture? 27452 Could one of these modern interpreters have taken the place of Philip, when he met the Ethiopian eunuch? 27452 Do men believe in Christ''s deity who ignore his promise to be with them to the end of the world, and who refuse to address him in prayer? 27452 He answers them by asking,How then doth David, in the Spirit, call him Lord?"
27452He must begin his investigations with one of two assumptions: Is the Bible only man''s word?
27452His searching examination propounds to the unbelieving Jews the question,"What think ye of the Christ?
27452How can one who has had no experience of Christ as a present and divine Saviour, have power to stand against the rationalism and apathy of the church?
27452How can one who has never felt his own need of an atonement adjure his brethren, by Christ''s death for their sins, not to let the heathen perish?
27452How should we reach that threatening height?
27452If his knowledge of things so essential be denied, what trust can we place in any other of his utterances?
27452In literature, is there any more acknowledged fact than that Erckmann- Chatrian''s battle- stories were the work of two writers, and not of one?
27452In painting, did not Landseer get Millais to paint the human figure into the picture of his dogs?
27452Is it a mere product of human intelligence?
27452On being asked who the father was, the mother replied:"How should I know?
27452Shall we begin with the particular, leaving out for the time all thought of the universal?
27452THE THEOLOGY OF MISSIONS 199- 212 Is man''s religious nature only a capacity for religion?
27452The heat reminded us of the conundrum:"Why is India, although so hot, the coldest country on the globe?"
27452They are only a good set of human beings made in the divine image, for is it not written that even"He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh"?
27452Was his interpretation of Scripture correct?
27452What are the facts in other realms of art?
27452What is the effect of this method of interpretation upon missions?
27452What is the effect of this method of interpretation upon the churches of our denomination?
27452What is the effect of this method upon our theological seminaries?
27452What is the truth in this matter?
27452What right has he to surrender himself, body and soul, to a man like himself?
27452What sort of systematic theology is left us, when the perverted historical method is made the only clue to the labyrinth of Scripture?
27452Whence has come this so- called"historical method"of interpreting Scripture?
27452Who can measure the corrupting influence of this temple upon the lives of the people over a wide area in Assam?
27452Who shall count the billows past?
27452Ye divinities on earth, sinners?
27452of himself, or of some other?"
27452or, Is it also Christ''s word?
27452whose son is he?"
20747Are you happy here?
20747Deaconess,149. how become?
20747How are you punished here?
20747How many know how to read? 20747 What have you done deserving punishment?"
20747Who would not gladly render service on the spot where the feet of the Saviour once brought help and healing to the sick?
20747[ 94] Have we not as great need of deaconesses as any of the cities of the Old World? 20747 1861 27 1,197? 20747 And shall not our Christian women be capable and willing to undertake the care of the sick for Christ''s sake?
20747And were not older, more experienced pastors than I better adapted for this difficult undertaking?
20747And what is the training that has made them so effective?"
20747Are there modern instances of safe and successful organizations?
20747As has been well said,"Shall the advantages of such a system be monopolized by those who have so little else to offer?
20747But if there is the faith and love to deny self and dare all"for the love of Christ and in His name,"where can such rewards for labor be found?
20747Can they be multiplied without danger of introducing into Protestant communions the evils of the conventual life?
20747Do not such wrongs cry to heaven?
20747He paid no heed to these obstacles, and why should we waste time in detailing them?
20747He says:"Now, wilt thou say, Is that true that we are all priests, and should preach?
20747How far, and in what form, ought woman''s work in the Church to be organized?
20747How has this change been brought about?
20747How is it to be received?
20747How many to read and write?
20747How many to read, write, and cipher?
20747In what relation should such organizations stand to the authority and fostering care of the Church?
20747Is not our Lord''s reproachful word addressed to us,''I was sick and in prison and ye visited me not?''
20747Like a lightning''s flash came the thought, What if you were appointed to found a similar institution for our Protestant Church?
20747On reading them over you say, Can much be accomplished when the hours are subdivided into so many portions, and given over to so many objects?
20747Over eighteen hundred years ago, when John the Baptist was in danger of mistaking our Lord, he sent to him, saying:"Art thou he that should come?
20747Physicians complained bitterly of the drunkenness and immorality of the attendants, and what shall I say of the spiritual care?
20747Shall there be no difference in persons?
20747Should she be consecrated by the imposition of the bishop''s hands?
20747The practical question may occur to some one who reads these pages,"What shall I do to become a deaconess?"
20747Then, having answered the question,"Are you determined to fulfill these duties truly in the fear of the Lord, and according to his holy will?"
20747This is an inestimable benefit; what could this poor servant do, whose strength is not yet sufficient to undertake fatiguing labor?
20747Unless she were"set apart"by some uniform immediately and widely recognized how could she have the protection that is accorded her?
20747We are assured of the one; will the other be forthcoming?
20747What good have they achieved, and what further good do they promise?
20747What light on this subject do the primitive and the mediæval Churches yield us?
20747What perils are real and possibly imminent?
20747What progress has been made since the last report?"
20747What regulations are fundamental and indispensable?
20747What relation should she have to the Church?
20747What should be their scope, spirit, methods?
20747What was the deaconess of St. Paul''s epistles?
20747What was to be the relation of the deaconess homes, that were arising, to the Conference board appointed by the Annual Conference?
20747What was to be their distinctive garb?
20747What welcome will be given it?
20747What would not our doctors give for a few dozen of such hard- working, zealous, intelligent ministers in the field of sanitary reform?"
20747Where will that lead us?
20747Who was the founder of this wonderful mission?"
20747Whose fault is it that they remain closed?"
20747Will the individual members of the Church give this cause their hearty support?
20747Will you pray for the Home?
20747[ 3] Statistics from_ North American Review_, February, 1889,"Why am I a Missionary?"
20747assured, with the hope of a dividend, would you refuse the investment?"
20747or look we for another?"
20747shall women also be priests?
12042And why?
12042Do come as far from the house as you can, wo n''t you?
12042Mama,he began,"do you remember the time you told me a secret?"
12042O Bessie,cried the mother,"what has happened to detain you?
12042O Mama,said Bessie,"are n''t you going with the rest?"
12042O my child,he sobbed,"will you forgive me and come back as soon as the Lord will let you?
12042Shall we live with Aunt Emma again?
12042What can be keeping Bessie tonight?
12042What time was that?
12042Again, I hear a parent whose loved companion has recently died say,"What can I do now to train my children aright?"
12042And do you remember that you said some time you would tell me more?"
12042As she passed him, he whispered,"Bessie, what is the matter with your face?"
12042Beaching out very timidly, Bessie touched her and said,"O Miss Harrington, wo n''t you please forgive me?"
12042But how about the excursion party?
12042But, in the meantime, how were her parents feeling?
12042Can it not have the same confidence when it is older?
12042Can you not point to a time when there was a drifting from your home circle?
12042Dear child, where have you been?"
12042Did you at that time lift up your home banner and shield?
12042Did you tell him of the rapids in the distance?
12042Do n''t you think that is dreadful?"
12042Do you think Jesus would go to a circus?
12042Do you think it would be proper to try to change it?
12042Do you think you could get any good should you go?
12042Do you wonder why something snug around your waist could be harmful?
12042Does n''t she ever get lonesome?
12042Have you talked thus to your boy?
12042Have you told the boy all that?
12042How could her teacher ever love and respect her again?
12042I was determined to do this-- but how was I to do it?
12042If it is God''s will to take him, can I submit?"
12042If not, why not?
12042If so, do you not think that a little less labor with your hands and a little time spent with them would be more profitable?
12042If you need anything, write to me at once and let me know about it, wo n''t you?"
12042In her distress she cried to the Lord, saying,"Dear Lord, what can this mean?
12042Is it not worth some self- denial, some sacrifices, on pour part, to have your home spoken of in this manner?
12042Is that so?
12042It may take a little of your time, but what of that?
12042Mr. Worthington must be told, and-- would he be willing?
12042Must I go through another test with one of my children?
12042My dear friend, can you not remember when this state of things began?
12042On receiving the package, Bessie looked at the corset and said,"Mama, shall I wear it?"
12042She began to ask herself:"Do I believe that God can heal that child?
12042She did not move; and when the teacher said sternly,"Are you going to obey?"
12042She would ask her pardon as soon as possible, but would she forgive her?
12042Should one of your children ask,"Mama, who was Bessie Worthington?"
12042Something must be done; but what?
12042The large blue eyes slowly unclose; a look of disappointment comes into them as she says,"Where has Jesus gone?"
12042The next thought was,"What will Mama think and say?
12042The thought came,''What will people think of me?
12042Then she told about the surprise party and about all that had happened, and concluded by asking,"Mama, is it right to dance?"
12042To whom could I go for help?
12042Upon entering her home she immediately asked her husband,"How is Louise?"
12042What a beautiful testimony?
12042What child does not enjoy the old- fashioned game of hide- and- seek, tag, or some such innocent amusement with Papa and Mama?
12042What did it mean?
12042What if a bear should some that morning?
12042What is conscience?
12042What is it, dear?"
12042What should she do?
12042What work is more noble, more elevating than the teaching of the undeveloped mind?
12042When Bessie got home the next morning, her mother asked,"Well, dear, did you have a good time?"
12042When she answered,"Yes,"he said quickly,"Do n''t you think I''m old enough now?"
12042While 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?"
12042Why was this?
12042Why, Bessie, where is your faith?
12042Why, child, what is the matter with you?"
12042Would God forgive her again?
12042Would it not be best to leave his mind free from these ideas until he is older?"
12042Would she do right to let her child slip from under her parental care?
12042You know I never wanted to leave home before; and if you wo n''t let me return, what shall I do?"
12042You''ve heard your conscience speaking to you, have n''t you, Bessie?"
12042what about her teacher?
12042what could she do?
12042when he began to crave the association of others more than that of his own brothers and sisters?
12042when home life began to seem too narrow for your child?
12042why had she not examined the child closely then?
12042why in homes of promised bliss May not this gem be found?"
12042why is this?
12042would God give her back her child?
13677Good Master, what must I do to inherit Eternal Life?
13677And what does the Life- science teach?
13677And yet what would Science demand of a perfect correspondence that is not met by this, THE KNOWING OF GOD?
13677As yet?
13677Breathing now an atmosphere of ineffable Purity, shall he miss becoming pure?
13677But if it know not God?
13677But what are the possibilities of this spiritual organism?
13677But who is to define the limits of the spiritual?
13677But who will not rather approve the arrangement by which man in his creatural life may have unbroken access to an Infinite Power?
13677Can the embryo FASHION ITSELF?
13677Can the protoplasm CONFORM ITSELF to its type?
13677Can we shut our eyes to the fact that the religious opinions of mankind are in a state of flux?

13677Christ held up this method almost to ridicule when He said:"Which of you by taking thought can add a cubit to his stature?"

13677Is life not full of opportunities for learning love?
13677Is man in correspondence with the whole environment or is he not?
13677Is organization the cause of life or the effect of it?
13677Is the change from the earthly to the heavenly more mysterious than the change from the aquatic to the terrestrial mode of life?
13677Is the infinite task begun?
13677Is the unfinished self to remain unfinished?
13677October 10th What is the essential difference between the Christian and the not- a- Christian, between the spiritual beauty and the moral beauty?
13677On what does the Christian argument for Immortality really rest?
13677Or is there a deeper distinction between the Christian and the not- a- Christian as fundamental as that between the organic and the inorganic?
13677Reaching out his eager and quickened faculties to the spiritual world around him, shall he not become spiritual?
13677Shall death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, arrest or tamper with his eternal correspondences?
13677Shall these"changes in the physical state of the environment"which threaten death to the natural man, destroy the spiritual?
13677Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?"
13677Suppose we deliberately made up our minds as to what things we were henceforth to allow to become our life?
13677Surely there is nothing more touching in Nature than this?
13677Then the Christian experiences are our own making?
13677There is nothing that requires so much to be kept in its place as religion, and its place is what?

13677When, how, are we to be different?
13677Where is the capacity for heaven to come from if it be not developed on earth?
13677Where, indeed, is even the smallest appreciation of God and heaven to come from when so little of spirituality has ever been known or manifested here?
13677Where, then, shall it be classed?
13677Who does not miss at every turn of his life an absent God?
13677Who does not miss, at every turn of his life, an absent God?

30409Better than our Saviour and his Apostles preach''d, and the Spirit of God hath recorded?
30409Can we compose better Sermons than_ Moses_ or_ Solomon_?
30409Can we pretend to make better Prayers{ 269} than the Spirit of God has made and scatter''d up and down thro''all the Old and New Testament?
30409Have we nothing more of the Nature of God revealed to us than_ David_ had?
30409How peculiarly do these Commands refer to the_ Israelites_?
30409Is not our Heart often warm''d with holy Delight in the Contemplation of the Son of God our dear Redeemer whose Love was stronger than Death?
30409Is not the Mystery of the ever- blessed Trinity brought out of Darkness into open Light?
30409Nov why should we make Conscience of praying in the Name of_ Christ_ always, and offer up our Praises in his Name when we speak in Prose?
30409Where can you find a Psalm that speaks the Miracles of Wisdom and Power as they are discover''d in a crucify''d_ Christ_?

15082O Paradise, O Paradise Who does not sigh for rest?
15082The Scholar said to his Master: How may I come to the supersensual life, that I may see God and hear Him speak? 15082 The Scholar said: How can I hear when I stand still from thinking and willing?
15082The Scholar said: Is that near at hand or far off? 15082 What fruits dost thou bring back from this thy vision?"
15082Where,says Jacob Boehme,"will you seek for God?
15082[ 28] Is it possible to state more plainly the indivisible identity of the Spirit of Life? 15082 [ 39] How many people do each of us know who work and will in quiet love, and thus participate in eternal life?
15082[ 41] And what is worship but a reach- out of the finite spirit towards Infinite Life? 15082 [ 91] What happens in it?
15082Again, we have to remember that the instinctive self, powerful though it be?
15082And if in a group or church, what should the character of this society be?
15082And last, if we ask as a summing up of the whole matter:_ Why_ man is thus to seek the Eternal, through, behind and within the ever- fleeting?
15082And the next question-- a highly practical question-- is,"How_ both_?"
15082And what is perfection of joy but grace complete?
15082But the crucial question which religion asks must be, does fresh life flow in from those visions and contacts, that intercourse?
15082Can we honestly say that young people reared in them are likely to acquire this temper of heaven?
15082Do the masters, or the workers, work and will in quiet love?
15082Do we always manage or even try to give it that enduring object, in a form it can accept?
15082Do we take enough notice of it?
15082Does it send them out equipped with the means of living a full and efficient spiritual life?
15082Does it train them to regard humanity, and their own place in the human life- stream, from this point of view?
15082First, does the average good education train our young people in spiritual self- preservation?
15082How is he to be dealt with, and the opportunities which he presents used best?
15082How is the traditional deposit of spiritual experience handed on, the individual drawn into the stream of spiritual history and held there?
15082How is this done?
15082How many politicians-- the people to whom we have confided the control of our national existence-- work and will in quiet love?
15082If anyone who has followed these arguments, and now desires to bring them from idea into practice, asks:"What next?"
15082If, then, it does achieve the social phase what stages may we expect it to pass through, and by what special characters will it be graced?
15082Is nothing left out?
15082Is such a view complete?
15082Is transcendental feeling involved in them?
15082Last, to what extent do we try to introduce our pupils into a full enjoyment of their spiritual inheritance, the culture and tradition of the past?
15082Or after considering the inner nature of international diplomacy and finance?
15082Or after reading the unvarnished record of our dealings with the problem of Indian immigration into Africa?
15082Ought we not to introduce our pupils to them; not as stuffed specimens, but as vivid human beings?
15082Secondly, does it give them a spiritual outlook in respect of their racial duties, fit them in due time to be parents of other souls?
15082Secondly,_ Process._ What is the line of development by which the individual comes to acquire and exhibit these characters?
15082This question, often put in the crucial form,"Did Jesus Christ intend to form a Church?"
15082V.][ Footnote 98: Que frutti reducene de esta tua visione?
15082What about industry?
15082What about our English saints?
15082What about the hurried, ugly and devitalizing existence of our big towns?
15082What about the master and the worker in such a possibly regenerated social order?
15082What are we to regard as the heart of spirituality?
15082What is it, then, from which he must be saved?
15082What is that supernal symphony of which this elusive music, with its three complementary strains, forms part?
15082What next?
15082What thing is grace but beginning of joy?
15082What was this impulse and urge?
15082What, then, are we doing about this?
15082When the young man with great possessions asked Jesus,"What shall I do to be saved?"
15082Where then would be our most heart- searching social problems?
15082Wherein do its differentia consist?
15082Would not this, at last, actualize the Pauline dream, of each single citizen as a member of the Body of Christ?
15082Yet is there in this state of things nothing but food for congratulation?
15082[ 56] What, then, is the character of the life which St. Benedict proposed as a remedy for the human failure and disharmony that he saw around him?
15082that is to say with diligence and faithful purpose, without selfish anxiety, without selfish demands and hostilities?
31490A State religion does any one dread?
31490All men?
31490And 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?
31490And shall we, their sons, forget the God whom our fathers acknowledged?
31490But who can for a moment seriously believe that such a purpose is entertained by one who loves, or by one who understands, American institutions?
31490Is not religion the supreme law; so acknowledged by the people of this land, at least by the thoughtful and sober part of the people?
31490Is not this wrong, is it not deplorable?
31490It is liberty to do right-- nothing more than this; what more could an honest man desire?
31490Let the conduct of statesmen in all ages be brought to this standard, and how will it bear the test?
31490May the law of brotherly love be virtually abrogated by the institutions or the habits of society?
31490Now why shall the politician be released from the demand made upon every one else?
31490Ought it not to exist in a Christian nation?
31490To what should a nation make all its laws and institutions and the whole action of its government subservient?
31490Was there not sad truth as well as keen satire in this remark of one whose experience must add weight to his opinion?
31490What is freedom?
31490What is this but another way of expressing the doctrine on the enormity of which we have just remarked?
31490What, of every class and condition?
31490Where did our fathers learn that men were"born free and equal"?
31490Why can not we have a press that shall exhibit this character?
31490Why not?
31490Why should such a claim on behalf of religion be accounted extravagant, or meet with any other than a unanimous assent?
31490a man put himself into chains, that he may plead captivity as an excuse for sin?
26033If God be for us, who can be against us?
26033Now what is the result? 26033 Say not my soul,''Can God relieve my care?''
26033Yes; 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?"
26033At the close of the meeting I said,"Can I help you?"
26033But how could I live Christ?
26033But, Lord, to- morrow?
26033Can we doubt that their prayers had something to do with the marvelous revival movement which followed?
26033Could I have borne it had I known then that almost forty years would pass before that yearning would be satisfied?
26033Could I, in a word, ever hope to be able to live Christ as well as preach him?
26033Do I not live for thee?
26033Does this case of unanswered prayer shake my faith in God''s willingness and power to answer prayer?
26033Fan''s, the message of James 5:14, 15, kept coming persistently to me, as if spoken by a voice:"Is any sick among you?
26033Here again Paul seemed to feel no fear, but said,"Mother, what does this put you in mind of?
26033How could they be, when no record of prayer has been kept all these fifty years?
26033How 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?
26033I handed the letter to my daughter, saying:"Shall we not believe that God will undertake for us?
26033I looked at her in amazement, and almost gasped:"Are you the one who spoke to Mr. Goforth Saturday night?"
26033I thought,"Can this be the Christian courage I have looked for?"
26033Is it much wonder I can say I know God answers prayer?
26033Is it not true, in our human relationships with our children, that we see best to grant at one time what we withhold at another?
26033Is not Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to- day, and forever?
26033Not 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?"
26033Oh, is not the goodness and forbearance of our God wonderful; wonderful that he ever again would deign to give help when asked for it?
26033One 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?
26033Or 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?
26033Shall there be rest from toil, Be truce from sorrow?
26033So what could I do?
26033Some have asked,"But have you never sinned?"
26033The question that weighed heavily was,"Should I cancel the meetings for which I had given my word?"
26033The question was, where could we flee?
26033The 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?
26033They would just wake up enough to get dressed and ask sleepily,"Are we going again, Mama?"
26033Was God faithful to the vision he had given me?
26033Was it possible that I could ever really stop worrying?
26033Was it possible, with such a nature as mine, ever to become patient and gentle?
26033Was it possible?
26033We believed that it was his pleasure and purpose to save men and women through his human channels, and why not from the beginning?
26033What kept them back that day?
26033What more helpful and inspiring than a ringing testimony of_ what God has done_?
26033What of to- morrow, Lord?
26033Why did they not kill us then?
26033Why indeed?
26033Why 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?
26033Why should we wonder, therefore, at his healing touch in this age?
26033Why, indeed?
26033Why, 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?
26033is there_ anything_ too hard for ME?"
29666Are the glad tidings,he asked,"which through seventeen hundred years passed from confessing lips to listening ears still not preached?"
29666You 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_?
29666Was it possible that these people could be descendants of the giants whose valor and aggressive spirit had once challenged the greater part of Europe?
29666What could he do?
29666What vessel is that passing Across the boundless deep, On which the billows massing In foaming fury sweep?
29666Why came He not in splendor Arrayed in robes of light And called the world to render Its homage to His might?
29666Why should not castles royal Before Him open stand, And kings, as servants loyal, Obey His least command?
29666Ye 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?
29666and Is Christianity True?
29666how can it be That but so few will think of Thee And of that tender, wondrous love Which drew Thee to us from above?
29666the professor exclaims,"should eternal Wisdom have willed revelation to appear in a form so imperfect?
29480A happy friendship changed, Now that the years are old?
29480And all my sin in mercy bear Upon the awful tree?
29480And in aggressive Christian work at home and abroad?
29480And what are the signs of death in the Eastern Church?
29480As spring that wakes the sleeping earth?
29480As zephyrs on the tuneless night, To stir my soul to holy mirth?
29480But, it is asked, what evidences are there that the Greek Church is a living Church?
29480Can he hold the Lord of life?
29480Didst Thou not die for me?
29480Hast thou no needs, for which alone The cross can find supplies?
29480I Lord of mercy, at Thy gate, Needy souls imploring pray; Have we come, Good Lord, too late?
29480II Ah, why from heavenly blessing Didst Thou to earth descend, And share the woes distressing, To be the sinner''s Friend?
29480II Heralds from the heaven- land, Tell His Advent clear;-- Where the sound of hurrying feet?
29480II Were there no eyes to gaze upon the sight?
29480II With thought of sin opprest, Does conscience smite thee sore?
29480III 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?
29480III Didst Thou not come to earth?
29480III Is there no balm to heal?
29480III My soul, can''st thou not tell?
29480III Think you of former bliss, Of happier, sunnier hours, When fragrant joys you miss, Bestrewed your path like flowers?
29480III Where now its sting, since death itself is dead?
29480III Wilt Thou not come as morning light?
29480IV Glistening in the morning grey, Whence those garments fairer far Than the light that hails the day In the glorious morning star?
29480IV Mourn you a heart estranged, Once kind, but now grown cold?
29480IV"How can I hold that sacred Head of Thine, O Word of God, Immortal, and Divine?"
29480Must we turn in grief away?
29480No hearts to sing, when sundered was the prison?
29480O Jesus, Lord divine, Why was such anguish Thine?
29480O Jesus, Lord divine, Why was such anguish Thine?
29480The horror felt by earth and sky?
29480The victory of the powers of night, That doomed the God- man there to die?
29480V Is there an empty room Where silence broods alone, All curtained round with gloom, Where once the sunlight shone?
29480VI Where can death bestow his prey?
29480What is she doing in the field of literature, theological in particular?
29480Whence that woe?
29480Where now the power that held the captive bound?
29480Where the crowds come forth to greet?
29480Where the loyal cheer?
29480Why such a sacrifice?
29480whence that suffering?
29480whither shall I flee, my God?
15485Did I not say unto you, Go not?
15485How long,said she,"will it probably continue?"
15485If 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?"
15485Know 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?
15485A YEAR UNCALENDARED; for what Hast thou to do with mortal time?
15485And 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?
15485And what will she have treasured up to tell me?
15485Angels, returned from other happy worlds, have you heard of him?
15485Another of the flock replies,"Have we not an able, faithful, experienced shepherd?
15485But how could mortal strength endure the effort?
15485But who is God?
15485But, Where is he?
15485Can 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"?
15485Can 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"?
15485Did the chariots of fire, and the horses of fire, convey him to a dreamless sleep of thousands of years?
15485Did you see him on yonder hills?
15485Does he build his faith upon it, as upon a corner stone?
15485Dost 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?
15485God 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?
15485Have tears never come unbidden, do we never feel sad, at such a time?
15485Have we not seen his ability to defend us in past dangers?
15485He might also remonstrate and say,"Am I not, as their shepherd, interested in protecting and removing them?
15485He who has had a child saved by Christ, and will not be himself a Christian,--what more can God do to save him?
15485I said,"Would you exchange conditions with her?"
15485If"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?
15485In what respects better or different?
15485Is he not as much concerned for our defence and safety as ourselves?
15485Is he the Christian''s enemy?
15485Is he thinking how he will one day hear the command,"Take ye away the stone"which covers all who sleep in Jesus?
15485Is not that"trumpet"sometimes taken into thy hand?
15485Is not the whole of life, past, present, and to come, then tinged with sombre hues?
15485Is that a death- bed where the Christian lies?
15485Is there any thing in the resurrection more strange than this?
15485Is this the God who loved him?
15485Is this the Saviour that died for him?
15485It is said of angels,"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"
15485Made perfect at thy passing, who Can sum thy added glory now?
15485Now what bids my heart rejoice, Clasped in arms I can not see?
15485Shall I lose the remnant of my life on earth?"
15485Shall we ask exemption from that which, all the good and great have suffered?
15485She 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?
15485The great question then will be, How did we fulfil God''s special and benevolent designs in our trials?
15485The question which earth asks respecting one and another,"Where is he?"
15485Then what will she herself be, when these eyes behold her again?
15485They themselves had said to him,"Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to- day?"
15485We must know this, and practise upon it, ourselves; else, how can we expect the children to believe it?
15485We 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?"
15485What are we glad to say of their preparation for an eternal state?
15485What if we knew that some day, not far distant, flaming chariots and horses, over our dwelling, would wait to bring us home to God?
15485What language would they use more graphic, or more intelligible to us, than the language of the Bible?
15485What must the body of Isaiah, and of David, be, at the resurrection, to correspond with the vast powers and attainments of those glorified spirits?
15485What though my body run to dust?
15485What would make us satisfied and happy to know respecting them?
15485What would we have had that preparation be?
15485What, then, are we searching for among the dark, gloomy valleys of sorrow, or on the hills of earthly vision?
15485When can we need their ministry more, than in the passage from this world to the world of spirits?
15485When they came again to Elisha,"he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?"
15485Where do we love to assign them their places?
15485Where is he?
15485Whither now wilt thou proceed?
15485Whither was he translated?
15485Will he sit like a king on his throne, and see his subject come trembling into his presence?
15485Will ye search but three days?
15485and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?"
15485and must not he return and abide, like them?
15485hast thou the archangel himself for thy keeper?
15485how canst thou?
15485is no doubt repeated in heaven: Have you met him in any of these streets?
26744And how do you propose to go there?
26744And may I ask whence you come and whither you are going?
26744And your honourable second name?
26744Are you going in that direction?
26744Are you going to Hai- ning?
26744Are you going to Kia- hing Fu?
26744Do n''t you see the wind is coming? 26744 How much may that be?"
26744How much money will you give us?
26744What is it?
26744What may be your honourable profession?
26744Why,I asked in surprise,"has Amelia broken her promise?
26744Will you give me a passage as far as you do go that way?
26744You are a physician, are you?
26744And 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?
26744At last a man responded,"Are you a guest from Shih- mun- wan?"
26744But had not GOD said that whatever we ask in the Name of the LORD JESUS shall be done?
26744But scarcely had I opened my lips with"Our FATHER who art in heaven"than conscience said within,"Dare you mock GOD?
26744Could that which was wrong for one Christian to do be right for an association of Christians?
26744Dare you kneel down and call Him FATHER with that half- crown in your pocket?"
26744He answered,"What would be the good of that?"
26744How do you write it?"
26744How long shall this continue, and the MASTER''S words,"To every creature,"remain unheeded?
26744I 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?"
26744Is it so hard- hearted, so wicked a thing to neglect to save the body?
26744Is there any spirit of prayer on our behalf among GOD''s people in Kilsyth?
26744Need I say that peace at once flowed into my burdened heart?
26744Now arose in my mind the question, Ought not this sum also to be tithed?
26744Of how much sorer punishment, then, is he worthy who leaves the soul to perish, and Cain- like says,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
26744Oh, why did you not come sooner?"
26744Or could any amount of precedents make a wrong course justifiable?
26744Ought I not, for her sake, to speak about the matter of the salary?
26744Shall we say to_ Him_,"No, it is not convenient"?
26744The next question was,"How am I to go?"
26744The thought passed through my mind,"Why does the author use this expression?
26744The 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?
26744Then came the thought,"If the whole work was finished and the whole debt paid, what is there left for me to do?"
26744There was no doubt that if faith did not fail, GOD would not fail; but, then, what if one''s faith should prove insufficient?
26744What circumstances could have rendered the Word of GOD more sweet, the presence of GOD more real, the help of GOD more precious?
26744What was I to do?
26744What was finished?
26744While thus engaged I said to the landlord,"I suppose I can arrange to spend the night here?"
26744Why live I here?
26744Yet, what was I to do?
26744and He that keepeth_ thy_ soul, doth not he know it?
26744and shall not He render to every man according to his works?"
26744might repeat the same question to- day?
26744or is there any effort to seek this spirit?
26744or 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?"
26744shall we tell_ Him_ that we are busy fishing and can not go?
26744that we have bought a piece of ground and can not go?
26744that we have purchased five yoke of oxen, or have married, or are engaged in other and more interesting pursuits, and can not go?
26744why not say the atoning or propitiatory work of CHRIST?"
15822Do I sympathize with him over a ruined world?
15822And can any reason be assigned why the same practice should not be equally productive in carrying out the noblest work of our being?
15822And how is it with the favors of his hand?
15822And is it strange that he who nurtures a principle thus pernicious in its tendencies, should be excluded from heaven?
15822And may not the present be such a crisis?
15822But how shall these frequent contributions be made by those whose capital yields returns only at long intervals?
15822But 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?
15822But is this a valid excuse?
15822But ought not his past goodness to strengthen our confidence in his willingness to continue that goodness?
15822But what did you mean by those all- surrendering vows?
15822But what is its peculiar lesson to us?
15822But why regard thoughts of that which we can not avoid, unpleasant?
15822Can you touch it heedlessly?
15822Christ requires us to live by faith on him, and ought we not to_ give_ by faith on him?
15822Could they not be met by sacrificing some social pleasure, some luxury in drink, in food, in dress, in furniture, in display?
15822Dare any one offer this as an excuse?
15822Dare you compare your spirit and conduct with his?
15822Did Christ once weep over covenant- breaking Jerusalem?
15822Did Christ shrink from contemplating the loathsomeness and woe of our outcast race?
15822Did you think to deceive the heart- searching Jesus?
15822Do you hence smother these kindling emotions and fold your hands in despair?
15822Do you not owe to him alike your being and possessions?
15822Do you say,"My money is my own; I may use it as I please?"
15822Does any one shrink from this criterion of his piety?
15822Five pounds?
15822Have not the crucibles of your selfish hearts melted and moulded them into household gods?
15822Here 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?
15822How frequently should stated contributions be made?
15822How frequently should stated contributions be made?
15822How much do you think he gave to the missionary society?
15822I ask every candid reader, is not the present a_ special occasion_ for benevolence?
15822Is not this robbing God?
15822It is unreasonable that you spend your worldly goods for him, who shed his blood for you?
15822Jeremiah says,"Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
15822Let it be the early, the earnest, the daily inquiry,"What can I do for my race?"
15822Let the question come home to your conscience;_ what do you mean_?
15822Must not such conduct be exceedingly provoking to Unwearied Love?
15822Now have you acted up to this surrender of your all to Christ, especially in relation to the duty of beneficence?
15822Now shall we abuse this confidence, despise our privileges, and show ourselves unworthy of our almost angelic exaltation?
15822Now what does the providence of God indicate as the special ministry of the church in the present age?
15822Now, would it be equal to require of both respectively a hundred in charity?
15822Oh think, are these the kind returns you owe for pardoning love?
15822One pound?
15822Reader, with this humble reliance on Divine aid, will you now make the following resolutions your own?
15822Reader, would you please your compassionate Savior?
15822True, this will require self- denial; but has not God demanded of us self- denial?
15822Was it the duty of the wealthy Irish to feed their starving neighbors?
15822Was this an unmeaning ceremony?
15822Were you thus unfeeling?
15822What do you mean, often as you renew them at the sacramental board?
15822What is the proportional amount of property or income to be given in charitable contributions?
15822What treatment is this of the compassionate Giver of your abundance?
15822When these shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father, where, O, where will you be found?
15822Who dare say, I can not, or will not, exercise it?
15822Who did not feel that every Irish landholder should have shared his abundance with the suffering and dying poor around him?
15822Who will dare thus offend his gracious Sovereign, and incur his wrath?
15822Who will refuse thus systematically to reflect, to feel, to resolve, to give?
15822Why is it?
15822Why should not lovers of Christ be equally wise to fill the world with light, and heaven with anthems?
15822Will the rich, they who have enough and abound, reject this rational scheme of principles, feelings, actions?
15822Will you trifle with Jehovah''s voice, and incur his righteous wrath?
15822Will you, professed follower of the self- denying Jesus?
15822With the last tribunal and the sorrows of Calvary in view, will you give these a moment''s prayerful reflection?
15822You 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_?
15822and what are his claims upon you, as growing out of it?
15822or by foregoing some convenience, the expense of which is equivalent to the pledged sum?
15822so live that your selfish heirs shall rejoice at your death, and the judgment- day clothe you with eternal shame?
36332But where shall we find words to express the depth of our affliction?
36332Where shall we find language to depict the character of the dear departed-- or to administer comfort and support to the beloved survivors?
13196I do n''t know, who?
13196Light 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?
13196Again came the same quietly spoken words to her ear,"will you abide the consequences?"
13196Am I thinking about what He is thinking about for me?
13196And I said,"Why not?"
13196And even Daniel''s eyes open big--"the_ first_ day-- three weeks ago?"
13196And if some one listening may ask: Why put the condition of prayer so strongly as that?
13196And the Father would quickly bend over and graciously say,"What''ll you have?
13196And who_ can_ teach like Him?
13196Are we not all conscious of a sinful something inside here that has to be fought, and held under all the while?"
13196As she was praying and distressed a voice, an exquisitely quiet inner voice said,"will you abide the consequences?"
13196But His chosen way?
13196But have you noticed how, over and over again He_ couples_ these two-- prayer_ and_ forgiveness?
13196But one Sunday noon the sister came in from service and asked,"Who do you think preached to- day?"
13196By name?
13196Can a man_ make_ himself believe?"
13196Can one_ know_ anything certainly about that man''s condition?
13196Can we all have faith like that?
13196Can you imagine a mountain moving off into the sea-- the Jungfrau, or Blanc, or Rainier?
13196Could I telegraph on that wire?
13196Did some feeling of impatience break out among the disciples that they could not be allowed a little leisure?
13196Do you think_ you_ would have slept much?
13196Does Prayer Influence God?
13196Does Prayer Influence God?
13196Does Prayer Influence God?
13196Does a mother think into her child''s needs, the food, and clothing and the extras too, the luxuries?
13196Does a wise mother think of her child''s needs into the details, the necessities and the loving extras?
13196Does n''t it say something of that sort in the Book?"
13196Does the fluid-- it a fluid?
13196For_ Jesus''_ sake?
13196Had he been wrong all those years?
13196Have you ever thought that Jesus had a keen sense of the ludicrous?
13196He says,"Master, how many times_ must_ I forgive a man?
13196His own way?
13196How 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?
13196How shall we best fight?
13196I turned to the minister and said,''What does this mean?''
13196Is it any wonder that"she was in bitterness of soul"and"wept sore"?
13196Is not that a loving God so to listen and yield to my plea?
13196It does not mean to ask,"Is this right?
13196Let me ask you very softly now: Can He trust you?
13196Let me ask you, honestly now; do you think you would have slept much that night?
13196Long- suffering over these praying ones?
13196Long- suffering?
13196May We Pray with Assurance for the Conversion of Our Loved Ones?
13196Mr. Moody said,"I turned and said to the minister,''What_ does_ this mean?''
13196Now what was the explanation of that marvellous Sunday and days following?
13196Patience?
13196Shall I say, Father_ save_ Me from this hour?
13196Shall 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?
13196Shall we bow and ask forgiveness for our sin, and petty stubbornness that has been thwarting the Master''s love- plan?
13196Shall we follow for a day one who has gotten the true perspective?
13196Shall we not put out the thing that is wrong?
13196Shall 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?
13196Sundays, after church service, the sick woman would ask,"Any special interest in church to- day?"
13196Talks about the certainty of prayer being answered are very apt to bring this question:"What about Paul''s thorn?"
13196Tell me, is not that a very much more loving God than the other conception suggests?
13196The great question for me then in praying for some personal thing is this: Do_ I_ know what_ He_ knows I need?
13196Then on a side remaining, the tender personal side, He is-- loving?
13196Then the minister said to Mr. Moody,"What''ll I do with these people?
13196Then this forgiven man went out and found a fellow servant who owed him-- how much do you think?
13196To please Him?
13196Was it due to his overtired nerves?
13196Was some of the transfiguring glory still lingering in that great face?
13196Wednesday nights, after prayer- meetings,"Any special interest in the service to- night?
13196Well, if_ you_ do not pray for them who will?
13196What is the keyword of the book, occurring oftener than any other?
13196What is yours?
13196What''s the difficulty?
13196What_ can_ be so vigilant and keen as love?
13196What_ was_ the consequence to her?
13196Where''s the Master?
13196Who is the real foe?
13196Why not?
13196Why was it?
13196Will some one kindly explain?
13196Will some one kindly explain?
13196Will you notice how men give?
13196With eyes big, and voices dejected, the question wrung itself out of their sinking hearts,"Why could not_ we_ cast it out?"
13196Would that not seem quite sufficient?
13196Yet I might sit in my room and tick away by the hour wholly absorbed, and use most beautiful persuasive language-- what is the good?
13196You 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?
13196is this wrong?"
13196or put in the thing the Master wants in?
13196or, what?--pass_ through_ the wire?
13196or,_ around_ the wire?
13196there''s just the rub; it is evidently an old story, this thing of not receiving-- why?
20565th 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?"
2056Did you expect to see this eighteen years ago?
2056Is William mad?
2056Now, 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?"
2056After all, why do we differ?
2056And what are the circumstances of these youth?
2056And what if he must cease altogether to work with his hands, and give himself wholly to the work of the mission as seemed necessary?
2056As to Brother Marshman, seriously, what do they want?
2056Before Carey, what had been done to turn the millions of North India from such darkness as that?
2056Ca 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?
2056Can any good come out of Kettering?
2056Can 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?
2056Carey?"
2056Could the Church of England supply missionaries?--where are they to be found among them?
2056Did ever any university in Europe, or any literary institution in any other age or country, exhibit a scene so interesting as this?
2056Do we wonder that these men have left their mark on India?
2056Do you in America train up youths for it without any knowledge of science?"
2056Had he not, all his career, therefore expected and attempted great things?
2056Had not Carey''s been a royal career, even that of a king and a priest unto God?
2056He took up one of the shoes and said,"Let me see, Carey, how much do you earn a week?"
2056His Enquiry had been published; had it prepared the brethren?
2056How was this shed his college?
2056I answered, what are His commands?
2056I asked them if this was the woman''s choice, or if she were brought to it by any improper influence?
2056I 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?
2056I well recollect my father saying to him,''I suppose you still work at your trade?''
2056In what school for the promulgation of sound and orthodox learning are they trained up?
2056Marshman wishes to know whether you now see him?''
2056My mother replied,''What, do you think he will be a preacher?''
2056Now what can be more available thereto than to deliver God''s book unto God''s people in a tongue which they understand?''"
2056Observing Komal weep( who had been a most affectionate wife), he said, Why do you weep for me?
2056On their saying, How is it that you who have turned to Christ should be thus afflicted?
2056One Brahman was quite confounded, and a number of people were all at once crying out to him,''Why do you not answer him?
2056Or would they have his blood?
2056Pray can youth be trained up for the Christian ministry without science?
2056Should not this be a specific matter of prayer, and is there not reason to labour hard to infuse this spirit into the churches?
2056Such compassion, where shall we get?
2056Such was the moral heroism, such the spiritual aim of the Serampore brotherhood; how did it set to work?
2056The chain of the caste is broken; who shall mend it?"
2056The new men raised the first question, in what sense the Serampore property belonged to the Society?
2056The principal Question was--''In what manner shall we receive him?
2056Thus the door of faith is open to the gentiles; who shall shut it?
2056Was the answer to come just there after nine years''waiting?
2056We 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?''
2056What can be apprehended but the disgrace and discomfiture of whole hosts of tub preachers in the conflict?"
2056When 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?
2056When in London Carey had asked John Newton,"What if the Company should send us home on our arrival in Bengal?"
2056When shall Bengal see its own Luther?
2056Who were his predecessors, reckoning from the Renascence of Europe, the discovery of America, and the opening up of India and Africa?
2056Who will venture to explore it?
2056Why do you not answer him?''
2056Would not that make them useful members of society?
2056Would not the spread of the gospel be the most effectual mean of their civilisation?
2056Would they allow future missionaries to settle with him?
2056Would they always renew his own licence?
2056Would they attempt to deny his possessing the grace of God?
2056Would they exclude him from the mission?
2056by a letter from the people of Hackleton, or on a profession of faith, etc.?''
2056what is His will?
32703But how should we begin?
32703But how?
32703Halts the Christ- Kingdom, with conquest so near?
32703Here was the church, and here were the people; but how could they be brought together to their mutual advantage?
32703How can we move out into this Larger Parish and get hold of this greater work?
32703How did I go about my task?
32703How have they worked, and what have they accomplished?
32703How was I to multiply my activities many fold and still be efficient?
32703How would it be when its boundaries were so greatly increased?
32703How would they be received?
32703I wonder if any pastor ever felt entirely satisfied with the results of his work?
32703If they do not do all that ought to be done in their smaller parish, shall they increase its boundaries and assume greater obligations?
32703Is he rendering valuable service?
32703It may look well-- the vision may be enticing-- but will it really do the business?
32703Shall they reach out and extend their parish threefold, and multiply their duties and obligations many times?
32703What do we find to be the result of the three years?
32703What have we to show after working three years that will justify the methods that have been used?
32703What methods have been employed?
32703What was the work?
32703Would it not be overwhelmed by the number and greatness of its obligations and responsibilities?
32703Would it not be swamped by its acquisitions?
32703Would not the Larger Parish idea as set forth in this story furnish a good working plan for such a movement?
32703Would the ushers show them comfortable seats?
32703Would they be welcome in the pews of the good people who have come together to worship God?

27243Would it reach the hands of his good genius on the opposite side, unruffled and unsoiled?
27243***** What can I say of Mr. Lan?
27243Are you?"
27243Do the crops seem to fail for lack of rain, and the farmers, anxious and worried, speak of the famine confronting them, and him?
27243Had he been informed correctly that we had been appointed to carry on the work in Hwochow?
27243How could they be filled?
27243Immediately upon the conclusion of my business he asked:"Is that Miss French of Taiyüanfu?
27243Is some aggressive movement proposed?
27243It is an everyday occurrence, and you ask,"Why do they not widen the road?"
27243Oh say, what dost thou yet deny, My heart of love to satisfy?"

27243What do you know of the Spartan methods of treating children?

27243What is the cause of each, and how may each be remedied?
27243What period of human history is covered by the Book of Genesis?
27243When questioned as to whence it came the demon replied by giving the name of this man, and to the question:"Why have you left him?"
27243When the question is asked:"How came you to believe?"
27243Who could replace her?
27243Who has passed this way before me?
27243Who were the combatants in the following battles:--Crecy, Hastings, Marathon, Bannockburn, Waterloo?

27243define the critical turning- point in his days?"
27243exclaimed the physician;"how is that?"
27243how wouldest Thou deal with this sick man-- in body, or spirit?"
27243said he;"are you not the man to whom I gave medicine last time I came this way?"
34447How many more times shall we have to help you two girls out of a hole?
34447Is there nothing you can give me?
34447Apropos of this a clergyman''s wife told me how she had asked a child,"Do you know_ Our Father_?"
34447Beginning with the usual query"Are you married?"
34447Clerk( helping nervous- looking lady to fill up form):"And the address of the nearest relation to whom the body may be sent if found dead?"
34447One of them pointed to the cross on the altar, and asked,"What''s that?"
34447The problem is-- What can be done to make the un- English settlers British in sentiment?
34447When I thanked him he said:"You''re Scotch, are n''t you?
34447Who were we and where did we come from?
34447and the inevitable"Why not?"
34447is n''t she fat?"
34994Art thou distressed by weight of care?
34994If Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
34994Lord, Thou art my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
34994My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
34994My tired eyes are closing, And while I am reposing, Where doth my soul remain?
34994O Lord God, why do the wicked rage without cause?
34994O Lord, who can understand his errors?
34994O heart of mine, why borrow The troubles of tomorrow?
34994Thou art the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
34994What folk is this now drawing near to me, This throng of worthies blest?
34994What if death should take me And no light awake me From my sleep and rest?
34994What is man''s being?
34994Why dost Thou hide Thy face, and forget our misery and distress?
34994and the mighty set themselves and take counsel against Thee and Thy Son, Thine Anointed?
13889Got any answer?
13889Have you got your ticket back?
13889Now, Dave,he said,"there''s One better than I who will stick to you closer than a brother; will you let Him be your friend?"
13889Tom,I said,"why do n''t you go home?"
13889What will your friends say?
13889A thought flashed through my mind, and I said,"Jim, have you any money?"
13889After I got the things the grocer said,"Where is the book?"
13889After being free for about fifteen minutes, I was again brought before Judge White, who looked at me this time and said,"Ca n''t you keep sober?"
13889After testing me on the other piles he asked me if I could measure, and could I tally?
13889And I have said,"What is the use?
13889And if I could get away how could I get to Cincinnati, Ohio, where my mother lives?"
13889And one night I said,"Tom, would you like to go home?"
13889Are you a Christian?
13889But I was a moral coward, and I said,"No, mother; where did you put it?"
13889But he said,"What''s the use?"
13889But what''s the use of trying?
13889But when drink is the idol-- and it was mine-- what does one care for love?
13889But where was I to go?
13889CHAPTER I BOYHOOD DAYS I have often been asked the question,"Why do n''t you write a book?"
13889Ca n''t you see plainly the conditions?
13889Come, Dan, I''ll be your friend; did n''t we always have a good time together on the Bowery?
13889Could I help him?
13889DEEPER IN THE MIRE Now what was I to tell my mother?
13889Dan, ca n''t we have our pictures taken together?
13889Did I sleep?
13889Do n''t you know you were cut out for a far better one?"
13889Do n''t you men see I''m still trusting?
13889Do n''t you think it pays to be on the level with God?
13889Every night Jim would come around with the question,"Danny, any word from up State yet?"
13889Finally I got tired and said,"Cook, where will I put this coal?"
13889Finally he looked me over from head to feet and said,"Are those the best clothes you have?"
13889Have you written to her?"
13889He said,"Dave, why are you leading such a life?
13889He said,"Hello, Dave, where are you working?"
13889He used to say to me,"David, why do n''t you be good and study your lessons?
13889He will do the same for any one here; why not give Him a chance?"
13889He would ask me,"Do you think I can get back to my wife and children again?"
13889How are you?"
13889How did I find him out?
13889How did it happen?
13889I asked him,"Do you want to go back to New York, Tom?"
13889I asked,"Can you play?"
13889I 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?"
13889I know I''m crooked, and it''s my own fault, I admit, but who''s going to give me a chance?
13889I know what you are going to say: why do n''t I cut it out?
13889I often look back and ask myself the question,"Did I miss my vocation?"
13889I said as I looked,"Is this me or some other fellow?"
13889I stood there listening to the tempter, when the young fellow said,"Dave, what are you going to do now that you have taken Jesus?"
13889I thought it would wake up the whole house, but nobody but mother woke, and she said,"Who''s there?"
13889I thought of mother; what would she say if she knew I had broken my promise to her?
13889I tried in my leisure time for another job, but in all the places I was asked the same question:"Where did you work last?"
13889I used to dread going home at night and meeting my mother, and when she would say,"How have you got on to- day?"
13889I want some one with backbone; will you take it?"
13889I was in a church; why should he do me any harm?
13889I was in bed dreaming of Indians and other things, when mother wakened me, shouting,"Where''s the man''s clothes?"
13889I 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?"
13889I''ll never forget the first question he asked me, which was,"What''s the name of that piece of timber?"
13889Is n''t it wonderful what God can do?
13889Is that enough?"
13889It''s a hard place, but will you come and take charge of it?
13889It''s an everlasting joy, and is n''t it worth working for, boys?
13889LODGING- HOUSE MISSIONARY One day I said,"Dr. Schauffler, do you know I''m a protege of the New York City Mission?"
13889Many times well- dressed men will come into my place and say,"Mr. Ranney, do n''t you know me?"
13889No one saw me but God, but the Devil was there with me, and said,"Is n''t it easy?
13889Now, Dave, wo n''t you promise me you will?"
13889Now, why did n''t you tell me the truth, and I would have overlooked it?
13889Pop, trust in the God that saved you ten years ago, wo n''t you?
13889Ranney?"
13889Ranney?"
13889Ranney?"
13889Said he,"How''s little old New York?"
13889She knew me by sight and asked me how I was getting on, and where was my overcoat?
13889Sizing up the situation, I knew I must have a drink, but how was I to get it?
13889That worried him a good deal, for he said,"Dan, are you mad with me?"
13889The girl was in trouble and needed help, and what were we going to do about it?
13889The lady said,"Mr. Ranney, what is the matter with that girl?
13889The man put his hand on my shoulder and said,"I want to be your friend; will you let me?"
13889The saloon- keeper would n''t do it; what did he care for them?
13889The young fellow said,"Do n''t you think you had better have a bath?"
13889The young fellow said,"Why do n''t you call for something?
13889Then he said,"Father, you do n''t want me to drink, do you?"
13889Then why not stop it while one has a free foot?
13889There was one game I really did enjoy; the name of it was"How many miles?"
13889We 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?
13889We heard the testimonies, and I turned to Ranney and said,''Are you a Christian?''
13889We went into the office, and he said,"How did you find me out?"
13889What can you and I do for them?
13889What could he do?
13889What did He do it for?
13889What did you do it for?
13889What does any one care?
13889What good will it do?"
13889What number shall I play?"
13889What was I going to do?
13889When I passed her way she said,"Mr. Ranney, will you please give me a drink of water?"
13889When I went home the first question was,"Did you see your check?"
13889Where''s the tools?"
13889While I was talking he would make all sorts of remarks, such as,"Oh, what do you know about it?
13889Who are you?"
13889Why did n''t God help you before this?
13889Why do n''t you give Him a chance?
13889Why?
13889Will you come up with me?"
13889Will you let me give it to you?"
13889Will you work?"
13889Would God help such a one?
13889Would I work?
13889what happened to you?"
33676But what return can I make Thee, being of myself insolvent, indigent, and miserable?
33676For whom, then, shall I henceforth live, if not for Thee, my Lord?
33676Have I not compelled Thee often to dwell in my heart, full of sin and impurity as it was?
33676How do I act in suffering and affliction?
33676How must I regard the world and its vanities, when I behold Thee hanging on the cross, covered with wounds?
33676How, then, shall I extol Thee, immortal King of glory?
33676I have frequently resolved to amend, and yet where do I remain but in the midst of sin and vice?
33676Should I, then, not bear in union with Thee my easy burden of suffering and accept the sweet yoke of Thy commandments?
33676Thou hast created me for heaven; what, then, have I to do with the world?
33676What homage can I give in proportion to Thy greatness?
33676What pledge can I give as an earnest of the gratitude I owe to Thee?
33676What return do you make to your Saviour for His great and manifold benefits?
33676What return shall I make for all the benefits Thou didst bestow on me?
33676Who am I, O God, that Thou shouldst work such wonders for my sake?
33676Who will grant me that I may die for love of Thee?
33676Witnessing 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?
36351Had the characteristic infirmity of old age come upon her,--a fondness for recounting earlier or more recent labors and successes?
36351Have you ever known one who walked more nearly in the steps of our Lord and Saviour, one who did less to please self?
36351What now might be expected of one, with such a character and such antecedents, on becoming our city missionary?
36351While interested in providing employment for each scholar during the session, her chief thought seemed to be,"How can I benefit these immortal souls?"
36351Who ever suspected her of vainglory?
36351Who will say that she was not accustomed to give all glory and praise to God?
36899A few minutes later the friend of the mistress said:"I wonder if my daughter''s dresses would fit your servant?
36899But for some reason, which is not now recalled, there was given out for an evening''s meditation the topic,"Shall we pray for money?"
36899Think 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?
17002Are such things right?
17002Are these ecclesiastical bodies respectively Indian, Chinese, and African in their character?
17002Are these the doctrines or policy of the Dutch Church?
17002Are they, then, two- thirds of an integral part in America, and one- third of an integral part in England?
17002Besides this, how shall we know which of them were converted through our instrumentality?
17002But are these things so?
17002But has it been more successful than the Mission at Amoy?
17002But how and where has this test been applied, and found so satisfactory?
17002But how, on this plan, can he possibly obtain them?
17002But the point is, how can our disapproval of_ the mongrel Classis_ mar the peace of the Amoy brethren?"
17002But will the plan of Synod give us any greater security for these things?
17002But will they do it?
17002Can it be that a policy which requires_ such constitutional changes_ can be the old and proper policy of our Church?
17002Can the Board try them?
17002Can they be designed to prejudice the Church at home against the ecclesiastical body which has grown up at Amoy?
17002Can this be secured?
17002Can you account for such things except by the energy of the Spirit of God?
17002Can you not do the same now?
17002Cannot-- ought not-- the Church change her policy if wrong, or if a better can be adopted?
17002Do not different Denominations exhibit jealous rivalry in this land?
17002Do you wish a similar result in China?
17002Does that mean that we had no qualms of conscience about''submitting to the decision that had been reached?''
17002General Synod?
17002Has it been tested in China?
17002Has it been tested in Japan?
17002Hence the question has been put to us with all sincerity and gravity,"Is it a_ Classis_, or is it a_ Presbytery_?"
17002How can they be secured?
17002How should we designate such an act?
17002I ask, is it possible for him thus to obtain justice?
17002I have been asked, Why not bring this subject before the Church through the columns of the_ Christian Intelligencer_?
17002In expecting to obtain this union, will it be said, that we are looking for a chimera?
17002Is Chinese human nature different from American?
17002Is every thing then to be regarded as_ unsettled_ and_ changeable_ but this policy of the Church?
17002Is it because they were baptized by our Missionaries?
17002Is it because they were converted through the instrumentality of the preaching of our Missionaries?
17002Is it necessary to defend such acts?
17002Is it not plain that the Church at home will not thus have a moiety of the control over her Missionaries she now has?
17002Is 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?
17002Is it well that we should be disputing among ourselves concerning who shall have that credit which all belongs to Christ?
17002Is the Classis, in evangelizing the heathen around, to operate through the Board, or the Board through the Classis?
17002Is the Dutch Church a hierarchy?
17002Is the Mission, then, to attend to all the evangelistic work, and the Classis to do nothing?
17002Is the waste of time, of a year or more, nothing?
17002Is this right?
17002Is this the way to keep the Church at Amoy sound and pure?
17002Is this, indeed, as the Committee assert, one of the"admitted principles"of our Church?
17002It ought to be so, ought it not?
17002May the Board of Missions, on mere report or suspicion, recall them without giving them a proper trial?
17002May we not refer, without being charged with disrespect, to the Synod of Jerusalem as a proper example for our General Synod?
17002May we not,_ must_ we not, correct them?
17002No?
17002On the plan proposed, what can the Church do with them?
17002Or are there to be two distinct evangelistic policies carried on at Amoy, the one by the Mission, and the other by the Classis?
17002Or is the Classis first to come over to the Synod, and so get to the Board in order to carry on the work around?
17002Peter 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?"
17002Possibly( not probably) the question will be asked, why were these churches allowed originally to become one?
17002The church grew, and in due time a Consistory was called for; must the work stop, because the Constitution had made no provision?
17002The important question now is, what will be the result of this decision on the Church at Amoy?
17002Then why form the connection?
17002They might by the act of our Church, and_ a correlative act on their own part_, become an integral part of the Church in America?
17002They would have been strictly correct if they had run as follows:"These Churches are_ all_( why say,''_ three at least_''?)
17002We might have acted on such principles, but shall we be_ censured_ for not doing it?
17002We must obey Synod, but may not the Church change or improve her decisions?
17002What made them so?
17002What then?
17002What will be the difficulties when it becomes an_ Indian_ Classis?
17002Who is the Lord of conscience?
17002Why forget or ignore the fact that they are_ Evangelists_ and_ not Pastors_?
17002Why is not the Dutch Church the principal Presbyterian body in this land?
17002Why must we deprive the native Christians of the benefit of the collective wisdom of all the churches of like doctrine and order among them?
17002Why not so?
17002Why not?
17002Why object to an ecclesiastical relationship exactly corresponding to, and required by, their office and position?
17002Why strive to entail like evils on our Missionary churches?
17002Why, then, such questions and suggestions?
17002Will any one assert that the Classis thus formed at Amoy is not a Classis_ de facto_?
17002Will it be said, there is no danger of such difficulty?
17002Will it not seem to them that our Church is deficient in liberality, when they learn the decision of the last Synod?
17002Would 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?
17002and where shall the thousands of dollars of necessary expense come from?
17002one of the"convictions in the mind of our Church, hardly separable in idea from its very existence?"
17002one of the"old truths maintained through blood and flame?"
17002or are they all_ essentially American_?
17002or that they were in any sense under the control of those bodies?
36694How has Heaven declar''d that he is resolv''d not to bless this immoderate Generation?
36694If any man ask me why these men shou''d not perfect the Nation Peace as well as other men?
36694The Grand dispute in this Quarrelsome Age, is against our Brethren who Dissent from the Church; and from what principle do we act?

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

14411I How can we account for it?
14411I inquired of the man who sat next me,"What are those little trees for?"
14411I inquired,"How long do they keep those little trees there?"
14411Is it dependable?
14411Is it for the pleasure of sleeping?

332903 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?
33290Am I trying to love and serve God with all my heart?
33290Do 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?
33290Have I always told the truth?
33290Have I been honest in everything?
33290Have I been regular in my times of receiving the Holy Communion?
33290Have I been to Church every Sunday, and kept the rest of the day as I ought?
33290Have I done anything impure, or said anything impure, or encouraged any impure thought?
33290Have I fallen into any special sin, which is troubling my mind, and keeping me back from God?
33290Have I quarrelled with any one, or lost my temper?
33290Have I said my prayers reverently and carefully every night and morning?
33290Have I thought or spoken evil of another?
33290Have I tried to forgive any who may have done me a wrong?
33290If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your worldly things?
33290Is there any sin I am not willing to give up?
33290Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee?
33290Or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
33290What bad thoughts have I given way to?
33290What evil words have I spoken?
33290Who goeth a warfare at any time of his own cost?
33290Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof?
33290Whoso 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?
36912He is altogether dead in sin?
36912Of his present darkness what shall we say?
36912What 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?
10274Doth not,saith this kind of slanderer,"his temper incline him to do thus?
10274I pray thee;what language could be more courteous and gentle?
10274My son;what compellation could be more benign and kind?
10274Swords,saith the psalmist of such persons,"are in their lips: Who( say they) doth hear?"
10274Tell 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?
10274give glory to God, and make confession;what words could be more inoffensively pertinent?
10274Again:"He doeth well,"saith the sycophant,"it is true; but why, and to what end?
10274And is not the same, is not much greater care to be used in regard to the incomparably great and glorious Majesty of Heaven?
10274And 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?
10274And when he sentenced that great malefactor, the cause of so much mischief, this was all he said,"Why hast thou troubled us?
10274Are not some persons always, and all persons sometimes, incapable otherwise to divert themselves, than by such discourse?
10274But first it may be demanded what the thing we speak of is, or what this facetiousness doth import?
10274Could he have said more?
10274Do pretty conceits or humorous talk carry on any business, or perform any work?
10274For he that dareth thus to injure his neighbour, who can trust him in anything he speaks?
10274For in ordinary conversation what needful or reasonable occasion can intervene of violating this command?
10274For what can be more unsuitable and unpromising, than to seem serious with those who are not so themselves, or demure with the scornful?
10274He 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?
10274If he goeth to clear himself from the matter of such aspersions:"What need,"saith this insidious speaker,"of that?
10274If oaths generally become cheap and vile, what will that of allegiance signify?
10274If we do mark what is done in many( might I not say, in most?)
10274If 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?
10274Is it not grown so common a thing to asperse causelessly that no man wonders at it, that few dislike, that scarce any detest it?
10274Is it not more advisable to suppress our passion, or to let it evaporate otherwise, than to discharge it in so foul a way?
10274Is 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?
10274Is it not wisdom rather to smother or curb our humour, than by satisfying it thus to forfeit our innocence?
10274Is it not, as most men do, out of ill design?
10274Is not always the straight way more short than the oblique and crooked?
10274Is not this plainly the life of a child that is ever busy, yet never hath anything to do?
10274Shall we, I say, have no recreation?
10274Since he rejecteth the grounds of reasoning,''tis vain to be in earnest; what then remains but to jest with him?
10274Surely 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?"
10274To what purpose, I pray, is God''s name hooked and haled into our idle talk?
10274What 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?
10274What do men commonly please themselves in so much, as in carping and harshly censuring, in defaming and abusing their neighbours?
10274What is a little truth, what is any man''s reputation in comparison to the carrying on such brave designs?
10274What more than this can he say for himself?
10274What satisfaction will any man have from it?
10274What therefore, beside monstrous vanity and unaccountable perverseness, should hold men so devoted thereto?
10274What were more ridiculous than to swear the truth of a demonstrable theorem?
10274Who then will be the more trusted for swearing?
10274Who will regard his fame, who will be concerned to excuse his faults, who so outrageously abuseth the reputation of others?
10274Why should those games which excite our wits and fancies be less reasonable than those whereby our grosser parts and faculties are exercised?
10274an assembly of treacherous men, and they bend their tongues like their bow for lies"?
10274are the treasures and joys of paradise, or the damages and torments in hell, more jesting matters?
10274can there be any valuable exchange for our honesty?
10274companies, what is it but one telling malicious stories of, or fastening odious characters upon another?
10274did I name you?
10274do you not prejudge yourself guilty?
10274had he not fair opportunity and strong temptation to it?
10274hath he not acted so in like cases?
10274have not others made as fair a show?
10274is not the fair way more pleasant and passable than the foul?
10274is not the plain way more easy than the rough and cragged?
10274may he not dissemble now?
10274may he not recoil hereafter?
10274may not his interest have swayed him thereto?
10274must I needs mean you?
10274or must our recreations be ever clownish, or childish, consisting merely in rustical efforts, or in petty sleights of bodily strength and activity?
10274what will not he say to please his vile humour, or further his base interest?
10274what, thinks any man, will he scruple or boggle at, who hath the heart in thus doing wrong and mischief to imitate the devil?
10274why do you then assume it to yourself?
10274why should we so often mention Him, when we do not mean anything about Him?
10274why, if he deemeth his own honesty to bear proof, doth he cite Heaven to warrant it?
10274would he have said so much, if he had not conceived the matter to be of exceeding weight and consequence?
10274would 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?
36667Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
36667And it is a question which they must settle with their consciences,"how can they meet these charges at the bar of the Final Judge?"
36667Here is a man that asserts that he has been born again, but where is the evidence?
36667The absorbing inquiry will be"What must I do to be saved?"
36667They are led to inquire-- is there any_ reality_ in the work of the Holy Spirit?
36667Under these circumstances what is duty?
36667What does he do more than others?
36667What would Paul do?
19193Are you in earnest? 19193 Did n''t I pay you enough for it?
19193Didst thou bring''sealed instructions''with thee, dove, How to unlock the fount of mother- love? 19193 How can I get shoes, and where?"
19193Never 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?
19193Oh, 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?
19193Unanswered yet? 19193 Unanswered yet?
19193What care?'' 19193 What is the best a friend can be To any soul, to you or me?
19193What matter I or they, Mine or another''s day, So the right word be said And life the sweeter made?
19193Whence came the father- heart in man, The mother- heart in woman? 19193 Wonderful the whiteness of thy glory; Can we truly that perfection share?
19193Would you like some grapes?
19193You, frail, powerless, little one?
19193''O foolish little acorn, wilt thou be all this?''
19193And are there not many voices that are silent, taking no part in the song, giving forth no praise?
19193And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye?
19193And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye?
19193Are our feet shod for the journey?
19193Beyond these two wide, general lessons of all sorrow, it usually is not wise to press our question,"Why is it?"
19193Bird, where is thy wing?
19193But are our tongues the only faculties we can use for Christ?
19193But 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?
19193But do we know the story of the picture?
19193But 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?
19193But 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?
19193But may it not be that he would send the comfort through our own heart and lips?
19193But 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?
19193But was that lovely young life indeed wasted?
19193But what shall we say of those strong men and women who do almost nothing but rest?
19193Croons a young mother over her babe:--"And art thou mine, thou helpless, trembling thing, Thou lovely presence?
19193Dear 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?"
19193Do parents think their grown- up children are too big to be petted, to be kissed at meeting and parting?
19193Do you know the book''s story?
19193Do you need money?"
19193Do you remember about Christ''s feet, that they were pierced with nails?
19193Does God answer prayers?
19193Does faith begin to fail?
19193Does not God miss any voice that is silent in the music of earth that rises up to him?
19193Does not the same law of love"that seeketh not its own"apply when our beloved ones are called up higher?
19193Does 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?
19193From your new mansion glorious Will you lean out to look for us?
19193Have I grace enough to bow in submission to God, if he were to take away my dearest treasure?
19193His friends said he wasted his precious life; but was that life wasted when Jesus was crucified?
19193How am I to test myself as to whether his purpose in afflicting me has been accomplished?
19193How can I roll this burden of mine upon God?"
19193How can we make sure of an influence that shall be only a benediction?
19193How can we present ourselves as a sacrifice to God?
19193How does your friend know that you are grateful, if you do not in some way tell him that you are?
19193How shall I walk before thee?
19193How, then, may we become transfigured Christians?
19193If not, what need would there be for iron shoes?
19193If this does not repay, What else?
19193If you are kind to another, is he not your debtor?
19193If you show another favors, does not he owe you thanks?
19193In what life is there no place that is always kept green in memory, because there a sweet blessing was received?
19193Is his dealing with me purely disciplinary?
19193Is hope departing, And think you all in vain those falling tears?
19193Is not God''s praise better than man''s?
19193Is not this strange snow- flower an illustration of many Christian lives?
19193Is there any heroism of this world''s life finer than that?
19193May we not then say that children bring great possibility of blessing and happiness to a home?
19193Or am I not anxiously to inquire concerning the specific lessons, but rather to let him show in due time what he designed?
19193Or could I meet death without fear?"
19193Shall we not catch St. Paul''s unconquerable spirit, that we may never faint in any trial?
19193Shall we not learn to work swiftly for our Master?
19193Shall we not quickly start our heart- song of gratitude, calling upon every power of our being to praise God?
19193Shall we not seek to crowd the days with most earnest living?
19193Should we not be willing to endure loss and pain that those dear to us may receive gain and blessing?
19193Shut is the far- off, shining gate-- Are we too late?"
19193So he asked her,"What is your father teaching you?"
19193Some people are forever unwisely testing themselves by questions like these:"Could I endure sore bereavement?
19193Suppose that her hand should slack, that she should grow negligent, would she not clearly be robbing God?
19193The Master''s teaching is inexorable:"If ye love them that love you, what thank have ye?
19193The following words are suggestive:"Unanswered yet, the prayer your lips have pleaded In agony of heart these many years?
19193The good Samaritan is our Lord''s answer to the question,"Who is my neighbor?"
19193The love throughout the cosmic plan Which makes God''s children human?
19193Then may we not even put sorrow down as one of the secrets of happiness in a true Christian home?
19193Then, how much can we put into thoughts of prayer, into longings, desires, aspirations, beyond the possibilities of speech?
19193There 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?"
19193To be victorious and live, or to succumb and die?
19193We are apt to ask:--"Dear Lord, will it not do, If we return not wrong for wrong, And neither love nor hate?
19193We 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?
19193What are the lessons he would teach me?
19193What is prayer?
19193What remembrance would it then have had?
19193When our heart is stirred to its depths, what large, great things can we ask in words?
19193Who will say that he may not yet, in some way, at some time, be brought back to God?
19193Why has God thus dealt with me?
19193Why was a double stroke necessary?
19193Why was it?
19193Would her deed of careful keeping have been told over all the world?
19193Would it be true kindness to keep these birds always in the sunshine?
19193Would it be true love for these if God would hear their prayers for the removal of their pain?
19193Would there have been any mention of it on the Gospel pages?
19193Yes; but suppose she had left the ointment in the unbroken vase?
19193Yet ought we not to give thanks for all that we receive and for every answered request?
19193keep my garments whole?
2603Did you get him?
2603RECENTLY a London magazine sent out 1,000 inquiries on the question,''What is home?'' 2603 Where is Hardy?"
2603Will you please look through my mouth and nose?
2603''See what?''
2603''Where did you get them?''
2603''Whose establishment is that?''
2603A fellow- creature there, and we on shore?
2603And yet, who is at fault?
2603And, boys, what do you suppose that package was?
2603As one has asked:"Could fools to keep their own contrive, On whom, on what could gamesters thrive?"
2603But how is one to do this with so many demands made upon her?
2603But one asks, If tobacco is so injurious, why is it used with such apparent pleasure?
2603But quickly one replies,"Why should there be any social glass?"
2603But who is this aged woman with worn garments and disheveled hair, with agonized entreaty falling upon her knees beside this brave, strong man?
2603Did you save them all?"
2603Dr. J. M. Buckley asks:"Have you a purpose and a plan?"
2603Have I a friend?
2603How can one be in their company, be moved to laughter and to tears and not be contaminated by them?
2603How can she be a true mother to her children and neglect their mental and spiritual growth?
2603How do the American people deal with evils when they deal with them at all?
2603How many friends have I?
2603How may home be made attractive?
2603How may we best benefit ourselves, inspire one another, and in it all, honor God?
2603How shall the company disband in due season?
2603How shall we oppose the evil?
2603I can invoice my stock, my goods, my land, my money, can I invoice my friends?
2603I said to myself,"What does God mean to allow me to worship here?"
2603If Christ Himself were here in body, do you know what He would advise on this point?
2603Is family worship formal, or has it ceased?
2603Is the class- meeting becoming extinct?
2603Is the prayer- meeting lifeless?
2603Is the revival spirit decaying?
2603It becomes a question which is of greater importance, the life and health of the wife and mother, or the paltry wages of a servant?
2603It is not true that the dance, as an institution, is not patronized by the most capable in conversation and companionship?
2603It might be a mark of credit rather than an embarrassment for one to answer,"No,"to the question,"Have you read the latest book?"
2603Now, how may we get the largest amount of pleasure, of rest, of recreation from such gatherings?
2603Says 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?
2603She kept quiet as long as she could; but finally rising came to them, and addressing the judge, asked:''Do you know me?''
2603THE PRACTICAL QUESTION FOR US HERE AND NOW IS, How may we openly oppose this drink evil?
2603The first man to help them land was Hardy, whose words rang above the roar of the breakers:"Are you all here?
2603The judge turned to the trembling woman and said:"This is a pretty clear case, madam; have you anything to say in your defense?"
2603There should not be a social glass; but what has that to do with the fact that the social glass is here?
2603To what may we turn?
2603WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP?
2603WHAT IS HOME?
2603We answer, by asking, Will one''s home be happier and more prosperous without some deadly Foe continually invading it, or with such a Foe?
2603What did Agassiz find on that tour?
2603What is our duty?
2603What is that secret?
2603What is the uncertain mark of a friend?
2603What 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?
2603What was her end?
2603When Great Britain went a little too far in"taxation without representation,"what course did the American Colonies adopt in remedying the evil?
2603When a Territory is organized, or a State comes into the Union, what is done?
2603When the British Government unduly impressed American seamen, how was the difficulty settled?
2603When we wanted to increase our territory in 1803, and in 1845, and in 1867, how did we go about it?
2603When will the drink evil cease in our country?
2603When will we have representatives in Congress, lawmakers who will stand for the abolition of the saloon, and who will vote it out of existence?
2603Where may we go?
2603Who does not find himself, daily, looking through other people''s glasses, weighing on other people''s scales, sounding other people''s voices?
2603Who does this, if it is done?
2603Who is it that feeds and supports them?
2603Who is it that helps one to places of honor and usefulness?
2603Who is it that recognizes one''s true worth, extols his virtues, and gives tone and quality to the diligent services of months and years?
2603Who knows what such an one will do next?
2603Whoever heard of a first- class loafer who did not e- a- t the weed or burn it, or both?
2603Would 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?
2603You answer,"Why allow these fountains of death to exist?"
2603You ask, Will one''s body be healthier and live longer without tobacco than with it?
2603leave one there to die alone?
38378B. Remsburg Is the Christian Sabbath of divine origin?
38378THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH IS IT OF DIVINE ORIGIN?
16863Have you not deposited silver with some person of your acquaintance?
16863The treasurer inquired, what could I say?
16863Then it is your wish to recover?
16863Then 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?
16863We 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?
16863Where is your silver, gold, and jewels?
16863Why,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?
16863And have we ever repented that we came?
16863And is it indeed true that my own dear Harriet and my dearly loved brother are adopted into the family of God''s chosen ones?
16863And when you were able to speak, why were you not incessantly telling us of this day of doom, when we visited you?
16863And wilt thou, then, with soothing voice, Of Jesus''painful conflicts tell?
16863Are you married?
16863Are you teachers of religion?
16863Are your names really written in the Lamb''s book of life?...
16863At 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?''
16863But if not, oh who can tell your dreadful danger?
16863But is this all the silver you have?"
16863But, said Mr. Judson, suppose you change worlds in the meantime?
16863Can I sacriligiously wish to rob her crown of a single gem?
16863Can we wonder that after laboring in loneliness and sorrow three years, such an event as this should fill their hearts with joy and consolation?
16863Can you tell me of any?"
16863Christians 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?
16863For if one heathen heart could be thus led by the Spirit to investigate the truth, why not more.--Why not many?
16863Forgive the throbbings of my heart?
16863Had we not better call the physician?
16863Have you repented and turned to him?
16863He persisted''Are there any in Rangoon?''
16863He stopped, partly turned towards us--''Who are these?''
16863His Majesty said,"Will you then come again?"
16863How can you endure that gloom without the light of God''s countenance?
16863How could you think on anything but our salvation?...
16863I said again,''Do you still love me?''
16863I 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?''
16863I waited not for the usual question to a suppliant,''What do you want?''
16863If this world is so happy, what must heaven be?"
16863Is it suitable that you should take it?
16863Is not this encouraging?"
16863Many months later he wrote;"You ask many questions about our sufferings at Ava, but how can I answer them now?
16863Mr. Mason said to him,''Is there nothing we can do for you?
16863My acquaintances are all in prison, with whom should I deposit silver?
16863My brother, have you a heart to pray to God?
16863Now, what is all this world to me, Since I have found my world in thee?
16863On seeing my tears, he said,''Are you not reconciled to the will of God, my love?''
16863Or are you all careless and indifferent respecting your precious soul?
16863Or shall we try to remove you into town immediately?''
16863Shall we take them or let them remain?''
16863She 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?
16863Should I not rather stay and assist in gathering in these dear scattered lambs of the fold?
16863They have never done anything to deserve such treatment; and is it right they should be treated thus?
16863What good has been effected?
16863What must I do, said I, to obtain a mitigation of the sufferings of the two teachers?
16863What scene of beauty''mid the desert wakes?
16863What will be the state of your soul if Jesus is not your friend?
16863What will you do when this favorite rill of pleasure ceases to flow?
16863What wilt thou have us to do?
16863When did you arrive?
16863Where wilt thou have us to go?
16863Who can paint the alarming prospect before you?
16863Who could be found to take his place?
16863Who created all that her eyes beheld?
16863Who 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?
16863Why did I not listen to the advice of friends in Bengal and remain till the war was concluded?
16863Why do you dress so?''
16863Why, oh why did you ever speak of any other thing, while we were ignorant of this most momentous of all truths?
16863Wilt 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?
16863a medical man too?''
16863adds her husband,"With what meekness, patience magnanimity and Christian fortitude, she bore those sufferings; and can I wish they had been less?
16863and why might not the same Spirit lead them to him who is not only the truth, but the way,--the way to Heaven?
16863or that the moment of departure must arrive, before she could falter,"My child,_ I hope_ I am willing?"
16863should we have white teeth like a dog or a monkey?"
16863through the silent waste, what murmur breaks?
16863wilt thou then forgive the tear?
16863wilt thou watch with wakeful eye, The dying pillow of thy love?
38227Does that make any difference?
38227Where do we read, my dear, in the Bible about the Rainbow?
38227How many colours are there?
38227Julia''s mamma went up to her, and said,"Will you be so obliging as to let us have a shelter from the storm?
38227What was Noah''s conduct on leaving the ark?
37143What are they doing in heaven?
37143But why should he try to convey an idea of that growing answer to his prayer?
37143How did they start?
37143If 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?
37143Shall tribulation, or distress, or peril, or sword?
37143Subconscious Religion Does God Answer Christians Only?
37143We 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?
37143What did they do first?
37143What 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?
37143Why could not he follow their example?
38371Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
38371By what species of casuistry does any person think it possible to put this forward as sane public policy?
38371Is it possible for impudence to go further?...
38371Is this the form of doctrine calculated to raise the moral tone of the community?
38371Its privileges may be free; but what does that mean to those who count them as worthless?
38371Why should it be the only one to demand a favoritism incompatible with self- respect or with justice to its fellows?
39839And what figure is so expressive of the Christian faith as the hallowed symbol of the Cross?
39839CONCLUSION-- Popularity of Symbolism-- Totems-- Kobong-- Heraldic Symbols-- Symbol of the Cross: What it implies?
39839Who can picture a sincerely Christian devotion hacking and hewing at the statue of the Redeemer?
22098A 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?)
22098Is 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?"
22098Whosoever 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?
2209816, 17 v._ Who are the true Israelites?_ Answer, God''s people.
22098A question was asked, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
22098Again, if the Sabbath was not instituted in Paradise, why did Moses mention it in connection with the creation of the world?
22098Again, is it right and lawful to carry forth our dead on the Sabbath?
22098And did not God require them to keep THE Sabbath before he made this covenant with them in Horeb?
22098Are we_ all_ right?
22098By what authority do you call the seventh day Sabbath, the Jewish Sabbath?
22098Can it be supposed that his fixing on upon_ seven_ was accidental?
22098Did he break the Sabbath?
22098Did he keep the commandments?
22098Did not God say that Abraham kept his commandments, statutes, and laws?
22098Did our Saviour ever meet with his disciples on the first day of the week after the evening of the day of his resurrection?
22098Do you ask for any more evidence that these are the Jewish Sabbaths, and that God''s Sabbath is separate from them?
22098Do you ask for the proof?
22098Does he not say that he is the Shepherd of the Sheep,--what, of the Jews only?
22098Does not Isaiah say that God will bless the_ man_, and the_ son_ of_ man_, and the_ sons_ of the_ stranger_, that keep THE Sabbath?
22098Does this differ from the_ law_ God?
22098Does this look like abolishing the Sabbath day?
22098FIRST QUESTION IS, WHEN WAS THE SABBATH INSTITUTED?
22098Has anything been said about the 1st day yet?
22098He asks them if they had a sheep fall into the ditch on the Sabbath, if they would not haul him out?
22098Hear Paul:"Is he the God of the Jews only?
22098His answer is,"Why do ye transgress the commandment of God?"
22098How is that, says one?
22098How much better then is a man than a sheep?
22098How?
22098IF SO, WHEN, AND FOR WHAT REASON?
22098IF SO, WHEN, AND WHERE IS THE PROOF?
22098If God instituted the Sabbath in Paradise and has not abolished it here, then must it be_ perpetual_?
22098If you do n''t know, why are you so sure that the_ first_ day is right?
22098Is he not also of the Gentiles?
22098Is he not also of the[ 45]Gentiles?
22098Is it not clear, then, that the Sabbath was made for Adam and his posterity, the whole family of_ man_?
22098Is not the Sabbath included in these commandments?
22098Is not the stranger and all within their gates included in the covenant to keep the Sabbath?
22098Now I ask if there is one particle of proof that the Sabbath of the Lord is included in these Sabbaths and feast days?
22098Now I ask if this looks like Sunday, the first day of the week?
22098Now we ask, if God has ever abrogated the law of the Sabbath?
22098Now why this preference for the number_ seven_?
22098Of what_ law_?
22098Once more,"One came and said unto him, good master what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?
22098Says one, has not the ceremonial law been annulled and nailed to the cross?
22098Sick, or well, ministers or laymen, do they not ride back and forth to meeting?
22098The 2d question is, did our Lord ever trifle with, or mislead his disciples?
22098The first question is, at what age of the world is this, where our Lord recognizes the Sabbath?
22098The law of ceremonies?
22098The second question then, is this: HAS THE SABBATH BEEN ABOLISHED SINCE THE SEVENTH DAY OF CREATION?
22098The third question: WAS THE SEVENTH- DAY SABBATH EVER CHANGED?
22098Then he asked him which?
22098To the Colossians he asks,"Why as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances where all are to perish with their using?"
22098To what people did_ the_ Sabbath belong at the destruction of Jerusalem, nearly forty years after the crucifixion?
22098Very well then, does not the_ seventh_ come the day before the eighth?
22098Was not the second covenant written on the hearts of the Gentile, even the law of Commandments?
22098What do you mean by_ beginning_?
22098What does God say of Abraham?
22098What was it?
22098Where do you draw the distinguishing line, to show which is and which is not MAN between the_ natural seed of Abraham_ and the Gentiles?
22098Where is the precept?
22098Where was it then?
22098Where?
22098Where?
22098Which day now will you choose?
22098Who is the stranger?
22098Who shall settle this question?
22098Why did he say,"Think not I am come to destroy the_ law_ or the prophets?
22098Why was it Paul''s manner always to preach on the seventh day Sabbath to Jews and Gentiles?
22098Why?
22098Why?
22098Why?
22098Why?
22098Yes, 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.
22098and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world?
22098every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it,( does he mean me?
22098iii: 31, he closes with this language:"Do we then make void the law through faith?
22098our Saviour says to his disciples, in answer to their questions, When shall these things be?
22098why not five or ten days, or any other number?
22098xvi: 23) and then state that the seventh day Sabbath commenced, as_ some_ will have it?
36350And who is granny?
36350Did you ever go to a Sunday- school or Band of Hope meeting?
36350Do you suppose, Harry, he could do anything with the cooking- stove? 36350 So?
36350Well,I said,"you believe Jesus died to save you?"
36350A pig is not pretty?
36350Are not the Annamese and Tonquinese Chinese, to whom liberty is as dear as to the French?
36350Are they allowed to go about everywhere free from the insults, abuse, assaults, wrongs and injuries from which men of other nationalities are free?
36350As I handed him a picture paper, I asked,"Are you hungry, my boy?"
36350As for the Chinese who are here, are they allowed to enjoy liberty as men of all other nationalities enjoy it?
36350Better let him take the umbrella to his shop and mend it, and is there anything else?
36350But are the Chinese allowed to come?
36350Do 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?
36350I said to him,"Do you believe in Christ?"
36350Is it not woman''s work for woman to carry the Gospel of Christ to these despised ones?
36350It was a strange, exciting, pathetic scene, that at Hampton; who that saw it will ever forget it?
36350Months 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?"
36350The hour is fraught with mystery-- A hush pervades that throng, And each one thinks of home and friends, And says at heart,"How long?"
36350There was no market for grapes-- what should he do with his vineyard?
36350Was ever a position in controversy more triumphantly carried?
36350Well, Mr. Cable retorts, where is the evidence?
36350What right has one party to affirm what the other party wants?
36350What right have the French to deprive them of their liberty?
36350Why not?
40428How is it else that mobs should often escape with so little rebuke?
40428What then will be the effect of an adherence to this principle on the part of subjects, as such?
40428Who is it that stands before its walls, and utters its doom?
26097Have 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?
26097And 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?
26097And do we now blame ourselves for this?
26097And had I been as diligent as I ought, who can tell what Progress it might have made in Divine Knowledge?
26097And may not that Hope be greatly confirmed from whatever, of an amiable and regular Disposition, we have observed in those that are taken away?
26097And shall We object against the Force of it?
26097And 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?
26097And what shall we say?
26097And when GOD hath done all this for me, is he rashly to be suspected of Unkindness?
26097And, Lord, wilt thou_ open thine Eyes on such a one, to bring_ it_ into_ strict_ Judgment with thee_[c]?
26097Answer, 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?
26097Are not the Administrations of his Providence wise and good?
26097Art thou under these Obligations to him, and wilt thou yet complain?
26097Can we tax him with Injustice?
26097Can we then imagine that our dear Children fall into their Graves without his Notice or Interposition?
26097Can we_ teach him Knowledge_[i]?
26097Did I mean in effect to say,_ Lord, I will give it up, if thou wilt not take it?
26097Did 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?"
26097Did he think the Life of this Child too great a Good to grant, when he thought not Christ and Glory too precious?
26097Do I need additional Reasons to justify the Divine Conduct, in an Instance which my Child is celebrating in the Songs of Heaven?
26097How did it learn Language so soon, and in such a Compass and Readiness?
26097How shall we express our Affection to them?
26097I was left alone, and these where have they been?_[k] Was this my Desolation?
26097Is it in the Coffin?
26097Is it in the Grave?
26097Is 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.
26097Is it well with the Child?
26097Is it well with thine Husband?
26097Is it well with thine Husband?
26097May we not then hope that many little Children are admitted into it?
26097Must you not acknowledge_ it is well_, that you enjoyed so many Years of Comfort in them?
26097My Brethren and Friends, what shall I say to you, who are lamenting over your_ Absaloms_, and almost wishing_ you had died for them_[m]?
26097Nay, are there not many abandon''d Sinners who would tremble at such Expressions?
26097Or have We any new Right to_ reply against GOD_[a], which those eminent Saints had not?
26097Or shall I pretend, after all, to set up a Claim in Opposition to his?
26097Or what if it had been otherwise?
26097Or would it thank me for that With?
26097Shall I then complain of it as a rigorous Severity to my Family, that GOD hath taken it to the Family above?
26097THESE are surely convincing Reasons to the Understanding: Yet who can say, that they shalt be Reasons to the Heart?
26097To borrow the Words of the sacred Writer, in a very different Sense?
26097Was it a Reason to_ David_, and to_ Eli_, and is it not equally so to us?
26097Was there Unkindness in that?
26097What are my narrow Conceptions, that they should pretend to circumscribe infinite Wisdom, Faithfulness, and Mercy?
26097What if that strong Attachment of my Heart to it, had been a Snare to the Child, and to me?
26097Whence does such a Thought come, and whither would it lead?
26097Where is now our Delight?
26097Where is our Hope?
26097Who might not claim the like Exemption?
26097With what Grace, with what Decency canst thou dispute this, or any other Matter, with thy GOD?
26097Would 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?
26097gone from our Embraces, and all the little Pleasures we could give it, to everlasting Darkness and Pain?"
26097that you reaped so much solid Satisfaction from them?
26097this my Sorrow?
29096Dost 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?
29096He 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?"
29096And now how do we come to this place of triumph?
29096And we will not marvel if to us, as to Saul of Tarsus, the answer to the question,"What wilt thou have me to do?"
29096And what else is taught by the Apostle when he says,"The Spirit maketh intercession_ in the Saints_ according to the will of God"?
29096But can we honestly go on to base the assertion on the fact of our own love to men, to-- souls?
29096But then circumstances change, and what becomes of the peace?
29096But will something within us object and say,"Shining means burning up and burning out: the candle will grow shorter, and the battery weaker"?
29096But, 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?"
29096By what means is it granted us to enter so fully into the songs which shall one day resound through the universe?
29096Death 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?
29096Did 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"?
29096Does it matter in what order we ascend our virtue- scale?
29096Does that seem strange?
29096Finally, does it seem a contradiction in terms to talk of becoming a child?
29096Have 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?
29096How much, therefore, hast thou received from thy Lord?"
29096Is it Pacific Ocean then; or do we find, as may be those early adventurers, that it was too hastily named?
29096Is it not rather God''s way of showing us how He is unceasingly glorified in those who live nearest Him, whose lives worship Him?
29096Is there this property of radiation about the light that God has given you?
29096Is this a little knowledge?
29096It 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?"
29096Of what use would a hand be that never grasped anything?
29096Our question, then, is,"Whereby shall we know that we are of the truth?"
29096Peter had professed to be faithful above others; and now the Lord asks him,"Lovest thou Me more than these?"
29096Peter was grieved because He saith unto him the third time, Lovest thou Me?
29096V HE RESTORETH MY SOUL"So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these?
29096Was there ever a time when the Master expected so much from thee as this?
29096We have conferences on many subjects-- on peace, on holiness, on temperance: who ever heard of another conference( as this was) on_ death_?
29096What is involved in thus becoming a child of God?
29096What is your sect?
29096What shall we then say: Is a new Sinai set up on the square of the New Jerusalem?
29096What, will you complain, like little children, because your Teacher has been giving you too many rows to add up?
29096When the boat had been brought to land, the Lord questioned Peter, not saying,"Thou didst deny Me,"but"Dost thou love Me?"
29096Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit, or whither shall I flee from Thy Presence?
29096Who was it that answered so readily,''Lord, to whom shall we go?''
29096Will not the greatness of thy privilege be the greatness of thy condemnation?
29096Would He not have to say,''None of them is lost, except the Sons of Perdition, the Denier and the Betrayer''?
29096Would He speak like that now, if He were beginning His intercessory prayer again?
29096XII TESTS OF FAITH, LOVE, AND RIGHTNESS What are the experimental bases of our Christianity?
29096and may we not rest upon the assurance conveyed by the present tense of the verb employed?
29096and were they dead before?
29096and whereby shall we know that we are of the truth and assure our hearts before Him?
29096how long does it take one to reach love?
35737And hereupon my eyes I close, And fall asleep heart- glad, My God doth watch o''er my repose, Why should my heart be sad?
35737And now, Lord, what wait I for?
35737But are not also weak believers to be numbered among the unworthy communicants?
35737Christ is near, What can here E''er of Him deprive me?
35737For who am I that Thou shouldst so friendly call me?
35737God oft gives me days of gladness, Shall I grieve If He give Seasons too of sadness?
35737How can I according to my obligations be sufficiently thankful?
35737How couldst Thou indeed have shown greater love to me?
35737How shall I find words to express the inestimable value of these blessings?
35737I trust in thee-- whom I adore; If I have thee, what need I more?
35737In my affliction and pain, where, O dear Jesus, could I make my refuge, but in Thy_ five_ sacred wounds?
35737In what respects indeed are we worthy that Thou doest manifest such grace unto us?
35737Must I then His own restore Him?
35737My Lord and my God, what shall I render unto Thee for all the benefits which Thou daily bestowest?
35737O Lord, how shall we find the way, unless Thou teachest us through Thy Spirit, and through Him leadest and preservest us upon it?
35737O why should I not magnify Thee with due praise, how could my spirit refrain from rejoicing?
35737On whom then shall I, wretched man, put my trust?
35737Though a heavy cross I''m bearing, And my heart Feels the smart, Shall I be despairing?
35737Warum sollt ich mich denn grà ¦ men?
35737What can it help, if thou bewail thee O''er each dark moment as it flies?
35737What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never- ceasing moans and sighs?
35737What is all that life possesseth?
35737What shall I render unto Thee, wherewith shall I worthily praise Thee?
35737Where now is the way which will lead us safely through to Thee?
35737Wherewith shall I, poor needy mortal, requite such unspeakable benefit?
35737Who can rob me of my heaven That God''s Son, As mine own, To my faith hath given?
35737Who can sufficiently praise His mercy and loving- kindness?
35737Why do you desire to go to the Holy Supper?
35737Why should I make myself an exception?
35737Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
35737what is man that Thou art mindful of him; and the son of man that Thou doest thus receive him unto Thyself?
10129Can I regret his quitting a lesser good for a bigger? 10129 Can it be?
10129Have you not a little of that book done which you would be graciously pleased to give me?
10129In 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?
10129Pray, madam,said the King after he had assured her she was quite mistaken,"have you ever been in company with her?"
10129Remember her? 10129 Tell me, Mrs. Wesley, whether you ever really wanted bread?"
10129Then was it delightful to think you were going home, dear Fan?
10129What then is love? 10129 Who is God?"
10129Who is Jesus?
10129Why 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?''
101299:''Have not I commanded thee?
10129After a few more words, she said,"Why can not you trust yourself to your Saviour at once?
10129And if there is, what can be impossible to infinite power?
10129And use her He did, as He does all who cry,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me do?"
10129And was_ His_ mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay?-- How may_ we_ meet our conflict yet, In the dark, narrow way?
10129And what if these asses blunder about the Master''s meaning for a time, and mistake it often, as they did formerly?
10129And when that work was done, Life''s quiet evening come, What then awaited her?
10129And whether an eternal relation be more considerable than a temporary one?
10129Annseley?"
10129Bright jewels of the mine?
10129But now it presented itself to her eye-- and no less surely to her heart:"Have not I commanded thee?
10129But which should she enter?
10129Can I ever be one?"
10129Can you picture to yourself the palpitation of our hearts as we approached his mansion?
10129Could my own mother bear to think of her child for the next few months as in Syria instead of Germany?
10129Could you not commit your soul to Him, to your Saviour, Jesus?''
10129Doth it need to be disputed whether God is better and greater than man?
10129Doth the blessed God hereby cease to be the best and most excellent good?
10129For what purpose has the Lord of the universe made His creature man with a comprehensive mind?
10129Fresh songs and scents break forth where''er thou art-- What wakest thou in the heart?
10129Had he been there before?
10129Had he seen any writings concerning Jesus?
10129Have I faith?
10129He returned to the bedside, and rather awkwardly put the formal question to the amused invalid,"How are you to- day, my poor child?"
10129Her children heard her say,"My dear Saviour, art Thou come to help me in my extremity at last?"
10129Her immediate"What is that?"
10129His 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?
10129His argument was real and ready:"Not believe in a God, mamma?
10129How are we lamented, in the wind''s low tone, By voices that are gone?"
10129How could they be otherwise when she was so thoughtful and considerate for them?
10129How well the poetess indicated the, motive which led them from their native country to the unknown land!--"What sought they thus afar?
10129How, but through Him, that path who trod?
10129I 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?''
10129I used to have such a desire to be a nun: why, then, am I married now?
10129I_ did_ think of the alarming call,''What doest thou here, Elijah?''
10129If every one shrinks back because incompetent, who will ever do anything?
10129In Thy strong hand I lay me down, So shall the work be done; For who can work so wondrously As an Almighty One?
10129In her journal she writes:--"What should I be without my Bible?"
10129In which direction should she turn her steps with most advantage?
10129Is His nature changed?
10129Is it not enough that I am bereft of both my brothers, but must my mother follow too?
10129Is it not marvellous?
10129Is it possible to convert Moslems to Christianity?
10129Is it there, sweet mother, that better land?''
10129Is it where the flower of the orange blows, And the fire- flies glance through the myrtle boughs?''
10129Is the Christian training of the nurses to be the primary, and hospital skill the secondary object?
10129Jesus said,''It is finished;''and what was His precious blood shed for?
10129Let not past errors discourage; who lives and sins not?
10129Look up to the firmament, and down to the deep, how can any doubt a divine power?
10129Many were the touching inquiries from the patients of"How is the lady?"
10129O Beauty, ancient and new, why have I known Thee so late?
10129Oh, how shall we describe its strange, mysterious essence?
10129Only a tomb?
10129Only an hour before her death she asked,"Is Charles''letter come?"
10129Or more to be valued, loved, and delighted in?
10129Shall we not seek it, and weep no more?
10129She 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?
10129Supposing that now, at this moment, Christ were to come in the clouds of heaven, and take up His redeemed, could you not trust Him?
10129The human heart, with all its dreams and sighs?
10129The same fond mother bent at night O''er each fair sleeping brow; She had each folded flower in sight-- Where are those dreamers now''?
10129The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?
10129Then, why an infidel in the world?
10129Was her life thrown away?
10129Were the labours and sufferings she had bodily undergone wasted?
10129What am I that I should withstand God?"
10129What do you think of us?"
10129What if I were in as many errors as Mr. Law himself?
10129What is man, that Thou art mindful of him?
10129What_ here_ shall quench it?"
10129When asked if she had any fear, she replied,"Why should I?
10129When burdened with the difficulties of the work, she would often exclaim,"Why tarry the wheels of His chariot?"
10129Whence are they charmed-- those earnest eyes?
10129Where the burning rays of the ruby shine, And the diamond lights up the secret mine, And the pearl gleams forth from the coral strand?
10129Who can wonder that at this too realistic sight the little girl''s valour gave way?
10129Who does he expect made the world and his own body?"
10129Who has not beheld the sad spectacle of women anxious to help, yet helpless because of their ignorance and want of training?
10129Who knows but in this too-- a complete renunciation of the world-- you may be successful?"
10129Why does she go?"
10129Why give him the faculty of thinking, the powers of wit and memory; and, to crown all, an immortal and never- dying spirit?
10129Why make him a little lower than the angels?
10129Would not His call, His promise be enough for you?
10129Would you not go if you thought it your duty?"
10129Yet who that knows the Lord Jesus as"a living bright reality"can talk of sacrifice?
10129and by what fatality has this happened to me?"
10129and now''Please, miss, may n''t girls sign?''
10129are they ready to receive it?
10129is any day otherwise with me?"
10129or the son of man, that Thou shouldest so regard him?''
10129what Christian is not so too?
10129what is my title?''

33492David or Jeremiah, or is it altogether an ideal portrait?
33492Did 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?
33492Do not experiences and prayers like these come home to Christians with a curious sense of familiarity?

33492Is not this tragedy of faith repeated in every age?
33492Is the Temple of the Psalms ever the first Temple, or is it always the second?

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?
29449Amongst husbands and wives?
29449Amongst mothers and children?
29449And having been taken into them, and they being a thousand times more poignant than any earthly experience, how could we forget them?
29449And how can the heat or fire of God be described?
29449And how shall we receive the Mind of Christ?
29449And what is His will and what is His work?
29449And where is that secret trysting- place of love?

29449Did Jesus call us saints?
29449Do sinful men never suffer?
29449Do the sinful escape disease?
29449Do they not all proceed from self and fellow- men, alive or dead?
29449For I said,"Shall dogs outdo us in love and devotion?"
29449For how can any condition be rightly named poverty which brings us into the riches of God?
29449For how otherwise could we be made to know of the reality of spiritual things if we were never_ taken into_ them?
29449For instance, how could my sweet Jesus, whom I was always so near to, be the mighty Christ and God?
29449For where otherwise is his superiority?
29449Hast Thou no pity for my pain?--is this Thy love?
29449Hast thou created even thine own palate and digestion?
29449Hast thou invented any of those fond delights that so enslave thee now?
29449Hast thou thyself devised the means wherewith to satisfy the longing of thy_ creature_ for the sweets of life?

29449How could I possibly resist Him?
29449How did the soul ever become so separated from God?
29449How long wilt Thou leave me here-- set down upon the earth in this martyrdom of languishing for love of Thee?
29449I am amazed, for where is the glory of any man?
29449Is baptism of itself sufficient to get us into this Kingdom?
29449Is the leading of an orderly social life sufficient to find it?
29449Is this some deliberate trial of us by the Master?
29449Is this the remnant of the unruly creature rising up and grappling with the soul again?
29449It is written,"They shall love silver, and not be satisfied with it"--for why?
29449Lord, I am sick and ill-- how canst Thou leave me so?
29449My bread is spread with bitterness; where is the honey that I love so well?
29449Of things known, to what can we compare it?
29449Or is it Thy will that the soul should adore?
29449Shall we find it in much outward study?
29449Then is it Thy will that the creature should love Thee?
29449Then where do sorrow and waiting fly?
29449Then why blame God?
29449This is the grace of God, and what does it cost Him to pour out this mighty power through us?

29449What did I ever do that He should show me such kindness?
29449What is the crucifix but that most awful of all things-- the Grief of God made Visible?
29449What is this love for God, and how define it?
29449What is this world?
29449What lover could endure to do such a thing?
29449When 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?
29449Where among my friends could I find perfect love?
29449Where is my recompense?
29449Who 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?
29449Why does He not permit me to do so?"
29449Why have a contempt for the body?
29449Why stay behind?
29449Why, then, am I a sinner?
29449Yet look where we will in Nature, do we find a warrant for such a thought?
29449and did_ I_ ever have a hand in such a thing?
29449and live for ever without biting the dust in death or disappointment?

18444According to the record,-- What shall the dying sinner do?
18444Ah, whither could we flee for aid When tempted, desolate, dismayed, Or how the hosts of hell defeat Had suffering saints no Mercy Seat?
18444And could a dearer_ vade mecum_ enrich a Christian''s outfit than these lines treasured in memory?
18444Another,-- And is this life prolonged to you?
18444Are these the thanks we owe, Thus to abuse Eternal Love Whence all our blessings flow?
18444Are we not tending upward too As fast as time can move?
18444Bold shall I stand in Thy great day, For who aught to my charge shall lay?
18444But how could it be sung without a tune?
18444But still earth''s witcheries my spirit darken; This passing life, these passing joys all flying, And still my soul in dreamy slumbers lying?
18444But the major mode will replace the minor when tender voices on burial days sing-- Why do we mourn departed friends?
18444Can I leave you Far in heathen lands to dwell?
18444Can rolling oceans e''er prevent thee, Or gold the Christian''s spirit tame?
18444Dadmun''s_ Melodian_( 1860) copied it, retaining, apparently, the original music, with an added refrain of invitation,"Will you go?
18444Did Christ o''er sinners weep, And shall our cheeks be dry?
18444Different parts,_ per fugam_, inquire from clef to clef-- And did He rise?
18444Dr. Watts in this hymn gave experimental piety its hour and language of reflection and penitence: Is this the kind return?
18444Earth''s pleasures shall I still hold dear?
18444Eternal truth and mercy shine In Him, and He Himself is thine: And canst thou then, with sin beset, Such charms, such matchless charms forget?
18444Friends, connections, happy country, Can I bid you all farewell?
18444Has the night been long and mournful?
18444Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
18444Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
18444Have we trials and temptations?
18444His sweet hymn, known in Neale''s translation,-- Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distrest?
18444I gave my life for thee: What hast thou given for me?
18444Is it an improvement?
18444Is there trouble anywhere?
18444It was probably four hundred years before Bonaventura(?)
18444It was very slow in coming, but the inevitable"how long?"
18444Lo the King of Life, the guiltless, Dies my guilty soul to save; Who can choose but think upon it, Who can choose but praise and sing?
18444Longfellow?"
18444My heart overflows, for I love him he knows, O where is my boy tonight?
18444O death, where is thy sting?
18444O grave where is thy victory?
18444O grave, where is thy victory?"
18444O say, can you see by the dawn''s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight''s last gleaming?
18444O where is my boy tonight?
18444O who will come, And share in the glory of the harvest home?
18444O who will help us to garner in The sheaves of good from the fields of sin?
18444O, what shall the harvest be?
18444O, what shall the harvest be?
18444On death, on the grave and its terrors And storms we shall gaze from above And freed from all cares we shall revel(?)
18444Pope combined these two poems with the words of Divine inspiration,"O death, where is thy sting?
18444Preachers to the diffident do not forget to quote-- Have you no words?
18444SHALL I NOT HEAR?"
18444See 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?
18444Shall life''s swift- passing years all fly, And still my soul in slumber lie?
18444Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at Thy right hand?
18444Sometimes it was-- Where now is the good Elijah?
18444The best known is that beginning-- When shall we all meet again?
18444The graves of all His saints He blessed And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest But with their dying Head?
18444The motto read"I did this for thee; what doest thou for me?"
18444The poem has fourteen stanzas, the following being the first and two last-- Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
18444The wealth of seas?
18444Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, Should I not love Thee well?
18444There were men with hoary hair amidst that pilgrim band,-- Why had_ they_ come to wither there, away from their childhood''s land?
18444There would not be room in a dozen pages to record all the similar saving incidents connected with the singing of"Where Is My Wandering Boy?"
18444This eminent man was named by the Arabs"Ibn Mansur,"Son( Servant?)
18444This hymn of Christian ardor was written to be sung after a sermon from Romans 8:35,"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?"
18444Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
18444WHAT MEAN THOSE HOLY VOICES?"
18444Well may I set the world at nought; Jesus is mine, O can it be That Jesus lived and died for me?]
18444What is this absorbs me quite, Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirit, draws my breath, Tell me, my soul, can this be death?
18444What is this that grieves you?
18444What sought they thus afar?
18444What though the flood of evil Rise stormily and dark?
18444What though the winds be angry, What though the waves be high While wisdom is the Ruler, The Lord of earth and sky?
18444When shall we all meet again?
18444When shall we all meet again?
18444Where are the reapers?
18444Who doth not crave for rest?
18444Who hath ripened the fruits into golden and red?
18444Who would not see the happy land Where they that loved are blest?
18444Why do we mourn departed friends, Or shake at death''s alarms?
18444Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
18444Will ye look for greener graves?
18444William Cousin of the Free church of Scotland, was born in Melrose(?
18444With a force and feeling that can easily be guessed she sang"Where Is My Boy Tonight?"
18444Yet who that knows the worth of prayer But wishes to be often there?
18444[ A] of myriads of burdened and sorrowing saints-- How long, dear Saviour, O how long Shall this bright hour delay?

18444bright jewels of the mine?
18444can man resign thee, Once having felt thy glorious flame?
18444oh, who, then, will dare To throw out the Life- line, his peril to share?

30459You do n''t s''pose that little pink and white chap has gone to our heaven, do you? 30459 A sense of fulness in the head? 30459 And when the Church has had that possession of the Spirit, has it not been especially her inspiration to cry out with the Gospel message? 30459 And will the Hallelujah Chorus as sung by the white choir be more acceptable to God than that sung by the black choir? 30459 Are the passages of the nose stopped up? 30459 Are there not those who can, by special gifts, make up this lack also? 30459 Are you troubled with hawking? 30459 Are you troubled with hoarseness? 30459 But does Christ allow His followers to decide that distinctions shall be made at His table on account of the hue of the skin? 30459 Can I tell you of any improvement among those with whom we have to do, since that time? 30459 DANGER SIGNALS Do you take cold easily? 30459 Did not the Spirit when sent forth lift the voice declaring the great Gospel message? 30459 Did we mean it? 30459 Did we mean it? 30459 Did we mean it? 30459 Did we_ mean_ it? 30459 Difficulty in breathing? 30459 Do n''t you think she''d like to know about the Christmas tree, Vic?

30459I asked one,"Is this your mode of fishing?"
30459I asked the women if a blessing followed their prayers?
30459In the day of judgment will the whites lead and the blacks follow?
30459Is it not a pitiful waste of the opportunity, that a factory building should be put up, workmen hired, materials supplied, but no_ machinery_ put in?
30459Is your breath foul?
30459Is your throat affected?
30459Is your voice harsh or rough?
30459Must_ we_, of all other teachers of science, be left to make bricks without straw?
30459Now, how do you like that?"
30459One of our enthusiastic teachers was asked,"How many Uncle Toms do you find in the South?"
30459Ringing or roaring or other noises in the ears, more or less impairment of the hearing?

30459Should a master workman be expected to teach the theory and practice of a trade through the use of_ pictures_ of tools and machines?
30459Soreness of the throat?
30459Spitting?
30459The following year the question was raised,"What if colored students should apply?"
30459We have no doubt of it; but in the resurrection will the whites put in an appearance first and the blacks second?
30459Weak, inflamed eyes?
30459What a lesson Peter learned that day when our Saviour, in His great interview by the sea, asked him:"Lovest thou me?"
30459What answer should be made to those who depreciate the negro''s mental capacity?

30459What would have been His answer?
30459Where is the word that warrants it?
30459Why not take some such position as that?
30459Will not the captains of our church hosts rally the forces to an immediate advance?
30459Will our friends please bear these things in mind?
30459Will the great chorus of Heaven be divided into two parts, a white division and a black division?
30459Will there be galleries with hard seats in Heaven for negroes and ground floors easy of access with soft seats for Caucasians?
30459_ Is_ that the way to meet the responsibility?
30459and what is the analysis that will find it in the spirit of the gospel?
19134What becomes of justice?
19134_ Lovest thou Me_?
19134_ Then came Peter, and said to Him,''Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? 19134 _ XIII THE EMPIRE OF LOVE But if this spirit of compassion were general, would virtue itself be secure?
19134A LOVER OF MEN_ THE CRADLE CROSS__"What shall I ask for Thee, my child?"
19134And why can not I settle my course of action?
19134Are they more merciful, more compassionate, more sympathetic than average mankind?
19134Besides, had I not my own work?
19134But have we accepted it as the only authoritative rule of practice?
19134But how could I attain to their faith?
19134But what are the great things of life?
19134But what if the teachers themselves have never found the true secret of Jesus?
19134But who listens, who believes?
19134But whose love is limitless?
19134Can 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?
19134Can human life proceed along the lines He indicated?
19134Could it be that there was that in me that made me, or could make me, of their company?
19134Dare we question that a world governed wholly by the ideals of Jesus would be a far happier world than this we know?
19134Do they not share the same social prejudices, and guide their lives by the same social traditions as the bulk of men and women?
19134Do we find, as we survey this field, that force has ever proved the true dynamic of stable social government?
19134Do we not commonly speak of love as being outworn by offense or neglect?
19134Does it matter greatly what He taught?
19134Exposed to their temptations, deprived of all the helpful friendships that have interposed between my life and ruin, should I have done as well?
19134For what is the total result of all our punishments in the name of law but the manufacture of criminals?
19134Have hearts e''er thriven beneath our angry frown?
19134Have roses grown from thistles we have sown?
19134Have we ever tried to live one day of our life so that it should resemble one of the days of the Son of Man?
19134He wept, and would have none of them.__"What shall I get for Thee, my Child?"
19134Hence the wise and good man is perpetually urged to the enquiry whether Jesus may not after all have been right?
19134How are we to be convinced?
19134How is it that such men are so unconscious of offense?
19134How many times have I borne the society of inferior people with ungracious tolerance, and hastened from them with undisguised relief?
19134How oft shall I forgive my brother?
19134How 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?
19134I go to meet my Lord in Galilee._ II WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?
19134In the compacts which we make with one another in the name of love, do we not specifically name certain offenses as unpardonable?
19134Is it then not within the competence of man to interpret Christ aright, simply because the masculine temperament is what it is?
19134Is not a Catherine a better guide to Jesus than a Dominic?
19134Is not this in itself a justification of the spirit of Jesus?
19134It is romantic justice, we say, but is it practicable justice?
19134LOVE AND FORGIVENESS_ LOVE''S PROFIT__ What profits all the hate that we have known The bitter words, not all unmerited?
19134Let us turn to Christ''s vision of the Judgment, as recorded by St. Matthew, and what do we find?
19134May not the same be said of all the lives that fail, whether through ignorance or want, folly or crime?
19134Men live for something; for what did Jesus live?
19134Of what administration of law can we say that its chief object is not the punishment of the wrong- doer, but his reclamation?
19134Or lucid dawns flowered out of sunsets red?
19134Remembering this, can I be hard towards those who fell?
19134Should I discern the Light and Life of men beneath His gray disguise of circumstance?
19134Should I have left my books, my studious calm, my pleasant and sufficing tasks, to listen to One who seemed so little likely to instruct me?
19134THE PRACTICE OF LOVE_ FELLOW SUFFERERS__ When men of malice wrought the crown for Thee Didst Thou complain?
19134That is, at all events, an intelligible defense, but is it a legitimate one?
19134The 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?
19134Until seven times?''
19134WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?
19134WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?
19134Was He a moral anarchist, whose teachings, if interpreted in laws, would destroy the basis of society?
19134Was Jesus merely a romantic dreamer, with entirely romantic views of love and justice?
19134Was Jesus right in these conclusions?
19134Was it not just this, that each had beneath his masculine strength a feminine tenderness, a power of loving and of begetting love in others?
19134Was not her vision after all the true one?
19134We are bound therefore to ask, can that method of conduct be wrong which has won this triumphant issue?
19134We 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?"
19134What are his bad manners but the penalty of a narrow life?
19134What is a Christian Church but a confraternity of such men and women?
19134What is a Christian society, but a society permeated by this spirit, and bringing all the affairs of life to its test?
19134What is his ignorance after all but lack of opportunity?
19134What is it then in Paul and John and Peter, what element or quality, which we do not find in Pilate, Judas, or Napoleon?
19134What is the exact nature of their impact upon society?
19134Whence are these, and why are they arrayed in white robes?
19134Where was the spectacle of a character composed of new qualities, a life wholly governed by novel impulses and principles?
19134Which nature is radically the better, his or"this woman''s"?
19134Which presents the more hopeful field to the moralist?
19134Who are better fitted for the custody of the criminal than people whose lives are based on the merciful ideals of Jesus?
19134Who can count the broken hearts in the pathway of that implacable ambition which"wades through slaughter to a throne"?
19134Who 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?
19134Why am I not as these?
19134Why could I not be content to fulfill the common standard approved by the average conception of Christianity?
19134Why should I do what no one expected me to do?
19134Why should not the Church replace the jail?
19134Why was it that I was only sympathizer and spectator, never comrade?
19134With all these forces against us how can we love our neighbour as ourselves?
19134With their life to live, had I done better?
19134Would not a fatal lenience towards vice become the temper of society?
19134Would we be content to leave the administration of society in the hands of Jesus?
19134Would we confidently submit our own case to His jurisdiction?
19134Yet who would venture to challenge the conduct of Jesus in these respects?
43870But what say our constituents?
16657And I said,''Who are you, Lord?'' 16657 Are there not fish in the sea for food?"

16657Why do you do this so early?
16657Why have you come here?
16657Why should a man toil so terribly hard?
16657Why then,went on the voice,"dost thou leave God, Who is the Master and rich, for man, who is the servant and poor?"
16657Why will you stay with these cursed people of Kaf? 16657 Will you be long, Father?"
16657Will you give me the book?
16657Will you give up the infidel religion and become a true believer and say''There is no God but Allah, and Mahomet is his prophet?''
16657Will you go away from the city?
16657Will you read?
16657Will you, then, sell your own people that they may be taken out of their homeland into a strange country? 16657 You wish then to become Saracens-- worshippers of Allah in the name of Mahomet?"
16657You,said the chief with biting irony,"my friend?
16657A boat was let down into the Thames, and half a dozen sailors tumbled into her and rowed to_ The Duff._ What did the officer find?

16657But what of the people of the island?

16657Could it ever be that he would go into the heart of Africa like Livingstone?

16657For what reason should she face these perils?
16657He sat down by him and, talking very quietly so that the others should not hear, said:"Who are you, and from where do you come?"
16657He then turned to his three defenders and said,"What made you come to defend me as you did?"
16657How could a whole batch of loaves be stuffed in one saddle- bag?
16657How could they possibly know that I was not one of the wicked set?
16657How dare you insult us?"
16657How would these savage people welcome the white men and woman in their snorting great canoe that had no paddles, nor oars?
16657If you despise us black men, what do you want here in the country that God has given to us?

16657Should he go home to England, where all his friends were?
16657Should he risk the favour of the King by fighting the battle of a few slaves?
16657Should she run back and tell the warriors, who a hundred yards away were spoiling for a fight?
16657So at Rarotonga, when the call came,"Who will go ashore?"
16657The Government officer shouts his challenge:"What ship is that and what is her cargo?"
16657Then two of the savages said to"Bisipi,"as they called the Bishop:"Will you come into our canoe?"
16657They drew up their horses shouting,"Who are you?
16657This is what he said to them,"What is this you write--''Come home''?
16657This work pleased Sabat, for was it not through reading an Arabic New Testament that all his own life had been changed?
16657Was all her trouble in vain?
16657Was it to be the last time that they would pray to God in this life?
16657Was it worth while?
16657Was their martyrdom worth while?
16657Was this last hope, by a fine ecstasy of torture, to be dangled before them and then snatched away?
16657What could she do?
16657What do you think I ought to do?"
16657What do you think she did?
16657What do you want?"

36162What is it I prize most? 36162 Who is this Jeremiah, and what are his words, that we should think of them a second time?
36162And did not they come in this same order?
36162And does not He realize all the stress through which a soul must pass that would fight its contest and advance to its best?
36162But what was the effect of this situation on Jonathan?
36162But with what results?
36162Did it never strike you that he gave you your lameness for the same reason, to make a splendid man of you?''
36162Did not the cherubim drive sinful Adam and Eve out of the garden, and stand with flaming sword forbidding their return?
36162He might have reasoned,"Why should not I, in this special matter, yield, and give up recognition of Jehovah until the storm of persecution is past?"
36162He touched my arm, and said,''You wish you were one of those boys, do you?''
36162His guests at Brantwood were often awakened early in the morning by a knocking at their doors and the call,"Are you looking out?"
36162How shall he meet Esau?
36162How should all this transfer of honor affect Jonathan?
36162Or should he lay hold of God''s promise to sustain him, and do his best to throw this stranger, and thus preserve his life and accomplish his mission?

36162Was Abraham willing to give to God his best treasure, his Isaac?
36162Was God really on his side?
36162Was it because he could fight beast and man well?

36162What had he done to deserve it?
36162What is a person''s best?
36162What is it that gives me largest place among my fellows?"
36162What is the best possession a human life can have?
36162What shall we do in the face of all these questions?
36162What should Jacob do with these thoughts?
36162What would Jonathan do now?
36162What would he do about it?
36162When others were turning against him, would he also turn against him?
36162Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?"
36162Why did he succeed so well in them?
36162Why should not the heavens be closed, and be dark and forbidding to a defrauder like himself?
36162Will you suffer David to live and take your throne?"
36162With a heart overflowing with unselfishness, he cried to God,"I have sinned, I have done perversely, but these sheep, what have they done?
36162Would this God, the God that had promised to bring him back to Canaan and give him a place there, surely preserve him?

30645But,replied the minister,"which way dost thou expect comfort and salvation, seeing that thou art a sinner?"

30645Doth not,said she,"the pestilence come from God?
30645O, my dear child,said his father,"hast thou so strong faith?"
30645O,said she,"why do you weep over me, seeing you have no reason to question: but, if the Lord takes me, it shall be well with me to all eternity?
30645Why then,said he,"do you suffer them to be put there?
30645Why,said her friend,"did you not say yesterday you did not love the Lord, and that you could not?"
30645A friend of his asked him, when he was first taken sick, whether he was not willing to die?
30645About which time, when she was sick, one asked her what she thought would become of her if she should die?
30645After he was pretty well satisfied about that, he inquired how his soul might be saved?
30645After this, that friend asked her how she did now?
30645Again, being asked how she knew that she did not love God?
30645An hour and a half before his death, the same minister came again to visit him, and asked him,"John, art thou not afraid to die?"
30645And do you not pray every day that the will of God may be done upon earth as it is in heaven?
30645And is not the Lord the Creator and Ruler of the air?
30645Being asked whether he had rather live or die?
30645Being asked why she was afraid she should go to hell?
30645Being farther demanded if she would not fain love God?
30645But seeing all this did but increase his mother''s grief, he asked her,"What she meant thus to offend God?
30645But what are we ourselves?
30645But what shall I say?
30645But why do I thus speak?
30645Does it come from the air?
30645Father, know you not what is said by Jeremiah?
30645He asked again whether he was marked?

30645Her mother asked her what she should pray for, for her?
30645Her mother asked her where?
30645Her mother asked her why she spoke so little to the minister that came to her?
30645Her mother being full of sorrow after the death of her husband, this child came to her and asked her why she wept so exceedingly?
30645Her mother seeing her troubled, asked her what was the matter?
30645His mother asked him whether he was willing to die and leave her?
30645His mother, looking upon his brother, shook her head: at which he asked if his brother was marked with the complaint?
30645His pains increasing upon him, one asked him whether he would rather still endure those pains or forsake Christ?
30645His sickness was a lingering disease: against which, to comfort him, one tells him of possessions that must fall to his portion;"And what are they?"
30645I am a poor creature without thee; but, Lord Jesus, my soul longs to be with thee: O when shall it be?

30645None of the scholars could answer it, till it came to John Harvey, who, being asked whether Christ had a mother?
30645Not long after, the same person asked him again,"If he was willing to die?"
30645O why do you afflict yourselves thus?
30645On Saturday she spoke but little, being very drowsy, yet now and then she dropped these words,"How long, O blessed Jesus?
30645Once when his parents had prayed with him, they asked him if they should once more send for the physician?
30645One asked her how she knew that?
30645One asked her what it was that she fixed her eyes upon so eagerly?
30645One demanded of her, what the glory was like?
30645One time when she fell into a fit, she cried out,"O I am going; I am going: but what shall I do to be saved?
30645Or if they say it comes from the earth, hath not he the same power and influence upon that too?

30645She replied,"I can not tell what, but I am going to it: will you go with me?
30645The Lord''s day before that on which she died, a kinsman of hers came to see her, and asked her whether she knew him?

30645The next morning he was asked if he wished to converse with a minister?
30645The question that was once proposed to his form was, whether Christ had a mother?
30645What sin was there that his age was capable of, which he did not commit?
30645What talk they of a ship that came from Africa?
30645When he was at school what was it that he desired to learn but Christ and him crucified?
30645When he was out of his trance, he asked his nurse why she did not let him go?
30645Why else doth the Scripture say, Shall there be evil in the city which I have not sent?
30645Why not now, blessed Jesus?
30645how sad is that to us, that we must part?"
30645she replied,"What have I done for God ever since I was born?
30645whither?"
10022Am I doing anything for my Saviour?
10022Am I having any success in winning people for Jesus?
10022And you want to work among those terrible people?
10022Are n''t you afraid of that wild country?
10022Are n''t you afraid to go among these wicked men? 10022 Are you willing?"
10022But Mary,said the superintendent,"you are doing a fine job here in the church; why do you want to go to the mission?"
10022But 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?
10022But 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?
10022But where shall I work now?
10022But who will take care of the work at Akpap?
10022But why did you seek me? 10022 But why do they do such cruel, wicked things to harmless babies?"
10022But why do you want to talk to me?
10022But why is your heart sad?
10022But why keep them?
10022Can I leave my home? 10022 Can we come?"
10022Chief Njiri,said Mary,"why have you taken this young man?
10022Chief,they cried,"you are not going to cut that tree, are you?
10022Did the brother get up from the grave?
10022Did the whole village hurt you? 10022 Did you need your guns and swords?"
10022Do n''t they have any missionaries out there, Mother?
10022Do n''t you know that Calabar is the white man''s grave?
10022Do you know what this country is like?
10022Do you think I am so foolish, Ma? 10022 Do you think you can change them?
10022Do you trust those wild people?
10022Ekpo,said Mary,"why are n''t you on your way to God''s house?
10022Have n''t any missionaries been there?
10022How can I do it? 10022 How was your trip?
10022Howsh my, besht gurl? 10022 If no one can hurt you, why do n''t you set this young man free?"
10022If your heart were sad, would you go any place?
10022Is anyone here?
10022Is n''t it much more dangerous there?
10022Is the juju still there?
10022Is this the way you welcome lady visitors?
10022King Eyo Honesty? 10022 Ma, how can I stop these women''s mouths?"
10022Ma, when are you going to come and stay a long time with us?
10022Oh, Chief Edem,said Mary,"how could you do this?
10022Oh, why can not the church send two workers to Ikpe?
10022Shall 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?
10022Tell me, Mary, have you gone into that country at all?
10022They''re bad people, are n''t they, Mother?
10022Well, Mary dear, what are you doing?
10022What are you going to do now?
10022What do they do to twins?
10022What do you think of our work here?
10022What do you want to do when you go back?
10022What happened when they cut off the head of your chicken?
10022What have you come for?

10022Where is this country where you want to work?
10022Where is your chief?
10022Where should I go now?
10022Where''sh the shteps? 10022 Who are they?
10022Who is that chief?
10022Who wants shupper?
10022Why did they do this to you, Ipke?
10022Why do n''t I become a missionary?
10022Why 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?"
10022Why have you done this?
10022Why, Mary,said Miss Wright,"what are you doing here?
10022Will Bwana Ovens make a fine box for my son?
10022Will you not have me honor my son? 10022 Wo n''t you go and bury the rest of the dead?"
10022Would a man go among strangers without arms?
10022Yes, do n''t you think they have a great need for the Gospel?
10022You do not believe in the witch doctors, do you?
10022You 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?"
10022And if her mother agreed, would her church send her out to that field?
10022At last she found one of the natives and asked,"Where is the government boat?
10022But what would her mother say?
10022But where shall we go?"
10022But where were the people?
10022But who will tell these people about Jesus?
10022But will I be brave enough?
10022Did God want Mary to work at Ikpe?
10022Did Mary still remember she wanted to be a missionary in Calabar?
10022Did the whole village shoot the young man?
10022Did you enjoy your visit at Duke Town?"
10022Does Mother still need my help?
10022Had they accepted her offer or refused it?
10022He bowed and said,"Are you the new white ma that is coming to the mission?"
10022He said to me,''How do you know it is not the God of the white man who is angry with you?
10022How is that possible?"
10022I said,''How can I find this God?''
10022If you do not care for us, who will care for us?"
10022Is it late?"
10022May I go?"
10022Now if I let these others go will you build me a box Bwana Ovens?"
10022Or would someone else preach the Gospel there?
10022Shall we build the church today?"
10022Was there to be no missionary from the Slessor family?
10022What if they should go on the warpath when you arrive?"
10022What kind of a funeral will that be for a chief''s son if no one is killed?
10022What new adventures awaited them in Africa?
10022What should Mary do now?
10022What should Mary do now?
10022What should she do?
10022When he finished his talk, he said,"Mary, wo n''t you speak to these people?"
10022When they were alone, Father Slessor hung his head and said,"Oh, my dear, what can I say?
10022When will you be satisfied that your son''s death was an accident?"
10022Who will take care of these people who are as dear to God as you or I?
10022Why did you want me to come to you?"
10022Why do you not trust in Jesus?"
10022Why rush away to those people way off in Africa?
10022Will you go back on your word and make me a liar?"
10022Will you promise me that you will not fight while I am gone?
10022Will you show mercy and kindness to the people of the village and free this young man?"
10022Wo n''t you come to the services and hear about Him?"
10022Wo n''t you come with me?"
10022Wo n''t you please honor us by coming into our house?"
10022Wo n''t you tell me about Africa?"
10022Would it be work in the jungles?
10022Would it be work she wanted to do?
10022Would 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?
10022Would 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?"
10022Would she ever get a chance to be a missionary or must she give up that dream?
10022Would the work in Okoyong be a failure or a success?
10022You who have so much, wo n''t you do something for these poor people of Africa?"
10022Your son was a Christian, was n''t he?"
37501And the time?
37501How could you keep your temper through all the vexatious dispute of to- night''s debate?
37501How did he know?
37501What must I do? 37501 What shall I put it to?"
37501What would be the effect,said I,"on you, if I were to appear at the moment the storm was about to burst?
37501Why did we not know?
37501Why not pray openly and unitedly-- and believe?
37501Why 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?
37501A 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?"
37501After all, is Christianity true?
37501But 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?
37501But what is prayer?
37501Can the head be anointed with God''s kingly oil which has not been bowed down in the darkness?
37501Did miracles happen?"
37501Do you know what it will cost?"
37501Do you know what"Sabbath Reading"is?
37501Does God not lead souls through darkness into light?
37501For what is the answer to prayer which the praying heart looks for?
37501Has every prayer power with God?
37501I said"Janet"--Janet Stewart was her name--"are you not giving me too much?"
37501If the hairs of our head are all numbered, why not also the shoes of our feet?"
37501Is not the Valley of the Shadow the precursor of the table of love which God spreads?
37501My grace is sufficient for thee"?
37501Paul?"
37501Quarrier?"
37501The certainties of the opening months or years of the Christian pilgrimage had given place to torturing questions, such as,"Am I not deceived?
37501We pray that the divine love would spare them dark days; and yet, are the prayers well prayed?
37501What are its real contents?
37501What is inspiration?
37501What shall be said of the faithful man who, through his own effort, maintained a small but efficient orphanage?
37501When 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?
37501and why not?
42331[ 19]--Turn ye, turn ye, then at his reproof, for why will ye die?"
42331And can the Christian refuse the command of Him who has done, and continues to do, such great things for him?
42331And now, brethren, have I made the duty enjoined in the text plain to you?
42331And who, on the other hand, can describe the horrors of a turbulent and disordered state of society?
42331Are there then any here, who are dissatisfied with the government they live under?
42331Are we then to offer no resistance to them?
42331Can your hands be strong, or your hearts endure in the day when he shall deal with you?
42331Did they offer any resistance"to the king as supreme?"
42331Is their character and conduct to make no difference in the submission due to them?
42331Must not the love he bears his Saviour constrain him to comply with his precepts?
42331Well, 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?
42331Who can estimate the present blessing of a quiet and well ordered government?
42331have 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?
29451For 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?
2945113._ By what means shall the ordinary man and woman, living the usual everyday life, whether of work or of leisure, find God?
29451A 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?
29451Again and again we may cry out,"But how love the invisible?"
29451And does He dare set Himself no difficult thing that He may overcome it?
29451And in all this pain of transition, what is the Divine Anaesthetic that He gives us?
29451And we?
29451And when the Garden closes down for us, what then?
29451Are any of these persons truly happy, truly satisfied in all their being?
29451Are these the ninety- and- nine just persons needing no repentance?
29451Are we then to suppose that God asks the impossible of His own creatures, that He mocks us?
29451But evil-- whence and why, since God is Love, Omnipotence, and Holiness?
29451But have they?
29451But holy love-- who can commence to describe it?
29451But how commence this formidable, this seemingly impossible task of finding God in a world in which He is totally invisible?
29451But how uncover a further consciousness?
29451But reason demands,"How is it possible that the soul should leave the body and the body not die?
29451Can any man devise a new sin?
29451Can any man free himself in such a manner from his own nature?
29451Does a man acquire great worldly wealth, or fame, in return for two moments of endeavour?
29451Give your heart to God,_ set it upon Him._ What is keeping you back?
29451Has the wind eyes or feet?
29451Having once re- found God, the soul frequently cries to Him in an anguish of pained wonder,"How could I ever have left Thee?
29451Having submitted to all that Christ esteems necessary for our regeneration, what does He set us to?
29451How and why can this be?
29451How are we to understand this but by assuming that if we try our strength against Evil, Evil is likely to overcome us?
29451How could I ever have been faithless to Thine Unutterable Perfections?"
29451How 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?
29451How is God- consciousness to be achieved-- shall we do it by study, by reading?
29451How many of us stop in the rush of our daily amusements, interests, and work to sympathise with Christ?
29451How shall I commence to love a Being whom I have never seen?
29451How shall ordinary mortals whilst still in the flesh re- enter Eden even for an hour?
29451How then shall the reason stand naked before God without madness or frenzy?
29451If the natural man were asked,"What is life?
29451In what way have we perhaps been approaching it?
29451Incessant 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?
29451Is Evil then an enemy?
29451Is it a gift because of some merit of goodness on our part beyond the goodness of other persons who are without it, though striving?
29451Is it a gift?
29451Is it a sagacity or cleverness, a height of learning, a result of close study?
29451Is it because of some work for God that we do in this world, charitable or social?
29451Is 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?
29451Is it, then, nothing but an arbitrary favouritism on His part?
29451Is the condition of blessed nearness to God permanent?
29451Is this loss or gain?
29451It is the Responsive God that we long for, and how shall we reach Him?
29451Ten years, twenty, thirty-- what are such in comparison with the blisses that shall afterwards be ours for all eternity?
29451Then what is our own position?
29451There is one test more sure than any other, which is to ask oneself,"Would Jesus have done just this?"
29451Was 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?
29451Was it from this I started on my wanderings from God?
29451Was this selection of His favouritism?
29451We all consider ourselves Christians as a matter of course; but why this certainty, what reason can we give?
29451We see it as disease, misery, imprisonment, and death; and who finds it difficult to turn away from such?
29451What are these blisses of God?
29451What are these joys of God?
29451What does it mean to"set the heart"upon something?
29451What is Nature but the demonstration in visible objects of an invisible Will?
29451What is it in our religion that we need for a full happiness?
29451What is our reward whilst still in this world for our patient obediences and renunciations?
29451What is the true aim of spiritual endeavour-- an attempt at personal and individual salvation?
29451What is then necessary?
29451What 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?
29451What then is needed, since death will not help us?
29451What were our Lord''s words?
29451What will these perhaps too much dreaded tests be that He will put us through?
29451Who can describe the marvels, the variations, the mystery of Grace?
29451Why is this?"
29451Why, then, is not every man given this knowledge?
29451Will chiffon help us?
29451Will the smiles of a long- since faithless lover be our strength?
29451is 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?
29451what is it to live?"
39622Are Catholics willing to do that?
39622Are there two kinds of Catholics?
39622But what will happen to the lamb?
39622But will she do it?
39622Could not, therefore, Napoleon come to Rome to be crowned in St. Peter''s cathedral?
39622Did he mean Rome, by"a foreign power?"
39622Did these statesmen speak the truth?
39622How can such a state make laws for Christians?
39622How did the clergy receive him?
39622How was the president going to persuade the French to make war upon a sister republic?
39622If the church submits to the state, it ceases to be divine, for how can a divine institution be subject to a man- made state?
39622Is the Church of Rome divided?
39622Is 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?
39622No?
39622We ask once more, are Catholics willing to do that?
39622Were they not sincere when they published in the papers that there were not in all France more loyal republicans than the Catholics?
39622What can a country do without the church?
39622What can the church do for a people?
39622What did they say to this betrayer of the nation, this traitor, who had violated his solemn oath?
39622What made Louis Napoleon a favorite with the church?
39622What today is the difference between Austria, for instance, and America?
39622When we have God for a teacher, or his vicar on earth to rule us, what would liberty be good for?
39622Why may a cardinal stand up for his church, and not I for the secular state?
39622Why?
39622Why?
39622Yes?
39622Yet 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?
45564How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
45564Is it not HOPE, the sister grace, that abideth?
45564What grace is this, thus added to faith and love?
20312Am I in my misery alone in the universe?
20312And can we not trust Him?
20312And did you ever find those thoughts, that slavish terror of God''s wrath, that dread of hell make you better men?
20312And do we not find that our Lord''s words are true?
20312And if the heart answers impatiently,"My good?
20312And is not the answer the most essential of all answers?
20312And shall we not be reunited in heaven by that still deeper tie?
20312And what better?
20312And what if earthly love seems so delicious that all change in it would seem a change for the worse, shall we repine?
20312And what shall we pray?
20312And when the Lord has drawn a man thus far, does He stop?
20312And why not thee, too, thou poor deserted one?
20312Are they the anxious people?
20312As for the sins of youth, what says the 130th Psalm?
20312Ask no more of Him,"Why hast thou made me thus?"
20312Ask no more,"Whence pain and death, war and famine, earthquake and tempest, and all the ills to which flesh is heir?"
20312Ask no more,"Why do the wicked prosper on the earth?"
20312Blessed are the forsaken and despised; did not all men forsake Jesus in His hour of need?
20312But faith can breed patience, though patience can not breed itself; and faith in whom?
20312But from whom do they come?
20312But what is their rest?
20312But what kind of comfort do we not merely like, but need?
20312But where are we to get patience?
20312But who has done it?
20312But why?
20312Did you ever have such thoughts?
20312Do I thus seem to undervalue earthly bliss?
20312Does God care for my trouble?
20312Does God feel for my trouble?
20312Does God know what trouble means?
20312Does God understand my trouble?
20312Does not God hate and despise me?
20312Dost thou long to right them, to deliver them, even at the price of thine own blood?
20312Dost thou suffer?
20312Dost thou sympathise with thy fellow- sufferers?
20312Even no judge?
20312For then in our misery and confusion we look up to heaven and ask, Is there any One in heaven who understands all this?
20312For what matter how bitter the medicine is if it does but save our lives?
20312God leads us; though blind, shall we be afraid to follow?
20312God''s way of preventing the cup of bliss being over sweet?
20312Has God forgotten to give light to suffering souls, because we can not see our way for a few short days of perplexity?
20312Has every utterance that has ever gone up from suffering and doubting humanity gone up in vain?
20312Has it not been fulfilled in them-- As thy day so shall thy strength be?
20312Hath He promised, and shall He not do it?
20312Have I any pleasure in the death of him that dieth saith the Lord, and not rather that he should be converted and live?"
20312Have 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?"
20312Have they not been God''s sending?
20312Have we not had in all things with the temptation a way to escape?
20312Have you ever had such thoughts?
20312He knows-- What does He not know?
20312How can I escape from Him?
20312How can I make Him change His mind?
20312How can I soothe and appease Him?
20312How can we prosper by doing anything else?
20312How shall the bottomless pit, if we fall into it, be a pathway to the everlasting rock?
20312How should I be able to get through such and such a trouble?
20312How then can I turn away His hate?
20312How then shall we escape the terror and misery of an evil conscience, and rise out of our sins?
20312I say: Is there a being who can ever hear our prayers?
20312If Thou, Lord, were extreme to mark what is done amiss, who could abide it?
20312If we say simply,"I am wretched, I ought to be wretched;"then we shall perhaps hear a voice,"Who made thee wretched but God?
20312If you can go to God Himself, why go to any of God''s creatures, however holy, pure, and loving?
20312If you can go to the pure fountain- head, why drink of the stream, which must have gathered something of defilement as it flows?
20312If, 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?
20312Is God''s love changed because we can not feel it in our trouble?
20312Is it not good news that_ that_ fire is unquenchable, that_ that_ worm will not die?
20312Is my misery without any meaning and without hope?
20312Is not marriage the mere approximation to a unity that shall be perfect in heaven?
20312Is not that one thought that our beloved ones sleep in Christ Jesus enough?
20312Is not that the most blessed news, that He who takes away, is the very same as He who gives?
20312Is not that the question of all questions?
20312Is prayer a superfluous folly, or the highest prudence?
20312Is the experience of men, heathen as well as Christian, for all these ages to go for nought?
20312Is the sun''s light perished out of the sky because the world is black with cloud and mist?
20312Is the sun''s warmth perished out of the sky because the storm is cold with hail and bitter winds?
20312Mere impertinences, the babblings of fair dreams, poured forth into no where, to no thing, and in vain?
20312Merely to be comfortable?
20312My belief is that God will punish( has He not punished already somewhat?)
20312No God, even though He be a consuming fire?
20312No One higher than man who cares for my soul, and for the souls of those who are dearer to me than my own soul?
20312No counsellor?
20312No deliverer?
20312No friend?
20312No helper?
20312No punisher?
20312Or must I fight the battle of life alone, without sympathy or help from God, who made me and has put me here?
20312Our Father has given us the cup-- shall we not drink it?
20312Shall I be a man there, or only a ghost, a spirit without a body?
20312Shall I be able to enjoy it?
20312Shall the disciple be above his Master?
20312Surely 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?
20312That He who afflicts is the very same as He who comforts?
20312That worst of all temptations, of which David only tasted a drop, when he cried out,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
20312The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
20312The 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?"
20312Then I can plead with God, even though in wild words like Job; and ask, What is the meaning of this sorrow?
20312Then what can He mean but thy good?"
20312Those who imagine to themselves possible misfortunes, and ask continually, What if this happened, or if that?
20312Though all forsake thee, He is with thee still, and if He be with thee, what matter who has left thee for a while?
20312To be free from fear, anxiety, sorrow?
20312We have received good from Thy hand, and shall we not receive evil?
20312What does it all mean?
20312What does the promise of your Baptism say?
20312What have I done?
20312What if evil still endure?
20312What if the end be not yet?
20312What if the medicine have not yet conquered the disease?
20312What is heaven like?
20312What matter?
20312What more miraculous in the doctrines of regeneration and renewal than in the mere fact of creation?
20312What more rational belief?
20312What shall I do to escape Him?"
20312What shall I do?
20312What should I do?
20312What was Christ''s life?
20312What will become of us after we die?
20312What will the next world be like?
20312When the human heart asks, Have we not only a God in Heaven, but a Father in Heaven?
20312Where is that comforter?
20312Wherefore should the wicked say-- Where is now his God?"
20312Who are the people who get through most work in their lives, with the least wear and tear?
20312Who is Lord of joy and sorrow?
20312Who is Lord of life and death?
20312Why did he die, we ask?
20312Why did he die?
20312Why not try them?
20312Why should I change?
20312Will He not hurl me into endless torment when I die?
20312Will He not take from me all I love best?
20312Would 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?
20312and consider, have they not been blessed lessons?
20312and if there be, what is He doing with me?"
18248After_ me_?
18248An''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?"
18248And do you remember, Lucy,asked Stella,"how hateful I was about poor Nelly, when we discovered her here?
18248And how does it come? 18248 And where is Lucy?"
18248And where is her father?
18248And why did you never come to see me, Nelly? 18248 And you did not know Oakvale was my home?"
18248And you''re going to sleep with me and be my little sister, are you not?
18248And, mother,asked Bessie, somewhat doubtfully,"may I go to- morrow and get the things to work a book- mark for Miss Preston?
18248Any one to meet you?
18248Are they in there?
18248Are you hurt, Cousin Lucy?
18248But perhaps you could tell us what place she went to from you?
18248But what should you or I have done if we had n''t been made to learn, whether we liked it or not?
18248But why did n''t you leave word where you were living, and I would have found you out?
18248But why do you cry so, Lucy?
18248But why? 18248 But would she be good to Nelly?"
18248But, Miss Lucy,said Nelly, as she was going away,"where is it I''m going to live now?"
18248Come, Stella, what was the text?
18248Did you call her after me before I came?
18248Do n''t you think, Stella, I might go to church this evening? 18248 Do you mean to say you really want to go?"
18248Does He love me?
18248Fred''s gone to college again, I suppose?
18248Has she?
18248How do you know?
18248How old are you?
18248How_ can_ she go on so,she thought,"after what Miss Preston has been saying?"
18248I should be glad to do anything I could,said Lucy;"but what would be best to try?"
18248I want him to call it Blanche-- such a pretty name, is n''t it, Lucy?
18248Is n''t she, for all the world, just like a picture?
18248Is she not here, then? 18248 Left all well at home?"
18248Lucy, ca n''t you come away and let her alone?
18248Lucy,said Stella, coming up to her during the afternoon,"do you see that ridiculous imitation of my dress that Nancy Parker has on?
18248Might 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?"
18248Mother,said Bessie, after she had duly announced the intended picnic,"ca n''t I have a new pink sash for my white frock?
18248Nelly, would you like to learn to read?
18248Oh, I forgot; I suppose you''re all broken up there now?
18248Oh, Stella, how can you go on so?
18248Shall I go there when I die, Lucy?
18248Shall I help you to unpack, Lucy?
18248So you''re my little cousin Amy?
18248So, Bessie, you''re going to lose your teacher?
18248That''s a quotation from one of Uncle Raymond''s sermons, is n''t it?
18248Then why do n''t you go to bed sooner at night, my dear, if you want more sleep?
18248Was anybody speaking to you?
18248Well, as you ca n''t be able to do it without learning, do n''t you think you''d better try?
18248Well, why should Jesus have died for you if you had not? 18248 What can have brought_ her_ here?
18248What have you got there?
18248What place is that?
18248What would you do with my old hat, mother,she said,"if I get a new one?"
18248Where?
18248Why ca n''t I go to Sunday school, then?
18248Why do n''t you get up a select one, then, attended only by young ladies of the best families?
18248Why should you not, dear Amy, when Jesus died that you might?
18248Why, is your mother going away?
18248Why, would n''t you like to be able to read that nice hymn Miss Preston gave you, for yourself?
18248Wo n''t Jesus forgive you, and make you good?
18248Wo n''t you look at my doll, Cousin Lucy?
18248You are cousin Edwin, I suppose?
18248Above 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?
18248And had not Miss Lucy explained to her that that meant taking anything, even the least, that was not her own?
18248And how would_ you_ have turned out from such a bringing- up, Mademoiselle Stella?"
18248And what of the others?
18248Bessie, are you too tired to read a chapter as soon as the boys come in?
18248But do you think the child herself will be willing to come?"
18248Can you say, from your own heart and experience, that you believe all that is true about Christ giving such peace and comfort in trouble?"
18248Did she stay long after we left, Alick?"
18248Do you sing?"
18248Do you think you''ll mind having her?"
18248Does it read it every night?"
18248For why should we consider anything too small to seek His aid, by whom the hairs of our head are all numbered?
18248Had not that been her own experience?
18248Had not the very smoothness and prosperity of her life, and her self- complacency in her own good management, been a snare to her?
18248Had she not been learning,"Thou shalt not steal?"
18248Had she not been told to"look to Jesus"when unhappy or naughty, and He would deliver her?
18248Had she not forgotten that already?
18248Had she not, in yielding to her peculiar temptation, allowed herself to become as worldly as those whom in her heart she had been condemning?
18248Has a Christian example given force to the precepts inculcated?
18248Has the_ heart_ been in the work?
18248Have thought and earnestness entered into the weekly instruction?
18248How had the desire been carried out?
18248How is Stella?"
18248I suppose Stella posted you up about us all?
18248It 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?
18248It sounds odd, does n''t it?
18248It was with a beating heart that she put the question,"Is Miss Lucy Raymond at home?"
18248No wonder the poor child was watching us while we were at tea; did n''t you see how hungry she was?"
18248Oh, what will she do?"
18248Presently he came up to Lucy, and, after a scrutinizing glance, he said, touching his hat:"My cousin Lucy Raymond, I presume?"
18248She 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?"
18248Suddenly Amy said,"Lucy, do you expect to go to heaven when you die, for sure?"
18248Suppose I try and bring the old lady round with a little judicious flattery?"
18248Then conscience said,"Would it be right?"
18248Through a medium so unyielding, how could the soft dew of holy, spiritual influence descend upon the heart, to nourish and fertilize it?
18248V._ Strawberrying._"Why should we fear youth''s draught of joy, If pure, would sparkle less?
18248Was it wrong to come away?"
18248Well, do n''t you love Him, Amy?
18248What are you going to see her for?"
18248What can she turn out, brought up under such a termagant?
18248What could I do, Miss Lucy, to help him?"
18248What pleasure can you find in it?
18248What was the cause of all the broken hearts and blighted lives from which is continually ascending such a wailing symphony of sorrow without hope?
18248What would Alick say to that?"
18248What would your uncle say?"
18248Where did you get it?"
18248Where is she gone?"
18248Where, indeed, is the earnest teacher, however faithful, who can lay down the self- imposed task without some such feelings?
18248Who''s got the most strawberries?
18248Why should the cup the sooner cloy Which God has deigned to bless?"
18248Why, do n''t you know your own mind?
18248Will they not have to give an account for these things?
18248Will you help me to make it up, Stella?"
18248Would Nelly come and be his daughter, and take poor Teresa''s forsaken tambourine?
18248Would you like that?"
18248You ca n''t read yet, I suppose?"
18248You love Him, I hope, Nelly, and pray to Him always?"
18248You''re going, are n''t you?"
18248You''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?
18248and seeing he was right, he added, with a nonchalant air,"Glad to see you; been waiting long?"
18248are you going out when it is so very wet?"
18248how can you be so suspicious?"
18248how do you get it?"
18248interposed her loquacious cousin,"or would you rather lie down and rest awhile?"
18248she asked wonderingly; and as her cousin shook her head, she asked in a lower tone,"Were you naughty, Cousin Lucy?"
18248she would say,"for she ca n''t hear him, nor save him, can she?
18248that girl we saw in the wood?
16739Seekest thou great things for thyself?
16739Were you at such a place on such a night?
16739Where?
16739Why should I not be here?
16739A common Friendship-- who talks of a_ common_ Friendship?
16739And how did He meet their doubts?
16739And what is the object of connecting man with God?
16739And what was the"burden"?
16739And where is Christ?
16739And who are Christ''s?
16739And why is it greater than charity?
16739And yet have we got them?
16739Are there any arithmetic words in this text?
16739But are we right?
16739But how can we mirror that which we have never seen?
16739But plainly, explicitly, in so many words?
16739By and by the robber captain came and he said:"Boy, what have you got?"
16739Can you tell me anything that is going to last?
16739Character is to wear forever; who will wonder or grudge that it can not be developed in a day?
16739Christ held up this method almost to ridicule when He said,"Which of you by taking thought can add a cubit to his stature?"
16739Did He stop?
16739Did you ever notice how continually John associates love and faith with eternal life?
16739Did you ever stop to ask what a yoke is really for?
16739Did you ever think what he meant by that?
16739Did you ever think why Christ spoke that parable?
16739Do we carry about with us the thought of God wherever we go?
16739Do we have a conviction of God''s abiding presence wherever we are?
16739Do we realize, for instance, that the way of teaching humility is generally by_ humiliation_?
16739Do you know anything better than these three things, anything happier, purer, nobler?
16739Do you sometimes feel yourself thinking unkind things about your fellow- students who have intellectual difficulty?
16739Do you think that if we had gathered together and pushed against the mast we could have pushed it on?
16739Does 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?
16739Every one has asked himself the great question of antiquity as of the modern world: What is the_ summum bonum_--the supreme good?
16739For how, in a literal sense, can Rest be_ given_?
16739For what is their office?
16739Have you done it?
16739Have you ever noticed how much of Christ''s life was spent in doing kind things-- in_ merely_ doing kind things?
16739Have you obeyed this command?
16739He asks,"When?"
16739He looked the boy in the face and said:"Why did you tell me that?
16739How can modern men to- day make Christ, the absent Christ, their most constant companion still?
16739How could it be reflected from there if it were not there?
16739How do I know Shakspere or Dante?
16739How many of you will join me in reading this chapter once a week for the next three months?
16739How many, especially among the young, has this one mistaken phrase driven forever away from the kingdom of God?
16739How then are we to have this transcendent living whole conveyed into our souls?
16739How?
16739I pass, therefore, to the second head; What was it?
16739I wonder why it is that we are not all kinder than we are?
16739If He lives and acts what is He doing?
16739If it were this, how could Paul ask men to reflect it?
16739If not, where is He?
16739If they lose, will you not be sorry that you did not help them?
16739Is God dead?
16739Is corn to grow by method, and character by caprice?
16739Is it because there is some one who loves you, and whom you want to see to- morrow, and be with, and love back?
16739Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it?
16739Is life not full of opportunities for learning Love?
16739Is life not hard and sorrowful enough without being fettered with yet another yoke?
16739Is the infinite task begun?
16739It was full of beautiful thoughts; but when I came to ask myself,"How does he say I can get Rest?"
16739Now we understand it all?
16739Now, how?
16739Now,_ where_ is the Kingdom of God?
16739One of the robbers left the rest and rode toward him, and said:"Boy, what have you got?"
16739Presently another robber came and he said:"Boy, what have you got?"
16739Restlessness has a cause: must not_ Rest_ have a cause?
16739Shall I tell you what the_ cause_ is?
16739Shall a mechanical experiment succeed infallibly, and the one vital experiment of humanity remain a chance?
16739Suppose even_ that_ influence prolonged through a month, a year, a lifetime, and what could not life become?
16739Suppose the attraction of the earth were removed?
16739Suppose 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?
16739The child''s great word when it begins to speak is,"Why?"
16739The 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?''"
16739The wisdom of the ancients, where is it?
16739Then the Christian experiences are our own making?
16739Then you reduce religion to a common Friendship?
16739There is nothing that requires so much to be kept in its place as religion, and its place is what?
16739This mysterious approximating of two souls, who has not witnessed?
16739To see the star with?
16739WHAT ARE THE CHIEF CAUSES OF UNREST?
16739We have got past that physically; have we got past it morally?
16739What comes from the Kingdom of God?
16739What do you think he did?
16739What does that mean?
16739What does the modern Church say to a man who is skeptical?
16739What does this brief account of the origin of doubt teach us?
16739What has been THE CHURCH''S TREATMENT OF DOUBT in the past?
16739What has the boy got in his pocket?
16739What is it made of?
16739What is it?
16739What is that unseen thing?
16739What is that which if duly learned will find the soul of man in Rest?
16739What is the Kingdom of God?
16739What is the connection, then?
16739What is the noblest object of desire, the supreme gift to covet?
16739What is the soldier''s first lesson?
16739What is the use of having faith?
16739What is the verb?
16739What 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?
16739What makes a man a good artist, a good sculptor, a good musician?
16739What makes a man a good cricketer?
16739What makes a man a good linguist, a good stenographer?
16739What makes a man a good man?
16739What mood is it in?
16739What must one work at?
16739What other arithmetic words?
16739What was Christ doing in the carpenter''s shop?
16739What was his first thought at that terrible moment?
16739What was the third head?
16739What, then, is the practical lesson?
16739What, then, is the remedy?
16739When are we to exchange the terrible, far- away, absentee God of our childhood for the everywhere present God of the Bible?
16739When he came quiet near, I said to him:"What are you doing here?"
16739When shall we learn that the pursuit of holiness is simply THE PURSUIT OF CHRIST?
16739When shall we substitute for the"it"of a fictitious aspiration, the approach to a Living Friend?
16739When, how, are we to be different?
16739Whence, then, is joy?
16739Whence, then, these pressures, and where this Potter?
16739Where does Joy come from?
16739Where is the Kingdom of God?
16739Where were all these people yesterday?
16739Where, then, shall one look for such a formula?
16739Who is Christ?
16739Why did He not tell us, for example, how such a thing as Rest might be obtained?
16739Why did it elude them?
16739Why did nothing happen?
16739Why do we want to live to- morrow?
16739Why is Love greater than faith?
16739Why should God have provided that so many hours of every day should be occupied with work?
16739Why stumble at that in the relation of man to Christ which is natural in the relation of man to man?
16739Why, if all this be true, does He call it a_ yoke_?
16739Why, then, did the Great Teacher not educate His followers fully?
16739Why, while professing to give Rest, does He with the next breath whisper"_ burden_"?
16739Why?
16739Will you do it?
16739Will you not do it now?
16739Will you not regret that only at the last you helped the Kingdom of God?
16739Will you observe what its elements are?
16739Would he ever dream of taking His name in vain if he loved him?
16739Would he not be too glad to have one day in seven to dedicate more exclusively to the object of his affection?
16739You could only insult him if you suggested that he should not steal-- how could he steal from those he loved?
16739but"How have I loved?"
16739he replied;"do n''t you know this is British soil?
16739second?
16739third?
4052And is not this threatening, at least in part, already put into execution?
4052And what has been the event?
4052And why is it that others who see all those things, do not take warning by them, to prepare for their own latter end?
4052And will you still persevere in the road of misery?
4052And, When will the sabbath be ended?
4052But how can you reconcile these prohibitions to your conduct; or your consciences?
4052But to whom?
4052Can 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?
4052For should they be found so at last, what will become of you, if you live and die impenitent?
4052For who amongst us can dwell with everlasting burnings?
4052From whence proceed the infidelity, blasphemy, lying, theft, sabbath- breaking, slandering and the many horrid evils, which every where abound?
4052Have not many of you, for the sake, perhaps, of a few shillings, unjustly obtained, plunged yourselves into misery for the remainder of your lives?
4052Hence the thought of many is, What a weariness is it?
4052Is not this the language of your hearts?
4052Is this acting like rational or accountable creatures?
4052My brethren, what shall I say?
4052Now what must be the end of these courses?
4052Shall not I visit for these things, saith the Lord?
4052Such are all his posterity: for who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
4052The great point is, how we shall die?
4052Thus it is said, God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son For what purpose?
4052Was it not God?
4052What would a stranger think, who regards the sabbath, if he visited every part of this colony on the Lord''s day?
4052Whence is it that so many in this colony, labour under such sore and complicated disorders, pains, and miseries?
4052Whence is there so much ignorance and contempt of God?
4052Who gave you the powers of reason and speech?
4052Why are so many, both young and old, taken away by death?
4052Why do mankind so eagerly, so universally pursue the vain pleasures and follies of the world, while they seldom think of God their Maker?
4052Will you not pray to be delivered from it?
4052Will you still prefer the chains of your own depraved inclinations, to the service of God, which is perfect freedom?
44122Have you been to Damascus?
44122Have you passed your whole life right here in Homs?
44122Well, surely you have been to Hamath?
44122But this would cost a considerable sum, and how was that to be raised?
44122I then asked him directly,"Are you not a Moslem?"
44122In the light of this incident, will anyone say that commercial honor is confined to the West?
44122Is it a wonder that I began to gain at once?
44122Is it enough?
44122Shall we wait longer before pressing on in this direction?
44122Should we fall behind the Y.M.C.A.?
44122Suddenly I heard the doctor''s voice behind me saying,"Boy, do you want your eye straightened?"
44122The walls were completed, the roof timbers in place, but where were the tiles?
44122They said,"Do Christian women have any religion?"
44122What plan would be made for the family of growing children?
44122What then was the trouble?
44122When he paused I said to him,"Sir, how is it that you speak so, although you wear the fez?"
44122Which is it to be in Syria?
44122Who can forget his first glimpse of the real Orient, at Port Said?
44122Who would take up the work thus suddenly dropped?
44122Why, then, should our boys go so far from home?
16076To a Preacher,which runs as follows:"In harmony with Nature?
16076While you do not know life,replied he,"how can you know about death?
16076''"[ 19][ Footnote 19:_ Can the Church Survive_?
16076And does Jesus mean very much to us if He is only"Jesus"?
16076And what is it that makes the futility of so much present preaching?
16076And what is the religious consciousness?
16076And why is the reformatory replacing the prison?
16076And, 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?
16076Are we going to be afraid to keep its fires burning?
16076Because He calls us away from ourselves?
16076Because He is something other than us?
16076But can worship be taught?
16076But did that subtle intellect suffice?
16076But does right knowing in itself suffice to insure right doing?
16076But how much has our average non- liturgical service to offer to their critically trained perceptions?
16076But how shall the connection be made?
16076But is this what men have passionately adored in Jesus?
16076But where are we turning for our remedy?
16076But why is the heart subdued, the mind elevated, the will made tractable by Him?
16076By the ancient law that the only effectual appeal is to might and that opportunity therefore justifies the deed?
16076By the humane law, some objective standard of common rights and inclusive justice?
16076By the unwritten law of heaven?
16076By what law, admitting many exceptions, are men on the whole trying to change this situation at once indecent and impious?
16076By what law, depending upon what sort of power, is each seeking its respective ends?
16076By what power can he go through with this experience we have just been relating and find his whole self in a whole world?
16076Can this energy be found without subtracting energy from some other sphere?"
16076Can we afford to do that?
16076Do we dare define it?
16076Does not its_ real politik_ make the philosophical naturalism of Spencer and Haeckel seem like child''s play?
16076Does the world''s sin and pain and weakness come and empty itself into the broad current of these devout lives?
16076First, by which of these three laws of human development, religious, humanistic, naturalistic, has it been largely governed?
16076For between the two, associated capital and associated labor, what is there to choose today?
16076For upon what law, natural, human, divine, has this new empire been founded?
16076For what is a doctrine?
16076For what is a dogma?
16076For what is it that looks out from the eyes of religious humanity?
16076Has it worked to clarify and solidify the essence of the religious position?
16076Has love of Him been self- love?
16076Has 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?
16076Has 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?
16076Has not your school held the civilized world, both old and new alike, in the hollow of their hand for two long generations past?
16076He chafes at the limitations of time and space?
16076How are we, being guilty, to find Him?
16076How can anyone give unity to such a prospect?
16076How can he dare to try it?
16076How can he gain power to achieve it?
16076How can we know the ways of godliness if we take God Himself for granted?
16076How has this renewal of naturalism affected the church and Christian preaching?
16076How is he to bridge the gulf?
16076How shall the unfaith which the mystery, the suffering, the evil of the world induce be overcome?
16076How then shall we become alive again?
16076In what does scientific and emotional naturalism issue, then?
16076In what lies the essence of the leadership of Jesus?
16076Inequality of endowment?
16076Is it any wonder then that we can not compete with the state or the world for the loyalty of men and women?
16076Is it not clear, then, that preaching must deal again, never more indeed than now, with the religion which offers a redemption from sin?
16076Is it not worth while to remember that the great religious leaders have generally ignored contemporary social problems?
16076Is it quite clear that their influence has been so much more potent than the gospel of the various churches?
16076Is it the curate of souls, patient shepherd of the silly sheep?
16076Is it the professional ecclesiastic, backed with the authority and prestige of a venerable organization?
16076Is it the theologian, the administrator, the prophet-- who?
16076Is it to a disinterested and even- handed justice, the high legalism of the Golden Rule, which would be the humanist''s way?
16076Is it to exalt human nature?
16076Is it true that without the loaves and the fishes we can do nothing?
16076Is not the devotee, like the poet or the lover or any other genius, born and not made?
16076Is not this the vision which we need?
16076Is there anything in this world sufficient now for the widow, the orphan, the cripple, the starving, the disillusioned and the desperate?
16076Is this thy body''s end?
16076Is this why He has become the sanctuary of humanity?
16076It pays no attention, except to ridicule them, to the problems that vex high and serious souls: What is right and wrong?
16076Lives that have seemed strong and fair go down every day, do they not, and shock us for a moment with their irremediable catastrophe?
16076Now, if all this is true, what is the religious preaching of Jesus, what aspect of His person meets the spiritual need?
16076Or are we''created''in Him?
16076Or has preaching declined and become neutralized in religious quality under it?
16076Or he whispers,"Whither shall I go from Thy spirit, Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
16076Or is it to the old law of aggression and might transferring the gain thereof from the present exploiters to the recently exploited?
16076Our immediate question is, Who, on the whole, is the most needed figure in the ministry today?
16076Rebellion, pride?
16076Secondly, by what law are men now attempting to solve its present difficulties?
16076Shall we ever reach His level, become as divine as He, or does He have part in the absolute and infinite?
16076Shall worms, inheritors of this excess, Eat up thy charge?
16076So he cries,"Wretched man that I am, what shall I do to be saved?"
16076So what is the religious passion?
16076Sometimes we are constrained to ask ourselves, How can the heart of man go so undismayed through the waste places of the world?
16076The law of humanism, of Confucius and Buddha and Epictetus and Aurelius?
16076The law of humanism?
16076The law of naked individualism; of might; force; cunning?
16076The law of the jungle?
16076The unwritten law of heaven?
16076The unwritten law of heaven?
16076Then comes the final question: How are we, being helpless, to reach Him?
16076They know well that Nature does not exist by our law; that we neither control nor understand it; is it not our friend?
16076To borrow the expressive language of Paul, was He''created''in us?
16076We need not ask with Faust,"Where is that place which men call''Hell''?"
16076What Europe wants to know is why and for what purpose this holocaust-- is there anything beyond, was there anything before it?
16076What are we reading in the public prints and hearing from platform and stage?
16076What can we do, then, better for an age of paganism than to cultivate this transcendent consciousness?
16076What gives us the key to her dualism?
16076What has the one to do with the other?
16076What is He like?
16076What is His power to lift and how long may it last?
16076What is holy and what is profane?
16076What is the code that made the deadly rivalry of mounting armaments between army and army, navy and navy, of the Europe before 1914?
16076What is the end for us?
16076What is the real nature of its resources?
16076What is the religious law, then?
16076What is the use of preaching social service to the almost total neglect of setting forth the intellectual and emotional concept of the servant?
16076What is ugly and beautiful?
16076What justifies a pseudo- civilization which permits such tragic inequality of fortune?
16076What justifies it, then?
16076What law produced and justifies such a society?
16076What men are chiefly asking of life at this moment is not, What ought we to do?
16076What shall enable us to do that mystic thing, come back to God?
16076What the real nature of its remedies?
16076What was the worst thing about the war?
16076What, as President Tucker asks, is this power which shall make"maybe"into"is"for us?
16076What, then, has been the final effect of humanism upon preaching?
16076What, then, has humanism done to preaching?
16076When shall I come and appear before God?"
16076Who can forget Othello''s soliloquy as he prepares to darken his marriage chamber before the murder of his wife?
16076Who could state the mingling of desire and dread with which men strive after, and hide from, such a God?
16076Who does not love to lie, in those slow- waning days upon the sands which hold within their golden cup the murmuring and dreaming sea?
16076Who else, indeed, has the words of Eternal Life?
16076Who need be surprised at the restlessness, the fluidity, the elusiveness of the Protestant laity?
16076Who would deny that the revival of intellectual authority and leadership in matters of religion is terribly needed in our day?
16076Whoever needed to explain to a company of grown men and women what the cry of the soul for its release from passion is?
16076Why are we surprised that the world is passing us by?
16076Why do we answer the great invitation,"Come unto me"?
16076Why do we think that there is Something which perpetually beckons to us through her, makes awful signs of an intimate and significant relationship?
16076Why keep on insisting upon being good if our hearers have never been carefully instructed in the nature and the sanctions of goodness?
16076Why so large cost, having so short a lease, Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend?
16076Why this ever failing, but never ending struggle against unseen odds to grasp and understand and live with the Divine?
16076back to home?
16076but the deeper question, What is there we can believe?
16076could 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?''
35811O thou that lovest, wouldst thou know The path wherein thy feet should go?
35811Thou hast betrothed me to Thyself; how could I be lost? 35811 What dost thou bring me, O my Queen?
35811Where is thy patience, O My Queen? 35811 Why do ye not understand My speech?
35811Will 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?
35811And when the sisters who were with her said in wonderment,"Would you not be afraid to die without the sacrament?"
35811But Thou art great, and we are small, how then can we receive that which Thou givest?
35811But how can it be that Thou shouldst build a golden house, the house of Thy dwelling place, in a miry pool?''
35811But 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?
35811But 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?
35811But whence did Eckhart derive his expressions which reappear in Dante?
35811Can the Son of God not comfort thee?
35811Can the hand that has wounded heal?
35811Can we say that in the nineteenth century it is otherwise?
35811Can"religion"love us?
35811Could you be so uncourteous to Him, as to refuse Him one hour a day in return for these thirty years?
35811Did Dante know it as the Béguine knew it?
35811Did 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?
35811Did they not often mistake for His voice the imaginations of their own hearts?
35811For 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?
35811How are we to do this?
35811How did Matilda die?
35811How much power does the spirit of unbelief, of lukewarmness, of corrupted Christianity, exercise upon us?
35811How, 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?
35811I said to him,"Good man, what is it you are lifting?"
35811In how many words could that be taught us which we learn from the one expression,"The Lamb of God"?
35811Is there nothing believed and taught amongst us which blinds the eyes of lost and helpless sinners to their need of a Saviour?
35811O Bride, the saints in glory shine, Can they not fill that heart of thine?
35811O blessed Love, who are they who know thee?
35811Or slay, if no balm there be?
35811Should she not rejoice and sing?
35811Soul, couldst thou abide for an hour alone In the burning fire around His throne?"
35811The nightingale she can but sing, For she is made of love''s delight, Of love bereft, what else were left Than death and night?
35811Then spake the Host--"What need hast thou, That thou dost thus implore?"
35811Then speaketh He and saith,"Beloved one, What would''st thou?
35811This wide, wide world, so rich and fair, Thou sure canst find thy solace there?
35811Thou 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?"
35811To 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?"
35811Was 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?
35811Whence came I here?
35811Where art Thou, then, Belovèd?
35811Where wilt thou find that ointment rare, O My belovèd one?
35811Why so?
35811Why so?
35811Wilt thou die for Him who died?
35811Wilt thou render Him love for His loving?
35811Wilt 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?
35811nothing which blinds the guilty to their need of the Atoning Blood?
47829Can you read, Joe?
47829A 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?"
47829After years of servitude shall we turn our backs upon glorious privileges that are now within our reach?
47829General discussions were also participated in on Prizes, Moral Instruction in Schools, and"What''s the use of Schools?"
47829How can we consistently refuse to welcome these others, who are patient, industrious and frugal?
47829Is not the babe a blessing to the household?
47829Need a missionary in Africa practice more self- denial than this exceedingly neat and delicate girl in Georgia?
41993And 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?
41993But have they nothing to do?
41993But in what does the sanctification of the Lord''s day chiefly consist?
41993But may I not safely say, that the more nearly it is observed, the more profitably the day may be spent?
41993Can a man rob God and prosper?
41993Can 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?
41993Do not many Christian families pay social visits on the Sabbath?
41993Do we find it difficult to rise as early on that day as during the week, that with the morning we may commence our duties?
41993Have persons who labour in our families for hire, no need of one day of rest in seven?
41993Have they no Bible to read?
41993Here it is, that our consciences most closely press us with the important question, What must I do to work the works of God?
41993How many such visits are made profitable?
41993How then shall we determine when it is right, and when wrong, to visit on the Sabbath?
41993In cases of difficulty, how shall we determine what is right?
41993In 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?
41993In whose family does not the conversation become worldly and of little worth?
41993Is 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?
41993Is meditation, and is prayer the duty of those only who are privileged with attending public worship?
41993Is 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?
41993Is this the way, that, above all, I would recommend to persons seriously asking, How may I most profitably spend the Sabbath day?
41993No Catechism, that may be most conveniently committed to memory by them when left alone?
41993No Scripture lessons to prepare for Sabbath School?
41993Shall I gain spiritual strength by doing so?
41993The difficulty with us all, of answering such questions without confusion, ought to lead us to ask, Is there not something wrong in such visits?
41993We are not to ask, What is fashionable?
41993What must I do, in the observance of the Sabbath,_ to promote the glory of God_?
41993What rule can we lay down?
41993What shall we say of those whose lot it may be to remain at home part of the day?
41993What was the heritage of Jacob?
41993Will my example be happy in its influence upon my children and others?
41993Would we do good both to ourselves and others?
42164And what becomes of the water, as the Dead Sea has no outlet?
42164Forward 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?
42164There 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?"
42164And are we not reminded by divers tokens for good that light is advancing?
42164And may we not accept as true the words of the poet:''Upon the great dial- plate of ages The light advanced no more recedes''?
42164As he listened to its contents at the end of his journey he made the significant remark,"Is that all there is in it?"
42164Did ever two more worthy the name go out to fulfil the duties belonging to that title?
42164Does the improvement correspond to the outlay and effort?"
42164How long, O Lord, ere thou takest unto thyself the great power and reignest?
42164In the course of the evening our kind hostess inquired if we would like water for our feet?
42164Liberia seems to press upon my mind, but can all this be called for at such weak hands?
42164Nay, Thy power and might, as ever, all omnipotent shall be:''Rock of Ages,''what can move me if I lean my soul on Thee?"
42164Penn asked,"How shall I know that a man does not obtrude his own sense upon us as the infallible Spirit?"
42164Such thrilling raptures_ this_ impart With_ love my bosom_ warm?
42164Sybil Jones said,"I hope thou art seeking a crown in that higher warfare?"
42164The questions are often asked,"Is the gain worth the cost?
42164What tongue can tell my soul''s anguish as the tears flowed fast from each child''s almost bursting heart?
42164Who can calculate the amount of good that one such life of dedication and devotion has accomplished?
42164Who, indeed, can know the agony of my spirit, save"He who rolls the planets in their spheres And counts the lowly mourner''s tears?"
42164and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?"
42164he exclaimed,''is this the way you honor your prophet?
42164shall a face, then, win my heart, Mere symmetry of form?
33998But how long do you think He will be there?
33998Do you,he cried,"who have been guilty of shedding innocent blood, dare to enter the sanctuary?"
33998How long do you intend to remain within the Church?
33998Tell 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?"
33998Where did that hymn come from?
33998Why?
33998''Is it so?''
33998A Tribute to the Dying Saviour Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended, That man to judge Thee hast in hate pretended?
33998After a while the dean asked,"What have you written?"
33998And how can we ever be sufficiently grateful for the tune called"Toplady,"which has endeared"Rock of Ages"to millions of hearts?
33998And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
33998And who has not been stirred by the challenge in"Am I a soldier of the cross?"
33998Another very famous translation from the Greek by Neale is the hymn: Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distressed?
33998Ask ye who this may be?
33998Beneath the famous picture were inscribed the words: This have I done for thee; What hast thou done for Me?
33998Can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell?
33998Equal to the Father now, Though to dust Thou once didst bow, Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see?
33998Famished souls who seek salvation, Have ye heard the loving call?
33998He said to me one day,''Why do you not write us a missionary hymn?''
33998Her fidelity to Scriptural language may be seen in the following simple verses: Have ye heard the invitation, Sinners ruined by the fall?
33998I gave My life for thee: What hast thou given for Me?
33998I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter''s power?
33998If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay?
33998If you want anything, why do n''t you come in and ask for it?"
33998In 1810 he preached his famous probation sermon on the striking theme,"Why has the Word of God departed from His house?"
33998Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share?
33998It is a wise saying; for who can estimate the influence of the songs we sing, especially the songs of children?
33998James Montgomery, 1818 THE HYMN LEGACY OF AN ENGLISH EDITOR Shortly before James Montgomery died, a friend asked him,"Which of your poems will live?"
33998Martin Luther, 1527?
33998My sins are great, where shall I flee?
33998O Jesus, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low,"I died for you, My children, And will ye treat Me so?"
33998O where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing, What must the Source be whence it comes, the Giver?
33998O ye chosen, have ye slighted This sweet call to you proclaimed?
33998One 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?
33998One of them, however, bearing the name of"Chelsea,"has yielded the famous hymn,"O where are kings and empires now?"
33998She 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?"
33998Shortly before the end came he cried to the friends who were gathered about him,"Sing, sing, can you not sing?"
33998The lords song sing can wee?
33998Then 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?"
33998There is scarcely a hymn- book of any communion today that does not contain,"Who are these, like stars appearing?"
33998What though my flesh and heart decay?
33998When shall his message come With friendly smiles to steal my breath And take an exile home?
33998Where is death''s sting?
33998Who Thy mighty depths can measure?
33998Who brought this upon Thee?
33998Who can sound, with earthly line, Thy profundity of treasure, Thy infinity divine?
33998Who has not been moved to the depths of his soul by the inspiring words and resounding music of this unusual hymn?
33998Who has not found inspiration in singing that sweet and haunting melody known as"Ortonville"?
33998Who is it that brings to the wounded and sore The balm that can heal and relieve?
33998Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
33998Who otherwise would have thought of songs for Chautauqua and called upon a poet to write them?
33998Who was the guilty?
33998and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
33998and how shall they hear without a preacher?
33998how can it be So few bestow a thought on Thee, Or on the love, so wondrous great, That drew Thee down to our estate?
33998shall I not hear?"
33998shall the old African blasphemer stop while he can speak?"
33998where, grave, thy victory?
41994Can you attain it? 41994 And if the last question comes to search the heart--Are you willing for it?"
41994And that not according to the earthly standard of value, where the question always is, How much?
41994And then the question came,"_ White as snow_, can you attain that?--can you make yourself that?"
41994And what does that spirit suggest?
41994And what was it that led Ananias to this sin?
41994And what was the sin?
41994And when a man gives, the world still asks,_ what_ does he give?
41994And, again, he was asked,"Are you willing that I should do it?"
41994Are there not many who say they have given their all to God, and yet prove false to it in the use of their money?
41994As he thought, it was as if one said to him,"_ White as snow_, do you know what that is?"
41994But if our Lord wanted us to do as she did, why did He not leave a clear command?
41994Christ asks, how does he give?
41994Christ,_ how_ does he use it?
41994Corinthians, 8, 9._"THROUGH HIS POVERTY": what does that mean?
41994Has the Church been faithful to this truth in her solemn protest against the claims of wealth?
41994How are we to know what our calling is?
41994In other words, is the poverty of Jesus something for Him alone, or something in which His disciples are to share?
41994Instead of the question, How far am I, as a Christian, free still to do this or the other?
41994Is 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?
41994That He dispossessed Himself of all heavenly and earthly possessions that the riches of earth and heaven might be ours?
41994The heavenly poverty of Jesus Christ-- do you know what it is?
41994The world asks,_ what_ does a man own?
41994What can have made the gift such a crime?
41994What it is in Him, in His disciples and in Paul, in His saints in later days?
41994What it would be in you?
41994Where had they learned this?
41994the truly free spirit asks, How far am I free to follow Christ to the uttermost?
37734;( 2)Who is an Apostate?
37734Do the Jews use Christian Blood?
37734What do you mean by the religion of our fathers?
37734When 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?
37734Can a nation that has made the gigantic mistake of accepting twenty- four false Messiahs claim to be infallible in rejecting a twenty- fifth?
37734Could this be from one of whom it was said only two years before,"She is an out- and- out Jewess?"
37734Did he not wish that all Israel were prophets?
37734Dr. Cassel''s death took place, after great sufferings, on December 23rd, 1893, his last words being,"Wo ist denn das Himmelreich?"
37734During 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(?)
37734For whom then?
37734Has he not made Israel the most known people?
37734Have you at all thought of your own brethren who live in your own neighbourhood without the light of the Gospel?"
37734He divided his discourse into four points, including the following questions and answers: I.--Is Jewish mission work necessary?
37734How did He lead me?
37734I am going to heaven, and may I not hope to meet you there?
37734I could only say to myself, Where is the atonement for sin?
37734II.--How shall they be converted?
37734III.--How shall these missionaries carry on their work?
37734IV.--How are the converts to be treated?
37734If Christ has done away with the law of Moses, how can He be the Messiah?''
37734Is that to be wondered at?
37734Jeremiah says:''Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
37734Long after, when he had learned to speak English with ease, we asked:"Why did your parents burden you with such a number of names?"
37734Neander''s work is like a broken column, and yet who shall say it had been better otherwise?
37734On the other hand, the question often worried me; Why does not God answer such real and fervent prayers?
37734On this occasion he wrote:"A Word to my People,"afterwards"The Star of Jacob,""Kol nidre night,""Is there no Physician there?"
37734Should I not be a thousand times happier if I were one of the lower animals?
37734Since 1882 I have been enabled, like Saul of Tarsus, to cry,''Lord what wilt Thou have me to do?''
37734The following are some of Saphir''s works:( 1)"Who is a Jew?
37734The following is the language of one who took a leading part in laying one stone upon another: What is Babel?
37734To my question,''What shall I do then?''
37734Turning to the lady who had introduced us, she angrily said,''I thought you told me they were Israelites?''
37734What if his followers did persecute Israel?
37734What if the Christians are right?
37734What right has the Jew to reject Jesus?
37734Whence could this strong conviction arise?
37734Why did he not help you himself?"
37734Why does not the Messiah come to release His people?
37734Why not let every one remain in the religion in which they were born?
37734Why was I created a man?
37734Will the Lord accept one who comes to Him at the last hour, even though he approaches His Throne without the sacrament of baptism?"
37734With much kindness he enquired,"What is it, my dear?"
37734You 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?
4544Wouldest thou behold Christ transfigured?
45448:"Whether thow shalt be oure kyng, oither we shal be undirloute to thi bidding?"
4544And for this bitterness I clepe the spirit of malice, of wrath, and of wickedness the worst spirit of them all; and why?
4544And, therefore, what is more healfull[110] than the sweetness of this sight, or what softer thing may be felt?
4544But what fruit may she bear, ought but that she learn to live temperately in easy things, and patiently in uneasy things?
4544But what maketh it matter[303] who speaketh, when it is all one and the same thing that is spoken?
4544Could Aristotle, could Plato, could the great band of philosophers ever attain to it?
4544For what reaveth from a soul[196] more readily the affection of sinning, than doth a true working of dread of death?
4544Is it not enough to thee, trowest thou not, that thou art escaped by the mercy of our Lord from everlasting damnation?
4544Thus I trow that saint Paul felt, when he said this word of great desire:"Who shall deliver me from this deadly body?
4544What helpeth to know the person of him that speaketh, when it is siker and certain that all is evil and perilous that is spoken?
4544What supposest thou of thyself, wretched sinner?
4544What, then, is the death of Rachel, save the failing of reason?
4544Whether hast thou chosen to serve our Lord only for the comfort that thou mayst have of Him in this life?
4544Why 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?
17075All the words?
17075If God be with us,saith St. Paul,"who can stand against us?"
17075What gay thing may that be?
17075What? 17075 Why, wife,"quoth her husband,"what would you do?"
17075A prisoner, because he is kept for execution?
17075ANTHONY: Have you never dreamed ere this that you have done the same?
17075ANTHONY: How happed it?
17075ANTHONY: Is he no minstrel, cousin, who playeth not on a harp?
17075ANTHONY: Long after?
17075ANTHONY: No, none at all?
17075ANTHONY: Not any man, cousin?
17075ANTHONY: Well, then, if the great Turk give you your goods, can there then in all your life none other take them from you again?
17075ANTHONY: What if a man should ask you how long?
17075ANTHONY: Who think themselves wise?
17075ANTHONY: Who?
17075ANTHONY: Why, what said he, cousin?
17075Alas, poor souls, what cause is there to envy them who are ever wealthy in this world, and ever out of tribulation?
17075And 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?
17075And 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?
17075And is it wisdom, then, to think so much upon the Turks that we forget the devil?
17075And she all berated him, and asked him,"What will you do, that you will not put yourself forth as other folk do?
17075And should we, then, shrink to suffer as much for eternal honour in heaven and everlasting glory?
17075And then what careth he for those words that he knoweth well he shall never hear?
17075And then what persecutor can there be, so strong as to take it out of his hand?
17075And then what weapon of the devil may give us any deadly wound, while that impenetrable shield of the shoulder of God standeth always between?
17075And then, if he dwell with us, what trouble can do us harm?
17075And what difference, then, as to the stopping of the breath, whether they were shut up within or without?
17075And what fancies, think you?
17075And what manner of shameful shame shall that be, then?
17075And what was the way by which he walked into heaven?
17075And when a man so doth, cousin, is this no tribulation to him because he doth it himself?
17075And who could live by the tailor''s craft, if no man were able to have a gown made?
17075And would he not be a very fool if, for a wealth of a few weeks, he would think himself far his better?
17075And would we who are servants look for more privilege in our master''s house than our master himself?
17075Are you then sure enough to retain all your substance still?
17075Between Christ and Belial?"
17075But 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?"
17075But as it may be"perhaps yea,"so may it be"perhaps nay,"and where is he then?
17075But be it now that he could never lose it; could none take your substance from you then?
17075But did he tell them too where they should have hid it, to make it sure?
17075But now, cousin, against these terrible things, what way shall we take in giving men counsel of comfort?
17075But 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?
17075But she so much misliked this continual discomfortable fashion of hers that she would sometimes say,"Eh, what aileth this girl?
17075But 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?
17075But was that great prelate''s oration, cousin, at all praiseworthy?
17075But what, saith he, shall follow thereof?
17075But why should I need in this matter to lay forth one place or twain?
17075Can a man, uncle, have in such a thing even a very sure knowledge of his own mind?
17075Can you burn out half a short candle, and then have a long one left of the rest?
17075For he saith,"What availeth it a man if he won all the whole world, and lost his soul?"
17075For how can that death be shameful that is glorious?
17075For how can you prove to me that you are awake?
17075For how many hath now this great Turk?
17075For how should you then rather lose your goods than forsake your faith, if you have lost your faith and let it go already?
17075For how would it be possible, since almost every one of them would, if he could, be lord over all the rest?
17075For 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?
17075For 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?
17075For what free man is there so free that he can be suffered to do what he please?
17075Goeth everything evermore as every one of them would have it?
17075He that hath all this favour, or he that is thus hardly handled?
17075How many get out of prison who happen outside on such harm as the prison would have kept them from?
17075How many men attain health of body for whom it would be better, for their soul''s health, that their bodies were sick still?
17075How many who have been loth to lose their worldly goods have, in keeping of their goods, soon afterward lost their life?
17075Howbeit, they seem yet somewhat the more-- what say I,"somewhat"?
17075If it must then be gotten with running, when shall he come at it who lifteth not one step toward it?
17075If 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?
17075If 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?
17075Is this any sophistry first, or not?
17075Is this, cousin, a fond imagined fancy, or is it very truth indeed?
17075Is this, think you, cousin, verily thus or not?
17075Maketh no man melody but he who playeth on a lute?
17075No 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?
17075Not God?
17075Now, Cousin Vincent, what would you call this man?
17075Or 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?
17075Or no prisoner, because he is in the meanwhile so favourably handled and suffered to do all that he would, save escape?
17075Or what excuse can we have by the tenderness of our flesh?
17075Or what good hath the glory of our riches done unto us?
17075Or who would have thought that in giving comfort to them they would use the way that I may well use to you?
17075They called her Mother Maud-- I daresay you have heard of her?
17075Think 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?
17075Though he recovered Loth again from the three kings, was his capture no trouble to him, think you, in the meanwhile?
17075VINCENT: Ah, well, uncle, can you report her so?
17075VINCENT: God?
17075VINCENT: How happed it, uncle, that that good law was left unmade?
17075VINCENT: How long?
17075VINCENT: I pray you, uncle, what advice would be to be given him in such a case?
17075VINCENT: I pray you, what was that, good uncle?
17075VINCENT: Marry, lo, do I not now wag my hand, shake my head, and stamp with my foot here on the floor?
17075VINCENT: Now, if a man so found it, uncle, what counsel should he give him then?
17075VINCENT: This man, quoth he?
17075VINCENT: Three thousand, uncle?
17075VINCENT: What causes, good uncle, are those?
17075VINCENT: What is that, uncle?
17075VINCENT: What one man, uncle?
17075VINCENT: What strange state was that, uncle?
17075VINCENT: 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?
17075VINCENT: What thing may that be, uncle?
17075VINCENT: Why, where should they hide it, then, said he?
17075Was it no trouble, that his cousin Loth and himself were fain to part company, because their servants could not agree together?
17075Was the destruction of the five cities no heaviness to his heart?
17075What 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?
17075What became, uncle, of the man?
17075What continual grief was it to his heart, many a long day, that he had no child begotten of his own body?
17075What may a man lose in them, and thereby what pain may he suffer?
17075What the devil should she be the better then?
17075What wit have we poor fools to know what will serve us?
17075Whereto tendeth this threat of the wise man, that he who delighteth in wealth shall fall into woe?
17075Who can for very shame desire to enter into the kingdom of Christ with ease, when he himself entered not into his own without pain?
17075Who could live by masonry, or who could live a carpenter, if no man were able to build either church or house?
17075Who doubteth of that?
17075Who dwelleth, now, good cousin, in the help of the high God?
17075Who owned your village, cousin, three thousand years ago?
17075Who 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?
17075Who would be the makers of any manner of cloth, if there lacked men of substance to set sundry sorts to work?
17075Who would dare, good cousin, for shame or for sin, for himself or any other man, to make this kind of prayer?
17075Why should a man greatly rejoice in that which he daily seeth most abound in the hands of many who are wicked?
17075Will you sit by the fire and make goslings in the ashes with a stick, as children do?
17075Would her mistress, think you, be likely to be content with this condition?
17075Would we get into his kingdom with ease, when he himself got not into his own but by pain?
17075XXV 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?
17075Yea, or in one day or one hour, either?
23096And you believe in God, do you?
23096But_ when_?
23096By whose authority?
23096If God be for us who can be against us?
23096Is Jesus divine?
23096Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
23096Then 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?"
23096What have they seen in thy house?
23096Why 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?
23096After 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?"
23096And so for those of us whose lives have been such a struggle we cry,"Is there no deliverance?"
23096And then the question came to him as from God,"What do you believe?"
23096And they said, What is that to us?
23096Are there not hundreds and thousands of other men waiting, as the chief justice waited, for some one to speak or write?
23096As 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?"
23096At the day of Pentecost people were saying,"What do these things mean?"
23096But how about the sins of the past?
23096But on the other hand, what if we should simply be faithful?
23096But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
23096But"Is there no deliverance that is complete?"
23096Could anything be more inspiring than to know that we have the approval of the Holy Ghost of the things we say or think?
23096Did n''t you notice a fresh little grave near the one with the stone?
23096Do I know when I was converted?
23096Do you reject hell, because it seems to you to be inconceivable?
23096Do 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?
23096Does your life parallel God''s law or cross it?
23096Finally they met, and the infidel with a sneer said,"So you believe the Bible, do you?"
23096For 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?"
23096For this day we hope and pray and cry aloud,"O Lord, how long, how long?"
23096For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?
23096God 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''?"
23096Has he not said,"Ye shall receive power"?
23096Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
23096Have we failed to take both?
23096Have you ever seen a perfect rainbow-- that is, a rainbow in a perfect circle?
23096Have you ever stopped to think what is really associated with the full acceptance of the third Person of the Trinity?
23096He granted Saul of Tarsus a vision of himself as he approached Damascus until he cried,"Who art thou?"
23096He then lying on Jesus''breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
23096How about your living?
23096How about your testimony?
23096How could we expect them to have the same experience in coming to Christ?
23096How may I be converted?
23096How may I know certainly?
23096How may we know that he is striving?
23096How may we know that the Bible is the word of God?
23096How may we secure such a possession?
23096How then ought we to live?
23096How wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
23096I The natural question that comes to every student of the life of Judas must be,"Why was he chosen?"
23096I What is conversion?
23096I What is the striving of the Spirit?
23096I ask you the question, Do you believe in heaven as a place of rewards?
23096I doubt not the question has often come to us,"How can God be just and be the justifier of them that believe?"
23096I found myself becoming unscrupulous in my business life and now I am wrecked, certainly for time-- oh,"said he,"can it be for eternity?
23096I looked the other day into the face of a man who said to me,"Do you know me?"
23096II Have you really taken all that God meant you should have?
23096II How may I be converted?
23096II Why are we not having revelations to- day as we know they have been given at other times?
23096III Did you ever realize that you were standing in the way of the conversion of your friends?
23096III Do you know when you were converted?
23096III Oh, is there no hope?
23096III What would be the consequences of the Spirit ceasing his work?
23096IV How may we know that we have passed from death into life?
23096IV Why should he cease his striving?
23096If 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?
23096If this is true then what is consecration?
23096In the twenty- first chapter of John the fifth and sixth verses we read,"Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat?
23096Is it not like this with our sins?
23096Is not this written in the book of Jasher?
23096Is such a deliverance as this from individual sins possible?
23096It is indeed a black picture, and with whitened faces and rapidly beating hearts we ask, Is there any hope?
23096It is not giving God something, for how could we give him that which is already his own?
23096It is true that we shall go on from light into darkness, from morning into the night, but is there no final deliverance?
23096It may be that some will say,"Why insist upon conversion when my life is a moral one?"
23096Just what is the burden of this prayer of Paul''s?
23096Man tells the depraved man to change his surroundings; but how about the heart that is unclean?
23096Man 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?
23096Napoleon once was asked,"What is the greatest need of the French nation?"
23096Oh, if it be true that the_ way_ of the transgressor is hard, in the name of God what shall we say of the end?
23096Oh, may I say that it is a great sin to be untrue?
23096One man called my attention to it and said,"It is amusing, is n''t it?"
23096Second: Just what, therefore, is this work of sanctification?
23096THE MORNING BREAKETH TEXT:"_ Watchman, what of the night?

23096The great temperance leader went to speak to him and said"Edward, why do n''t you pray?"
23096The old minister looked at him and said simply,"Well, is that anything to be proud of?"
23096The rest of the verse is a question,"God that justifieth?"
23096The thirty- fourth verse reads,"Who is he that condemneth?"
23096The words"unto them"are in italics, so not in the original, and we ask"added to what?"
23096Then said I, O my Lord, what are these?
23096Then the question for the moralist is this,"Have you ever offended in one point?"
23096Then why not now?
23096They spent the night in the kirk in prayer, when the minister said,"Why not ask God to restore his body?"
23096This appealed to the dying man and he said,"Where shall I read?"
23096V But what must I do to take advantage of all this gracious offer of God?
23096V What is meant by the Spirit not striving?
23096V"_ And the host ran, and cried and fled._"What hosts are against us to- day?

23096Watts[ Transcriber''s note: Watt?]
23096What hope is there for the moralist when Jesus said,"Except ye be converted"?
23096What 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?
23096What if I had said,"I will decorate the well house that I may change the water?"
23096What if he had hidden behind some great rock and simply waited?
23096What 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?
23096What if instead of going out to the scene of his disgraceful death he had waited until after Jesus had risen?
23096What is it, therefore?
23096What should he do with it?
23096When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman?
23096When the minister said to the old sea captain,"Why do you do this?
23096Who ever heard of a boy growing in this way?
23096Who ever heard of a doctor who had a prescription for growth?
23096Who knows but one could speak and the other could sing?
23096Who was that Robert?
23096Who, then, would be without it?
23096Why have we not this power of his?
23096Why is not some one in our own land especially working out some of the great plans and purposes of God?
23096Why should God continue when we only spurn his offers of mercy?
23096Why take such a risk?"
23096Will you not come while he calls to- day?
23096With such a work as this, who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect?
23096Would God that justifieth do it, or Christ that died consent to it?
23096and he said,"Yes, sir; do you?"
23096and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
23096and in thy name have cast out Devils?
23096and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?

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?"
16763And 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?''
16763But,said Yuan Ki,"the teacher-- how did he die?"
16763Come back?
16763Engine trouble? 16763 Find all that in the Bible?"
16763How can a fellow question Jesus in these days, like the Pharisees?
16763How many barley cakes have you, son?
16763How much are they worth?
16763How much are they worth?
16763It is all right,said the superintendent,"we''re glad to pay it, but would you mind telling me what the fifty cents is for?"
16763Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
16763Oh, how much for the whole bunch?
16763Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
16763What lack I yet?
16763What''s the matter,I said,"why do n''t you unwrap your line and fish?"
16763Who art thou, Lord?
16763You are beaten to earth? 16763 Almost had actually_ run_ to meet Jesus, to ask Him that question,What lack I yet?"
16763Am I downhearted because I have been mistreated?
16763Am I feeling that I can not hold out in this Christian program?
16763Am I feeling that I''d like to"get even"with somebody and redress a wrong?
16763And do you suppose the final publicity is what rewards this doctor?
16763And how to be ready?
16763And this boy''s first thought, naturally, was:"Then, what will I do?
16763And what did He do?
16763And what did our Lord teach in that graphic story?
16763And what is God''s Word telling us about it to- day?
16763And when is He coming, fellows?
16763And whom will you choose to help, and why?
16763And why not?
16763And yet, do you know that people are just as foolish to- day?
16763Are we worthy of it?
16763Are you ready, fellows?
16763Are you sure you are Right?
16763Barnabas wants to take him and Paul wants to leave him-- and why?
16763Bless your life, fellows, do you know what his lord would have said to that man?
16763But what matters how good God is and how plain His warnings if we go right on in the wrong direction?
16763But, 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?
16763Can you say that about any other game?
16763Chafe over the interruption and delay?
16763Did you notice how Jesus handled him?
16763Directly Bob came round the corner, kind of sheepish like, and what do you suppose he did?

16763Editor of"The Christian Union Quarterly"If Not a United Church-- What?
16763Ever see anything like that?
16763Fellows, I had rather PULL with Christ than DRIFT with the devil, would n''t you?
16763Fellows, are you building anything these days?
16763Fellows, can you imagine how we felt?
16763Fellows, what are you going to be worth-- to God, and to your fellow- man?
16763Foolish?
16763Foolish?
16763Had you thought of it, fellows, that every Christian is challenged and commissioned to do a big, hard task for Jesus?
16763Had_ I_ ever"drowned"in shallow water?
16763Hard luck, was n''t it?
16763He gets on my nerve-- and do you know why, fellows?
16763He knows Mark made a mistake back there in Pamphylia, but who does not make a slip sometime?
16763He said,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to_ live and do_?"
16763He turned to Philip and said:"Where shall we get food for them?"
16763Honest now, is n''t that so?
16763How do we discharge that trust?
16763How to know your task?
16763How would we get on without the telephone?
16763I say, can you see the king now?
16763I think, fellows, if you should give your life to save another, you would not like that one to forget all about it, would you?
16763Is n''t that fine?
16763Is there any boy who does not have a motor in his mind?
16763It was a wonderful test of my control, and I shall present it to the Lord--"And what did Jesus say?
16763It was going some, was n''t it?
16763It was playing the game of kindness to win, was n''t it?
16763Listen 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?
16763Make good?
16763Need any help?"
16763Now there is a paradox, and it seems quite puzzling, does n''t it?
16763Now 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?
16763Now what do you think of anybody who could despise work?
16763Now, 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?"
16763Now, fellows, watch-- What?--a triple play at a world series and twenty thousand fans leaping and yelling like mad?
16763Now, fellows, which of these two was wise?
16763Now, what do you know about that, fellows?
16763Or are you just blazing away at something because you have warm red blood and all the zeal and purpose of youth?
16763Or 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?
16763Or, is there a better way I should try?
16763Peter said:"Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
16763Say, fellows, have you ever thought what a fight you could put up if you were invisible?
16763Scared to death, do n''t you think?
16763Scared?
16763Should I run the risk of"butting in,"and warn him?
16763Should they give it up?
16763Should they sit down and sulk?
16763Some, hearing the call, are answering,"But how do I know I will succeed in that sort of business?
16763Suppose I did not and he should begin to sink, could I jump in that fifteen- foot water with my clothes on and save him?
16763Take it?
16763That was the recognition, but what had preceded?
16763The Pharisee asked Jesus,"Who is my neighbour?"
16763Then, what happened?
16763There he had to remain nine months before he resumed his voyage; but what did he do?
16763They do not look very restful, do they?
16763Want to take a look at Bob now?
16763Was it when you waded into a big bully who was licking your little brother, and took the drubbing yourself?
16763We like it, do n''t we?
16763Well, fellows, that is what you cost; are you worth it?
16763Well, well, what''s that?
16763Well, what do you think of that?
16763What are you choosing as the object of your loyalty?
16763What could it mean?
16763What 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?
16763What happened to Mark?
16763What is happening?
16763What must have been their feelings, I say, fellows, when suddenly He appeared before them_ alive_ and_ well_ and_ speaking_?
16763What thing in my life would you warn me against, or what thing should I do which I am not doing?
16763What was the use?
16763What were some of the qualities in David which merited a crowning on that great day?
16763Which would you rather be?
16763Who could do it so wisely?
16763Who would think of a yoke in connection with rest?
16763Will I be contented in such work?
16763Will it cost you anything to obey?
16763Will it keep me in a comfortable living?
16763Will it pay?
16763Will men come when I tell them?"
16763Win what?
16763With all the earnestness of your soul, ask Him,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
16763Work?
16763Would the little car rattle past with its damaged fender?
16763Yes, he was breathing, but so near dead he probably would not last long, so why worry?
16763Yet who can say that had Edison not been born none would have discovered the incandescent lamp?
16763Yet who can say that no man would have discovered and harnessed this giant to serve mankind if James Watt had not seen the light of day?
16763Yet who can say that no one would have invented the telephone if Alexander Graham Bell had not been born?
16763You are tempted to say:"Who am I?"
16763_ Read 2 Samuel, Chapter 9._ XL THE GAME THAT CAME NEAR BLOWING UP IN THE SEVENTH INNING Say, fellows, have you heard the sorrowful news about David?
16763_ Read John 20:1- 21._ XVII KNOWING HOW Say, fellows, have you heard of the expert who was called in to start the big engine?

16763can you make it?"
16763did I hear you ask?
16763do you ask?
16763tares are coming up with the wheat-- what shall we do?"
16763until seven times?"
4283Ah,said the second party,"ca n''t we with a little money get that out of him?"
4283But we ask, to whom does this epithet apply better? 4283 We, pirates?
4283What has the priesthood done in Brazil in about 400 years? 4283 And how shall they hear without a preacher?
4283And what of the attacks against private and public fortunes?
4283But why these fine clothes?
4283Ever since that day I have been hearing that pathetic question,"Where can I go?"
4283Finally one of them asked him this question:"Suppose someone should strike you in the face in persecution, what would you do?"
4283How 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?
4283How is it with our missionaries in Brazil?
4283I said to him,''Captain, why are you beating me, I believe in God; do not you also?''
4283I wonder how many churches in the United States have built their own house and pastorium and sustained themselves from the start?
4283Immediately the priest inquired,"What is this I am hearing about you, Marciano?"
4283Is it because the work is not successful there?
4283Is it because there is less need of the gospel?
4283Is 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?
4283Is not this after all the kind of preaching our Lord has sent us into the world to do?
4283Is there any call for Protestant effort?
4283One 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?
4283Shall we tell them?
4283Stopping and panting he said,''Do you believe in God, you rascal?''
4283There flashed instantly in the boy''s eye a hope that had long since died, and he quickly inquired,"Where can I go?"
4283To whom shall Latin- America go?
4283What are the facts about that phase of missions?"
4283What are the facts?
4283What brought about the readiness of this territory in the interior of the State of Bahia for the acceptance of the gospel?
4283What is the net result of such religious life as we have been portraying?
4283What is the real religion of the Brazilians?
4283What is the religious status of Brazil?
4283What must be the conclusion forced upon, them and what must be the effect upon them?
4283What progress has this providential teaching of the Latins in the New World made?
4283What shall I say of the priests?
4283What was the secret of their actions?
4283Who is he?
4283Who is that handsomely- groomed, gentleman passing?
4283Why do we need 400 ministers in this country to one in Brazil?
4283Why this disparity of workers in Brazil?
4283Would you not like to go out in the country to visit him?"
54291Man born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble... who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? 54291 How is it then that some are lost? 54291 How is past baptismal sin to be effaced? 54291 Who does not know this truth by experience? 54291 Who has not felt the conflict; realized that there are different and opposing elements in his nature? 41258 Paddy,"said he, calling to his servant,"who is that?"
41258''Dead?
41258''Oh, when shall I come and appear before God?''
41258And those of Zechariah,"Your fathers, where are they?
41258And what was that object, which could raise him above the exhaustion of fatigue and the sense of severe cold?
41258Are you sure that you are right?
41258As a minister of Christ, did his light shine with a more resplendent ray, or was it disturbed and overcast with gloom?
41258At what period of the day do they attend school?
41258But to where am I now wandering?
41258Did he become selfish and morose?
41258Do they appear to have any views of the Lord Jesus Christ as a Saviour?
41258Do they learn to read and write?
41258Do they understand figures?
41258Does it now give you full satisfaction?
41258Have they any meeting in the week- days for prayer and religious instruction?
41258Have they renounced generally their former superstitions?
41258Have you an infant school, or a school for men and boys?
41258He was one of Nature''s nobles; what might not be expected from such a man when he returned home again?
41258I spoke from the 6th chapter of Revelation.--''Behold the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?''
41258If"music charms the savage breast,"sir, why should not the sweetest sounds that ever met man''s ear do more?
41258It may be asked, who are proper persons, and what are the requisite qualifications?
41258Let the question be asked, who taught them to be so?
41258Marsden?"
41258THE GREAT QUESTION; Will you consider the Subject of Personal Religion?
41258The Christian reader will probably ask what were the effects of these various trials upon Mr. Marsden''s mind and temper?
41258The question was put to the whole army,"Do you agree to this?"
41258They had come among them to preach the gospel of peace, how then could they be expected to furnish the means and implements of destruction?
41258We are wholly in their power, and what is there to hinder them from abusing it?
41258Were the Maories an inferior race, compared with the aborigines of the Tahitian group?
41258What contrast could indeed be greater, or more distressing?
41258What do they learn?
41258What schools there are at the station, and who are the teachers?
41258What shall we call those pure sensations that thus warm and captivate the soul?
41258Who would not desire that the Maorie tribes may long be a great and powerful nation, protected, but not oppressed by English rule?
41258Why should a nomad race be settled upon the workhouse plan, or even confined to an English farm?
41258Why should not a similar state of things be brought about in New Zealand?
41258You have no covetousness?
41258a school for women?
41258and the prophets, do they live for ever?"

41258havn''t you?
41258stop, my friend,''responded the mourner, in a solemn manner,''do n''t you know that Mrs. Cartwright is dead?''
41258were his spiritual affections quickened?
48370And was not this exactly the Case of our_ Royal Sufferer_?
48370But did they enjoy that_ Liberty_ any otherwise than in Name?
48370Did the_ Authors_ of those Troubles find their Account in''em?
48370Was not the nefarious Business in Agitation dignified with the specious Title of_ the Lord''s Work_?
48370Was the Course of the_ Law_ more free and undisturb''d, or_ Justice_ more equitably and impartially Administer''d?
48370Was the Freedom of_ Parliament_, and Right of_ Elections_ more inviolably kept?
48370Was there a greater_ Liberty of Conscience_, when the prevailing Sect for the Time Condemn''d the_ Toleration_ of the rest as_ Anti- christian_?
48370Was there not a Day of_ Humiliation_ appointed?
48370Were there fewer_ Executions_,_ Fines_ and_ Imprisonments_?
48370Were they able at last quietly to Establish their own Way of Worship, and had they not many contending Rivals?
48370Were they less under the Terror of an_ armed Force_?
36732Ai n''t nine old enough?
36732And then you''ll be a missionary wo n''t you?
36732Are you sure He''d forgive you?
36732Are you sure, Bessie, you realize what you''re doing?
36732Caoutchouc, is it, teacher?
36732Children, are you ready for Sunday school? 36732 Could I?"
36732Did n''t any body coax you to join the church?
36732Do you realize a change of heart?
36732Do you want to know, Charlie, how you can tell if you can be a missionary when you are a man?
36732Do your parents have family worship?
36732He does? 36732 How did you learn to give that for the reason?"
36732How do you know that you love Jesus?
36732How does it come you did not want to wait till you grew up, like many others do?
36732How does it seem?
36732How long did you want to join the church before last summer?
36732How often do you pray?
36732How old are you, Bessie?
36732How old must one be first?
36732I think so, do n''t you?
36732Must I do something bad before I can join the church?
36732Now, then, are you happy, Bessie?
36732Papa,she continued"why do you stay here with me?
36732Papa,she said"why do n''t you have the door open in Charlie''s room?
36732Poor little fellow, what do you think I had better tell him?
36732Suppose at school some of the other scholars tease you, then what?
36732Suppose sometime you should sin, then what?
36732Suppose the church should ask you to do something you did not want to do?
36732Then is it any use to study so hard to get a good education?
36732We can all do something, then, ca n''t we? 36732 Well, but, am I old enough?"
36732Well, mamma,he said,"I would like to be a Christian, ca n''t I?
36732Well, then why did n''t we send lots of missionaries fifty years ago? 36732 Well, why do n''t you tell me, Charlie?
36732Were there heathen fifty years ago?
36732What about, Bessie?
36732What are you going to do when you grow up?
36732What did you want to be baptized for?
36732What do you say about it, papa?
36732What does it mean to be under conviction?
36732What must I do?
36732What part do_ you_ take?
36732What part of the Bible do you like the best?
36732What things?
36732When were you baptized?
36732Who made you?
36732Why so, Earl?
36732Why, my dear boy,said his mamma,"you can enjoy it anyhow, ca n''t you?"
36732Why?
36732Why?
36732Yes, and then, papa, what wrong has he done?
36732A wagon going by, the man called out,"Charlie, what are you doing?"
36732After 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?"
36732But I could, for Jesus helps, do n''t He?"
36732But what is to be done with the children?
36732Did Christ not die for them?
36732Does an education make a person good?"
36732Does it scare you?"
36732Does"all the world"exclude children?
36732Is the church not for them?
36732Mamma, why do n''t we have family worship, anyhow?"
36732On 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?"
36732Other members do, do n''t they?"
36732What does"come"mean, when the Savior says"Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not"?
36732What does"in"signify, in"bringing up children in the Lord?"
36732What would your papa and I do?"
36732When did he say so?"
36732Which is stronger,--the chestnut tree or the little chestnut?"
36732While they were eating, Charlie said,"Do you think, mamma, I can get up head this afternoon?
36732Why?"
36732Will He forgive me, mamma, and will you?"
36732Wo n''t you ask papa?
36732You know what development means?"
36732and what is the meaning of those last three words?
50916Are 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?
50916What am I, that infinite unworthiness and nothingness should be permitted to stand in the presence of infinite purity, majesty, and glory?
50916Where would I have been this night but for_ Him_?
50916what wouldst thou have me to do?"
50916where could I have been this night_ but_ for_ Thee_?
29296For whereby shall it be known that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy sight? 29296 How that?
29296Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? 29296 Jesus saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
29296Tell me,he said,"were you saved by doing your best?"
29296What profit should we have, if we pray unto Him?
29296Which 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?
29296A PLEA FOR MORE PRAYER CHAPTER VI Restraining Prayer: is it Sin?
29296A PLEA FOR MORE PRAYER CHAPTER VII Who shall Deliver?
29296A PLEA FOR MORE PRAYER CHAPTER VIII Wilt Thou be made Whole?
29296And how does He expect to find them?
29296And how is this to be done?
29296And 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?
29296And shall not God avenge His own elect, which_ cry to Him day and night_, and_ He is long- suffering with them_?
29296And shall we who are Christians not be able to face the difficulties that we meet in prayer?
29296And what happened?
29296And what is now the disease of which the lack of prayer is the symptom?
29296And what is now, according to the parable, the life that one must lead to bear fruit, and then ask and receive what we will?
29296And why?
29296And will you still doubt whether God is able to make you"strivers with God,"princes who prevail with Him?
29296Are there not tens of thousands with us mourning the lack of the power of intercession?
29296Are we going to give up ourselves to God and His Spirit to live a life in prayer, well- pleasing to Him?
29296Are we to submit?
29296Are you mourning that just this is your trouble-- you do not, can not, live this branch- life, abiding in Him?
29296But is it really possible?
29296But 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?
29296Can anything be nobler than to do as Christ did?
29296Can it indeed be that those who have never been able to face, much less to overcome the difficulty, can yet become mighty in prayer?
29296Can it indeed be?
29296Can 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?
29296Do you not begin to feel prayer is really the help for this sinful world?
29296Do you not see how all depends upon God and prayer?
29296For what?
29296HOW 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?
29296HOW TO PRAY.--With definite Petitions="What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
29296HOW TO PRAY.--With the Understanding="What is it then?
29296Has not our school of intercession taught us how little we have prayed in the name of Jesus?
29296Have you done it?
29296How can I breathe and feel and hear without ceasing?
29296How can one do it who is surrounded by the cares of daily life?--How can a mother love her child without ceasing?
29296How can our wishes, often so foolish, and our will, often so selfish, overrule or change that perfect will?
29296How can the eyelid without ceasing hold itself ready to protect the eye?
29296How comes it that the confession of too little prayer, and the call for more prayer, is so frequently heard, and yet the evil continues?
29296How much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?
29296How?
29296If Christ gave His life for them, will you not do so?
29296If 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?
29296If 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?
29296In answer to the question, But why, if the answer to prayer is so positively promised, why are there such numberless unanswered prayers?
29296Is it not that_ Thou goest with us_?"
29296Is 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?
29296Is there not almost everywhere a confession of the lack of spirituality and spiritual power?
29296It is of this reign of grace in the soul that Paul asks,"Shall we sin because we are under grace?"
29296Let me once again ask the question: Does the work of intercession take the place in the Church it ought to have?
29296Making us conscious of our feebleness in prayer?
29296May I be allowed to speak a very personal word to each of my readers?
29296Or how can our prayer change what He has ordained before?
29296Or tell us how we can attain to what we desire?"
29296Ought I not to do my best to have the coldness removed?"
29296Our Lord Jesus more than once asked those who cried to Him for mercy,"What wilt thou?"
29296RESTRAINING PRAYER-- IS IT SIN?
29296Shall I at all be inquired of by them?"
29296Shall we not learn the lesson which nature and Christ alike teach?
29296Surely you can not say that our failures in prayer, and we sadly confess to them, are owing to our not living"under grace"?
29296Tell me, was it really possible for Jacob to become Israel-- a prince who prevailed with God?
29296These hints to help us in our work of intercession-- what are they doing for us?
29296WHO SHALL DELIVER?
29296WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE?
29296Was 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?
29296Was it only in the Church of the first century, that Paul and James and our Lord Himself had to speak such sharp words?
29296We 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?
29296We 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?
29296Were it not better to leave all to His disposal, who knows what is best, and loves to give us the very best?
29296What a need there is of unceasing prayer?
29296What can it be?
29296What can our ten minutes of intercession avail?
29296What could they accomplish if each were living in the fulness of the Holy Spirit?
29296What does this teach?
29296What gave Him such boldness?
29296What is education but a daily developing and disciplining of the mind by new difficulties presented to the pupil to overcome?
29296What is it that the vinedresser cuts away with his pruning- knife?
29296What is it we are to be or do, that will enable us to pray as we should, and to receive what we ask?
29296What was he to think of his state, and was there any way out of it?
29296What, he asked, must I think of such a life?
29296Where could He seek them but in His Church?
29296Who are the blessèd ministers Of this world- gathering band?
29296Who would not be willing to have his sickness removed?
29296Will there not be some who feel constrained to cry out,"Where is the Lord God of Elijah?"
29296Will ye not join the blessèd ranks In their beautiful array?
29296Will you do it?
29296Will you not do it?
29296Will you not, even now, accept of this by faith?
29296Wilt Thou not revive us again?
29296Wilt thou be made whole?
29296You pray for"the Spirit of grace and supplication"?
29296how in all the intercourse of ministers and people, in all the ministrations of Christ''s Church, it is the one secret of success?
29296how it can defy all the power of the world, and fit men to conquer that world for Christ?
29296how it is to be sought in prayer continually and persistently?
29296how they who have the heavenly power can pray it down upon others?
29296shall 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?
29296what think you, is it not possible that this has been the want in your life, the cause of your failure in prayer?
29296who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
29296who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
29296why is it that so many of God''s children have no desire for this honour-- being princes of God, strivers with God, and prevailing?
29296why then is not the health of the daughter of my people restored?"
57109But is there not another standpoint from which it behoves us to consider this narrative?
57109Is not the living CHRIST speaking now through this story to us, who as much need the Living Water as did the Samaritan woman?
57109Is there anything of human manufacture that is not easily proved to be man''s work when tested by the microscope?
57109Why has it been recorded, but for our instruction?
57109Why is so much time worse than wasted over criticism of its different books?
44835Mother, if I study, Sure He''ll make me know Why the stars He kindled, O''er our earth to glow?
44835And can it be, that I''m possessed Of something brighter far?
44835And not by word or action said The thing that was not strictly true?
44835And when night came, that little one, In kneeling down to pray, Said, in a soft and whispering tone,"Have I been good to- day?"
44835Does any from the false world find Naught but reproach and scorn?
44835Does any, stung by words unkind, Wish that he ne''er was born?
44835Glows there a light within this breast, Out- shining every star?
44835Have we been gentle, lowly, meek, And the small voice of conscience heard?
44835Have we endeavored to do right, Nor thought our duty a hard task?
44835Have we with cheerful zeal obeyed What our kind parents bade us do?
44835How do the leaves fade Beneath the autumn blast?
44835How do the leaves grow, In spring, upon their stems?
44835How many a weary traveler Would miss the fragrant smell?
44835How the voice of God be heard?
44835Is not true leisure One with true toil?
44835Our outward life requires them not,-- Then wherefore had they birth?
44835Suppose the glistening dew- drop, Upon the grass, should say,"What can a little dew- drop do?
44835Then 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?
44835To brave the dull, cold morning sky, While day is scarcely breaking?
44835To whom shall we, Thy children, turn?
44835WHAT IS HEAVEN?
44835We''re just starting into life,-- What shall arm us for its strife?
44835What shall lead our steps aright?
44835What, if they close at mid- day?
44835When passion tempted us to speak, Have we repressed the angry word?
44835Whence shall come a guiding light?
44835Whence shall come the saving word?
44835Where do we find it not?
44835Why rise so soon, thou little bird, Thy soft, warm nest forsaking?
44835Wouldst behold beauty Near thee, all round?
44835have we stopped to think and pray, That God would please to give us power To chase the naughty thought away?
44835they brighten; Are they angels''eyes?"
44835who can speak His worth?
33214And what did the teachers say?
33214And what will happen if he dies?
33214Boy,she said,"where is the cup?"
33214Can you tell the tribe that has been in the habit of sacrificing to this bit of land?
33214Do you know,she said one day to her chief,"you drink because you have not enough work?
33214Do you think any one will listen to you?
33214Do you think they will lay aside their weapons of war for you?
33214Good, and what do the people say?
33214How can you take four black girls to Scotland, and you so ill, Ma? 33214 However can you do it?"
33214Indeed,said some one,"and did you get a clean plate and spoon?"
33214Is n''t God good to me?
33214Is n''t it the custom for the tribes to whom land belongs to sacrifice to it?
33214Ma, you know me? 33214 Ma,"he said,"how I fit stop them woman mouth?"
33214Me? 33214 Now, sonny,"she would say,"do you remember our little secret treaty?
33214Oh, Ma, do n''t you see what I''m driving at?
33214Oh, Ma, when are you coming?
33214Oh, Ma, when can we go? 33214 Oh, dear,"she sighed,"what can I do with such bairns?"
33214Oh, 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?"
33214Oh,she thought,"is this what God meant when He turned me back last week?"
33214Shall I not follow my Master,she said,"because my way is not easy and not nice?
33214Well?
33214What about your clothes?
33214What can I do? 33214 What can you expect?"
33214What do you mean?
33214What does it matter? 33214 What harm can a wee girlie do you?"
33214What have I done? 33214 What is it now?"
33214What will it hold? 33214 What''s that?"
33214Where is Ma? 33214 Where is that?
33214Where is the chief? 33214 Where?"
33214Why are you doing that, Janie?
33214Why, Ma,said the natives in wonder,"what is a dead child?
33214Why, what have they done?
33214You''ll pray for me? 33214 A huntsman, in search of game, saw a movement amongst the bushes, and cried out,Any one there?"
33214A long rest revived her, and she rose-- to go home?
33214And for His sake will they not come out and work for Him there?"
33214And then she wonders what her little friend is doing and asks,"Are you going to do something fine in the new year?
33214Anyhow if I am not there will you pop my collection into the plate for me, like a bonnie lassie?
33214Are you?
33214Are you?
33214But oh, has n''t it been grand?
33214But what do you think your dear daddy did?
33214But what shall I do with my girls?
33214But you see I can not fly over the sea, and you ca n''t come here, so what better can we do?"
33214Could she not, after all, be the missionary?
33214Do n''t we live a very funny life?
33214Do the masters give any punishments?
33214Do you no ken that away out there they''re dying without Jesus?"
33214Every one asked, What is to be done now?
33214Had he spoken the truth?
33214How can I describe it?
33214How could she leave the work at Use?
33214How could she manage it?
33214How do you like it?
33214How shall we live?
33214I wonder, now, if you could love Him as much as that?"
33214It is a wonderful old world this, is n''t it?
33214Janie 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?
33214Now, dear wee blue eyes, my bonnie birdie, are we never to have a play again or a snuggly snug?
33214Now, will you tell me what to do?"
33214Once, 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?
33214One afternoon a Government officer visited her and said:"Ma, what are we going to do?"
33214Or this,"Are you remembering our old secret?
33214Several times she returned, and always the people asked:"Ma, have you come to stay?"
33214She did not say,"I am only a girl, what can I do?"
33214She said to herself,"Can I not build a little one for the ladies in Calabar?"
33214Taking the wee twin boys in my hands I rushed out, and what do you think I saw?
33214The Consul told the King that he_ must_ have quiet during the reading of the treaties, but the King said helplessly,"How can I do?
33214They knew she was not specially brave; indeed, was not her timidity a joke amongst them?
33214Was it a wonder that she began to lose her strength?
33214Was it surprising that her hands were rough and hard, and often sore and bleeding?
33214Well, what do they wish?"
33214What could she reply?
33214What did it matter if there was only one dish and no spoons or forks?
33214What do you think of that?
33214What of that wonderful secret which he had kept so closely locked up in his heart?
33214What shall we do?
33214What should she do?
33214What should they do?
33214What was it that gave her such an influence over these rude and unruly boys?
33214When Janie was handed a penwiper,"Oh, Ma,"she said reproachfully,"wipe a dirty pen with that?
33214When a chief dies, do you know what happens to his wives and slaves?
33214Where are the people?"
33214Where is the witch- doctor?"
33214Where will you sit?"
33214Who is going to follow in Ma''s footsteps, here and elsewhere?
33214Why do n''t you trade with Calabar?"
33214Why not come up with me?"
33214Why not do the work yourself?"
33214Why was she afraid in this way?
33214Why was this white woman interfering with them at such a moment?
33214Would we be burned at the stake?
33214Would we give our lives for His sake?"
33214You remember you nursed and healed me?"
33214You wonder what I got a prize for?
33214[ Illustration]"Ikpe?"
33214but you may be going to England?
33214how many of you lassies am I to get?"
33214now what shall I do?"
33214said the other missionaries,"are you wise to do this after all you have gone through?
33214she said to a companion,"I wonder what we would do or dare for Jesus?
33214who is to take up the work of the great pioneer and help to save the natives from misery and death?
11760Children, have ye any meat?
11760Hast thou not known? 11760 Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?
11760Seekest thou great things for thyself?
11760A man says:"Ca n''t I do as I like with my own?"
11760A ransom must be paid to somebody-- to whom was this ransom paid?
11760About His dying-- how did He die?
11760And Faraday, weeping, said:"Why will people go astray when they have this blest book to guide them?"
11760And I put it to you this morning whether you can any longer tolerate that omission?
11760And what did they mean?
11760And what is the object of connecting man with God?
11760And what to him is the resultant enfranchisement?
11760And where is Christ?
11760And who are Christ''s?
11760And why is it greater than charity?
11760And why not?
11760Are there any in whom the immortal hope burns low?
11760Are there any merchants here who are despondent?
11760Are there any parents whose children have wandered far?
11760Are you anxious for your children?
11760Are you hopeless and despondent because of your fainting strength?
11760Are you sick with hope long deferred?
11760Are you weak, oh, patriot?
11760Art thou one of the old prophets of Israel, escaped from his rocky tomb?
11760Besides, do we know whether voices that seem to be lost, are so in reality?
11760Brethren, does our common thought of redemptive glory reach back into this august and awful presence?
11760But are we right?
11760But has reverence no relationship to the practical?
11760But how did you destroy it?
11760But what is the fact?
11760But what made Luther?
11760But when the thrones of Rome were occupied with men who held the same opinion of the Bible as he does today, what was the freedom of the race?
11760But: What end have you in view?
11760By Thomas DeWitt Talmage Moody, Dwight Lyman, What Think ye of Christ?
11760By what interest are you led?
11760By whom have you been bought?
11760Can the trees of the field, as they clap their hands and sing in the freshening breeze, do other than refer it to heaven?
11760Can we safely exile it from our moral and spiritual culture?
11760Can you tell me anything that is going to last?
11760Christianity does not ask:"What think ye of the Bible?"
11760Did you ever notice how continually John associates love and faith with eternal life?
11760Did you ever think what he meant by that?
11760Dine on what?
11760Do you find yourselves face to face with the fact that Christ died for our sins?
11760Do you recall those wonderful sentences, scattered here and there about the apostle''s writings, and beginning with the words"but now"?
11760Do you think that that is a fair explanation?
11760Do you wonder that from that day to this the"carpenter''s son"of the Bible has been scoffed at by this infidelity?
11760Do your days of service seem short, until your life is scarcely longer than the flower that blooms to- day and is gone tomorrow?
11760Does the thought of the modern disciple journey in this distant pilgrimage?
11760Everyone has asked himself the great question of antiquity as of the modern world: What is the_ summum bonum_--the supreme good?
11760Has slavery worn man''s strength to nothingness until he is as weak as the broken reed and the withered grass?
11760Hath not God pledged His strength to the worker, that God whose arm strikes out worlds as the smith strikes out sparks upon the anvil?
11760Have the sons of the fathers never heard of the everlasting God, the Lord, Creator of the ends of the earth?
11760Have troubles driven happiness from thee, as the hawk drives the young lark or nightingale from its nest?
11760Have we not here, on the contrary, the image of human life?
11760Have you ever noticed how much of Christ''s life was spent in doing kind things-- in merely doing kind things?
11760How did it go?
11760How does that touch you as a revelation of magnificence in strength?
11760How does the Roman Catholic Church do it?
11760How is it that she pursues her conquering way, in spite of stupidities and blunders that would have killed any other institution?
11760How is it that this prophet and poet has become companion of the great ones of the earth?
11760How many of you will join me in reading this chapter once a week for the next three months?
11760How shall he care for these, when he returns to his ruined estate?
11760How then are we to have this transcendent living whole conveyed into our souls?
11760How?
11760I wonder why it is that we are not all kinder than we are?
11760If Christ was indeed a ransom, the question naturally arose, who paid the price?
11760If we could have forecast the training of such a life, how should we have pictured it?
11760If you and I could have imagined the introduction of this life of lives to the world, how should we picture that?
11760In the event of death, what arm shall lift a shield above these little ones?
11760Is any one prepared to dissociate this contemplation from the apostle''s cheery optimism?
11760Is it not a complete justification of our plea?
11760Is it not significant of what a great man of affairs found needful for the enkindling and sustenance of a courageous hope?
11760Is it the delusion of the sleeper, or the whisper of God?
11760Is life not full of opportunities for learning love?
11760Is not man''s helper that God who dippeth up the seas in the hollow of His hand?
11760Is not rather the thought of coming glory one of its abiding springs?
11760Is not that yet more pathetically significant?
11760Is the Shepherd and Leader of His little flock unequal to their guidance across the desert?
11760Is the ladder set up from the earth, or is it let down from above?
11760Is the way long and through a desert?
11760Is there one of us long tossed on sunless seas of doubt, long conscious of failure and disappointment in life?
11760It asks:"What think ye of Christ?"
11760It is David singing:"Why art thou cast down, O my soul?"
11760It is Jesus saying to Mary, and, in her, to all those whom grief afflicts:"Why weepest thou?"
11760Man''s hand unequal to the task of rebuilding Jerusalem?
11760Now how?
11760Now, what are the secrets of this courageous and energetic optimism?
11760Oh, brother, is it true of you, that after all the painful years happiness is not yours?
11760Oh, how can I fulfil it?
11760Or art thou perchance He whom we await?
11760Or do we now regard it as unpractical and irrelevant?
11760Roaming then through the entire records of his life and teachings, do we discover any significant emphasis?
11760Roman Catholics go to mass; what is the mass?
11760Shall I tell you what the cause is?
11760Shall we discard it as an irrelevant factor in the purposes of common life?
11760Shall we go forward with our Bible or backward without it?
11760The wisdom of the ancients, where is it?
11760There is the root, there the stem, and there are the leaves, and there is everything; but where is the flower?
11760They had toiled all night and caught nothing; is not that a significant description of many human lives?
11760They no longer say to any one who now lifts up his voice: Who are you?
11760Thine enemies too strong for thee?
11760To all this wretched state of man what offers came from Seneca, whom skepticism quotes as a moralist?
11760To what shall we refer this sublime, transfiguring dream?
11760We have the boat and the nets, all this elaborate organization of the Church, but have we caught anything this year?
11760We men and women sometimes feel burdened because of the sin we see around us; shall not the heavenly Father be as sensitive and responsive as we men?
11760We must arise with courage undismayed, and join in the cry of the ages: When wilt thou save the people, O God of mercy, when?
11760Well, pray, what is practical preaching?
11760What are the spacious issues of the glorious work?
11760What are the things in this Man''s life?
11760What are these, arrayed in white, Brighter than the noonday sun?
11760What can we do with that which is the true life of man?
11760What can we say of that which is the highest wisdom, the widest sympathy, the divinest love, and the mightiest power in human history?
11760What do you think of that?
11760What does this prophet on the Isle of Patmos see and hear, as he looks out into future ages and coming worlds?
11760What good are we if it is good for nothing, since it is at the root of all our institutions?
11760What if their language had decayed and their institutions had perished?
11760What is behind it?
11760What is it made of?
11760What is life?
11760What is the Lord''s Supper?
11760What is the noblest object of desire, the supreme gift to covet?

11760What was Christ doing in the carpenter''s shop?
11760What was His spirituality?
11760What was that?
11760What was this spirit in him?
11760What will be the joy of that harvest?
11760When did it go?
11760When you go into the average church to- day, what great idea meets you?
11760Where are the men and women saved by our triumphant effort?
11760Where did He get it?

11760Who weighs the mountains with scales and the hills in the balance?
11760Whose program for the production of intellectual and spiritual liberty can liberals accept?
11760Why did they not know Him?
11760Why do they worship Apollo and Aphrodite, Hermes and Athene?
11760Why do we want to live tomorrow?
11760Why is love greater than faith?

11760Would he ever dream of taking His name in vain if he loved Him?
11760Would he not be too glad to have one day in seven to dedicate more exclusively to the object of his affection?
11760You could only insult him if you suggested that he should not steal-- how could he steal from those he loved?

35221As I watched the men put up their hands in reply to the question of"How many of you men want to lead a better life?"
35221As well might we ask does the beautiful life of a true Christian pay?

20711And what is the_ breadth_ of Christ''s Cross?
20711And what is the_ length_ of Christ''s Cross?
20711And who is He?
20711Are there no more worlds?
20711Are we more educated than were the ancient Greeks?
20711Are we selfish?
20711But Himself?
20711But after all, what is speculation to practice?
20711But shall I then despond and die?
20711But what is true rest?
20711But where?
20711But why?
20711Can there be a more glorious truth to carry out-- one which will lead us more into all love and beauty and purity in heaven and earth?
20711Can we go wrong if we keep our Passion- week as Christ kept His?
20711Christ''s cross says still, and will say to all Eternity,"Wouldst thou be good?
20711Content or Happy?
20711Dark, dark night, wilt thou never wear away?
20711Death, beautiful, wise, kind Death, when will you come and tell me what I want to know?
20711Do I mean, then, that this or any text has nothing to do with us?
20711Do we indulge our passions?
20711Do we neglect our duty?
20711Do you wish Him to be any nearer?
20711Does the age seem to you dark?
20711Else why is there a resurrection of the body?
20711Even fools long for a short life and a merry one, and shall not the Lord''s people pray for a short death and a merry one?
20711Fond of him?
20711Fools may hold fast to their scanty stock through life, and we must be very cautious in drawing them from it-- for where can they supply its place?
20711For till then they can find no explanation of the three great human questions-- Where am I?
20711For what more beautiful sight on earth than a young mother with her babe upon her knee?
20711God''s Mercy or Man''s?
20711Has our Lord Jesus Christ answered it, or has He not?
20711Has the evil one touched this alone?
20711Hatred and sin-- is not that hell itself, wherein dwells all that is opposed to God?
20711He who has never loved, what does he know?
20711Heaven and hell-- the spiritual world-- are they merely invisible places in space which may become visible hereafter?
20711How can we attain to the blessed and noble state of mind-- the mind of Christ, who must needs be about His Father''s business, which is doing good?
20711How did St. Paul look on his past life?
20711How shall I get true knowledge?
20711How shall we picture John the Baptist to ourselves?
20711How was He, The blessed One, made perfect?
20711However miraculous they may seem, are they so very much more so than the daily fact of memory?
20711If a man is busy, and busy about his duty, what more does he require for time or for eternity?
20711If we say simply,"I am wretched-- I ought to be wretched;"then we shall perhaps hear a voice,"Who made thee wretched but God?
20711Is it merely a fancy that we are losing that love for Spring which among our old forefathers rose almost to worship?
20711Is it not our business to bring it back to light and joy?
20711Is it not self- conceit which makes us think the redemption of this earth the one event of eternity?
20711Is no the verra idea of the classic tragedy defined to be man conquered by circumstance?
20711Is not that a joy, a prize, which wealth can not give nor poverty take away?
20711Is that a hard word?
20711Is there a Holy One, whom I may contemplate with utter delight?
20711Is there a living God in the universe, or is there not?
20711Is there one such poor soul over whom Christ does not grieve?
20711It is but pride and self- will which says,"Give me something huge to fight and I shall enjoy that-- but why make me sweep the dust?"
20711Know ye not your God is with you, guiding with a Father''s hand?
20711Knowledge which I shall know accurately and practically too, so that I can use it in daily life, for myself and others?
20711Let me ask-- of what period of youth and manhood does it not hold true?
20711Love and righteousness-- is not that the heaven itself wherein God dwells?
20711Mackaye?"
20711Man?
20711May it not be so?
20711May not they be near us though unseen?
20711No?
20711Religion or Godliness?
20711Sacrifices to be made-- are there none now?
20711Shall we therefore be dark too?
20711That inborn delight of the young in all that is marvellous and fantastic-- has that a merely evil root?
20711Then what can He mean but thy good?"
20711There were daring deeds to be done then-- are there none now?
20711Though blind, shall we be afraid to follow?
20711To do God''s will, or merely suffer it?
20711True or False Toleration?
20711Verily, when the Son of God cometh shall He find faith in the earth?
20711What can a man do more than_ die_ for his countrymen?
20711What does God ask?
20711What does God require of us, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Him?
20711What else is meant by becoming as a little child?
20711What if I had discovered that one law of the spiritual world, in which all others were contained, was Righteousness?
20711What 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?
20711What is Theology?
20711What is love worth that does not show itself in action?
20711What is sensuality?
20711What is the commonest, and yet the least remembered form of heroism?
20711What is the sin which most destroys all men and nations?
20711What is there in this world worth having without religion?
20711What is this strange thing, without which even the true knowledge of doctrine is of no use?
20711What is true rest?
20711What matter?
20711What must I do?
20711What surely is a woman''s calling but to teach man?
20711What was Christ''s life?
20711Where Christ is they are; and, therefore, if Christ be there, may not they be there likewise?
20711Which is Love?
20711Whither am I going?
20711Who can hear it?
20711Who, save the Cause and Maker and Ruler of all things past, present, and to come?
20711Whom can I love?"
20711Why did Christ take up the cross?
20711Why expect Wisdom with love in all?
20711Why is not eternity to have action and change, yet both like God, compatible with rest and immutability?
20711Why need we suppose that heaven is to be one vast lazy retrospect?
20711Why not in you, my toiling brother?
20711Why not?
20711Why should they not feed our children''s?
20711Why speak of the God of Nature and the God of grace as two antithetical terms?
20711Why these fears?
20711Wild, wild wind, wilt thou never cease thy sighing?
20711Will there not be incident and action springing from these when the fate of this world is decided?
20711Would you be humble, daughter?
20711Wouldst thou be like God?
20711Wrongs to be redrest-- are there none now?
20711Yes, great railroads, and great railroad age, who would exchange you, with all your sins, for any other time?
20711You ask,"What is the Good?"
20711You will not see people as they seem-- as they have become, no doubt; but why?
20711and God frowning, and the devil grinning?
20711and if so, where is He?
20711and more, which does not show itself in_ passion_ in the true sense of that word: namely, in suffering?
20711and to teach him what?
20711and why does the Eucharist"preserve our body and soul to everlasting life?"
20711canna ye see it there?
20711dreary March month, is this then a time for building wearily?
20711for am I not''a part of all I see''?
20711how long before Thou come again?
20711in daring, in struggling, in grieving, in agonising, and, if need be, in dying for the object of its love?
20711is there no the heaven above them there, and the hell beneath them?
20711oh, where?
20711or are they not rather the moral world of right and wrong?
20711that righteousness, and it alone, was the beautiful, righteousness the sublime, the heavenly, the God- like-- ay, God Himself?
20711that thou hadst known-- even thou-- at least in this thy day-- the things which belong to thy peace"?
20711where art Thou?
20711why crush that voice in any heart?
20711without which either a man or a nation is poor, and blind, and wretched, and naked in soul, notwithstanding all his religion?
36476And tell me now, Brother Delworth,she said, after the first greetings were over,"where have you been all this time?"
36476And you believe in Jesus Christ, do you not?
36476Can this be Sister Patience? 36476 Can we think that it pleases his loving heart To cause us a moment''s pain?
36476Do I believe on him?
36476Do you know that I am a deserter from the United States Army?
36476Grandma,said he,"there is plenty of room; why do you not set your basket down?"
36476Have you trodden under foot the Son of God as herein mentioned?
36476Is 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?"
36476Sister Tilton? 36476 Then,"she continued,"would you believe that your request would be granted?"
36476Unseen and unknown?
36476What can this mean?
36476What church do you belong to?
36476Why 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?"
36476After a while, she asked:"How was the meeting last night?"
36476Ah, by the way, do you remember Sister Tilton?
36476And again, should I be willing to give my life for lost sinners and have them scoff and spurn me?
36476And how may I conduct myself so as to receive the benefit?"
36476And when you draw a little note, Why not a larger sum?
36476Are you willing to give yourself up for his sake?
36476As 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?
36476Could I be saved at all when in such a state?
36476Did I need to repent, or only try to do better?
36476Do you know what it means to give yourself up?
36476Does it pay to use patience and prayer when dealing with precious souls?
36476During the next forenoon Mother called me to her and said:"Do you know your father neither went to bed nor slept all last night?"
36476For five hundred years Islam has been supreme in Turkey, the fairest and richest portion of the Old World, and what is the result today?
36476Had 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?
36476Had"He who is touched with the feeling of our infirmities"comforted her heart?
36476Have you made failures?
36476He came up to the court- house and said:"You are a Jew, are you not?"
36476He looked at me puzzled and said,"How can this be?"
36476He said:"Are you a Jew and a believer in Jesus?
36476Hence the best way to meet all such things is to bring them quickly to Father, not inquiring impatiently,"Why must I suffer so?"
36476I have a never- failing bank, A more than golden store; No earthly bank is half so rich; How, then, can I be poor?
36476I now asked myself this question:"How do you believe your mother''s promise?"
36476I realized then the force of the Psalmist''s words,"If the foundations be removed, what shall the righteous do?"
36476I was brought face to face with the supreme question, Are you ready to meet God?
36476I 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?"
36476Is it true that he will love me so?"
36476It reads something like this:"Would you serve God only as he gives you pleasure in serving him?"
36476Jones?"
36476Making her way to him, she said:"Good morning, Brother, I have not met you before, have I?"
36476My 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?"
36476Now came the question,"Must I confess this deed to the church, to my neighbors, and to the world?"
36476SEEING MY CONDITION As God revealed this precious truth, I felt as though some one had said of me,"Doth Job serve God for naught?"
36476Since 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?
36476Sometimes my Banker, smiling, says:"Why do n''t you oftener come?
36476Soon after being introduced to our new surroundings, I was asked these three questions in succession:"Are you willing to stay here and work?"
36476Soon the enemy began to suggest,"Where is your joy?
36476Tell me, what is the source of your happiness?"
36476The 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?"
36476The thought came to me,"Can you not trust the Lord to carry you through all these difficulties?"
36476These I was very anxious for others to see; for if they were good for me, why not for others also?
36476Trials will come, but what of it?
36476Were my careless actions and thoughtless words sins, or only mistakes?
36476What is it that thou art endeavoring to do for me?
36476When it was all finished, he looked at me with a smile, as if to say,"Did n''t they do well?"
36476When 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?"
36476When the paper came to me, I said to my father,"May I subscribe?"
36476Whence came those agonizing groans, and whither had they flown?
36476Why come and take a one- pound note, When you might have a twenty?
36476Why did n''t he sleep?"
36476Why should I, who longed to be a soul- winner, be a source of trial to others?
36476Why should you thus bring feelings of reproach upon yourself and family?
36476You were at Paldings?
36476a man that stamped his Bible under his feet and fought against him?
36476and do we Ever care to know Whether bitter herbs or roses In our neighbor''s garden grow?"
36476but 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?
38818Dark?
38818Hard?
38818Lonely?
38818No help?
38818There is none good but One,he said;"why callest thou me good?"
38818Tired?
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?"
38818Am I not right?
38818And what of that?
38818Are you going to resume school after vacation again, or what do you intend to turn your attention to?
38818Are you sick?
38818C. A. Brigham, the''New Hampshire Statement of Belief,''and''What Do Unitarians Believe?''
38818Can we not say that these two did not live in vain?
38818Can you not make it something as touching as''Miss Toosey,''and far more practical,--that is, for our own little household of faith?...
38818Could she not go out into Ohio villages and hold lay services, reading the printed prayers and sermons of our Unitarian ministers?
38818Did any one thing settle our doubts or questionings?
38818Didst fancy life one summer holiday, With lessons none to learn, and nought but play?
38818Didst fancy life was spent on beds of ease, Fluttering the rose- leaves scattered by the breeze?
38818Didst fondly dream the sun would never set?
38818Do you know it?
38818Do you know of any low- priced publication which would give me a fair sketch of Theodore Parker''s life and thought?
38818Do you not see why it is we have ceased to speak of it in sermons?
38818Do you not take this view too?"
38818Dost fear to lose thy way?
38818E. E. Hale''s''Methods,''in''Register''a few weeks since?
38818For all I enjoyed the previous sermon, I still thought,''They love God?
38818Has been groping in the dark a long time, and wrote me,"When I read the pamphlet,''What Do Unitarians Believe?''
38818Have you ever come across Frances Power Cobbe''s''Duties of Women''?
38818He encloses one of these articles,--subject,"Future or Everlasting Punishment: Which?"
38818How do they bear them, and where do they get their patience and strength from?
38818I must answer your question,"Why no denunciation of sin( by Unitarians)?"
38818I 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?
38818I received copies of Mr. Wendte''s sermon,''What do Unitarians Believe?''
38818I remember my thoughts then were about these,--''Christ they know?
38818I would think,''How can I conscientiously be a Baptist and believe this way?''
38818If man had not been of the same nature as himself, would he have thus spoken?
38818In her diary was a copy of this letter to Mr. Wendte, dated Feb. 21, 1878:--"Why not have a''Mission Sunday''sometime soon?
38818Is it not the very time to get them started thinking in the right direction?
38818It helps_ us_ to be good, to know that others are trying in the same way,--do you not think so?
38818Mrs.----, will you at the next meeting of the Women''s Auxiliary Conference thank all the dear friends who have done so much for me?
38818Next,''Why Am I a Unitarian?''
38818Now, do you not think for one who has always been more spiritually inclined, that I have taken quite_ too_ much to money matters?
38818Now, do you not think this a far higher way of converting men than by dwelling on their weaknesses?
38818Or 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?
38818Since I wrote you, have had presented to our library Sunderland''s"What is the Bible?"
38818Tell me, do the majority of Unitarian ministers believe in the resurrection of Jesus; that he healed the leper, cast out devils, and raised Lazarus?
38818Thanksgiving naturally makes us ask,"What have I to be thankful for?"
38818The best comfort for us is, to say to ourselves, Are not many,_ many_ others carrying the same burdens, disappointments, and toils as we?
38818The 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?"
38818Think you not so?
38818This leads me to your question,"What do you do with the Immaculate Conception?
38818WHAT OF THAT?
38818Well, what of that?
38818Well, what of that?
38818Well, what of that?
38818What are the qualifications necessary for the Unitarian ministry?
38818When you have finished such a book the query comes,"Is it fact?"
38818Who can say it is?
38818Who can tell, when a mind gives up its beliefs, where it will stop?
38818Why should she talk about it?
38818Why was that way employed to compel people to accept the divinity of Christ?"
38818Will you not send me a sketch of her life and work for the next number of the"Unitarian"?
38818Will you please tell me?
38818Women 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?"
22482Do you think him beyond further effort?
22482If ye love them who love you, what do ye more than others?
22482Is Saul also among the prophets?
22482Know ye not that whoever will be the friend of the world is the enemy of God?
22482To you is it nothing, all ye that pass by?
22482What is there in him or about him to explain his success?
22482What must I do to be saved?
22482What must I do to be saved?
22482You 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?''
22482A DEVIL''S TRINITY"Know ye not that ye are a temple of God?"
22482And how are we to get it into our possession?
22482And how is it redeemed, even in the case of the latter?
22482And is it not true?
22482And so when the people exclaimed in astonishment:"Is Saul also among the prophets?"
22482And then the further question forced itself-- Why, in so many cases, and to all human seeming, is it just that-- nothing?
22482And what about feeling or emotion, which is usually represented as a vital part of the driving power of Christian life and conduct?
22482And what can not love do?
22482And what does God love in us?
22482And what does it mean when these men are, by the acknowledgment of public sentiment, the representatives of what is called"legitimate business"?
22482And who is responsible for it?
22482And why are they so patient?
22482And why do they not choose?
22482Are they always sure of that?
22482As we can settle nothing but ourselves, why not settle ourselves as comfortably as we can?"
22482But does that which wakes love put it there?
22482But how far is that?
22482But how few people, past a given age, ever do quite conquer the inward foes whose sinister power is of their own cultivation?
22482But 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?
22482But 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?
22482But this is the question: Have they who compose this lonely and sombre procession no claims upon their Maker in the meanwhile?
22482But what proportion do they bear to the legions who, once in Ur of the Chaldees, have neither thought nor desire for a better country?
22482But what, in the next place, is our part in this matter?
22482But 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?
22482But when this is said, the surest and simplest answer to the question, What is it in ourselves we are to love?
22482But who is thy neighbour?
22482But why pile up the odds, that start you never will; or that you will not go far if you do?
22482Can I help you?
22482Can we conceive of it as having any part in the economy of the Kingdom which Jesus came to establish on the earth?
22482Can we marvel why the Christ is still despised and rejected?
22482DOES GOD HAVE FAIR- PLAY?
22482Do we desire life?
22482Do we think that God wills it?
22482Do we want to be saved?
22482Do you believe the first part of this statement?
22482Do you say that you have felt nothing of this convicting and convincing power?
22482Does any one say, I ask again, that he has never had this impulse?
22482For what?
22482From what, I repeat, are we to be saved?
22482Has God been faithful to us; and if so, are we justified in assuming that the same faithfulness is the experience of others?
22482Have we never known lives changed, and indeed transformed by a new affection?
22482Have we to explain to a child the mechanism of its limbs before it can attempt to walk?
22482Have we to wait for something, or have we to do something to make it a real experience?
22482Have you ever tried to know yourself even as you are known?
22482How is this power to come?
22482How many of us have read this man''s life- finish?
22482How may we give the words a useful setting, as a remembrancer and a call to the young men of to- day?
22482How often is it that their chance has been and gone, without their knowing it?
22482How, to use a better term, are we to realize it?
22482I may not be able to explain His grace to the satisfaction of others; but will others explain me to my own?"
22482IX''WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?''
22482If as the beginning is, so must the end be, what are we to say of a man''s will?
22482If it be asked:"Why the possibility at all?"
22482If this is so, how are we to read those old words that"chance happeneth to them all"?
22482If, then, these latter remarks can carry the weight I want them to bear, what of those that have preceded them?
22482In the meantime, then, instead of asking, how can God be God and permit wrong to be in the world?
22482In weariness and despair we ask:"Why should we war with evil?
22482In what sense is a man to love himself?
22482Instead of multiplying words to no profit over the old question, Why all this misery and suffering?
22482Is it possible to do it?
22482Is it possible, then, to bring down this command and incarnate it in our daily life?
22482Is it wrong to cultivate and indulge a habit that inevitably leads to bad results?
22482Is some new thing added to life?
22482Is there anything mysterious in this; anything we may not understand?
22482It is because we can do wrong that we can do right; and if we think about this, may we not think hopefully?
22482It is to take the sting of death out of the old evil question:"Who does it?"
22482It 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?"
22482Long 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?
22482May I counsel you to think about what has been said?
22482Must it annex the whole low plane of such a squalid disposition?
22482Must my love for my neighbour include one callous enough, not only to do a thing like that, but to boast about it?
22482Now is your accepted time--"Are you in earnest?
22482Put religion out of the question, and do we find that the prizes of the world offer us easier terms?
22482Rather will it be, Who can afford not to do it?
22482SELF- RESPECT AND COMPANIONSHIPS"Is Saul also among the prophets?"
22482Should any one ask,"Who does it?"
22482So long as men are indifferent about the very question, Why that anguish?
22482Strong in what sense?
22482Take any wrong that happens to appeal to your sense of indignation, and ask why it continues?
22482That circumstances may use him, but they shall not make him?
22482That sounds formidable, but to what does it amount?
22482The battle is hard, at times very hard, but what battle is not hard that is worth winning?
22482Their meaning is better represented in a question like this:"How comes a person of such distinction to find himself in such disreputable company?"
22482Then I ask: Have you ever passed through an hour of serious inquest with your own soul?
22482Then 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?
22482Then what about the end?
22482This hints to us the answer to the question, Have we to do something that salvation may become a known and felt reality?
22482Unless this be so, what are we to say of the multitudes which sit in darkness and the shadow of death?
22482Very well, take the initial letter from the word, and what have you left?
22482Was He original in His teaching, as we use the word, or was He eclectic, gathering together the most luminous things that had been said?
22482We are to be saved from what?
22482We say:"How does this come to pass?
22482Were not the mighty men of the great nineteenth century aged men, if we count age only by shadows on the dial?
22482What are we to say about the power and working of divine grace?
22482What can make me whole again?
22482What is the difference between the two?
22482What is the explanation?"
22482What of that?
22482What other proof of wrong does a right- minded person ask?
22482What was that cause?
22482What was the fashioning hand behind the effect?
22482What, I ask again, can not love do?
22482What, 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?
22482What, or where, is the wrong in such a transaction?"
22482What, then, is our testimony?
22482While always trying to think fairly, and even generously about others, have you the right to think well of yourselves?
22482While 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?
22482Why is it that a few have so much more than they can use, and so many have less than they need?
22482Why is it that they do not come unto Him that they may have life?
22482Why should they be so chronically patient?
22482Why should they be so long ignorant?
22482Why should you not?
22482Why wait, then, for what is waiting for us?
22482Why?
22482Will he show that kicked he may be, but ball he is not?
22482Would you hold me true in saying that anybody might have anticipated the discovery of wireless telegraphy?
22482X DOES GOD HAVE FAIR- PLAY?
22482X DOES GOD HAVE FAIR- PLAY?
22482and into what are we to be saved?
22482in what does it get its lease of existence?
22482they did not mean:"How is it that such a worldly- minded man finds himself in the company of such pious people?"
22482vain is the appeal,"To you is it nothing your Saviour should die?"
45272And he spoke a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind, shall they not both fall into the ditch?
45272How 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.
45272Visions of peace and a world made new-- what greater need today has the strife- ridden world than this?
45272We have proclaimed the magnificence of our reception but have we ever really received him?
45272What then is peace?
45272Who 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?
45272Why is it that such extraordinary acts of fortitude in plain can take place in wartime?
45272Why not spend more time and thought rejoicing in and applying the unity that already exists instead of magnifying our differences?
45272Will they come in a spirit of humility or will they come with pride in their own might and sovereignty?
45272Would he be recognized in his true colors?
30768Do n''t you know whether it is good or bad?
30768Do you know where the snags and sand- bars are?
30768Have you ever heard the gospel?
30768Have you heard the report?
30768How much?
30768No 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?
30768Remember, I pray thee,said one of them,"who ever perished, being innocent?
30768What is his name?
30768What is the value of this estate?
30768What kind of seed?
30768Why do you ask?
30768Why has he wings on his feet?
30768Why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie unto( deceive) the Holy Ghost? 30768 Why is his face hidden?"
30768Why not?
30768Will 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?''
30768A man said to me some time ago,"Why is it that we can not get honest clerks now?"
30768A man said to me some years ago:"Do n''t you think David fell as low as Saul?"
30768After the meeting, a friend stepped up to him and said:"What is your trouble?"
30768Ah, who shall thus the Master meet, And bring but withered leaves?
30768And do I show less love for him because I warn him against actions that will bring a harvest of misery and despair?
30768And how does it propose to do it?
30768And on the other hand, of prayer, of fearing God and doing His commandments?
30768And what does Paul say are the works of the flesh?
30768Are they straight?
30768Are we hoping to reap eternal life?
30768Are you leading the little ones safe to the Great Shepherd?
30768Are you setting your children a good or a bad example?
30768As a certain deacon passed on his way to church, he followed and said,"Deacon, can you tell me how far it is to hell?"
30768At 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?
30768Boating, fishing, hunting, or on excursions?
30768But what became of the old man?
30768Ca n''t you help me out?''
30768Can you turn to any walking behind you and say:"Follow me as I follow Christ?"
30768Come, my friend, what kind of seed are you sowing?
30768Did He not warn?
30768Did not God make Adam reap even before he left Eden?
30768Do we desire the love of our fellows in our seasons of trial?
30768Do we long for sympathy in our sorrow and pain?
30768Do you doubt it?
30768Do you fancy that He will pay spiritual excellence with plenty of custom?
30768Do you never write home to your parents?
30768Do you not believe it?
30768Do you read any literature that makes your thoughts impure?
30768Do you spend your time at the saloon or the club, until you have become almost a stranger to them?
30768Do you tell me God does n''t detest it also?
30768Do you think ministers are old fogies-- that the Bible belongs to the dark ages?
30768Does he always reap punishment here?
30768Does not the drunkard make his wife and children reap a bitter harvest?
30768Does not the gambler make his relatives reap?
30768Does not the harlot make her parents reap agony and shame?
30768Eventually a hard- looking fellow came on board and said:"Captain, I understand you want a pilot to take you out of this difficulty?"
30768Father, mother, neighbor, are your tracks true?
30768Father, what seed are you sowing in your family?
30768Had not Cain to reap outside of Eden?
30768Had they not to reap a multiplied harvest?
30768Has France not reaped?
30768Have you been living a double life?
30768Have you been making a profession without possessing what you profess?
30768Have you ever heard of the like?"
30768Have you never noticed the same thing about the mind and the heart?
30768He thought,"Shall I lie for my employer, as he undoubtedly means I shall; or shall I tell the truth, come what will?"
30768He was asked:"What did you go into secession for?"
30768His master said,"What foolish idea is this?
30768How can I harmonize the doctrine of forgiveness with the doctrine of retribution?
30768How could it be otherwise?
30768How do you spend the Sabbath?
30768I have a wife and three children; how can I bring the disgrace upon them?"
30768I said,"Why do n''t you go back and give yourself up and face the law, and ask God to forgive you?"
30768I said:"What is it?"
30768I say to my man:"Do you know anything about the thistles in the field?"
30768I would ask them,"Why wo n''t you come to the church?"
30768If 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?
30768If 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?
30768Many a time I have had men say,"You think Jacob was a saint, do n''t you?
30768My brother, do you think that God is going to reward honor, integrity, high- mindedness, with this world''s coin?
30768My friend, why not call on God now as David did when he came to himself?
30768My friend,_ what kind of seed are you sowing?_ Let your mind sweep over your record for the past year.
30768Nothing but leaves?
30768On another occasion they gathered round Him and asked,"How long dost thou hold us in suspense?
30768One day, when this man was in hiding, he heard his little boy say:"Mamma, does n''t papa love us any more?"
30768Perhaps he was a sort of a Cainite, saying,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
30768Speaking of his reckless career, he said:"How could it be otherwise, when I had such bad training?
30768Suppose I meet a man who is sowing seed, and say:"Hello, stranger, what are you sowing?"
30768Tell me, are these beans the same quality throughout the entire barrel as they appear on the top?"
30768Tell me, how do you spend your spare time?
30768Telling vile stories, polluting the minds of others, while your own mind is also polluted?
30768The captain said,"Are you a pilot?"
30768The child of my love and prayer?
30768The clerk seeing this, said:"Do you think, sir, that it is right to mark those beans A 1?"
30768The employer retorted sharply:"Are you head of the firm?"
30768The employer said to him:"Did you sell that man those beans?"
30768They clothed you and educated you, and now do you spend your nights in gambling?
30768To whom are their daughters married?
30768Was anybody ever more severe in denouncing hypocrisy than Christ?
30768Was it to go unpunished?
30768What are its fruits?
30768What are the fruits of extravagance, of pride, of covetousness?
30768What are the fruits of heathenism?
30768What brought ruin on Babylon?
30768What does he gain?
30768What has become of Greece and all her power?
30768What has become of Rome and all her greatness?
30768What has become of the Jews?
30768What has become of the monarchies and empires of the world?
30768What has been the harvest?
30768What kind of seed are you sowing, my friend, good seed or bad seed?
30768What must be the intelligence and moral sense of people who will worship such things?
30768What was to be the result of this attack?
30768What will the harvest be?
30768What would a man do in heaven who can not bear to be in the society of the pure and holy down here?
30768Where are my friends?
30768Where are the sons of liquor dealers?
30768Who has not proved the truth of the Scripture:"The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?"
30768Who warns like a mother, and who loves like a mother?
30768Who would have expected this result of the world or of riches?
30768Why continue to sear you conscience, and sow the seeds of keener remorse?
30768Why, then, have you sown oats?"
30768Will it be a black harvest, or are you going to have a joyful harvest?
30768Will these non- Christian religions bear the test?
30768Will you imperil your eternity for the sake of some present gain or pleasure?
30768Will you part with that for his harvest?"
30768With 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?
30768Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words?
30768You would say that he was a first- class lunatic, would n''t you?
30768Young man, are you letting some secret sin get the mastery over you, binding you hand and foot?
30768can you help me?''
30768or are you training them for God and righteousness?
30768or where were the righteous cut off?
30768said Coleridge,"would you have me prejudice the ground in favor of roses and lilies?"
30768who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
30768why not make it on your knees now?
55818And he asks if the rite could not be one day earlier or later, and why those"who lived before Moses""observed no Sabbaths?"
55818And how does Tertullian answer this grave charge?
55818But should not the traditions of the third century be esteemed sufficient authority for calling Sunday the Lord''s day?
55818But to say something against the Sabbath, Justin asks:--"Did God wish the priests to sin when they offer the sacrifices on the Sabbaths?
55818But upon the other asking,''which?''
55818But when this is accepted as the truth who can tell what they mean by what they say?
55818Do not many among you, with an affectation of sometimes worshiping the heavenly bodies likewise, move your lips in the direction of the sunrise?
55818Do you do less than this?
55818Do you[ heathen] do less than this?"
55818Does that mean, then, that he is still making heaven, or sun, or man, or animals, or trees, or any such thing?
55818Dost thou wish that he should prepare for me, who is setting before him his burial?
55818For what great thing is it, if a man restrains himself in what he knows not?
55818He then protests against Sabbatic observance as follows:--"Do you see that the elements are not idle, and keep no Sabbaths?
55818Shall we accept this festival which they offer to us on the authority of their apostolic tradition?
55818So he retorts thus:"What then?
55818Trypho asks Justin whether those who believe in Christ, and obey him, but who wish to"observe these[ institutions] will be saved?"
55818Trypho 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?"
55818What sayest thou of the Lord''s day?
55818What then?
55818What work?
55818Wherefore, then, were they blameless?
42558And what makes you like Sunday?
42558Are you sure the book is bad?
42558But what said he in the midst?
42558How is that?
42558Then why do you not seize the Author of it if it is a bad book?
42558Well, what was the text?
42558Well,asked the preacher,"what part of the sermon do you recollect?"
42558Well,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?"
42558What was the subject?
42558What will it be?
42558What, then, was his conclusion?
42558And the root, whom did that set forth?
42558And who was the trunk of the tree?
42558And who were the next?
42558And who were these small branches of the tree?
42558Are there not some who act thus toward the truths of revelation?
42558Are you not going to have any dinner?"
42558Can you imagine what the gun and the dog had to do with mushrooms?
42558Could this prince, when arrived at his father''s house, please himself with the delights of the court and forget the distress of his family?
42558Did he not say to his disciples,"Ye are the light of the world"?
42558Did not Dives and Lazarus actually figure on the stage of history?
42558Does she remember any of the remarks that were made?
42558Have I lived all these years for you, and now must I leave you?"
42558Have you not seen it, brethren?
42558He asks her,"How did you enjoy last Sabbath''s discourses?"
42558He kept taking them up, and saying,"Must I leave you?
42558How could he dare, they asked, to put his own name on the image of a god?
42558Is it a bad book?"
42558Massa,"said the negro,"do n''t you know what comes before de Epistle to de Romans?
42558May not the rich fool who said,"Take thine ease,"have been a photograph taken from life?
42558May not the story of the Prodigal Son have been a literal truth?
42558Must I leave you?
42558Now I want to attract his attention; how shall I do it?
42558Oh, will not some of you take him into your hearts?
42558One 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?"
42558Or, sometimes, I may give you the object without the subject, thus--"A diamond; how will you use that as an illustration?"
42558Shall I put a bit of Latin into the sermon, or quote the original Hebrew or Greek of my text?
42558So he went down to the prior, and said,"Do n''t the brethren eat here?
42558So, when I have to deal with sin, some people say,"Why do n''t you address it delicately?
42558That 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?
42558There were certain dead logs of wood: whom were they to represent?
42558They say,"How do you make these two things agree?"
42558WHERE CAN WE FIND ANECDOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS?
42558WHERE CAN WE FIND ANECDOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS?
42558Were there not actual instances of an enemy sowing tares among the wheat?
42558What do you remember best in the discourses you heard years ago?
42558What finer exposition of the text,"Weep with them that weep,"can you have than this pretty anecdote?
42558What is the use of pulling the end of your thread through the material on which you are working?
42558What shall I do?
42558Where have they gone all that while?
42558Who can possibly read the old classic tales without feeling his soul on fire?
42558Who were the larger ones?
42558Why do n''t you speak to it in courtly language?"
42558Why does he speak of seeing with the eyelids?
42558Why does not somebody write"A Tour Round my Dining- Table,"or,"A Tour Round my Kitchen"?
42558Yet, has it not been the case with very many of the sermons to which we have listened, or the discourses we have ourselves delivered?
33742Also the Devil tempted the poor Soul, saying to it in the earthly thoughts:"Why dost thou pray?
33742And couldst thou desire anything less?
33742And how can this be taken?
33742And how doth a Man this_ so_, as that he doth it to Christ himself?
33742And how shall I come at the hidden Centre, where God dwelleth, and not Man?
33742And how shall it be remedied?
33742And if one of them might, can you ever make me believe that ever both should be here together?
33742And what method must I take, whereby to arrive at this sovereignty?
33742And what, O my Master, would become of me, if I should ever attain with my mind to that where no creature is?
33742And whither, I pray, should it go?
33742But how cometh this entering of the Will into Heaven to pass?
33742But how finds he_ Nothing_?
33742But how shall I find the nearest way to it?
33742But in that thou sayest, Why do not the Souls which are without God feel Hell in this World?
33742But what would then become of the Body, seeing that it must of necessity live in_ Creature_?
33742But will not this destroy Nature?
33742But, alas, poor man that I am, how is this possible as to me?
33742Consider but what thoughts thou hast in his presence; are they not altogether evil?
33742DISCIPLE And how can this be without dying, or the whole destruction of my Will?
33742DISCIPLE But how can these two subsist together, that a person should both_ love_ and_ hate_ himself?
33742DISCIPLE But how shall I be able to_ break_ this creaturely will which is in me, and is at enmity with the Divine Will?
33742DISCIPLE But how shall I comprehend it?
33742DISCIPLE 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?
33742DISCIPLE But wherewith shall I hear and see God, forasmuch as he is above Nature and Creature?
33742DISCIPLE Dear Master, pray tell me how I may understand this?
33742DISCIPLE How can I hear him speak, when I stand still from thinking and willing?
33742DISCIPLE How can it ever be that I should love that which hates me?
33742DISCIPLE How is it that he can get his good friends into his possession?
33742DISCIPLE How is it that so few Souls do find it, when yet all would be glad enough to have it?
33742DISCIPLE If it dwell only in Nothing, what is now the office of it in Nothing?
33742DISCIPLE Is that where no Creature dwelleth near at hand, or is it afar off?
33742DISCIPLE O where is this naked Ground of the Soul void of all Self?
33742DISCIPLE O, loving Master, how shall I understand this?
33742DISCIPLE Pray tell me, dear Master, where dwelleth it_ in Man_?
33742DISCIPLE Pray what is the virtue, the power, the height, and the greatness of Love?
33742DISCIPLE Pray, how is that?
33742DISCIPLE What is it that I must thus leave?
33742DISCIPLE What now hinders or keeps me back, so that I can not come to_ that_, wherewith God is to be seen and heard?
33742DISCIPLE Where is that in a Man, when Man dwelleth not in himself?
33742DISCIPLE Where is the Ground in any Soul, to which there will nothing stick?
33742DISCIPLE Why not, if the Love should be willing and ready to offer itself, and to stay with them?
33742Do I rightly understand?
33742Does not every man, who has lived his full life, know the truth and reality of all this?
33742Dost thou think that God knoweth thee or regardeth thee?
33742Doth not the melody of them all proceed from his Power, and do they not sport before him?
33742Doth the Spirit of God reprove them for not bringing their voices into one harmony?
33742Doth thy Will go forth from the creatures?
33742For if any liveth in God, and willeth with God, what needeth he dispute about God, who, or what God is?
33742For where must all the intellectual inhabitants of it abide?
33742Hath not Christ paid the ransom and satisfied for all men?
33742How can we judge what we have not understood?
33742How is that possible?
33742How not, said the inquisitive Junius, must not the Soul leave the body at death and go either to Heaven or Hell?
33742Is it not surely worth thy while, and all that thou canst ever do?
33742MASTER Son, why art thou so dispirited?
33742Must I not cry out,_ I am undone_?
33742Now what did he under this most terrible assault both from without and within?
33742O how may I arrive at the Unity of Will, and how come into the Unity of Vision?
33742O what shall I do, that I may reach this which I so much long for?
33742Or what needeth any understanding Spirit to be kept here or there, in order to its happiness or misery?
33742Or where is that which abideth and dwelleth not in something?
33742Or, must not the outward Life hence perish, with the earthly body which I carry?
33742SCHOLAR How shall all people and nations be brought to judgment?
33742SCHOLAR How will the sentence be pronounced?
33742SCHOLAR Shall all then have eternal joy and glorification alike?
33742SCHOLAR Shall we not rise again with our visible bodies, and live in them for ever?
33742SCHOLAR What shall be after this World, when all things perish and come to an end?
33742SCHOLAR What then is the Body of Man?
33742SCHOLAR Wherefore then doth God suffer such strife and contention to be in this time?
33742SCHOLAR With what matter and form shall the human Body rise?
33742THE DEVIL SAID How wilt thou see and speculate into them, when thou canst not know their essence and property?
33742THE 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?
33742THE SOUL SAID How may I come to know their essence and property?
33742Tell me plainly, loving Sir, where it is, and how it is to be found of me, and entered into?
33742The_ Scholar_ thanked his Master for this liberty and said: How far then are Heaven and Hell asunder?
33742Thou hast no faith or belief in God at all; how then should he hear thee?
33742Understandest thou this?
33742What Place can bound a Thought?
33742What am I to do in this case?
33742What can I say more?
33742What dost thou suppose will become of thee, if thou turn to be so stupid and melancholy?
33742What dost thou?
33742What 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?
33742What is there required of thee but to stand still and see the salvation of thy God?
33742What must I do to get it?
33742What then dwelleth in such a Creature as this?
33742What, can Heaven and Hell be here present, where we are now sitting?
33742What, 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?
33742Where is the hardship in this?
33742Wherefore, I say, are Love and Trouble thus joined?
33742Who judgeth or condemneth the birds in the woods that praise the Lord of all Beings with various voices, every one in its own essence?
33742Who knows what stands behind this man?
33742Why dost thou torment thyself in thy own Power and Will, seeing thy torment increaseth thereby more and more?
33742Why then should they contend about him in_ Whom they live and have their being_, and of whose substance they themselves are?
33742Will not the Light of Nature in me be extinguished by this greater Light?
33742Wilt thou be mad?
33742Wilt thou destroy thyself in thy anguish and sorrow?
33742Would not Love alone be better?
14072How 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?
14072How is it that ye sought me? 14072 Jesus and Mary?!"
14072Quomodo corruptio invaderet CORPUS ILLUD in quo vita suscepta est? 14072 Who would not wonder on hearing us called Atheists?
14072Whom 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?"
14072Altogether to that which shall be somewhere punished?
14072Altogether to that which shall be somewhere punished?
14072And to what do they amount?
14072And what do those works present to us, on the subject of the Invocation and worship of the Virgin Mary?
14072And what is the tendency of this service?
14072Are they so revealed?
14072As they burst in, and some shouted with a voice of phrenzy,"Where is the traitor?"
14072But by a consciousness of this liability in all things human, must we be tempted to suppress the truth?
14072But can this be so?
14072But closing the holy volume, what light does primitive antiquity enable us to throw on this subject?
14072But does Origen, therefore, countenance any invocation of them?
14072But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
14072But then what becomes of his authority as a writer citing testimony?
14072But what is the fact?
14072But what?
14072But, are you afraid to approach even Him?
14072But, can this be right and safe?
14072Can any words place more on an entire level with each other, the eternal Son of God and the Virgin?
14072Can it stand this test?
14072Can 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?
14072Can the army of angels be included in that description?
14072Can this by any the most subtle refinement be understood to be a mere request to her to pray for us?
14072Can we wonder that individuals, high in honour with that Church, have carried out the same worship to far greater lengths?
14072Catholic, Apostolical?
14072Closing the inspired volume, and seeking at the fountain- head for the evidence of Christian antiquity, what do we find?
14072Could any of us address these same words to one of Christ''s ministers on earth?
14072Could 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?
14072Could this come from one who invoked angels?
14072Dicite quidnam vidistis?
14072Did he teach his people to invoke Abraham?
14072Do Catholics use stronger words than these?
14072Do not ye, saith the Lord, despise one of the least of those who are in the Church?
14072Does Gregory assure the faithful that he will implore in humble prayer of Peter and Paul?
14072Does Gregory bid the faithful lift up their eyes to Mary the sole destroyer of heresies?
14072Does this sound any thing at all like adoration or invocation?
14072Either Abraham was in heaven in the presence of God, or not; if he was in heaven, why did not his descendants invoke his aid?
14072For how could that authority, which derived its flesh from thy flesh, oppose thy power?
14072For if the cause, yea, forasmuch as the cause makes the martyr, did ever a title of holy martyrs exist more glorious?
14072For what are the circumstances of the parabolic representation?
14072For 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?
14072For what would he deny to Christ, who for Christ was about to shed his blood?
14072How can this be?
14072How much time intervened?
14072How, in plain honesty, can we avoid coming to the same conclusion on the subject of the invocation of saints?
14072In an act of all human acts the most solemn and holy, can recourse be had to such refinements without great danger?
14072In terris quis apparuit?
14072Is it possible to suppose that this teacher in Christ''s school had any idea of a Christian praying to saints or angels?
14072Is the invocation of saints and angels and the blessed Virgin to be made an exception to this rule?
14072Is this such an exposition as that the reason of a cultivated mind, and the faith of an enlightened Christian, can acquiesce in it?
14072It was in answer to the remonstrance made by Mary,"Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
14072It{ 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?
14072Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?
14072Knew ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?"
14072Now, on what authority does this doctrine rest?
14072Of what saint in the calendar was ever such a thing as this spoken?
14072On what foundation stone is this religious worship built?
14072On what foundation, sure and certain, can we build our hopes that"He will favourably with mercy hear our prayers?"
14072Or did St. Athanasius think or speak with us, or with Protestants?"
14072Or, who are my brethren?
14072Quantum temporis intercessit?
14072Quomodo mois devoraret, quomodo inferi susciperent, quomodo corruptio invaderit CORPUS ILLUD in quo vita suscepta est?
14072Rather, 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?
14072Say ye, tell ye, who hath appeared on the earth?
14072Say ye, what saw ye?
14072Subordinate to this, and necessary for its decision, was involved the question, What part of his nature, if any, Christ derived from the Virgin Mary?
14072Such questions as these,"Is there any thing unreasonable in this?
14072The answer of the tomb begins thus,"Why seek ye her in a tomb, who has been taken up on high to the heavenly tabernacles?"
14072The greatness of his goodness who can adequately express?...
14072This, 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?
14072To what flesh?
14072To what flesh?
14072What can be a more true prayer with the Father than that which came from the lips of the Son, who is Truth?
14072What could not such a Son obtain with such a Father?
14072What has God promised?
14072What has He commanded man to do?
14072What has He taught man to hope for?
14072What human faculty-- which among the most precious of the Almighty''s blessings is not liable to perversion?
14072What impression was it likely to make, and to leave on minds of ordinary powers and instruction?
14072What is revealed?
14072What is there in reason or revelation to forbid me to do so?"
14072What man, when he is in a foreign country, would not hasten to return to his native land?...
14072What testimony do the first years and the first ages after the canon of Scripture was closed, bear upon this point?
14072What unquestionable moral duty can be found, which has not been transformed by man''s waywardness into an instrument of evil?
14072What word would not apply to Him, in most perfect accordance with Scripture language?
14072Who can tell of the bond of the love of God?
14072Who, without weeping, can relate the rest?
14072Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
14072Why did not the inspired David invoke the father of the faithful to intercede for him with God?
14072Why do we not hasten and run that we may see our country, and salute our parents?
14072Why do we spare ourselves?
14072Why 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?
14072Why should I attempt to enter heaven through any other gate than{ 398} that gate which the Lord of heaven has opened for me?
14072Why then should a Christian wish to add to that which God has been pleased to appoint and to reveal?
14072Will he now have less power and credit?
14072Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?"
14072With the Christian the first question is, What is the truth?
14072Would any difference have appeared in their external worship?
14072Would not this be a welcome tenet, if true?"
14072[ Footnote 95: Quem vidistis, Pastores?
14072and whether St. Luke, whose pen wrote this account, could have been made cognizant of any such right invested in the Virgin?
14072can 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?"
14072or to discountenance the cultivation of those gifts and faculties?
14072others,"Where is the Archbishop?"
14072quid parcimus nobis?
14072to disparage those moral duties?
14072what will become of me, if thou do not exert, in my behalf, thy powerful influence with Jesus?...
14072why 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?
29450And 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?
29450Almost 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?
29450And if you should say to me,"What does it feel like to have found God?"
29450And she suffers horribly: and why not?
29450And who but the sorely tempted sinner can be bonded to Him by the mutual knowledge of those bitter, burning, desert days?
29450Apart from the joy of it, what is the true value of ecstasy to him to whom it is granted?
29450Are there here any truly"innocent"persons?
29450Are there souls who have never left Him?
29450Are we perhaps distressed at this multiplicity of worlds and souls?
29450Are we to be discouraged because of this?
29450Are we to think ourselves less favoured, less loved?
29450But all this is not that Adam may recover his perfection, for when, and for how long, was Adam"Perfect"?
29450But could not-- would not-- God deliver the innocent; must all alike descend into the pit?
29450But 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?
29450Can Angels share the memories of His human days with Christ?
29450Can Perfect Love have caprice?
29450Can ecstasy be prepared for?
29450Can faults and sins be eradicated without pain?
29450Can we climb back through all this, most of it in darkness, without tears, without pain, without every kind of anguish?
29450Can we stand still and receive it like the dew, without work?
29450Could 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?
29450Did He in His wisdom know that if He showed Himself too openly I should go mad with fear or joy?
29450Did not Solomon choose wisdom?
29450Does God, then, when experienced feel to be a Fire?
29450Does He prefer even in heaven to possess Himself to Himself in His First Person?
29450Does the soul rejoice in ecstasies because they are ecstasies?
29450Has this part of the soul, then, never sinned?
29450Have we, then, two Wills?
29450He leads her straight into the woes: will she follow, will she hold back?
29450How can energy be a means of this immeasurable Divine joy?
29450How can even the daily requirements of flesh be fulfilled without pain?
29450How can it be?
29450How can it be?
29450How can so formless a thing, still waiting for its Spiritual Body, be beautiful?
29450How can such a tremendous thing as this be carried out without, as it were, burning the man up with the greatness of it?
29450How can we commence to remedy this disastrous state?
29450How is this Power to be recognised, how is it communicated?
29450How without profound humiliation and patience can we descend from Contemplation to duties in the household?
29450How, then, can it be possible that God can take up His abode with us and we still live?
29450How, then, shall God, Who can be neither seen, nor heard, nor touched, how shall He be made known from one to another?
29450II 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?
29450If I had an eternal soul, where did it live-- in my head with my brain as a higher part of my mind?
29450If it is awakened only by Act of God, in what way can we be held responsible about it?
29450If 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?
29450In sorrow, in trouble, in pain, could knowledge or the mind do so much more for me than the despised body?
29450In the light of these measureless joys what is any earthly joy?
29450Is He never hurt by this perpetual grudgingness of love?
29450Is all this tantamount to saying that when separated from God Spirit- life is less desirable than earth- life?
29450Is 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?
29450Is it God?
29450Is it all joy to find God?
29450Is it all joy to love God?
29450Is it asking of God?
29450Is it happiness, beauty, and light?
29450Is it the learning and knowledge that the pursuit of Truth may bring her to?
29450Is it this part of the soul which we ordinarily speak of as the Will?
29450Is life, then, a poem?
29450Is she beautiful?
29450Is she mistaken in this, and God always to be possessed, but she not dressed to receive Him?
29450Is this favoritism?
29450It may well be asked of a soul which claims to have found God, How does she know that she has encountered Him?
29450It must be borne; had He not borne His own up to the bitter end?
29450It was some form of personal Contact that was needed; but if my mind failed to reach this, with what else should I reach it?
29450Looking into herself, what does the soul perceive?
29450Men had souls, I was sure of that; and they asserted the possession of them very positively-- but women?
29450Must I accept the sick in place of the ecstasy of God?
29450My soul sickened with fear, and I said, Love is a calamity; who can release me from the anguish of it?
29450Not even the greatest of all the Angels can alone bear to endure Him?
29450O my Jesus, my Jesus, must I really follow Thee out of Paradise back into pain?
29450Royal 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?
29450So Jesus Christ calls us again, and where does He lead us?
29450This is terrible; what shall we do-- shall we ask God to help us?
29450This spontaneous Evil filled me with more astonishment than shame; whence did this Evil come?
29450V We hope for much from"education"; but what education is it that will be of enduring value to us?
29450We 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?
29450What alone can enable the Soul to maintain such a position?
29450What are amongst the most noticeable changes in the mind?
29450What divides us from God?
29450What does the Saviour Himself tell us of the means of entry into the Kingdom?
29450What is essential to obtaining this Act of God?
29450What is it that instinctively we look for and desire?
29450What is it that would seem to determine this immeasurable privilege of Access to Him?
29450What is it, then?
29450What is our quest in this world?
29450What is the difference?
29450What is the meaning of all this?
29450What is the very greatest experience of earthly happiness but so much waste paper?
29450What is this?
29450What makes such perseverance likely or even possible on the soul''s part?
29450What was the truth-- what was the truth about every single thing I saw?
29450What, after all, is knowledge by itself?
29450Where is the injustice of this pain?
29450Where was Wisdom in all this?
29450Who can know His graciousness, His infinity of tenderness and courtesy, as can the sinner?
29450Who can share with God hereafter such close experiences as will the sinner?
29450Who can taste the sweetness of God as can the repentant sinner?
29450Who is it, what is it, that so punishes the soul?
29450Who knows the heights and depths and lengths and breadths of God''s forgiving love as does the sinner?
29450Why all this suffering?
29450Why continue to struggle to please God when His interest in me would so soon be over?
29450Why do not all men apprehend God?
29450Why should Perfect Love inflict this pain on us?
29450Why should this most beautiful of all human emotions carry with it so heavy a penalty, for which no remedy appeared to exist?
29450Why this distinction?
29450Why this suffering?
29450Why would He not show Himself?
29450Why?
29450Will she go?
29450Will she stay?
29450Would he give himself so, would he sweat so, in order to find God, or to please God?
29450X If the Divine Lover gives such joys to the soul, how does the soul give joy to the Divine Lover?
29450XII Does God come and go?
29450XIX Who is so blessed as the Redeemed Sinner?
29450XVII How is it that Perfect Love can consent to the wandering of the soul with its consequent sorrow and sin?
29450Yet could this ever be forgotten?
29450Yet in the hour of death and afterwards, will he be helped by this victory of flying balls?
29450and how comes she to be away from Him?
29450is 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?"
1959Do we not dream?
1959I was suffering too much to enjoy this picture at the moment,she says,"but how was it at the end of the year?
1959Is it not good for us to be ever young? 1959 The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?"
1959What manner of communications,said the undiscerned Saviour,"are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
1959Whence came this wide difference,she asks,"between the good and the evil?
1959Why have such experiences as decline, and decay, and death?
1959Will not that life and affection return to us?
1959Am I ready to be alone?
1959Amid our daily business,--in the sounding tumult of the great mart, and the absorption of our thoughts,--do we think of it?
1959And does not this consideration make our mortal life of deep consequence to us?
1959And here I pause to ask, if, in all that scene of agony, anything is developed inconsistent with the character of Christ?
1959And 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?
1959And is it not worth something to make it such a reality?
1959And now I ask, is it not an intended lesson?
1959And 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?"
1959And the relation of a mother to her child; what other is like it?
1959And what is life, and what is death, and what a thousand things that we touch, and experience, and think we know all about?
1959And what report will my soul make in that hour of solitude?
1959And what, then, are these nations- these epochs of humanity- but waves rising and breaking on the great sea of eternity?
1959And yet who is there that, thrown into such a position, would find it for his real welfare, and would be truly happy?
1959And yet, are there not some whose desire is for constant revelation?
1959And yet, is this the complete ideal of life?
1959Are we not also thankful that they were ours so long?
1959Are we not looking merely at the earthly aspect of the event?
1959At least, would it not be a full and immeasurable life?
1959Because God and immortality are mysterious, incomprehensible, reject them, and walk only by sight?
1959Build a tabernacle for perpetual youth, and say,"It is good to be here?"
1959But have we not a close relation to him?
1959But how shall we weep?
1959But must this, should this, be always and only so?
1959But not to enter into so subtle a discussion, of what kind are some of the best communions which we have on earth?
1959But ought we really to wish that these relations might remain unbroken, and to murmur because it is not so?
1959Do not illustrations of this simple thought occur easily to your minds?
1959Do not our deepest intuitions demand that these revelations should be true?
1959Do our affections sink back into our hearts,--become absorbed and forgotten?
1959Do they not conform to the highest reason?
1959Do we begin to realize that in our souls we have derived profit from it already?
1959Do we mark with what increasing swiftness the line of our life seems reeling off, and how close we are coming to the end?
1959Do we mourn that the dead have been taken from us so soon?
1959Do 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?
1959Do we not see how they win the heart from frivolity and selfishness, and make it aware of duties, and quick with sympathies?
1959Do we not see many beautiful offices created and discharged by these affections-- tender and far- reaching relationships into which they run?
1959Do we observe how quickly we shoot by it?
1959Do we perceive how nearly we approach a goal which a little while ago seemed far before us?
1959Do you not see them there, walking so serenely by the still waters, with palms about their brows?
1959Does it, by its death, accomplish all this?
1959Does not your heart of hearts tell you they are true?
1959For 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?
1959Grant that we are driving down a stream,-can we use no effort?
1959Has it not a spiritual phase for us?
1959Has 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?
1959Have you recently laid down the dead in their place of rest?
1959He 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?
1959He has made very tender the ties that bind us to happiness, and can we fail to shrink and suffer when they are cut asunder?
1959He has opened the springs of love that well up within us, and can we help mourning when they turn to tears and blood?
1959He lent it to us thus far; why complain, rather, that he did not intrust us with it longer?
1959How can she bear all this?
1959How can she give him up, with all these memories, these associations?
1959How do we know-- positively know, that it will produce that effect, and what are the grounds of our knowledge?
1959If 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?
1959If the dead live no more, what would memory be to us but a spectre and a sting?
1959If this is not our everlasting home, why should they all remain here to cheat us with that thought?
1959If we were made merely to be happy, why this hostility all around us?
1959If we would have it otherwise?
1959In our grief over unfulfilled expectation, do we cherish no gratitude for actual good?
1959In reply to the question,"Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
1959Is human agency nothing?
1959Is its memory around us like a pure presence into which no thought of sin can readily enter?
1959Is there not a strong bond of spiritual communion between us?
1959Is there not left a moral which abides a sweet and lasting consolation?
1959It goes out in darkness, and the blast of disappointment rushes upon us, can we help being sad?
1959It 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?
1959My friends, what do we make out of this fact?
1959Nay, could that experience be measured by any estimate of time?
1959Nay, do we not begin to consider how through our temporal affection an eternal good is wrought out for us?
1959Nay, 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?
1959Or is it with us, even yet, a spiritual companion of our ways?
1959Or, if we must, at last, die, why all this sad experience,--this incoming of weakness,--this slipping away of life and power?"
1959Otherwise, why should not Jesus be as resigned as before?
1959RESIGNATION"The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?"
1959Say, can we check the gush of sorrow at any of life''s sharp trials and losses?
1959Should we not invoke the glare and tumult of the world to distract or absorb our thoughts?
1959Should we not then seek to repress those tender recollections,--to close our eyes to those pale, sad visions of departed love?
1959Suppose Jesus had stayed upon the mount, what would have become of that group of want, and helplessness, and agony?
1959Take them away, and would there not be a dreary and overwhelming void?
1959The baffled hopes of our mortal state;--what are they but vain strivings of the human soul, out of the path of its highest good?
1959The feet whose wanderings she has watched so narrowly, how can she see them straitened to go down into the dark valley?
1959The religious man takes things as they come, but how?
1959The 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?
1959The 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?
1959Their hieroglyphic pillars, their gray old pyramids;--what are they to the age of Uranus, or the new planet?
1959They are great, they are incomprehensibly great; but are they therefore untrue?
1959They are stronger, are they not, than any attachment to mere things of this earth?
1959This boasted"cause and effect,"this"experience,"what right have we to rely upon it for one moment of the future?
1959This companion of our lot,--this wedded wife of our heart,--why taken away now?
1959Thus, then, do children awaken within us deep and mighty affections; and is it not their mission to do so?
1959Was not their departure as essential a work of the divine beneficence as their bestowal?
1959We ask,"Shall it not come again?"
1959We say to ourselves again and again,"Can it be possible?"
1959What are the conditions of our communion with the living-- those with whom we come in material contact?
1959What are these relations?
1959What has it to do with business, and politics, and such practical matters?
1959What has our skeptic to do with the future world or with spiritual relations?
1959What if Jesus had remained there, upon that Mount of Vision, and himself stood before us as only a transfigured form of glory?
1959What is life, and for what end are all its varied dispensations?
1959What is religion to a keen- minded, hard- headed, sagacious man of the world?
1959What lesson we shall furnish for others,--what influence for good or evil;--can we be indifferent to that?
1959What more rapid and momentary than a story?
1959What shall we do then?
1959What then?
1959What things?
1959What was she until that new love woke up within her, and her heart and soul thrilled with it, and first truly lived in it?
1959What we are in ourselves,--what use we shall make of life;--is not this an all important subject?
1959When I can enter the inner chamber of sainted souls, and conspire with the efforts of moral heroes, and understand the sufferings of martyrs?
1959When Spenser can lead me into golden visions, or Shakespeare smite me with magic inspiration, or Milton bathe me in immortal song?
1959When, with Bacon, I can explore the laboratory of nature, or with Locke, consult the mysteries of the soul?
1959Whence do events come, and for what purpose do they come?
1959Where then would be the peculiarity of his work, and its effect upon the world?
1959Who does not understand the fact to which I now refer?
1959Who has not felt something of it?
1959Who shall be able to say this as Jesus said it?
1959Who shall say, then, that God, immortality, and those high truths revealed by Jesus, are inconsistent?
1959Why athwart the horizon flicker so many shapes of misery and sin?
1959Why puzzle ourselves about their origin, or seek to disengage the true from the fabulous in their history?
1959Why should not the body be a tabernacle of constant youth, and life be always thus fresh, and buoyant, and innocent, and confiding?
1959Why should we suppose that death cuts off all such affinities?
1959Why strain laboriously to settle names, and dates, and dynasties?
1959Why the chill of disappointment, the shudder of remorse, the crush and blight of hope?
1959Why these sharp oppositions of pain and difficulty?
1959Why these writhing nerves, these aching hearts, and over- laden eyes?
1959and is this the way in which we are to accomplish its true end?
1959how can she consign it to the chamber of the grave?
8427Can they be regenerated physically? 8427 Have we not all one father?
8427The 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?
8427Who 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?"
8427Then he said,"You Jesus man?
8427Was some man crushed by the heavy logs while at work?
8427What do we mean by"kingdom"?
8427What were their real motives?
8427What will you leave for him?
8427Where is the schoolhouse?
8427Who can tell what its influence shall be?
8427Why had they come?
8427Will he add to the number of America''s criminals or can he possibly enter the ranks of good citizenship?
8427and secondly,''Can the race be saved?''
8427hath not one God created us?"
27266A 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?)
27266Is 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?"
27266What 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?
2726616, 17 v._ Who are the true Israelites?_ Answer, God''s people.
27266A question was asked, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
27266Again, if the Sabbath was not instituted in Paradise, why did Moses mention it in connection with the creation of the world?
27266Again, is it right and lawful to carry forth our dead on the Sabbath?
27266And God''s people did respond to that call and come out, does any one ask where from?
27266And did not God require them to keep THE Sabbath before he made this covenant with them in Horeb?
27266Are these_ shadows_?
27266Are we_ all_ right?
27266But did they not keep the commandments of God before this company was developed?
27266But do not some of the rest go in?
27266But 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?
27266By what authority do you call the seventh day Sabbath, the Jewish Sabbath?
27266Can it be proved that God ever altered or changed the truth?
27266Can it be supposed that his fixing on upon_ seven_ was accidential?
27266Dare you run such a risk because the great mass of professed believers in Christendom are doing so?
27266Did he break the Sabbath?
27266Did he keep the commandments?
27266Did not God say that Abraham kept his commandments, statutes, and laws?
27266Did our Saviour ever meet with his disciples on the first day of the week after the[ 39]evening of the day of his resurrection?
27266Do you ask for any more evidence that these are the Jewish Sabbaths, and that God''s Sabbath is separate from them?
27266Do you ask for the foundation for this mass of evidence?
27266Do you ask for the proof?
27266Do you perceive that the seventh day Sabbath is God''s first_ law_ for man?
27266Do you think you can be saved by such a_ faith_ and_ practice_?
27266Does he not say that he is the Shepherd of the Sheep?--What, of the Jews only?
27266Does not Isaiah say that God will bless the_ man_, and the_ son_ of_ man_, and the_ sons_ of the_ stranger_, that keep THE Sabbath?
27266Does the changing of the law by the little horn bring peace?
27266Does this differ from the_ law_ of God?
27266Does this look like abolishing the Sabbath day?
27266Echo answers, who can alter this covenant?
27266Has anything been said about the 1st day yet?
27266He asks them if they had a sheep fall into the ditch on the Sabbath, if they would not haul him out?
27266He says"Blessed is the_ man_( are not the Gentiles men?)
27266Hear Paul:"Is he the God of the Jews only?
27266His answer is,"Why do ye transgress the commandment of God?"
27266How is that, says one?
27266How much better then is a man than a sheep?
27266How?
27266How?
27266I ask if it could be so if any of the_ law_ should fail?
27266IF SO WHEN, AND FOR WHAT REASON?
27266IF SO, WHEN, AND WHERE IS THE PROOF?
27266If you do n''t know, why are you so sure that the_ first_ day is right?
27266Indeed it is impossible that the law of God could be changed; do you say it is possible I may be mistaken?
27266Is he not also of the Gentiles?
27266Is he not also of the Gentiles?
27266Is it not clear, then, that the Sabbath was made for Adam and his posterity, the whole family of_ man_?
27266Is not the stranger and all within their gates included in the covenant to keep the Sabbath?
27266Is not this as much as 63,000 years in the future?
27266Is not this the same_ law_ as in Luke 16: 17?
27266Is there an individual with common sense in the world that dare risk his reputation in such kind of logic?
27266Is this a safe rule for us?
27266Jesus"said unto him what is written in the LAW?
27266Now I ask if this looks like Sunday, the first day of the week?
27266Now has this new covenant been broken by man as was the first?
27266Now we ask, if God has ever abrogated the law of the Sabbath?
27266Now what is this faith or"testimony of Jesus?"
27266Now why this preference for the number_ seven_?
27266Of what_ law_?
27266Once more,"One came and said unto him, good master what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?
27266Once more: He says the Gentiles having not the_ law_, are a_ law_ unto themselves.--Why?
27266Page 26: perish with their using?
27266Says one, has not the ceremonial law been annulled and nailed to the cross?
27266Says the reader, what do you think about those that have died in faith, keeping the first day Sabbath?
27266Sick, or well, ministers or laymen, do they not ride back and forth to meeting?
27266The 2d question is, did our Lord ever trifle with or mislead his disciples?
27266The law of ceremonies?
27266The lawyer says,"Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
27266The second question then, is this: HAS THE SABBATH BEEN ABOLISHED SINCE THE SEVENTH DAY OF CREATION?
27266The third question: WAS THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH EVER CHANGED?
27266To what people_ did_ the Sabbath belong at the destruction of Jerusalem, nearly forty years after the crucifixion?
27266Very well then, does not the_ seventh_ come the day before the eighth?
27266WHO ARE THE TRUE ISRAEL?
27266Was not the second covenant written on the hearts of the Gentile, even the law of Commandments?
27266Well then how does it come to be understood at this point of time?
27266Well, were they not all good christians that obeyed and came out of Babylon?
27266Well, who are left out?
27266What are they, Lord?
27266What can you prove by it if it is changed or abolished?
27266What did the apostle say were_ shadows_?
27266What do you mean Paul?
27266What do you mean by_ beginning_?
27266What does God say of Abraham?
27266What does he mean by shadow?
27266What for?
27266What is the reason of this?
27266What was it?
27266When and where has God abolished his_ commandments_ and laws?
27266When, and where did God ever sanctify the_ first_, or any other day but the seventh to be kept for a holy day of rest?
27266Where do you draw the distinguishing line, to show which is and which is not MAN between the_ natural seed of Abraham_ and the Gentiles?
27266Where is the precept?
27266Where was it then?
27266Where?
27266Where?
27266Who is the stranger?
27266Who shall settle this question?
27266Who then can alter this covenant?
27266Who then can change the Sabbath?
27266Why did he say,"Think not I am come to destroy the_ law_ or the prophets?
27266Why then has the church lost sight of them?
27266Why was it Paul''s manner always to preach on the seventh day Sabbath to Jews and Gentiles?
27266Why?
27266Why?
27266Why?
27266Why?
27266Will God ever justify any living soul for attempting to keep one of the six working days holy?
27266Will he break it, then think ye?
27266Yes, 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.
27266and what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the world?
27266describe a great multitude saved after the 144,000?
27266every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it,( does he mean me?
27266how readest thou?"
27266how readest thou?"
27266iii: 31 he closes with this language:"Do we then make void the law through faith?
27266ix: 5. Who believes that the person that refrains from worshiping''idols or images,''will be saved for that?
27266or because he honors his father or mother?
27266or because he is no murderer?
27266or does not commit adultery, or steal, or bear false witness, or covet, or not swear?
27266or rather the Covenant in them of the 7th day Sabbath?
27266our Saviour says to his disciples in answer to their questions, when shall these things be?
27266unless he meant it to be dated from that very day?
27266vii: 19, and says circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing,( what_ is_, Paul?)
27266why not five or ten days, or any other number?
27266xvi: 23) and then state that the seventh day Sabbath commenced, as_ some_ will have it?
27266xx and xxxi.--Which day now will you choose?
33014But 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?''
33014Did they ever crown you with thorns?
33014Did they ever smite you?
33014Did you get some one to take it for you?
33014Did you tell the Superintendent you were not to be there?
33014Do you go to the Sabbath- school?
33014Do you go to the day- school?
33014Do you know if any one was there to take it?
33014Do you know who had the class?
33014Do you love me?
33014Have I received such blessed light and truth, and shall I not strive to communicate it to others?
33014How are you going to do it?
33014Is 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?"
33014Johnnie, how do you do? 33014 No?"
33014Then did you feel bad for that mother?
33014Thousands of men breathe, move and live, pass off the stage of life, and are heard of no more-- Why? 33014 WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?"
33014WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?
33014What are you doing here, my boy?
33014What did you think of the preacher?
33014What makes you cry?
33014What was your subject?
33014Why?
33014Will you tell my father and mother that I died a Christian?
33014A man sent me a tract a little while ago, entitled,"WHAT IS THAT IN THINE HAND?"
33014After some days, he called again on the old man, who said:"Well, sir, what do you think now?"
33014Am I not right in saying that we live in a glorious day?
33014And Jesus said,''Let her alone; why trouble ye her?
33014And if God so blessed the fountain, will He not bless you, my friends, if, as ye have freely received, ye also freely give?
33014And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
33014And where was the prudent pool?
33014Are not the fruits of that revival at Pentecost to be seen even in our time?
33014Are 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?
33014At last the Lord said to Moses,"What is that in thine hand?"
33014But did not the little stream exhaust itself?
33014But if you keep your feelings and your troubles all locked up, how are you to be helped?
33014But was it a failure?
33014But what did he do?
33014But what was the good man''s answer:"Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou_ agree_ with me for a penny?
33014By- and- by a third man called and said:"Would you take a ticket for these meetings?"
33014Can we not do the same as that young lady did?
33014Can we not engage in the service of Christ because we love Him?
33014Did not the Lutheran Church come from the great awakening that swept through Germany in the days of Luther?
33014Did not the teacher get well paid for her work?
33014Did you ever preach on Noah?
33014Did you ever study up his life?"
33014Do we not need a revival of downright honesty, of truthfulness, of uprightness, and of temperance?
33014Do you have any doubt of it?
33014Do you know what the word means?
33014Do you say that He will not bless such consecrated effort?
33014Do you suppose that the young converts are going round to your house and knock at the door to tell you they have been converted?
33014Do you tell me He can not use this woman, that little boy?
33014Do you tell me I could not sympathize with that bereaved mother?
33014Do you tell me that John Howard, who went into so many of the dark prisons in Europe, is dead?
33014Do you tell me that Joseph is dead?
33014Do you think a class of little boys full of life and fire is going to be reached in that way?
33014Do you think the poor drunkard who reels along the street really believes that Christ is his friend and loves him?
33014Do you think these drunkards need anyone to condemn them?
33014Do you want to know how you can reach the masses?
33014For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth?
33014He did not give him a long address on geology; what could that do for him?
33014He died an exile from his country and his throne, and where is his name today?
33014He looks again at the Question Book and he says:"Charles, who was Lot?"
33014How are all the folks at home?"
33014How are they to find out their mistake?
33014How did you get on?"
33014How''s the baby?
33014How''s your mother?
33014I called her to me, and said:''Nellie, what is the trouble?''
33014I noticed this and said:"You are not afraid of death, are you?"
33014I said:"What are you doing for Christ?"
33014If Christ could not do this, how can we expect to accomplish anything if the people of God are unbelieving?
33014If God could use that, surely He can use us, can he not?
33014If we had the love of our Master do you tell me that these outlying masses would not be reached?
33014In our great cities are there not hundreds and thousands who are in some need of human sympathy?
33014Is He going to succeed or not?"
33014Is Henry Martyn, or Wilberforce, or John Bunyan dead?
33014Is Jesus Christ going to set up His Kingdom, and reign from the rivers to the ends of the earth?
33014Is John Knox dead?
33014Is Wesley or Whitefield dead?
33014Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
33014Is it not time for us to launch out into the deep?
33014Is not he that sitteth at meat?
33014Is there a professing Christian who can not lead some soul into the kingdom of God?
33014Is there not a much higher platform than that of mere duty?
33014Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
33014Joshua was not afraid, but he said:"Art thou for us or for our adversaries?"
33014Might 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?
33014Mother, can you believe for your boy?
33014My friend turned upon him and said:"Do you have any doubt about the final result of things?
33014Now, the question was,"How can we get him down?"
33014Oh, no?
33014One of the worst enemies that Christians have to contend with is this spirit of rivalry-- this feeling,"Who shall be the greatest?"
33014People say:"Why is it that there is no blessing?
33014Said he to me,"What kind of a day did you have yesterday?"

33014She took him to the school and said to the Superintendent:"Can you give me a place where I can teach this boy?"
33014Some of you may say:"How am I to get into sympathy with those who are in sorrow?"
33014Such a teacher will take up the first book and he says:"John, who was the first man?"
33014The Lord had to go to him and say:"What doest thou here, Elijah?"
33014The Samaritan might have said to the man:"Why did you not stay at Jerusalem?
33014The other propounded the following questions:"Did they ever spit in your face?"
33014The wise men began to reason within themselves:"Who is this that forgiveth sins?"
33014There are many burdened hearts all around us; can we not help to remove these burdens?
33014They laid their friend right at the feet of Jesus Christ; a good place to lay him, was it not?
33014Very consistent kind of reasoning, was it not?
33014Was not Scotland stirred up through the preaching of John Knox?

33014What shall I say?"
33014What was it but a great revival in the days of Elijah?
33014What would she think?
33014When Philip told Nathaniel that he had found the Messiah, he said to him:"Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?"
33014When the doctor came, the first thing he said was:"Doctor, will I live to get home?"

27852Mother,asked a child,"since nothing is ever lost, where do all our thoughts go?"
27852You are never out of temper,was once said to a woman well known to be much tried at home;"is it that you do not feel the injustice, the annoyances?"
27852***** Is_ Passionately_ the word you long for?
27852***** Then if we_ are_ slighted, misunderstood, maligned, or persecuted, what does it matter?
27852***** WHAT WILL BE MY CROSS TO- DAY?
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?"
27852A disappointment?
27852A fresh rending of the heart?
27852After all... these little troubles, looked at calmly, what are they?
27852Am_ I_ the type of all that is beautiful and right?
27852And for Me hast thou no ardor?
27852And how do you prove to Him your love?
27852And why not?
27852Are there around thee those seemingly less devout than formerly, whose coldness or indifference have estranged thee from them without real cause?...
27852Are there many who try to be of some little help or comfort to the souls with whom they are brought in contact through life?
27852Are they not very much to be pitied?
27852Are those around you wicked?
27852Are you discouraged?
27852Are you full of peace?
27852Are you tempted?
27852BENEATH THE EYE OF GOD, GOD ONLY As you read these words, are you not conscious of an inward feeling of peace and quietness?
27852Beneath GOD''S protecting Hand, is it possible that you can be sorrowful, fearful, unhappy?
27852But is not this a worry, a continual torment?
27852Can you not hear GOD''S Voice speaking to you?
27852Did JESUS CHRIST hesitate to die for you?
27852Do we help him, unseen, towards that act of charity, humiliation, or self- renunciation?
27852Do we pray to GOD that this soul may become humble, pure, devoted?
27852Do 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?
27852Do you believe harm was intended?
27852Do you know what you have gained?
27852Do you long at each Communion to receive the grace bestowed by CHRIST that shall little by little fit you for heaven hereafter?
27852Do you not feel moved, as if your whole being in these words went forth to GOD, offering to Him life itself?
27852Do you not feel something soothing and consoling in these thoughts?
27852Do you wish to live at peace with all the world?
27852Do 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?"
27852Does it seem too hard for you?
27852Does not GOD love us?
27852Does not this simple thought explain the reason that there is often so little result from our frequent Communions?
27852Does the future in its turn seem to frighten me?
27852Does the past sometimes rise up to trouble me with the thought of the many years spent without GOD?
27852Dost thou not desire to do some good to the souls of those thou lovest, but who are forgetful of Me?
27852During the week has not the heart been wearied with petty strife and discontent, interests marred, bitter words?
27852Each has a mission to fulfil; and as it comes from GOD, why not let it be accomplished in peace?
27852For what reason?
27852Has not GOD promised His pardon for His blessed SON''S sake, to all who truly repent and unfeignedly believe His Holy Gospel?
27852Have I made a full avowal and entire submission?
27852Have I more faith in GOD, and more calmness and resignation in all the events of life?
27852Have I not always opportunity to give?
27852Have we courage not to spare the soul the trial that we know will purify?
27852Have you any further doubts?
27852Have you fallen?
27852Have you reckoned the number of minutes that have elapsed since your birth?
27852He is with you, and to retain Him close, Who is all Purity, will you not be more modest in your behavior?
27852He says:_ Continue another half- hour the work that wearies thee_; and you would stop?
27852He says:_ Do not that_; and you do it?
27852He says:_ Let us tread together the path of obedience_; and you answer: No?
27852Humiliation?
27852I smile at the foolish fancies of my imagination; is not my future in GOD''S Hands?
27852If so, is it not the greater merit?
27852If your duty seems almost_ impossible_ to fulfil, ask yourself,"Is this GOD''S Will for me?"
27852Is all this_ nothing_?
27852Is it Thy Will that lonely and sorrowful I am left on earth, while those I loved have gone to dwell near Thee above?
27852Is it not absurd to think that because another acts and thinks differently to myself, he must needs be wrong?
27852Is not this thought one to make you tremble?
27852Is there not a thought in this that should make us reflect?
27852Listen 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?''
27852Make them the subject of our morning prayers, and say to ourselves, Here is my daily cross, do I accept willingly?
27852My child, tell Me of all thy weariness_: who has grieved thee?
27852My friend, do you know why the work you accomplish fails either to give pleasure to yourself or others?
27852Not to bestow thine affection on one who is not devout, and whose presence steals the peace from thy soul?
27852One more solemn thought: How old are you?
27852Poor child, why do you tell a flower the thought that troubles you?
27852Provocation?
27852SATURDAY EARNESTNESS You love GOD, do you not, dear one, whom GOD surrounds with so much affection?
27852Shall I see myself misjudged, falsely suspected, despised?
27852Sufferings?
27852THE POWER OF AN ACT OF LOVE TOWARDS GOD Have you ever reflected upon this?
27852The thought of GOD is never wearisome; why not always cherish it?
27852Then to whom can I speak of Thee this day?
27852Then, why not shake off all this, that only chills affection?
27852To be constantly employed, and never asking,"What shall I do?"
27852To 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?
27852To whom do you owe all this?
27852What counsels can I give?
27852What does it signify if some unexpected command upsets all my previous plans?
27852What dost thou desire?
27852What dost thou think?
27852What is so often the one thing wanting to some devout person devoted to doing good?
27852What matters the tone or the harshness of the order?
27852What 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?
27852What must I suffer, LORD?
27852What wilt Thou send me to- day?
27852What wouldst thou this day, My child?...
27852When have I ever been more_ zealous in labor_ than those days when I had fulfilled all my religious duties?
27852When have I felt_ more free, more happy_, than when having fulfilled all the duties of my social position?
27852When more_ loving and devoted_ than on the days of my Communions?
27852Which of us have not felt the same?
27852Who can describe all the joy, strength, and consolation it reveals?
27852Who is anxious for a beloved one''s eternal welfare?
27852Whom wouldst thou have to help thee?
27852Why be anxious about the future?
27852Why cause any one pain?
27852Why imagine evil intentions against yourself?
27852Why need I be disquieted?
27852Why not prepare the heart, even as we do the body?
27852Will you, receiving thus the GOD of_ Peace_ within, have for those around you kind words that shall fill them with calmness, resignation, and peace?
27852Wilt thou go now and be loving and forbearing towards one who has vexed thee?...
27852Would you be at peace with your conscience?
27852Would you become holy?
27852Would you call it_ torture_ or_ constraint_, the energy with which you shatter some poisoned cup you were almost enticed to drink?
27852Would you live peaceably with the members of your family, above all with those who exercise a certain control of you?
27852Would your mother have given you a bitter dose merely for the sake of causing you suffering?
27852Wouldst 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?
27852am I better?
27852am I happier?
27852and am I not willing to fulfil whatever I am advised in GOD''S Name to do for the future?
27852can I never recall them?
27852can not you see how the thought troubles and disquiets you?
27852have you no mother?
27852have you not GOD to prepare it for you, as tenderly as eighteen years ago your mother prepared your cradle?
27852how can those live peacefully who never pray?
27852however heavy may be the burden you have to bear, does it not at once become light beneath the gaze of that FATHER''S eye?
27852if I try to please and imitate Thee thus, wilt Thou indeed bless me?
27852is it because this word does not please you?
27852no doubt the shame and grief are sharp and keen, but why need they disturb my peace of mind?
27852then what more can I do, good angel, thus addressing me, what can I do to show my love to GOD?
27852to thank?
27852treated thee with contempt?
27852what dost Thou require of me to- day?
27852what matters then ingratitude, forgetfulness, contempt, and scorn?
27852what wouldst thou do for them?
27852when He says:_ Bear this, I am here to aid thee_; you will refuse?
27852who can tell all that passes between the soul and its GOD?
27852why always such seeking for some one to_ see_ me, to_ understand_,_ appreciate_,_ praise_ me?
27852wounded thy self- love?
30609An''does yer honour know who I am?
30609Art thou he that troublest Israel?
30609Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures?
30609Do you know who I am?
30609Doest thou well to be angry?
30609If we preached as long as this what would happen?
30609If_ he_ succeeds, why do not I?
30609Is there any sorrow like unto My sorrow?
30609Lovest thou Me?
30609Therefore 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?
30609Again, can it be denied that amongst us as a people the Sacrament of the Lord''s Supper is undervalued?
30609And how are we to keep this sublime purpose of God ever in recollection, making it our own?
30609And how has the change come to pass?
30609And of what use is any lower understanding or interpretation of the purpose of Christ?
30609And what are the verities whose application he must have experienced?
30609And what are these higher heights to which he has to point his fellows?
30609And what is the cause of this dulness?
30609And what manner of preaching is needed for the service of this saving and edifying end?
30609Are we not told to expect new light as years pass on?
30609Are we quite guiltless of seeking in the Christian Society a forgetfulness of the things that wither and blast human souls without?
30609Are we so full of the sense of the triumph drawing nearer that our hearts are already rejoicing with the joy of Harvest?
30609Are we so given up to the enterprise of saving men that we rest not day nor night for very longing for their salvation?
30609Are we so set upon giving glory to Christ that we long for the opportunity to come to speak His name in the congregation?
30609Behind this solicitude the best reasons lie, but is there no danger to these young people in all this amiability?
30609Beside 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?
30609But suppose that we preached as_ interestingly_ as the politician spoke?
30609Can he forget how the warning ambassador of his hitherto despised Redeemer came to_ him_?
30609Can he forget the mire and the clay and the horrible pit from which a strong hand brought him forth?
30609Can he forget those days of darkness and of shame?
30609Can it be possible, that in some degree, the preaching of the preachers has been to blame for the things we mourn?
30609Can it be that he fell because in the House of Prayer no voice warned him?
30609Can it be that he has committed the greater sin because no reproof was whispered in his ear concerning the beginnings of transgression?
30609Can 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?
30609Confession?
30609Could anything be more fearful than the indictment they laid?
30609Did the messenger suppress the truth because it was hard to utter?
30609Did these men sometimes speak falteringly, and with hesitation, the message in which they asked and promised glorious things?
30609Did they, from the very darkness of the clouds lowering above them, see only the lower slopes of the Mountains of the Lord?
30609Did we emphasise the preacher''s need of a clear view of the infinite, loving purpose behind the work he is sent to carry through?
30609Did 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?
30609Did we say that he must come into a consciousness of the true dignity of his office?
30609Do we always ask for_ penitence_ as unmistakably as we ought?
30609Do we never hear it said that"it does not so much matter in_ our_ circuit whether we have a preacher or not"?
30609Do we receive-- do we preach them as we ought?
30609Do we show them the path"o''er moor and fen, o''er crag and torrent,"to the heights that kiss the stars?
30609Do we truly put before them that high life their spirits yearn to live?
30609Do you say that such and such an one ought not to be in the pulpit?
30609Does he stand before thousands-- a man of learning, of eloquence, of far flung fame?
30609Does her faith wax, or wane?
30609Does her love grow colder or warmer with the passing years?
30609Does our preaching answer these instinctive expectations, these deep longings, these inborn hopes in those to whom we are sent?
30609For what is the Christian preacher?
30609Has not every preacher the right to look upon himself as the possible organ of new revelations to his fellows?
30609Has the preacher never been guilty of turning aside from this theme of his to what the Apostle called"cunningly devised fables"?
30609Has this never been done?
30609Have passing years dimmed our ardour?
30609Have they chilled our love?
30609Have we gathered pulpit powers, or lost them, as the days have flown over our heads?
30609Have we never been told that really the man most needed is"a visitor,"or"an organiser,"or"someone who can raise the wind"?
30609Have we this absolutely essential possession in our hearts, in our preaching, as we have had it aforetime, as our fathers had it?
30609How beat her pulses_ now_?
30609How is it with us now?
30609How often in the Old Testament do we find the record of such a revelation?
30609How run the currents of her life in the days that_ are_?
30609Indeed, is any lower interpretation possible on the face of things?
30609Is it absolutely certain that this fact always works out to the advantage of the preacher and his people?
30609Is it not true that some preachers condescend too much from the word given unto them?
30609Is it too late in the argument to ask what this pity really and truly is?
30609Is it well with her, or is it ill?
30609Is it_ quite_ impossible for a young man to be put in peril by our very anxiety to save him?
30609Is there any need for self- reproach on our part, or can we answer all these questions with a gladness increasing with each successive reply?
30609May we call it the human, the temperamental, dispositional part?
30609May 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?
30609One more question:--Is the possession of this certainty consistent with progress?
30609Shall we venture to prophesy?
30609So then the man himself matters?
30609Stand we here-- each for himself?
30609Suppose 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?
30609The more we think of all that is involved the more emphasis we throw into the question--_how has it to be done_?
30609The 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?
30609There is much of this kind of doctoring and what is the result of it?
30609They should ask,"_ Can it be that even I am guilty of being dull_?"
30609This question may pave the way for others:--Is there anything amiss with the substance of my preaching, with its methods, with its spirit?
30609This were well if the whole truth were told; but what manner of fatherhood is that of which we all too often hear?
30609Understanding of what?
30609Was not one of the Master''s words to us"It shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak"?
30609Was there no message committed to the preacher for that man as he drew near the parting of the ways?
30609Was there not beef to eat?
30609We do not speak of these unpleasant things, for why be singular in direful prophecy?
30609What but the oft- repeated criticism that the sermon had small practical application to the every- day side of things?
30609What can keep him in countenance among it all?
30609What could have been done more in My vineyard, that I have not done in it?
30609What new device of sensationalism had brought them together?
30609What startling announcement had been flung out over the city to attract this mighty concourse?
30609What, then, is it that is asked?
30609Where do you abhor sin as you abhor it upon the slopes of Calvary?
30609Where do you pity sinners as you pity them there?
30609Where is he?
30609Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?"
30609Who could wonder?
30609Who shall say these critics were wrong?
30609Why not begin with the purpose of finding out how much is true?
30609Why not seek for confirmations as well as for contradictions?
30609Why should he not come into the preacher''s department, into the pulpit, into the study?
30609Why the startling difference?
30609Will our brethren of their charity acquit us of the charge of presumption in taking up the theme now timidly approached?
30609Will such as cherish it join with us in thinking of these things?
30609Will 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''_''Who the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?''
57121And 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?
57121And what is His ascension and His glory, but humility exalted to the throne and crowned with glory?
57121And what is His atonement but humility?
57121And what might that be?
57121And what will it be that brings us there?
57121And whence comes it that men who have joyfully given up themselves for Christ, find it so hard to give up themselves for their brethren?
57121And wherein does the exaltation consist?
57121Brother, are you clothed with humility?
57121Brother, have we not here the cause of failure in the pursuit of holiness?
57121Brother, have we not here the reason that our consecration and our faith have availed so little in the pursuit of holiness?
57121But can we hope to reach the stage in which this will be the case?
57121Humility and Faith_''How can ye believe, which receive glory from one another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?
57121Humility in Daily Life_''He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
57121Is 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?
57121Is 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?
57121Is it not the confession of nothingness and helplessness, the surrender and the waiting to let God work?
57121Is it not this, though we knew it not, that made our consecration and our faith so superficial and so short- lived?
57121Is not the blame with the Church?
57121Is not this what Jesus taught?
57121JUST yesterday I was asked the question, How am I to conquer this pride?
57121May 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?
57121This 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?
57121What is His life on earth but humility; His taking the form of a servant?
57121What is the incarnation but His heavenly humility, His emptying Himself and becoming man?
57121What is then, or in what lies, the great struggle for eternal life?

7957Charlie,he said,"do n''t you think it is time for you to be a Christian?"
7957Did you ever hear about prayer?
7957Do n''t you believe the Bible?
7957Do n''t you think that there is something in it?
7957Do 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?"
7957How old are you, Captain Sam?
7957How will you get there?
7957Jim Woodbury,he answered,"do n''t you see him?
7957Jim who?
7957Oh, what''s the use?
7957Piece 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?"
7957Well, were n''t you with Captain Lovett on four of his three- year trading voyages to Australia and China?
7957Well, you were on the Old Dove with Skipper Jimmie Stone, were n''t you?
7957Well,I thought,"this is too bad, but why could n''t I help him out?
7957What is there that you ca n''t believe?
7957You were on the Constitution, when she fought the Guerriere, were n''t you?
7957About this time John asked me,"Well, what do you think?"
7957And then came the question,"Wo n''t you do it?"
7957But 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?"
7957But I was weary with the effort, and as I thought it over, I said to myself"What are you trying to do?"
7957But how can a man believe what he does not believe?"
7957But_ how_ probable?
7957But_ which way_ shall we go?
7957Do n''t you think that, if you had faith, as a Christian man, the Bible would be a different book to you?"
7957How 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?
7957How could he deny it?
7957Possibly within ten miles, probably within twenty- five, certainly within_ fifty_, some fishermen were plying their trade, but_ where_?
7957Then came the thought, How did they begin to have faith?
7957Was it possible that my skepticism had been well founded, that there was nothing in the so- called"Christian experience"after all?
7957We had nowhere else to go; we had come as far as we could; our time was nearly up-- what of the night?
7957What would it mean for me to answer this question in the affirmative?
7957What''s that over there?"
7957Where is he?"
7957With this last thought came the question, How did these men live the victorious life?
7957and 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?''
16305And 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?
16305And 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?
16305And what do you think, children-- did the kite reach the man in the moon? 16305 And what was that mission?
16305Are 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?
16305Boys, are you letting any bad habits grow into your life? 16305 But is this cheerfulness for the sole benefit of the one who smiles?
16305Did 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?
16305Do you like to draw? 16305 Do you like to speak?
16305Do 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?
16305Does 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?
16305Does 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?
16305How about you, boys? 16305 How may we best reflect this light of heaven?
16305How, then, are we to make our resolutions good? 16305 Is it a true portrait?
16305It 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?''
16305Now, what do you think this food is? 16305 Now, what has made the difference in these two men?
16305Now, why did it seem impossible? 16305 Said one girl to another,''Do n''t you think Julia is a splendid girl?''
16305That was certainly a strange kind of an answer; was n''t it? 16305 The great question is, why can they not see the danger?
16305Then why look down upon the poor man-- the laboring man? 16305 What does Paul mean?
16305What does it signify when we do this? 16305 What else did he learn?
16305What had wrought this great change? 16305 What is this great evil power?
16305What is this? 16305 Who were these people?
16305''Are you ready?''
16305''Who hath woe?
16305''Who hath woe?
16305103]"Boys and girls, what does the flag stand for?
16305115]"What was the matter with the tree?
16305127]"Now boys, why did the kite fall, when the string broke?
16305129]"Did you ever hear anything to beat that?
1630514]"_ Did Benjamin Franklin depend upon luck?_ Never!
1630527]"Why did the boys in blue rally round this flag?
1630554]"Have I said she was helpless?
1630559]"And are we not like the fish?
1630570]"Now, then we ask, can the moon shine upon the earth all of itself without any help?
1630580]"Now, I want to see, by having you hold up your hands, just how many of you boys like to go fishing?
1630593]"Well, now, would n''t it be foolish for us to go about finding flaws in God''s creatures, like this?
16305A dead branch, did you say?
16305A nice- looking little thought comes along and says,''Why not cheat just a little?
16305Ah, do n''t you know that when the bulb produces new bulbs the original bulb dies?
16305And again of the lazy hand, he says,''How long wilt thou sleep?
16305And how can a seared, defiled, dead conscience help him to shun temptation and sin?
16305And is n''t that exactly the case with a lot of good- looking, well- dressed people?
16305And what about the first boy?
16305And 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?
16305And what do the possessors of riches expect as a harvest in return for the sowing of their wealth?
16305And what does it mean to be steadfast?
16305And what has come to take the place of these which were only dreams?
16305And what is public sentiment?
16305And who are these experts?
16305And who will it help?
16305And why not?
16305And you, girls?
16305Are they hands that crush heartlessly?
16305Are they hands that drag downward?
16305Are they hands that grope into the dark places and do more harm than good?
16305Are they hands that help to lighten the burdens of other people?
16305Are they hands that help wherever and whenever they can?
16305Are they hands that lie idly and fold indolently?
16305Are 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?''
16305Are they hands that pull backward?
16305Are they hands that slap insultingly?
16305Are they hands that strike in cruelty?
16305Are they hands that stroke the fevered brow?
16305Are they hands that take food and clothing to the poor?
16305Are they hands that tear pitilessly?
16305Are they hands which are busy every day doing good, honest work?
16305Are they?_"In God''s word, we find the hand mentioned more than a hundred times.
16305Are they?_"Or, are they hands that clench in anger?
16305Are they?_"Or, are they hands that clench in anger?

16305Are we a friend to those who need us?
16305Are we crazy?
16305Are 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?
16305Are you reading useless books and letting the treasures of literature on mother''s bookshelf at home go untouched?
16305Are you wasting your time running after pleasures and amusements that do n''t help you to be better boys?
16305Boys, 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?"
16305But I wonder how many of us do a similar thing when we see the real woods, the real lake and the real flowers?
16305But how can we smile unless we feel like it?
16305But were they perfect?
16305But what had become of the original bulbs?
16305But what may one lose when he puts the drunkard''s glass to the lips of a young man?
16305Can you make a five- pointed star with one clip?
16305Can you see the boy?
16305Did you ever hear of him?
16305Did you ever think of your thoughts as your visitors?
16305Do n''t you want this one?''
16305Do we welcome such a man to our homes?
16305Do you get the idea?
16305Do 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?
16305Do you know, I would rather see a boy with jam smeared all over his cheeks than to hear a''smutty''remark from his lips?
16305Do you love music?
16305Do you not see that we would soon starve?
16305Do you plan to study medicine, or law, or to be a teacher?
16305Does n''t that sound strange?
16305Faulty?
16305Girls, is n''t it a pity?
16305Has n''t some alluring amusement or pastime brought disappointment or shame when you thought it would bring delight and satisfaction?
16305Have n''t you been fooled into thinking something was good for you when it turned out to be bad?
16305Have n''t you bitten into any baited hooks during the past year?
16305He does n''t look as if he had a care in all the world, does he?
16305He was so much interested that he spoke to the man, saying:"''Since you are blind, why do you carry a lantern?
16305He was working in a distant city, and there, alone, how do you suppose he started in to get rid of his habit?
16305How 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?
16305How did he look upon them?
16305How do we know it?
16305How many of you ever heard of him?
16305How would he act?
16305How, then, can it be made to produce such big, splendid plums when no other tree in the neighborhood grows such luscious fruit?
16305I wonder if we have all heard of the tragedy of this great book and the sorrow which came to its author?
16305Ice cream?
16305If the wind is blowing from the west, which way do you run to make the kite go up?
16305If you run with the wind, the kite wo n''t go up at all, will it?
16305Is n''t it simple?
16305It 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?''
16305It would be impossible to find, in the world''s history a life in which some imperfection did not lurk?
16305It''s a seedy- looking old hat, is n''t it?
16305Or is it to be like this one?
16305Rice?
16305Should the discovery of faults and imperfections in ourselves or in others discourage us from trying to follow in the footsteps of the Perfect One?
16305So the light will shine on the roadway and we will be able to see where we are going and thus avoid mishap and injury?
16305Then what was the matter with John?
16305They, too?
16305This sounds like a dime novel tale, does n''t it?
16305WHAT IS BEST?
16305Was he happy?
16305We will laugh and quaff; all things delight us; what care we for the future?

21987And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou?
21987Any assurance of His goodwill towards you?
21987Are not these rockets figures of the life of man?

21987Does it pain you above every other pain when you know of something which is to the dishonour of God and of His Church?
21987For what?
21987Have you any self- forgetfulness in what concerns His honour, like that of the nameless wife of Phinehas?
21987Have you any such zeal in you?
21987Have you any zeal at all like that of David?
21987Have you ever seen fireworks?
21987How are we to acquire this?
21987How do you show your thankfulness?
21987How does God deal with those who have gone beyond this measure?
21987How he was tormented with questions, When was the great boat to be launched?
21987How is it with you?
21987How many are there now who act like Abraham?
21987How many who fear lest it should be said of them that they had been enriched by those whose money they had no right to take?
21987How much prayer?
21987How much self- restraint?
21987How much thought of God?
21987How should they know without a teacher?
21987How was he to bring the sea up to it?
21987How will the hearers like that?
21987How would you like to be paid in clipped coin, that was not full weight?
21987How, then, were they false witnesses?
21987I say to you: when you are inclined to cast blame, even when just, think,"Am I without sin, that I should judge and condemn another?"
21987INTRODUCTION.--David says in the 8th Psalm,"What is man, that Thou art mindful of him: and the son of man that Thou visitest him?
21987If He loves us, will He not care for us?
21987If 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?"
21987If I were to put the question to you,"What think ye of Christ?"
21987If we knew that an inheritance of a thousand pounds was ours if we applied for it, should we not apply?
21987In what did this sanctification consist?
21987In your manhood, what have you done in your family, what example have you set?
21987Is God not our Father?
21987Is God short of Names that He should be thus designated?
21987Is all done?
21987Is all done?
21987Is any in sorrow, and heart sore?
21987Is it a wonder and grief to a mother that her girls become giddy, frivolous, and unsteady, and perhaps cause her shame?
21987Is it in any degree so with you?
21987Is it not very much the same with us?
21987Is it not with you as with Balaam?
21987Is it sad?
21987Is it those who are conscientious and scrupulous to drive away evil thoughts?
21987Is it wasted in lounging about, ferreting rabbits, idle talking?
21987Is not this enough to make man proud, to exalt him in his own conceit?
21987Is not this very much like what takes place among men?
21987Is such a battle to be won when we go into it without any desire to be conquerors?
21987It was Cain who said,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
21987Might He not be better termed Almighty, Everlasting, Jehovah?
21987Nature even in its decay is beautiful, and what was it in spring?
21987Now I want to know further, are you Christians in heart and affection?
21987Now for you!--Whither are you going?
21987Now if this be so, how ought we to live?
21987Now what are some of these effects?
21987Now, how did Hanun act?
21987Now, what should Hanun have done?
21987Now, what would he say?--He would lift up his hands in horror, and say,"What is this?
21987On whose side was the laugh now?
21987On whose side was the laugh then?
21987Or dogs to drive them?
21987Or is there much idling and talking when you are unobserved?
21987Or those who allow their heads and hearts to be hives in which they dwell?
21987Ought it to disquiet us in our work?
21987Ought it to mar our happiness?
21987Ought we to thrust the thought away from us as horrible?
21987She was a good kind- hearted woman, who had shown much hospitality to the prophet Elijah[ Transcriber''s note: Elisha?].
21987Some while after, Philip said to his courtiers,"How does Nicanor speak of me now?"
21987Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
21987The master has a strong suspicion where they have been: however, he asks,"Why were you not at school this morning?"
21987Then David answered,"Why speakest thou any more of thy matters?
21987Then Philip said,"Do you not see?
21987Then!--how was it with those men and women who had made fun of Noah?
21987Then, what do you suppose Metabus resorted to?
21987This seems a curious proceeding, does it not?
21987To Life or to Death?
21987To the right or to the left?
21987To whom should it apply?
21987Toss it away on your road home, and make no use at all of it?
21987Was he with his three sons to put their shoulders to it, and push it down to the seashore?
21987Was it so?
21987Was there any such pride of place in the angel host?
21987Were they very eager to gather up the Angels''food?
21987Were they very grateful?

21987What followed?
21987What follows from all this?
21987What good father will neglect his child, and deny it those things that are necessary for it?
21987What is His purpose in bringing back the straying sheep?

21987What said the people in return for the blessing?
21987What says S. Paul?

21987Where is your meekness?
21987Whither are you being led?
21987Whither?
21987Who feeds them?
21987Who is dead?
21987Who is it?
21987Who is this?
21987Who speak thus?
21987Whose is the image?
21987Why is this?
21987Why then do not we trust our Heavenly Father as any little child will trust its father on earth?
21987Why when falsely?
21987Why?
21987Will He not then care for us far more, who are His noblest creatures?
21987Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell?
21987Your actions when young,--did you yield to your passions or conquer them?
21987how do we show that we love God''s worship?
21987or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?"
21987or what shall we drink?
21987or wherewithal shall we be clothed?
21987shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?"

52958How might any pain be more to me than to see Him that is all my life, all my bliss, and all my joy suffer?
52958What 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?"
52958CHAPTER XXIX"How could all be well, for the great harm that is come by sin to the creature?"
52958How should any thing be amiss?_ Thus mightily, wisely, and lovingly was the soul examined in this Vision.
52958How should it now be that thou shouldst anything pray that pleaseth me but that I should full gladly grant it thee?
52958I beheld and considered, with a soft dread, and thought:_ What is sin?_"( xi.).
52958I thought:_ Is any pain like this?_ And I was answered in my reason:_ Hell is another pain: for there is despair.
52958Is it not fitting that I award him[ for] his affright and his dread, his hurt and his maim and all his woe?
52958It is like no bodily thing; What is it then saist thou?
52958Lord Jesus, King of bliss, how shall I be eased?
52958Then brought our Lord merrily to my mind:_ Where is now any point of the pain, or of thy grief?_ And I was full merry.
52958Thou hast lost him, but where?
52958What may make me more to love mine even- Christians than to see in God that He loveth all that shall be saved as it were all one soul?

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?"
52958p. 45,"Where is now any point of thy pain?"
11713Beloved, what manner of love is this,wherewith God hath loved us?
11713Shall we receive good at the hand of the Lord, and shall we not receive evil?
11713What pledge dost thou give for the performance of these conditions?
11713When wilt thou perform them?
11713Where,and Justice,"is the Son of God?"
11713Why canst thou not enter?
11713Addressing Himself to Justice, He said:"What are thy demands?"
11713After so long a preparation of goodness, could He mean to deny forgiveness to the penitent and the humble?
11713Again: Had there been neither natural nor moral evil in the world, what must have become of patience, meekness, gentleness, long- suffering?
11713Age may perhaps have calmed your passions, but what was your youth?
11713Age, disgust, and establishment for life, fix the heart and withdraw it from debauchery: but where are those who are converted?
11713And can you now say from your heart Lord, thou mayest justly damn me for the best duties that ever I did perform?
11713And did He not know the baneful consequences which this must naturally have on all his posterity?
11713And is not an inveterate evil very difficult to cure?
11713And is this sentiment combined with a sacred resolution to go and sin no more,--to devote yourself to the service of your divine Benefactor?
11713And now stand forth ye righteous:--where are ye?
11713And pray what is that?
11713And this effeminate habit I have of refining on pleasure, will it render me only the more sensible of my destruction and anguish?
11713And what a glorious spectacle is this?
11713And what can be my hopes in eternity?
11713And what is still more awful, does He not daily come without either warning or messenger?
11713And what is that?
11713And who can censure this delay?
11713And why then did He permit that disobedience?
11713Are 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?
11713Are we in our senses, my dear hearers?
11713Are you innocent?
11713Are you penitent?
11713But I again ask you-- Where, among us, are penitents of this description?
11713But are we not mistaken concerning Felix?
11713But do sinners owe nothing beyond this?
11713But is the"kingdom of God within you?"
11713But is there no mercy?
11713But what are we to conclude from these awful truths?
11713But what became of the Church?
11713But what would it serve to limit the fruits of this instruction to the single point of setting forth how few persons will be saved?
11713But where are her tyrants, and where their empires?
11713But who can here supply the brevity of the historian, and report the whole of what the apostle said to Felix on these important points?
11713But who has assured me that at a future period I shall have opportunities of conversion?
11713But who has told me that God at a future period will accompany His word with the powerful aids of grace?
11713But who has told me that I shall ever desire to be converted?
11713But who has told me that I shall live to a future period?
11713But with what am I taking up time?
11713Canst thou look upon that scene and not pity?
11713Canst thou pity, and not relieve?"
11713Could you ever say, My sins are gone over my head as a burden too heavy for me to bear?
11713Did He excite in the hearts of His creatures such encouraging hopes, without any intention to fulfil them?
11713Did Jesus Christ ever convince you in this manner?
11713Did Jesus Christ ever give Himself to you?
11713Did ever any such thing as this pass between God and your soul?
11713Did he ever convince you of your inability to close with Christ, and make you to cry out to God to give you faith?
11713Did not the speech of St. Paul make a deeper impression upon him than we seem to allow?
11713Did peace ever flow in upon your hearts like a river?
11713Did 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?
11713Did you ever experience any such thing as this?
11713Did you ever feel that peace that Christ spoke to His disciples?
11713Did you ever feel the want of Jesus Christ, upon the account of the deficiency of your own righteousness?
11713Did you ever feel the want of a dear Redeemer?
11713Did you ever see that God''s wrath might justly fall upon you, on account of your actual transgressions against God?
11713Do not habits become confirmed in proportion as they are indulged?
11713Do you believe that the number would at least be equal?
11713Do 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?
11713Do you not see that this was the very ground of His coming into the world?
11713Does he not assail the prince in his palace and the peasant in his cottage?
11713Does not death advance every moment with gigantic strides?
11713For it is possible to believe that such great operations, as I have endeavored to describe, were carried on by the Almighty in vain?
11713For who could have returned good for evil, had there been no evil- doer in the universe?
11713Has not your heart, and probably your lips too, joined in the general charge?
11713Hath he said it, and will he not do it?
11713Hath he spoken it, and shall it not come to pass?"
11713How can you ascend to the very sun itself, when you can not enjoy even the faint reflection of its glory?
11713How could it be otherwise?
11713How had it been possible, on that supposition, to overcome evil with good?
11713How shall this phenomenon be explained?
11713How, then, do you regard these decided followers of God?
11713If God so loved us, how ought we to love one another?
11713If I can not bear the excision of a slight gangrene, how shall I sustain the operation when the wound is deep?
11713If the features of holiness and grace in the creature are not attractive to your view, how can your affections rise to the perfect essence?
11713If you could only be exempt from its afflictions, would you wish it to be your lasting home?
11713If you could surround yourself with all its advantages and enjoyments, would you be content to dwell in it forever?
11713If, on the contrary, Paul had truth and argument on his side, why did Felix send him away?
11713In all these traits, do you not recognize the Christian walking in the narrow way, the way of tribulation, marked by his Master''s feet?
11713Is the Lord Jesus"in you the hope of glory?"
11713Is there no means of salvation?
11713Long and habitual infirmities may perhaps have disgusted you with the world; but what use did you formerly make of the vigor of health?
11713Might we not thence infer that the truths discust by St. Paul were not of serious importance?
11713My dear friends, were you ever married to Jesus Christ?
11713My dear friends, what is there in our performance to recommend us unto God?
11713Now are they penitent?
11713Now permit me to ask where are the penitent?
11713Now who would not rather be on the footing he is now; under a covenant of mercy?
11713Now, can anything be more capable of alarming a soul, in whom some remains of care for his salvation shall exist?
11713Now, my dear friends, did God ever show you that you had no faith?
11713Now, of which party are you?
11713Now, who are the just and faithful assembled here at present?
11713Of wicked men?
11713Or, rather, far from finding in them occasions of penitence, do you not turn them into the objects of new crimes?
11713Our persons are in an unjustified state by nature; we deserve to be damned ten thousand times over; and what must our performance be?
11713Shall I have neither delicious meats nor voluptuous delights?
11713Shall I, accustomed to indulgence and pleasure, become a prey to the worm that dieth not and fuel to the fire which is not quenched?
11713Shall I, who avoid pain with so much caution, be condemned to eternal torments?
11713Shall it not expand our views, and warm our hearts, and nerve our arm in our efforts to exalt His fame?
11713Tear it to pieces, and scatter it to the winds?
11713That all must despair of salvation?
11713The angels asked,"Why wilt thou not suffer Mercy to enter?"
11713The 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?
11713The 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?"
11713Transfer this representation to your conduct in relation to God:"If I,"says He,"am a father, where is my fear?
11713Unto which of them said he, at any time, Thou art my son?"
11713Upon what claim?
11713Was ever the remembrance of your sins grievous to you?
11713Was 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?
11713Was it not easy for the Almighty to have prevented it?"
11713Was it not to remedy this very thing that"the Word was made flesh"?
11713Was the burden of your sins intolerable to your thoughts?
11713We are all desirous of peace; peace is an unspeakable blessing; how can we live without peace?
11713We are, at the present moment, witnesses of the fact; but who can unfold the mystery?
11713Well, and is it not, to our sorrow, with the new life that is like Christ''s resurrection life?
11713Were you ever in all your life sorry for your sins?
11713Were you ever made to bewail a hard heart of unbelief?
11713What am I doing for heaven?
11713What are the causes which render salvation so rare?
11713What consolation amid their losses and their sufferings, but that of the fellow- sufferers plunged in the same abyss of ruin?
11713What did He do with it?
11713What do I say?
11713What hast thou done unto Him?
11713What hour?
11713What is a penitent?
11713What is the necessary consequence of this?
11713What reception will they meet with, and where?
11713What room could there be for trust in God if there was no such thing as pain or danger?
11713When the sinner is first awakened, he begins to wonder, How came I to be so wicked?
11713When they had thus given an account of who others said He was, Christ asks them, who they said He was?
11713Whence proceeded this fear, and this confusion?
11713Where are those who expiate their crimes by tears of sorrow and true repentance?
11713Where are those who, having begun as sinners, end as penitents?
11713Where can you find such an assemblage of high virtues, and of great events, as concurred at the death of Christ?
11713Where so many testimonials given to the dignity of the dying person by earth and by heaven?
11713Where, then, is the man that presumes to blame God for not preventing Adam''s sin?
11713While Paul may plant and Apollos may water, is it not God who gives the increase?
11713Who am I?
11713Who are they?
11713Who can look for pure water from such a fountain?
11713Who even knows them?
11713Who has assured me that God will continue to call me, and that another Paul shall thunder in my ears?
11713Who might not say then,"The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?"
11713Who of us would not immediately apply to his conscience, to examine if its crimes merited not this punishment?
11713Who of us, seized with dread, would not demand of our Savior, as did the apostles, crying out,"Lord, is it I?"
11713Who shall be daunted by difficulties, or deterred by discouragement?
11713Who shall be saved?
11713Who shall be saved?
11713Who shall be saved?
11713Who will merit salvation?
11713Who would wish to hazard a whole eternity upon one stake?
11713Who, indeed, will pretend to salvation by the chain of innocence?
11713Why was he so weak as to admit this panic of terror?
11713Why, then, do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
11713Why, then, do you hesitate to yield yourselves and your interests to the guidance of your Maker?
11713Will you say,"But all these graces might have been divinely infused into the hearts of men?"
11713You are penitent to the world, but are you so to Jesus Christ?
11713always to remain immersed in the shadows of time-- entombed in its corruptible possessions?
11713canst thou not enter?
11713how little are the terrors of Thy law known to the world?
11713if I am a master, where is my honor?"
11713is Thy ear heavy, that Thou canst not hear?
11713never to ascend up on high to God and Christ and the glories of the eternal world?
11713or Thy arm shortened, that Thou canst not save?
11713or are you?
11713or, with the beloved disciple,"We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren"?
11713that he was destitute of extraneous aids?
11713that"as in Adam all died, so in Christ all might be made alive"?
11713where is thy sting?
11713where is thy victory"?
11713who fulfils them?
11713who thus livest so tranquil?
11713who will deliver me from this body of death, this indwelling corruption in my heart?"
11713who will give them a welcome when they enter an eternal state?
11713will be entitled to salvation?
477473)?
477476_s._= WAS ISRAEL EVER IN EGYPT?
47747Are we willing to take up the cross of sacrifice and suffer gladly with and in the passion of Incarnate Love?
47747But is this really the case?
47747But, it will be asked, how does this view of life eliminate suffering as an evil from the world?
47747Can endorsement of this supposition be drawn from the realm of Natural Science?
47747Can 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?
47747Did not Christ thus challenge the criticism of the future?
47747Do 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?
47747How can we expect to train our children in the ways of Truth if we give them no consistent standard for estimating what is true?
47747How has His appeal to posterity been answered?
47747How has His recommendation to test His words by the Spirit of Truth been obeyed?
47747How then, can the destiny of man be said to be superior to that of the beasts?
47747If so, for what end are these things ordained?
47747If the light of God be in men, shall they not by that light perceive His glory?
47747In short, is a belief in the immortal soul of man compatible with the evolutionary theory of his physical descent?
47747Is not his body an artistic expression of the divine Spirit of Life, in whose likeness he is made?
47747Is not man a dual creature?
47747Is not the one an expression of the other, as Nature-- the vesture of God-- is the expression of the Spirit of Life?
47747Is the authority claimed and exercised by the Church over the souls and minds of men to be unquestioned?
47747Is the training of spiritual consciousness less important than the education and nourishment of the body?
47747Is there not in reality fundamental unity between the secular and sacred aspects of all natural phenomena?
47747Is there really such a thing as the soul?
47747Meanwhile, can we not watch one hour?
47747Or shall we resent the sacrifice of ourselves in the forwarding of His Will?
47747Shall we give ourselves to God in willing co- operation with the divine regenerating purpose of life?
47747Was not the Feast of the Passover, which He was then keeping with His apostles, a sacrifice of blood?
47747What are its distinctive qualities, and how is its presence in personality to be recognised?
47747What is?
47747What kingdom divided against itself can stand?
47747What more fitting material for His purpose than the common daily food and drink of people of all classes?
47747What reasonable evidence is forthcoming in support of the conjecture?
47747Whither are we tending?
47747Without the hunger of mind and body, how could the nourishment necessary for the continuity of mental and physical life be obtained?
9071And what is this but the strongest possible corroboration of our assertion as Christians that Jesus was executed upon a cross- shaped instrument?
9071And, was it a caricature of the execution of Jesus?
9071But can we fairly do so?
9071But did the so- called Monogram of Christ first come into being as a combination of two letters; Greek, Roman, or otherwise?
9071But was the"star and crescent"the symbol of the City of Constantine?
9071But-- the reader may object-- how about the Greek word which in our Bibles is translated as"crucify"or"crucified?"
9071Does not that mean"fix to a cross"or"fixed to a cross?"
9071For your very standards, as well as your banners, and flags of your camps, what are they but crosses gilded and adorned?
9071The references in question commence with the enquiry,"Let us further ask whether the Lord took any care to foreshadow the Water and the Stauros?"
9071WAS THE_ STAUROS_ OF JESUS CROSS- SHAPED?
9071WAS THE_ STAUROS_ OF JESUS CROSS- SHAPED?
9071Was_ that_ what Jesus meant, and all that the so- called cross effected?
9071What, 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?
9071What, then, does this important witness have to say, which bears upon the points at issue?
9071Whether 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?
9071Whom, then, should we rather believe?
37292Children,He asks,"have ye any meat?"
37292--_Selected._= April 15th.=_ Could ye not watch with me one hour?
37292--_Selected._= December 11th.=_ What is your life?
3729210._ Does not the word come like a soft shower, assuaging the fury of the flame?
3729210._ Why was this?
3729213._ Why?
3729214, 23._ Do we, like Him, combine the two great elements of human character?
3729214._ O my soul, is not this enough?
3729218._ 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_?
3729218._ Have I begun this path of heavenly love and knowledge now?
372922._ And how is that to be done?
372922._ Dost thou want nothing?
372922._ Have we no garments of blue, and purple, and beautiful suggestiveness?
3729226._ What is thy_ season_ this morning?
3729227._ Unbelief says,"How can such and such things be?"
3729228._ Is not God always acting thus?
3729229._"Who is thy neighbor?"
372924._ Are you where God would have you be?
372924._ Was the work of the Master indeed done?
372929._ Art thou hiding thyself away from Him who would send thee forth to do His own blessed work in His own way?
37292Am I progressing in it?
37292And have we no golden bells?
37292And have we no ornaments?
37292And he cried out from the steeple:"Where art thou, Lord?"
37292And where are they not set?
37292And wherefore does God act thus?
37292Are our_ public_ duties, the cares, and business, and engrossments of the world, finely tempered and hallowed by a_ secret_ walk with God?
37292Are there not others who would dry their tears if we would remind them of past joys, when we were poor as they are now?
37292Are there not those who would taste the joys of heaven if we wrote them words of forgiveness and affection?
37292Are we being embraced by the world by its honors, its pleasures, its applause?
37292Are we compromising with the enemies of God?
37292Art thou remembering thy double parentage, and therefore thy double duty?
37292Behold, this river of God is full for thy supply; what canst thou desire beside?
37292But let the song of the bird cease, and the fruit of the tree fall; and will my heart still go on to sing?
37292By bearing"leaves,"--a_ profession_ of love for Him?
37292By bearing_ some_ fruit?
37292Canst thou meet in contact with the sinful and be thyself undefiled?
37292Canst thou touch the vile and polluted ones of earth and retain thy garments pure?
37292Canst thou walk in white through the stained thoroughfares of men?
37292Did you lose Christ by neglecting the Scriptures?
37292Did you lose Christ by sin?
37292Didst 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?
37292Do I feel some dawnings of the heavenly light, earnests and antepasts of the full day of glory?
37292Do not little strokes fell lofty oaks?
37292Do not the little foxes spoil the grapes?
37292Do we not need the new sense of Christ''s presence in our hearts and the joys of the Holy Ghost?
37292Do you not see it dotted with ten thousand blessings in disguise?
37292Do you want to speak for Jesus to those around you?
37292Does not that voice come to us?
37292Dost thou need more strength than the omnipotence of the united Trinity?
37292Doth not the tiny coral insect build a rock which wrecks a navy?
37292Has not Infinite Love encircled every event with its everlasting arms, and gilded every cloud with its merciful lining?
37292Has your life helped you to do that?
37292Hast thou no mercy to ask of God?
37292Have you lost Christ in the closet by restraining prayer?
37292Have you made up your mind that you will follow your Master everywhere else, save when he ascends the path that leads to the cross?
37292How are the two to be connected?
37292How can He go till He has healed the Magdalene''s broken heart?
37292How can this be done?
37292How was this?
37292If the world were to follow us from its busy thoroughfares, would it trace us to our family altars and our closet devotions?
37292If we often require the sharp blasts of trial to develop our graces, do we not also need the warm south breezes of His mercy?
37292Is Christ born in thee?
37292Is it a season of great heaviness and black clouds?
37292Is it adding joy to other men''s lives?
37292Is it not a poison?
37292Is it not written of the Son of Man that"as He_ prayed_ the fashion of His countenance was altered"?
37292Is it the season of drought?
37292Is not this the miracle of cleansing which our spirits need in such a world as this?
37292Is so commonplace a scene as the life of the family circle fit to be a temple for the service of God?
37292Is so narrow a sphere worthy to be the object of faith?
37292Is that a reason why you should avoid or not undertake the duty?
37292Is that your religion?
37292Is the King''s image visibly, permanently, stamped upon us?
37292Is there no holy of holies where thou canst catch a glow of impulse that will make thee strong?
37292Is there no secret pavilion into which thou canst go and warm thyself?
37292Is there not work waiting for us-- work that no one else can do-- work, too, that the Master has promised to help us perform?
37292Is thy life like that manger-- precious as a casket, because of what it holds?
37292Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?
37292Let us, then, take all our perplexities to Him and say,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
37292May we not find a great truth in the very position in which God placed His chosen people?
37292McLaren._= January 27th.=_ Are there not twelve hours in the day?
37292My soul, art thou living up to thy twofold origin?
37292Now the question is this-- How can these two be reconciled?
37292O my soul, wouldst thou have thy life glorified, beautified, transfigured to the eyes of men?
37292Of what use is a"seal"if it can not be seen?
37292Oh, has not Jesus stood at your side when you knew it not?
37292Or shall the Son of Righteousness, when He appears, find us waiting, as that painter waited, looking and longing for the first gleam of day?
37292Shall He come and find that we still sleep?
37292Sin, a little thing?
37292Sin, a little thing?
37292Sin, a_ little_ thing?
37292The ark was a great undertaking, but what was it undertaken for?
37292They are compelled to bear the cross, but how does it come?
37292Was not its heaviest task yet to come?
37292Was, then, my divine command a delusion?
37292What are you building inside it?
37292What does this teach us?
37292What doubt is there that will not be slain by this two- edged sword?
37292What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God''s covenant?
37292What is our pen doing?
37292What kind of a structure will be disclosed when the scaffolding is knocked away?
37292What, then, of the majesty all about us, heights, and depths, and wonders?
37292Who knows its deadliness?
37292Why did He say that His work was done?
37292Why dost thou not retire oftener with thyself?
37292Will I help to bear His cross up the Via Dolorosa?
37292Will I love Him in His own night?
37292Will I stand in God''s house by night?
37292Will I watch with Him even one hour in His Gethsemane?
37292Will not continual droppings wear away stones?
37292Yea, is it not an asbestos armor, against which the heat hath no power?
37292You ask,"What can I do?"
37292You have for your security His exceeding great and precious promises, and may say with the psalmist,"Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
37292and why art thou disquieted within me?
37292but would we dally, go back?
37292have not I sent thee?
37292that walketh in darkness, and hath no light?
37292v. 5._ Is it not one of the difficulties of church work that we have more officers than men?
37292ye who sigh and languish, and mourn your lack of power, Heed ye this gentle whisper,"Could ye not watch one hour?"
11981And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters?
11981For 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?
11981And 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?
11981And how is it possible, you ask, not to grieve, since I am only a man?
11981And how wretched do they seem who can not see this light?
11981And if thou choosest to take him, why dost thou command me to slay him and to pollute my right hand?
11981And to the angel you say as Balaam said:"What wilt thou that we should do?"
11981And what are the two blind men by the wayside but the two people to cure whom Jesus came?
11981And what is it that disorders the eye of the heart?
11981And what said the Lord to him who now confest and said,"My lord, and my God?"
11981And what then, beloved hearers?
11981And wherefore?
11981And why did He not suffice?
11981And why was He not seen?
11981Are not other men Christians?
11981Are these the men who reason about a resurrection?
11981Are we so delicate as to be unwilling to endure anything?
11981Art Thou not cast out from comfort of all creatures?
11981As an infant He was suckled; is He suckled always?
11981As such a trifler with holy things how should I dare rise up?
11981As the smitten beast asked Balaam, so I ask you:"Tell me, am I not your ass?
11981Because he was a bad man?
11981Because he was a youth?
11981Because he was an aged man?
11981Because he was good and kind?
11981Brethren, do you see my meaning?
11981But Jesus was willing to die for the truth of what He said; should we forsake the truth in order not to displease men?
11981But do you miss his society, and therefore lament and mourn?
11981But here, perhaps, thou wilt say, what is needful to be done?
11981But how is it possible, you ask, that a bereaved person, being a man, should not grieve?
11981But if God can not will us to Himself by gentle means, must we not be mere blocks if His threatening also fail?
11981But now I shall ask you a word; answer ye me, Whether is the body of the Lord made at once or at twice?
11981But reason asks, Was darkness created with the world?
11981But since we know that believers are blind, ought we not to have better eyes than they?
11981But we must believe that there is a mysterious reason for this?
11981But what were those who have trodden the path before us?
11981But when Balaam beat his fallen beast, it said to him:"What have I done to thee?"
11981But 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?
11981But 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?
11981But whose eyes?
11981By what means shall I become righteous and acceptable to God?
11981By what reason then say ye that are sinners that ye make God?
11981Can the Papists assure me, or any other man, which were the forty days that Christ fasted?
11981Concerning Christ, however, he did not speak thus; but how?
11981Could not the Lord have risen again without scars?
11981Did Christ fast those forty days to teach us superstitious fasting?
11981Did I for this exhibit every parental virtue, that they should endure such a death?"
11981Didst thou not promise me that from this son thou wouldst fill the earth with my descendants?
11981Do I not teach you according to the Gospel?
11981Do we think it has been said in vain that if we die with Jesus Christ we shall also live with Him?
11981Do ye not know how I explained the revelation of St. John?
11981Do you ask me still what you ought to do?
11981Does this Spirit mean the diffusion of air?
11981Either 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?
11981For Christ saith, What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before?
11981For He took bread and blest, and yet what blest He?
11981For he did not say, Concerning them that are dead: but what did he say?
11981For how are our eyes made whole?
11981For of what advantage was it to him that he had many children?
11981For on what account, tell me, do you thus weep for one departed?
11981For what bitterness is there in this cup which He hath not drunk?
11981For what will they not say?
11981For who are we, I pray, to be witnesses of the truth of God, and advocates to maintain His cause?
11981For who was standing before Him without his bodily ears?
11981For who would not have then thought that the promise which had been made him of a numerous posterity was all a deception?
11981For whom do you imitate and emulate?
11981Forasmuch as Thou hast said,"He who hath seen Me hath seen the Father also?"
11981Furthermore, if they say that Christ made His body of bread, I ask, With what words made He it?
11981Has he done so?
11981Have they His cognizance?
11981Have we any cause then to decline the struggle?
11981He did not give way to dejection, nor ask,"What does this mean?
11981He ran through the successive ages of life until man''s full estate; doth He grow in body always?
11981He was born of the Virgin Mary; is He being born always?
11981How can it therefore be that our hearts should not hear this cry and testimony of the Spirit?
11981How can we worthily praise light after the testimony given by the Creator to its goodness?
11981How dost thou promise me a posterity, and yet order me to slay my son?
11981How great is thought to be the unhappiness of men who do not see this bodily light?
11981How 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?
11981How shall I attain to this perfect justification?
11981How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
11981How wilt thou give the fruits, then, if thou pluck up the root?
11981How, then, did the Spirit of God move upon the waters?
11981How, then, is it that the heavens are perfect whilst the earth is still unformed and incomplete?
11981How, then, was it that no part of the earth appeared through the water?
11981If 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?
11981If I had wished to deceive you, why should I have given you as the chief of my gifts the means of discovering my fraud?
11981If good is the stronger, what is there to prevent evil from being completely annihilated?
11981If 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?
11981If, then, evil is neither uncreated nor created by God, from whence comes its nature?
11981In a word, not to dwell long on this, He was crucified; is He hanging on the cross always?
11981In one word, what was the unfinished condition of the earth and for what reason was it invisible?
11981Is it not because He wished to employ them for such a purpose?
11981Is it older than light?
11981Is not this to cast pearls before swine?
11981Is the Father such as I see Thee to be?
11981Is this the recompense for my kindness?
11981Make they the glorified body?
11981May it not be said that we do not think we have to do with God?
11981May not this consideration alone well inflame us to offer ourselves to God to be employed in any way in such honorable service?
11981No doubt the apostles said: How can we believe these women?
11981Now what is it, brethren, to cry out unto Christ, but to correspond to the grace of Christ by good works?
11981Now what thing more precious can we have than the eye made whole?
11981O man, why wander thus from the truth and imagine for thyself that which will cause thy perdition?
11981O wise man, do you think the poor fishermen were not clever enough for this?
11981Of whom spake He, brethren, but of us?
11981On 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?
11981Or dost thou believe?
11981Others run together thither, but perhaps they are heathens or Jews?
11981Philip might, of course, have answered and said, Lord, do I see Thee?
11981Preach 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?
11981Since, therefore, in all other things we differ from them, shall we agree with them in our sentiments respecting death?
11981So I say to you:"Come here and tell me: what have I done to you?
11981Some will say, What do we gain by confessing our faith to obstinate people who have deliberately resolved to fight against God?
11981Tell me, pray, whether in so doing are we worthy of having anything in common with Him?
11981There are some who say, What will our death profit?
11981Therefore man is able only imperfectly to know an incorporeal substance; how much less can he know the uncreated infinite being of God?
11981Therefore, to you also I say: If you believe, where are your works?
11981They are not at this hour in the hands of tyrants, but how do they know what God means to do with them hereafter?
11981To whom did He say this?
11981Was it for this that I opened my house, that I might see it made the grave of my children?
11981Were God to deal with us according to our desserts, would He not have just cause to chastise us daily in a thousand ways?
11981What do ye fear?
11981What do ye say to that, ye wise men of this world?
11981What do you intend to do?
11981What is invisible?
11981What is meant by"Jesus passeth by?"
11981What is meant by"Jesus passeth by?"
11981What is this"passing by?"
11981What is"the deep?"
11981What language can describe his fortitude?
11981What means"the divinity standeth still?"
11981What other ears, then, did He seek for, but those of the inner man?
11981What shall we say, then?
11981What should prevent us from making the confession which He requires?
11981What then should be done in order to inspire our breasts with true courage?
11981What was that?
11981What will they not declare concerning us?
11981What wilt thou have of us, brother?
11981What wilt thou?
11981What, then, is that light which disappeared suddenly from the world so that darkness should cover the face of the deep?
11981When and at what time?
11981When 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?
11981Where are the signs of His love?
11981Where are thy works?
11981Where then becometh your ministrations?
11981Wherein was Christ a very vine, or wherein was the bread Christ''s body, in figurative speech, which is hidden to the understanding?
11981Which of them was in the better light?
11981Who could have trusted that, so many torments as Job suffered, he should not speak in all his great temptation one foolish word against God?
11981Who ever saw such things, or heard of the like?
11981Who is he that crieth out unto Christ?
11981Who is there, you ask again, that has not been subdued by this weakness?
11981Who then are the two people?
11981Who will dare to try to gain access to the innermost shrine?
11981Who will look into its secrets?
11981Why do ye not come to serve Christ?
11981Why do you beat me?
11981Why do you hesitate and go not into the service of the Lord?
11981Why does Scripture say"one day,"not"the first day?"
11981Why dost thou delay about them?
11981Why 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?
11981Why is this?
11981Why is this?
11981Why not rather as the Gospel ordains?
11981Why now did he use the term death in reference to Christ, but in reference to us the term sleep?
11981Why standest thou so uncertain and irresolute?
11981Why, in spite of its inferiority, has it preceded it?
11981Why?
11981Will it not rather prove an offense?
11981Would not the symmetry in light be less shown in its parts than in the pleasure and delight at the sight of it?
11981Would you hear of a sixth stroke?
11981Yet doth He call them dead; where but in the soul within?
11981You suffer emotions and shed tears at merely hearing of these things: what must he have endured at the sight of them?
11981and will not the heavenly life compensate for this?
11981and, how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
11981and, how shall they hear without a preacher?
11981and, how shall they preach except they be sent?"
11981is there such a company of priests, monks, and nuns, and is not faith known?
11981who knoweth not what he ought to believe?
37728''Can you really remember Monare?'' 37728 Are you sorry now that you did not obey?"
37728Can they talk, or do they know anything? 37728 Do they answer their prayers?"
37728Is that the reason,we inquired,"why so many people are afraid to kill snakes?"
37728Kanyama digging?
37728Matshuba, did you ever hear of Jesus before we came?
37728Why then are you deceiving the people and pretending that you can? 37728 Will you come if he invites you?"
37728Will you kill them?
37728_ Chi nzi echo?_and with that as a basis the names at least of many things could be learned.
37728Again we have inquired of others,"Who made the trees, the rocks, the grass?"
37728Again, how were we to find out where we were?
37728Are not these the people for whom Christ died?
37728Are not these the poor people to whom he is bringing the privileges of the Gospel?
37728Are they the people who killed the Matabele?''
37728As to other forms of vice what shall one say?
37728Beloved, does England doubt the outcome of the deadly conflict raging in South Africa because she has already lost thousands of men?
37728But how many months could we live their home life and be presentable in appearance?
37728But what could we do amid such rock- bound customs as held these people?
37728But what has this to do with a good house?
37728But who is this old queen, amid such unqueenly surroundings?
37728CHAPTER TWELVE Looking on the Fields Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest?
37728Could they be persuaded to leave their beer pots and let us talk to them first?
37728Did not the Apostle Paul, undoubtedly the greatest of His followers, unite tent- making with his missionary work?
37728Do n''t you know that the ground is hard and stony?"
37728Do you not know that you are making our work difficult by your lamentations?
37728Does she not wish to be married?"
37728Does the Lord not speak to some hearts?
37728He greeted me with a smile as I entered, and while we were speaking, I inquired"Is Jesus here?"
37728He 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?
37728He had done and was doing His part; what more could we ask?
37728He hesitated, then looking up into my face, said,"_ Isibongo sako sipi?_"("What is your thank name?")
37728He hesitated, then looking up into my face, said,"_ Isibongo sako sipi?_"("What is your thank name?")
37728Her 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?"
37728His brother, while wailing, continued to cry out,"Semani, where has he gone?
37728I asked him,"Wherein do you think lies the chief difficulty in dealing with the native?"
37728I inquired,"What is the matter?
37728I said,"Why did you not come yesterday according to your promise?"
37728In a short time the steamer was again on its way; but where was it taking the little band of missionaries?
37728In reality, however, it is equivalent to saying"How do you do?"
37728Is He not speaking to others to give of their prayers and money for the work?
37728Is her courage failing?
37728Is it something like we make cattle out of mud to play with?"
37728Is it you?
37728Is the native provident?
37728It says,''Who are these white people?
37728Knowing 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?"
37728Many a time people have said to me,"The people in Africa are more eager to become Christians than those in America, are they not?"
37728May he not have any home life at all?
37728Noticing a basket of snowy- white clothes I inquired,"Who does your washing?"
37728On this occasion we found the older people worshiping the spirits, and said to the woman,"How is this?
37728One 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?
37728One of our first aims was to secure the expression for"What is that?"
37728Or is it because the Church is not praying the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest?
37728Perhaps some one might ask, Do those ignorant blacks ever learn to be cleanly and do their work properly?
37728Perhaps( who knows?)
37728See how white my beard is?
37728Shall we as Christian soldiers have less faith in the King of kings?
37728Shall we give up the conflict because two have fallen by our side?
37728Shall we leave to themselves these people, who are emerging from centuries of darkness, to the influence of a corrupt civilization?
37728Shall 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?
37728She replied,"The boys; I send them to the river to wash.""But how can you teach them to do their work so well?"
37728Should then we, such feeble imitations, belittle manual labor, even though it falls to our lot as missionaries?
37728Some one may inquire, is it not possible to secure skilled workmen to do the building?
37728Some one may inquire,"What should I study to prepare me for the mission field?"
37728Something 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?"
37728Stewart, of China, says,"''Agonia,''that word so often on St. Paul''s lips-- what did it mean?
37728The Lord has provided money-- somebody was willing to give it, but who will give himself?
37728The clerk exclaimed,"And Miss Engle, too?"
37728The great question here is,"Intercede for what?"
37728The missionary, as he realizes the responsibility resting upon him, often feels like exclaiming,"Who is sufficient for these things?"
37728The question wanted to force itself upon us, Were we after all mistaken as to the Lord''s leadings?
37728There are so many sides to missionary work, and who can tell which will result in the greatest good?
37728They beg of one another; then why should they not beg of the white man, whose pockets are supposed to be full of money?
37728They said,"Why does not Missionary Steigerwald invite the people to come and dig his large gardens?
37728We inquire,"What is the trouble?
37728We try to comfort her, but what can or what dare we say?
37728We were in these wilds; could we succeed in locating ourselves?
37728What awaited us on the other side?
37728What 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?
37728What did the future have in store for us?
37728What does it mean?
37728What of this chief, who had so kindly received the missionaries two years before?
37728What part are you going to have in those yet unborn into the Kingdom?
37728What part have you had in the winning of these souls?
37728What shall we do without him?"
37728What should we do?
37728What was to be done?
37728What was to be done?
37728What was to be done?
37728When and how is he to give the Gospel?
37728When he found a small piece of lumber which was not likely to be used, he would say,"Mufundisi[ Missionary], may I have this?"
37728Where are you going?"
37728Who knows?
37728Who knows?
37728Who shall it be?
37728Who 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?
37728Why is it?
37728Why 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?
37728Will 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?
37728Will you not join with us that they might be saved?"
37728Will you pray for me?"
37728Would not the best and safest way for the good of the native be to require him to earn his way as he goes?
37728Would that knowledge help us here in these fastnesses?
37728and how dare I say no?"
37728and what was to be their final destination?
37728or does he live from hand to mouth?
37728where has he gone?"
9373And what was the"burden"?
9373But plainly, explicitly, in so many words?
9373But suppose the attraction of the earth were removed?
9373Did you ever stop to ask what a yoke is really for?
9373Did you ever think why Christ spoke that parable?
9373Do we realize, for instance, that the way of teaching humility is generally by_ humiliation_?
9373Does 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?
9373For how, in a literal sense, can Rest be_ given_?
9373How many, especially among the young, has this one mistaken phrase driven forever away from the kingdom of God?
9373How novel the connection between these two words,"Learn"and"Rest"?
9373Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it?
9373Is life not hard and sorrowful enough without being fettered with yet another yoke?
9373It was full of beautiful thoughts; but when I came to ask myself,"How does he say I can get Rest?"
9373Now we understand it all?
9373Restlessness has a cause: must not_ Rest_ have a cause?
9373Then the Christian experiences are our own making?
9373What are the chief causes of_ Unrest_?
9373What is that which if duly learned will find the soul of man in Rest?
9373What is the connection, then?
9373What must one work at?
9373Whence, then, is joy?
9373Where does Joy come from?
9373Why did He not tell us, for example, how such a thing as Rest might be obtained?
9373Why, if all this be true, does He call it a_ yoke_?
9373Why, then, did the Great Teacher not educate His followers fully?
9373Why, 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?"
36662As you beat him, say,''Christian man, where is your helper?
36662I said,''Stop him? 36662 I thought nothing of your fire; do you suppose that I shall be afraid of your smoke?"
36662Of what station in life?
36662What shall we then say to these things? 36662 Will you not even now comply, impious man?
36662After a time Maximus began again his attempts at persuasion:"Will you not have done with this madness now?
36662Again, young lady, what is the price of_ your_ soul?
36662And is it not true?
36662Are you flourishing like that?
36662Are you growing alone?
36662But what does God''s Word say about it?
36662But 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?
36662But why not the mixed garment, of woolen and linen?
36662But why?
36662Can we say with Paul,"Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk, so as ye have us for an example?"
36662Demas, how much is it worth?
36662Did Daniel have love when he faced the wicked Belshazzar and told him of his sins at the risk of his own life?
36662Did Jesus Christ love when He drove the money changers out of the temple at the end of a whip?
36662Did not martyrs of old face death at every turn?
36662Did the Omniscient Inspirer of the Word make any mistake when He said,"The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree?"
36662Do they not have many who stand up or sign their names and join the church?
36662Do you persist in it, unhappy man?"
36662Do you smile and say,"Certainly, dear,"or do you growl and let her do it?
36662Do you think, dear reader, that you would be the one he would call upon for prayer?
36662Does God make provision for any one to have any less liberty and freedom of Spirit later on in his Christian life?
36662Does it not mean that these testings of faith are worth much more than gold nuggets which one might find in the street?
36662Does the reader still find himself flourishing like the palm tree?
36662Has it ever occurred to the reader that heresy is one of the works of the flesh, or carnal mind?
36662Has no other tree started because of your life and influence?
36662Have you ever noticed a meeting that begins to rise with each succeeding testimony?
36662He thought,"Oh, the poor woman is freezing to death and what shall I do?"
36662How did it all come about?
36662How is it that sister can sing and smile when a thousand trials conspire to cut off the flow of holy joy?
36662How is it when your neighbor''s chickens clean up your radish and turnip patch?
36662How long did it take the crystal stream to become muddy like the other?
36662How long will it be if one mixes in with such a crowd till he will be like them?
36662How many men would it take like that to carry the gospel to the world in twenty- five years?
36662How much do you appreciate His gift?
36662How 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?
36662I have something that is worth more to me than gold tried in the fire?"
36662If God be for us, who can be against us?"
36662If not, why not?
36662If the righteous flourish like the palm tree, might it not be well to emulate this peculiar characteristic?
36662If then death is so dreaded in the material world, why should we not abhor spiritual death?
36662Is it not an unequal yoking together?
36662Is not this an extravagant method of spreading the gospel?
36662Is not this typical of Holy Ghost victory in the sanctified life?
36662Is there not a kitchen in your house?
36662Is your abode far off from sanctified people?
36662It is true that some have more talent than others, but does that excuse those of one talent?
36662Judas, what is it worth?
36662May we not take a lesson from these"unfortunates"and rise above every impediment, and yet succeed in the kingdom of God?
36662On 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?"
36662Outside of that, where is the hope of preserving inviolate the purity of the doctrine of God?
36662Perhaps 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?
36662Pity such a person?
36662Reader, are you flourishing like this, and good for something every day in the year?
36662Reader, are you still measuring up?
36662Reader, how much is Christ worth?
36662Reader, where are you living?
36662S----?"
36662S----?"
36662Saul, what is your salvation worth?
36662Shall we sell out Christ for pleasure, or people, or pursuits, or popularity?
36662Shall we take God''s money, and put it in the control of the world?
36662Sister, do you find yourself saying,"Praise the Lord,"when the clothes line breaks, or the bread burns?
36662Solomon, what was yours worth?
36662Some one says,"Was that love that made you strike that poor, helpless man?"
36662Some sentimental on- looker asks,"Was that love that prompted you to treat that dog thus?"
36662The next thing was, how could he get a message from the office to himself?
36662The question is: Have they really been made alive from the dead, or have they simply made a resolution and joined the church?
36662The question might be asked:"How did the arrow head get into that Indian''s backbone?"
36662Then if it is offered up to another, can we claim it as our own?
36662Then shall we allow the trifling things of earth to conquer us and spoil our experience?
36662Then why do we not act that way?
36662Was there love in Jeremiah''s heart when he swore to the truth and changed not, even if he did land in the dark, miry dungeon?
36662We see the whole front of the man protected, but what about the back?
36662Were not most of them won by the aggressive side?
36662What about Samuel and Agag?
36662What attitude would that parent finally take?
36662What comes to the surface when your children tug at your apron by the hour in their fretfulness?
36662What do you say when hammering, and you hit the wrong nail?
36662What does it all signify?
36662What does seed typify?
36662What does the Word mean when it says,"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth?"
36662What hinders you from having a good prayermeeting, or Sunday school there?
36662What is Christ worth to you?
36662What is an unbaked cake good for?
36662What is closer to a person than his garments?
36662What is man''s creative sphere?
36662What is one with this great pearl in his possession?
36662What is the matter?
36662What is the reason, when some people talk or pray, the saints seem to be so glad?
36662What is this life more abundant?
36662What other tree in all the world could so well be used to signify victory?
36662What was the matter?
36662What were the things that were against Jacob?
36662What would the giant oak on the mountain side amount to, if it were not for the storms that surge against it?
36662When our persecutors come, what are we going to do?
36662Where is the victorious life, when life is spent simply in the humdrum of daily routine of selfish interests?
36662Where was Joshua''s love when he put his foot on the necks of the Canaanitish kings?
36662Where will it flourish?
36662Who has not seen the evil effects of mixing the planting of various seeds together, such as melons and pumpkins, or other incompatible varieties?
36662Who wants it?
36662Whoever became a conqueror that stayed always in one little, beaten path?
36662Why do not more people have the wisdom of those in cold climates?
36662Why do not more people obtain it?
36662Why do so many fail?
36662Why not try this method on the Devil?
36662Why not yoke an ox and an ass together?
36662Why will souls not learn to seek their pleasure from the right source?
36662Will you kindly notice the next time you testify, and see if the thermometer goes up or down?
36662Will you leave off your madness, senseless man, and sacrifice?"
36662Will you remain with me?"
36662Will you stay with me?"
36662Would any one question the promptings of love that led those people to give their presiding elder such a beating?
36662Young lady, what was the price of your soul?
36662or husband scolds, or the older children are disobedient and saucy?
38330''How old art thou?''
38330And have you been,inquired the Missionary,"to bury the husband and the father?"
38330And so you have been all day trying to buy rats, have you? 38330 And so you treat your cattle as young ladies, do you?"
38330And who prayed for my coming?
38330Are you a new creature in Christ Jesus?
38330As Clifford''s friend, may I crave the honour of offering my hand to your lordship?
38330Can you pass me up?
38330Did He, sir?
38330Do you men over there know what a sceptre is?
38330Do your father and mother live here?
38330How many of you are there?
38330If you have time, I should like to know how it is that you reject the testimony which_ God_ has given of His Son?
38330My good child, who are you?
38330Now tell me,he continued,"who that man, woman, and child were?
38330Saints against you?
38330What are you doing here with that child?
38330What on earth do you mean?
38330Where was it?
38330Who was they?
38330Why do n''t you wash your children?
38330You have been more than a father to me, sir; and will you please give me away?
38330Your 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?''"
38330After a few minutes the question was asked,"And how did you learn that hymn?"
38330And may he not know the Widow now?
38330And may not this, in some respects, be applied to London, too?
38330And now by way of apology for the sharp manner in which I spoke, may I return your question:''Are you a religious man?''"
38330And why should they not arise, and in sufficient numbers?
38330And, oh, who can tell how many words of motherly advice and Christian counsel were uttered over that old teapot?
38330Are German Neology and French Infidelity the foes to the Redeemer which you would oppose?
38330Are you a Scotchman?
38330Are you a Welshman?
38330Are you an Irishman?
38330As 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?
38330At first the man was sullen; but in reply to the remark,"I fear that you have neglected your promise to read a chapter daily?"
38330But as the"soldier"said,"What''commodation can a chap expect for twopence, when you has the use of fire and water?"
38330But how is it with many?
38330But what good has resulted from this effort and meeting?
38330But where is this great gathering of the representatives of the nations to be found?
38330CAN YOU INFLUENCE THE WORLD FOR CHRIST?
38330Can You Influence the World for Christ?
38330Did the rude clamour come from happy men, Or wild beasts maddened, raging in their den?
38330He is sober now; why should I not visit him in the bar, and deal faithfully with him?"
38330He then announced the subject for discussion:"Does man require a revelation?"
38330Here he looked at the mother, who was in tears, and inquired,"What would you do, master, if you was us?"
38330How are you getting on?"
38330How else for the peaceful army of Bible- women and Bible- nurses?
38330How many visitors have gone to those homes on a different errand?
38330How often do you get it?"
38330I asked,''How do you spend your time on Sunday evenings?''
38330I suppose that she stays until very late at the gaff?"
38330If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?''
38330In answer to the inquiry,"How do you live?"
38330In answer to the inquiry,"How long she had known the Lord, and why she was living in that place?"
38330In reply to the question,"What have you done with the dresses?"
38330Is not that the position of London to- day?
38330Is that what you mean?
38330It 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?
38330It''tain''t''pertinent like, is it, my comin''here?"
38330Like a certain young ruler mentioned in the Gospel, approach the Lord Jesus, and ask,''What shall I do to inherit eternal life?''"
38330May 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?
38330Now do tell me where you are going?"
38330Now tell me if you have decided to serve the Lord?"
38330Now, as none of you attend divine worship, suppose I read to you about Him and the words He spoke?"
38330One evening the young assistant called upon her friend, and said timidly,"You know Mr. So- and- so, do n''t you, sir?"
38330Only this morning, as I was coming to this meeting, I met a gentleman who said to me,"Where are you off to?
38330Or are you an Englishman?
38330Say, did you listen?
38330Shall public servants slave on for our convenience, with no man to care for their souls?
38330The Welsh and their descendants living in London about equal the united populations of six of the principal Welsh towns?
38330The men were startled as the Missionary inquired sternly,"Do you men believe that there is a God in heaven?"
38330The 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?"
38330The 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?
38330The visitor turned towards the man, and said sharply,"Dear me, what can be the matter with you?"
38330There are about as many Scotch people and their descendants in London, as there are in Edinburgh?
38330There was a momentary embarrassment, until the patient, with a troubled expression of face, whispered,--"Who asked you to pray for me?
38330There was only one difficulty, and Tom considered it a real one, for he said gravely,"How is the banns to be got up?
38330They could not understand the question, and the Coroner repeated it:"Did you do anything to resuscitate the corpse?"
38330This remark was followed by a long silence, when the gentleman turned suddenly toward his reprover and inquired,--"Are you a religious man?"
38330To 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?
38330To the inquiry,"What are you thumping there for?"
38330Upon 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?
38330Went ye not forth with prayer?
38330What can lift you up from this abyss of ruin into which you have fallen?
38330What is it that can make you partakers with us of those national privileges which we enjoy?
38330What shall I do?"
38330What should we now do without the City missionary?
38330What, sir, did you hear?
38330When shall it be?"
38330Where the gin palace turns the night to day, And public- house and beer- shop line the way?
38330Which of the meetings are you going to attend?"
38330Why should not all the people be instructed in the law of the Lord?
38330Why then should any be lost for lack of knowledge?
38330Why?
38330Will Jesus chide thy weakness, Or call thy labour vain?
38330Will you accept one of these tracts?"
38330Will you advance on them in their swarming retirements of profligacy and pestilence?
38330Will you leave them alone to fester and to die?
38330With a sharp look at the stranger, he inquired,"Do you want me, Master?"
38330With 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?"
38330Would it not therefore be well for us to seek the required blessing?"
38330and''If a man die shall he live again?''
38330how''do?
38330what 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?''
433191841) asks( p. 17),''Do men and women sit together in those seats indifferently and promiscuously?
43319A single instance may suffice:--S. Augustine, writing on that passage of S. Paul''s,''What?
43319According to that saying,''How shall they preach, except they be sent?''
43319Again, is the pulpit of the Brownist symbolical; and shall not our font and altar be so at least as much?
43319Again, the question of the deacon shut up within answering in the character of the people,''Who is the King of glory?''
43319And Abraham saith,"Shall I speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes?"
43319And does not the building then in turn emblem the purpose for which it was planned?
43319And what besides is there that does not tell of our Blessed Saviour?
43319And why?
43319But if a consecrated chalice be regilt, is it therefore to be reconsecrated?
43319But if it were parabolic, figurative, descriptive, allegorical-- why should not the Church imitate her Master?
43319But is it asked why sacraments are appointed, when without them God could have given eternal life and His Grace unto mankind?
43319But is it asked why the sick and the catechumens are anointed with oil?
43319But what if mechanical convenience suggested the arrangement?
43319But why do they not look deeper into things?
43319But why not take a circle or octagon at once, or the form which is always adopted for the lecture- rooms at Mechanics''Institutes?
43319Called, and how?
43319Carlisle and York have doubtless their appropriate meaning; but who will now pretend to expound it?
43319Did the Paschal Lamb typify the Immaculate Victim in any thing more than its comparative purity and its bloody death?
43319Does not Flamboyant express this?
43319Does not the ground plan of such a church symbolise minutely the then state of church discipline and the{ lviii} conditions of church worship?
43319For if this be said elsewhere only because the work was made, why ought it not also to be said here since it was made?
43319For what else is the pastoral rod than the divine Word?
43319How will they account for the cross form?
43319In what particulars, we may again ask?
43319Is not each act in itself figurative and full of meaning?
43319Is there anything which will dictate any general form rather than another?
43319It bore all other sins, but is it fit That it should bear the sin of scorning it?
43319It may be asked, Do we mean to imply then that a church architect ought never{ xxiv} to undertake any secular building?
43319Just as Abraham saith in the xviii chapter of Genesis,''Shall I speak to my Lord, who am but dust and ashes?''
43319Lucifer was thrown down from Heaven, and Adam cast out of Paradise; and what places be better than these?
43319Now could there be a more fitting expression of this than the Perpendicular style?
43319Now, if we ask, why was this?
43319Of the first, the Apostle S. James saith,''Is any sick among you?
43319Quomodo vocatur?
43319Shall God have denied this symbolism to the latter, while He has bestowed it on the former?
43319Shall we then wonder that the Catholic Church is in all her art and splendour sacramental of the Blessed Trinity, when Nature herself is so?
43319The deacon answereth,''Who is the King of Glory?''
43319The deacon from within answereth,''Who is the King of Glory?''
43319The 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?
43319The material Sun indeed typifies the Sun of Righteousness: but in what particulars?
43319The ruins of Roman theatres are not uncommon: do we fail to be recalled by them to the idea of the Roman stage?
43319The solution of the problem,--What is it that causes this difference?
43319To deny intended symbolism, in the case of such a person, would{ lxii} clearly be absurd: shall it be less obvious to us?
43319What can be more_ real_ than a pyramid, yet what less Christian?
43319What could this be but the finger of that God Who will have His works rather entertained with wonder and trembling than with curious scanning?
43319What idea can such a person have formed of the reality of church architecture?
43319What is understood by the alphabet save the beginnings and rudiments of sacred doctrine?
43319What mechanical reasons could produce Westminster from even the Parthenon?
43319Whence the Prophet,''Wherefore is thine apparel red, as one that treadeth out the wine vat?''
43319Wherefore then is it not said here as elsewhere"God saw that it was good?"
43319Who can blot out the Cross, which th''instrument Of God dewed on him in the Sacrament?
43319Who can deny me power and liberty''To stretch mine arms, and mine own Cross to be?
43319Who can estimate the effect of such pictorial representations on the minds of our ancestors?
43319Who from the picture would avert his eye, How should he fly His pains, Who there did die?
43319Why do not such writers argue that the cross form is not symbolical, because many barns are cruciform?
43319Why does the Mussulman take off his shoes, kneel on his carpet towards Mecca, and perform his stated ablutions?
43319Why does the heartless Quaker go with covered head into his bare conventicle, and sit in enforced silence?
43319Why have the cross at all?
43319Why not have an amphitheatre, an octagon, an accoustically designed Mechanic''s Institute Lecture Room?
43319Why, again, in every case does a screen separate one part of the church from the other?
43319Would 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?
43319are not the several parts of the material building highly figurative and suggestive of the rules and orders of the abstract drama?
43319in its being_ created_, in its rising on the dark world_ every_ day, in its being matter?
43319know ye not that the saints shall judge the world?''
43319or( as the fashion was of old), do men sit together upon one side of the church, and women upon the other?''
43319shall 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_?''
11553A singing school,said his wife,"how will you do that?"
11553But how do you know He hears you?
11553But how is this,I inquired,"How did you know of_ me_?"
11553But 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?"
11553Come for what?
11553Did you ever hear that I lived here?
11553Did you repeat the collect I taught you?
11553Do they come every time, auntie? 11553 Do you think so, Johnny?"
11553Does not this little incident illustrate the power of prayer? 11553 How is it you never signed before?"
11553How is this?
11553I 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?''
11553If 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_?''"
11553Is anybody with him?
11553Is anything too hard for the Lord?
11553Is that his habit so early in the morning?
11553Mother, will you pray now to Jesus to cure me_? 11553 No, my child-- why do you ask that?"
11553One 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?"
11553She said not a word-- why should she? 11553 To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal?
11553Well, Tom, what gives you so much joy?
11553Well, William, how are you?
11553Well, but how did you pray?
11553Well, did you get the flour?
11553What are you looking at, Tom?
11553Why, Johnny, should your sister read the Bible?
11553Why, why was I left, old and rheumatic and useless, and Mary, a smart, busy, capable woman taken away without a minute''s warning?
11553Yes,I replied,"but,"-- Before I could go farther he again interrupted me:"Oh, Doctor, is there nothing, nothing that will save her?
11553You 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?''
1155318:9; remarking,''Are not those precious promises?
11553A little girl about four years of age being asked,"Why do you pray to God?"
11553After the ordinary salutation, he asked:(_ ¿de adonde vienen y adonde van?_)''From whence have you come, and where are you going?''
11553After the ordinary salutation, he asked:(_ ¿de adonde vienen y adonde van?_)''From whence have you come, and where are you going?''
11553And could not the same Lord who chose to heal through medicines, also heal without them?
11553And why should it not?
11553And would you sooner rest your decision on a gambler''s test, than on God''s promise?
11553Are you not concerned about your welfare?''
11553As Mrs. Furlong went to give it, Miss Jordan said to her,"Do you want to throw that medicine away?"
11553But how?
11553But the morning studies produced no change in the unsettled state of the question, what shall I preach from to- day?
11553By- and- by the question was repeated,"Mamma, are you there?"
11553Can nobody, nobody save my sister?"
11553Can that be for us?
11553Can there be any true life of faith that does not include this?
11553Can we have any better guide?"
11553Can you not see that his paying that money back, is a simple impossibility?"
11553Could he give these up?
11553Could she kneel and thank the Lord?
11553Could she move her hand?
11553Dear Christian reader, shall the wonderful manifestation of that"purpose"strengthen your faith?
11553Did an angel from heaven bring the money?''
11553Do n''t you see Jesus has cured me?
11553Do you believe he will, Laura?''
11553Do you go to the Bible for everything?"
11553Does not the expression,"Our_ daily_ bread,"mean just this?
11553H.--"Well, perhaps so; but the question with me in such cases, is this: What is duty?
11553H.--"Why not?
11553Have you any special need of five dollars now?
11553Have you ever gone to the Lord as directed above, and found in Him, as David did, a very present help in time of trouble?
11553Have you no money?''
11553He comes to our house, and we have no carpet; I am sure He must come here very often, does n''t He?''
11553He is here now, Annie; ca n''t you feel Him near?
11553He said,''I heard you pray-- you want money, do you?
11553He 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?"
11553I inquired of the Bishop,''How did you recover from your sickness?''
11553I promptly responded,"Yes, I will go?"
11553I said,''Mc, what''s up now?''
11553I stated all the circumstances of my illness, and was asked if I could trust God to heal me?
11553I stepped down the steps to her, and asked,''What is the matter?''
11553I wanted a new hat so much; and the question arose in my mind,''What am I going to do about it?''
11553I 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_?''
11553I, poor faithless one, was wondering what does this mean?
11553If the mother, may call in a second physician, to suggest the cause and the cure, may she not call on God?
11553In about an hour, he returned and started back, inquiring,''_ What have you done?''
11553In deep distress, I looked upon the threatening elements, exclaiming over and over,"What shall I do?"
11553In his business hours the thought came over him with the depth of emotion,"WHAT CAN I DO?
11553In the morning, I said,''Laura, did you sleep well last night?''
11553Is it any objection to that faith to say, the age of miracles is past?
11553Is it, then, always permitted for me to pray thus unconditionally respecting temporal concerns?
11553Is my reader a poor Christian?
11553Is there no evidence in this of a special providence, and that God listens to the prayers of persecuted and distressed children?
11553Melancthon roused, looked in the face of Luther, and said,"O Luther, is this you?
11553Might her boy ride down to the wharf and see him off?
11553Miss Jordan went toward her and said,"Mother, do you want your cane?"
11553Must I leave preaching, and attend to a vexatious lawsuit?
11553My sister says,''Annie, did you order them?''
11553Now it seemed sure that he was a rogue, but what could be done?
11553Placing my hand on his shoulder, I asked,''_ Has n''t God answered the prayer_?''
11553Presently she returned and said,''Are you a Christian?''
11553Q.--"Well; what do you see?"
11553Reaching our port they inquired,''Where have you been through the gale?''
11553Realizing the scrutiny and doubt with which I was observed, I said to my father,''What do you think?''
11553Said he to himself,''What shall I do?
11553Said 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_?''
11553Said they,"Did you see a woman sitting over there,"describing her?
11553Shall not the living God have the same right?
11553She said,"Please tell me if any one sent you here?"
11553So the thought kept in my heart,''Why ca n''t I pray for one?''
11553Some of the persons in the room were weeping, others laughing; the sons came nearer the bed, and asked,"Mother, do you know me?
11553Sometimes the thought would intrude,''How can you ask for any given sum-- how do you expect it will come?''
11553The gentleman asked,"Can you read?"
11553The little daughter thought that something extraordinary must have happened; and running to her mother with open arms, asked eagerly:''What is it?
11553The question of our Lord in Luke xviii., 8,"When the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth?"
11553Then I asked him,''Is the road safe between us and Matamoras?''
11553Then it seemed to her that the Saviour came to her and said,''M----, what aileth thee?''
11553Then she waited as if for an answer, and then added,''_ Wo n''t you, please, God_?''
11553Then turning to the younger sister, he said,"_ How is it, are n''t your shoes worn out?
11553There was a time when his healing power went forth directly; might it not be put forth directly still?"
11553There,"she exclaimed,"can that be what he meant?
11553They gathered around her, and said,"Are you not healed, mother?"
11553They said,"Did you see a man sitting in the house while you was preaching to- day?"
11553WAS IT INSTANTANEOUS?
11553Was he necessarily restricted to the one means?
11553Was 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?
11553Was she not fully answered?
11553We looked at each other; I could not say a word, until she said,''What does it all mean?
11553Well, what will you do for yourself?
11553What could I do?
11553What could the mother say?
11553What now was to be done?
11553What possible connection could they have?
11553What say you, gentlemen?"
11553What shall I do to bear up under this?''
11553What shall I do?''
11553What should be done?
11553What the doctor can do for a fellow- practitioner, can not the Great Physician do?
11553What was it that made those ministers so sure-- what was it that made the patient recover, at the exact hour that they prayed?
11553What was to be done?
11553What''s the use seein''?
11553When she had finished, the child( but four years of age) said to her mother,"Dear Mother, may I not offer up one more prayer?"
11553Where had these pieces of silver come from?
11553Where was his money to come from?
11553While 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?"
11553Who was it that knew of the$ 4 waiting in that pocket and prompted that hand to take it out and give it away?
11553Who was it that led that missionary to obtain and send relief just as she was praying for that special amount?
11553Who was it that sent the home missionary to the office of a person he had never seen or known?
11553Who was it that sent the landlord to the lady and fixed that amount of$ 4 in his mind?
11553Why did you go and pray?''
11553Why should not the sick be healed in answer to the prayer of faith?
11553Will He not, dear father, hear our prayers for bread_?"
11553Will he ever again hear the sweet, sad voice,''Wherefore didst thou doubt?''"
11553Will you take it of me?"
11553With the well hand she stretched out her paralyzed hand on the table and said:"Dear Lord, will you heal me?"
11553Would it not be well for Christians to"test"where they can not understand?
11553Would n''t that be a singing school?
11553You 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?
11553did you start the singing school?"
11553do you know me?"
11553hath he spoken and shall he not make it good?
11553he repeated, angrily;"you little thief, what brought you here, then?"
11553he said, roughly;"where is your money?"
11553said I, with surprise,''no letters?''
11553she cried,''there comes an awful tempest, and what_ is_ to become of my corn?''
11553what was it?"
11627But what evil has He done, and what reason hast thou to abandon Him in this manner?
11627Do 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?"
11627Know 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?
11627O Lord, what wilt thou give me?
11627What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
11627Why should it be thought a thing incredible( that is, impossible) with you, that God should raise the dead?
11627Adore leeks and garlic, and shed penitential tears at the smell of a deified onion?
11627All that is liable to question is, whether we are to conceive in Him any like resentments of such cases, in His present glorified state?
11627And 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?"
11627And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late?
11627And is He not now worth your highest estimation and dearest affection?
11627And is not Christ worth the seeking?
11627And is not evil come upon all the world for one sin of Adam?
11627And is not the Savior still a subject of ridicule to the libertine spirits which compose them?
11627And is this faith?
11627And shall we not bear our punishment with patience?
11627And what do we, when, possest of the spirit of the world, we resist a grace which solicits us, which presses us to obey God?
11627And why should God make it known?
11627And why should he appeal to them concerning the credibility of this matter if it be a thing incredible to natural reason?
11627Angels admire them, whom they less concern, and shall redeemed sinners make light of them?
11627Are all that hear me this day certain they shall be saved?
11627Are not the ordinances always losers when anything of your own cometh in competition?
11627Are we not happy, indeed, in being able to obtain so great a blessing by only asking for it?
11627Are you no more near or dear to yourselves than to make light of your own happiness or misery?
11627Are you so hasty?
11627Art thou resolved to strip?
11627As a man, what art thou but a worm to God?
11627Ask the question, by what power was it whereby Abraham was enabled to yield obedience to the Lord?
11627Because 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?
11627Behold thy pleasure on the one hand, and thy God on the other: for which of the two dost thou declare thyself?
11627Bow himself before a cat?
11627But how should a poor soul do to run?
11627But is not this a shame for them that are such?
11627But must we confess that this filial confidence is wanting in all our prayers?
11627But 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?
11627But when hear we such questions?
11627But wherein, then, according to their opinion, did this image of God consist?
11627But you will say, may not a man have faith, and not that fruit you speak of?
11627Can He demand less of us than that we should think of what we say to Him?
11627Can not men be saved without so much ado?
11627Can you escape without a Christ?
11627Can you find fault if you miss of the salvation which you slighted?
11627Can you make this prayer-- you who disturb His reign in your heart by so many impure and vain desires?
11627Can you not do as your neighbors do, carry the world, sin, lust, pleasure, profit, esteem among men, along with you?
11627Can you not stay and take these along with you?
11627Canst thou think His deceitful tears?
11627Conscience, which, in spite of ourselves, presides in us as judge, said inwardly to us,"What art thou going to do?
11627Consider, 4. Who is it that sends this weighty message to you?
11627Dare we hope that He will listen to us, and think of us, when we forget ourselves in the midst of our prayers?
11627Did not God strike Korah and his company with fire from heaven?
11627Do not some of your consciences by this time smite you, and say, I am the man that have made light of my salvation?
11627Do not these make light of Christ and salvation?
11627Do 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?
11627Do not those then make light of Christ and salvation that think of them so seldom and coldly in comparison of other things?
11627Do you not see by this time what a case that soul is in that maketh light of Christ and salvation?
11627Do you see him as he rushes on to victory or death?
11627Do you think that Christ shed His blood to save them that continue to make light of it?
11627Doth it not behoove you beforehand to think of these things?
11627Doth not prayer pay for it?
11627Doth not that soul make light of all these that thinks his ease more worth than they?
11627Doth not the Word pay for it?
11627For is it not strange that a rational man should worship an ox, nay, the image of an ox?
11627For who can resist Him who is almighty?
11627God will judge impartially; why should not we do so?
11627God''s people wish well to the souls of others, and wilt not thou wish well to thine own?
11627Has there ever been beheld in two men virtues such as these in characters so different, not to say diametrically opposite?
11627Hath he no cause to fear lest the things of his peace should be forever hid from his eyes?
11627Have you a secret of importance?
11627Have you found a better friend, a greater and a surer happiness than this?
11627Have you gone to them, and told them the doubtfulness of your case, and asked their help in the judging of your condition?
11627Have you nobody to inquire of, that might help you in such a work?
11627His, who never knew guile?
11627How can He grant you, says St. Augustine, what you do not yourself desire to receive?
11627How do you tremble at the wrath and threatenings of a mortal man?
11627How much more will it perplex thee to think that thou hadst not a care of thine own?
11627How shalt thou look upon Him that fainted and died for love of thee, and thou didst scorn His miraculous mercies?
11627How 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?
11627If he be accurst that sets light by father or mother, what then is he that sets light by Christ?
11627If thou now say, Which is the way?
11627If we look into hearts, shall we not find that we ask of God as if we had never before received benefits from Him?
11627Is Dives, then, any better than Lazarus?
11627Is it not God Himself?
11627Is it not evident, then, that you are not under the command of the Word?
11627Is it not your own?
11627Is not Abraham contented with this?
11627Is not everlasting salvation worth more than all this?
11627Is not prayer our resource only when all others have failed us?
11627Is not virtue either unknown or despised?
11627Is self- love lost?
11627Is that a man or a clod of clay that can rise or lie down without being deeply affected with his everlasting estate?
11627Is that a man or a corpse that is not affected with matters of this moment?
11627Is the mystery of the cross then nothing to you?
11627Is there not another way besides this?
11627Is this the man who carried cities by storm and won great battles?
11627It is no less than miracles of love and mercy that He hath showed to us; and yet shall we slight them after all?
11627It may be thou hast a father, mother, brother, etc., going post- haste to heaven, wouldst thou be willing to be left behind them?
11627May not a man have a good heart to Godward, altho he can not find that ability in matter of fruitfulness?
11627No; mark how he pleadeth with God:"Lord God( saith he), what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless?"
11627O Lord, that men did but know what everlasting glory and everlasting torments are: would they then hear us as they do?
11627Oh, what thoughts have drunkards and adulterers, etc., of Christ, that will not part with the basest lust for Him?
11627Or art thou not?
11627Or how shall a man know what is the true fruit of faith, indeed, whereby he may discern his own estate?
11627Ought we to complain if God sometimes leaves us to obscurity, and doubt, and temptation?
11627Shall not the Redeemer''s tears move thee?
11627Shall the God of heaven speak and men make light of it?
11627Shall we not discover there a secret infidelity that renders us unworthy of His goodness?
11627So here, when several have had the same body, whose shall it be at the resurrection?
11627So 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?
11627So that the meaning of St. Paul''s question is,"why should it be thought a thing impossible that God should raise the dead?"
11627That all these people wish to improve, desire to perform their duty toward God and man better, and yet fail?
11627That he should fawn upon his dog?
11627That the case is in itself most deplorable, who sees not?
11627That 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?
11627The devils never had a savior offered to them; but thou hast, and dost thou yet make light of Him?
11627The effect of this consideration is this: That if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the wicked and the sinner appear?
11627The saints of old, they being willing and resolved for heaven, what could stop them?
11627The words of this author are admirable: Jesus Christ complains, says this learned prelate, but of what does He complain?
11627Then Paul answered,"What, mean ye to weep, and to break my heart?"
11627Then who will prove the loser by thy contempt?
11627They worship Him externally, but internally how do they regard His maxims?
11627To whom should we speak with attention if not to God?
11627Trembling and astonished, Paul cries out,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
11627Upon this ground then, what exhortation could be more proper than this?
11627Was that also done to deceive?
11627Was this like the rest of His course?
11627Well, then, sinner, what sayest thou?
11627What are these things you set so much by as to prefer them before Christ and the saving of your soul?
11627What could a man desire more?
11627What do we see in the passion of Jesus Christ?
11627What do we, my dear hearers, when borne away by the immoderate desires of our hearts to a sin against which our consciences protest?
11627What do you think when you repeat the creed, and mention Christ''s judgment and everlasting life?
11627What 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?
11627What idea have they of His humility, of His poverty, of His sufferings?
11627What is it like?
11627What is it that is presented to my vision?
11627What is that?
11627What matter is it at judgment, whether you be to answer for the life of a rich man or a poor man?
11627What must we learn from all this darkness?
11627What need this waste?
11627What needs all this?
11627What other created a Cyrus if it is not God, who named him two hundred years before his birth in the Prophecies of Isaiah?
11627What part of the inhabited world has not heard of the victories of the Prince de Condà © and the wonders of his life?
11627What think you now, friends, of this business?
11627What toys are they that are daily taken up with, while matters of life and death are neglected?
11627What unprejudiced mind might not perceive it to be so?
11627What will become of me so long as I go childless, and so Saviorless, as I may so speak?
11627What will we not do, what are we not willing to suffer, to possess dangerous and contemptible things, and often without any success?
11627What, do you think that every heavy- heeled professor will have heaven?
11627What, every lazy one?
11627What, think they, may not a man be saved without all this ado?
11627What, will you go, saith the devil, without your sins, pleasures, and profits?
11627When He calls for fasting, and weeping, and mourning, who regards it?
11627When 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?"
11627When the gospel pierceth the heart indeed, they cry out,"Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved?"
11627Whence comes it that these resolutions are so frail?
11627Where is thy heart?
11627Who can evade His scrutiny that knows all things?
11627Who can hope for pity of Him that is inflexible?
11627Who can think to be exempted when the Judge is righteous and impartial?
11627Whose salvation is it that you make light of?
11627Why doth not the apostle say, Examine whether faith be in you, but"whether ye be in the faith"?
11627Why will you not judge now as you know you shall judge then?
11627Why, sirs, do you not care whether you be saved or damned?
11627Why, sirs, if you had every one a kingdom in your hopes, what were it in comparison of the everlasting kingdom?
11627Why, so it is here; art thou inquiring the way to heaven?
11627Will He reject those who bring all their treasures to Him, and repose everything upon His goodness?
11627Will He then be worth ten thousand worlds?
11627Will it not be a dishonor to thee to see the very boys and girls in the country to have more with them than thyself?
11627Will not God love the heart that trusts in Him?
11627Will not this blood which He has so abundantly shed have the virtue to sanctify you?"
11627Will you leave your friends and companions behind you?
11627Will you therefore see the point confirmed by reason?
11627Wilt thou run?
11627You that are gentlemen and tradesmen, I appeal to your souls whether the Lord and His cause is not the loser this way?
11627You will say, what fruit is it then?
11627You, in fine, who fear the coming of His reign, and do not desire that God should grant what you seem to pray for?
11627and how shall they be supplied that have it not?
11627and the earth opened and swallowed up the congregation of Abiram?
11627and to save them, that value a cup of drink or a lust before His salvation?
11627and what is it that you neglect?
11627and yet, when you hear the Lord thunder judgments out of His Word, who is humbled?
11627are you turned your own enemies?
11627as if he had said, What wilt Thou do for me?
11627how many such runners will there be found in the day of judgment?
11627if 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?
11627my God, shall I eternally appear in thine eyes polluted with that blood which washes away the crimes of others?
11627or will a despised Christ save you then?
11627that can be readier to sleep than to tremble when he heareth how he must stand at the bar of God?
11627that 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?
11627that provide outward necessaries so carefully for their families, but do so little to the saving of their souls?
11627what dung is it that men make so much of, while they set so light by everlasting glory?
11627what is it you run after?
11627which way went he?
11627would they read and think of these things as they do?
11627xxxii., 34:"Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
8579Am I to fall in China, and see my friends no more? 8579 Am I to sleep in such a grave?
8579Is there one here who wishes to be excused from this work? 8579 Must I be born again?"
8579One 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?
8579Who will resign his place in the missionary ranks, and let us go forth to do battle for the truth?
8579Who 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?
8579And how can I stay?
8579And required it, think you, no effort to bring her mind into this godlike state?
8579And shall our cheeks be dry?''"
8579And shall we weep?
8579And where are they now?
8579Are_ all_ from the town?''
8579But how could she part with her darling one?
8579But who does not know that Jehovah is able to accomplish more by our deaths than_ we_ are able to accomplish by our lives?
8579Can I leave you, Far in distant lands to dwell?
8579Cost it no toil to discipline the heart to such sore trials?
8579Could they not be obtained?
8579Death found her ready, and led a_ willing_ victim down into the sepulchre, who exclaimed, as she entered it,"O Death, where is thy sting?
8579Have I looked upon the shores of America for the last time?"
8579Her 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?"
8579Her last words were,"How long, O Lord, how long?"
8579How can I go with but little prospect of return?
8579How can I leave my mother here while oceans roll between us?
8579How could she behold him borne away to a distant land, to see her face no more?
8579How could she leave all these?
8579How could she leave that parent?
8579How could she say"Farewell,"and do it with the consciousness that she should gaze upon that mild countenance and that loved form no more?
8579In the service of such a Master, who of his followers would talk of sacrifice?
8579Is it no privilege to aid in forwarding the only cause for which the world was made and for which all nature stands?
8579Is it no_ privilege_ to help forward that cause which has engaged the hearts and hands of all the wise and good of every age?
8579Just converted, fresh from the public vows of consecration, the anxious question,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
8579O Grave, where is thy victory?
8579O Grave, where is thy victory?"
8579O, has earth ever witnessed such a spectacle as that?
8579O, when will they turn and live?
8579The old man, with his white locks and streaming eyes, asked,"What shall I do to be saved?"
8579The whole city felt the influence of the work of grace; and the sceptic, in amazement, asked,"What do these things mean?"
8579There, beneath the cool breath of autumn, they united in singing,--"When shall we all meet again?
8579To 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?
8579To the question,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
8579What can_ I_ do to believe?
8579What shall I do?''
8579When shall we all meet again?
8579While in the agony of death she said,''Why can not I be released?''
8579Who can wish her back to earth?
8579Why, my brother, would you be excused?
8579Years ago the question was,"Who will go?"
8579be buried away from home, with such a tree as this to wave over me?"
8579but 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?
6583A vitiated or inadequate primitive education, bad example, pernicious instruction?
6583Among the young ladies of your acquaintance are there not some who are unhappy?
6583And can you, without a voluntary illusion, convince yourself that youth is a preservative against misfortune?
6583Are you prepared to ward off the intruder?
6583But the will, what has become of it, what has it gained by this development of all the powers of the soul?
6583Could there be anything more explicit in condemnation of the world?
6583Could we have a better or more appreciative audience to witness what we do?
6583Did you ever seriously try to render an account of the attributes of God, and particularly of His goodness and justice?
6583Do you listen to them?
6583Do 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?
6583Have you clearly understood this truth in its full force?
6583Have you given it serious thought?
6583How is it possible for us to know what we are while we ignore what God is for us and what we owe Him?
6583How shall you surmount this twofold difficulty?
6583How will she be able to confront his exactions or cope with his rage?
6583How will she bear with the faults of her servants and of those with whom she may be obliged to live?
6583If it wounds you how will you endure the pain?
6583If this be the case, you will say, why remain in the world?
6583If this be your conviction, I ask:"Why do you read this book?
6583In what faculty of the soul does it reside?
6583Is it not every one''s duty to leave it as soon as possible and abandon it to its own corruption?
6583Is there one who has not realized in that woman either a daughter of Eve or of the Blessed, Virgin-- an Eden or a Nazareth?
6583It is their sacred duty and right to advise you; and to whom should you look for a more disinterested advice?
6583Now 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?
6583Now 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?
6583Now what is this precious quality?
6583Now, what is this world from which we must separate in order to lead a Christian life?
6583What are the rewards that crown its victories?
6583What are the signs by which its presence is made manifest?
6583What is the end to which it tends?
6583Where is its place among them?
6583Where is the Christian that knows God?
6583Who is it that speaks to the child''s will?
6583Why abstain from this action, which is not bad in itself?
6583Why avoid such a place, such a person, such company?
6583Why deprive our heart and imagination of the pleasures which the beautiful inspires?
6583Why neglect or cast off that ornament?
6583Why 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?
6583Why not read this book, this novel?
6583Why renounce such and such amusements?
6583Why restrain to inaction the finest faculties of the soul, and refuse them the aliment they so ardently crave?
6583Why seek to compare their knowledge with that which you possess?
6583Why should you envy those women, who, for being older than you, have gained by experience a knowledge of things that you should still ignore?
6583Why suffer this or that privation?
6583Why take such and such precautions?
6583Why?
28025But,I persevered,"do you know if she loves you or would take you?"
28025Do you know the woman you would like to get?
28025Forgot what?
28025Has he the idols with him now?
28025Have you a''doctor''in your camp?
28025How is this?
28025Oh,I replied,"I did not forget; I only wanted to see if you remembered it?"
28025On what then do you really rely, looking at it from a business point of view?
28025Shall we bind him and beat him?
28025Shall we burn his houses and destroy his plantations?
28025Shall we place him in a canoe, thrust him out to sea, and let him drown or escape as he may?
28025Then why,I insisted,"do n''t you go and marry her?"
28025Then,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?"
28025We are sent to demand on whose authority?
28025What then?
28025What''s your name?
28025When did you get that authority?
28025Why 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?"
28025A 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?"
28025Abraham, where is now your faith in Jesus?
28025After this I said;"Now, shall we pray?"
28025Again a voice came through the darkness,"How did you get in there?"
28025Alas, when I too am dead, who will climb the trees and get you a cocoanut to drink?
28025All eyes were fixed on the impudent little man, and the Captain asked,"What sort of a character is this?"
28025All fled as he approached them; and he cried,"Where are the cowards now?"
28025Am I not your friend?
28025Am I to be shut out from Jesus?
28025And 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?
28025And even if you could make your ladder higher than our highest cocoanut tree, on what would you lean its top?
28025And is it to trade and to get money, like the other white men?
28025And then the question came,"Who''s there?"
28025And who among you will take my place in the village School and in the Church?
28025And who will bathe your lips and brow?"
28025And your children, my brothers and sisters?
28025And--"Will you live henceforth for Jesus only, hating all sin and trying to love and serve your Saviour?"
28025Are you expecting another?"
28025Are you to permit one young fool to defy us all, and break up the Lord''s work on Aniwa?
28025As the first boat- load was discharged, the Orphans surrounded me, saying,"Missi, here is a cask that rattles like biscuits?
28025As 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 ©?
28025At last the Chiefs, running in breathless haste, called out to me,"Missi, Missi, do tell us, is the stolen property all here?"
28025At length the master said,"Will you not come in?"
28025Besides, what avails it to us, when dead and gone, if even a Man- of- war should come and punish our murderers?"
28025But how did you get it?"
28025But how to sail?
28025But they will ask you,''What is it like?''
28025But they will still say,''What is it?''
28025But, Missi,"continued he, after a pause that looked liked silent worship,"will it always rain up through the earth?
28025By and by he remarked,"Would n''t it be worth while to change your clothes?"
28025Can I see him alone?
28025Can it speak?"
28025Can you afford a second £100?"
28025Can you stand there and see your friend shot?
28025Could you kindly send me on to the next Station by your conveyance?
28025Excitedly he said,"Why?
28025Facing them sternly I demanded,"What is it that you want?
28025Has he not got the rain deep down in the earth?
28025Have we not often drunk tea and eaten together in my house?
28025Have you ever been happy?"
28025He again said,"Missi, would you like me to remain alone with you, seeing my wife is dead and in her grave here?"
28025He asked sharply,"To whom?"
28025He asked,"Missi, will you remain?"
28025He continued,"Where shall I get money for current expenses?
28025He looked rather angry, thinking that I befooled him, and retorted,"Who ever heard of wood speaking?"
28025He replied,"I curse, I can not pray; would you have me curse God to His face?"
28025He replied,"Who fears Jehovah?
28025His rage overcame his duplicity, and he exclaimed,"What black fellow give you these?
28025How can I approve of any person being killed for me or for the Worship?
28025How can I interfere?
28025How could you expect our Island to send up showers of rain from below?"
28025How is it that I only am to be shut out from Jesus?"
28025How is it that Jehovah did not protect the Gordons and the Erromangan worshipers?
28025How many English miles is it to Mr. Baird''s farm?"
28025I answered,"Surely you do n''t mean to attack and destroy these poor people?"
28025I appealed to them whether they were not all tired and hungry?
28025I called out,"_ Akai era_?"
28025I concluded that he was asking,"What is this?"
28025I 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?"
28025I found that they understood my question, What is this?
28025I inferred that he was asking,"What is this?"
28025I inquired if they had any objects of Worship, or any belief in God?
28025I replied saying,"Dear friend, how can I take it?
28025I replied,"Ian, you are surely not taking me away to kill me?
28025I replied,"This is Miaki, our great war Chief?
28025I replied,"Well, how can I help you?"
28025I said to a Chief in Tannese,"How do these bones come to be here?"
28025I said,"Do you read the_ Messenger_?"
28025I said,"Faimungo, why are we to leave you?
28025I said,"Nasi, do I now at last meet you as a Christian?"
28025I said,"What did I promise you?"
28025I said,"Will you write the Convener to that effect, or let me do so?"
28025I said,"Would you like this dear little boy of yours to grow up like yourself, and lead the life you have lived?"
28025I said,"where have you come from?
28025I then said,"Could you let us see them?"
28025Ian, the great Inland Chief, rose in wrath and said,"On whose lands does the Missi live, yours or ours?
28025In Glasgow a lady called at my brother''s house, saying,"Is the Missionary at home?
28025In blank wonder, he innocently stared at me, and said,"But what do you want?"
28025Instantly, lifting a piece of wood, I said,"Nungsi nari enu?"
28025Is it a Spirit, a God, or a ship on fire?
28025Is it already Church- time?
28025Is my mother, your dear wife, well?
28025It had often been said to me, after my addresses in the Assemblies and elsewhere,"How do you ever expect to raise £6000?
28025It was scarcely full dawn, yet I jumped up and called to a man that was passing,"Have I slept in?
28025Jehovah- Jireh?
28025Miaki, with a sneer, said,"Missi, where was Jehovah to- day?
28025Mocking questions were also shouted at us, such as,"Who made the rains, winds, and hurricanes?
28025Mr. Simpson asked,"Have you ever before seen stones like these?"
28025Namakei came to me, morning after morning, saying,"Missi, is it done?
28025Now why did not you, my father and mother, tell me all these things about Jesus, if you are going to meet Him too?"
28025O Lord, our Father in Heaven, art Thou going to take away all Thy servants, and Thy Worship from this dark land?
28025On another occasion, a man said to his companion, looking toward me,"Taha neigo?"
28025On parting I said,"Nasi, are you happy?
28025On returning I found them all around it, and they said,"Missi, have you forgotten what you promised us?"
28025On seeing him hovering so alarmingly near, tomahawk in hand, I saluted him,"Nelwang, do you want to speak to me?"
28025One day I observed two men, the one lifting up one of our articles to the other, and saying,"Nungsi nari enu?"
28025One day I saw two men approaching, when one, who was a stranger, pointed to me with his finger, and said,"Se nangin?"
28025One day a man, after carefully examining some article, turned to his neighbor and said,"Taha tinei?"
28025One 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?
28025Or 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?
28025Or why are the people met so early?"
28025Returning to him, washed and dressed, I inquired if he had arranged for a meeting?
28025Saying,"Where are the boys?"
28025Shall we kill him?"
28025She used to say,"Is there no Missionary to go and teach Nasi''s people?
28025So, one day, he brought her to me, saying,"Missi, can you give my wife also a pair of new glass eyes like mine?
28025Taking others out of my pocket, I said,"These make people sick and well, do n''t they?"
28025The Captain would ask,''Who killed him and put him down there?''
28025The 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?"
28025The hour struck as I was getting my articles arranged and spread out upon the table, and they began shouting,"Where''s the Missionary?"
28025The late Dr. Fullarton, our dear friend, said to them,"But what guarantee do you ask from the Missionaries for your money?"
28025The man quickly answered,"Well?
28025The old Chief eagerly responded,"Does it speak my words?"
28025The two principal Chiefs now came running and asked,"Missi, will it be a ship of war?"
28025Then is that child not a white Heathen?)
28025Then, after a pause, he proceeded,"When you go back to Fotuna, and they ask you,''What is Christianity?''
28025They asked,"And will you tell him?"
28025They said,"Missi, only tell us, will he ask you if we have been stealing your things?"
28025This 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?
28025Towards the end I pleaded with him even then to look to the Lord Jesus, and asked if I might pray with him?
28025Turning to me, he exclaimed,"Missi, have you the large yam we presented to you?
28025Was he mad?
28025Was it possible to teach them right and wrong, to Christianize, or even to civilize them?
28025Was the fault in the cocoanuts?
28025What could be done?
28025What could we do without paddles?"
28025What do you want?
28025What guarantee have they to give us, except their faith in God?
28025What is it?
28025What meanest Thou to do, O Lord?
28025What other punishment remains that Youwili cares for?"
28025What shall I do?"
28025What will God have to say to those white fiends who poisoned and maddened poor dear Mungaw?
28025When he saw so much food and so many different kinds of it, he asked,''What is this made of?''
28025When you go back to Fotuna, they will ask you,''What is Christianity?''
28025Who amongst you all will stand up for Jesus?"
28025Who caused all the disease?
28025Who ever expected to see rain coming up through the earth?
28025Who ever heard of a white man going down into the earth to bury himself?
28025Who ever went up there to hear Him or see Him?
28025Who fight against the Worship and all good, who are the thieves and murderers, who tell the lies, you or we?
28025Who killed Missi Mathieson''s child?"
28025Why do n''t you eat?
28025Why should He not also send us His Son from Heaven?
28025Will you let me preach a sermon on the well?"
28025Will you let us come to- morrow morning?"
28025Will you let us take it to the Mission House?"
28025Will you let us take one feast of the young and tender leaves?
28025Will you not give it up now?"
28025Will you please come back?"
28025Will you refuse an offer that many gentlemen''s sons would be proud of?"
28025Will you show us the path?
28025Will you soon open the cask?
28025Would 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?
28025Would 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?
28025Ye ask an explanation?
28025You do n''t want to bring evil on me and my wife and child?
28025You do n''t want to kill him, do you?
28025You see that group of young men?
28025You tell me, if you were my circumstances, how would you act?"
28025and where is Yakin?"
28025or will it come and go like the rain from the clouds?"
28025or, What is that?
28025to devote_ the whole profits_, year after year, to the direct service of God and His cause among men?
28025to one of them with my finger, and looking at the other, inquired,"Se nangin?"
28025what is it?"
48343And now,said the divine,"will your Majesty permit me to ask a question?"
48343Are all the guineas found?
48343Better?
48343Do you indeed think so, my dear Lord? 48343 Have you taken it all?"
48343How, then, can you judge of what you have never heard?
48343Mr.----, what is the proper female companion of this John Dory?
48343My Lord Duke,said the tenant,"would it not be better to apply yourself directly to God?
48343Oh, he has, has he?
48343Pray, Sir, do you_ believe_ in a_ cook_?
48343Sir,replied Wesley,"did you ever hear me preach?"

48343Where? 48343 Who wants Dr. Hannes, fellow?"
48343Why, my dear?
48343Why, then, does your Majesty read your speeches, when it may be presumed that_ you_ can have no such reason?
48343Will your deputy suffer eternal punishment for you too?
48343Would not a_ bit_ or two do you more good?

48343After the patient was gone, Martin noticed two guineas lying on the table, and asked the doctor how it came that he left his money about in that way?

48343But mark the consequence,_ quâ honorarium_: does the patient increase the fee for the pain and misery he is spared?
48343But should I have named him?

48343Is there never a wise man in the realm to be a comptroller of the Mint?
48343Is this a meet office for a priest that hath the cure of souls?
48343Is this his charge?

48343On his next visit the doctor asked,"What effect has the ptisan produced?"

45677It is quite true that a very considerable section of our aristocracy is on the turf, but with what result? 45677 Now, look here, parson,"said our friend, somewhat excited,"what good will it do me to join your Church if I need not be any thing but what I am?
45677O, well,answered the minister,"you do not mean any harm by it, do you?
45677_ Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?_Prov.
45677_ How can one be warm alone?_Eccl.
45677And if you deem yourself equal in judgment to all combined, let me ask you another question: Is your conclusion as safe as theirs?
45677And where is the proof of moral and religious usefulness?
45677Are virtue and honor so far undermined that the victim is ready to take refuge in hypocrisy and lies, denying in public and indulging in secret?
45677Are we at liberty to follow the multitude, inquiring, not for the best reason, but the latest fashion?
45677Are you as fully persuaded that God will condemn you if you do not venture into them?
45677Are you equally confident that it is dangerous_ not_ to dance,_ not_ to play cards,_ not_ to attend the theater?
45677Before we part, will our young Christian reader"suffer the word of exhortation?"
45677But is it true that worldly craft and policy will fail even as a policy?

45677But what does your pastor think?

45677How shall we bring others within the range of our influence, and at the same time keep wholly beyond the range of theirs?

45677Why consent to act, even once, as decoy duck, to lure many, it may be, to their destruction?
45677Why should it be so?
45677Why should people leave their useful employments, and assemble in thousands, from far and near, merely to see one horse beat another horse?
45677Why should you lend your example, even once, to encourage the inconsiderate and the inexperienced to form the habit of attending the theater?
45677Why should you make even one contribution to keep in motion the remorseless jaws which have devoured so many victims?
45677Why, then, should those who believe in virtue sustain, or help to sustain, that which can not exist at all except in alliance with vice and shame?
45677Will he do this by means of plays which, from the first line to the last, brand vice as infamous, and exalt virtue and honor?
45677Will it be said that if we are so rigid our young people will leave us and join other communions?
45677Will it require a mighty struggle, an agony of soul, a summoning of all concentrated power of will?
45677Will the apologist for dancing explain?
45677Will you say that the evils depicted flow not from your conduct, but from the censoriousness of the Church?
45677Will you set yourself in array against whole Conferences, Councils, and General Assemblies?
45677Will you still try to apologize for questionable pleasures?
45677Will you try to draw it half way between right and wrong?
45677Would it figure well in the published obituary?
45677and to what extent may we indulge in them?

44282A dance- house proprietor a philosopher?
44282A prize- fighter a poet?
44282After eyeing him intently for a few minutes, he said:"Would you like a job?"
44282And for the poet: Does it follow that because a man hardens his muscles he likewise hardens his heart?
44282And what does it all mean?
44282And why may not the proprietor of a dance- house be a philosopher?
44282Are those Christians who are so ready to hurl the first stone?
44282But some one will say,"Ben Hogan, this is all very well, but what remedy do you propose-- how are you going to help us out of the mire?"
44282But what is the treatment which she receives?
44282Did you ever see him?"
44282Do n''t you see it''s got a mark on it?"

44282Is it any wonder that the weak girl chooses this latter path?
44282Is our barking critic quite sure that he knows what philosopher stands for, or what philosophy means?
44282Is that so?"
44282It may also be asked, What shall it profit a man to get the wisdom of sages, and lose his health?
44282Look, for example, at the arm, or any of the limbs, or the chest of a young man who has never had any physical training, and what do you behold?

31525''I sometimes have deep fits of the blues when I think of the children, but their mother was able to trust Jesus with them, and why should not I?
31525''If anyone asks,"Would it not have been better if Mr. Gilmour had taken more care of himself and lived longer?"
31525''It is a_ disease_; if you get it can you leave it off?
31525''Many of these sins you not accused of, but you have sin: sin is fatal, can you free yourself?
31525''Now, how does the matter stand?
31525''Now,_ we believe_: how much do we do?
31525''Often a gentleman would come up and ask,"Where are you going?"
31525''Shortly after this Toobshing set himself up and proposed questions and cases such as:''"Is hell eternal?
31525''Suppose you were freed only from Hell, and transported to Heaven, could you be happy?
31525''Taking these things into consideration, I did not regard their great and often- repeated question,"How about the harvest?"
31525''The question of"How did you get this disease?"
31525''Then the Chinese would ask,"How many people have believed and entered the religion since you left Peking?"
31525''_ June 12, 1870._--I am to- day twenty- seven years of age, and what have I done?
31525''_ October 25._--God has given the hunger and thirst for souls: will He leave me unsatisfied?
3152532- 39)?
31525A smoker there spends a few coppers, and smokes; what harm does he do?
31525And if so, do not tobacco and whisky take the bread out of men''s mouths and the clothes off their backs?
31525And if so, has not every smoker and drinker a part in this sin?
31525And if the old women sang thus, what of the young people?
31525And is there a trouble or hardship we have yet surmounted for Christ''s sake that does not seem sweet to look back on?
31525And why not?
31525Ar''n''t you?
31525Are not souls valuable enough for us to face anything if only we can save some?
31525Are there none of you who could study medicine and go out as doctors to some of the many needy places?
31525Are there not some men whom we might stir up who now escape?
31525Are your schoolfellows Jesus''boys?
31525But for these three things many more men could find a living within the bounds of the district Is not that little district an epitome of the world?
31525But what about the work as regards the saving of souls and establishing of a Church?
31525But where do you live?"
31525But why did God call him away in the midst of life and work?
31525By the mail that conveyed the letter quoted on page 263 he also wrote to an Edinburgh friend:--''Do you know Adolphe Monod''s_ Farewell_?
31525Can not God keep us yet-- will He not do it?
31525Can not the same wonders be done now as of old?
31525Can they not be had?
31525Could not the disciples conspire to make the Gospels?
31525Could we do more?
31525Could you not get a doctor who would be willing to remain single till a location could be secured?
31525Did he tread upon God?
31525Did the hot tea not scald Him?
31525Did you see in_ The Christian_ some time ago a story from Annan, of an old woman who was on the point of being sold out for not paying her rent?
31525Do n''t you know of one who would do?
31525Do not the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, still to show Himself strong on behalf of those who put their trust in Him?
31525Do we not in our day rest too much on the arm of flesh?
31525Do you ever tell them of Him?
31525Do you think we''ll be able to go up to Him at last and say,"We did our part, but you did not do yours, Lord"?
31525Does it not seem clear that what is described can not be the case of one who has the repentant heart?
31525Does not Christ save men from distance from God and bring us near?
31525Does not he increase trade and help the revenue?
31525Does this prove that God is unfaithful?
31525Does this tend to show that the enterprise is hopeless?
31525Frequently they would anticipate me in this, and say,"If tobacco is wrong, how about whisky?"
31525God replies,"If you trust Me with it, do n''t you think I''d give them it as they needed?"
31525He said,"Who are you?"
31525How am I to pack and carry my goods?
31525How is my mission to get on beginning thus?
31525How then?
31525How''s your soul, brother?
31525I ask them if I burnt them would they think they were going to heaven?
31525I asked him if a fly were inside the kettle, would the kettle be alive?
31525I asked him,"Have you travelled this way before?"
31525I heard of Mr. Lovett being in America--_American Pictures_ on the stocks?
31525I knew nothing of anatomy, had no books, absolutely nothing to consult; what could I do but pray?
31525I say then, Did God cast off His people?
31525I wonder is this so?
31525If God has no form, how can anyone be at His right hand?
31525If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
31525If a man is insured against all possible harm, why should he be afraid?
31525If you say so, I may just say that I have something of the same feeling; but what am I to do?
31525In God?
31525In the main, his bold summons was,"Do you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?"
31525In them?
31525Is he marking out a road map, so that he can return guiding an army?
31525Is he taking notes of the capabilities of the country?
31525Is he, as a wizard, carrying off the good luck of the country in his note- book?
31525Is it last time?
31525Is it not blessed of Christ to care so much for us poor feeble men, so sinful and so careless about honouring Him?
31525Is it not so?''
31525Is it not true that but for tobacco and whisky there would be food and clothes for a much larger population?
31525Is n''t it all very silly and very sad?
31525Is not the real lesson of James Gilmour''s life twofold?
31525Is that not so?
31525Is the kingdom a harvest field?
31525Is this the way to get better harvests?
31525Is what is true of that district not true of the whole world?
31525It was the great religious event of the year for the neighbourhood, and how do you think they do?
31525Jesus died to save us: surely we can show our gratitude by giving Him some of our money?''
31525Now when that comes, what are you to do?
31525Ought we not to have it?
31525Passed through large orchards of apple(?)
31525Shall 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?
31525Shall we be able to understand why we were afraid to speak to this man or that woman about salvation?
31525So we felt with Peter,"Can any man forbid water that these should not be baptized?"
31525That gave us twenty- three miles''private conversation, and a good answer to give to all who demanded,"Where are you going?"
31525The growth of tobacco was defeating heaven''s purpose, and as long as they did so, what face had they to ask for good seasons?
31525The reply of Candace''s eunuch,''How can I understand unless someone shall guide me?''
31525The subject fixed one Friday evening for debate in the discussion class was,"Have animals souls?"
31525The thought passed through my mind,"Can that be the messenger?"
31525The thousands here need salvation; God is most anxious to give it to them: where, then, is the hindrance?
31525Then I say,"What will you have me do?"
31525Then is not this what God wants in us?
31525Then said,"Would any one pray to go there if it were not a good place?"
31525Then was God inside the kettle?
31525Then, again, if God is everywhere, Christ is everywhere right and left of God, and how can that be?
31525They have a system which quite satisfies them, and what more do they want?
31525Thinking 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?"
31525To Mr. Owen he wrote on March 2:--''Does God not mean to have a medical man here?
31525Was God in that pot, in the tent, in his boot?
31525Was n''t she a stupid old woman?
31525We may be all dead men directly; are we afraid to die?
31525We must die some time or other; now that we have a near view of its possibility, how can we look forward to it?
31525We 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?
31525We''ll all go some day and be with her, wo n''t that be good?
31525We_ do_ that, do n''t we?
31525Well, as the men in the furnace said of God,"Will He care to defend us?
31525What if you do n''t like each other?
31525What then?
31525What use are they to me?
31525What were we to do?
31525What_ can_ he be up to?
31525When shall I be able to speak to the people?
31525Where is now the Lord God of Elijah?
31525Whisky and tobacco reduce the comforts and the number of the population there-- is their effect not the same on the world in general?
31525Who can be restrained by the cold- blooded calculation of preserving health?
31525Who would be your companions?
31525Why should n''t I?
31525Why should we be spiritually bankrupt?
31525Why should we be trammelled by the opinions and customs of men?
31525Why should we care what men say of us?
31525Why should we confer with men?''
31525Would Christ have said that?
31525Would not this be ideal Christian life?
31525Would you believe it?
31525Would you credit it?
31525You, Jimmie, know Jesus; does Willie?
31525and if she still insisted he would add in a solemn manner:"_ Mother_, what if the door should be shut when I get there?"
31525shall Christ look to us in vain to declare simply what He has done?
31525to his name would have done?
31525was the question;"would I ever have the hope that I knew others had?"
30362Dost thou charge my sin to me? 30362 Who,"said the wond''ring John,"are they In white array, Whom now I see before me?"
30362Why 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?
30362A hero Thou Whose courage low Sinks''fore disgrace or danger?
30362And doth the Head befriend me, Am I belov''d by God?
30362And shall Thy word and promise fail, Be put to shame for ever?
30362And what have many more than of the poor the sweat?
30362And who thy frame uprearèd?
30362Are we unworthy?
30362Art thou to- day in joyous mood, Rejoicing in thy share of good?
30362But dust and ashes what am I?
30362But say whoe''er can tell it-- Who are they who repent?
30362Christ is near, What can here E''er of Him deprive me?
30362Consider what we be-- A moment, where are we?
30362Could I be better living Than such have liv''d below?
30362Did I e''er''neath sorrow bend?
30362Did my heart grief ever rend?
30362Did then Thy good and holy Son Himself for us deliver, And I enslavèd, sinful one, Shall I resist Thee ever?
30362Do foes Thee scorn and treat with shame?
30362Dost Thou not work?
30362Dost from the world withdraw thyself, And lov''st God more than gold or pelf?
30362Dost live in sorrow, sunk in grief, Hast much affliction-- no relief?
30362Doth God support Thee and thine ever?
30362Doth He say,"Thou art Mine, thy way doth please Me well?"
30362Doth ev''ry one despise Thy name?
30362Doth wrath so burn, That Thou''lt ne''er turn To me, and stand beside me?
30362For in all His works amazing, See I not His care for me?
30362God oft gives me days of gladness, Shall I grieve If He give Seasons too of sadness?
30362Had God been averse to me, Would He have supported All the gifts so rich and free He to me imparted?
30362Had I no debt of sin to face, How could I ever share Thy grace?
30362Hast thou death deserv''d for ever?
30362Hath 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?
30362Have I e''er been vexèd sore?
30362Have I pleasure?
30362Have I riches?
30362His people''s cry Shall God deny, Who day and night are praying?
30362Hollow and unfaithful ever Is the friendship of the earth; Seemeth she a man to favour?
30362How is it reason finds it hard, The truth so oft rejecteth, That Thou with favour dost regard E''en while Thy hand afflicteth?
30362How long shall I in grief lie low, And inward sorrow grieve me?
30362How long shall I, thy stricken child, Bereft of soul- rest languish?
30362How long shall my proud enemy, Who only meaneth ill to me, Exult o''er me in triumph?
30362How long shall storm and wind so wild, Fill heart with fear and anguish?
30362How long will sorrow on me press And deep heart- anguish grieve me?
30362How long wilt chide, And Thy face hide, In darkness let me languish?
30362How long, Lord, in forgetfulness And darkness wilt Thou leave me?
30362How will my bounding heart With joy be overflowing, Praise evermore renewing, When through the door of heaven By Thee is entrance given?
30362I am God''s, and mine is God, Who from Him can part me?
30362I have deserv''d it, cease t''oppose The Lord''s will, shall I never?
30362If I''m then a child of grace, Should I shun God ever, When He from sin''s devious ways, Seeks me to deliver?
30362If my cup should overflow, Proud in spirit I might grow, Thee deny with scornful word, Asking who is God and Lord?
30362In patience am I giving Myself to just such woe?
30362In suff''rings art thou doom''d to live?
30362Is God for me?
30362Is it from Thee?
30362Is it not pure love that filleth, And His faithful heart o''erflows, When He ever cares for those, Who do only what He willeth?
30362Is the handredweight thy gain?
30362Is this felicity?
30362Is this the first time we have known And tasted sore affliction?
30362Is''t so?
30362It is thought, that at this time Gerhardt wrote his heart- stirring and beautiful hymn,--Ist Gott für mich, so trete?
30362Jesus, why should they so grieve Thee, Who''re uncircumcis''d in heart, By this rite?
30362Mine art thou still, and mine shalt be, Who will be this denying?
30362Mine eyes scarce ope are keeping, A moment-- I''ll be sleeping, Where''s body then and soul?
30362Must I be passing Through cares harassing?
30362Must I then His own restore Him?
30362My Saviour, what dejects Thee, And causeth all Thy woe?
30362My body what but grass so dry?
30362My face, why should''st thou troubled be When thou of death art hearing?
30362No stone, our Saviour God art Thou, How canst Thou so afflict us now?
30362O my soul, why dost thou grieve, Why dost mourn so bitterly, That more freely God doth give Gifts to others than to thee?
30362Of wealth, what is thy store?
30362Reflect, my friend, say, if you know What station is there here below Without its fall and daily share Of sorrow, pain, and anxious care?
30362SAY WITH WHAT SALUTATIONS?
30362SHALL I NOT MY GOD BE PRAISING?
30362Satan e''er fool''d me before?
30362Satan''s wiles dost thou not see?
30362Say who to pale hath made it?
30362Say with what salutations Shall I Thine advent greet?
30362Say, where a place to lay my head, On earth had I attainèd?
30362Seems help impossible to thee?
30362Shake thy head in scorn, and"flee,"Bid the old deceiver--"Wilt renew thy thrusts at me, Me to fear deliver?
30362Shall He be reproach''d by men Through thy sore dejection?
30362Shall I not my God be praising, And in Him not joyful be?
30362Shall cradled infants feel the stroke, Shall they endure the heavy yoke?
30362She will smile on us, and nourish; Doth misfortune o''er us low''r?
30362So 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?
30362Soul, why art thou sad and dreary?
30362The heart of Herod loathèd Thee, Yet what art Thou?
30362The life we''re living What is it giving?
30362The tent- like firmament who builds, Who spreads th''expanse of blue, Who sends to fertilize our fields Refreshing rain and dew?
30362Thou art but man, to thee''tis known, Why dost thou then endeavour To do what God should do alone, Or can accomplish ever?
30362Thou 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?
30362Thou spring of boundless blessing, How could e''er my feeble mind Of Thy depth the bottom find, Though my efforts were unceasing?
30362Though a heavy cross I''m bearing, And my heart Feels the smart, Shall I be despairing?
30362Though he rage sore, What can he more Than soul and body sever?
30362Thy foes why should they move thee?
30362To glad our eyes, by whose decree, Say, hath the light appearèd?
30362To 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?
30362To wring my heart with anguish?
30362WHY WITHOUT, THEN, ART THOU STAYING?
30362What God doth who can e''er explore, And say what He rejoiceth o''er?
30362What are they Better than small dust of earth?
30362What can I with my utmost pow''r?
30362What can death''s poison do to me?
30362What can there be( I ask of thee) That can arise, To fear thee to deliver?
30362What do they eat and drink, and what gain do they get?
30362What dost thou think and speak, What''s fathomless, art sounding?
30362What good did all the might of men Do, when to thee were given Life, mind, and pow''r from heaven?
30362What good the life I''m living?
30362What harm can do Our soul''s dread foe To us at all, Though full of gall his spirit?
30362What hast Thou e''er neglected For my good here below?
30362What have we had but grief alone On earth, and sore dejection?
30362What have we here or what are we, Of good what can earth give, That we do not alone from Thee, Our Father, aye receive?
30362What is His wide dominion fair?
30362What is all this life possesseth?
30362What is the sum of all our gain From youth to age, but toil and pain, Heart- sorrow and vexation?
30362What is there in sky or sea, What the wide earth over, What that works no good for me, Canst thou then discover?
30362What meaneth He?
30362What means He to announce to us, Who nature''s course can alter thus?
30362What mortal knows His Maker''s mind?
30362What shall I do then, Lord?
30362What should thus in sorrow sink us?
30362What to- day my heart doth gladden, That to- morrow doth not sadden?
30362What use, though much we''ve learnèd here, If first we do not learn Thy fear, And ne''er to serve Thee right attain?
30362What will be then Thy greeting, Me and my brethren meeting?
30362What''s Satan''s might and majesty?
30362What''s it worth?
30362What''s measureless, art bounding?
30362When did God command me Judgment to require from thee?
30362Where shall I from Thy Spirit fly, Escape from Thine omniscient eye?
30362Where shall I from Thy presence hide, And where remote from Thee abide?
30362Where were thy mind and will and heart When land and ocean over, Yea, even earth''s remotest part, The sky was spread to cover?
30362Who can declare,"My house was ever All free from care, And troubled never?"
30362Who can rob me of my heaven That God''s Son, As mine own, To my faith hath given?
30362Who 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?
30362Who did pow''r on thee bestow Sentence to deliver?
30362Who hath thy frame replenish''d With members fair and finish''d?
30362Who hath thy veins in order laid, For each a course convenient made?
30362Who is he that could ever find The counsel out God hath decreed, The way wherein He''d have us tread?
30362Who 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?
30362Who is it that afflicts Thee?
30362Who is the Master, where is he, Who in perfection sketcheth The hands this infant dear to me Now smilingly outstretcheth?
30362Who 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?
30362Who thought upon thy welfare then?
30362Who warmeth us in cold and frost, Who shields us from the wind, Who orders it that wine and must We in their season find?
30362Whose skill was it that fashion''d thee?
30362Why are, but for good to me, Air and water given?
30362Why com''st Thou, Lord, so slowly To free me from this state?
30362Why do clouds their streams outpour?
30362Why do dews earth cover?
30362Why do star so beauteously Shine on us from Heaven?
30362Why do thy cares both night and day Grieve thee so bitterly?
30362Why dost Thou let me feel such smart, Pass through such tribulation?
30362Why for thy life should care so grieve thee, How to nourish and sustain it?
30362Why should sorrow ever grieve me?
30362Why should tears so freely flow?
30362Why should they such pain e''er give Thee, Why inflict such cruel smart?
30362Why through holy men of old Have God''s words been given?
30362Why wilt thou thyself so weary When there is no need for thee?
30362Why with verdure''s cover''d o''er, Why flow blessings over Hill and valley, field and wood?
30362Why without, then, art Thou staying, Blessed of the Lord from far?
30362Will not God''s own Son now bless us?
30362Wilt Thou Thy face, Lord, utterly Turn from me?
30362Wilt Thou eternally repel, And show Thy goodness never?
30362Wilt Thou give ever To me whatever My life is needing?
30362Wilt Thou then grieve me, Gall to drink give me?
30362Wilt thou do what is for thy good, And what thy God good seeth?
30362Would I have life?
30362dearest love, why was I born, If Thou my soul forsakest?
30362fairest one, what faileth me In Thy great love, of blessing?
30362from hour to hour But what Thyself art giving?
30362is this magnificence?
30362my work then bless; Is it of man?
30362now 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?
30362to Thee we sing 37 In grateful songs your voices raise 238 In prayer your voices raise ye 45 Is God for me?
30362what shall I do for Thee For all the good Thou doest me, Thus saving me and shielding?
30362where art thou vanish''d?
30362who 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?
30362why permittest Thou my soul To sink in sore dejection?
30362why should the thought of death With terror make me shiver?
30362wilt Thou, Unmindful of me, leave me?
30362wilt ne''er look on me In grace and in compassion?
6713A 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?''
6713Among the hundreds are there not some failures, some exceptions? 6713 Are these children really_ street Arabs?_ If not, where do you find so many?"
6713Are these children really_ street Arabs?_ If not, where do you find so many?
6713Are you sure the children are really_ better off_ there?
6713Do these departed workers regret one effort made for Jesus? 6713 How come the Canadian farmers to be willing to take these children?"
6713In 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?"
6713Take this child and nurse it for Me?
6713You 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?"
6713Are you using them for me?''
6713Are you working?
6713Ask your hearts, Can this be true?
6713B.--Who was he?
6713Bring the lambs to Jesu''s fold?
6713But now all is hushed in silence, They are lying in slumber deep: While I ask, in this solemn midnight,_ Where_ do the children sleep?
6713But what about a text?
6713But where are the children sleeping In these wretched streets around, Where sin, and want, and sorrow Their choicest haunt have found?
6713But who shall make the picture real?
6713Can I be of any service?''
6713Can we forget The meetings and the partings we have known?
6713Christ hath many a homeless orphan, Is He saying this to you?
6713Could 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?"
6713Dare to let His children perish, Or in evil paths to stray?
6713Does the night air make you shiver, As the stream sweeps coldly by?
6713George Alien wishing to take the children; Mr. Eason:''I am praying for you, can I help by coming?''
6713How can 10 pounds be better spent?
6713Indeed who can say where the blessing ends?
6713May not the words of the letter quoted above be adopted with little alteration by every Christian labourer?
6713Miss Macpherson adds:--"Who is the little girl asked for to become a daughter and sister?
6713Miss Macpherson''s own words here follow:--"What is the cry from all ends of the earth?
6713Now who was Bessie?
6713Short your serving time will be; Are your talents idle lying?
6713Sisters, shall we share the blessing?
6713So I asked the little maiden,"Annie, Jesus cares for you-- If we saw Him now beside us, Can you think what He would do?"
6713So 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?"
6713Speaking of the religious character of the work, he said,''I asked him who had taught him so much of Jesus?
6713Surely it was the Lord''s doing that for the_ first_ time she had brought one written in French; and it was indeed appropriate?
6713There thick are the homespun blankets, And the buffalo robes are warm; Then why should these children shiver Out here in the winter storm?
6713Thus was fulfilled that promise so precious to all seed- sowers?
6713We can only bow low before our loving Father with''What can I render unto the Lord for all His benefits towards me?''..
6713We found this new name had required thought, and when saying''Buzhu?''
6713Were matters sometimes strained?
6713What becomes of them?"
6713Where in all England could we have found, in a few weeks, hearts and homes for forty adoptions?
6713Who can read the following without praise to the Giver of every good and perfect gift?
6713Why wait till of hope bereft For that fair young girl the river Be the only refuge left?
6713Why wait till the prison claims them?
6713Why was I spared?
6713Will not the echo of it, coming in this form, cause some, not in imagination merely, but in reality, to"come and see?"
6713Will you climb this broken staircase, And glance through this shattered door; Oh, can there be children sleeping On that filthy and crowded floor?
6713Will 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.
6713could the veil be lifted for a brief moment and the dull ears quickened to catch the pleading accents of the blessed lord?
6713did little jars arise and a shadow now and then gather on the faces of the strangers because their own mother was not?
6713or''How do you do?''
6713while they thus are sleeping, How dare Thy children sleep?
39022I am Joseph, do ye not know me? 39022 What do you think should have been said here?"

39022And have you returned bringing with you your youngest brother?
39022And his father said unto him,"What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?
39022And 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?
39022And with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?
39022Are ye certain that she understood the meaning of my command?
39022Art thou able to get on this beast of mine?
39022Butler, who is this boy that interpreted thy dream?
39022Can he forgive us?
39022Can not our father trust the flocks to our hands without sending this Joseph to spy on us?
39022Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the spirit of God is?
39022Canst thou not take me to the Queen?
39022Did I not command that every Hebrew boy should be killed?
39022Dost thou think that thou art mightier than I, whom the King hath set above all the princes of the land?
39022Esther, thou must save thy people and thyself?
39022For who is this Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?
39022Hast thou been hurt, my friend?
39022Hast thou not everything at home?
39022Hath aught happened to the flocks?
39022Hath aught happened to thee?
39022Have we no man among us with the strength or boldness to fight this giant?
39022He said to Joseph,"Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem?
39022He tears his clothes when he finds that_ JOSEPH_ is not there._]_ Reuben:_ The child is not, and I, whither shall I go?
39022How can we save our baby?
39022How cometh it that thou art here?
39022How didst thou know of his plan?
39022I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?
39022Is all well with him?
39022Is he not a wonderful boy?
39022Is he yet alive?
39022Is he yet alive?"
39022Is my father yet alive?"
39022Is there something here?
39022Merchants enter._]_ Tenth Brother:_ What will ye give us for this lad?
39022My little daughter, will you stay and watch and bring me word quickly if anything happens?
39022Now, is there one among you who can tell me the meaning of these dreams, for my spirit is troubled because of them?
39022Oh, do you not see that I am Joseph that speak unto you?"
39022One little boy made the remark,"We keep telling the same things over; why ca n''t we leave out that second scene?
39022One morning Joseph found them both very sad and he said unto them,"Wherefore look ye so sadly today?"
39022Or shall he have dominion over us?
39022Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee?"
39022Shall he indeed reign over us?
39022Shall his mother and father and eleven brethren indeed come to bow down themselves to him?
39022The Hebrew people?

39022Then 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?"
39022Then Joseph said,"Do not interpretations belong to God?
39022Then Joseph was greatly moved and said unto them,"Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake?
39022Then Judah said,"Why do we slay our brother and conceal his blood?
39022Then his brothers said to him,"Shalt thou indeed reign over us?

39022What troubleth you?
39022What wilt thou do?
39022When 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?"
39022Where art thou?
39022Where did you get the boy?
39022Where is the Queen?
39022Where is thy wife?
39022Wherefore didst thou pray to thy God when thou knewest of my decree?
39022Whither shall I go?
39022Who is this and where is he that dareth in his heart to do this thing to thy people?
39022Why should he make merry over my brother who has wasted his living?
39022Will you bathe here?

11693Come, 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?"
11693Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
11693Why, then,He says,"do you accuse Me of blasphemy because I claim divinity?"
11693Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?
11693ABBOTT BORN IN 1835 THE DIVINITY IN HUMANITY_ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?
11693All fancy, all imaginings?
11693And altho all these years have rolled away, this question comes up, addresst to each of us, to- day,"What think ye of Christ?"
11693And have you not fancied that you heard the harp of God playing in heaven?
11693And how can they hear without a preacher?
11693And how can they preach except they be sent?"
11693And 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"?
11693And shall not you who are here to- day thank God that such a man was, tho for so brief a space, your bishop?
11693And then Saul asks,"Who art thou, Lord?"
11693And what is the mission of the Christian Church?
11693And when you turn to the moral law, and when you ask yourself,"How can I learn to be athirst for God?"
11693And why should not people make up their minds about the Lord Jesus Christ, and take their stand for or against Him?
11693And why?
11693Are you sure you could?
11693But then, if you speak the truth, you say,"And in the end what am I?
11693But what of that?
11693But will this rhapsody bear thinking about?
11693By that sin fell the angels: how can man, then, The image of his Maker, hope to win by''t?"
11693Can anything be more humble?
11693Can you say,"Tho he slay me, yet will I trust in him"?
11693Canst thou not see some sweet hill Mizar?
11693Canst thou not think of some blest hour when the Lord met with thee at Hermon?
11693Certainly it is to know God''s guidance in law; but what is law?
11693Could 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?
11693Could you say that?
11693Did He leave heaven and come down to this world for a purpose?
11693Did I call him man the second?
11693Did I call this house second?
11693Did I not come to bless you?
11693Do I address one whose regular work in life is to administer to this appetite?
11693Do I say, then, that I am equal to Christ?
11693Do I say, then, that Jesus Christ was a man like other men?
11693Do n''t you know Him?
11693Do we go forth to meet death"with dances and chants of fullest welcome"?
11693Do you ask how it shall be done?
11693Do you ask how that can be?
11693Do you ask the question?
11693Do you believe in the forgiveness of sins?
11693Do you believe in the forgiveness of sins?
11693Do you believe in the forgiveness of sins?
11693Do you believe in the forgiveness of sins?
11693Do you see how everything there is being desolated?
11693Do you think it is right and noble to lift up your voice against such a Savior?
11693Does He?
11693Does death"lave us in a flood of bliss"?
11693Does it not cock the highwayman''s pistol?
11693Does it not jingle the burglar''s key?
11693Does it not wave the incendiary''s torch?
11693Does it not whet the assassin''s knife?
11693Does"the body gratefully nestle close to death"?
11693Elymas the sorcerer withstood him: how did our friend Paul treat him?
11693For what did God come in Christ?
11693For what is the position, dear friends, of the Christian Church?
11693For what reason should our missionaries stand disputing with Brahmins?
11693Go back, man; sing of that moment, and then thou wilt have a song in the night?
11693Has He come with that great life of His to give a little and then stop?
11693Has it not sent the physician reeling into the sick- room; and the minister with his tongue thick into the pulpit?
11693Hast thou never been fetched from the den of lions?
11693Hast thou never been on the Delectable Mountains?
11693Hast thou never escaped the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear?
11693Have I injured you in any way?
11693Have they anything to say of Him?
11693Have we a right to believe that man is more than he seems to be, as we can see him in the street to- day?
11693Have we a right to build our institutions and fabrics on this belief?
11693Have you never stood by the seaside at night, and heard the pebbles sing, and the waves chant God''s glories?
11693Have you nothing more to bring against Him than this?
11693He might have added,"What have I done to you?
11693How can it come?
11693How can you not?
11693How many men are there who can rise above the feelings of partizanship, and demand that our officials shall be sober men?
11693How much, Lord and Master?
11693I am now at peace with God through faith, in our Lord Jesus Christ"?
11693I should like to ask, Was He really the Son of God-- the great God- Man?
11693I 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?
11693If He bore the cross and died on it for me, ought I not to be willing to take it up for Him?
11693If He had not, what would have become of us?
11693If He laid down His life for us, is it not the least we can do to lay down ours for Him?
11693If you think well of Him, why not speak well of Him and range yourselves on His side?
11693In the anguish of his soul Job cried,"I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou Preserver of men?"
11693Is death"delicate, lovely and soothing,""delicious,"coming to us with"serenades"?
11693Is it a wonder the angels thought well of Him?
11693Is it about the most fundamental of all facts-- the existence, and the nature, and the grace, and the government of Almighty God?
11693Is not this the one thing needful?
11693Is not this, fellow men, the right way to live?
11693Is that enough?
11693Is that enough?
11693Is there not a more excellent way than this?

11693My friend will you hear Him to- day?
11693My friends, my people, would you be saved, saved from your sins, saved from yourselves, saved from the pride of life?
11693Natural depravity?
11693Nay, have not some of you in your own bodies felt the power of this habit?
11693Need I tell you of it?
11693Now, is there any ground or basis for this faith in man?
11693Now, what is the spirit of Christ?
11693Oh, do you not think He was a wonderful preacher?
11693Oh, have we not reason to think well of Him?
11693Oh, widow and orphans, oh, sorrowing and mourning, will you not thank God for Christ the comforter?
11693Oh, will you gratify pleasure?
11693Oh, will you stimulate activity, and will you leave me alone?
11693On what grounds did you judge Him?
11693Or are we to think of them as simply phantasmagoria hung up for the delectation of a passing moment?
11693Or have you never risen from your couch, and thrown up the window of your chamber, and listened there?
11693Or that I shall ever become equal to Christ?
11693Perhaps you can hardly admit it; but where was your son last night?
11693See how wonderfully the Word of God fits down upon this?
11693Shall we not draw to this Prince of Life and take from Him the gift that He came to bring?
11693Simply to show Himself?
11693Suppose you ask a master in music,"How am I to produce the real result of stately sound?"
11693Tell us, what think you of Christ?"
11693Tell us; what did the witnesses say?
11693The question for the world is,"What think ye of Christ?"
11693The question is, who will hunt him down, and how shall we shoot him?
11693The reason?

11693There are a great many of you that think Christian people are a very miserable set, do n''t you?
11693Tuesday night?
11693Was it merely the assertion of your confidence in the goodness of God irrespective of His holiness?
11693Was it really to seek and to save?
11693Was it simply the recognition of a universal amnesty for a world of rebels?
11693Was it true, Peter?
11693Wast thou never in straits before, and did He not deliver thee?
11693Wast thou never poor before, and did He not supply thy wants?
11693We will ask them, What think ye of Christ?
11693Wednesday night?
11693Well, what then?

11693What a story that is which he has given to us of a great soul-- faithful always in the greatest?

11693What did you mean by it?
11693What do they think of Him there?
11693What do we mean by thirsting for God?
11693What do we need for the salvation of a prosperous life?
11693What do you know exactly about infinity, or space, or time, or cause?
11693What do you mean, you may say for a moment, by the thirst for God?
11693What do you think of Him?
11693What exactly was the thought in your heart as the words passed over your lips,"I believe in the forgiveness of sins"?
11693What foul sprite turned the sweet rhythm of Robert Burns into a tuneless babble?
11693What have you before you there?
11693What heart could endure the groan of agony?

11693What is it but the life into which they are led who take the yoke of this Master upon them and learn of Him?
11693What is it but this?
11693What is it, let me ask, that comes into clearer prominence as the Washington tragedy[1] is being investigated and scrutinized?
11693What is the difference between your failure and the results of those men?
11693What is the difference?
11693What is the object of such a church as this?

11693What is the result?
11693What is there wanting in the touch of your artist?
11693What is this, again, but the same declaration?
11693What kind of life, Lord and Master?
11693What says Christ Himself?
11693What shall the consecration be?
11693What testimony was brought against Him?"
11693What then is the pride of life which is bad, which"is not of the Father, but is of the world"?
11693What then?
11693What think you of Him?"
11693What was it that silenced Sheridan, the English orator, and shattered the golden scepter with which he swayed parliaments and courts?
11693What, then, are you going to do with your faith?
11693Where was he Friday night?
11693Where was he Thursday night?
11693Who is this battered and bruised wretch that was picked up by the police and carried in drunk and foul and bleeding?
11693Who, then, is Jesus Christ?
11693Why do you treat Me thus, Saul?"
11693Why is it good that you should do your best?
11693Why not?
11693Why should sorrow find perpetual remembrance in art?
11693Why should they be wasting their time by attempting to refute first this dogma, and then another, of heathenism?
11693Why, buried among your buildings, in the midst of this great, powerful, sinful city,--why has it a mission for eternity?
11693Why, dear friends, why is it that these things do not satisfy?
11693Why, let them lecture on; this is a free country; why should we follow them about?
11693Why?
11693Why?
11693Why?
11693Why?
11693Will any man say to me, this beautiful flower with all its rich coloring is like this bulb?
11693Will it?
11693Will it?
11693Will you not believe in Him?
11693Will you not believe the testimony?
11693Will you not believe this witness, this last of all, the Lord of hosts, the King of kings himself?
11693Will you not live for Him?
11693Will you not think well of such a Savior?
11693Will you not trust in Him with all your heart and mind?
11693Would that fill you with deep thoughts in Beethoven, or fire you into joy in Mendelssohn?
11693Would that produce the chorus of Handel that made you almost rise and march in majesty?
11693Would that produce"The Last Judgment"of Spohr, that made you dissolve in tears?
11693Would 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?
11693Would you not like to rekindle the home- lights that long ago were extinguished?
11693You doubted Him, Thomas?
11693You think that you could stop?
11693You want to know what His enemies thought of Him?
11693You want to know what a heathen, thought?
11693didst thou never have a sickness like that which thou art suffering now, and did He not raise thee up from that?
11693hast thou buried thine own diary?
11693what is He saying to you?
11693who can deliver me from the body of this death?"
20476Canst thou find out the Almighty?
20476Is it such a fast that I have chosen?
20476The Fathers, where are they?
20476Whither shall I go from thy presence?
20476Who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
20476Why sayest thou-- my way is hid from the Lord?
204761 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb?
204761 And art thou with us, gracious Lord, To dissipate our fear?
204761 And can my heart aspire so high, To say,"My Father,"God?
204761 And is the gospel peace and love?
204761 And is there, Lord, a rest, For weary souls designed, Where not a care shall stir the breast, Or sorrow entrance find?
204761 As o''er the past my memory strays, Why heaves the secret sigh?
204761 Bereft of all, when hopeless care Would sink us to the tomb, O what can save us from despair?
204761 Bound upon the accursed tree, Faint and bleeding, who is he?
204761 Brother, hast thou wandered far From thy father''s happy home?
204761 Can creatures to perfection find Th''eternal, uncreated Mind?
204761 Father of all, omniscient Mind, Thy wisdom who can comprehend?
204761 Feeble, helpless, how shall I Learn to live and learn to die?
204761 Friend after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend?
204761 God is my strong salvation; What foe have I to fear?
204761 God is our refuge and defence, In trouble our unfailing aid; Secure in his omnipotence, What foe can make our soul afraid?
204761 How shall I praise th''eternal God, That infinite Unknown?
204761 How shall the young secure their hearts, And guard their lives, from sin?
204761 Is there a lone and dreary hour, When worldly pleasures lose their power?
204761 Is there ambition in my heart?
204761 Lord, must we die?
204761 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?
204761 Lord, who''s the happy man, that may To thy blest courts repair, Not, stranger- like, to visit them, But to inhabit there?
204761 My God, thy service well demands The remnant of my days; Why was this fleeting breath renewed, But to renew thy praise?
204761 Say, why should friendship grieve for those Who safe arrive on Canaan''s shore?
204761 The evils that beset our path, Who can prevent or cure?
204761 Were not the sinful Mary''s tears An offering worthy heaven, When, o''er the faults of former years, She wept, and was forgiven?
204761 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?
204761 What shall we render, bounteous Lord, For all the grace we see?
204761 When God descends with men to dwell, And all creation makes anew, What tongue can half the wonders tell?
204761 When shall the voice of singing Flow joyfully along?
204761 When, as returns this solemn day, Man comes to meet his Maker, God, What rites, what honors shall he pay?
204761 Where shall the child of sorrow find A place for calm repose?
204761 Where shall we go to seek and find A habitation for our God?
204761 Who is thy neighbor?
204761 Who shall a temple build for him, Who fills the heaven of heavens alone?
204761 Who shall towards thy chosen seat Turn, O Lord, his favored feet?
204761 Why do we mourn departed friends, Or shake at death''s alarms?
204761 Why weep for those, frail child of woe, Who''ve fled and left thee mourning here?
204761 Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad?
204761"Is this a fast for me?"
204761''T is a point I long to know,-- Oft it causes anxious thought,-- Do I love the Lord, or no?
204762 And didst thou bleed?--for sinners bleed?
204762 And have we heard the word with joy?
204762 Bound upon the accursed tree, Sad and dying, who is he?
204762 But hast thou finally forsook, Forever cast thine own away?
204762 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?
204762 For whom, for whom, my heart, Were all these sorrows borne?
204762 From marble domes and gilded spires, Shall curling clouds of incense rise?
204762 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?
204762 Hast thou wasted all the powers God for noble uses gave?
204762 If I love, why am I thus?
204762 Is it where sunny skies grow dim With smoke of heathen sacrifice?
204762 Is there a blissful home, Where kindred minds shall meet, And live and love, nor ever roam From that serene retreat?
204762 Is there a time of rushing grief, Which scorns the prospect of relief?
204762 Is there no kind, no healing art, To soothe the anguish of the heart?
204762 Lord, what offering shall we bring, At thine altars when we bow?
204762 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas?
204762 O Thou, who didst allow Thy Son to suffer thus, Father, what more couldst thou have done Than thou hast done for us?
204762 Our fathers, where are they, With all they called their own?
204762 Say, does my heart unchanged remain, Or is it formed anew?
204762 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?
204762 The Saviour bids you speed; O, wherefore then delay?
204762 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?
204762 Though high above all praise, Above all blessing high, Who would not fear his holy name, And laud and magnify?
204762 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
204762 Thy hand has raised us from the dust; The breath of life thy Spirit gave; Where, but in thee, can mortals trust?
204762 Thy neighbor?
204762 We mourn for those who sin?
204762 What friend have I in heaven or earth, What friend to trust but thee?
204762 What if a shining beam of noon Should in its fountain stay, Because its feeble light alone Can not create a day?
204762 What mortal hand shall dare to paint A semblance of thy glory, Lord?
204762 What though my house be not with thee As nature could desire?
204762 What voice shall bid the progress stay Of truth''s victorious car?
204762 When disciplined by long distress, And led through paths of fear and woe, Say, dost thou love thy children less?
204762 Who is my neighbor?
204762 Who with another''s eye can read, Or worship by another''s creed?
204762 Why art thou cast down, my soul?
204762 Why hast thou cast our lot In the same age and place?
204762 Why should I shrink at thy command, Whose love forbids my fears?
204762 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth?
204762 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb?
204763 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?
204763 And could a single pious soul So rich a boon obtain?
204763 And do you love him?
204763 Bound upon the accursed tree, Dread and awful, who is he?
204763 But will indeed Jehovah deign Here to abide, no transient guest?
204763 Dear is the spot where Christians sleep, And sweet the strain which angels pour; O why should we in anguish weep?
204763 Doth not each rain- drop help to form The cool, refreshing shower, And every ray of light to warm And beautify the flower?
204763 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?
204763 In search of empty joys below, Why toil with unavailing strife?
204763 Is a mighty famine now In thy heart and in thy soul?
204763 Is there an hour of peace and joy, When hope is all my soul''s employ?
204763 Nought doth the world afford, But toil must be the price; Wilt thou not, servant of the Lord, Then toil for paradise?
204763 O, when shall these glad tidings spread The spacious earth around, Till every tribe and every soul Shall hear the joyful sound?
204763 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand?
204763 Say, shall we yield him in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine?
204763 Shall man remain in silence, then, While all beneath the skies The chorus joins?
204763 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny?
204763 The debtor humbly sues, Who would, but can not pay; And shall I lenity refuse, Who need it every day?
204763 The graves of all his saints he blest, And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying Head?
204763 Thy neighbor?
204763 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?
204763 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?
204763 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?
204763 What if the springs of life were broke, And flesh and heart should faint?
204763 What tongue can tell the crown prepared The martyr''s brow to grace?
204763 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?
204763 Who may share this great salvation?
204763"Shall day like this have power To stay th''avenging hand, Efface transgression, or avert My judgments from the land?
204764 And shall not wrath relent, Touched by that humble strain, My brother crying,"I repent, Nor will offend again?"
204764 And was his mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay?
204764 Are not the righteous dear to thee Now, as in ancient times?
204764 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?
204764 But never rose within his breast, A trust so calm and deep as now; Shall not the weary find a rest?
204764 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds?
204764 Canst thou, my soul, these wonders trace, And not admire Jehovah''s grace?
204764 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom;--Who has taken him away?
204764 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?
204764 O, wondrous knowledge, deep and high; Where can a creature hide?
204764 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?
204764 Such love can we unmoved survey?
204764 The infinite Creator can Dwell in it; and may not man?
204764 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?
204764 Thee to perfection who can tell?
204764 Then who would choose to walk abroad, While here such joys are given?
204764 These are a portion of his ways: But who shall dare describe his face?
204764 Thy neighbor?
204764 When shall our happy eyes behold Thy people, fashioned in thy mould?
204764 Who, then, deserves to be adored, But God, on whom my hopes depend?
204764 Why seeks he not a home of rest?
204764 With contrite hearts, Lord, we confess Our folly and unsteadfastness: When shall these hearts more stable be, Fixed by thy grace alone on thee?
204764 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?
204765 And though thy wisdom takes away, Shall I arraign thy will?
204765 Every note with wonder swell,-- And the Saviour''s triumph tell; Where, O death, is now thy sting?
204765 How else, on soaring wing, Can hope bear high my prayer, Up to thy throne, my God, my King, To plead for pardon there?
204765 How long, dear Saviour, O how long Shall this bright hour delay?
204765 O, when, Almighty Lord, Shall these glad scenes arise, To verify thy word, And bless our wondering eyes?
204765 Thy neighbor?
20476A dwelling for th''Eternal Mind Among the sons of flesh and blood?
20476Am I his, or am I not?
20476And charity our kindred prove Derived from thee, O God of love?
20476And could the sun behold the deed?
20476And gems, and gold, and garlands deck The costly pomp of sacrifice?
20476And have we felt its power?
20476And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name?
20476And why are so seldom the meetings of prayer?
20476And why together brought To see each other''s face?
20476But shall we only render The tribute of our words?
20476Canst thou behold thy Prophet''s power, And not the God he served adore?
20476Did e''er such love and sorrow meet?
20476Discontent upon thy brow?
20476Dost thou proclaim thyself our God, Our God forever near?
20476For a rest so serene, for a covert so fair: Ah, why are the seasons of worship so few?
20476Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
20476God, thy God, shall make thee whole: Why art thou disquieted?
20476Great God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with thee in vain?
20476Have I renounced my sins, and left My refuges of lies?
20476Here will the world''s Redeemer reign, And here the Holy Spirit rest?
20476His shining robe, his joys unknown, Before thy glorious face?
20476How may we meet our conflict yet In the dark, narrow way?
20476How spread his Sovereign''s praise abroad?
20476How, but through him that path who trod?
20476Is it where northern meteors shine Or gilds the cross the southern main?
20476Its highest point what eye can find, Or to its lowest depths descend?
20476No answering voice is here, Say-- does the soldier sleep?
20476O, may I call thee mine?
20476On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
20476Or can the largest stretch of thought Measure and search his nature out?
20476Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in her crimes?
20476Or feel at death dismay?
20476Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
20476Or tremble at thy gracious hand That wipes away my tears?
20476Or twilight sleeps on desert sands?
20476Or where, in costly domes, the hymn Is taught on incense clouds to rise?
20476Or whither from thy presence run?
20476Or who, except the mighty Lord, Can with resistless power defend?
20476Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great?
20476Praise his name for life and light; Are the shadows lengthening o''er us?
20476Said he, to those who with him trod,"Would ye be my disciples?
20476Search, gracious God, and see; Or do I act a haughty part?
20476Squandered life''s most golden hours?
20476Tell me, my soul, can this be death?
20476Though hosts encamp around me, Firm to the fight I stand; What terror can confound me With God at my right hand?
20476To join with softest sympathy, And mix our friendly souls in thee?
20476To rest?
20476To thee, the uncreated Mind, What earthly altar shall we raise?
20476What arm arrest the growing day, Or quench the solar star?
20476What dissipate the gloom?
20476What eye the dazzling glories view?
20476What is Prayer?
20476What is the rule by which I walk, The object I pursue?
20476What is this absorbs me quite, Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirits, draws my breath?
20476What is your Life?
20476What mortal eloquence can raise His tribute of immortal praise?
20476What radiant light dispels the gloom?
20476What reckless soul, though stout and strong, Shall dare bring back the ancient wrong, Oppression''s guilty night prolong, And freedom''s morning bar?
20476What words of heavenly birth Thrill deep our hearts again, And fall like dew- drops to the earth?
20476When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace and thee?
20476When shall these eyes thy heaven- built walls And pearly gates behold?
20476Where are the dews that fed thee On Ethan''s barren shore?
20476Where breaks the dawn o''er spicy lands?
20476Where is God?
20476Where is Heaven?
20476Where shall I find Him, O my soul, Who yet is everywhere?
20476Where thy terrors, vanquished king?
20476Where, Lord, could I thy influence shun?
20476Who can ascend his high abode, Or venture near his throne?
20476Who can endure his light, or stand To hear the thunders of his hand?
20476Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst t''assuage?
20476Who his quiet shall molest?
20476Who shall Zion''s hill ascend?
20476Who shall at thine altar bend?
20476Who shall exalt his glorious name, Fixed in his everlasting throne?
20476Who shall lead thy child to thee?
20476Who shall violate his rest?
20476Who, O God, my guide shall be?
20476Who, but our God, has power to save?
20476Who, great God, a welcome guest, On thy holy mountain rest?
20476Why did he feel that piercing smart, And meet that cruel scorn?
20476Why on his offspring is conferred Of love so large a share?
20476Why seeks he not a pillowed bed?
20476Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour go?
20476Why should I shrink at pain and woe?
20476Why this dull and lifeless frame?
20476Wilt thou not bid the murderers look On Him they pierced, and weep and pray?
20476With thyself and God at war?
20476Without a false disguise?
20476and may these lips Pronounce a name so dear?
20476and shall we ever live At this poor dying rate?
20476and wilt thou condescend To be my Father and my Friend?
20476canst thou repine?
20476do you feel Your warm affection move?
20476does its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell?
20476from thy ways Who can tell how oft he strays?
20476is day before us?
20476still sleeps thy tuneful string?-- Still mute remains thy sullen tongue, And Zion''s song denies to sing?
20476sweeps the line That marks thy kingdom''s holy reign?
20476those chains, That clank on Freedom''s plains, By Christians wrought?
20476what for thee, In a world like this, remains?
20476what mean those holy voices, Sweetly sounding through the skies?
20476what of the night?"
20476where is thy sting?
20476where is thy victory?
20476where shall we find A temple suited to thy praise?
20476whither would ye go?
20476will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth?
20476with 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?"
20428But,said I,"what brought you to believe in the propriety of baptizing your children?"
20428But,said Mrs. Benson,"is there any resemblance between circumcision and baptism?"
20428Can I fear,said she,"to leave my children in such hands?
20428Can we not have some such meetings?
20428Can we not sing a hymn?
20428Did he?
20428Do you know,said she to me,"that I am thinking of joining your church?
20428Do you think, cousin Eunice, that the multitudes who came to John and the apostles to be baptized, brought changes of raiment with them?
20428Does covenant mean that?
20428Have we eight instances of the administration of the Lord''s Supper? 20428 How did it make you feel?"
20428How should you like, Mrs. B.,said I,"to have your little boy become a sailor?"
20428Is it necessary that the father should be left out?
20428Janette,said I,"how do you like the thought of going off so far from us all?"
20428Mr. M.,said Mrs. Kelly,"do you think that you and Mr. K. would ever think alike on this subject?"
20428Mrs. Kelly,said I,"how do you suppose that nursing children ate the first passover?"
20428O,said Mrs. P.,"is it possible that I live to see this day?
20428Of what practical use was his so- called infant''church- membership,''in addition to his being, as we all hold, a child of the covenant?
20428Ralph,said Mr. S.,"do you know who baptized you?"
20428Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
20428Shall we ever forget this?
20428So will I,said Mr. C."How good it is to be convinced, and to give up one''s own will; is it not?"
20428Well, then,said I,"must it follow that children could not be circumcised because Abraham said to men,''Believe and be circumcised''?
20428Well, what is it, my son?
20428What do you say to them?
20428What do you think,said I,"of the practice of having children baptized in the church on a week- day?
20428What was he, then?
20428What would you have named it,said my wife,"had it been a girl?"
20428What?
20428Why, sir, what you have just said,--engagement, promise?
20428Why,it was said,"are infants baptized, if they need no change of nature?"
20428Why,said Mrs. Ford,"if the coming in of Moses''dispensation did not abolish the arrangement with Abraham, why should its going out?
20428Would 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?
20428A., Mr. Chairman, please to tell us why he feels obliged to call these children"_ members_ of the church?"
20428A., and for my own sake, what objection there is to retaining the name,_ member_, in this connection?
20428Adam and Eve knew better, at first, than to say,''So long as we love and obey God, of what use are these symbols?''
20428Am I correct in such views and feelings?
20428And having Thee alone, what have I not?
20428And will God in very deed dwell on earth?
20428Are they dead and buried to sin when they are baptized?
20428Are you not so afraid of Romanism, and of''sacramental grace,''that you go to an opposite extreme?
20428As Mr. Benson said,"Who is willing to dispense with the wedding ceremony, except in cases where sadness and trouble seek concealment?"
20428Assuming that the children are members of the church, they discuss the question, as the sermon has stated, Of what church are they members?
20428B., what does all that prove?
20428Benson._ But why did not Paul receive a revelation about it, as he did about the Lord''s Supper?
20428But can men make too much of having a seal on a deed?
20428But do you think, Mrs. B., that this is necessary?
20428But is there no great, conspicuous symbol of these things,--no type, no rite?
20428But people used to say to me,"Why not wait and let Janette be baptized when she is old enough to understand it?"
20428But shall we, therefore, break our covenant?
20428But what first made you think of baptizing your little boy?
20428But where is the proof that he is?
20428But why should God bestow his inestimable blessing on the father of the faithful, and take it away from the faithful themselves?
20428But will you not think me older even than I claim to be, because I am so garrulous?
20428But, 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?
20428Can anything be plainer than this?
20428Can they make too much of having three witnesses to their wills?
20428Could Christian love be more pure than this, or prayer more pleasing to God?
20428D._ Is it possible?
20428D._ Why, my dear sir, am I not every Sabbath telling how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures?
20428Did any practise it who could have received it from the apostles, or have known those who did?
20428Did he intimate that sanctification is effected by a piece of wood, with a transverse beam, used as a gibbet?
20428Did they add,''This bridge is hereby appointed as the way of getting over the river''?
20428Did you know, Mrs. Ford, that when you came in we were just entering Mrs. Benson''s son at college?
20428Do 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?"
20428Do 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?
20428Do 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?
20428Do I realize that my children will obey God much as they do me?
20428Do I realize that the fulfilment of covenant promises is dependent on my fidelity?
20428Do I realize that the most important book a child can and does read, is its parents''daily deportment and example?
20428Do I realize the danger of retarding or hindering the work of the Holy Spirit, by evil habits, worldly pursuits, or companions?
20428Do I realize what circumstances are educating my children;--my conversation, my pursuits, my likings, and dislikings?
20428Do I, as an antidote to timidity, cultivate the fear of God and self- respect?
20428Do I, by my conversation and actions, teach my children that character, and not wealth or connexions, constitutes respectability?
20428Do my children feel they can do what they like, or that they must do what they are commanded?
20428Do my children see in me a self- command which is the effect of principle?
20428Do we not see that we are meddling with a divine prerogative, if we assume to act in such cases?
20428Does it need any such"operation"for an immersed person to rise out of the water?
20428Does it terminate at the age of twenty- one in the case of male children, and at eighteen in the case of females?
20428Does not this prove that it was not generally believed?
20428Does that destroy all the old public documents?
20428Does your pastor pour water into the child''s face and eyes, and then begin the words of baptism?
20428Everything has its memorial, its rite; are the children, is the parental relation, forgotten?
20428For why is it necessary that the sponsors should incur danger?
20428For, as Doddridge well observes,"What would have been done with the infants, or male children, of Christians?"
20428Ford._ 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?"
20428Ford?"
20428From what, then, is he turned out by being cut off?
20428Has 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?
20428Has punishment been sufficiently private, and have I tried to affect the mind more than the body?
20428Have I aimed to govern my children on the same principle and in the same spirit which God adopts in the government of his creatures?
20428Have I aimed to secure the love and obedience of my children?
20428Have I commended God to my children, and my children to God?
20428Have I felt that a timid child is in great danger of being insincere?
20428Have I granted to- day, from indulgence, what I denied yesterday from principle?
20428Have I labored to convince my child that its true character is formed by its thoughts and affections?
20428Have I punished the beginning of an evil habit?
20428Have I realized that to train my children for usefulness and heaven is probably the chief duty God requires of me?
20428Have I realized that, if I can not eradicate an evil habit, probably no one else can or will?
20428Have I remembered that it is full time to make a child obey when it knows enough to disobey?
20428Have I so prayed for my children as that my prayer produced an effect upon myself?
20428Have I suffered the indulgence of an evil habit through sloth or discouragement?
20428Have I yielded to importunity in altering a decision deliberately made?
20428Have I, in my plans, my heart, and conduct, sought first for my children the kingdom of God?
20428Have calmness and seriousness marked my looks, tones, and voice, when inflicting punishment?
20428Have these resolutions been undertaken in the strength of Christ, remembering''I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me''?
20428Have we any right to infer, in such an important matter?
20428Have we eight cases of the change of the Christian Sabbath from the Jewish?
20428He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
20428He would say to them,''Believe and be circumcised,''would he not?
20428How can you call circumcision a Jewish ordinance, when the Bible so explicitly denies it to be of Jewish origin?
20428How dare we change a day which God himself ordained from the beginning, until he makes the change as peremptory as the institution itself?
20428How did cousin Bertha feel about the baptism after your little boy died?
20428How far back to the times of the apostles can we trace it?
20428How will that reasoning answer?
20428How would it sound,"I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how am I straitened?"
20428I 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?
20428I suspect that you would feel a good deal the morning he left you, would you not?"
20428IS THERE ONLY ONE MODE OF BAPTISM?
20428IS THERE ONLY ONE MODE OF BAPTISM?
20428If Abraham and his covenant ceased with the Jewish people, how does the blessing of Abraham fully come upon us, the Gentiles?
20428If 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?
20428If so, what is it?
20428If this be so, what is"the operation of God,"which is spoken of there?
20428In case they grow up, and neglect to come with their parents to the Lord''s Supper, must they not be disciplined?
20428In having all things, and not Thee, what have I?
20428In the eleventh of Romans does not Paul say that Jews and Gentiles have one and the same''root''?
20428In this arrangement and expectation do we not find the deep roots of infant baptism?
20428Is it not so?
20428Is it true?
20428Is not baptism the initiating ordinance, as circumcision was?
20428Is the deed good for anything without the seal?
20428Is there not mercy for me, too?
20428K._ But where is it enacted?
20428K._ But where is the command to apply baptism to children?
20428K._ Did Abraham or the Jews baptize children, Mr. M.?
20428K._ Do you not think, Mr. M., that we shall all think alike about baptism in the millennium?
20428K._ How is it with infants?
20428Let me enjoy but Thee, what further crave I?
20428M._ Are they generally ready to go?
20428M._ Are you in favor of admitting people to our church who do not believe in infant baptism?
20428M._ Are you not accustomed to rely much, in your scriptural argument for infant baptism, on the baptisms of households by the apostles?
20428M._ Are you often called upon by persons who are troubled on the subject of baptism?
20428M._ But ought we not to stir ourselves up with regard to parental duties?
20428M._ Do you ever re- baptize?
20428M._ Have you had no company this evening?
20428M._ How does he make out eight cases of household baptism by the apostles?
20428M._ Is not this stronger, if anything, than Origen''s testimony, being so much nearer the apostolic age?
20428M._ 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?
20428M._ Well, sir, leaving the scripturalness of the ordinance out of question, what support does the practice get from church history?
20428M._ Were they immersed in the clothes which they had on?
20428M._ What did his friend say?
20428M._ When Paul says,"I am crucified with Christ,"do you suppose that the idea of a cross was in his mind?
20428M._ Where, my dear sir, is the command to discontinue that which was enjoined upon the founder of the race of believers for all time?
20428M._ Why, how do you understand it?
20428M._ You think well of the book of Psalms, I presume, as a help to prayer and pious feelings?
20428May I add a leaf from my observation?
20428May we not conclude that this is God''s most acceptable way of effecting the revival of religion from one period to another?
20428Much more, who will undertake to divest him of things which he never had?
20428Not having Thee, what have my labors got?
20428Now, did it creep in; or did the apostles practise it?
20428Now, 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?"
20428Now, is it allowable to depart from the original mode?
20428Now, what is Origen''s testimony as to the fact, simply, of the apostolic usage with regard to infant baptism?
20428Of 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?
20428One was,"Whether an infant might be baptized before it was eight days old?"
20428Or, does it cease on the child''s leaving the parental roof for another place of residence?
20428Or, on entering upon the married state?
20428Or, upon the commission of some great act of outward transgression, shall we pronounce the covenant to be dissolved?
20428R., what names would you substitute for_ members_ and_ membership_?"
20428Shall I call this Romish, superstitious, fanatical?
20428Shall I say, How can we, consistently with such practices among Protestants, say anything about the doctrine of penances?
20428Shall the unworthy be promiscuously admitted to its privileges?
20428Shall we deny it to the ordinances and seals of Heaven?
20428So that, I said to my friends, I go to the Bible not to say,"Must I baptize my children?"
20428Some say to us, What need is there of joining a church?
20428Supposing that the covenant still remains, why do you take baptism for the seal of it?
20428THE CHILDREN OF THE CHURCH.--ARE THEY MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH?
20428The question, as stated by the chairman, was, Are the children of believers, in any sense, members of the church?
20428Though 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?"
20428Was it superstitious and Romish?
20428Was my convenience, or the guilt of the child, the measure of its punishment?
20428Was there a dry eye in the house?
20428What authority do you show for using baptism in its place?"
20428What do you understand by that covenant?"
20428What else is there in Christianity, if we are to except baptism, in which modes are regarded or made essential?
20428What need to have it done just then?
20428What seal had your covenanting with God about your child?
20428What they that choose their God do, who can tell?
20428Where is it mothers learn their love?
20428Who will declare even his prospect of their fulfilment to be terminated at any given time?
20428Whom do you mean, sir?
20428Why bring the child to baptism?
20428Why comes he here, in connection with the Saviour, and tells me that if I am Christ''s, then am I his, Abraham''s, seed?
20428Why do they hardly feel that they have prayed if company, or a bedfellow, on a journey, keeps them from using oral prayer?
20428Why do they have special seasons for retirement, if they walk with God?
20428Why 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?
20428Why is it not enough for God to make a promise, and you make one, and let it be without any sign or seal?"
20428Why may I not be a Christian by myself?
20428Why should their innocent age make haste to the forgiveness of sins?
20428Why was I allowed to see this day, and enjoy this?"
20428Will the adorable Trinity be present at such a scene as this?
20428Will they be wiser than God?
20428You 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?
20428and, if not, what relation to the church do they sustain?
20428but,"Am I forbidden to baptize them?"
20428said I,"or what will he be to you, from this time?"
29427And Leela''s?
29427But afterwards? 29427 But are you going to play with it?"
29427But, Chellalu, where did you get them?
29427But, Chellalu, where did you get them?
29427But, Yosépu, what is wrong?
29427Ca n''t you do something to improve her expression?
29427Did 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?"]
29427Do all your children have their food every two hours?
29427Do n''t you go?
29427Do you go to school now?
29427Do you know where she is now?
29427Do you like the kindergarten?
29427Do you want anything, Yosépu?
29427Has she gone far? 29427 Have we been influenced?"
29427Have you ever seen the god to whom your little ones would have been given?
29427Have you no women relations?
29427How could I teach others to be unworldly if I myself did what to them would appear worldly- minded?
29427How do you choose them?
29427How do you know the time?
29427I suppose you do n''t know what all these are?
29427If we could help you,she was asked,"would you like to come to us?"
29427If you had to describe Chellalu, how would you do it?
29427Is it right to give this little child to a life like that?
29427Is she not my child? 29427 May you do that?"
29427My sun has set; but who am I, that I should complain or assault the decrees of Providence? 29427 Never, never?"
29427Numerous are my womenfolk, but they are all cumbered with children: how can they help me?
29427Only pray?
29427To what purpose is this waste?
29427Well, Yosépu, what is it?
29427Well, Yosépu?
29427Well, then, do n''t you like the kindergarten?
29427What can an infant know about such matters? 29427 What care I for your Collector?
29427What did Isaac say to his father as they walked alone together?
29427What does God do when His fire goes out?
29427What does your child have?
29427What games, Bala?
29427What is it like? 29427 What is the death of a babe?
29427What is this talk about being a Christian?
29427What know I? 29427 What sort of medicine, Amma?"
29427What''s the matter?
29427Whatever is he doing with that black box?]
29427Where is he, Seela?
29427Where is the babe? 29427 Who did it all?"
29427Who for?
29427Who is in the nursery now?
29427Why do n''t you let Vineetha ask you what it is?
29427Why does your child sleep with Leela''s?
29427Why leave spaces with dotted lines? 29427 Why not?"
29427''What work does your husband do?''
29427Am I not a_ Merciful_ Servant?"
29427And Socrates sums the argument thus:"To be brief; is it not the same in everything?"
29427And the god to whom these young child- lives are dedicated?
29427And yet surely the work of saving these little children had been given to us to do?
29427And yet why should we shrink from it when the purpose which compels is the saving of the children?
29427Are there any prayers like the old psalms in their intense sincerity?
29427Are there not evenings when our toys have no power to please or soothe?
29427Are you wiser than your fathers, that their religion is not good enough for you?"
29427As 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?
29427Besides, to be very practical, what is the use of warning if we may only warn?
29427But how could we refuse the little children?
29427But must we wait till India leads the way?
29427But must we wait until it comes?
29427But supposing she dared it all, and an angel were sent to guide her, have we any right to protect her?
29427But take her up in your arms, and she buries her curls in your neck, and coos her apologies( or is it forgiveness?)
29427But the Lord on high is mightier than a million million devils, and what are five to Him?
29427But they smiled at me and said:''Did you ever hear of such a thing as you ask in foolishness?
29427But who is sufficient for even this?
29427CHAPTER X Failures?
29427CHAPTER XII To what Purpose?
29427CHAPTER XXXV What if she misses her Chance?
29427Can it be that so many are meant to stay at home?
29427Can you tell me?"
29427Chellalu brandished the pointer, then turned to Rukma with a confidential smile,"Cat?
29427Could any contrast contain a more persuasive call?
29427Could any two scenes present a more moving contrast?
29427Could love do more?
29427Could you overtake her?"
29427DID YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE IT?"
29427Did not Calvary cost?
29427Did we wait until India herself asked for the abolition of suttee?
29427Do you think your Lord Jesus can deliver you from our hand, or prevent us from doing as we choose with you?
29427Does this sound intolerant and narrow, as if no good existed outside our own little pale?
29427FAILURES?
29427Glory of mountain and waterfall, charm and delight of rainbow in spray; but what lies behind the coloured veil?
29427Had she not told her to make a salaam, and had not the little hand gone up in serious salute?
29427Has our story wandered sometimes into sorrowful ways?
29427Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
29427He sent it to me with a sorrowful word written across it,"Result?
29427How can I serve the god, being blind?"
29427How can he find me if I choose to lose myself?
29427How can you prove anything against me?"
29427How could anything that was wrong be sanctioned by the gods?
29427How could she marry her properly?
29427How did you come to us, you dear?
29427How do the Temple women get them in the first instance?
29427How else could it be continued?"
29427How far out of its selfish track does it move the life into ways of sacrifice?
29427How will she hold out against it?
29427I suggest; but Pyârie continues as before:"What is it?
29427If either forgets it, the other corrects her by remarking inquiringly,"Tankou?"
29427If there is distance and want of sympathy between those who are called to be workers together with the great Master, is not something wrong?
29427Is it at the top or at the bottom?"
29427Is it fair to call her by a name which belongs by right to one who is different, in that her life is self- chosen?
29427Is it the custom to give up a child, once it is ours?''"
29427Is there not provision for the impossible?
29427It is the will of our Father that this little one should perish"?
29427It is worse with that little girl to- day; there is less inward revolt; and to- morrow how will it be with her?
29427Kindergarten room want flowers?
29427Must it not do good in the end, however agitating the immediate result may appear?
29427Naughty?
29427O God, wherefore art Thou absent from us for so long?
29427Oh, lovely lily, Who did it all?
29427Oh, need we ever fear?
29427One has a picture- book, and the other is looking eagerly as she turns the pages and questions:"What is it?
29427Ought this interpretation of the Indian Penal Code to be possible?
29427Perhaps 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?
29427Rather, could we forget them if we would, and dare we hide away the knowledge lest somewhere someone should be hurt?
29427Said 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?"
29427Shall we try to put them on again?"
29427Should I not have a daughter to wait upon me and succeed me?
29427Should we bury them away lest they hurt some sensitive soul?
29427Should we forget these things?
29427Should we have done it?
29427So 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?
29427So the question was often asked:"But do the children really exist?"
29427So why should we give them to you?''"
29427Sometimes a sudden light falls on the way, and we look up and still it shines: and what can we do but"follow the Gleam"?
29427Surely such action would be Imperially right; and can a thing right in itself and carried out with a wise earnestness, ever eventually do harm?
29427TO WHAT PURPOSE?
29427The children had appeared to be sincerely sorry when I spoke to them, and if so, why proceed to extremities?
29427The secret wouldst thou know To touch the heart or fire the blood at will?
29427The whole situation bristles with difficulties; but are difficulties an argument for doing nothing?
29427Then by way of emphasis the story is attempted in English:"Very good?
29427There was pose certainly, but where was the smile?
29427There was pose, certainly, but where was the smile?"
29427They give the baby a chance: should we do less?
29427WHAT IF SHE MISSES HER CHANCE?
29427Was her mother not my wife?
29427Was it strange that the question came again to ourselves, and to others too?
29427Was it waste?
29427Was the work going to grow much more?
29427Was there anything to be done besides praying?
29427We do not look for gratitude in this work; who does?
29427We feel afresh the force of the question:"Is anything too hard for the Lord?"
29427We sometimes think we shall one night be heard talking in our sleep, and the burden of our conversation will be always--"What is it?
29427What can I do?"
29427What care I?
29427What colour is it?
29427What comes afterwards?"
29427What hinders you doing the same to the elder?"
29427What if it cost?
29427What if it seem impossible to face all that surrender may mean?
29427What if she misses her chance?
29427What is it?"
29427What is it?"
29427What may I say to the Harebell supposing she asks me this question?
29427What may we say to her?
29427What of that girl by the fireside?
29427What of the girl by the fireside crushing down the sense of an Under- call that will not let her rest?
29427What of the woman, strong and keen, with pent- up energies waiting for she knows not what?
29427What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits towards me?
29427What shape is it?
29427What shape is it?
29427What symbols are carved into the cliff?
29427When will such a worker come?
29427Where is it, Accal?
29427Where is she to- day?
29427Who has the right to come between this child of mine and me her father?"
29427Who made it?"
29427Who made it?"
29427Who made you straight and tall To give pleasure to us all?
29427Who that has known it will doubt it?
29427Who were they that they should withstand it?
29427Who would?"
29427Whose name and power do they represent?
29427Why art thou so heavy, O my soul, and why art thou disquieted within me?
29427Why did it follow her everywhere?
29427Why did we overcrowd?
29427Why not write the whole fact?"
29427Why should the child presume to greater wisdom than its father?
29427Why should two babies share one lap?
29427Why was she not awakened and compelled to behave properly?
29427Will she ask Him to fit her to obey?
29427Will she continue to insist upon a corner to herself?
29427Will she, if she is in doubt about His will, wait upon Him to show it to her?
29427Will the Lord absent Himself for ever?
29427Would it not seem almost selfish to try?
29427Would they be quite so cool, we wonder, if the little wronged girl were their own?
29427Would 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?"
29427and will you show me the way, for it is such a long way and I do not know how to find it?
29427did I not say it before?
29427does someone ask?
29427questioned 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?"
29427varied by"What colour is it?
29427was 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?"
29427what is the matter?"
33247And is n''t it a fine thing to be in earnest?
33247And yet, can you understand it? 33247 But,"some one objects,"this is not in the Standards of our Church?"
33247Does it come once for all? 33247 Have I got_ that_?"
33247I thought you told me you could do what you liked?
33247Is anything too hard for the Lord?
33247Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?
33247Then 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?
33247What new thing can these Convention speakers tell you? 33247 Why have the masses of the people lapsed from the Churches?"
33247Why, then, wo n''t you come with me as I asked you?
33247Wilt 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?
3324734,"Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?"
332478);"Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?"
33247A.?
33247All in vain?
33247And if he knows it, may he not bear witness to the fact?
33247And the man of God said, Where fell it?
33247And where are we to get the enabling power?
33247Are we willing to be cleansed?
33247Before you read further, had you not better confess your sin, and tell the Master that you purpose in your heart new obedience?
33247But Paul''s first question to them was,"Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?"
33247But now the question is,--not what can the believer do by his efforts to overcome indwelling sin, but what can the Almighty God do?
33247But_ can_ this be the man who quailed before the look of the waiting- maid who charged him with being"with the Nazarene"?
33247By parity of reasoning, if Christ has baptized a pardoned man with the Holy Ghost, may that man not know it?
33247By 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"?
33247Can He not save from sin, from sinning?
33247Can He not"guard from stumbling?"
33247Can this be the man that"began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak"?
33247Do not we_ all_ need?
33247Do we appreciate the immense difference between"claiming"and"asking"?
33247Do we know Pentecost experimentally for ourselves?
33247Do you know why Peter and John, Ananias and Paul, spake of the Fullness of the Spirit?
33247Do you know why we have not spoken of it to our converts and young Christians?
33247Does it come once for all, or is it always coming?
33247Does it come once for all?
33247Does your Church, your neighborhood feel the vivifying, fructifying, refreshing influences of your presence?
33247From this expression may we not learn the freeness of the blessing?
33247From this expression may we not learn the"_ suddenness_"with which the blessing sometimes comes, and comes consciously, too?
33247From this expression may we not learn the_ personality_ of the Holy Ghost?
33247Had it not better be attended to now?
33247Has it then been verified in your life and experience?
33247Has modern practice been in accord with apostolic practice in this respect?
33247Has not God told him it_ is_ His will?--has He not promised it?--has He not given it to him?
33247Have we been stopping short at half salvation?
33247Have we claimed and received our share?
33247Have we improved then on the apostolic method?
33247Have we life in Christ?
33247Have we not known some Christian men who, as has been well said, are like well- supplied cruet- stands?
33247Have we then, unhappily, through disobedience or neglect, lost the blessing which once we possessed?
33247Have we"received"?
33247Have you cashed the check?
33247Have you claimed it?
33247Have you found the spot where your obedience failed?
33247Have_ we_ overlooked this fact?
33247Have_ you_ obeyed this command?
33247Having now considered the passages in which the various tenses are used, we are able to answer the question-- How does the blessing come?
33247His birthright by virtue of his new birth?
33247How can one''s life be filled with the fruit of the Spirit, unless one''s heart is first filled with the Spirit Himself?
33247How can we be filled with the Holy Ghost if we are filled with something else?
33247How long Between the New Birth and the Filling?
33247How will He grieve if we decline to"buy,"or hesitate to"drink"?
33247How?
33247How?
33247If Christ is here a person, why should the Holy Ghost be a mere influence?
33247If not, why not?
33247If not, why not?
33247If not, why not?
33247If not, why not?
33247If these Ephesians had this experience, why may not believers still?
33247In the R. V., Paul''s question is rendered,"Did ye receive the Holy Ghost when ye believed?"
33247Is it a sin for a believer to- day to disobey the command,"Be not drunk"?
33247Is it a"crisis"or a"process"?
33247Is it not the Church members that elect these men and put them into office in the Church of God?
33247Is not this blessing his very own?
33247Is not this what is meant when it is said,"He is able to save to the uttermost"?
33247Is the King''s Image visibly, permanently stamped upon us?
33247Is the trouble nowadays in the demand or in the supply?
33247Is the"cleansing"of verse 7 the same as the"cleansing"of verse 9?
33247Is there a man on earth who can stand before the infinitely Holy One and say,"I do not come short of Thy glory"?
33247Is there any reason why it should ever be an empty, barren form in our own day?
33247Is there anything in my life and experience to correspond with_ that_?
33247Is there not a cause?
33247Is there one saying,"Oh that I were as in the months of old!"?
33247Is this all Christ meant when He said,"Come unto Me"?
33247Is this life of constant disappointment the normal life of the Bible Christian?
33247Is_ creation_ an"act"or a"work"?
33247It is known that all do not perfectly agree as to the best answer to the question: How to be filled with the Spirit?
33247It 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?
33247May he not tell what still greater things the Lord hath done for him?
33247May this not savor of egotism?
33247Must_ this_ necessarily be egotism?
33247Nay, does Christ not expect him to confess?--to tell what great things the Lord hath done for him?
33247Now comes the question,"How am I to get it?"
33247Now, if Christ has taken away a man''s sin, may that man not know it?
33247Now, if you are asked, Do you obey the command,"Be filled with the Spirit,"what is your answer?
33247Of what avail will all God''s"giving"be if a man does not"receive"?
33247Of what use is a"seal"if it can not be seen?
33247One may ask, what is it to be"filled with the Spirit"?
33247Or, if not despising, are you neglecting it?
33247Perhaps the more correct way of putting it would be, Why have the Churches lapsed from the masses?
33247Prayer._"How much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?"
33247Reader, if you are asked, Do you obey the command,"Be not drunk with wine,"what is your answer?
33247Since then"the promise is unto_ you_,"the question for"you"to settle is, Have you"_ received_"the promise?
33247The first point to be settled is,"Is that the Master''s will for me?"
33247The question then arises, What is it to have a"clean heart"?
33247These objectors or the Sacred Record?
33247To whom does"the promise"of the Father belong?
33247WHO now crosses that desert a second time on our behalf with great camel loads of wine and milk?
33247WHO was it that first crossed the wild with a cup of living water to slake our dying thirst?
33247We have considered how the Fullness is obtained, but now we proceed to consider, How does the Fullness come?
33247We 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?
33247What are we to say of these cross- grained or fretful, or worldly- minded, or covetous, or pleasure- loving professors of religion?
33247What did it cost Him to draw that water from Salvation''s well, or to buy those luxuries for growth and power?
33247What have we done with_ our_ deposit?
33247What have you done with your birthright?
33247What is sin?"
33247What is the next step?
33247What reservoir is there that does not need replenishing?
33247What will one healing, stimulating draught accomplish in us and others?
33247What, above all, will be the consequences to His glory?
33247When the housewife cleans the house, does she then go out and live in the yard?
33247Where is the room for an"if"?
33247Where was it that the student got his lost axe- head?
33247Who has a fathoming line long enough to sound the depths of that"how much more"?
33247Who is responsible for this unequal yoking?
33247Whom are we to believe?
33247Why is it that I prize this letter and keep it laid up among my treasures?
33247Why not_ now_?
33247Why, then, should he mock his Lord by saying,"If it be Thy will"?
33247Why?
33247Why?
33247Why?
33247Why?
33247Would n''t this be a vast improvement, even on making it clean after it has been made dirty?
33247Would 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_?
33247and if he knows it, may he not bear witness to the fact?
33247and is it then a virtue to disobey the equally authoritative command,"Be ye filled"?
33247or is it_ always_ coming, as it were?"
33247what is it to be"cleansed from all unrighteousness"?
33247when shall it once be?"
33247where are they?
33247why then should we not_ all_ receive?
33247why?
33015Are all the children in?
33015Darling, do you know you will soon hear the music of heaven? 33015 How did it work?"
33015How long has this been, then?
33015How was the first sand made?
33015Is it night?
33015John,they asked,"who are you?"
33015Know 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?
33015Well, but,say some,"is there not a sowing time as well as harvest?"
33015Well, did you tell your friends about having found the Savior?
33015Well, how was the first rock made?
33015Well,I asked,"have I got any peculiar kind?
33015Well,I said,"I have seen you in the audience every afternoon for several weeks and have you heard me say anything against theaters?"
33015Well,I said,"did you ever hear me say anything about theaters?
33015Well,I said,"what made you bring them up?"
33015Well,asked the chaplain,"how did that work?"
33015What made you think that?
33015Who shall be the greater?
33015Why do n''t you go?
33015Why, William?
33015Why,I suppose she said,"what has come over that man?
33015Why,she said,"Do you ever go?"
33015You say I can not live, father? 33015 A Scotchman said to him,Ay, man, why do n''t you come chain and all?"
33015After 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?"
33015Am I to let the whole world know that I am on His side?"
33015And John?
33015And the little fellow smiled and said:"Well, father, I shall be with Jesus tonight, sha n''t I?"
33015And why?
33015Are You Jealous, Envious?
33015Are Your Children Safe?
33015Are all your children in?
33015Are all your grandchildren in?
33015Are we seeking to obtain some position of dignity?
33015Are 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?
33015Are you cross and peevish, and do you make things unpleasant at home?
33015Are you getting the victory?
33015Are you growing more even in your disposition?
33015Are you more amiable?
33015Are you more patient than you were five years ago?
33015Are you not weary of the turmoil of life?
33015But she said again,"Mr. Moody, can I go to the theater if I become a Christian?"
33015Can you say it is?
33015Come, sister, wo n''t you tell your brother?
33015Come, wife, wo n''t you tell your husband?
33015Dear friend, are they all in?
33015Dear friend, are you not tired and weary of sin?
33015Did you ever have a little war of your own with your neighbors, in your own family?
33015Did you ever notice that?
33015Did you ever notice the reason Christ gave for learning of Him?
33015Did you ever think that the trouble lies with you instead of the servants?
33015Do n''t you think there is a strange look in his eye?"
33015Do we think less of ourselves and of our position than we did a year ago?
33015Do you ask me how much I am worth?
33015Do you find someone who has been offended by something you have done?
33015Do you know that for four thousand years no prophet or priest or patriarch ever stood up and uttered a text like this?
33015Do you know, when the hundred and twenty years were up, God gave the world seven days''grace?
33015Do you say:"How am I going to check covetousness?"
33015Do you tell me that John Howard, who went into so many of the dark prisons in Europe, is dead?
33015Do you tell me that Joseph is dead?
33015Do you think Elijah could have uttered such a text as this, when, under the juniper- tree, he prayed that he might die?
33015Do you think he had rest when he was teasing the Lord to let him go into the Promised Land?
33015Do you think if God was going to destroy the world, He would let us go on so prosperously as He has?
33015Do you think that Christ would shut the door in anyone''s face, and say,"I did not mean_ all_; I only meant certain ones"?
33015Do you think that a man who has such eloquence would be looking for a church?
33015For 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?"
33015Have I done all I can to get my children in?
33015Have n''t you heard of my fame as a preacher?
33015Have we been decreasing of late?
33015Have you ever seen anything in the sermons against the theaters?"
33015Have you not noticed their troubled faces on our streets?
33015He be converted?
33015He died an exile from his country and his throne, and where is his name today?
33015He died to redeem us, and shall we be ashamed or afraid to confess Him?
33015He go to these meetings?
33015He used this text, but the devil put this thought into his mind:"How do you know Christ ever said that after all?
33015He was a righteous man, and if he did that, what must the others have done?
33015His mate came in, and seeing him at his Bible, said,"John, are you interested in these things?"
33015How are we to overcome in time of persecution?
33015How can the world be overcome?
33015How can we overcome this enemy?
33015How do we gain this mighty power?
33015How long would he be governor?
33015I 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?"
33015I asked him,"How do you account for creation, for all these rocks?"
33015I asked him:"Do you believe Christ said that?"
33015I have been asked by a great many good men,"Why is it we do n''t have any results?
33015I have had people say to me,"Mr. Moody, how can I get control of my temper?"
33015I said to her after it was all over:"It turned out quite differently from what you expected, did n''t it?"
33015I said,"How do you account for the formation of the world?"
33015If he had lived such a false life that his children had no faith in his word, what would have been his feelings?
33015If men wo n''t fight here for all this reward, what will they fight for?
33015Is Henry Martyn, or Wilberforce, or John Bunyan dead?
33015Is James in?
33015Is John Knox dead?
33015Is John in?
33015Is Wesley or Whitefield dead?
33015Is he living a double and dishonest life?
33015Is it not wonderful?
33015Is it well with your children?
33015Is n''t it grand?
33015Is n''t it time for us to get our friends into the Kingdom of God?
33015Is n''t it worth a struggle?
33015Is n''t it worth fighting for?
33015Is there a prayerless father reading this?
33015It does n''t take you very long to turn around, does it?
33015Its title was:"Are all the children in?"
33015Just then a poor old colored woman rose in the audience, and said.--"Frederick, is God dead?"
33015Let me quote a few words by Dr. Chalmers:"Thousands of men breathe, move and live, pass off the stage of life, and are heard no more-- Why?
33015Men say,"What has he stopped work for?"
33015My dear friends, are we not living in solemn days?
33015My dear friends, is n''t it humiliating?
33015My dear friends, is n''t that a high calling?
33015Now will you come to Christ?
33015Now, are you ready to do it?
33015Now, how are we to get the victory over all our enemies?
33015Now, if this text was not true, do n''t you think it would have been found out by this time?
33015One day the two sisters were together, and the other said:"Now what have you got at those meetings that you did n''t have in the first place?"
33015One of these officers said at the table:"I believe that Carey was a shoemaker, was n''t he, before he took up the profession of a missionary?"
33015Or is he immersed in business and pleasure?
33015Shall I tell you what the"yoke"referred to in the text is?
33015She said,"Can you help me?
33015Some of his neighbors say,"Noah, what is your hurry?
33015Some of his relatives might have said,"What are you going to do with the old homestead?"
33015Surely that is broad enough-- is it not?
33015Taking the note from his pocket he gave it to the lady, and said:"Will you read that note aloud?"
33015That discussion has wrecked party after party, one society after another--"Who shall be the greatest?"
33015The cry of the world to day is,"Where can rest be found?"
33015The heavens will be on fire, and then what will property, honor, and position in society be worth?
33015The little fellow looked up and said:"No; is this death that I feel stealing over me?
33015The neighbors cry out,"What does this mean?"
33015The question is, are you overcoming the world, or is the world overcoming you?
33015There is nothing to be proud of-- is there?
33015They will say:"You ca n''t get away from your mother, eh?
33015Well, but we had no part in crucifying Christ; therefore, what is our sin?
33015What Does it Mean to Come?
33015What are our enemies without?
33015What can I do to overcome it?"
33015What do we see to- day?
33015What does James say?
33015What is the matter with my Christianity?"
33015What is the secret of Sunday driving, of the saloons and brothels?
33015What is the use of being five years about what you can do in five minutes?
33015What is the use of his talking about salvation for the next life, if he has no salvation for this?
33015What is your hurry?
33015What then will become of your soul?
33015What was the matter?
33015What would you think of a farmer who went on sowing all the year round, and never thought of reaping?
33015When He came into the house at Capernaum, He turned to His disciples, and said:"What was all that discussion about?"
33015When a man will drive like Jehu all the week and like a snail on Sunday, is n''t there something wrong with him?
33015When he was dying he called his father to his bedside and said:"Was n''t it a good thing that my sisters went to those meetings?
33015When the young man heard it, he said:"Do you mean to tell me that he has been converted?"
33015When you talk with them they say:"Well, when you say''the world,''what do you mean?"
33015Where Can Rest be Found?
33015Where is he to- day?
33015Where is your son, your daughter?
33015Who can soften your hard heart but Himself?"
33015Who can tell the name of any of the millionaires of Daniel''s day?
33015Who in all the world will say that Napoleon lives in their heart''s affections?
33015Who is able to reach and help drinking men like those who have themselves been slaves to the intoxicating cup?
33015Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
33015Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
33015Who were the mighty conquerors of that day?
33015Who would have such a man around him as John Bunyan in his time?
33015Whoever heard of a man going out to fish, and setting his net, and then letting it stop there, and never pulling it in?
33015Why are theaters and places of amusement crowded at night?
33015Why?
33015Why?
33015Will I die to- day?"
33015Will you not go out this very day and seek to rescue these men?
33015Will you not lay hold of the promise, and trust it, and follow Him now?
33015Will you thus live and die, O man immortal?
33015Wo n''t it be sweet, darling?"
33015Wo n''t you meet me in heaven, father?"
33015Wo n''t you take up your cross now?
33015Wonderful, is n''t it?
33015Would n''t you?
33015are you getting mastery over the world and the flesh?
33015do you believe it?
33015do you believe it?"

331805 And was his mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay?
331805 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?
331805 Then wherefore should we grieve Or what have we to fear?
331805 Thy neighbor?
331805 What shall make trouble?
33180And has He not His promise past, That thou shalt overcome at last?
33180And shall I fear to own Christ''s cause, Or blush to speak his name?

33180God, thy God, shall make thee whole; Why art thou disquieted?
33180His tender mercy never Shall we presume to share?
33180How canst thou want if He provide, Or lose thy way with such a guide?
33180How long that mandate be withstood, Which cries,"Thou shalt not kill?"
33180How may we meet our conflict yet In the dark, narrow way?
33180How, but through him that path who trod?
33180If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a brother''s pain, Are ye not base slaves indeed, Slaves unworthy to be freed?
33180Judge him, for modes of faith, Thy foe, Or doom him to the realms of woe?

33180O, who like thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe?
33180Or fasts and penance reconcile Thy justice, and obtain Thy smile?
33180Or shall we shrink from shame, Endured for Jesus''name, Our glorious Lord, once spurned and crucified?
33180Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember thee?

60669But if for some reason I had a doubt about it, and yet wished to believe the news, how should I act?
60669Can any creature rival the Lord Jesus?
60669Can not I get my thirst quenched in my own way?"
60669Can that tree be saved?
60669Can these be patched on to the costly fabric of his divine righteousness?
60669Dear reader, will you have Christ now?
60669Did 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?
60669Did you ever notice how a fir- tree will get a hold among rocks which seem to afford it no soil?
60669Did you ever tell your father that you tried to believe him?"
60669Did you suggest that it would be a horrible thing if you were to trust in Jesus and yet perish?
60669Did you take my prescription?"
60669Do not his words do good to them that walk uprightly?
60669Do you believe in Jesus?
60669Do you blame him, or would you have had him stop in Newark with his block and his cleaver?
60669Do you enquire,"Is there anything for us to do, to remove the guilt of sin?"
60669Do you fear that you would not be saved if you followed it?
60669Do you not fear that the lighthouse, and all that is in it, will be carried away?
60669Do you think it very easy?
60669Do you think the way of salvation, as laid down in the text we have quoted, to be dubious?
60669Great 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?
60669He fumbled over the Book, till his master called out,"Hans, why do you not read?"
60669He that is most loaded seems the most likely to pass in and begin the heavenward journey; but what ails the other men?
60669He would say to- morrow morning,"Where are the flint and steel?
60669How can light come through an invisible vapour?
60669How can that be, when God has pledged his own word for its certainty?
60669How can that fail which God prescribes, and concerning which he gives a promise?
60669I cried,"are you not a believer in the Lord Jesus?"
60669If I wish to believe anything, what shall I do?
60669If a man will not do the thing that is necessary to a certain end, how can he expect to gain that end?
60669If even to add to his words is to draw a curse upon ourselves, what must it be to pretend to add to himself?
60669If, then, I wish to believe, but for some reason or other find that I can not attain to faith, what shall I do?
60669In the name of God, I ask you, Which shall it be-- Christ and salvation, or the favourite sin and damnation?
60669Is it a human love, which is eating like a canker into the heart?
60669Is it any gross wrong- doing?
60669Is it love of the world, or fear of men, or longing for evil gains?
60669Is it not idolatry to allow any earthly thing to compare for one instant with the Lord God?
60669Is not that common sense?
60669Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened?
60669It 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?
60669It is written,"Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree;"but who knows what that curse means?
60669It may be that the reader is unsaved: what is the reason?
60669No language can ever tell his agony in prospect of his passion; how little then can we conceive the passion itself?
60669Now, if it be eternal, how can it die out?
60669O foolish tremblers, who has bewitched you?
60669O my hearer, wilt thou have Jesus Christ to be thy Substitute?
60669O reader, is there not common- sense in this matter?
60669OR LEAVE THY SIN AND GO TO HEAVEN?
60669One of the boys quickly asked of the teacher,"Is he to keep it?"
60669Reader, will your very fear of the wrath to come prevent your escaping from it?
60669Shall I stand like a cow staring at a new gate; or shall I, like an intelligent being, use the proper means?
60669Should I not feel mortified if my reader should know what faith is, and then get confused by my explanation?
60669Should we not astonish the old gentleman?
60669Standing there with no food, no fire, and the chopper gone, something seemed to say to me,''Will Richardson, can you trust God now?''
60669Such newly- enlightened souls often exclaim,"Why, sir, it is so plain; how is it I have not seen it before this?
60669Suppose you stand in the Slough of Despond for ever; what will be the good of that?
60669The door is there; but unless you enter by it, what is the use of it to you?
60669The sun take my portrait?
60669There is light to be had; light marvellous and heavenly; why lie in the gloom and die in anguish?
60669Thus would I urge the reader to seek faith; but if he be unwilling, what more can I do?
60669What best is there about any of us?
60669What can I ask the Lord Jesus to do for one who will not trust him?
60669What 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?
60669What could we bring if he did need it?
60669What does he need of us?
60669What does his physician say when he enquires--"Did you follow my rule?"
60669What has HE done that you should talk of him in that way?
60669What have we to do with recondite questions while our souls are in peril?
60669What is the comfort of a plan of a house if you do not enter the house itself?
60669What is the good of a plan of clothing if you have not a rag to cover you?
60669What is there of ours that could be added to his blood and righteousness?
60669What, then, is your darling sin?
60669Where do you live?
60669Who but an idiot would do that?
60669Why should not the reader do so at once?
60669Why tarry in the darkness of the pit, wherein your feet sink in the miry clay?
60669Why will you perish through perversely preferring other ways to God''s own appointed plan of salvation?
60669Why, then, do you not attend to it?
60669Will not you also try their saving virtue?
60669Will we not at once come to him, and make him our sole trust?
60669Will you have it?"
60669Will you have it?"
60669Will you make him a liar now, or will you believe his word?"
60669Would he not want all his faith?
60669Would he sell the priceless blessings of his redemption?
60669Would you tell_ me_ that you would try to believe_ me_?
60669Would you then complain,"It is a hard thing that I should die because I do not believe in eating"?
60669You, 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?
9402Ah, how does thee do?
9402And does the Bible teach you to flatter people with your tongue, while you are laughing at them in your sleeves?
9402And if your little baby dies, Mrs. Graffam,said Eddy,"he will be a flower in God''s garden; wo n''t he, Mary?"
9402And pray, how is your dear little babe, sir?
9402And who is to be the judge of our thoughts,asked Fanny,"whether they be right or wrong?"
9402Are any more of my friends here?
9402Are you?
9402But how can I have you go away alone to read your Bible, and think sadly of-- being so weak?
9402Can it be,thought the fallen man,"that I am still_ Mr._, or are they mocking me?"
9402Can thee respect a drunkard, Emma?
9402Emma,said he,"what would thee do for Peter and his family?
9402Has thee been long out of health?
9402How do you do, Willie?
9402How is your babe this morning?
9402How she could be extremely glad to see people who, she said, were''bores, and not to be endured?''
9402How would charity act toward a person whose manners are extremely rude?
9402I guess so,was the reply;"but----""But what, Willie?"
9402I know it,replied Emma;"but need he be lost, sir?
9402Is it very heavy?
9402O,thought Emma, as she looked after him,"is there none to help?
9402Of what are you thinking, Dora?
9402Perhaps 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?"
9402Shall we call at''Appledale?''
9402Thee looks delicate,said the old man;"what shall I give thee to eat, Emma?"
9402Thee looks tired, Sarah; where are the girls?
9402Thee means Peter, who lives upon the plains?
9402Was it?
9402We shall, Eddy, if we are like----"Like Jesus?
9402What can she think?
9402What do you suppose,continued Emma,"is meant by the sincere milk of the word?"
9402What does thee think of that child, Sarah?
9402What else have you?
9402What is the use of this dreadful struggle?
9402What shall I call thy name?
9402When did she die?
9402Where are you going, Mary Palmer?
9402Why it was more impolite to tell people what was foolish in their appearance, than to laugh about this appearance in their absence?
9402Why, who is Emma flying to see?
9402You know Mr. Graffam, sir?
9402You will come and see me again, wo n''t you?
9402And why so sad?
9402But now, whence came the wonderful beauty of the widespread landscape?
9402Can I aid thee in any way?"
9402Come, Susan, thee ought to be helping thy mother these hot days; but who is this friend?"
9402Do you hear the drum?"
9402Dora felt, as many under similar circumstances have felt, the earnest question pressing upon her heart:"Who is sufficient for these things?"
9402Feel sober after your last night''s high, eh?"
9402Friend Sliver laid down his hoe, and coming up to the wall, asked,"What is it, child?"
9402Graffam?"
9402Graffam?"
9402Graffam?"
9402He has a wife and four pretty children; ca n''t he be saved?"
9402Is it not so?"
9402O, would n''t it be delightful?"
9402Was it just to be polite?"
9402What have they been doing for her?
9402What say you, Fanny Brighton?"
9402What spirit possesses the human heart, when it shows a disposition to make others uncomfortable?
9402Who has not entertained this uninvited guest?
9402Why does he want to hurt folks''feelings?
9402You read the Bible, Ma--,--I mean Miss Palmer?"
9402You will not have me deceived, mamma?"
9402You would not have had me say so; but these were my feelings; so what am I to do?"
9402and yet what is gained?
9402are they not, Mary Palmer?"
12854For whereas--this is the proof--"there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
12854He is able to save to the uttermost.--Whom?
12854How 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?"
12854And God, the living God, will He not maintain His authority in your soul if you submit to Him?
12854And I ask you: What think you?
12854And about His ascension?
12854And 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?
12854And are you going to believe that, apart from any experience, and apart from any consciousness of strength?
12854And do you expect that religion is so cheap that without giving time you can find close fellowship with God?
12854And do you not believe that He loves you more than a bridegroom loves his bride?
12854And how am I to wait on God?
12854And how can that faith advance?
12854And how can we enter that life, and dwell there in the bosom of the Lamb of God, if pride rules?
12854And how can you then get it?
12854And if you say,"Do you believe that He will do it for you?"
12854And in what connection?
12854And in what does God find His happiness?
12854And is it not so with the Lord Jesus?
12854And is the sun nearer to the blade of grass than Christ is to man''s soul?
12854And now, if Jesus gives me that promise, what have I to do?
12854And now, what is the use that we are to make of this lesson of the Master?
12854And now, why does Christ say this:"Seek first the Kingdom of God?"
12854And now, will all who have never yet found it honestly, begin to say,"Lord, up to this time I have never had it?"
12854And remember those precious words in the 11th of John:"Said I not unto thee"--when did Christ say that?
12854And then, my last remark, in answer to that question,"How can it be?"
12854And therefore, if any one asks me,"How can I get rid of this compromise life?"
12854And think you that we as believers have not a great work to do?
12854And what do we see there?
12854And what happened then?
12854And what is it we now need to do?
12854And what is that place?
12854And what is the full Christ?
12854And what is the whole creation groaning for?
12854And what now is this invisible pane of plate glass, that hinders my taking the beautiful things I see?
12854And what then?
12854And what was Pentecost?
12854And what was that joy that no man could ever touch?
12854And what was that spirit?
12854And what was that?
12854And when did the Kingdom come-- that Kingdom of God upon earth?
12854And 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?
12854And why did God give the angels or man a self?
12854And why does He not do it?
12854And why is it of consequence that we should look to that?
12854And why is it of such consequence to speak thus?
12854And why?
12854And 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?"
12854Are not His gifts all good?"
12854Are 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?"
12854Are we indeed the followers and successors of Christ who went all the way to Calvary to give His blood for men?
12854Are we the true successors of Jesus Christ?
12854Are we, by the grace of God, in deep humility living a spiritual life, or are we living a carnal life?
12854Are you longing for perfect fellowship with me, longing to live where I am living, in the love of the Father?
12854Are you longing for that uninterrupted communion with God that there was in Paradise before Adam fell?
12854Are you longing to have Him, to have the perfect Christ Jesus?
12854Are you ready to say that?
12854Are you seeking a higher place than Jesus?
12854As Potiphar took Joseph, will you not take Jesus?
12854Ask what is the life Adam lives in me?
12854Beloved, are you living in the joy of the Holy Ghost?
12854Brother, do you want a better place than Jesus had?
12854But are we willing to accept it, do we cherish it?
12854But can He provide the table in the wilderness?
12854But how does Christ come to me?
12854But is not the blessed Lamb of God worth it all?
12854But is there humility on the throne of God?
12854But now comes the important question,"How can I attain this?"
12854But was not conversion only one step?
12854But what gave His death such power to atone?
12854But why, then, do God''s children so often complain that their circumstances separate them from Him?
12854But will God take one so feeble as I, and put me entirely right?"
12854Can we expect to go to Heaven in any other way than He went?
12854Christ had warned him; why did he not take warning?
12854Christ said,"How can ye believe who receive honor one of another?"
12854Did 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?
12854Did Paul find any spiritual believers?
12854Did ever a father or mother think,"For to- day I want my child to love me?"
12854Do not ask that question, but ask,"Has Christ attained it and does Christ promise to live in me?"
12854Do the people look at that pointer?
12854Do we not read in the Epistle to the Hebrews,"Let us draw near within the veil, through the blood, where the high priest is?"
12854Do we not read that when God had finished His work, and rested, it was only to begin new work?
12854Do we not thus see that every circumstance of our living, every comfort and every trial, comes from God in Christ?
12854Do you find there self- will, self- pleasing?
12854Do you indeed desire God to be all in all?
12854Do you not believe that, having bought you with His blood, Jesus is longing for you?
12854Does it only mean through Christ as the mediator, or intercessor?
12854Does not all your anxious restlessness, and futile effort, prove that you have not let God do His work?
12854Does not the Scripture say,"If He gave His life for us, we are bound to give our life for the brethren?"
12854For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?"
12854Has He not proven Himself worthy to be trusted?
12854Has not joy a far stronger attraction than anything in the world?
12854Have we been Christians so many years, and realized so little what we are?
12854Have we not often heard complaints of how much there is of pride in the Church of Christ?
12854Have we not to bow in shame before God, as we think of so much of the carnal in our hearts and lives?
12854Have you ever noticed that it is the very people whom God has blessed so wonderfully who do that?
12854Have 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?"
12854Have you ever taken hold of God?
12854Have you ever understood it?
12854Have you said that?
12854He began to think:"Must such a being as I always remain dependent on God?"
12854He does not know what to do; he immediately casts about:"How can I keep it, this death and this life?"
12854How am I to reach that blessed life?
12854How are we to be saved by this humility of Jesus?
12854How can I enter into this fellowship of the cross?
12854How 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?
12854How can we do this?
12854How can we ever fight this battle, or meet these difficulties?
12854How can we who are dead to sin in Christ live any longer therein?
12854How do I know anything about the sun?
12854How many hours a day has a young lady spent for years and years that she may become proficient on the piano?
12854How many years does a young man study to fit himself for the profession of the law or medicine?
12854How was that oak born?
12854I am not asking, do you feel that you have the power to conquer it?
12854I am not even asking, do you feel the power to cast it out?
12854I ask you, do not these two motives plead most urgently that you should say:"I will make Jesus master over my whole being?"
12854I ask,"What is Christ worth to you?"
12854I want, in the simplest way possible, to answer the question:"How does a man enter into that rest?"
12854If it was worth that to Christ, is it worth less to you?
12854If one had asked Jesus of Nazareth,"What is it Thou hast a body for; what is to Thee the highest use of the body?"
12854If 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?
12854If we bear the burden of souls, can we have this peace and joy?
12854If you ask,"Do you believe Jesus wishes to do it?"
12854In Gethsemane He cried:"Father, is it not possible that the cup pass from me?"
12854In connection with humility, some one asks,"How about that text,''In honor preferring one another?''"
12854In the 13th verse we read that Jesus at Caesarea Philippi asked His disciples,"Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
12854Is God not able so to take possession that He can be nearer to me than anything in the world?
12854Is it a description of what Christ is?
12854Is it a theological study?
12854Is 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?
12854Is it not in every beauty, or in every virtue, in every pursuit, the joy that is set before us that draws?
12854Is 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?
12854Is not that the life which we need?
12854Is there humility in heaven?
12854Is there no growth in holiness?"
12854It was at the grave of Lazarus--"that if thou believest, thou shalt see the glory of God?"
12854Jesus led him, even though he failed; and where did he lead him?
12854Just 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?
12854Let me just try to answer two very simple questions; the one:"Why should the Kingdom of God be first?"
12854Longest thou for Me?
12854Longest thou for fellowship?
12854Many Christians are asking,"What is the reason there is so much feebleness in the Church?"
12854May I ask, with reverence: What is God for?
12854Must riches or poverty, joy or sorrow, have a power over me that my God has not?
12854My brother, are you willing to be sanctified from every sin, be that sin great or small?
12854My intellect, has that been defiled by sin?
12854Now what are the works of self?
12854Oh, Christian, what is that blessing you will get?
12854Oh, have we not to bow in shame before God, as we think of His whole Church and see so much of the carnal prevailing?
12854Oh, will you look up to God in Christ Jesus once again?
12854One question that rises in every mind is this:"How can I live that life of perfect trust in God?"
12854Paul says:"Whereas there is strife and division among you, and envying, are ye not carnal?"
12854People have often asked me,"What is the reason I fail?
12854People often ask: What does the Church of our day do to reach the masses?
12854People often say to me:"But has God made all things so beautiful, and is it not right that we should enjoy them?
12854Shall we not accept the salvation that Jesus offers?
12854Shall 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?
12854Should we not each ask,"Have I outgrown my spiritual infancy?"
12854Suppose we were each, persons without a single sin; just suppose it; could we then make confession?
12854The Father said:"Will you give up that life to me?
12854The light of the sun-- can I separate that from the sun?
12854The one,"Why should it be so?"
12854The question comes again: Why is it that God''s people do not know their God?
12854The question was once asked the disciples,"What think ye of Christ?"
12854The 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?"
12854Then, secondly, how did Christ live out His life during the thirty- three years in which He walked here upon earth?
12854They 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?"
12854To a man who asks me,"How can I enter into the rest?"
12854Was that Christ''s leading?
12854We breathe without difficulty because God surrounds us with the air; and is the air nearer to me than Christ is?
12854We 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?"
12854We go to Christ to take it away, and he does not do it; and we ask,"Why will he not do it?
12854We often ask earnestly: How can I be free from the self life?
12854We often hear about the compromise life and the question comes up What lies at the root of it?
12854What about His life upon earth?
12854What am I to do if I am to have this Holy Spirit within me?
12854What are the marks of a crucified man?
12854What are the marks of a little child?
12854What are the points of difference?
12854What are we to do to get rid of it?
12854What brought deliverance to that poor condemned sinner who was most dark and wretched in his unconverted state?
12854What 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?
12854What could help those carnal Corinthians?
12854What did Christ do when He died?
12854What did Christ do?
12854What did Potiphar do?
12854What did he do?
12854What did the Israelites say?
12854What do I see here?
12854What do I see?
12854What do we read in Hebrews vii?
12854What does that mean-- You are dead to sin?
12854What does that mean?
12854What does that mean?
12854What does that teach us of Christ''s relation to the Father?
12854What happened in the first Adam?
12854What have we to say about His birth?
12854What is it that often disturbs our hearts, and our peace?
12854What is it that prevents people from coming to that entire surrender that we speak of?
12854What is more beautiful than the love of a child to his mother?
12854What is needful for that?
12854What is religion?
12854What is the Christ worth to you?
12854What is the cause of all the division, and strife, and envying, that is often found even among God''s saints?
12854What is the cause of all the wretchedness of man?
12854What is the cause of estrangement between friends?
12854What is the cause of evil speaking?
12854What is the cause of selfishness and indifference to the feelings of others?
12854What is the essential idea of a creature made by God?
12854What is the life Christ lives in me?
12854What is the real Christ?
12854What is the root of all?
12854What is the use of having a mind; and what is the use of having money; and what is the use of having children?
12854What is this joy?
12854What is, in prayer, the most important thing?
12854What life?
12854What made him so separate from others?
12854What moved Potiphar to do this?
12854What ought to be the silence of the soul unto God?
12854What think you, ought we not to humble ourselves before God?
12854What was it that led Peter to deny Jesus?
12854What was man created for?
12854What was the cause of this?
12854What would the result be?
12854When a boy twelve years of age Jesus said:"Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?"
12854When they had answered, He asked them,"But whom say ye that I am?"
12854Where did it begin?
12854Where is it standing?
12854Where shall I see the glory of God most brightly?
12854Wherein cometh the beauty and the blessedness of that exaltation of Jesus?
12854Whither had he to follow?
12854Who is God?
12854Who is going to say that is hard?
12854Who loves to have a hasty temper?
12854Who loves to have a proud disposition?
12854Who loves to have a worldly heart?
12854Why is it that the blessed Spirit can not teach us more effectually?
12854Why is it that we find it so hard to hold fellowship with God?
12854Why so seldom, and why in such feeble measure?
12854Why was that?
12854Why?
12854Why?
12854Will you have me do this?
12854Will you leave it there?
12854Will you not begin to- day?
12854Will you not choose a life in which God shall be all, and in which you rest in Him for all?
12854Will you not come and surrender all, and say,"Lord Jesus, I have made Thee overseer over all?"
12854Will you not learn to say from to- day,"Welcome every trial, for it comes from God?"
12854Will you not listen and hear Him speak to your soul?
12854Will you not open your heart, and say:"Come in; come in?"
12854Will you not take the step?
12854Will you not, like the nobleman, take the simple step of faith, and believe the word Jesus hath spoken?
12854Will you part with it at my command?"
12854Will you trust God to- day for the future?
12854Will you?
12854You 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?
12854You ask,"But must it then be dying every day?"
12854You ask,"How can I get rid of this self life?"
12854You ask,"Why is it, that for twenty years I have been fighting with my temper, and can not conquer it?"
12854You say at once,"What Christian can ever attain that?"
12854You say,"Am I able to realize that?"
12854Your heart, meant to be the home of Jesus, is it not often full of sin and darkness, full of sadness, full of vexation?
12854Your house, Christian, your spiritual life, the dwelling, the temple of God in your heart,--in what state is that?
12854and are we not rather trying to escape the sentence or to forget it?
12854and can we be happy?
12854and the other:"How can it be?"
12854why 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?''
34683And it is still your favorite flower?
34683And the bell?
34683And will you teach me how to weave these delicate hangings?
34683Are there many such,I asked,"doing this work in this beautiful realm?"
34683Are 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?
34683Could you go with me this morning?
34683Do these people stand here always, I wonder?
34683Do you not know him, auntie?
34683Do 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?"
34683Frank, 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?
34683Frank, what has that water done for me?
34683Frank, where are we going?
34683Gladly,she said;"but have you ever been to the lake or the sea?"
34683Has he seen his mother since coming here? 34683 Has he seen the Christ?"
34683He will know me as soon as the struggle is past?
34683Home? 34683 How did you know I was here, Mamie?"
34683How do you know she is coming, children? 34683 How long was he in prison?"
34683How long were you here before you met him?
34683How then,you ask,"could you reach out for more, when you had all that you could receive?"
34683I?
34683Is it any one I know?
34683Is it ever cold enough here for fires?
34683Is it not a reminder?
34683Is my sister coming soon?
34683Is not my brother''s a lovely character?
34683Is the home- life here less attractive than it was in the earth- life?
34683Is this beautiful place indeed to be my home?
34683It is your home, and I am to stay with you?
34683Just as I am?
34683Martin, can you sing here?
34683Now?
34683Oh, why did you not sooner tell me?
34683Rest?
34683Shall we go now?
34683Shall 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?"
34683The lake or the sea?
34683Then there is nothing but joy in the reunion at hand?
34683We were here at the time, and looking about, one of them asked,''May we beautify this room?'' 34683 Well, and what then?"
34683What are the duties of heaven?
34683What did she do when she saw her lovely room?
34683What does it mean? 34683 What is this lovely fabric you are weaving?"
34683What shall I tell you first?
34683What would you have me do? 34683 When shall I behold the Savior?
34683When was this?
34683When will it be? 34683 Where are you going now?
34683Where did you spring from so suddenly, dear? 34683 Where do my father''s duties mostly lie?"
34683Where is this wonderful house, Carroll?
34683Where was his papa?
34683Who are they?
34683Who is it?
34683Why not go to- day?
34683Why not?
34683Why? 34683 Will you not accompany us?"
34683Would it not be better if I brought you back a little later-- after they come?
34683Would you surely do so?
34683Yes, 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?"
34683After a moment, I asked:"''May I not remain awhile with mamma?
34683Again, the question is many times repeated,"Does this experience retain its vividness as time passes, or does it grow unreal and dreamlike to you?"
34683Am I to go to him?"
34683Are any of them books we knew and loved below?"
34683Are there a lake and sea here?"
34683As I drew in my breath with a short, quick gasp of delight, I heard my brother, who was standing beside me, say softly,"Well?"
34683As 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?"
34683As we drew near, he said in an almost pathetic voice:"Is my mother coming?"
34683But is it not nice to have Dr. Nell so near us?
34683But this is almost complaining, is it not?
34683But what is this-- a fireplace?"
34683But what was this?
34683But you did not make the stained- glass windows also?"
34683Can I describe it as it appeared to me that day?
34683Can such things be, And overcome us like a summer''s cloud, Without our special wonder?
34683Can you come with me now?"
34683Can you not come with me awhile?
34683Can you suggest anything that would probably reach him?"
34683Could the old unrest of earth find place in this divine retreat?
34683Could this radiant creature, with smooth brow and happy eyes, be the pale, wan woman I had last seen, so bowed with suffering and sorrow?
34683Did not she tell you I was here?"
34683Did you see her?"
34683Do I not know?
34683Do you believe that all Christians truly love him?"
34683Do you know them?"
34683Do you not feel that you are infinitely better prepared to confer happiness than when you parted from him you love?"
34683Do you spend all your time at this delightful work?"
34683Does she know of his arrival?"
34683Have we a home, my brother?
34683Have you forgotten the promise,''I go to prepare a place for you; that where I am, there ye may be also''?
34683He 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?"
34683How could it be otherwise when two grow together and become as one?
34683How do you find life here?"
34683How does the change impress you?
34683How else could I ever have passed calmly through those trying scenes, and witnessed the sorrow of those so dear to my heart?
34683I asked;"will he not accompany us?"
34683I cried, folding my arms tenderly about her,"then it is like the early years of your married life again?"
34683I 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?
34683I 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?"
34683I said to my brother, as we again stepped upon the flowery sward"Are all the rivers here like this one?"
34683I tried another with the same astonishing result, then turning to my brother, I said:"What does it mean?
34683I whispered,"There, dear, do you not see that I am really with you?"
34683I will leave you two together, and you will bring her to me later?"
34683Instantly she raised her head and looking at me, said eagerly:"You think so, too?
34683Is he surely, surely coming to me sometime?
34683Is it anything like these?"
34683Is it not divinely beautiful?"
34683Is it this divine life?"
34683Is she, Joe?"
34683May I bring her?"
34683May I stay a long time with you?
34683Meeting Mrs. Wickham, I pointed to the house and asked:"Who lives there?"
34683More than once the question has been asked,"Was there night there?"
34683Mother, I may have them both for a little time, may I not?
34683My 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?"
34683O joys that are gone, will we find you at last On the shores of that wonderful land?
34683O joys that are gone, will you ever return To gladden our hearts as of yore?
34683Once she turned to me and asked quickly:"When is my Uncle Will coming?"
34683One suffering mother writes,"Do you think I could pray still for my darling girl?"
34683Or is their worship ofttimes that of duty rather than love?"
34683Or was this indeed but another phase of the immortal life?
34683Shall I give you your first lesson now?"
34683Shall I hold him again in my arms, my darling boy?"
34683Shall we feel their dear arms twining Fondly''round us as before?
34683Shall we go now?"
34683Shall we know each other there?
34683Shall we see the same eyes shining On us, as in days of yore?
34683She sat for a moment lost in thought, then said wistfully:"Now, tell me of my children-- are they coming?"
34683Sprague?"
34683Sprague?''
34683The following morning my brother said to me, after an interesting hour of instruction:"Shall we go for the promised visit to Mrs. Wickham now?"
34683The question has repeatedly been asked me,"Was this a real experience, or merely a fanciful sketch?"
34683Then the thought came, as we at last arose to return,"What are we to do for towels?"
34683They 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?''
34683Was I dreaming?
34683Was he, this dearly loved one, indeed insensible to his suffering?
34683What are now the years of separation, since the meeting again is at hand?
34683What can I say to comfort you?
34683What could it mean?
34683What lovelier service could she do than to thus save the life of one so dear to her, whose earth- work was not yet done?
34683When shall I meet, face to face, him whom my soul so loveth?"
34683When 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?
34683When will you return to him?"
34683Where had I seen him before?
34683Where is my brother Oliver?"
34683Where is your sister, daughter?"
34683Which shall it be?"
34683Who but our loving Father would have thought of such comfort for a little child?
34683Why do not boys and girls talk more together about what they hear at Sunday- school?
34683Why do not teachers take more interest in the daily lives of their scholars?
34683Why do you grieve?"
34683Why is there so little really helpful talk in ordinary home life?
34683Why must she see me, to recognize this?
34683Why, why could we not know him on earth as we know him here?"
34683Will dear eyes meet our own, as in days that are past?
34683Will we find you awaiting us, some happy morn, When we drift to Eternity''s shore?
34683Will we thrill at the touch of a hand?
34683Will you come and see it?"
34683Will you not turn to me, instead of to that lifeless form in the casket?
34683Would the Father mercifully spare him even the pang of the parting?
34683You surely do not tell me that none of these are natural flowers?"
34683or will you come, too?"
34683she called, as she drew near,"do you not know me?"
9957After 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?"
9957How did you come to Christ?
9957What 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?''
9957A week after that another policeman came to me and said,''Sergeant, do you remember that booklet you gave me,"God''s Sure Promise?"''
9957About 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?''
9957About one o''clock I spoke to him and said,''Will you give yourself to the Lord now?''
9957And 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?"
9957And then I turned to the boy of fifteen and said,''Are you willing to accept the Saviour?''
9957And then he said,''Will you come to my home and pray for me?''
9957As 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?''
9957As 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?"
9957As we approached he said to me,''Sergeant, can you get me a drink of whisky?''
9957But it was not long before the enemy suggested,''This can not be faith; for where is thy joy?''
9957Do you believe that?''
9957He began by saying:-- Must Jesus bear the Cross alone, And all the world go free?
9957He said to me,"Do you believe this?"
9957He said to me,''But, Tom, I have done this and that,''''Well,''I said,''Jesus has died for you, will you accept Him?''
9957He said to me,''where do you sleep?
9957He said,"Are you a Christian?"
9957He said,"If you are not willing to give up everything for Christ, are you willing to be made willing?"
9957He said,''Do you remember me telling you I paid a sovereign for my sitting in church?
9957He said,''How did they know Him when they got to the home?''
9957He said,''What shall I do?
9957He said,''What time is it?''
9957How long is it since you saw her?''
9957I 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?
9957I got into conversation with him and after a while I said to him,''Do you ever go to a place of worship?''
9957I said to Him,''Will you do it now?''
9957I said to him,''Have you been to the mission?''
9957I said to the officers in my church one evening,"How many of you have ever led a soul to Christ?"
9957I said''Why?''
9957I said,''Are you in trouble about your soul?''
9957I said,''Are you saved?''
9957I said,''Do you take whisky when you are thirsty?''
9957I said,''Well, my boy, if you do n''t, what will become of you?''
9957I said,''Will you accept Jesus as your personal Saviour?''
9957I said,''Will you take him at His word now?''
9957I went to that saloon keeper and said to him,''How much do I owe you?''
9957If our work is to be as God would have it where shall it begin?
9957Is it necessary?
9957Is this awful waste-- this moral havoc-- unavoidable?
9957One of the officers came up and said,''Are you saved?''
9957She looked at me and said,''Are you a Christian?''
9957So I walked out as far as the Police Station, and I said,''Where is the Salvation Army going to be to- night?''
9957Some are saying,"What must I do to be a Christian?"
9957Some may ask, What is the best time to speak to my friends about Christ?
9957The next night I said to him,''Johnnie, have you thought of what we spoke on last night?''
9957Then I asked him to be honest before God, and I said,''Will you accept Him now?''
9957Then ask them, Will you do it?
9957Then he said,"Are you a Christian?"
9957Then suppose he should tell you what a strength and help it had been to him, what would you say to him?"
9957When 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?''
9957When he saw me passing he said,''What does this mean?''
9957When the Police Justice saw me coming in he said,''Where have you been to- night?''
9957When 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?"
9957When you get home tonight, will you kindly make a definite decision at your bedside?''
9957Will you accept Him just here?
9957Will you accept Him now?''
9957Will you come?''
9957Will you kindly give me your name?
9957Will you receive Him?
9957Will you say, Lord Jesus I accept Thee as my personal Saviour?''
9957Will you take Jesus now?''
9957who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
30449Are you fond of flowers?
30449But do n''t you know you are a sinner?
30449But they will put me in prison,he said:"can not you give me any help?"
30449Do you not think,said my friend,"that you had better come to Christ first?
30449Do you think, then, I would tell you a falsehood?
30449Does he belong to the Episcopal Church?
30449Have you got the money?
30449Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
30449How did you get this gift?
30449How do you explain them?
30449How do you know that he put it in the right hand?
30449How is that?
30449How long have you been here?
30449How then shall ye escape, if ye neglect so great salvation?
30449I 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?"
30449Is he a Presbyterian?
30449Is your eye off the Saviour? 30449 Man, what do you mean?
30449The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
30449The 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?''
30449Then, to what persuasion does he belong?
30449Thus 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?
30449Turn ye, turn ye; for why will ye die?
30449Well, 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?"
30449Well,said the gentleman,"what has He done to you?"
30449What do you do with them?
30449What is the noise in the camp?
30449What is the trouble?
30449What remedy?
30449Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies? 30449 Why, have you not heard about it?
30449Why, 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?
3044932:"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?"
304495, we read:"Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden by a perpetual backsliding?
3044960:"The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest Thou nothing?
30449A man said to me some time ago,"Moody, how do you feel?"
30449After a few general remarks, he turned to me and said,''Brother Charles, will you close the meeting with prayer?''
30449Again in the 32d verse:"Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?
30449Again in the 33d verse:"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect?
30449Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
30449Am I arraigned by Satan at the Divine tribunal?
30449Am I in affliction?
30449Am I persecuted by the world?
30449And do you think the Judge of all the earth will forgive you and me, and open the question again?
30449And he said,"Who can?"
30449And if, the next day, he were again to bring up that old sin, and ask forgiveness, would not that grieve me to the heart?
30449And immediately when Jesus perceived in His Spirit that they reasoned within themselves, He said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
30449And some one says:"Why, my good woman, have you not heard the good news that has come into the camp?"
30449And 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?"
30449And when the Jews came round Him and said,"How long dost Thou make us to doubt?
30449And yet what did Christ say to him?
30449Are you a professed Christian but one who is a slave to some besetting sin?
30449Are you a sinner?
30449Are you hungering after righteousness?
30449Assurance is the confident challenge,''Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect?
30449Backslider, I would ask you,"What iniquity is there in God, that you have left Him and gone far from Him?"
30449But I can imagine some one saying,"What am I to do?
30449But how can any one read the life of Jesus Christ and make Him out a deceiver?
30449But the boy does not see anything; he says--"I do not see anything; what is it, mother?"
30449But what was Christ''s object?
30449But when I have asked,"Would you not be troubled if you lost one; and would you not set about seeking for it?"
30449Can a man at once repent?
30449Can we look upon that scene, and say God did not love us?
30449Can you be censured for doing well, and not murmur?

30449Farewell"?
30449Has God changed?
30449Has He failed in His mission?
30449Has not God the power to keep?

30449Have I not seen it blow the trees in the forest, and the growing corn in the country?"

30449He inquired"How?"
30449He leant his elbows on the cot and clasping his hands together, said,"That''s good; wo n''t you read it again?"
30449He quibbles and questions,''May I?''
30449He said"Could I not take that money and go into business, and make enough to pay them back?"
30449He says in another place,"O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee?
30449He says to the young convert"You do not think I am going to believe anything like that?
30449He says,"What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they are gone far from Me?"
30449He stopped me and said,"Is that there?"
30449He went up to him, and said:"Tell me, is there not some estrangement between you and the Lord Jesus?"
30449His answer was,"Why, He has saved me; and that is a pretty good proof, is it not?"
30449How can I become a Christian without restoring it?"
30449How can these things be?"

30449I see the scowl on that Pharisee''s brow as he says,"How can these things be?"

30449If He were mere man, how could He be with us?
30449If a man is not sure of his own salvation, how can he help any one else into the kingdom of God?

37540Does this need to be said of persons who are so near, as of necessity to be always in each other''s thoughts?

37540Is it a certain style of edifice, or platform of opinion, or set of ceremonies or band of officials?
37540Is it not one of the fine as well as the useful arts-- do not its very utilities like the fountain of living water sparkle into beauty?
37540Is it not worth a life''s effort to be worthy to win and enjoy the intimate companionship of choice minds?
37540Is not all that is done in piety and charity within the household, as far as it goes, a ministration of Christianity?
37540Is not this arrangement well?
37540Is there not imperious call for such service,--for a decided stand in behalf of the moral and spiritual interests of our being?

37540Merchants, do you hold precious your written obligations?
37540Mercy,--what is it but humanity-- love in its downward look, the look with which Jesus went about among men?
37540Nay, what is the secret of the power of the poet or sage, except that he can best say what comes home to us all?
37540Need we add kindness to sincerity and earnestness as essentials of friendship, for is it not implied?
37540Peace, as the corresponding Greek word teaches, is that which binds together, and who needs this more than those whom God would bind together?
37540Take this thought seriously to heart, cherish it in meditation and prayer, how can it remain idle?
37540The church, what is it?
37540The fact that it is so essential to the Divine government would prove this; but can we not see its good fruits?

45795All right, my good woman,the atheist answered,"what is it then?"
45795There is nothing extraordinary about this stone,a friend remarked,"what peculiarity do you notice?"
45795What do I notice?
45795What do you mean by that?
45795What do you want me to give you?
45795Yes, of course,General Sherman answered,"but-- are you a Christian, Howard?"
45795Yes, 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?"
4579542 WHAT ABOUT THE DEVIL?
45795A little later he said:"I ai n''t forgotten how to pray-- want to hear me?"
45795Almost astonished I ask myself: Is it possible?
45795And what did I say?
45795And what would happen to themselves?
45795And why?
45795Are not the English the great commercial nation which embraces the earth with its countless ships?
45795Are they to get the upper hand?
45795Are wind and currents adhering to other laws in our days, or has their effect been changed?
45795At which of these altars will you pray and praise?_ The eyes of everyone look toward America as never before:"O, America!
45795But can He, the fair judge, condemn me for that which I disavow and separate myself from, what I personally oppose?
45795But has not the miracle, this unrestrained action of the powers, disappeared from the church?
45795But 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?"
45795But how about you?
45795But how were the following days?
45795But how, then, could the angels sing as they did that Christmas night?
45795But if we ask further: Whence and from what?
45795But is that all to which the brief, sorrow- laden moments can guide and help us?
45795But what would it profit America if she won the rank of a leader among nations through her strength and wealth?
45795But you ask: Dare I, a single individual, try to shoulder the burdens in my home, in the church?
45795But, now suppose that it was n''t Life, but you_ yourself_ that were to blame?
45795But, of what are they tokens?
45795But, then, tell me: Have you not at times felt the nearness of Jesus?
45795But_ you_ do n''t behave like that, do you?
45795Did you throw your arms around his neck-- did you_ smile_ at him, saying: My dear, stay home with us tonight?
45795Do you listen only to that which is carried to you by the wind of the evil tongues?
45795Do you notice only the uncouth exterior?
45795Does man possess other secrets than those of the darkness?
45795Had 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?
45795Has not England the very same qualifications?
45795Have you had similar experiences?
45795Have you not also in such moments felt a truer, a more sincere and deeper disgust with the evil character of sin, than otherwise?
45795How about France in our own age?
45795How about Jesus Christ when He,_ all alone_, bore the sin of mankind?
45795How could that be?
45795How do you look at the people among whom you live?
45795How does the river get these immense masses of water?
45795How many unbelieving physicians have not sworn as drastically as did the sailor, that they could not share the Christian faith in resurrection?
45795How shall we approach the struggle of the twentieth century?
45795How was that?
45795I ask: Who is building this place?
45795I asked: What makes you so calm?
45795In what way did you tell him this when you asked him last to stay at home?
45795Is it possible that I who found myself placed between fear and doubt, conquer both by the word of faith?
45795Is n''t this a strange way of speaking?
45795Is the law of nature violated, or is it rendered ineffective?
45795Is this truth to remain?
45795It is as when I ask someone: Do you know the ocean?
45795It 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?
45795Just 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?"
45795Nay-- who would really be able to let the harp chords burst out in a song of joy-- under_ such conditions_?
45795Nevertheless-- do you think Paul speaks aimlessly?
45795Or France-- that liberty- loving nation with its technically wonderfully developed language?
45795Or do you listen to the undertow in the depths of the heart, to the heaving sighs, the hollow roaring from within?
45795Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
45795Or is n''t it rather the case that there is something of_ relief_ in bearing burdens for others-- something of a_ gain_?
45795Or was the charity of the auditors so far- seeing that it rejoiced in behalf of generations yet unborn?
45795Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
45795Or, will the development favor a retention of the native languages of the various nationalities here together with English?
45795Or, 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?
45795Paul then asks:"Is it lawful to scourge a man that is a Roman?"
45795SEEST THOU THIS WOMAN?
45795Seest thou this man?
45795Somewhat doubtfully, the chaplain asked him:"What can you pray?"
45795THE WORTH OF YOUR SOUL"FOR what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
45795The Christmas Angels: Dost Thou Remember?
45795The 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?
45795The others left it all to me, although they had the same obligations that I have-- what then?
45795Then an old woman, her back bent with the weariness of life and years, arose, saying:"Sir, I have a question to ask you?"
45795Then it was as though a kind and soothing voice whispered into my ear: Dost thou remember Christmas Eve at home?
45795There was love for Jesus._ Seest thou this woman?
45795WHAT ABOUT THE DEVIL?
45795Was it a matter of distance only?
45795Was it a series of happenings without aim, without meaning?
45795Was it not as though the twinkling stars were smiling at him-- calling him, as it were?
45795Was 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?
45795Was not He like a luminous star in your life?
45795Was not He your soul''s refuge in the darkness?
45795Was not the world filled with war and disturbances in those days, too?
45795Was not the world full of souls in quest of lost peace?
45795Was that an evil power which from without, by chance, disrupted our life?
45795Was there room for him up there?
45795Was this, too,_ planned_ by the God of Israel?
45795Well, who believes in it nowadays?
45795What happens then?
45795What is the reason for this?
45795What is your choice?
45795What profited it Germany that she possessed her soul- less mechanical attainments, even though they were ever so wonderful and marvelous?
45795What shall I do, then?
45795What shall we do?
45795What should he do?
45795What then?
45795What were they doing, then?
45795What would it have profited Germany to have gained the whole world when she would lose her soul thereby?
45795When problems of world significance were to be settled, the question was asked: What does America say about it?
45795Where shall I seek refuge?
45795Where shall I seek that explanation which reconciles me with the word of the Lord, and which brings peace into my soul?
45795Who were they?
45795Who would have known how to plan thus?
45795Who would have the strength to subdue and master the giant powers?
45795Why is it that America has superior qualifications?
45795Why?
45795Will I accomplish anything but being crushed under the weight of the burdens?
45795Will her future brighten?
45795Will there not be very little to bring forth in the way of good secrets from the recesses of the heart?
45795Wonder if the ambulance is n''t coming soon?
45795Would n''t any mother''s heart break when she had to witness her son die the death of a condemned criminal?
45795Would no one find him?
45795You are a Christian,"Sherman added;"well-- what do you say?"
45795You often hear it said: You claim that God loveth mankind: But why, then, does_ He_ let some suffer in all eternity?
45795Your 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?
14237Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister unto them who shall be the heirs of salvation?
14237Can a mother forget her sucking child?
14237Dost thou live, man, dost thou live, or only breathe and labor? 14237 For what knowest, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband?
14237For 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?"
14237How can two walk together except they be agreed?
14237How can two walk together except they he agreed?
14237How can two walk together, except they be agreed?
14237I 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?
14237Is 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?
14237Not 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?
14237Shall 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?
14237The 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?"
14237What could a mother''s prayer, In all the wildest ecstacy of hope, Ask for her darling like the bliss of heaven?
14237What do you mean?
14237What fellowship hath light with darkness?
14237What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 14237 What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
14237What is in a name?
14237What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
14237What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
14237Who loves,says William Jay,"to take his meat from a leprous hand?"
14237Who would not be an infant now, To breathe an infant''s prayer? 14237 Whom have I in heaven but thee?"
14237Why 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?
14237A minister was once asked,"Do you not believe christianity upon its evidences?"
14237Am I able to support a family?
14237And are they not more suitable for the Christian home than any other?
14237And are you, then, in your marriage, agreed to walk with the unbeliever in the broad road of sin and death?
14237And 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?
14237And further, can you spend your time to better purpose than in family prayer?
14237And if this church- founding sacrament brings your child into a living and saving relation to the church, then why deny it that baptism?
14237And in doing this for God, are you not also doing it for the child,--yea, if you are Christian parents,--for yourselves?
14237And is it not a matter of daily observation that the wickedness of the parent is entailed upon the child?
14237And is not their influence as salutary?
14237And shall any other kind save Christian habits, be found in the Christian home?
14237And shall not all, our blessings brighter drop From hands we loved so well?
14237And shall we refuse the tribute of sorrow to the memory of those dear ones who sleep beneath the sod?
14237And the Lord said unto him, who hath made man''s mouth?
14237And the question at once arises, what kind of a whip?
14237And 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?
14237And then what will become of your child if he is ignorant of any pursuit in which to engage for a subsistence?
14237And was the only victim thou couldst find, An infant in its mother''s arms reclined?"
14237And were not Lois and Eunice rewarded for their faithfulness to young Timothy?
14237And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
14237And what is home?
14237And what then is the first joyful cry of the fond parents, after the solemn ceremony is ended?
14237And who are they that are dying without hope and without God?
14237And why is this so often done?
14237And will not the curse rest upon you?
14237And will not the day soon come when you must"give an account of your stewardship?"
14237And yet with the plainest teachings of the gospel before them, is it not strange that there are so many virulent enemies to infant baptism?
14237And, tell me, does the true Christian desire any other than a Christian home?
14237Are they not as beautiful as other names?
14237Are we complemental to each other?
14237Are we congenial in spirit, sentiment, principle, cultivation, education, morals and religion?
14237Are you ashamed of your children?
14237Are you not, Christian parents, responsible to God for the exercise of such sovereign power over the character and well- being of your dear children?
14237Art thou free, or enslaved to a routine, the daily machinery of habit?
14237As 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?
14237As infants, therefore, are subjects of grace, why not subjects also of baptism?
14237As they are included in the covenant, why not enter it by the divinely constituted sacrament of initiation?
14237As they are included in the plan of salvation, why not receive it in a churchly way?
14237Ashamed of what?
14237Because they desire to bring them into the fold and bosom of the church, and place them in saving relations to the means of grace?
14237Because they wish to express their vows of dedication in that sacramental form and way which God has appointed?
14237Besides, is it not the right, yea, the duty of parents to bias their children in favor of the religious creed of the parental home?
14237But if out of Christ there is no salvation, then tell me, how will infants be saved?
14237But if they had lived, might they not also have been a source of the deepest sorrow and misery?
14237But was it such?
14237But what is family prayer?
14237But what_ is_ home,--home in the sphere of nature?
14237But why neglect family prayer?
14237Can I discharge the duties of a household?
14237Can he be the head of a Christian home?
14237Can 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?
14237Can saint and sinner be of one mind, one spirit, one life, one hope, one interest?
14237Can the irreligious parent bring up his offspring"in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?"
14237Can the ungodly wife or husband fulfill this mission?
14237Can there be family religion when husband and wife are traveling to eternity in opposite roads?
14237Can these now walk together, live in harmony, when so widely different in spirit, in their aims and pursuits?
14237Can these walk together, in domestic union and harmony?
14237Can they reflect upon their daughters for forming improper attachments and alliances?
14237Can they wonder if their sons become desperadoes, and ridicule the religion of their parents?
14237Can this be right?
14237Can we sympathize and work harmoniously together in mind and heart and will and taste?
14237Could I be happy with such an one?
14237Dare you reverse the divine procedure which God has ordained for the salvation of His people?
14237Did not God punish the first born of Israel, because their fathers had sinned?
14237Did not the Spartan mother and her home give character to the Spartan nation?
14237Did they go to these places under the holy influence of devout and faithful parents?
14237Do not the tears of the Christian home reflect the tears of Jesus?
14237Do we not love it?
14237Do you desire to refine and elevate their souls with beauty and sublimity?
14237Do you love yourself?
14237Do you permit your sick to die rather than to inflict the pain of giving them the medicine to cure?
14237Do you regard your own comfort and welfare?
14237Do you wish them to come under the influence of eloquent oration?
14237Do you wish to inspire them with song?
14237Does not the parent''s faith forbid the intrusion of a doctrine so revolting as this?
14237Does the gospel place them under such a ban of proscription?
14237Dr. Johnson was once asked,"Who is the most miserable man?"
14237From the faithful Christian home?
14237HOME AS A STEWARDSHIP.--What is a Steward?
14237Had they pious fathers and mothers?
14237Have Parents a right to take any part in the Marriage Choice of their Children?
14237Have not I the Lord?
14237Have parents a right to take any part in the marriage choice and alliance of their children?
14237Have they a right to interfere in any respect with the marriage of their children?
14237Have thoughts and associations like these no demoralizing influence?
14237Have you no time?
14237Have 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?
14237Here is a habit of action: is it godly?
14237Here is a habit of conversation: is it holy?
14237Here, for instance, is a habit being formed,--habit of thought: is it pure?
14237How can he bring up his children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?
14237How can parents admonish their children against novel reading after they have taken their names from novels?
14237How can the unbeliever return, like David, to bless his household?
14237How soon may beauty fade; and what then, if it was the only basis of your marriage choice?
14237If Christ is the Saviour of infants, why not bring them to Him through baptism?
14237If our tent- home stirs up within us imperishable joys, by the power of anticipation and foretaste, what joy will not that better land afford?
14237If so, then are we not responsible for our habits?
14237If so, then is it not plain that baptism goes before the self- conscious faith of the subject?
14237If so, then why object to infant baptism?
14237If the members of your household may he ruined here by a bad example, what will be its consequences in the eternal world?
14237If"out of the mouths of babes and sucklings God has perfected praise,"then why not train them up to praise Him?
14237Is it all of home, religious culture to bias them to a particular creed?
14237Is it for money you have them led to the bridal altar?
14237Is it not, therefore, a matter of momentous interest to the Christian home, that it establish habits of the right kind and quality?
14237Is it possible that a book at once so simple and sublime, can be the work, of men?"
14237Is not every privilege a duty?
14237Is not true piety of more importance than education, affluence or social distinction?
14237Is such, Christian brother, the sympathy of your home?
14237Is that person suited for me?
14237Is this always so?
14237Is this the will of God?
14237It involves the great question, what should Christian parents leave to their children as a true inheritance from the Christian home?
14237No languid wretch who long''d, but long''d in vain, For thy cold hand to cool his fiery pain?
14237O, who would linger, Fainting, fearing, and athirst, When before us lies a region Where undying pleasures burst?"
14237Oh, what is home without a title to, and personal meetness for, that kingdom?
14237Oh, what is life without these?
14237Or tell that the buds of the heart at the dawning, Were destined to wither and perish at noon?
14237Passed to your glorious rest so swiftly on, And left me weeping here?
14237Shall the Christian parent and child disregard this prohibition of God?
14237Should Parents Banish and Disinherit Children for their Marrying against their will?
14237Should Persons Marry Outside of their Own Branch of the Church?
14237Should he imitate thee in thine evil?
14237Show 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?
14237Speak in an angry tone before your child; and what will it avail for you to admonish him against anger?
14237Tell me now, will not God hold these parents responsible for the ruin of their children?
14237Tell me then, can you be faithful to these vows and obligations without family prayer?
14237Tell me, does not this view dilate the parent''s heart, and make him thankful that he has a sainted child in heaven?
14237Tell 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?
14237Tell 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?
14237Tell me, who are those that are there?
14237They 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?)
14237Think ye not, dear ones, in brighter bowers above, Of those you left below?
14237Think you that God will not answer and bless your prayers?
14237Those who were"trained up in the way they should go?"
14237To be Christians, must the unnumbered memories of life be all without a tear?
14237To be one in a full procession?--to dig my kindred clay?
14237To decorate the gallery of art?
14237To walk this chequered world, alternate light and darkness, The day- dreams of deep thought followed by the night- dreams of fancy?
14237WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN HOME?
14237What are now the different kinds or parts of home- education?
14237What are some of these means?
14237What are some of these?
14237What are the natural elements of home- sympathy?
14237What children are more desolate and more to be pitied than the motherless ones?
14237What communion hath light with darkness?
14237What have our schools now to do with the propensities, appetites, temperaments, habits and character of the pupils?
14237What is Home- Influence?
14237What is home- education?
14237What is it?
14237What is the mere secular, without such a religious education?
14237What is the_ Christian_ home?
14237What is their history?
14237What is"family religion?"
14237What made Daniel steadfast amidst all the efforts to heathenize him during his captivity in Babylon?
14237What more could you do and hope for your children than to offer up supplications for them to God?
14237What mother, prompted by such sympathy, can be recreant to the duties of her household?
14237What now has been the result?
14237What now is the extent, and what are the duties of that right to interfere?
14237What orations so eloquent as those of the prophets, of Christ, and of his apostles?
14237What part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
14237What part hath he that believeth with an infidel?"
14237What says the infidel Rosseau?
14237What shall it profit the family if its members gain the whole world and lose their own souls?
14237What songs are like those of Zion?
14237What then is the mission, of the Christian home?
14237What thronging memories come?
14237What will baptism avail, so far as the parents are concerned, without this dedication of their children to Him in whose name they are baptised?
14237What 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?
14237What would Christian parents give in exchange for the souls of their little ones?
14237What would the Christian home be, therefore, without such sympathy?
14237What, for instance, is there about such names as Nero, Caesar, Pompey, Punch, that would remind you that you were in a Christian home?
14237What, oh, what, if you had not the assurance of the salvation of all infants?
14237What, therefore, besides wealth, should be the children''s patrimony from the Christian home?
14237When I learned that thou wast dead, Say, wast thou conscious of the tears I shed?
14237Where did they come from?
14237Where, then, is he?
14237Who are they that now throng the regions of the damned?
14237Who but she can smooth the pillow and soothe the anguish of the child of affliction?
14237Who can forget a mother, or lose those impressions which her death made upon our deeply stricken hearts?
14237Who can forget the family bible?
14237Who can read the following beautiful lines of Cowper, and-- if the memory of a sainted mother is awakened by them,--not weep?
14237Who does not feel this influence of home upon all his habits of life?
14237Who does not perceive and acknowledge the evil of such a course?
14237Who has not felt this power of habit?
14237Who 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?
14237Who that wears the name of a man can be indifferent here?
14237Who touch the strings that rule the soul?
14237Who will doubt its application to the Christian home?
14237Who 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?
14237Who would venture to judge a person by his mechanical movements in the parlor?
14237Who, even in the hour of agony, would forget the friend over whom he mourns?
14237Who, 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?
14237Whom, think you, will the children follow?
14237Why do many parents have their children baptized?
14237Why make that babe of yours a mere plaything?
14237Why not adopt scriptural names for them?
14237Why not for the very same reason refuse to teach them, to have them pray, to bring them up to church service?
14237Why point to its treasures exhausted too soon?
14237Why?
14237Will any one deny the extent of such a spirit in the church and homes of the present day?
14237Will money make your children happy?
14237Will not such parents be denounced in the day of judgment as unjust and unfaithful stewards?
14237Will not the"blood of their destruction rest upon them?"
14237Will not the"voice of that blood"cry out from their family against them?
14237Will that character make my home happy?
14237Will the children of God not hesitate to marry the children of the devil?
14237Will you ridicule this fundamental principle of Christian marriage?
14237Would not this be cruel?
14237Would the mother, if she could, forget the child that slumbers beneath the flower- crowned sod of the family cemetery?
14237Would you avoid painful solicitude, bitter reflection, heart- burning remorse, dreadful foreboding?
14237Would you remove him from those rivers of delight to this dry and thirsty land?
14237Would you, now, that this inhabitant of heaven should be degraded to earth again?
14237Yea, why not deny to them salvation itself?
14237and where, but with the loving?"
14237do 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?
14237exclaimed,"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?"
14237from that land of love, Look ye not sometimes on this world of wo?
14237is it well with thee?"
14237of the true glory and greatness of your home?
14237of your children?
14237of your piety?
14237or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?"
14237or, who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind?
14237thou dread looser of the dearest tie, Was there no aged and no sick one nigh?
14237to clear a few acres of forest?
14237to fill the circling year With daily toil for daily bread, with sordid pains and pleasures?
14237what can feeble friendship say, To soothe the anguish of this mournful day?
14237what if it be exerted for the ruin of your loved ones, and they"curse the day you begat them?"
14237what think you of this?
14237who shall bring out from the secrets of the eternal world, those awful maledictions which God has attached to parental unfaithfulness?
14237why keep the pilgrim here?
14237why will you thus abuse the loveliest and noblest part of your child?
39283Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? 39283 The holy teachers of all nations:"was our blessed Lord but one of them?
39283Who then can be saved?
39283Ye 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?
39283After using fourteen words where seven would have done, what is it that the whole speech gets said with its much speaking?
39283Again, what is meant by the Gospel of Christ not according to anybody?
39283Again, what is the will of the Lord, and what does Mr. Ruskin mean by proclaiming it?
39283And have we not felt our utter powerlessness, whether by public preaching or by private monition, to find a way to those case- hardened hearts?
39283And if so, does it further mean that all matters of doctrine, such as are defined in the Thirty- nine Articles, are of this nature?
39283And 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?
39283And therefore shall we boldly dare to say that they perish altogether and for ever?
39283And 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?
39283And to this the suggested answer is( whom does it offend?
39283And what kind of wickedness is to be so visited?
39283Antonio, in"The Merchant of Venice,"asks:"When did friendship take A_ breed_ of barren metal of his friend?"
39283Are there many who would allow that they were"salaried"by the State at all?
39283Are we free, or are we bound?
39283Are we( Mr. Ruskin implies, Are we_ not_?)
39283Are you not bid to go into_ all_ the world and preach it to every creature?
39283But I will see Mr.---- if he has any other reason than curiosity for wishing to see me-- what does he want with me?
39283But are there many of the clergy who would say,"I am an attached and salaried servant of the State, and nothing more?"
39283But can we not all remember when it was just as certain that free trade in food was impracticable?
39283But he asks,"Do we look upon ourselves as attached to any particular State, and bound to the promulgation of any particular tenets?"
39283But is this_ all_ the Gospel?
39283But taking this Alpine illustration for what it may be worth, we may ask,"What does it mean?"
39283But what are the doctrines that stand in this relation, or this no- relation, to the spiritual life?
39283But who shall say that he is wrong?
39283But will the most incessant prayer, individual, combined, or congregational, ever bring us to perfection?
39283Do not most look on it merely in the light of the statute on swearing?
39283Do the conditions attached to the emoluments we receive prohibit us from holding or teaching any other opinions than those we have subscribed to?
39283Do you wish to hear or read my comments before they are printed?
39283Does anyone suppose that money ought to lie idle and unprofitable?
39283Does he ask the same question of the clergy of any other portion of the Catholic Church?
39283Does he mean that we are each to set up a theology-- a Church of his own?
39283Does not an unwillingness to accept the true divinity of our Lord underlie this passage?
39283Does our experience of human nature teach that a sense of gratitude for benefits received is a good security for honourable conduct?
39283Does that expression mean,"England, with all thy faults, I love thee still"?
39283Does the question imply that there are points of science on which it is of no consequence what opinions a teacher holds?
39283For instance, a friend wrote to me the other day,"Will you not come here?
39283Have you done no work in the vineyard''yet''then?
39283Have you ever taught your congregations what that confession means?
39283Have your congregations ever been referred to those sundry places?
39283He who gets an estate by purchase, shall he not from that money derive an annual profit?
39283Hence 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?"
39283How do we betray it?
39283How do we fulfil the hope in our lives?
39283How many of your congregations can make any such kind of confession, or wish to make it?
39283How 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?
39283I 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?
39283If Christ had been perfectly insensible to the allurements of sin, where would be His fellow- feeling with us?
39283If He knew nothing of sin from experience of its power, how could He be an example to us?
39283In study of the Word of God?
39283In understanding that will, and doing it, and striving to get it done( knowing their duty and doing it, and it alone)?
39283In what sense is a clergyman like a Chamouni guide?
39283Is it any otherwise with the Third Commandment?
39283Is it meant that all theology should be swept away like a dusty old cobweb?
39283Is it not so evolving itself?
39283Is it whether the clergy are or are not teachers of universal science?
39283Is not Mr. Ruskin, perhaps, after all, only advocating a return to primitive usage?
39283Is not every one of its petitions for a perfect state?
39283Is not every word of it true-- severely and austerely true,--but still true?
39283Is not this the first of all questions which a Clerical Council has to answer in open terms?
39283Is silver brought forth from the walls and the roof?
39283Is this an edifying spectacle for the Malagasy?
39283Its probable meaning is,"Is it not desirable that religious teaching should be divested of any mysteries?"
39283MY DEAR PENRHYN,--Will you please to thank Mr. Malleson on my behalf for the Letters on the Lord''s Prayer?
39283Must we keep all other Christians at arm''s length?
39283My first letter contained a Layman''s plea for a clear answer to the question,"What is a clergyman of the Church of England?"
39283Namely: as clergymen of the Church of England, do they consider themselves to be so called merely as the attached servants of a particular state?
39283Of course you would never think of investing in consols, in railway shares, or dock- bonds, would you?
39283On the other hand, can anything be more tremendous than the words themselves-- double- negatived:"[ Greek: ou gar mê katharisê... kurios]"?
39283On the platform we occupy do we allow none but English Churchmen to stand?
39283Or do we enjoy a reasonable amount of liberty and no more?
39283Replies some slow- witted preacher:"Where is the difficulty?
39283Right; but how many of any extant or instant congregations understand what the two words mean?
39283Suppose you leave all that till you see what the first debate comes to?
39283Take away these benefits, and what good is done by free lending?
39283The preceding verse, the 26th, may well be understood to be a question-- Didst thou indeed think so?
39283The 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?
39283Then again, what is this new and more than Genevan discipline that the clergyman is to enforce?
39283There must surely be published copies of such extant, though, and worth enquiring after?
39283What do you do with your money?
39283What is a clergyman of the Church of England?
39283What is simpler than beauty?
39283What is that teaching, clearly and simply put?
39283What is the exact question asked in Letter II.?
39283What is the question which is put here so tersely and so pointedly?
39283What is the teaching of the Gospel he is to teach?
39283What is the vast uneducated world to do with these extraordinary forms of religion which are as many- sided and many- faced as their inventors?
39283What the house for which I receive rent?
39283What wonder if he sets too high a value on money?
39283What, then, does true religion require of us if such circumstances make forgiveness impossible?
39283When were you in the same sort of danger?
39283When will the feet of the Priests be dipped in the still brim of the water?
39283When 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?"
39283Whence then is the merchant''s profit?
39283Who would confirm him in his judgment?
39283Who would stand by him in the troubles which he would assuredly entail upon himself?
39283Why is there no such easy summary provided by authority to teach the poor and simple?
39283Why should any letter of mine make you anxious if you had indeed conscience of inspiration?
39283Why should they ask for such, they say, when their trespasses are non- existent?
39283Will they in Parliament?
39283Will they in a ball- room?
39283Will they in a shop?
39283Will this alone"mend the world, forsooth"?
39283Will you kindly now send me back my old book on Usury?
39283Would his churchwardens, his rural dean, his archdeacon, or his bishop?
39283Would you like to print any bits of it?
39283You 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?
39283and is the Protestant pleasanter form one that ca n''t be?)
39283and, instead of a Holy Ghost the Lord and Giver of Life, do you only believe in an unholy mammon, Lord and Giver of Death?"
39283in Divine contemplation, or in devout and thoughtful meditation?
39283must ultimately be always the greater spiritual one:"Children, have ye here any Holy Spirit?"
39283or, is it used in the same sense as"attached to the staff"?
39283or,"Have ye not heard yet whether there_ be_ any?
39283to your lawyer or doctor?"
39283what at first sight more incapable of analysis?
39283what is it?"
39283what more universally apprehended?
39283you would not lend money upon mortgage, or exact rent for your household and landed property?
44441And what, forsooth, have you there? 44441 How,"he asks,"can a man be born when he is old?
44441Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
44441Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,''Why hast thou made me thus?''
44441Shall there be evil in a city and the Lord hath not done it?
44441Should I have been better prepared, sir,the sailor answered,"if I had shirked my duty?"
44441Tell me, father-- tell me, mother, what is there beyond the sky?
44441Were you ready to die that you jumped into the stormy sea to save that child''s life?
44441What is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? 44441 What is liberty?"
44441Again, young men go that they may get forward faster than in old communities-- and who can wonder?
44441Am I to pray for physical blessings and deliverances?
44441Am I to pray only to be made wise, and good, and pure, and true, and holy?
44441Am I to pray then( for men do tell me that I may pray) only for spiritual and for moral gifts?
44441Am I to pray to a law?
44441Am I to pray to a system?
44441Am I to pray to the winds, or to the waves, as men prayed of old?
44441And are you and I exceptions?
44441And does He give comfort to His creatures in order to torment them by its removal?
44441And if He was more than a man shall we not take His own testimony as to His dignity and mission?
44441And is it not so in the spiritual world?
44441And is that all?
44441And now we have seen these, we turn to the third portion of our story; and what is that we see there?
44441And now we turn to the second scene, and what have we there?
44441And the bewildered soul sings:-- And can this mighty King Of glory condescend?
44441And what caused this calamity?
44441And what have we got?
44441And what is equal in persuasive power to the simple utterance of your own intense conviction?
44441And what is the record of our race since?
44441And what mean those wonderful words of His, telling of His intimacy, His sonship, His oneness with the invisible and eternal God?
44441And will He write His name My Father, and my Friend?
44441Are we pilgrims and strangers, worn and weary in our search for the home from which we are exiles?
44441Are we soldiers, beset with foes and required to endure the shocks of battle?
44441Are we voyagers upon a troubled and a dangerous sea?
44441As, then, we turn over the pages of the Bible, must we not say,"The wind of heaven bloweth where it listeth"?
44441But are we, after all, so very helpless before the aggregate of these mighty forces, as materialism loves to represent?
44441But attempt to tell him that beyond is nothing, and not even room for anything, and will he believe you?
44441But can we lay down directions about this and offer suggestions?
44441But how is it in foul weather?
44441But is this any reason for a fierce arraignment of nature, as tho she were execrably ruthless, and execrably indifferent?
44441But is this any reason why we should look on ourselves as victims of dead irresponsible forces?
44441But the Bible asked the question, more than thirty centuries ago,"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?"
44441But the question may arise, can we know the precepts and the statutes that God has given to us?
44441But what beyond?
44441By what arithmetic is such a balance cast?
44441Can he enter a second time into his mother''s womb, and be born?"
44441Can we do no better, after so long a time?
44441Can we wonder if the Judge should say to them when they appear at His seat,"I never knew you"?
44441Could 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?
44441Did He not know it all a hundred thousand ages ago, or ever the earth was?"
44441Did the stranger go with the man to the pool, and keep his eye upon him while he was there?
44441Did the stranger who told the tale know the beggar who was said to have been cured?
44441Do I need to describe these bad ways to you?
44441Do we delight in what strengthened Him?
44441Do we then complain in affliction?
44441Does God, then, build up in order to destroy?
44441Does it not gather all the world in the sweep of its mighty purpose of mercy?
44441Does our work rest upon the basis of inward fellowship with God which underlay His?
44441Does the Bible care about weary people?
44441Does the wind then obey no rule; is it a mere symbol of unfettered caprice?
44441Dost Thou sleep, Lord?
44441For each of us, my hearers, this is the question of questions,"What shall I do with Jesus which is called Christ?"
44441For what reason was there this unusual emotion ere He spoke the word which cleansed?
44441For what reason was there this unwonted slowness in Christ''s healing works?
44441Had Bartimeus considered all these difficulties?
44441Had the stranger examined his eyes the very morning of the day on which he received sight?
44441Have we obeyed or have we disobeyed?
44441Have you ever pondered that dark mystery of human nature, the origin of the frightful idolatries of India?
44441Have you ever realized, with heartfelt gratitude to God, the priceless boon which He has granted to this generation in the diminution of pain?
44441Have you not sometimes wished that you could have had that hundred and fifty- fourth fish?
44441He knoweth it altogether?
44441His voice pierced then into the dull cold ear of death, and has it become weaker since?
44441How can we do it?
44441How do we talk?
44441How is that?
44441How is that?--the words exactly the same, the notes identical-- how?
44441How long has it been since the doctrine of the rotundity of the earth has been settled by scientific men?
44441I must do the one or the other; and yet how many are seeking, like Pilate, to evade the question?
44441If God afflicts, how foolish it is to go to the world for relief?
44441If He was only a man, how shall we explain them?
44441Is he to cease to believe in Christ?
44441Is it less mighty or less loving now?
44441Is it upon the misers and the miscreants and the murderers of the race merely?
44441Is the world greater than God?
44441Is there not the most complete demand for the punishment?
44441Is there the slightest claim in us for the reward?
44441It seems as if we might apprehend either of these things singly; but both together-- how can it be?
44441Might not one man have been sent to the pool, and another man have come back to Jerusalem?
44441Now, speaking roughly, what has been the motive for the great Western wave, which is making this garden out of that desert?
44441Now, ye scientific men, what made that gourd wither?
44441On whom does the Judge show his indignation?
44441On whom does the fire fall?
44441Perchance we explain the immediate antecedents of the phenomenon; but can we explain our own explanation?
44441Say, will you learn it?
44441Shall I reject Him and live precisely as if I had never heard His name?
44441Shall 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?
44441The criticism may be vigorous; he may be wholly unable to answer it: but what then?
44441The question of Pilate,"What shall I do, then, with Jesus which is called the Christ?"
44441The sending of the blind man to wash at the Pool of Siloam was suspicious: what could that washing have to do with a miracle?
44441Then, if we are not to pray, may we at least praise?
44441Thou 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?
44441To what am I to pray if I see no living God to pray to?
44441To whom is it that we pray?
44441Was it certain that the man was blind?
44441Was it certain that the vision was not gradually returning?
44441Was it not more probable that the stranger''s story should be false than that the miracle should be true?
44441Was 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?
44441Well, is that all science can say?
44441What did the Spaniards find there?
44441What do we need, then, but Christ the Son of God, the Heart of God, the Love of God?
44441What do we need, then?
44441What is it we see in the first scene?
44441What is it, then, that we see?
44441What is the distinction of the race to which we belong, that it succeeds where these have failed?
44441What is the need of flowers?
44441What is the secret of this influence of Scripture?
44441What proportion of our property should we devote to God?
44441What shall we do with His word?
44441What sin in the whole catalog of sin has been omitted by man?
44441What was it that drew that sigh from the heart of Jesus?
44441Wherefore, then, this unwonted squeamishness of conscience?
44441Why all this reluctance on his part to send Jesus to the cross?
44441Why are the cities of Europe horrified no longer by the hideousness of medieval leprosy?
44441Why can you sing?
44441Why did He do it if there was no need of it, if it were even possible that it should be wrested from its meaning?
44441Why do we not have pestilence, like that great plague of London, which destroyed 7,165 persons in a single week?
44441Why does the Black Death rage no longer, as it raged among the monks of this Abbey four centuries ago?
44441Why has jail fever disappeared?
44441Why has smallpox been stayed in its loathly ravages, and deprived of its hideous power?
44441Why should he?
44441Why so?
44441Why then, again we ask, was his perplexity?
44441Why?
44441Will he pay-- will he''make good''--on the investment if he becomes a drinker?
44441Would it not be well for Bartimeus to suspend his faith in Jesus until he had made further inquiries about the miracle?
44441Yet what do we really know about it?
44441You would lay before God your wretched plight to move His pity?
44441behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?"
44441or shall I accept Him as the Lord from heaven in human nature, trust in Him as my Savior, and obey Him as my King?
44441says science; drag God in to explain anything?
44441to 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?"
42657And O, wilt not thou come to Him?
42657And can a Christian"greatly rejoice"while he is"in heaviness?"
42657And dost thou think to get there by thy merits?
42657And shall God turn to the dark sinner, and ask him whether there is anything in him which may contribute to eternal light?
42657And to whom shall you go, if you turn away from Him?
42657And what next?
42657And what was the sacred lesson He taught to prevent their being exalted above measure?
42657And what wonder is it that the believer has such deep peace, when Christ thus dwells in the heart, and reigns there without a rival?
42657And, O, ye that are rich, can not you bear the same testimony, if you have loved the Master?
42657At the Lord''s Table itself it is proper for us to pray,"Lord, is it I?"
42657Because they are holy?
42657Because they are sanctified?
42657Because they serve God with good works?
42657But dost thou say,"I will leave my wealth, after I have gone, to charities; I will build a hospital, or feed the poor?"
42657But how is it that our peace is not more continuous?
42657But if you have_ not_ this bright hope, how is it that you can live content?
42657But what is it which preserves him from sinking?
42657But why?
42657But_ God_--what does He owe to thee?
42657Can you not say that your religion did gild your gold, and make your silver shine more brightly?
42657Can you say that you love Him, and has He ever revealed himself in the way of love to you?
42657Can you think of that?
42657Can your faith picture Him?
42657Did you ever hear this parable?
42657Do I know that Jesus loves me?
42657Do I understand it?
42657Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration?
42657Do we not know that in the heart of every sin condemnation slumbers?
42657Do you ask what is the cause of this great rejoicing?
42657Do you feel that in being a Christian you incur ridicule and reproach?
42657Do you feel that in following Christ you must lose by it-- lose honor, position, wealth?
42657Do you know it?
42657Do you know what the joy is of doing good to others?
42657Do you need something to light up the eye of your hope?
42657Do you need something to nerve you for duty?
42657Do 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?
42657Do you want something to bear you up in trouble?
42657Do you want something to make you stand steadfast in the midst of temptation?
42657Do you wonder that the Christian is called to conflict?
42657Does He not say to the heavens,"Drop down manna to feed my people?"
42657Does He say to the angel,"Protect my people?"
42657Does He say,"Strengthen ye, strengthen ye my people?"
42657Does He wear a crown?
42657Does not the lightning write His name in letters of fire upon the midnight darkness?
42657Does the Infinite indeed bow His ear to me?
42657Dost thou not venture on that promise?
42657Doth He question the night, and ask whether it has not in its sombre shades something which it may contribute to the brightness of noon?
42657Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of Armies?
42657Faith is precious, but what must sight be?
42657For doth not all nature around me praise Him?
42657For 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?
42657God is the strength of his life: of whom shall he be afraid?
42657God wills for the sun to light the earth: doth he ask the earth''s darkness to contribute to the light?
42657Hang not up thy banner; do not decorate thine own bosom with the glory; for who made thee strong in the battle?
42657Has it not calmed your minds?
42657Has not this lightened you through the heavy shades of your tribulation?
42657Has not your religion been a joy to you in your difficulties?
42657Hast thou a cross, believer?
42657Hast thou come to live as a receiver at the hand of God?
42657Hast thou learnt this truth?
42657Hast thou overcome temptation?
42657Hast thou read the Bible, and yet have thine eyes been unenlightened?
42657Hast thou shed a little light upon the darkness?
42657Hast thou stood at Mercy''s gate, humbly seeking salvation?
42657Hath not the whole earth a voice, and shall I, can I, be silent?
42657Have I felt it?
42657Have I lost a perfect righteousness in Adam?
42657Have I lost happiness on earth in Adam?
42657Have I lost heaven in Adam?
42657Have not the testimonies of God been your song in the house of your pilgrimage?
42657Have you ever struggled against an evil heart, and at last overcome it?
42657Have you, like Bunyan''s Christian, fought with Apollyon, and after a fierce contest, put him to flight?
42657He 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?"
42657Hear Him as he pleads-- hear you not what it is?
42657How can I have hope that heaven shall be my eternal inheritance, unless the earnest be begun in my own soul on earth?
42657How can I keep my desires burning and my zeal inflamed?"
42657How can I trust that I shall be saved then, unless I am saved now?
42657How can my emotions be strong?
42657How important, then, becomes the question, Do I know the love of Christ?
42657I must never seek any honor for myself; for what have I that I have not received?"
42657If God gives a man a talent, do you think the man does not know it?
42657Is He a priest?
42657Is He enthroned?
42657Is He glorious?
42657Is He to be pierced in hands and feet, and are His followers to feel no pain?
42657Is it a little thing for a follower of Christ to be losing the immortal honor of serving the Lord?
42657Is it not plain, then, that religion is a thing which we must have here?
42657Is it not prominently revealed that religion is important for the present?
42657Is it not salvation-- thy soul''s deliverance from hell?
42657Is 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?
42657Is it not your office and privilege to have it said of you, as of your Master--"He saved others, himself he can not save?"
42657Is it shed abroad in my heart?
42657Is not religion worth having in the sick chamber?
42657Is not this enough?
42657Is that your prayer which He is mentioning before the throne?
42657Is the Lord Jesus your friend?
42657Is the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ girt about my loins, to be my beauty and my glorious dress?
42657Is there not a heaven within it?
42657Is there power in human intellect to fly into the land of the hereafter, where God''s people rest eternally?
42657Is this less a wonder?
42657It 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?
42657It is yours to be lights; and doth not a light consume itself while it scatters its rays into the thick darkness?
42657Look at the old oaks; how is it that they have become so deeply- rooted in the earth?
42657May I hope He will at last listen to me?
42657Must He be crowned with thorns, and shall you be crowned with laurel?
42657Must we not account for this by the fact, that in our troubles we live nearer to God?
42657O, wherefore dost thou doubt, then?
42657O, would ye give up your religion for all the joys that earth calls good or great?
42657O, ye children of sorrow, racked with pain, has not religion been to you a sweet_ quietus_ in your sufferings?
42657O, ye sons of poverty, has not this been a candle to you in the darkness?
42657O, ye sons of toil, has not this been your rest, your sweet repose?
42657O_ grave_, where is thy victory?"
42657O_ hell_, where is thy triumph?
42657Or dost thou think to purchase with thy riches and thy gold a foothold in paradise?
42657Or is the promise made to those who bear"a good report"of the land?
42657Or who among us would complain loathingly of the bread which we eat, that it palls upon the sense of taste?
42657Remember Jesus; think thou seest Him looking upon thee, and saying,"I gave Myself for thee, and dost thou withhold thyself from me?
42657Say, if your immortal life could be extinguished, would you give it up, even for all the kingdoms of this world?
42657See, 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?
42657Shall he die upon a cross, and will not you bear the cross?
42657Shall the disciple be above his Master, and the servant above his Lord?
42657Some persons, when they know they can do a thing, tell you they can not: but you surely would not call that humility?
42657The field might complain, and say,"Why these scars across my face?
42657The 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?"
42657They who come unto glory are sons; for is it not written,"The Captain of our salvation bringeth many sons unto glory?"
42657Thou art the clay, but_ who_ is the potter?
42657To live for comfort?
42657To live for glory?
42657To live for pleasure?
42657To live for wealth?
42657Was there ever a child of God who could deny this?
42657What did Christ say?
42657What does he mean?
42657What does this teach us?
42657What doth he do?
42657What had all your riches been to you without a Saviour?
42657What shall it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul?
42657What wailing and gnashing of teeth shall there be over the carelessness or misadventure by which men lose_ such a heaven as this_?
42657What was the joy?
42657What will not men do to win fame?
42657Which of us has ever complained that the sun gave us but little variety?
42657Who can comprehend this but the Christian?
42657Who made thy sword sharp, and nerved thine arm to strike the foe?
42657Who maketh thee to differ, and what hast thou which thou hast not received?
42657Who shall bid us"stay,"if God bid us advance?
42657Why does the branch bring forth grapes?
42657Why is a Christian''s character like Christ''s character?
42657Why this rough upturning?"
42657Why, then, should we fear?
42657Would He say,"Come ye to the supper,"and yet shut the door upon you?
42657Would you rejoice in the Lord with faith unmoved, and confidence unshaken?
42657Yet are there not many who seem to imagine that if they save a corner in their souls for their religion, all will be well?
42657You are sent into the world to be saviours of others; but how shall you be so if you care only for yourselves?
42657You 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?
42657and is the blood of Jesus sprinkled upon me, to take away all my guilt and all my sin?
42657and shall I not in this greatly rejoice?
42657and shall we, when it lies at our doors, turn idly aside and cast our glory to the ground?
42657and will you turn aside because of these little things, when He would not turn aside, but endured the cross and despised the shame?
42657are you ashamed and unwilling to suffer what your Master suffered?
42657art thou at a loss for a topic to comfort the aching heart?
42657attempt another way?
42657dost thou think Christ would tell thee He will receive thee, and yet not do so?
42657if Christ endured all this for the joy of saving you, will_ you_ be ashamed of bearing or suffering anything for Christ?
42657pawn eternal glories for the pitiful pence of a few moments of the world''s enjoyments?
42657when there is a Judas in the company; and after the most intimate fellowship, Christ exclaimed,"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?"
42657who lit thy candle-- and who is it who keeps thee still shining, and prevents thee from being extinguished?
33340But, Mr. Moody,you say,"how can I check myself?
33340Do you swear when you get angry?
33340Does not your Bible say that if your ass falls into a pit on the sabbath, you may pull him out?
33340How did you stop?
33340How do I know whether a man or a camel passed my tent last night?
33340Oh,I said,"tell me, have you ever sworn since that night you knelt in your drawing- room, and asked God to forgive you?"
33340Then,I asked,"are you ready to meet God?"
33340Well, what is it?
33340What do you mean?
33340What law of justice forgives the obscene bird of prey, while it kicks out of its path the soiled and bleeding dove?
33340Where is the crime,he asked,"of turning a few ounces of blood out of their channel?"
33340Why did you send your daughter out of the room before you said this?
33340Why, you do n''t swear now, do you?
33340Would 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?"
33340After the meeting I said to a gentleman:"Who is that man who drives up here every night?
33340Again, what does John say?
33340And what is it used in connection with?
33340And why?
33340And you,_ employee_, have you been honest with your employer?
33340Are n''t they vanity?
33340Are there not men whose characters have been utterly ruined for this life through this accursed sin?
33340Are there not wives who would rather sink into their graves than live?
33340Are we obeying God with all our heart?
33340Are you fit for the kingdom of heaven?
33340Are you guilty of adulterating what you sell?
33340Are you innocent or guilty?
33340Are you like those who said:"When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?
33340Are you ready to step into the scales and be weighed against this first commandment?
33340Are you ready to step into the scales?
33340Are you trusting Him alone?
33340Are your advertisements deceptive?
33340Are your cheap prices made possible by defrauding your customers either in quantity or in quality?
33340As 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?"
33340But does this mean that the detailed precepts of the Decalogue are superseded, and have become back numbers?
33340But have you kept them?
33340But if a man makes money, and yet his sons are ruined and his home broken up, what has he gained?
33340But if he wins her affection and ruins her, and then casts her off, is n''t he worse, than a murderer?
33340But some one says:"Mr. Moody, what are you going to do?
33340But you ask,"What are we to do?
33340Ca n''t a man read enough news on week days without desecrating the sabbath?
33340Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
33340Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
33340Can pleasure or riches fill the soul that is empty of God?
33340Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries?
33340Can we not all recall cases where men and women have died under the wounds of calumny and misrepresentation?
33340Can you draw a picture of your own soul or spirit or will?
33340Can you step on the scales and take that harlot with you?
33340Can you, young man?
33340Can_ you_ say that you observe the sabbath properly?
33340Christians have tried to paint the Trinity, but how can you depict the Invisible?
33340Come, are you killing them?
33340Come, now, are you ready to be weighed?
33340Did 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?
33340Did it not bring fire and brimstone from heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah?
33340Did n''t David fall into foolish and hurtful lusts?
33340Did you ever get so angry that you wished any one harm?
33340Did you ever in your heart wish a man dead?
33340Did 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?
33340Do n''t selfish riches always bring hurt?
33340Do we keep the law, the_ whole_ law?
33340Do we render Him a full and willing obedience?
33340Do you believe that God will allow this infernal thing to go on,--women bearing all the blame while guilty men go unpunished?

23241Can He afford to lose a soul?
23241Can He communicate with the world through me?
23241Can I be trusted?
23241Can I confidently give thanks before I receive the gifts of God, before the dish- covers are removed?

23241Do they go forth in great expectancy?
23241Do they just contain our own families, or is China in them, and India, and"the uttermost parts of the earth"?

23241Have I never preferred him, and sent my Lord to be"crucified afresh,"and"put Him to an open shame"?
23241Have I not sometimes heard the phrase--"He''s just a lump of pride"?
23241Have we been so busy with our preparations, so concerned with many things, and everybody, that we have forgotten our greatest possible Ally?
23241Here is a sentence which describes the anger of the Apostle Paul:"Who is made to stumble and I burn not?"
23241How big are they?
23241How can the Lord sit down at such a table, or make One at such a fireside?
23241How can they when the apportionment is so perverse, when everything is topsy- turvy?
23241How can we deal with glaring sin, with sin that is"scarlet,"that is"red like crimson"?

23241How much grace can our unbelief withstand?
23241How much is it ready to spend?
23241How much pure laughter rings in my life?
23241How much will it bleed?
23241How shall we touch this lovely psalm and not bruise it?
23241How we impoverish ourselves by separating these precious gifts from their Giver?
23241How will He do it?
23241How will He let me know which path to take?
23241How, then, shall we live to- day in prospect of the eternal morrow?
23241How?

23241Is the note of praise to be found in the streets of my soul?

23241My soul, art thou secretly ashamed of thy Lord?
23241O grave, where is thy victory?"
23241On what quiet farm is the coming deliverer now labouring?
23241Or am I altogether depending upon another man''s sight, and are my own eyes unillumined?
23241Or am I in the pay of the evil one?
23241Or am I like a vagrant who has no possessions and no heartening expectations?
23241Or am I magnanimous even on the cross?
23241Or are my prayers weighted with sincere desire?
23241Or do I only think of a corner of it, just that part where my own little synagogue is placed?
23241Or do they become relaxed and demoralized?

6999''Will knowledge then suffice, New- year?'' 6999 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother?
6999But what am I to do?
6999But,you say,"when there is no meat in the larder and no flour in the bin, can we then be not anxious?"
6999Once 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?
6999A work of this nature would be inexcusable for not saying something about prayer, for who can live life triumphantly without prayer?
6999Again, I have been asked,"Can we reach a place where we shall be no more tempted?"

6999But where are we all going?
6999But where?
6999But why does he so intensely yearn for the prayers and devotions of our hearts?
6999Can it be that any one can be more blessed than this happy mother of Jesus?

6999Hast thou kind words to impart, Words that lift the fainting heart?
6999Hast thou sunlit smiles to give, Smiles that make us want to live?
6999Have they any beauty and do you desire them to grace your soul?
6999Have you a quiet nook somewhere which is hallowed by the presence of God?
6999He asked,"Who touched me?"
6999How can ships sail this way and that?
6999How many times have you resolved to do and have failed to keep your resolution?
6999Husband, are you as kind and gentle toward your wife as you should be?
6999If there is not much benefit derived from prayer, why is he so concerned?
6999If you are evil spoken of, misrepresented, misunderstood, neglected, dispised and forsaken, does Jesus live in you then?
6999If you are smitten upon the right cheek, does Jesus then live in you?
6999If 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?
6999If you see your brother in need; if you have two coats and he has none, does Jesus live in you then?
6999If you were to start today and ask each person you met the question,"Where are you going?"
6999In the vast created universe, what place does man occupy?

6999Is it true?
6999Is not this a picture of devotion?
6999Is not this what we would have all men do to us?
6999Is that fine, keen edge upon your soul that gives such avidity for holy things?
6999Is that holy awe filling you?
6999Is that tender sensibility of spiritual things filling your heart?
6999Is to become more godly a sincere desire of your heart?
6999Is your life or mine going to be the dropped stitch in the great web of human life?
6999Is your pillow ever dampened by tears shed for a doomed world?

6999Jesus says,"Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
6999Jesus will gather his holy angels before him and address them thus:"Do you behold Brother--?
6999My reply was,"Shall we not attend to our spiritual duties?"
6999Nathanael, wondering how this man happened to know him, asked,"Whence knowest thou me?"
6999Now, what would Jesus do?
6999O pilgrim on life''s journey, what are you leaving along the way to show in after- years that you have passed along?
6999Shall we analyze this peace, that we may know all about it, even the very hidden secret of the principle?
6999Shall we consecrate our lives to him that he may hide our life in his life?
6999Shall we invite him into our hearts?
6999Shall we not be watchful to walk in God''s ways and obey him, that this rich inheritance may be ours forever?
6999Shall we not bear the trials of life a little longer in patience?
6999Shall we yield ourselves to him?
6999The important question, then, is,"How can I have a pure heart?"
6999The question might arise,"What are fleshly lusts?"
6999The sparrows have thy kindly care; I''m more than they, then need I fear?
6999Then, when you are neglecting to water the soul in vigorous, spiritual exercises, why do you wonder at your being so spiritually dull?

6999and who are my brethren?
6999do you know of one who is being misrepresented?
6999do you know of one who is being trodden down by others, with scarcely any one to speak a word of comfort?
6999how oft would I have gathered thee to Jesus, as a hen gathers her brood under her wing, but ye would not"?

17570If a child asks,"Did God make the world?"

37883He said,"What wilt thou have me do?"
37883He said:"How are you going to drink when your partners have quit drinking?"

37883I said,"Brother Holcombe, what shall I do if I quit gambling?
37883I said:"What is the matter with him?"
37883I say,"Why do n''t you come up to the Mission?
37883I then said,''What is the matter with you?
37883I understood him to say,''Does Mr. Holcombe live here?''
37883I''ve borne it all for thee; what hast thou borne for me?"
37883If he is past God''s mercy-- and I can not believe that-- will you not see what can be done for the little ones?
37883If you have, do n''t you know how it stings you deeper for a man to mistreat or strike him than yourself?
37883Is it not so?

37883Nay, do you not know now some who are traveling this ruinous pathway?
37883Now what does that word"daily"mean in this connection?
37883Now you must enjoy the pleasures of life while you are young?"
37883Now, 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?
37883Now, do you not call that a power which can bring to pass such effects as this?
37883Now, do you not find that if you do what you find in the Bible, then the Bible becomes sweeter and sweeter to you?
37883Now, do you not know all about what that means?
37883Now, let me ask, have we all who profess to be Christians this meek spirit and character?
37883Now, need I stop here to prove that any of you are sinners?
37883Now, you who have been saved here, I want to ask you: What are you doing for others?
37883O man, what will you do with eternity,_ eternity_, if you go thither unprepared?
37883Often in my loneliness and sorrow my lips would cry out,''How can I endure this life any longer?''
37883Oh, are you afraid to venture?
37883Oh, have you not found your tongue to be one of the most troublesome things you have to contend with?
37883Oh, wo n''t you come?
37883Oh, wo n''t you try to help him all you can?
37883Or 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?
37883Or"To be pitied are they that mourn?"
37883Or, 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?
37883Pretty soon she came in and said,"What in the world is the matter with you?
37883Say, what for, if not for you and all sinners?
37883So 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?
37883Somebody met me about four o''clock in the evening, and asked:"Where are you going?"
37883The day before Christmas my wife wrote me,"Why do n''t you come home?
37883The driver said to me,''Does this coffin belong here?''
37883Then how can you expect to know anything of God?
37883Then, there is a judgment coming, is there?
37883There, now, you are already comforted a little bit, are you not?
37883They asked me why?

37883We often speak of you, and the question is often asked,"Will he come and see us this year and hold another mission meeting?"

37883When I left him he said,"Wo n''t you go to your room to- night and pray?"
37883Where could he go?
37883Where do you stand?
37883Where were you last night?
37883Who but a true friend that had your best interest at heart would have written such a letter as this last one from you?
37883Who was there could help him?
37883Who was there that loved him?
37883Why does God, in so many ways, express His love for sinners?
37883Why not have some good books to read?
37883Why will you die?
37883Will you believe it?
37883Will you come in?
37883Will you hear it?
37883Will you look after him as much as you can and if he should fall, help him up?
37883Will you not believe it and come to Him for safety?
37883Will you not look him up at once?
37883Will you not send after him, and try to get him to go to- night?
37883Wo n''t you come and go with us?
37883Wo n''t you go now immediately and wrestle for and with him in prayer?
37883Would you have God''s peace within?
37883You are going to take the responsibility of stopping Him, are you?"
37883You 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?
37883do 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?"
7026And you do n''t suppose there is a happy land?
7026Boy, what are you doing there?
7026But, Mother,very pettishly said the boy,"you are sick all the time-- how do you know?"
7026Ca n''t Jesus make Annie see her mama?
7026DOES THIS RAILROAD LEAD TO HEAVEN?
7026Did he give you all this, my child?
7026Did she go over this railroad, and are you going to see her now?
7026Did you ever hear of Jesus?
7026Did you ever steal?
7026Did you know Winnie Lewis, my lad?
7026Do you know who he was?
7026Do you trust Him, too?
7026Going to sing there?
7026Harvey, are faith and hope nothing?
7026How came you to think you''d find shoes in a jug?
7026How do you know?
7026I think not,he answered,"Why did you think so?"
7026Is God there?
7026Is Jesus there?
7026Is she gone?
7026Is that you, Jesus?
7026John,said his friend, with an affectionate look,"shall we pray?"
7026Know her, is it sir? 7026 Look here, child; where did you learn that song?"
7026Oh, Father, did you get a new jug and were they in it?
7026Oh, 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?"
7026Thank you sir, but please, sir, would you like to hear me sing a little hymn?
7026Was Winnie a relative of yours?
7026Well my little one, are you better?
7026Well, who''s there?
7026Well-- and what then?
7026Well?
7026What ails mother''s Pet? 7026 What are you doing here?"
7026What are you glad for, my dear?
7026What are you hiding from?
7026What did you say?
7026What did your father beat you like that for?
7026What difference will that make?
7026What do you mean, Anna?
7026What do you sing, child?
7026What shall I say to God about it, Mama?
7026What would we ever do without our Comforter, son?
7026Where do you live my dear?
7026Where is He?
7026Where''s your father?
7026Where''s your mother?
7026Who pays your fare?
7026Why did you?
7026Why do you wish I had been there, Ella?
7026Will you please tell me where Jesus Christ is? 7026 Will you tell me about it, my friend?"
7026Will you wake me up then so that I may see my ma and your little girl and Jesus?
7026Yes, but if I should die, will you promise to love Jesus just as I do, and meet me in heaven?
7026You are not naughty now, my dear, are you?
7026You do; and who is your teacher?
7026A brawny German in broken accent asks:"O children, what is the matter?"
7026A 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?"
7026A still, small voice she heard within her soul--"What is it child?
7026A voice seemed to say:''Why do n''t you go out as I tell you?
7026Addressing herself once more to the conductor, she asked him,"Do you love Jesus?
7026After awhile he said,''My, I am so cold,''and I said:''Where''s your overcoat?''
7026Ah, where was Bess, the"little mother,"who in that brief moment resigned herself to death?
7026And Bess?
7026And after all, would what they called religion make them any worse children?
7026At 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?"
7026But 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?
7026But what was this?
7026Can you not imagine that tears often filled the eyes of that father when he spoke of his sainted little one?
7026Could he not see where the heart of his darling Ella was?
7026Could it be that what these poor fanatics, as he had always called them, said about the future world was correct?
7026Did you ever hear such grand music?
7026Did you tell me there be bears down at the sand- bank when there are n''t any?"
7026Do you commend it earnestly to the care of its God and Savior?
7026Does God say that?"
7026Does not this recall the love of the Lord Jesus Christ to you who read?
7026Fathers, may not the hands of the"thousands slain"make mute appeal to you?
7026He 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?
7026He had given his consent for them to attend the Sunday School, and should he now be offended because they had yielded to its influence?
7026How can you help loving such a precious Savior?
7026I asked her with surprise:"Why madam, have you not got anything to eat?"
7026I said"Sing?"
7026I said:"What are your neighbors, that you should suffer among them?"
7026I sat down on the front of the bed and said:"Jennie, is there any there that you know?"
7026I turned to the mother, and said:"Madam, you have potatoes to eat, I suppose?"
7026If they meet in heaven, do you think that daughter will be sorry that she sacrificed her life for her father''s sake?
7026In a low, hesitating voice, she asked the woman:"Do you know Jesus Christ?"
7026Is he sick?"
7026It was found the next morning; and who shall describe their feelings as they clasped the little form to their bosoms?
7026Let us encourage benevolence and gentleness and if he wishes to go without the fur- trimmed coat, why not do as he asks?"
7026Mama?"
7026Mister, do you sing to your little girl about the railroad that goes to heaven?
7026Mr. Lowe made no reply-- how could he?
7026Now, do not shut the windows tonight, will you?"
7026Oh, Wife, is there mercy for a wretch like me?"
7026Oh, sister, he has gone in again; what shall we do?"
7026Ought he not rather to have expected this?
7026Said the conductor:"Where are you going?"
7026Shall I tell her that I saw her pa on Jesus''railroad?
7026Shall I?"
7026She asked the conductor:"Mister, may I lie here until we get to heaven?"
7026She had not talked long until nearly every child in the room was in tears, and how shall we describe that touching scene?
7026She looked up at the pastor earnestly, and inquired:"Is that so?
7026She looked up to my face and said:"''Are you the man that preached last night and said that Christ could save to the uttermost?''
7026She spoke,"I heard them-- it is Henry; oh, I knew he went-- is he dead?"
7026She then said,"Mister, does this railroad lead to heaven, and does Jesus travel on it?"
7026Should he yield to thin influence and be led by his children to Christ?
7026The mother observing this, repeated her thanks and finally said:"Would you like me to pay you for bringing my child home?"
7026Then she said:"Now, Kittie, you will forgive me for ever being cross to you wo n''t you?"
7026Turning her eyes again upon the conductor, she interrogated him again,"What shall I tell your little girl when I see her?
7026Was he a man?
7026Was my hard work and were the cares of business driving me out of my wits?
7026Was there a heaven, and a hell, and a God of justice?
7026Was there no one near to hear his distressing cries, and rescue the poor child from their cruel grip?
7026Was there something in religion after all?
7026Were his darling children right, and was he alone wrong?
7026What could I do?
7026What could be the matter?
7026What could he do but kneel down and cry to God to have mercy upon him?
7026What could it mean?
7026What is it?"
7026What shall we do for her?
7026What should he do?
7026What should she do?
7026Which was to go?
7026Why do we not help the children to get saved, letting them feel that they are really one with us?
7026Will you forgive me, sister, for being cross to you?"
7026Will you not ask Him to forgive you and help you to live for Him the rest of your life?
7026Wo n''t you, now?"
7026Would n''t you like to see heaven and Jesus, and your little girl?"
7026You 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?"
7026he said,"Did you tell me a wrong story?
7026he said,"what put such a wild thought into your head?
7026why have you brought a stranger into this horrible place?''
26062KNOW YE NOT, THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN?
26062What is it?
26062***** Is it true, that_ the heathen world are sinking to perdition_?
2606273 Do we give as much as we ought to evangelize the heathen?
2606275 Do we go and instruct the heathen as we ought?
2606281 Why are the heathen lost?
26062A few individuals too, bearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, have visited some of my numerous islands; but what are they among the multitude?"
26062After this testimony of the Isles of the Ocean, the inquiry is last addressed to America:"America, what is thy testimony?
26062Again, Do we_ give_ as much as we ought to evangelize the heathen?
26062And by whom?
26062And 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?
26062And do we_ go and instruct_ the heathen as we ought?
26062And first, where is the evidence of such a result?
26062And had not the apostles great influence in the churches in which they labored?
26062And have all these considerations, and a hundred more, been urged upon you for years, and yet failed to make an_ impression_?
26062And how is such a feeling of equal and individual responsibility to be induced, till laymen in great numbers begin to go abroad?
26062And if such is the necessary event, what is the conclusion at which we must arrive?
26062And if they become acquainted with the language of the heathen, what do they hear day after day?
26062And is there no remedy?
26062And shall not he"render to every man according to his works?"
26062And should it not be so in the kingdom of Christ?
26062And the Reformers-- Luther, Melancthon, Calvin, Knox and others-- were not they thought to be enthusiasts and zealots?
26062And what is the treatment thou hast received from them?
26062And what will they do?
26062And, I ask again, Can it be an excuse to many Christians that they are laymen and not preachers of the Gospel?
26062Are not these the real wants of men allowed by the Gospel, whether they live in London or in Ethiopia?
26062Are not thirty billions enough?
26062Are the heathen guilty-- covered with blood and black with crime?
26062Are they not enough to strike us dumb?
26062As 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?
26062As yet, how many of the learned, the eloquent and influential of the ministry, have become missionaries at the West?
26062Besides, have you forgotten the nature of benevolence?
26062Besides, is not the work of a missionary a difficult, important, and responsible work?
26062Besides, what is the great purpose for which the church was instituted?
26062But did I find, think you, that Christians were destitute of the ordinary comforts of life?
26062But for laymen to go forth, and sustain themselves in this way, is it not both proper and appropriate?
26062But how certain is it, that persons somewhat advanced can not acquire a foreign language?
26062But how does it appear, that you never professed an entire consecration to Christ of all your powers of body and soul?
26062But how shall those possessing_ large capitals_ best employ them as stewards of God?
26062But if such had been the superficial and ill- founded character of Christ''s compassion, where should we have been at this present hour?
26062But is this the spirit which prevails in the churches?
26062But it will be asked, How would the going forth of such classes of men better the condition of missionaries''children?
26062But since such zeal is not manifested, the heathen are left to perish; and where, I ask affectionately and solemnly, where rests the guilt?
26062But the inquiry arises, In what way should laymen go forth?
26062But was not Jerusalem an important place?
26062But what are our real wants-- our_ wants_, not our_ desires_--our_ real_ wants, not those that are artificial and imaginary?
26062But what is an Algerine dungeon?
26062But what is holiness?
26062But what is the plea that so readily leaves the millions of ignorant heathen to hopelessness and despair?
26062But what is their state?
26062But what prayer has actually been offered to the Lord for benighted nations?
26062But what, really, are the vows that rest upon you?
26062But while ministers at home are assisted in their work, shall the missionary abroad receive little or no help in his direct labors?
26062But, I ask, have missionaries no feelings?
26062By what reasoning, I ask, has it been made to mean, in fifty- nine cases out of sixty,_ send, contribute_,_ and educate young men_?
26062Can I then thus easily thrust aside the Saviour''s last and most impressive command?
26062Can I, by such a course, shield myself effectually from its further application?
26062Can Satan be driven so easily from his own territory, that none but raw troops are needed for the contest?
26062Can all these professions and employments be united in one man?
26062Can ignorance at this day be any other than a criminal ignorance-- an ignorance of fearful responsibility?
26062Can it be his will that they should all quietly remain where they are?
26062Can it be that the service rendered by the church as a body is acceptable to God?
26062Can one missionary sustain all this variety of labor?
26062Can they make it appear that many of their number were not called to the office of preaching the Gospel?
26062Can we do it, and be guiltless of blood?
26062Can we have_ any relish_ for luxuries, folly and needless expense, amidst the teeming millions commencing the agonies of eternal death?
26062Certain it is, that they are not saved through faith in Christ; for"how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?"
26062Children have eyes, and among the heathen what do they see?
26062Consecrate them to the work?
26062Did not the church love and respect them, and hang in breathless silence upon their lips, and look upon their departure as an irreparable loss?
26062Did the Saviour favor fickleness in his last command?
26062Did the angels intercede in our behalf that the Saviour would come?
26062Did the temporal and eternal miseries of six hundred millions of your fellow men make no impression upon you?
26062Did their groans and sighs, which came over the waters like the voice of seven thunders, peal after peal, make no impression upon you?
26062Did they take the proper means to ascertain that point?
26062Did we become sensible of our lost condition?
26062Did 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?
26062Different fields, of course, present greater or less obstacles; but what undertaking is without its difficulties?
26062Do they exhibit many traits that are repulsive and horrid?
26062Do they rise to unite with angels in the songs of heaven?
26062Do you dismiss the physician, or withhold any comfort for fear of expense?
26062Do you feel that the principles of stewardship contained in the Bible are too strict-- that too entire a devotement is required of you?
26062Do you think of expense?
26062Does it require less skill to draft the plan of a capitol, than to work at the building when the plan is mature?
26062Does it require less wisdom to govern a camp in a state of mutiny, than when in subjection and at peace?
26062From Bhering''s Straits to Cape Horn, what treatment have thy native inhabitants received from Christian nations?"
26062Had not Paul and Barnabas great influence in the church at Antioch?
26062Has it been mainly to make known the precious name of Jesus?
26062Has there been no lack in this part of the work?
26062Have I been visited by those who bear the Christian name?
26062How can you expect from them refinement or elevation of soul?
26062How can you expect from them the proprieties and consistencies of a Christian life?
26062How can you so blindfold the young, stop their ears, and wall them off from surrounding influences, as to expect such a result?
26062How many ships sail the ocean to carry the Gospel of Christ?
26062How then can the fact of having wandered from duty excuse one from the performance of it?
26062How, indeed, shall the world be converted, unless there be a going forth to heathen lands from among all classes of Christians?
26062If Antioch was required to spare her two ablest men, what may not be required of such cities as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore?
26062If a minister may_ stay_ at home because he has children, may not the missionary who has children_ return_ home?
26062If any one has mistaken their import, is it not on account of a self- seeking, money- getting, or slothful disposition?
26062If missionaries keep their children, and ask for the requisite means of education, shall they be called extravagant?
26062If provision is to be made for all things that are convenient and pleasant, what room will remain for self- denial?
26062If 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?
26062If their ears are left open, what do they hear?
26062If their eyes are left open, what do they see?
26062If then unto whom much is given, of them will much be required, what may not God justly demand of American Christians?
26062If 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?
26062If there had been a desire, nay, even a willingness to be instructed, could I have mistaken such plain and unequivocal precepts of the Gospel?"
26062If they send them home, shall they be regarded as possessing but a small share of natural affection?
26062Imagine then to yourself this feature of heathen society, and then repeat the inquiry, What do children see?
26062In reflecting on this narration, do we not come to the conclusion, that MEN OF TALENTS AND INFLUENCE ARE CALLED TO THE WORK OF MISSIONS?
26062In such a world and as God''s stewards, who can be at a loss in regard to the course of duty?
26062In the case supposed of a sick child, does the mother simply express a desire that the child may recover?
26062In the greatest strait, how much retrenchment has there been in the style of living?
26062In view of such an example, what shall we say?
26062Inefficient, I say, for what do this million and a half of professed Christians accomplish?
26062Is a residence in Arkansas preferred to a residence in New- York, or a voyage to New Guinea before one to Europe?
26062Is anything like this sum given by American Christians to support and propagate the religion of Jesus?
26062Is business stopped on the canal till the next season, because the times are hard, and it is difficult to obtain money to make repairs?
26062Is entire consecration to Christ enjoined?
26062Is fashion, splendor and parade, appropriate in a grave- yard, or in the chamber of the dead and dying?
26062Is he therefore excused?
26062Is humility inculcated?
26062Is it not a fact, that many professed Christians do not remember the heathen once a day, and some not even once a month?
26062Is it not obedience to the commands of Christ?
26062Is it not overwhelming?
26062Is it not, then, as though an imperfect sacrifice were offered to the Lord-- a lamb full of blemish?
26062Is liberality required?
26062Is not the practice in many cases an_ unwise investment_ of God''s funds?
26062Is purity of life enjoined?
26062Is there any professed Christian who does not relish the idea?
26062Is there not a reasonable prospect that one dollar used now, in doing good, will turn to more account than twenty dollars ten years hence?
26062It is infallible authority that speaks, and what does it declare?
26062Keep them, and train them up to be helpers in the work?
26062Let such a one search his own heart, and inquire with concern,"Did I desire to know my duty?
26062Let us inquire, then, Do we_ pray_ for the heathen as much as we ought?
26062Like specks of light, few and far between, how can they illumine the broad canopy of darkness?
26062Many missionaries have six children, shall not they return?
26062May 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?
26062Now I ask most solemnly, and in a spirit of grief and humiliation, how such a course of conduct would have appeared in the apostles?
26062Now what, under God, shall break up this covetousness, and luxurious manner of life?
26062Now, I ask, how many months would expire before you would save the sum from your hard earnings, and liberate your son?
26062Now, 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?
26062Now, I ask, shall not the same intense and active state of mind be required of us, as God''s agents or stewards?
26062Now, 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?
26062Now, 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?
26062Now, why is there such a rushing after this department of the great work?
26062Or is he connected with a literary, or theological institution?
26062Our own nation lost, and what would become of the heathen?
26062Shall I escape the goadings of conscience and the charge of blood- guiltiness?
26062Shall I keep my provisions for my own comfort, and leave these sufferers to pine away with hunger and thirst?
26062Shall not the same enterprise be seen in moral and religious things?
26062Shall we not then be found_ accountable_ for their eternal agonies?
26062Shall we place it at thirty- five?
26062Shall we then take that which might relieve them, and expend it in procuring conveniences, elegancies, and luxuries for ourselves?
26062Shall we, by any guilty neglect, suffer the present generation, six hundred millions more, to be added?
26062Shall, then, Christian enterprise be dull and sluggish, deal in cents and mills, and move along at a very slow pace?
26062Since such is the case, what wonder is it that a million and a half of Christians in the United States should be so inefficient?
26062Some derangement takes place in a railroad: is travelling postponed till next year?
26062Some 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_?
26062Soon after, he was dismissed from his church and people; and think you he became a missionary?
26062Suppose angels to be placed in our stead, would they, think you, be outdone by the seekers of wealth in deeds of enterprise?
26062Surely, thought I,( and had I not grounds for the thought?)
26062The last, do you say?
26062The_ guilt_ of this neglect who can estimate?
26062Then may not the missionary who has one child, come back?
26062Then, is the church of a pastor wealthy and influential?
26062There are other objects, it is true, that call for contributions; but put all contributions together, and how small the amount?
26062Travel round the world, and how often will it fail?
26062True, I reply, the work is great; but how does it appear that there has not been sufficient time to accomplish it?
26062Urge young men into the missionary field without going yourselves?
26062Was not Antioch as important as Boston or Philadelphia?
26062Was not my blindness a matter of choice; no infirmity, no misfortune, but my guilt?
26062Was this the measure of their engagedness in rebuilding the city?
26062Was this the rate at which the ravages of the great fire were so soon repaired?
26062We are very much inclined to argue the question,"Where can I do the most good?"
26062Were not the apostles thought to be deranged?
26062What does God say of the watchman of a city who should see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet?
26062What does God say to the prophet, who should see the peril of the wicked, and neglect to save him by giving him warning?
26062What does he do?
26062What does the present earnestness of the church amount to?
26062What 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?
26062What has been done abroad?
26062What has been done at home in railroads, canals, steamboats, manufactures, and in other departments of enterprise and industry?
26062What have they carried to thy shores?
26062What have they carried to thy shores?
26062What honor greater than that of continuing the work which Jesus commenced; of being employed in the immense business of saving a ruined race?
26062What language of affection and solicitude can equal that of Paul for his converts?
26062What means shall be taken to arouse them?
26062What mind sufficient to balance extremes so inconceivably immense?
26062What obscure island, or what obscure nook or corner of the earth has not been visited?
26062What then could they not accomplish for Christ, if their feelings were equally enlisted in his cause?
26062What then shall they do with their children?
26062What then shall they do?
26062What then?
26062What work more glorious than that of being the instruments of peopling heaven?
26062When a son is in bondage on a barbarous coast, does the father merely_ pray_ that his son may be redeemed?
26062When and where has the experiment been tried to justify such a supposition?
26062When and where have individuals or companies gone forth with the sole design of benefiting the heathen, and yet proved their extermination?
26062When the liberties of a people are at stake, how few are excused from the field of battle?
26062Where do you find it intimated, that a missionary spirit is a thing superadded to Christian character?
26062Where, then, is the hope of the unconverted heathen?
26062While Jesus plead,"Lo, I died for them, go, preach my Gospel to them, that they may live;"could you remain unimpressed and unmoved?
26062Who can measure the vast disproportion?
26062Who of my readers in Christian lands would be willing to throw his own child on such a precarious subsistence?
26062Who will not charge me with the loss of those lives?
26062Who would not load me with the deepest guilt, and stamp me as the basest of murderers?
26062Why have ye not made known the Gospel of Christ to every creature?
26062Why should not the various means of civilizing and improving society at home, be brought to exert their influence upon the heathen abroad?
26062Why then are the heathen left to perish?
26062Why then can not men go forth, and while they obtain a livelihood, make it their ultimate and chief aim to do good?
26062Why?
26062Will they operate_ by proxy_?
26062Will you not, Christian reader, look at this question, weigh it well, and deal honestly with your own soul?
26062Will 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?
26062Will you, being a professed Christian, dare to oppose the march of God?
26062Will, then, God transplant the vine of Sodom, unchanged in its nature, to overrun his paradise above?
26062Would he not, indeed, make the work of missions stand forth as_ the_ work, and not as an exception or a peculiarity?
26062Would it have evinced a spirit of obedience?
26062Would it not be an unholy consecration-- a consecration at the hands of those who were not themselves consecrated?
26062Would not Gabriel feel himself honored with a work so noble and glorious?
26062Would our visit to them fill them with rage and bitterness, and tempt them to crucify us?
26062Would 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?
26062and have not such enterprises, to some extent, been already entered upon with success?
26062and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?"
26062and what has been their deportment towards thee?"
26062and who thereby teach the heathen injustice, cheating, drunkenness, lewdness, and recklessness of life?
26062are we to relax our efforts for them, because they are ungodly?
26062become a missionary?
26062can the church be so low in grace?
26062does he merely send_ money_ for his ransom?
26062does she merely give money, and hire a nurse to take little or no care of it?
26062have their hearts become hard, like blocks of wood and pieces of rock?
26062hold they back?
26062how will you endure the keen remorse and fearful looking for of judgment, which may ere long overtake you?
26062indeed; does it betray fickleness to leave a church to become a missionary?
26062more prominent, compared with other cities of that time, than any city in the United States?
26062of what is your heart made, that it does not feel?
26062or sink in ceaseless and untold misery?
26062that their retrenchments had been made_ first_ in personal expenditures, and last in efforts to save souls?
26062that they were in a distressing emergency for food and clothing?
26062what mean those lamentations, Rolling sadly through the sky?
26062when 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?
316471 is our"bodies"?
3164721?
31647A saint in glory?
31647After all, this question will hinge on another, Do you love Him?
31647An angel?
31647And does not this feeling, that we are dealing with a larger thing than we can grasp, take away from the sense of reality?
31647And how can the Lord keep what He has not been sincerely asked to take?
31647And if so, is it any wonder that we have not realized all the power and joy of full consecration?
31647And if some, why not all?
31647And 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?
31647And if they are, are you trusting Him to keep them, and enjoying all that is involved in that keeping?
31647And if we know that He heard it, should we not believe that He has answered it, and fulfilled this, our heart''s desire?
31647And 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?
31647And may we not expect a fresh and special blessing in so doing?
31647And now, dear friend, what about your own hands?
31647And oh, why did n''t they ever talk to me about it, instead of about my lessons or their little girls at home?
31647And one knows they are true, and that they can not really return void, and what can give greater confidence than that?
31647And so when the question,''How much owest thou unto my Lord?''
31647And so, if we may commit the days to our Lord, why not the hours, and why not the moments?
31647And there_ is_ chastening, but the Father''s love Flows through it; and would any trusting heart Forego the chastening and forego the love?
31647And what has He to say to us?
31647And what is being made willing, but having our will taken and kept?
31647And what is to be for Him?
31647And what then?
31647And why should we allow him to argue with us for one instant, as if it were still an open question?
31647Are any words so blest?
31647Are not such moments proved to have been kept for Him?
31647Are they consecrated to the Lord who loves you?
31647Are they not the tiny joints in the harness through which the darts of temptation pierce us?
31647Are we feeling this a little?
31647Are we not''without excuse''?
31647Are you getting any real and lasting satisfaction out of it all?
31647Are you not finding that things lose their flavour, and that you are spending your strength day after day for nought?
31647Are you one of His people by faith in Jesus Christ?
31647Are you satisfied with your experience of the other''sort of thing''?
31647Are you willing to be''_ only_''for Jesus?
31647But as we do so, are we not conscious of a feeling that even a year is too much for us to deal with?
31647But if not,_ why_ not?
31647But is there any hope that, thus returning, our flickering love may be kept from again failing?
31647But what has our Lord to say?
31647But what then?
31647But 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?
31647But why not take the same decided course, and share the same blessed keeping and its fulness of hidden reward?
31647Can He have refused it when He has said,''Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out''?
31647Can He not communicate both the power and the gentleness?
31647Can any words be more tender, more touching, to you, to me?
31647Can there be a stronger promise?
31647Could we choose a nobler joy?--and would we, if we might?
31647Dare we add,''And I know that Thou canst not do that''?
31647Day after day passes on, and year after year, and what shall the harvest be?
31647Did He not die to save you?
31647Did he, too, unaccountably forget to mention that he only meant all that was within him,_ except_ self?
31647Do you ask,''But what use can he make of mere moments?''
31647Do you honestly want your very feet to be''kept for Jesus''?
31647Do you not feel that in very proportion to the gift you need the special keeping of it?
31647Do you not think the hand which Jesus had just touched must have ministered very excellently?
31647Do you not want a Friend?
31647Do you not want a Saviour?
31647Do you not want a blessing?
31647Do you want an added motive?
31647Does He or does He not mean what He says?
31647Does it please the Master when even in our zeal for His work we annoy anxious friends by carelessness in little things of this kind?
31647Does 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?
31647Does our heavenly Bridegroom expect nothing more of us?
31647Does this mean that we are always to be doing some definitely''religious''work, as it is called?
31647Flowers on thy pathway, Skies ever clear?
31647For He hath said_ How_ much-- and who shall dare to change His measure?
31647For Thee, who art to me--_what?_ Fill that up too, before Him!
31647For what is material force compared with moral force?
31647For what_ is_''the good pleasure of His will''?
31647Has not this vagueness had something to do with the constant ineffectiveness of our feeble desire that our time should be devoted to God?
31647Has our Lord reason to say,''My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as a stream of brooks they pass away''?
31647Has the flow grown gradually slower and shallower?
31647Have we been grateful for the infinite thought and wisdom which our Lord has expended upon us and our creation, preservation, and redemption?
31647Have we not been wronging His faithfulness all this time by practically, even if unconsciously, doubting whether the prayer ever really reached Him?
31647Have we not drifted away from the golden reminder,''Should he reason with unprofitable talk, and with speeches wherewith he can do no good?''
31647Have we not heard of one gentle touch on a wayward shoulder being the turning- point of a life?
31647Have we not sometimes sat down to write, feeling perplexed and ignorant, and wishing some one were there to tell us what to say?
31647Have we really let Him have the use of these hands of ours?
31647Have 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?
31647He wants to have you with Him; Do you not want Him too?
31647Here I am usually met by the query,''But what would you advise me to sing?''
31647Here is His promise of just what you so want; will you not gladly fulfil His condition?
31647Honestly, now, have you trusted Him to keep your lips_ this day?_ Trust necessarily implies expectation that what we have entrusted will be kept.
31647How can another keep that which we are keeping hold of?
31647How can mortal heart conceive what is enfolded in these words,''I also for thee''?
31647How can mortal mind estimate this enormous promise?
31647How can we let the world, the flesh, and the devil have the use of what has been purchased with such payment?
31647How could I rest, when I had heard His fame, In that dark lonely land of death from whence I came?
31647How many for the spirit of praise, and how many for the spirit of heaviness?
31647How shall I obey?''
31647I said to him,''Well, H., we have a good Master, have we not?''
31647I take this pain, Lord Jesus; But what beside?
31647If He is not to have all, then_ how much?_ Calculate, balance, and apportion.
31647If He says,''What is that in thine hand?''
31647If our feet are not our own, ought we not to take care of them for Him whose they are?
31647If 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?
31647If you are mourning over want of realized consecration, will you look humbly and sincerely into_ this_ point?
31647If you only knew-- and why should you not know?
31647If''singing for Jesus''is such delight here, what will this''singing_ with_ Jesus''be?
31647In view of this, shall we care to reserve anything that rust doth corrupt for ourselves?
31647Is He not all you need?
31647Is He not kind indeed?
31647Is it a little too much for them all to''flow in ceaseless praise''?
31647Is it not a beautiful one?
31647Is it not for want of putting our hands into our dear Master''s hand, and asking and trusting Him to keep them?
31647Is it not obvious that it is the man''s distinct duty to see to this faithfully?
31647Is 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''?
31647Is it not wonderful to think that the Lord Jesus will not only accept and keep, but actually_ use_ our love?
31647Is it the experience of Christians that the coming in of a new object of affection interferes with entire consecration to God?''
31647Is it worthy of our acceptation or not?
31647Is not He good?
31647Is not His name called''Counsellor''?
31647Is not that enough?
31647Is not the taking rather the pledge of the keeping, if we will but entrust Him fearlessly with it?
31647Is not this enough, Though the desert prospect Open wild and rough?
31647Is not this, O you who love the Lord-- is not this worth living for, worth asking for, worth trusting for?
31647Is not your answer to your Father''s''What wilt thou?''
31647Is there not work enough for any lifetime in unfolding and distributing that one message to His own people?
31647Is 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''?
31647It 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?''
31647It may be no to- morrow Shall dawn on you or me; Why will you run the awful risk Of all eternity?
31647Jephthah uttered all his words before the Lord; what about ours?
31647Now shall we, can we, reserve any corner of our hearts from Him?
31647Now you who have been taking a half- and- half course, do_ you_ get such rewards as this?
31647Oh, shall He call in vain?
31647Oh, why Should they misrepresent Thy words, and make''Narrow''synonymous with''very hard''?
31647Once the question was asked,''Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?''
31647One loves them and rejoices in them, and what can be greater help to any singer than that?
31647One who will love you faithfully, And love you to the end?
31647Shall I, can I yet withhold From that living, loving Saviour Aught of silver or of gold?
31647Shall not the time past of your life suffice you for the miserable, double- hearted, calculating service?
31647Shall 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?
31647Shall we trust His word or not?
31647Shall you or I remember all this love, and hesitate to give all our moments up to Him?
31647Shall''the devil''have the use of them?
31647Shall''the flesh''have the use of them?
31647Shall''the world''have the use of them?
31647Should not all this be additional motive for desiring that our_ whole_ selves should be taken and kept?
31647Should we not be utterly ashamed to think of it?
31647So may we not ask Him to bring His perfect foreknowledge to bear on all our mental training and storing?
31647So what is the very first doubting, and therefore sad thought that crops up?
31647Sometimes it is less than that; only a look( and what is more momentary?)
31647Songs in the springtime, Pleasure and mirth?
31647The only question is, will we trust this promise, or will we not?
31647The preacher claims the promise,''My word shall not return unto Me void,''and why should not the singer equally claim it?
31647Then why should we doubt that He did verily take our lives when we offered them-- our bodies when we presented them?
31647This may be good, but is there nothing better?
31647Treasures of earth?
31647Was ever mythic tale or dream So bold as this reality,--this stream Of boundless blessings flowing full and free?
31647Was it not kinder the task to turn, Than to let it pass, As a lost, lost leaf that she did not learn?
31647Was it not worth the pain?
31647We 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?
31647We know this very well, but have we realized it?
31647Well, where will you stop?
31647What calls forth the deepest, brightest, sweetest thrill of love and praise?
31647What can be found Bringing thee sunshine All the year round?
31647What defence can we bring, what excuse can we invent, for so doing?
31647What has a consecrated life to do with being''afraid''?
31647What is even the present return?
31647What is it that has dulled and weakened the echo of our consecration song?
31647What is the Bride''s true and central treasure?
31647What is to be done then?
31647What manner of love is it?
31647What proportion of your moments do you think enough for Jesus?
31647What right have we to pick out one of His faithful sayings, and say we do n''t expect Him to fulfil that?
31647What shall I render to my glorious King?
31647What shall I wish thee?
31647What shall I wish thee?
31647What should be quoted to prove or describe it?
31647What will You do without Him?
31647What will you do without Him, When He hath shut the door, And you are left outside, because You would not come before?
31647What will you do without Him, When death is drawing near?
31647What_ is_, if such plain and yet divine words are not?
31647Where is the consecration you have talked about?
31647Where is the treasure, Lasting and dear, That shall ensure thee A Happy New Year?
31647Where is your faith?
31647Which do you really care most about-- a diamond on your finger, or a star in the Redeemer''s kingdom, shining for ever and ever?
31647Which is greatest, gifts or grace?
31647Which shall it be?
31647While we have been undervaluing these fractions of eternity, what has our gracious God been doing in them?
31647Whose heart?
31647Why has this been, perhaps again and again?
31647Why 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?
31647Why should only those who have limited means have the privilege of offering to their Lord that which has really cost them something to offer?
31647Why should we hesitate to bear this testimony?
31647Why should you do without Him?
31647Why will you do without Him, And wander on alone?
31647Why will you do without Him?
31647Why will you do without Him?
31647Why will you do without Him?
31647Will you look up into His face and say,''_ Not_ willing''?
31647Will you not henceforth say,''Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me''?
31647Will 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''?
31647Will you not seek it?
31647With 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''?
31647Would it not be an unimaginable joy to do what He asked us to do with that money?
31647Would this ensure thee A Happy New Year?
31647Your 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?
31647and can we ever hesitate to give_ all_ our poor little hours to His service?
31647and have we ever simply and sincerely asked Him to keep them for His own use?
31647and if He does, should we not trust Him to do this thing that we have asked and longed for, and not less but more?
31647and will He not be faithful to the promise of His name in this, as well as in all else?
31647are we always to stand at the threshold?
31647are we only to look forward to the same disappointing experience over again?
31647books which must and do fill your mind with those''other things''which, entering in, choke the word?
31647books 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?
31647how could we have praised Him enough?
31647is mine such blessedness to- day?
31647or rather, should we, for one instant, think about self or self- denial at all?
31647that you are no more satisfied than you were a year ago-- rather less so, if anything?
31647things which evidently can not be used, as they most certainly are not used, either for Him or by Him?
31647to 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?
31647what are gases, and vapours, and elements, compared with souls and the eternity for which they are preparing?
31647what is the little leak that hinders the swift and buoyant course of our consecrated life?
44420And is this the doctrine which men call a contracted one? 44420 Doth he not speak parables?"
44420Doth he not speak parables?
44420Is not this written,they have said,"for the ages to come?
44420May we not speak of eternal blessedness?
44420May we speak in the pulpit of slaves?
44420Monotonous is this theme? 44420 Now, what is the meaning of this plain term''Christ''?
44420Shall we not converse, then, on endless misery?
44420Understandest 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?
44420All else might go-- it were little;"Why hast thou forsaken me?"
44420And have you still a favorite theme which you have not suggested?"
44420And he said unto me,"Son of man, can these bones live?"
44420And how can this be said?
44420And meantime what is becoming of the countries in which these different confessions are established?
44420And on whom does Jesus pronounce His beatitude?
44420And the first that you hear of him as a penitent man is:"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
44420And what are all these aspirations?
44420And what are they?
44420And what is it to sleep awhile if I am Christ''s?
44420And what is the burden of her strain?
44420And who have they to assist them?
44420And yet when such trial has been passed we involuntarily say-- has not a foundation been laid?
44420Art thou thyself saved?
44420As the Pharisees said:"Who can forgive sins but God only?"
44420As they said to the apostles so they will say to us:"If this be triumph, what can be defeat?
44420But has such a Church been realized?
44420But how can I verify this assertion?
44420But how can we appreciate the King, unless we learn the nature of the beings over whom He rules?
44420But if Christ desired that His Father''s name should be glorified, how was this to be accomplished?
44420But is the human mind an end worthy of all the contrivances in nature?
44420But is this an ultimate object?
44420But still was He not our brother; the son of man, as we are; the son of God, like ourselves?
44420But the question is further suggested, What is this qualification?
44420But what if this should take place?
44420But 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?
44420But who are you?
44420By what medium, or means?
44420Can I not die, since Christ died?
44420Can I not suffer, since Christ suffered?
44420Can the visible Church indeed afford to do without these motives?
44420Can these bones live?
44420Can we by searching find out the whole of atoning love?
44420Can you not speak of Medes and Parthians, Indians and Arabians?
44420Could it ever be renovated?
44420Deliverer?
44420Did you not dispute with the Roman sergeants, plead your cause before the Roman courts?
44420Do they exist for elucidating His power?
44420Do we adopt a Ptolemaic theory in morals, that man is the center of the system, and other worlds revolve round him?
44420Do you appreciate Christ''s matchless excellences?
44420Does the load of earth above me and beneath which I am placed press upon me?
44420Does the present generation believe that which its fathers believed?
44420Does the sun, with all its retinue of stars, pursue its daily course with no aim ulterior to man''s welfare?
44420For how is pure and undefiled religion defined?
44420For if He were not a man, but a god, what are all these things?
44420From what?
44420Had he not told them the plan and method of His own government?
44420Has there ever been a visible organized body of men who carried out this sublime purpose?
44420Have they, or have they not, immortal souls?
44420Have you experienced such a change?
44420Having cast away every sin to embrace him, do you set him above your chiefest joy?
44420His excellence-- was it not human excellence?
44420His knowledge?
44420His love?
44420His wisdom, love, piety,--sweet and celestial as they were,--are they not what we also may attain?
44420How can you prove that there ever was a book called the Word of God?
44420How could they help themselves?
44420How do you know the Scriptures were ever written?
44420How long shall human power exalt itself?
44420How long shall the powers of darkness hold jubilee?
44420How low down in a man sometimes( not always) lies the fundamental motive which sways his life?
44420How will persons sacrifice themselves to their objects?
44420I hear them say"How long shall man triumph?
44420If I might so speak, would you be proud to carry His shoes?
44420If Paul and Jesus could read our books of theological doctrines, would they accept as their teaching what men have vented in their name?
44420If this be triumph, what is defeat?
44420In how much more respect, in how much holier veneration should we hold this body?
44420Is 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?
44420Is all this preaching a mere idle theory of life?
44420Is he like a follower of the Lamb who is raging like a roaring lion?
44420Is he like a pardoned criminal who sits moping with a cloud upon his brow?
44420Is he like an heir of heaven, like a man destined to a crown, who is vexed and fretted with some petty loss?
44420Is he like one in whose bosom the dove of heaven is nestling, who is full of all manner of bile and bitterness?
44420Is it an unspiritual motive?
44420Is it cold?
44420Is not this one of parables concerning the kingdom of God?"
44420Is there some keen passion connected with this world at the bottom?
44420Is there such a heart in you?
44420It is this:"Should a Christian minister out of the pulpit, as well as in the pulpit, know nothing save the Crucified One?
44420It is well to know Christ, but in all the varying scenes of life is it well not to know anything else?
44420Must not everyone conduct business, and sustain cares, which draw his mind away from the atonement?"
44420Must 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?"
44420My soul thirsteth after thee as a thirsty land"?
44420Nevertheless, there is a triumph in the Christian world and there is a triumph in the anti- Christian world; and what is it?
44420Of what would you speak?"
44420Of what, then, would you speak?"
44420Oh grave, where is thy victory?"
44420One had asked him,"Father, do you remember me?"
44420Or if not, where is the life itself?
44420Our first inquiry would be:"Is not your theme too contracted?
44420Rather than part with Him, would you part with a thousand worlds?
44420Sent whom?
44420She bends over him, and as her tears fall thick upon his face, she cries,"Do you not remember me?"
44420She stood wondering, when she heard a voice behind her which said,"Woman, why weepest thou?"
44420Since these notions are so fleeting, why need we accept the commandment of men as the doctrine of God?
44420The errors which were once dominant, lordly, confident, and persecuting-- where are they now?
44420The first that you hear of him as a convicted man is in the words:"Who art thou, Lord?"
44420The way in which man bears temptation is what decides his character; yet how secret is the system of temptation?
44420Then, again, unless man received a new nature, how could he sing the new song?
44420There is an accusation which is repeated from age to age against the Catholic and Roman Church; and what is it?
44420They 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?
44420They may well have said to him,"What is this triumph you speak of?
44420This may be latent, not at first sight apparent, nor suspected, but how soon does it appear when put to the proof?
44420To die, if I am like Christ in dying?
44420Too large a theme is the atonement?
44420True, it may not emerge from the struggle of bare endurance here, but has not the seed been sown?
44420Vile in one sense it may be; yet what, although it be covered with sores?
44420Was He ashamed of the lowly and the down- trodden, and those who have become the reproach of men and the despised of the people?
44420Was Jesus, or was He not, crucified for them?
44420Was 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?
44420Was there ever a life of less ease and security, yet of more buoyant and rejoicing spirit than his?
44420We 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?"
44420Well might He still say,"Have I been so long with you, and yet hast thou not known me?"
44420Were He now on earth, would you leave a throne to stoop and tie His latchet?
44420What His words, His life, His excellence of achievement?
44420What are these men who are rising up to purify the Church?
44420What could all this mean?
44420What do they believe?
44420What else, then, do you prefer for your topic of conversation?"
44420What hath produced such a wonderful difference in public feeling?
44420What is meant by this oneness, or this union?
44420What is the cause of this great change?--how brought about?
44420What is the meaning of it?
44420What is the secret of their power?
44420What is their appeal?
44420What is this which men must possess in order to accomplish Christ''s purpose of inducing the world to believe?
44420What its issue was?
44420What populations are growing up in them?
44420What the real ordeal has been?
44420What then?
44420What tie of home or nation did he not break, that he might join in one of the whole family of God?
44420What was to occur?
44420What weight did he not cast aside, to run the race that was set before him?
44420What wonder the fabric is in peril when tried by fire?
44420What would you have, then, for your theme?"
44420What would you have, then, what can you think of for your choice topic of discourse?"
44420What, although it be clothed in rags?
44420What, although, in unseemly decrepitude, it want its fair proportions?
44420What, for example, can we know in its most important bearings, unless we know the history and office of our Redeemer?
44420Who dared dispute it?
44420Who knows what is going on?
44420Who told you all these things?
44420Why not then of Africans?
44420Why send a message to him?
44420Why this change?
44420Why?
44420Will he not be thus led to"believe the record that God has given us eternal life, and that this life is in his Son?"
44420Will not the pulpit become wearisome if, spring and autumn, summer and winter, it confine itself to a single topic?
44420Will the next generation believe anything?"
44420Will you not be a slave to your unswerving purpose?
44420Will you propose, then, some other theme for your remark?"
44420Would not those modest writers themselves be confounded at the idolatry we pay them?
44420Would you leave father, mother, wife, children, to follow Him, with bleeding feet, over life''s roughest path?
44420You speak of taking your stand, adhering to your decision; but this dry, stiff resolve- comes any genial spirit from it?
44420You speak of your stern purpose, but can you depend upon the continuance of it?
44420Your inflexible rule, will it not be a hard one, wearisome to yourself, disagreeable to others?

23772A Jupiter, and need an Æsculapius?
23772A god, and need a physician?
23772About midnight he was taken and bound with a kiss, art thou not too conformable to him in that?
23772And 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?
23772And can the other world name so many venomous, so many consuming, so many monstrous creatures, as we can diseases of all these kinds?
23772And fear famine, though we fear not enemies?
23772And how much less a piece of himself is that man?
23772And how quickly?
23772And in that vehement imprecation, the prophet expresses the highest of God''s anger,_ Give them, O Lord, what wilt thou give them?
23772And is it a question of comfort to be asked now, did your physic make you sick?
23772And shall we, O my God, make less use of those days who have more of them?
23772And then, where is my assurance?
23772And what organ is not well played on if thy hand be upon it?
23772And what other touchstone have we of our gold but comparison, whether we be as happy as others, or as ourselves at other times?
23772And when shall we date this obligation, this_ oportuit_, this necessity?
23772And 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?
23772And why, O God, dost thou not speak to me, in that effectual loudness?
23772And 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?
23772And would he not spare himself?
23772And would not the angels that fell have fixed themselves upon thee, if thou hadst once readmitted them to thy sight?
23772Any vein so empty as that that blood can not fill it?
23772Are they gods?
23772As my bed is my afflictions, when shall I bear them so as not to murmur at them?
23772At night he went into the garden to pray, and he prayed prolixious, he spent much time in prayer, how much?
23772At the end of these six years remains-- What have I, which I have not received from the Lord?
23772But a cloud?
23772But comes not this expostulation too near a murmuring?
23772But could I though I would?
23772But for all this metaphorical bread, victory over enemies that thought to devour us, may we not fear, that we may lack bread literally?
23772But for the body, how poor a wretched thing is that?
23772But hast thou afforded us no means to evaporate these smokes, to withdraw these vapours?
23772But he, for whose funeral these bells ring now, was at home, at his journey''s end yesterday; why ring they now?
23772But in that case there were bones to be seen, something visible, of which it might be said, Can this thing live?
23772But is every raising a preferment?
23772But is prayer for health in season, as soon as I am sick?
23772But since I do that, shall I not,_ Lord, lift up my face without spot, and be steadfast, and not fear_?
23772But then is that the end of all?
23772But what have I done, either to breed or to breathe these vapours?
23772But what is my assurance now?
23772But what is the present necessary action?
23772But wherefore, O my God, hast thou presented to us the afflictions and calamities of this life in the name of waters?
23772But why did he die?
23772But why do I exercise my meditation so long upon this, of having plentiful help in time of need?
23772But why then, my God, wilt thou not begin them here?
23772But will God pretend to make a watch, and leave out the spring?
23772But, Lord, thou art Lord of hosts, and lovest action; why callest thou me from my calling?
23772But, 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?
23772But, O my God, my God, do I that have this fever need other remembrances of my mortality?
23772But, 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?

23772But, O my God, why is it so?
23772By what measure did Jacob measure his life to Pharaoh?
23772Certainly this decree by which Christ was to suffer all this was an eternal decree, and was there any thing before that that was eternal?
23772Could I fit myself to stand or sit in any man''s place, and not to lie in any man''s grave?
23772Dare I ask this question?
23772Did his exemption and freedom from original sin preserve him from this corruption and incineration?
23772Did the hypostatical union of both natures, God and man, preserve him from this corruption and incineration?
23772Dost thou command me to speak to thee, and command me to fear thee; and do these destroy one another?
23772Dost thou look, that I should so look to the fuel or embers of sin, that I never take fire?
23772Dost thou not mean this when thou sayest,_ we shall understand the fear of the Lord_?
23772Dost thou think to find it, as thou madest it, in Adam?
23772Doth thy Son dwell bodily in this flesh that thou shouldst look for an unspottedness here?
23772First, 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?
23772Hast thou gone about to redeem thy sin, by fasting, by alms, by disciplines and mortifications, in way of satisfaction to the justice of God?
23772His soul is gone, whither?
23772Honours, pleasures, possessions, presented to us out of time?
23772How far did thy servant David press upon thy pardon in that petition,_ Cleanse thou me from secret sins_?
23772How many men are raised, and then do not fill the place they are raised to?
23772How many men that stand at an execution, if they would ask, For what dies that man?
23772How much more might I, who was in the bed of death, die?
23772How much oftener doth he exhibit a metaphorical Christ, than a real, a literal?
23772How 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?
23772How shall I bring to thy knowledge, by that way, those sins which I myself know not?
23772How shall I do that which thou requirest, and not falsify that which thou hast said, that sin is gone over all?
23772I am the dust and the ashes of the temple of the Holy Ghost, and what marble is so precious?
23772I do nothing, I know nothing of myself; how little and how impotent a piece of the world is any man alone?
23772I 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?
23772I must then speak to thee at all times, but when must I fear thee?
23772I was whipped by thy rod, before I came to consultation, to consider my state; and shall I go no farther?
23772If I accuse myself of original sin, wilt thou ask me if I know what original sin is?
23772If I confess to thee the sins of my youth, wilt thou ask me if I know what those sins were?
23772If I sleep not, shall I not be well in their sense?
23772If a choleric man be ready to strike, must I go about to purge his choler, or to break the blow?
23772If 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?
23772If man had been left alone in this world at first, shall I think that he would not have fallen?
23772If that be thy language in this voice, how infinitely am I bound to thy heavenly Majesty for speaking so plainly unto me?
23772If there had been no woman, would not man have served to have been his own tempter?
23772If these bells that warn to a funeral now, were appropriated to none, may not I, by the hour of the funeral, supply?
23772If this imaginary, half- nothing time, be of the essence of our happinesses, how can they be thought durable?
23772If we say, Can this dust live?
23772In 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?
23772Is it because some abuses may have crept in amongst Christians?
23772Is it enough to refuse it, because it was in use among the Gentiles?
23772Is it not evidently so in our affections, in our passions?
23772Is it not so in states too?
23772Is it not so in the accidents of the diseases of our mind too?
23772Is not mine own hollow voice, voice enough to pronounce that to me?
23772Is not my meditation rather to be inclined another way, to condole and commiserate their distress who have none?
23772Is not that too literally, too exactly thy case, at midnight to have been taken and bound with a kiss?
23772Is not this to hang a man at his own door, to lay him sick in his own bed of wantonness?
23772Is 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?
23772Is that enough, that their ringing hath been said to drive away evil spirits?
23772Is that joy and that glory but a comparative glory and a comparative joy?
23772Is 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?
23772Is the joy of heaven no perfecter in itself, but that it needs the sourness of this life to give it a taste?
23772Is there any more?
23772Is there any other measure of the greatness of my danger, than the greatness of thy displeasure?
23772Is there any thing incurable, upon which that balm drops?
23772It is my study; doth not my calling call for that?
23772It is my thoughtfulness; was I not made to think?
23772It is the union of the body and soul, and, O my God, could I prevent that, or can I dissolve that?
23772Jonah 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?
23772Must we look to be drowned?
23772My 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?
23772My 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?
23772Nay, is it not so( at least much towards it) even in the exercise of virtues?
23772Need I look upon a death''s head in a ring, that have one in my face?
23772No?
23772Not lie down upon it, as it is my pleasure, not sink under it, as it is my correction?
23772Now, whom doth it concern to learn both the danger and benefit of death?
23772O what a giant is man when he fights against himself, and what a dwarf when he needs or exercises his own assistance for himself?
23772O who, if before he had a being he could have sense of this misery, would buy a being here upon these conditions?
23772Oh, have I always done so?
23772Quid apertius diceretur?_ says he there, what can be more obvious, more manifest than this sense of these words?
23772Quid apertius diceretur?_ says he there, what can be more obvious, more manifest than this sense of these words?
23772Shall I find thee in bed?
23772Shall that slacken my hope?
23772Shall this come to such a leprosy in my body that I must die alone; alone without them that should assist, that should comfort me?
23772Since the whole sickness is thy physic, shall any accident in it be my poison by my murmuring?
23772The 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?
23772They never relapsed; if I do, must not my case be as desperate?
23772They tell me it is my melancholy; did I infuse, did I drink in melancholy into myself?
23772This is man''s prerogative; but what state hath he in this dignity?
23772This soul this bell tells me is gone out, whither?
23772Though it be well with them at one time, may they not fear that it may be worse?
23772Thy first breath breathed a soul into me, and shall thy breath blow it out?
23772Thy method is,_ In time of thy sickness, be not negligent_: wherein wilt thou have my diligence expressed?
23772Time is not so; how can they be thought to be?
23772To this bed?
23772Was I not sick before?
23772Was that it that my physic promised, to make me sick?
23772We rejoice in the comfort of fire, but does any man cleave to it at midsummer?
23772We say often that a man may live of a little; but, alas, of how much less may a man die?
23772We, 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?
23772What Hippocrates, what Galen, could show me that in my body?
23772What fugitive, what almsman of any foreign state, can do so much harm as a detractor, a libeller, a scornful jester at home?
23772What gave him this privilege?
23772What preserved him then?
23772What shall I do?
23772What will not kill a man if a vapour will?
23772When art thou so ready, when is it so seasonable to thee, to commiserate, as in misery?
23772When didst thou rebuke any petitioner with the name of importunate?
23772When didst thou search mine?
23772When shall I take up my bed and walk?
23772When shall men leave their uncharitable disputations, which is to take place, faith or repentance, and which, when we consider faith and works?
23772When shall we say that began?
23772When 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?
23772When wilt thou bid me_ take up my bed and walk_?
23772When wilt thou do all?
23772When wilt thou speak in thy loud voice?
23772Whither shall I come to thee?
23772Who bends not his ear to any bell which upon any occasion rings?
23772Who can that be, says he, but Jesus?
23772Who casts not up his eye to the sun when it rises?
23772Who comes to a day of hearing, in a cause of any importance, with one advocate?
23772Who saw it come in, or who saw it go out?
23772Who shall tell me that?
23772Whom?
23772Why are there not always waters in mine eyes, to testify my spiritual sickness?
23772Why do I ask?
23772Why dost thou melt me, scatter me, pour me like water upon the ground so instantly?
23772Why is none of the heaviness of my heart dispensed into mine eye- lids, that they might fall as my heart doth?
23772Why is there not always a pulse in my soul to beat at the approach of a temptation to sin?
23772Why should not that be always good by which thou hast declared thy plentiful goodness to us?
23772Why should we fear them?
23772Why should we look for it in a disease, which is the disorder, the discord, the irregularity, the commotion and rebellion of the body?
23772Why then, O my God, my blessed God, in the ways of my spiritual strength, come I so slow to action?
23772Why, O my God, is a relapse so odious to thee?
23772Wilt Thou forgive that sin through which I run, And do run still, though still I do deplore?
23772Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun A year or two:--but wallow''d in a score?
23772Wilt 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?
23772Wilt thou give me an inheritance, a filiation, any thing for my heart?
23772Wilt thou make thy process and thy decree, thy citation and thy judgment, but one act?
23772Wouldst 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?
23772and how lame a picture, how faint a representation is that, of the precipitation of man''s body to dissolution?
23772and that herein, in a show of humility and thankfulness, I magnify myself more than there is cause?
23772and what a minute is man''s life in respect of the sun''s, or of a tree?
23772and why die so?
23772and 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?
23772are they bottomless, are they boundless?
23772but who can remove it from that bell which is passing a piece of himself out of this world?
23772but who takes off his eye from a comet when that breaks out?
23772how much do we lack of having remedies for every disease, when as yet we have not names for them?
23772if a magistrate, for justice?
23772leave no other answer, but that the hand of death pressed upon him from the first minute?
23772not heal me wholly?
23772not heal me?
23772not if this evil determine in death?
23772not such in itself, but such in comparison of the joylessness and the ingloriousness of this world?
23772or for counsel, if he were a lawyer?
23772or go for death to my neighbour''s house, that have him in my bosom?
23772or is every present preferment a station?
23772or 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_?
23772or shall I be open to the contrary?
23772or will God make a spring, and not wind it up?
23772or wilt thou take from them that evidence, and that testimony that they are thy Israel, or thou their salvation?
23772should hear their own faults condemned, and see themselves executed by attorney?
23772so odious?
23772so often in the name of waters, and deep waters, and seas of waters?
23772thus,_ He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart_?
23772to 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?
23772what is my seal?
23772when thou madest them?
44439How 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?''"
44439The Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
44439The Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
44439We thus judge, that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him who--owns them?
44439Where art thou?
44439Where art thou?
44439Who 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?
44439A musical instrument may discourse sacred melodies better than the holiest lips can sing them, but who thinks of commending it for its piety?
44439Am I not availing myself of the faculties which Thou has given to make myself respectable, and useful, and exemplary in my generation?
44439Am I not discharging the duties of my station?
44439Am I not doing Thy work?
44439Am I not setting an example of diligence and sobriety?
44439And can we not trust Him?
44439And did He not do the same in the sixteenth century?
44439And do they not speak to us?
44439And have they already collapsed and gone, like last year''s flowers struck with frost, back again to the mold?
44439And hell?
44439And if not so controlled, is not the alternative as to His character even more fearful?
44439And if this be our human judgment, what must the divine judgment be?
44439And is not man''s soul a part of nature-- the highest part?
44439And is there not a presumption, following the line of a man''s best manhood, that immortality is true?
44439And 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?
44439And whence came this earnestness?
44439And why may not the highest of all hopes and joys possess the same all- pervading influence?
44439And with these thoughts come others about moral retribution--"What is its purpose?
44439And you will rejoice-- will you not?
44439And"can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
44439Are 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?
44439Are they not as true now as when they struck upon the shivering ear of Nicodemus?
44439Are they not rising toward the ineffable?
44439Art thou doing the work I gave thee to do?
44439Art thou happy?
44439Art thou safe?
44439Art thou useful?
44439Brethren, are you of that happy family?
44439But is this the highest, the religious sanction of morality?
44439But we ask, perhaps, thirdly: How does God call to us?
44439But what God has cleansed, why should we call common or unclean?
44439But what is anything that is organized in life worth in comparison with the soul of a man?
44439But who is equal to the task of handling it?
44439But yet, indeed, am I not providing for that other world in making a proper use of this?
44439Can God, in this respect, be at once less merciful and less powerful than men?
44439Can a parent go back from the grave where he has laid his children and say,"I shall never see them more?"
44439Can it, can any punishment have any right purpose save the correction, or the annihilation, of the criminal?
44439Can such a love do other than yearn for immortality?
44439Can there be one morality for God, and another for man, made in the image of God?
44439Claims them?
44439Did He not then sweep from the minds and hearts of half Christendom beliefs which had been sacred and indubitable for a thousand years?
44439Do you know God by His"new name"?
44439Does not our experience of the friendship of Jesus correspond with what we are taught of it in the Scriptures?
44439Does not the nature of every man that is high and noble revolt at flesh and matter?
44439Does not"the Spirit witness with our spirit that we are born of God"?
44439Does one need to go into a rigorous logical examination of this subject?
44439Easy?
44439Easy?
44439Easy?
44439Easy?
44439Easy?
44439Easy?
44439Easy?
44439Easy?
44439From whence did their conscience and judgment come?
44439Had not even the heathens believed as much, and said so, by the mouth of the poet Virgil?
44439Have we not the foretokens of it?
44439Have we, if our religion be real, no anticipation of happiness in the glorious future?
44439Have you entered upon it, or are you now willing to enter upon it?
44439Have you learned to say,"Our Father which art in heaven"?
44439Have you obtained life from the dead through His name?
44439Heaven?
44439How can I do all this, and yet be religious?
44439How can I find time for both worlds at once?
44439How can we help believing in it, while we see it working around us, in many a fearful shape, here, now, in this life?
44439How could He, if He be the same yesterday, to- day, and for ever?
44439How could He, who said of Himself,"My Father worketh hitherto, and I work"?
44439How is it calculated to influence our manhood?
44439How is it here briefly exprest?
44439How is it?
44439How shall it be used to work most effectually in the direction of civilization and refinement?
44439I know not how else to express the force of the inquiry,"Where art thou?"
44439I 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?"
44439In what way shall it be employed to lead man God- ward?
44439Is 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?
44439Is 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?
44439Is it not a strange thing?
44439Is it not rather the anarchy of hate, injustice, impurity, uselessness; wherein abides all that is opposed to God?"
44439Is it well with thee in the future?
44439Is it well with thee in the present?
44439Is it yours?
44439Is not that the eternal heaven wherein God abides for ever, and with Him those who are like God?
44439Is not the analogy of the faculties one that leads us to believe that there is some such thing?
44439Is not the human soul, then, itself a witness of the truth of immortality?
44439Is not the thought revolting to every instinct of manhood?
44439Is not the true and real heaven the kingdom of love, justice, purity, beneficence?
44439Is not this"the witness of the Spirit,"the"earnest of the promised possession"?
44439Is that His justice, that His love, which if we copied, we should call each other, and deservedly, utterly unjust and unloving?
44439Is that only a thin film which reflects the transient experiences of a life of joy or sadness, and goes out?
44439Is there any matter outside of mind that produces thought and feeling such as we see evolved among men?
44439Is 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?
44439Is this enough in the day of distress and bankruptcy?
44439It might have been put, it is put in the Bible, in different forms-- but how is it here exprest?
44439It says,"What is thy present place as a man with a soul, as an immortal being?
44439It was the voice of the Lord God within, calling to Adam, and saying,"Where art thou?"
44439Men are asking questions about the heaven, the spiritual world, and saying,"The spiritual world?
44439My friend, believest thou the Scriptures?
44439My friends, do you really believe in that kingdom, and in that King?
44439Nay, my friends, would not these solemn words startle many of us?
44439No matter how it was born, what purpose is it to serve?
44439Now, to whom does He here speak?
44439O Jesus of Nazareth, who can declare Thee?
44439Oh, who could stand when that inquirer appeared?
44439Oh, who might abide the scrutiny of that question?
44439Or shall we degenerate into faithless fears, and unmanly wailings that the flood of infidelity is irresistible, and that Christ has left His Church?
44439Or, putting it in another form, will you say that God could not have prevented evil?
44439ROBERTSON 1816- 1853 THE LONELINESS OF CHRIST_ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
44439Should we not say-- We know that Christ has been so doing, for centuries and for ages?
44439Tell me, who caused you to be born where and what you were?
44439That if new truths are being discovered, Christ Himself may be revealing them?
44439That if opinions be changing, then Christ Himself may be changing them?
44439That if some of those truths seem to contradict those which He has revealed already, they do not really contradict them?
44439The Father-- the Father which is with us and in us-- what does He think?
44439The actions of an automaton may be outwardly the same as those of a moral agent, but who attributes to them goodness or badness?
44439The lonely spirit answered,"Do ye now believe?
44439The question is not how it started; the question is, What becomes of it now that it has begun?
44439The world is so gay, so amusing, so exciting: hast Thou not made it so for our enjoyment?
44439Then, what is life worth?
44439There are, at last, the words uttered-- few and plain, yet, when looked into, big with meaning--"Where art thou?"
44439Thou sayest to me, O Lord,"Where art thou?"
44439To live surrounded by objects which appeal to the sight, and yet to endure as seeing what is invisible?
44439To resist that subtle foe who has cast down so many of the wise and the mighty?
44439To take the judgment and conscience of other men to live by, where is the humility of that?
44439To"crucify the flesh,""to deny ungodliness,""to cut off a right hand, and to pluck out a right eye"?
44439Was evil really unavoidable in a proper moral system?
44439Was that dust, then?
44439Was the fountain from which they drew exhausted for you?
44439We are building a crystal character with much pain and self- denial; and it is to be built as bubbles are blown?
44439We have seen these things, and why argue against facts?
44439What cheering voice will greet us then?
44439What do we gain by obliterating this fair vision?
44439What has the dark, morbid, unhappy sensualist to do with it?
44439What have we fit to set before so august and holy a visitant?
44439What is finer in line than the bubble?
44439What is human sin but the abuse of human appetites, of human passions, of human faculties, in themselves all innocent?
44439What is it adapted to do?
44439What is more airy?
44439What is the difference between a dew- drop and a diamond?
44439What is the difference between the saint and the sinner?
44439What is thy present standing, thy present state?
44439What kind roof will receive us then?
44439What loving friend will welcome us then?
44439What right has any one to say that God is passionless?
44439What worldly work so absorbing as to leave no room in a believer''s spirit for the hallowing thought of that glorious Presence ever near?
44439What, then, are we to believe and do?
44439When Jesus says it is a"strait gate,"and that if we would enter we must"strive,"bidding us"take up our cross daily, deny ourselves and follow him"?
44439Where are those leaders who should be leading their people to useful employments, to distant countries, where are they?
44439Where art thou?
44439Where will he attend to it?
44439Who can equal the pictures which are painted on the panes of glass in our winter rooms?
44439Who decided that you were to have poor parents or rich, Christian parents or un- Christian?
44439Who has managed your circumstances for you since you had a being?
44439Who has not some sin which most easily besets him?
44439Who settled that you should be born in this country and not in that?
44439Who took away from you that friend for whom you are now mourning-- that parent, that brother, that sister, that wife, that child?
44439Why does he not faint beneath the burden?
44439Why should He not be doing so now?
44439Why should not heaven continue to shine on?
44439Why should we not look into it, and believe that it is, and that it waits for us?
44439Why this postponement of the desired result?
44439Will judge them?
44439Wilt thou be any fitter to- morrow than to- day for that step across the barrier which now seems so premature, so presumptuous?
44439Wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?"
44439Yes, my brother, but why this delay?
44439You are enjoying peace-- but-- what peace?
44439his reply was,"Rest?
44439is this thing which I wish to do really forbidden?"
44439let this affection impel us, and who shall measure our diligence or repress our zeal?
44439not, where is he?
44439some place where he had gone to sin?
44439some place where he would not for the world have been seen by any human eye, and where he gladly forgot that there was yet one eye which did see him?
44439still less, generally, where are they?
44439why does he not sink in the storm?
44439would have had a startling and condemning sound?--some place where he was sinning?

8906Am I not a privileged and happy woman?
8906And now,he said,"will you show me what to do?"
8906And the saving of twins, and the right of twin- mothers to live as women and not as unclean beasts in the bush?
8906And the women?
8906And what did you say to that?
8906Canna do what?
8906Dear daughter of the King,exclaimed the missionary,"why do you say that?
8906Do ye see that fire?
8906Do you know?
8906Do you remember that?
8906Get a bicycle, Ma,they said,"and come as far as you can-- we will soon have a motor car service for you,"Motors in Ibibio?
8906Have I been grumbling?
8906Have we?
8906How can this poor tabernacle do it, even with six lads to push and pull and carry the cart through the streams? 8906 How do you know,"the latter said,"that it is not the God of the white man that is angry with you?
8906I feel the smallness of the returnsshe said,"but is the labour lost?
8906If they do n''t do that,demanded the chiefs,"how can they have children for us?"
8906If we changed places what would happen?
8906Is baptism necessary for salvation, mother?
8906Is that extravagant?
8906Is that too selfish?
8906Ma--incredulously--"do you mean that this is not the man who is to come and lead us out of darkness?"
8906Ma, have you heard?
8906Miss Slessor,she would say severely to herself,"why do you worry?
8906Now there,she wrote to the Wilkies--"Doth Job serve God for nought?"
8906Shall the Cross or the Crescent be first?
8906To whom do you pray?
8906Well, what is the matter?
8906Well,said the missionary afterwards,"what do you think of her?"
8906Well,she said, eyeing him critically,"what do you want?"
8906What do you think of her?
8906What does it matter?
8906What for?
8906What if they desert us?
8906What is the matter with him?
8906What is the matter?
8906What steps have been taken to prevent witchcraft from killing?
8906What?
8906Where are you?
8906Where is she?
8906Where?
8906Why are you not going to God''s House?
8906Why ca n''t I stay at home with you?
8906Why did you send that fowl, doctor?
8906Why should I find comfort when my child is gone?
8906Why,she asked,"could they not come out here and stay a month or six months doing light work, helping with the children, cheering the staff?
8906Why,she cried,"can not the Church send two ladies there?
8906Why?
8906Would you really bear that for me?
8906You want some one to help you?
8906_ And He said unto them, When I sent you without purse and scrip and shoes lacked you anything_?
8906_ And the people asked Him saying, What shall we do then? 8906 ''How are you, Ma?'' 8906 A firefly? 8906 A friend who noticed that she was somewhat cast down said to her,Why, Mary, what''s the matter?
8906A powerful Sultana sitting in a palace with an army at her command?
8906After enumerating a number of things which she intended to buy for Ikpe house, she said,"Does that seem too prosaic?
8906After the agent had spoken in Efik he turned to her and said,"Have you anything to say to them?"
8906After two hours''weary waiting the reply was,"I am not coming, what should I come for?
8906All that they said in effect when they saw the good box and the white robe was,"Why this waste?"
8906All the people had deserted her, a tornado was brewing-- would she come and help?
8906And again,"I am suffering tortures of fear, and yet why is it that I can not rest in Him?
8906And the house she would build for herself-- would it also be a harbour of refuge?
8906And what did they see?
8906And yet might it not be meant?
8906And yet what was she?
8906Are there no heroes in the making among us?
8906Are they upstairs?"
8906Are you coming soon for holidays?
8906Are you not the hope and strength and counsellor of my life?
8906Are you well?
8906Are you well?
8906But the messenger added,"A big lady said,''Why do n''t you take the twins to Calabar?''"
8906But what can I do with supervision of the school and church and dispensary and household?"
8906Can"Ma"not give her some medicine?
8906Could one weak woman affect the conditions even in a small district of the mighty continent?
8906Could she fill her brother''s place?
8906Could that be Miss Slessor?
8906David came forward,"Mother,"he said,"you wo n''t let us go without prayer?"
8906Did ever a man go to a strange place without his arms?"
8906Does this appear as if He could not do without me?
8906For how could we meet the Goldies, the Edgerleys, the Waddells, the Andersons?
8906Give It to another?"
8906Had ever such a company marched out against the entrenched forces of evil?
8906Had she not cured her grandchild who had bees very ill?
8906Had she not saved many others?
8906Has no calamity happened?"
8906Have n''t the East Indians done nobly?
8906He be god- man bring the rum-- then what for god- man talk so?"
8906He rocks himself and replies,"If your heart was vexed would you go any place?
8906Her belief was thus expressed:"What is money to God?
8906How are you all?
8906How could I leave the bairns in this dreadful land?
8906How then could they behave in such a thoughtless and unbecoming manner?
8906How would she be received on this occasion?
8906If she followed, would they bar the entrance and wreak their vengeance on the others who remained?
8906If you do n''t care for us, who will care for us?"
8906Is God known by magic?"
8906Is God not fit to take care of His own universe and purpose?
8906Is it fair to expect results under such circumstances?"
8906Is n''t it strange?
8906Is that the reason that He made His Son a"Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief"?
8906Is the victory always to the strong?
8906Is there a modern drama in any language to come near to this ancient production?"
8906It was on the question,"What shall I do with Jesus?"
8906It was,"Do you remember this?"
8906Jean often became very wroth, and demanded of the people if"Ma"was not to obtain time to eat, and if they wanted to kill her?
8906MOVING INLAND Ibo or Ibibio-- which was it to be?
8906Might it not be of the nature of a good investment?
8906Might it not do away with the necessity for a furlough in the following year?
8906Might she not be able for better work?
8906Mr. Adamson went on ahead, and at a spot where a few rough steps were cut in the steep bank he saw a boy standing, He called out,"Ma Slessor?"
8906No hearts beating high with the enthusiasm of the Gospel?
8906Of Jael she says,"Not a womanly woman, a sorry story; would God not have showed her a better way if she had asked?"
8906On receiving this the accuser rose:"Am I not to give him any ordeal till Ma comes?
8906One of the questions that the chiefs asked was,"Is this the man you have brought to stay and teach us?"
8906She was glad to see him;"but what,"said she,"is Duke Town coming to when its carpenter travels on the Sabbath Day?"
8906She was invited up, and was not five minutes in Mary''s presence before the latter said,"And what are you doing at home?
8906Should I tell my Mother what to do?
8906Surely God had made a mistake in going to Okoyong in such a guise?
8906The 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?"
8906They 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?
8906To the mother she says,"Do you not find comfort in these words?"
8906Turning to the men she said,"Will the gentlemen kindly go away?"
8906Was it a ruse to get her out of the yard?
8906Was n''t it good of my Father to give me such a treat?
8906Was she not running as fast as her weak and breathless state allowed her?
8906Was she right, after all, in taking so great a risk?
8906Was that not as much an act of worship as singing and praying?
8906Was there, she asked the people about her, a way to Ikorofiong?
8906Were they not presenting their offerings to the Lord?
8906What ails it?
8906What are you going to do?"
8906What can she answer?
8906What does a sign prove?
8906What is hindering you from going to the mission field?"
8906What unseen perils might she not meet?
8906What was that?
8906What would she find at the end?
8906When are you coming to us?"
8906When she received his letter she said to herself,"Shall I go?"
8906When she received the august- looking document asking her to accept the honour, she said to herself,"Now, who has done this?
8906Where are the men?
8906Where are the soldiers of the Cross?
8906Where are they?
8906Who am I, and what is my distinction that I should have it?"
8906Who was to be the first to settle in it-- official, trader, or missionary?
8906Who would mother them in this sink of iniquity?"
8906Why do n''t they use the money on hand for the purpose?
8906Why have you delayed to send us a letter?
8906Why should not the Church do the same when the roads are here?
8906Why should the Queen have good soldiers and not the King of Kings?"
8906Why should we not be like the apostle in his confident outburst of praise and assurance,''For I am persuaded...''?"
8906Would it be possible for her ever to become a missionary?
8906Would the natives be fighting or drinking or dancing?
8906Would you not rather sit at home and nurse your sorrow?"
8906Would, 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?
8906and are you all trying to serve and please Jesus your Lord?
8906and have you been good?
8906exclaimed"Ma,""you can not come within my gate?"
8906they asked,"Am I not here?"
44450And what next--so the listeners ask--"what was the next step made?"
44450And you, O disciple dearly loved, what of you and your brethren?
44450Do ye now believe? 44450 How much is that man worth?"
44450Master, where dwellest thou?
44450What think ye of the Christ?
44450Whom seek ye?
44450''Have I not chosen you twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?''
44450''Will ye also go away?''
44450A man may disrobe; what more can be done?
44450A really earnest, humble consecration to God?
44450Alexander, CÃ ¦ sar, Charlemagne, and myself founded great empires; but upon what did the creations of our genius depend?
44450And Charles Wesley''s melancholy is the most attractive in the world-- Oh, when shall we sweetly move?
44450And do you really think that the world will ever be converted in that way?
44450And he saith,"But who say ye that I am?"
44450And once again, in the haste of the resurrection morning, what was the moment and what was the scene which turned his despair into belief?
44450And so what is faith?
44450And they say, What have we got to do now?
44450And they-- they hardly knew what to say-- only they must see Him, must go with Him; and they stammered out:"Rabbi, where dwellest thou?"
44450And what are the rest of us doing?
44450And what did our Lord Himself say to St. Peter about his fall?
44450And what does all this teach us?
44450And 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?
44450And what next did they learn?
44450And what, oh, what shall I do?"
44450And yet what has it done but make known to us a universe infinitely more wonderful and sublime than men had ever dreamed of?
44450And, then, how shall it be restored?
44450Are we not under the strongest possible obligations to account for Jesus Christ?
44450Are you musing in your heart which of them may be your guide and master, which is the Christ?
44450Are you not of more value than many sparrows?"
44450Are you yet at the beginning, looking wistfully, with hungry eyes, after a hundred gallant human heroes who point you this way and that?
44450But have we gotten rid entirely of the premise on which it rested?
44450But how can we account for the perfection of His humanity, if we deny the reality of His divinity?
44450But is not this far too often accompanied by a revolt from all dogmatic truth?
44450But what does follow?
44450But what is evangelization?
44450But what is it to"believe in Christ?"
44450But, dear friends, am I right in saying that this frame is a Christian frame?
44450Can He whose life they tell be Himself no more than a mere man?...
44450Can 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?
44450Can it be that writings at once so sublime and so simple are the work of men?
44450Can we demand a fairer world than God will make?
44450Can we do that?
44450Can we imagine better than God can do?
44450Can we then wonder at all forms of opposition meeting us?
44450Certainly, but which is the fact, that or this?
44450Christ came to cast fire on earth, and what does He desire but that it be kindled?
44450David fell-- deep as man can fall; but what does he say in that great fifty- first Psalm, in which he confesses his sin?
44450Did the medieval Church never regret the act by which it drove forth the Waldenses into schism?
44450Did you ever hear a satisfactory definition of laughter?
44450Do they wear too dark a hue at times?
44450Do you believe it?
44450Do you believe it?"
44450Do you know what the word"bless"means, what it was derived from?
44450Do you remember the story of the portrait of Dante which is painted upon the walls of Bargello, at Florence?
44450Do you say, What can I do, because the light round me is like unto darkness?
44450Do you say, What is the use of fighting, for where I stand we have barely held our own?
44450Do you think walking up to the cannon''s mouth would have been difficult to that man?
44450Does he possess the third?
44450Does it seem that the perfect life for the individual, and for the race, is too sublime, that it is a distant and unattainable ideal?
44450Does not the Scripture itself go even further?
44450Does not the commercial view of life still prevail in civilized society?
44450Does the difficulty lie in the event or in the method of approaching it?
44450Does the religion of Christ, the absolute and abiding faith, need the defense of concealment, or of sophistical apology, or of lies?
44450Does there not come a time when we feel that the power, as it were, of things has forsaken us?
44450Facts?
44450God made His minister a flame of fire in the dark and cold, else could Christ have conquered?
44450Has He not been working in the saints who have reminded the world of God?
44450Has a man faith in the Lord Jesus Christ who simply does not disbelieve in him?
44450Has it slipt into the water?
44450Has our Church never regretted the day when it looked askance at the work of John Wesley?
44450Has the ax- head gone?
44450Has the splendid hope of Christ been falsified?
44450Have there been no grounds for optimism?
44450Have ye each made this yet sufficiently a matter of prayer, of self- denial, of deep, faithful trusting all to God?
44450Have you any right to expect that it should be converted in that way?
44450Have you ever thought how St. Paul was actually driven to use the awful language of the passion when he described his own life?
44450Have you met your tempter yet?
44450Have 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?
44450Have you never seen it?
44450Have you read the memoir of Brainerd?
44450He claimed to be God, and if His claim be not true, how can he be good?
44450He knows his malady; now how shall he be cured of it?
44450He said,"Was Paul crucified for you?"
44450How came He to be the contemporary of all the ages?
44450How came He to emancipate Himself from the sectarianism and sectionalism of His country and century?
44450How can it be restored?
44450How did such ideas come into the human mind?
44450How do young people begin, most of them?
44450How does the Gethsemane come?
44450How far have you come in this pathway of faith?
44450How have our liberties been secured?
44450How long shall there be this suspense, as that of early dawn ere the sunshine fills the twilight?
44450How much is a man better than a sheep?
44450How shall we account for the height to which that stream rose?
44450How, then, can you explain faith?
44450How, then, will it be received by those into whose hand is placed the responsibility of its guidance?
44450I may not deny that what the gospel says is true, but is that believing?
44450I put then the question with the_ utmost_ directness,"What think ye of Christ?"
44450I think an hour is the longest that anybody could bear it--"Could ye not watch with me one hour?"
44450If that source were simply human, how can we account for the superhuman height which it reached?
44450If 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?
44450If we have no great masters, how shall we hope to have eager and loving disciples?
44450If we leave half the race in ignorance, how shall we hope to lift the other half into the light of truth and love?
44450If you wanted to make a man laugh, would you attempt to define laughter to him?
44450If, then, we accept this view of life, what answer can we give to the question, how much is a man better than a sheep?
44450In the event, or, perhaps, in the mental or moral constitution of the people who contemplate it?
44450Invest it, and then what do you do?
44450Is he a man, in fact, who can make his influence felt among the men of his day?
44450Is he in touch with his time?
44450Is it advancement?
44450Is it conceivable that human error shall prevail against God''s truth?
44450Is it long to wait, hard to fight, difficult to keep up the spirit during the discouragements that beset all missionary life?
44450Is it merely the pursuit of happiness?
44450Is it not rather a book of life, of literature, full of symbols and metaphors and poetry?
44450Is 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?
44450Is it promotion?
44450Is not He the standard of humanity now, and is not He its Redeemer?
44450Is not that conceivable?
44450Is not that possible?
44450Is not theology, like the other sciences, bound to accept facts?
44450Is the Bible itself written with the rigid exactness of a mathematical treatise?
44450Is this wise, and is it well?
44450It appeared so, but was it so?
44450Left?
44450Mark how towers herald the approach to the towns and cities, and ask what they stand there for?
44450My brethren, where do you stand?
44450My brothers, if a few men can honestly say this to us in the future, will it not be better than Greek and Roman fame?
44450My friend, what sort of a life are you living?
44450Nay, Lord, to whom shall we go?
44450Nevertheless, to the unsaved no question is more bewildering than this:"What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
44450Not only cunning casts in clay: Let science prove we are, and then What matters science unto men, At least to me?
44450Now 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?
44450Now, as they journeyed southward through CÃ ¦ sarea Philippi, He asked them,"Who do men say that I am?"
44450Now, 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?
44450O death, where is thy sting?"
44450O loving and divine John, the Evangelist, what thinkest thou of the Christ?
44450Oh, when shall our souls be at rest?
44450Or 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?
44450Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
44450Shall we dread the results of historical research?
44450So soon made happy?
44450Suppose, then, that we come to Him with this question: How much is a man better than a sheep?
44450The fiery moment arrives; do we stand; do we fall?
44450The people who looked at the mob of Jerusalem, or the man who saw the coming generations?
44450There is more of courage and manhood needed for them than for walking up to the cannon''s mouth?
44450This brings us to the matter in hand: What shall I do to be saved?
44450Tho 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?"
44450To die?
44450To send Bibles, to deliver the message to everybody?
44450To suffer?
44450To the jailer of Philippi who, in sudden conviction, was moved to cry,"What shall I do?"
44450To whom can I go?
44450Was he not right?
44450Was it the reaction of detecting the quiet tokens of deliberate purpose there, where all had seemed to him a very chaos of confusion?
44450Was it the sudden sense that struck him of order and seemliness as of a thing premeditated, intended?
44450We 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?
44450Were not the Greek philosophers right in thinking that our ideals are eternal, and are kept with God?
44450Were they then never to rise into the joy of clear and entire belief?
44450What are you going to do with it?
44450What are you going to do with it?
44450What are you going to do with it?
44450What book has been so misunderstood, and misinterpreted, even by honest and enlightened minds, even by theologians themselves?
44450What did He mean by that?
44450What did he mean by that?
44450What did he notice?
44450What does Paul mean when he talks about being justified?
44450What hope is there of genuine progress, in the religious life especially, if we leave her uneducated?
44450What is faith?
44450What is faith?
44450What is love?
44450What is the purpose of life?
44450What is there to fear?
44450What is thy testimony?
44450What is thy testimony?
44450What more have I got left?
44450What other answer can be given by one who judges everything by a money standard?
44450What sayst Thou of Thyself?
44450What shall be done about it?
44450What shall we say of him who opens a haunt of temptation, sets out his snares and deliberately deals out death by the dram?
44450What thinkest thou, O Channing, of Jesus Christ?
44450What thinkest thou, O Herder, illustrious German thinker, broad scholar, and exquisite genius, of Jesus, the Christ?
44450What was it that he saw and felt?
44450What was it that so startled him?
44450What was there in the peasant conditions of His family life to produce the uniqueness of His manhood?
44450When men ask us, Are the doctrines of Christianity dead; are they played out?
44450Whence do all light and all love come?
44450Where did the imagination of the prophets and apostles catch fire?
44450Where do you go to find the origin of the great principle of civil liberty?
44450Where is the spring of the prayers and aspirations of the saints?
44450Which is nearer to the truth, the Christ of the sorrowful way or the Christ at God''s right hand?
44450Who can say?
44450Who is He?
44450Who is right?
44450Who is there that has ever been brave enough to accept such a salutation without a whisper of protest, without a shadow of a scruple?
44450Who is this strange visitant-- so quiet, so silent, so unobserved?
44450Who shall deliver us from this spirit of bitterness?
44450Who shall lead us out of this heavy, fetid air of the lazar- house and the morgue?
44450Who shall separate us from Christ''s love?
44450Who will have it?
44450Who would not court a new- made grave rather than risk the perils of survivorship?
44450Why could that little jet of blood and water never pass out of his sight?
44450Why credible to the one, but incredible to the other?
44450Why need you and I seek to disprove what no man has ever yet proved or will prove?
44450Why not again with Christ as Captain?
44450Why not always, why not everywhere?
44450Why pay so great a price?
44450Why pay so great a price?
44450Why should it haunt him sixty years after, as still his heart wonders over the mysterious witness of the water and the blood?
44450Why?
44450Will He not continue to work till all men come to the stature of perfection?
44450Will it be said to any of you?
44450Will you fail as others failed me?"
44450Yet had prayer no part in the plan of the Incarnation?
44450You remember, in the story of the Garden of Eden, where the tree which represented temptation stood?
44450and he begins to raise the question- the only question he thinks of after that-- What shall I do for them?
44450could, I ask, all these be fruitless and in vain?
44450how much can I get out of this man''s labor?
44450how much has that man made?
44450how much will that man pay for my services?
44450is there anything which a man can fear ten times more than the fire that never shall be quenched?
44450or How shall I become a Christian?
44450why not?
603773. Who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal man?
603778. Who will remember thee when thou art dead; and who will pray for thee?
60377All men naturally desire to know; but what doth knowledge avail without the fear of God?
60377And how often have I found it where I did not expect it?
60377And if thou ask why?
60377And if thou drive him from thee, and lose him, to whom wilt thou fly, and whom then wilt thou seek for thy friend?
60377And now in the midst of these things, what shall I say?
60377And now, dear father, what shall I say?
60377And to him that relishes thee not, what can ever yield any true delight?
60377And unless thou didst command it, who would dare attempt to approach?
60377And what can be more free, than he that desires nothing upon earth?
60377And what need we concern ourselves about questions of philosophy?
60377And what wonder, if he feels no weight, who is carried by the Almighty, and led on by the sovereign guide?
60377And when thou hast run over all things, what profit will it be to thee, if thou hast neglected thyself?
60377And why do such small things go to thy heart; but because thou art yet carnal, and regardest man more than thou oughtest?
60377Are not all painful labours to be endured for everlasting life?
60377Behold_ my_ God,_ and my All_, What would I have more, and what can I desire more happy?
60377But if thou dost not overcome things that are small and light: when wilt thou overcome greater difficulties?
60377But in what manner?
60377But what art thou to those that love thee?
60377But what return shall I make to the Lord for this grace, and for so extraordinary a charity?
60377But whence is this to me, that thou shouldst come to me?
60377But where is this devotion?
60377But who am I, O Lord, that I should presume to come to thee?
60377But why are we so willing to talk and discourse with one another: since we seldom return to silence without prejudice to our conscience?
60377But why did I not provide better for myself, miserable wretch as I am?
60377Can it be much to serve thee, whom the whole creation is bound to serve?
60377Christ had adversaries and backbiters, and wouldst thou have all to be thy friends and benefactors?
60377Christ would suffer and be despised, and dost thou dare to complain of any one?
60377Could it even so much as pluck one hair away from thee?
60377Dost thou think to escape that which no mortal could ever avoid?
60377Dost thou think to have always spiritual consolations when thou pleasest?
60377For when the disciples asked,_ Who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?_( Matthew xviii.)
60377For who is he that approaching humbly to the Fountain of Sweetness, does not carry away with him some little sweetness?
60377For who is there amongst worldly people, that would not willingly receive comfort and spiritual joy, if he could always have it?
60377For who shall be able to find the man that is truly poor in spirit, and naked of all things created?
60377How 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?
60377How dare such a sinner appear before thee?
60377How do so many other religious do, who live under strict monastic discipline?
60377How often have I not found faith there, where I thought I might depend upon it?
60377How profitable indeed hath grace been kept with silence in this frail life, which is all but a temptation and a warfare?
60377How shall I break through them?
60377How shall I dare to approach, who am conscious to myself of no good, on which I can presume?
60377How shall I pass without hurt?
60377How short a time do I spend when I prepare myself to communicate?
60377How sweetly and graciously dost thou order all things in favour of thy elect, to whom thou offerest thyself to be received in the sacrament?
60377If a little suffering now makes thee so impatient, what will hell fire do hereafter?
60377If all were perfect: what then should we have to suffer from others for God''s sake?
60377If in the angels thou hast found sin, and hast not spared them, what will become of me?
60377If thou art not now careful for thyself, who will be careful for thee hereafter?
60377If thou art not prepared to- day, how wilt thou be to- morrow?
60377If thou canst not make thyself such a one as thou wouldst: how canst thou expect to have another according to thy liking?
60377If thou couldst see any thing at once before thee, what would it be but a vain sight?
60377If thou dost not understand nor comprehend those things that are under thee, how shouldst thou comprehend those things that are above thee?
60377If thou hadst not gone before and instructed us, who would have cared to have followed?
60377If thou seekest rest in this life, how then wilt thou come to rest everlasting?
60377If thou shalt say, thou art not able to suffer so much, how then wilt thou endure the fire of purgatory?
60377If thou wilt suffer no opposition, how wilt thou be a friend of Christ?
60377If 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?
60377In what then, O Lord?
60377Is any thing difficult to me?
60377Is it not in me?
60377Is it not thou, my Lord God, whose mercies are without number?
60377Is not this a greater damage than if thou wert to lose the whole world?
60377Lord what cause have I to complain if thou forsake me?
60377Lord, how often shall I resign myself; and in what things shall I leave myself?
60377Lord, what is my confidence which I have in this life?
60377Lord?
60377Now if he that makes a strong resolution often fails: what will he do who seldom or but weakly resolves?
60377O God, the invisible Maker of the world, how wonderfully dost thou deal with us?
60377O Lord, to what are we come?
60377O fountain of everlasting_ love_, what shall I say of thee?
60377O 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?
60377O most wretched and foolish sinner, what answer wilt thou make to God, who knows all thy evils?
60377O when shall I be with thee in thy kingdom, which thou hast prepared for thy Beloved from all eternity?
60377O, my God, how much did they endeavour to do to please thee?
60377Or shall I be like one that promises and does not perform?
60377Or what can I justly alledge, if thou refuse to grant my petition?
60377Or who, standing by a great fire, does not receive from it some little heat?
60377Son, stand firm, and trust in me; for what are words but words?
60377Stars have fallen from heaven, and I that am but dust, how can I presume?
60377Suppose it to be so, that they have all they desire: how long dost thou think this will last?
60377Tell me now where are all those great doctors, with whom thou wast well acquainted, whilst they were living, and flourished in learning?
60377The whole life of Christ was a cross, and a martyrdom: and dost thou seek rest and joy?
60377Thou art not to answer for others, but must give an account for thyself; why therefore dost thou meddle with them?
60377To how many hath it been hurtful to have their virtue known, and over- hastily praised?
60377To whom shall I give credit, O Lord?
60377To- morrow is an uncertain day; and how dost thou know that thou shalt be alive to- morrow?
60377Unless thou, O Lord, didst say it, who could believe it to be true?
60377What answer canst thou make, O filthy sinner, to those that reproach thee, thou that hast so often offended God, and many times deserved hell?
60377What are all temporal things, but deceit?
60377What are these things, O Lord?
60377What benefit is it to live long, when we advance so little?
60377What can I do for my sins, but humbly confess them, and lament them, and incessantly implore thy mercy for them?
60377What can any one do against thee, by his words or injuries?
60377What can be more at rest than a simple eye[ that aims at nothing but God]?
60377What can the world profit thee without Jesus?
60377What canst thou see any where which can continue long under the sun?
60377What canst thou see elsewhere which thou seest not here?
60377What do I require more of thee, than that thou endeavour to resign thyself entirely to me?
60377What does the solicitude about future accidents bring thee but only sorrow upon sorrow?
60377What doth it avail thee, to discourse profoundly of the Trinity: if thou be void of humility, and consequently displeasing to the Trinity?
60377What doth it avail to delay thy confession for a long time, or to put off the holy communion?
60377What great thing is it, if thou be cheerful and devout when grace comes?
60377What hast thou, vain man, to complain of?
60377What hath man deserved, that thou shouldst give him thy grace?
60377What hath thy servant but what he hath received from thee, and this without any merit on his side?
60377What have I deserved for my sins but hell and everlasting fire?
60377What have I done, O Lord, that thou shouldst impart any heavenly comfort to me?
60377What have I then to glory in?
60377What is all flesh in thy sight?
60377What is it thou sayest, my Son?
60377What is this or that to thee?
60377What means this most loving condescension, and so friendly an invitation?
60377What other things shall that fire feed on but thy sins?
60377What return shall I make to thee for this grace?
60377What saint was there ever in the world without his cross and affliction?
60377What shall I do in my so great tribulations and anguishes, didst thou not encourage me with thy holy words?
60377What shall I give thee for all these thousands of favours?
60377What shall I say, who am guilty, and full of all confusion?
60377What 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?
60377What then shall I do, O my God, my helper, my counsellor in necessities?
60377What to those that serve thee with their whole heart?
60377What was the reason why some of the saints were so perfect and contemplative?
60377What will become of us yet in the end: who grow lukewarm so very soon?
60377When shall I be set at liberty from the wretched slavery of sin?
60377When shall I be without any impediment in true liberty, without any trouble of mind or body?
60377When shall I contemplate the glory of thy kingdom?
60377When 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?
60377When shall I to the full rejoice in thee?
60377When wilt thou be_ all in all_ to me?
60377When, O Lord, shall I be so happy as to think of thee alone?
60377Where art thou, when thou art not present to thyself?
60377Where is this so plentiful shedding of holy tears?
60377Where is thy faith?
60377Where is true peace, and true glory?
60377Where shall we find a man that is willing to serve God_ gratis?_ 4.
60377Where then can there be any lurking hole for glorying in myself?
60377Where was it ever well with me without thee?
60377Who am I, that thou shouldst give me thyself?
60377Who can foresee all things, or who is able to provide against all future evils?
60377Who is a greater hinderance and trouble to thee, than thine own unmortified affection of heart?
60377Who is so wise as to be able fully to know all things?
60377Who is there that has all things according to his will?
60377Who is there that is most at ease?
60377Who is there that serves and obeys me in all things, with that great care, with which the world and its lords are served?
60377Why also have I so easily given credit to others?
60377Why art thou troubled because things do not succeed with thee according to thy will and desire?
60377Why dost thou pine away with vain grief?
60377Why dost thou stand looking about thee here, since this is not thy resting place?
60377Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labour?
60377Why then am I not more inflamed, considering thy venerable presence?
60377Why then art thou afraid to take up thy cross, which leads to a kingdom?
60377Why wilt thou put off thy resolution from day to day?
60377Why wilt thou see what thou must not have?
60377Why wouldst thou prefer thyself to any one, since there are many more learned and skilful in the law than thyself?
60377Why, O Lord?
60377Wouldst 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.
60377and how dost thou vouchsafe to come to a sinner?
60377and what will all things created avail thee, if thou be forsaken by the Creator?
60377how great confidence shall he have at the hour of his death, who is not detained by an affection to any thing in the world?
60377how little is their love of God, how weak is their devotion who so easily put by the sacred communion?
60377how little ought I to esteem whatever good I may seem to have?
60377how many would have staid afar off, and a great way behind, if they had not before their eyes thy excellent example?
60377or what is my greatest comfort amongst all things that appear under heaven?
60377or when could it be ill with me when thou wast present?
60377or why do I desire to be esteemed?
60377shall the clay glory against him that formed it?
60377to whom but thee?
60377what can I do, and whither shall I go without thee?
60377what do I suffer interiorly, whilst in my mind I consider heavenly things, and presently a crowd of carnal thoughts offers to interrupt my prayer?
60377what is our life if compared to theirs?
60377when will there be an end of these evils?
60377where any confidence in any conceit of my own virtue?
60377why dost thou think to live long, when thou art not sure of one day?
60377why 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?
44411Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend, On whom our hopes of heaven depend?
44411Has the rain a father? 44411 If God be for us, who can be against us?"
44411Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you?
44411Knowest 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?
44411My 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?
44411Which,said He,"is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth?
44411),"Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples?"
44411A 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?"
44411After this, will you be indignant that you do not comprehend every thing in the gospel?
44411And 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?
44411And does he now submit, because God has given him assurance of personal safety?
44411And for what can you be held responsible, if not for this?
44411And is He not wise enough to be intrusted with the government of the world?
44411And is it not quite clear that to such persons God can not be said to be their God?
44411And is there a mortal, who, from this great system of blest government, would wish this earth to be an exception?
44411And need we ask, is not the Christian Church itself, in its own institution and constitution, virtually and essentially a missionary institution?
44411And shall we not purchase each increase of knowledge with an increase of ignorance?
44411And the hoar- frost of heaven, who has begotten it?
44411And to what does all this amount?
44411And were not all the angels of heaven placed under Him as His missionaries, sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation?
44411And were not the keys of the kingdom first given to Peter to open, to announce it?
44411And what do I hear?
44411And what is an angel but a messenger, a missionary?
44411And what more could it do, were it true?
44411And what will become of those who, unable to frustrate His counsels, murmur and rebel against His providence?
44411And why do we not submit cheerfully to a privation which, after all, is not one?
44411And why?
44411Are His subjects here partakers of His kingly bounty?
44411Are any reluctant to be entirely in the hands of God?
44411Are not all His attributes equally employed?
44411Are there not many who live, to all appearance, as unconscious of His existence, as we fancy the inferior animals to be?
44411Are there not many who never think of God or care about His service?
44411Are they afraid to trust Him to dispose of soul and body, for time and eternity?
44411Are you afraid of the reproach of Christ?
44411Are 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?
44411Are you simply taking your own pleasure in your mode of living, or do you find your pleasure in submitting yourself to God''s pleasure?
44411Are you the less saved?
44411As He beheld them approaching, did He quietly take to His boat, and leave them to go home disappointed?
44411Before they are anointed?
44411But did these things apply merely to the believers to whom St. Peter originally wrote?
44411But if there be a consistency in the errors, in like manner, is there a consistency in the truths which are opposite to them?
44411But if we once attempted to go further, where should we stop?
44411But may it not be supplanted by the love of that which is more worthy than itself?
44411But 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?"
44411But what did they do?
44411But what do we besides praying for it?
44411But when, since the days of the blind master of English song, hath any poured forth a lay worthy of the Christian theme?
44411But who would not hail such a Son of David?
44411Can He only watch, and mend, and rectify, the lawless wanderings of mind?
44411Can He wield the elements, and control, at His pleasure, every work of His hands, but just the mind of man?
44411Can he bring forth and commission the twelve signs of the Zodiac, or bind Arcturus with his seven sons?
44411Can mortal man bind the bands of the Seven Stars, or loose the cords of Orion?
44411Can such a person be in earnest, or have one sincere desire in his heart to effect such an object or purpose?
44411Can there be a better government?
44411Can we improve upon their institutions and enactments?
44411Canst thou command the lightnings, so that they may say to thee, Here we are?
44411Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
44411Could the combined universe, without God, change the depraved affections of men?
44411Did He not declare that His kingdom"is not of this world"?
44411Did He not say that He was going hence, or leaving this world, to receive or obtain a kingdom?
44411Did He plead His own convenience, or His need of repose, as any reason for not attending to the pressing necessities of His fellow men?
44411Did he, then, misapprehend the divine character?
44411Did not our Savior Himself, in person, decline the honors of a worldly or temporal prince?
44411Did not the Savior teach His personal pupils, or disciples, to pray,"Thy kingdom"--more truthfully,"Thy reign-- come"?
44411Did our Lord inform the multitude that this day was set apart for their own refreshment and improvement, and that they could not be interrupted?
44411Did then God send you, above all other men, into the world to be idle in spiritual matters?
44411Do kings reign before they are crowned?
44411Do we work for it?
44411Do you ask what this deep principle was?
44411Do you injure no one?
44411Does He exercise His authority here and rule His happy subjects by the law, the perfect law of love?
44411Does He make these vile bodies His residence here?
44411Does He not govern for the same end, and will not His government below conspire to promote the same joyful end as His government above?
44411Does He superintend a world of madmen, full of darkness and disorder, cheered and blest by no internal pervading government of His own?
44411Does any king''s reign or kingdom commence with his birth?
44411Does the Lord''s Prayer breathe a feverish enthusiasm?
44411Has Christ been seen upon the cross, beckoning the sinner to come to Him?
44411Has God determined how to dispose of my soul?
44411Has He filled the earth with untamed and untamable spirits, whose wickedness and rebellion He can merely mitigate, but can not control?
44411Has Omnipotence formed minds, which, the moment they are made, escape from His hands, and defy the control of their Maker?
44411Has a vision of angels appeared, to announce that God is reconciled?
44411Has heaven been thrown open to his admiring eyes?
44411Has some sudden light burst upon him, in token of forgiveness?
44411Has 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?
44411Has the Almighty erected a moral kingdom which He can not govern without destroying its moral nature?
44411Has the divine character changed?
44411Has your religion any difficulty in it, or is it in all respects easy to you?
44411Have enrapturing sounds of music stolen upon the ear, to entrance the soul?
44411Have we none among you that preach against us in your lives?
44411Have you not already felt, my brethren, the application to which I would bring you?
44411How can He dispose of me according to His eternal purpose and I be free?
44411How can you, thus unimpassioned, hold communion with themes in which everything awful, vital, and endearing meet together?
44411How dangerous a thing is it, for example, for a man to become accustomed to sights of cruelty?
44411How is it in the natural world?
44411How should it be otherwise in religion, when it is thus in nature itself?
44411I had a wife, a helpmeet for me; but where is she?
44411If He can, consistently with freedom, govern angels, and devils, and nations, how can He govern individuals?
44411If a claim so unjust could be admitted, where, I ask you, would be the limit of your demands?
44411If such were the occupations of the Son of God, can we do more wisely than to imitate His example?
44411If that"foolishness"we preach produces effects like these, is it not natural to conclude that it is truth itself?
44411If we began to repress our anger, why not also repress vainglory?
44411If, 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?
44411In a word, is your religion a work?
44411In the highest possible sense of the terms; but who can tell what that highest possible sense of the terms is?
44411In this dilemma, what was to be done?
44411Is He not the same God below as above?
44411Is it because we understand them?
44411Is it ever on the side of God and duty?
44411Is it not enough for us to know the truths that save?
44411Is it not his business, and nothing else, to act his part well?
44411Is it your mission only to find pleasure in this world, in which you are but as pilgrims and sojourners?
44411Is that a misfortune?
44411Is there no object in it?
44411Is your example harmless?
44411It is a great thing to keep in God''s favor; what indeed can we desire more?
44411It is also true, you may ask, that the religious spirit propagates itself or tends to propagate itself in the same way?
44411It is this:"Why were you sent into the world?"
44411May I ask your attention a few moments more?
44411May we not from this incident derive a lesson of practical instruction?
44411My brethren, ought this so to be?
44411My 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?
44411Need I say that comprehension incomparably transcends apprehension?
44411Need we inquire into the meaning of a celestial title given to the tenantries of the heaven of heavens?
44411Now, how stands the case with Jesus?
44411Of the poets which charm the world''s ear, who is he that inditeth a song unto his God?
44411Of what use would it be to know those it conceals from us?
44411Of what use, then, would it be to know those which have not the slightest bearing on our salvation?
44411Oh, my brethren, is it not a shocking thought, but who can deny its truth?
44411Oh, this curious restless, clamorous, panting being, which we call life!--and is there to be no end to all this?
44411Or has a revelation of new truth been granted?
44411Or 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?
44411Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven upon the thirsty fields?"
44411Or who has stretched the line upon it?
44411Rather do you not see that this is a splendid proof of its truth?
44411Shall I say more?
44411Shall not mysteries multiply with discoveries?
44411Still less with his death?
44411Tell a man to be holy-- and how can he compass such a performance, when his fellowship with holiness is a fellowship of despair?
44411The solicitude, therefore, is not merely, What will become of me?
44411They were but little children, and they were by themselves, and they spontaneously asked themselves, or rather God spake in them,"Why am I here?
44411To purchase food in the surrounding towns and villages would be difficult; but even were this possible, whence could the necessary funds be provided?
44411Upon what, in fact, does this argument rest?
44411Was all this glory visible before?
44411Was ever love like this?
44411Was he not the wisest of men, the most potent and the richest of kings, that ever lived?
44411Was it ever known-- did any ever complain-- was it ever conceived-- that God was a tyrant, in heaven?
44411We do not grow Christians by the same culture by which we grow men, otherwise what need of divine revelation, and divine assistance?
44411Well, 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?
44411What am I to do here?"
44411What are the foundations thereof?
44411What can you do for us?"
44411What in reference to us is the object of the gospel?
44411What is religion?
44411What is the occasion of this change?
44411What man, valuing the honor of his soul, would not shrink from yielding himself to such an influence?
44411What matter to me whether the Pope, or any work of any mind, be exalted to the quality of God?
44411What shall he do?
44411What was the national spirit of France, for example, at a certain time, but a spirit of infidelity?
44411What were its antecedents?
44411What will Babel do for us then?
44411What will that man do in heaven, who is afraid and reluctant to commit to God the government of the earth?
44411What, if he did but gaze at himself and his dress?
44411What, then, has produced this alteration?
44411Whence now, I ask, came the conception of this character?
44411Where can we find the traces of it in His history?
44411Where is nature gone when she is not moved with the tender mercy of Christ?
44411Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
44411Whither shall he flee?
44411Who can number the clouds in wisdom?
44411Who feels the awful weight there is in the least iota that hath dropped from the lips of God?
44411Who feels the sublime dignity there is in a saying, fresh descended from the porch of heaven?
44411Who feels the swelling tide of gratitude within his breast, for redemption and salvation, instead of flat despair and everlasting retribution?
44411Who feels the thrilling fear or trembling hope there is in words whereon the destinies of himself do hang?
44411Who has begotten the drops of the dew?
44411Who has fixt the measure thereof?
44411Who has laid the corner- stone thereof when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
44411Who hath required this at their hands?
44411Who shall supply the deficiencies of His skill?
44411Who was the mother of the ice?
44411Who, then, shall be His counsellor?
44411Whose soul would not sicken at such a sight?
44411Why are they toiling?
44411Why do we admit these various facts?
44411Why is not curiosity, curiosity ever hungry, on edge to know the doings and intentions of Jehovah, King of Kings?
44411Why is not interest, interest ever awake, on tip- toe to hear the future destiny of itself?
44411Why not also guard against niggardliness?
44411Why not also keep from falsehood, from gossiping, from idling, from excess in eating?
44411Why 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?
44411Why not, in fine, reproach Him for having caused the darkness of night to succeed the brightness of day invariably on the earth?
44411Why, then, should we question the justice of His government on earth?
44411Why?
44411Will any pretend that the Almighty can not maintain a moral government on earth, if He governs according to His own pleasure?
44411Will any say it had its origin in imposture; that it was a fabrication of a deceiver?
44411Will it rescue our souls from the purgatory or the hell to which it sends them?
44411Will they aim at the honor implied in these words,"Ye are my witnesses?"
44411Will they have the adoption and the glory?
44411Will ye indeed be sons?
44411With each new day shall we not see associated a new night?
44411Would he leave its peopled dwelling places, and become a solitary wanderer through the fields of nonentity?
44411Would it not be better for us, if we cultivated more assiduously this habit of intimate intercourse with the Savior?
44411Would not he cling to the regions of sense, and of life, and of society?
44411Would not his neighbors regard him as a monomaniac or a simpleton?
44411Would sinful mortals change their own hearts?
44411and yet do not the things which He says"?
44411but, What, O Lord, will become of Thy glory, and the glory of Thy kingdom?
44411for what are they living?
44411how came I here?
44411how will you draw the line for us?
44411that with yonder sacred throng, we at His feet may fall"?
44411what, if he secreted, or turned to his own use, what was valuable in it?
44411who brought me here?
44411who would not desire to be swayed by such a Prince of Peace?
44411why are they scheming?
19830Am I? 19830 And shall I die to- day?"
19830And will I be with Jesus to- night, father?
19830Are you glad that your child''s dead?
19830Are you sure of that?
19830But are you saved?
19830But are you willing to take the risk till next spring?
19830But what about the water?
19830But you are not afraid to die?
19830But, doctor,said the agonized father,"can you do nothing to bring him to consciousness, even for a moment?"
19830But,replied the treasurer,"do you understand its amount?"
19830Ca n''t you turn your head around?
19830Can not what?
19830Can you read?
19830Can you tell what is on that sign- post?
19830Did n''t I tell you never to pray again? 19830 Did n''t I write to you about him?"
19830Do n''t you see I am getting quite well?
19830Do you know, my boy, that you are dying?
19830Do 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?"
19830Do you remember the young man who answered you so roughly the other night?
19830Do you see that beautiful meadow?
19830Do you think, then, I would tell you a falsehood?
19830Do? 19830 Do?
19830Got a home there?
19830Have you lost any property? 19830 Have you lost any reputation in your country?"
19830Have you seen anything of my son?
19830Hear what?
19830How did it happen?
19830How did they like him?
19830How did you come here?
19830How do you know this is true?
19830How is it with you here?
19830How is it with you, my friend?
19830How is it with you?''
19830I know better; have you lost any relations?
19830I think you said you were a friend?
19830I 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?"
19830I wonder what''s the matter?
19830If I say I trust Him, will He save me?
19830Is that acceptable?
19830Is that so? 19830 Is there no hope for me?"
19830My son, do you know you are dying?
19830Next day?
19830Next day?
19830No, am I?
19830Now, what do you do with the passages bearing upon the death?
19830O my darling child,sobbed the woman,"are you never to see the mother that gave you birth?
19830Oh, papa, will you take me to see the bears in Lincoln Park?
19830Please, sir, tell me why you do n''t love Jesus?
19830Sick?
19830The 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?
19830Therefore, 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?
19830Turn ye, turn ye, for why will ye die?
19830Was that Governor Pollock? 19830 Well, friend, how is it with you?"
19830Well, then, I shall be with Jesus to- night, wo n''t I, father?
19830Well, what do you preach?
19830Well, why do n''t you go to school?
19830Well,said the boy,"you never prayed for me, father; wo n''t you pray for my lost soul now?"
19830What did you say?
19830What else?
19830What for?
19830What have you got in heaven?
19830What is an infidel?
19830What is the matter?
19830What is the trouble?
19830What would you do, then?
19830What''s the matter?
19830What''s the trouble?
19830What, do you think my boy will never see?
19830What,said he,"you are the man that has been preaching to us, ai n''t you?"
19830What?
19830When once off the old wreck and safe in the life- boat, what remained for you to do?
19830When the life- boat came to you,said a friend,"did you expect it had brought some tools to repair your old ship?"
19830Where are you going?
19830Where art thou?
19830Where?
19830Who is it?
19830Who is that man?
19830Who is that young man?
19830Who said it?
19830Who was that man?
19830Who''s that?
19830Who?
19830Who?
19830Why ca n''t you take him to Christ? 19830 Why not?"
19830Why not?
19830Why not?
19830Why not?
19830Why, 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?"
19830Why, papa? 19830 Why, what have you been doing?"
19830Why,said I,"did you send your daughter out of the room before you said this?"
19830Why,said I,"how''s that?"
19830Why,she says,"why he speaks as he did when I first married him; I wonder if he has got well?"
19830Will you get down with me and pray?
19830Will you tell my mother and father that I died a Christian?
19830Wo n''t the grapes be acceptable, papa?
19830Wo n''t you let me pray for you to come to Jesus?
19830Yes,he said,"I was making a plea for India, and I did n''t quite finish my speech, did I?"
19830You Captain of the Guard?
19830You''re mistaken; why do you think that?
19830You?
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?"
19830A second time she put the question,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
19830After the Sermon I went to the pew and said,"My friend, are you a Christian?"
19830After the child left the room, I said,"What is the matter?"
19830All men in his place of business seemed to say,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
19830All the letters seemed to read,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
19830An Englishman asked me some time ago,"Do you know much about Job?"
19830And I ask you,"Will you not be reconciled?"
19830And I said,"Suppose we write upon that board some of the earthly treasures?
19830And 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?
19830And 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?
19830And he said,"Who can?"
19830Are you married?
19830Ask your heart,"Is this the work of the devil?"
19830Before 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?"
19830But He asked,"Whom do you say that I am?"
19830But what did that father do?
19830But what is that to you?
19830But what was the next thing that took place?
19830But when he laid his head on the pillow that voice kept whispering,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
19830By and by the pilot was heard to say,"Do you see the lower lights?"
19830Can not you trust God as a friend?"
19830Can 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?
19830Could there have been any better news?
19830Dear friends, the harvest is passing; the summer will soon be ended; wo n''t you let Him redeem you?
19830Did he say,"Let the boy go"?
19830Did she wait until she sent him to be washed before she rushed and took him in her arms?
19830Did that father say,"Let him go"?
19830Did 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?
19830Do I hear another bid?
19830Do n''t that settle the question?
19830Do n''t you believe it?
19830Do n''t you believe you have got everlasting life?
19830Do n''t you remember something like that happening to you?
19830Do n''t you think she will be known there as a mother that loved her child?
19830Do n''t you think you had better give up?
19830Do you believe He will not give men power to accept this salvation as a gift?
19830Do you believe He would tell them to preach it to people without giving people the power to accept it?
19830Do you believe she was not willing to forgive him?
19830Do 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?
19830Do you hear another bid?
19830Do you really think I am dying?"
19830Do you think I argued with him?
19830Do you think she leaped into that boat and left her boy to die?
19830Do you think she was likely to keep him long standing there?
19830Do you think she would be a stranger in the Lord''s world?
19830Do you think that these people, too corrupt for earth, would go there?
19830Do you think, sir, I have not been seeking Christ?"
19830Do you understand all about Algebra, Geometry; Hebrew, Latin, and Greek?"
19830Everybody was waiting for his neighbor to say:''Are we, then, doomed to die?''
19830Father, where is your boy to- night?
19830Finally I said:"Is there anyone against whom you have bitter feelings?"
19830God has provided an ark for us, and the question is: Are you inside or outside this ark?
19830Had an angel dropped down and canceled the debt?
19830Have n''t you passed through that experience?
19830Have you felt the Saviour near?
19830Have you felt the spirit''s power?
19830Have you got a desire to be saved, have you got a desire to be present at the marriage supper?
19830Have you learned this sweetest lesson of heaven on earth, to know and hold communion with your God?
19830Have you on the Lord believed?
19830He caught the boy with a push and said,"Did n''t I tell you never to pray again?
19830He 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?"
19830He 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?"
19830He rose to go, and the text came upon his ears again,"Where art thou?"
19830He said to the angel,"What is this stone left out for?"
19830He said:"Do you remember the man you met about three months ago at the lamp- post, and how he cursed you?
19830He saw upon the desk the column of debts, and when he came to the bottom saw the question:"Who''s to pay them?"
19830He stopped me and said,"Is that there?"
19830He wanted to know if there was hope for him in the eleventh hour?
19830He 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?"
19830He went to the mad- house where his mother was, and went up to her and said,"Mother, mother, do n''t you know me?
19830He would describe his boy, and say,"If you ever hear of him or see him, will you not write to me?"
19830Her faith began to waver, and she said,"Will I have to give him up at last?
19830His 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?"
19830How are you going to rejoice if your names are not written there?
19830How will that do?"
19830How will that sound in the judgment?
19830How, then, shall ye escape if ye neglect so great salvation?
19830I ask you in all candor what are you going to do with this assurance if we do n''t preach it?
19830I asked:"Now what if I should come to you and cast out insinuations against her?"
19830I asked;"does your mother know where you are?"
19830I 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?"
19830I finished the sermon upon"What shall I do with Jesus?"
19830I said to a man once,"Have you got a wife?"
19830I said to the Secretary of the Young Men''s Christian Association who got up the meeting,"Who are these men?"
19830I say that book is a lie, how can it be one side when it is a lie?
19830I say,"Where is the chapter and verse where it says I can be saved?"
19830I thought you did n''t believe in it?"
19830I took him aside and said,"Now you are going to become a Christian-- you will come out for the Lord now?"
19830I went along to the next cell"How is it with you?"
19830I went forward, and said:"Are you a Christian?"
19830I went to him and said:"My little boy, what is your trouble?"
19830I went up to him at the close of the meeting and said:"How is it with you, my friend?"
19830I will pray to God to give us a little house, and wo n''t He?"
19830If he has, I ask him: Is not the way of the transgressor hard?
19830If one man can liberate forty millions, has not God got the power to liberate every captive?
19830If you do not pity him and love him when I am dead and gone, who will?"
19830If you stop to ask yourself why you do n''t believe in Christ, is there really any reason?
19830Is n''t an unreasonable thing to hold out?
19830Is there a man in this assemblage who will receive His testimony and set his seal that God is true?
19830Is there any other one?
19830Is there anyone here who bids for it?
19830Is there anyone here, who, although he is poor, can find no reason to praise God?
19830Is there no one who will say,"By the grace of God I will accept the invitation now"?
19830Is there one who will put his name to it?
19830Is this death?
19830It is all dark, and how can we be sure?"
19830Lady Ann Erskine, you have heard the two bidders for your soul, which will you accept?
19830Mary, did you ever hear of Him?
19830My friends, his"rock is not as our rock"Why did he send his daughter out of the room if he believed what he said?
19830My friends, what are you going to do with Him to- night?
19830Now will you not love Him?
19830Now wo n''t you gratify your old father by staying at home with him?"
19830Now, why do n''t you take that road and go there?"
19830O Sheriff, why did n''t you tell me who it was?
19830Oh, my friends, do n''t you hear Jesus Christ crying to you to- night?
19830Oh, my friends, how many of us act like this physician?
19830Oh, my friends, wo n''t you trust Him?
19830One day He said,"Whom do men say that I am?"
19830One 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?
19830One of the young men said to the old darkey driver,"Samba, how old are you?"
19830Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles?
19830Poor lost soul, which will you have?
19830Said I,"Did you ever know anybody to be saved by that kind of thing, did you ever convert anybody by them?"
19830Satan, Satan, what will you give?
19830Says she,"''Do you think I am not in earnest?
19830She said to her footman when she saw Rowland Hill in the midst of the people,"Why, who is that man?"
19830She said to me,"Will you talk to my boys?"
19830She took him by the hand and led him into the Sabbath- school"Can you give me a place to teach this little boy?"
19830She 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?"
19830She went into the room and the child asked her:"What are those clouds and mountains that I see so dark?"
19830She went up to him and said,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
19830So he went to the little fellow and said,"''Now, Sammy, are you not going to ask your mother''s forgiveness?"
19830So she looks out and asks:"John, is that you?"
19830So the father went to him and said,"Why, Sammy, why do n''t you ask your mother''s forgiveness?"
19830So they met in the middle of the room, both saying at once:"Will you forgive me?"
19830Some skeptic might ask,"What is the philosophy of it?"
19830Still there''s more to follow; Does His blessed presence, cheer?
19830Still there''s more to follow; Falling like the gentle shower?
19830Still there''s more to follow; Of His grace have you received?
19830Suppose Mr. Moody had come to you and asked you if you were converted, what would you have told him?"
19830Suppose a man asked me if my name was Moody, and I said,"Well, I hope so,"would n''t it sound rather strange?
19830Suppose they had not believed it?
19830Suppose we should write out here to- night this excuse, how would it sound?
19830Tell me, is there any hope for me?"
19830The Commissioner turned to the officer of the prison and inquired:"Are all the convicts here?"
19830The Lord Jesus Christ, what will You give for this soul?
19830The barrister asked,"What is the trouble?"
19830The boy was touched, and what was the result?
19830The father put his hands to his face and great tears rolled down his cheeks, as he said,"Can you take me to him?"
19830The father stood for a minute looking at the Christian, and then asked:"Is Joseph sick?"
19830The 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?"
19830The father went to his business, and when he came home at noon he said to his wife:"Has Sammy asked your forgiveness?"
19830The father went to his business, and when he came home he said to his wife,"Has Sammy asked your forgiveness?"
19830The first policeman he met he asked eagerly,"Have you seen my boy?"
19830The merchant listened quietly to him, and then asked him,"How long have you known of these things?"
19830The mother took her boy to her bosom and cried,"Oh, my boy,''''Who will take care of you when I am gone?
19830The next day he called upon me-- he was a merchant in that city-- and said:"Do you remember me?"
19830The question with us is, will we accept salvation-- will you believe?
19830The total completely disheartened him; and he just put at the bottom of his figures,"Who is to pay this"?
19830Then I pay attention; I say,"To me?"
19830Then 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?"
19830Then she waited, as if for an answer, and then added,"Wo n''t you, please, God?"
19830There 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?"
19830They were asked,"Where do you go to church?"
19830Was it not a glorious thing that she did not get discouraged because she had but one Sunday- school scholar?
19830Was n''t that good news to them?
19830We could not talk of religion, for the first word brought forth a hundred exclamations,''Are we sinking?''
19830We have passed the lower lights; and have lost our chance of getting into the harbor;"What was to be done?
19830Well, shall we speak contemptuously of such a Saviour?
19830What a contrast is the other father?
19830What business are you in?"
19830What can geologists tell you of the Rock of Ages, or mere astronomers about the Bright Morning Star?
19830What could he do?
19830What could the mother say?
19830What did he care about that?
19830What did it mean?
19830What did the young convert here?
19830What does he do?
19830What does the poor fugitive do?
19830What has made England but the open Bible?
19830What have these infidels to give you in its place?
19830What is the loss of a child to the loss of a soul?
19830What is troubling you?
19830What kind of feeling have you got?
19830What will you do if you remain here?
19830What would lying elders and false deacons be to him?
19830What would you say of such a mother as that?
19830What would you say?
19830When I got back I asked my mother,"Is Mr. L-- living in such a place?"
19830When I got home-- I remember it was on Saturday morning-- I said to my wife:"Did that young man preach at the meetings?"
19830When he awoke, his first thought was,"Where is my child?"
19830When he got through, my friend asked''him,"Well, what have you got up yonder?"
19830When he tried to write his pen seemed to shape the words,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
19830When he was stripped and scourged by his persecutors you might have gone and asked him:"Well, Paul, what are you going to do now?"
19830When inside he listened to the singing and heard the text,"Where art thou?"
19830When my friend came back I said:"Have n''t you any children?"
19830When the frontiersmen see what is coming, what do they do to escape?
19830When the lady got back the colored woman came to her and said,"Now, is I free or ben''t I not?
19830When the meeting was over I went to him and asked,"Have you ever spoken to your mother or tried to pray with her?"
19830When these infidels are in trouble why do not they get some of their infidel friends to administer consolation?
19830When they make a will why do they call in some follower of the Lord Jesus Christ to carry it out?
19830Where did you die?"
19830Who likes to go to a feast better than a young bride?
19830Who will look to you?"
19830Who will sign that?
19830Why did he not take his Wife along?
19830Why did he not take his wife along with him?
19830Why do n''t you go down to these meetings that are being held?"
19830Why do n''t you sing about Christ?
19830Why had n''t He taken some of them away?
19830Why is it that many Christians are cold?
19830Why?
19830Will you decide now?
19830Will you not remember me in your prayers, and beseech God to save my soul from eternal destruction?
19830Will you say He has not the power to redeem you?
19830Wo n''t you go and see him?
19830Would you come up to the reporters''table, take up a pen and put your name down to such an excuse?
19830Would you sign that, young man?
19830Would you, mother?
19830You have been in my house; have associated with me; you knew all these things, and why did n''t you tell me before?"
19830and I put the question:"Who''ll receive Him now?"
19830asked the criminal,"who was in here and talked so kind to me?"
19830can you spell?
19830can you write?
19830how did it come about?"
19830if your boy was dying, and he called on you to pray, could you lift your burdened heart to heaven?
19830never to see the world again?"
19830replied my friend,"You, a man of your discretion, wisdom, business ability, have made no provision for your future?"
19830said my friend,"and that land there with the house upon it?"
19830they asked,"Dinna ye hear them comin?"
19830you 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?
33520Are not you the man who has been begging here every night?
33520Are you a Christian?
33520Be''s I free, or be I not?
33520Ca n''t you turn her head round?
33520Can not Christ find him, and bring him back?
33520Did n''t I tell you I would catch you?
33520Did you really get it in that way?
33520Do you believe it is a fact?
33520Do you remember the young man who answered you so roughly the other night?
33520How did it happen?
33520How did you know it was good money?
33520How do you know it was the right kind of hand?
33520How is that?
33520How was it done?
33520I thought you said you would not believe anything you could not reason out?
33520If I say, I''ll trust Him, will He save me?
33520Then what have you got the lantern for?
33520WHY DON''T YOU LOVE JESUS?
33520Well, but,say some,"is there not a sowing time as well as harvest?"
33520Well, did n''t I say''whosoever''?
33520Well,I said,"how long have you been one?"
33520What am I to do, then?
33520What does your church believe?
33520What have you done with that blood?
33520What must I do to be saved?
33520Where did you get your good clothes? 33520 Why not?
33520Why, 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?
33520Willie, did n''t I tell you I would catch you? 33520 Wilt thou go with this man?"
33520You believe you_ have_ everlasting life?
3352015:"How shall they preach, except they be sent?
3352024, we read:"Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
3352040, where we find him saying to the other thief,"Dost not thou fear God?"
33520Am I to depend upon my works?
33520And I ask you,"Will you not be reconciled?"
33520And 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?
33520And Saul cried out,"Who art thou?"
33520And as I go on through the world I can shout now, when the bell is tolling,"O death, where is thy sting?"
33520And now God comes down into this unbelieving world, and says,"Who will set to his seal that I am true?"
33520And now, my dear friends, did you ever ask yourselves, Which is the worst-- the leprosy of sin, or the leprosy of the body?
33520And so I want to ask the friends in this hall, Who will set to his seal or her seal that God is true?
33520And so this young man was met by Satan, who whispered to him,"How do you know that is a right translation?"
33520And the thought flashed across my mind,"Will there be no difference?
33520And the young man said,"Doctor, do you believe that?"
33520And what convicted him?
33520And what was the message that the angels brought to those shepherds?
33520And when Rebekah appeared, they said to her,"Wilt thou go with this man?"
33520And when she asks him,"Well, husband, how is it?"
33520And where are you then?
33520And why?
33520And, sinner, can you, in all your difficulties or doubts and fears, have a better leader than Jehovah?
33520Are we in difficulties, in doubt, or in perplexity?
33520Are we willing to receive what Christ has already done?
33520Are you going to let present opportunity pass without coming to Christ?
33520Are you going to let these solemn moments come to an end without entering the ark?
33520Are you in doubt about anything?
33520Are 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?
33520At last an old man got up, and said,"What is the matter with us, that we are downhearted and sad?
33520But did that take away his guilt?
33520But do we walk thus in an unclouded sky?
33520But how could God be just and the justifier of sinners?
33520But 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?"
33520But 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?"
33520But when his money was gone, where were his friends?
33520But who did Christ say it to?
33520By and by the pilot was heard to say,"Do you see the lower lights?"
33520Can you bring life to the dead?
33520Can you buy it?
33520Can you by yourself make them clean?
33520Can you do a better thing than trust to God for salvation?
33520Can you feel that He has lifted your burden off your shoulders on to His own shoulder?
33520Dear afflicted mothers, has God not removed your children to a pure and happy life?
33520Did I understand you aright?
33520Did you ever hear of any one going down to hell trusting in Jesus?
33520Did you ever hear of anybody being cured of leprosy?"
33520Did 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?
33520Do n''t you?
33520Do you believe more than ever that you are a sinner?
33520Do you know why?"
33520Do you say Christ is nothing to you?
33520Do you think when that boy grew up he could fail to love that mother who died to save him?
33520Do you want to know how to get faith?
33520Do you want to know the reason why?
33520Do you want to know what it is?
33520For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
33520Glorious, is it not, to know we have such a Saviour?
33520God says,"Let him take"; who can stop us if God says it?
33520Has God ever broken His word?
33520Has not England a right to say who shall rule it, and who shall be its Queen?
33520Has the Blood touched you?
33520Have I been born of the Spirit?"
33520Have they taken you to theatres and vicious places, and left you bleeding and wounded?
33520Have you not heard of it?"
33520He attempted to write, with the same result; every letter seemed to ask him,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
33520He might have turned on Peter and said,"Peter, is it true you do n''t know me?
33520He says,"What do you mean by being born again-- born from above, born of the Spirit?
33520He thought at first to push her aside, but the child pressed it home again,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
33520He thought,"How am I to tell his parents?"
33520He turned round, and said,"My friend, are you not blind?"
33520He went on to his office, but he felt as if every letter he opened read,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
33520His breath departs from him, he dies, and where is your help?
33520His wife says,"Where did you get that Bible?"
33520How am I to be saved?
33520How are you going to wash them?
33520How can He be in us if we do n''t receive Him and trust Him?
33520How is this you are not a beggar?"
33520How many people want to do the same nowadays?
33520I am satisfied with the finished work of my Son, and will you be satisfied?"
33520I ask you once again,"Where will you spend eternity?
33520I can fancy Naaman''s indignation as he asks,"Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?
33520I can imagine him saying to his servant,"What did you say?
33520I have been asked by a great many good men,"Why is it we do n''t have any results?
33520I imagine some of you will say,"Have n''t I anything to do?"
33520I said,"Do you believe the Bible?"
33520I say to you, young man, will you have this gift?
33520I say,"My friend, what makes you so happy?"
33520I went forward and said,"Are you a Christian?"
33520If Christ did not die for our sins, what is going to become of our souls?
33520If God does not save us, who will?
33520If He did not, how are we going to get rid of them?
33520If any one is here that really loves a man, is she thinking of how much she will have to give up?
33520If death should come after any one of us to- night, are we sheltered behind the blood?
33520If he do n''t, what is the good of trying to build a house?
33520If there is a persecutor here to- night, I would ask you,"Why persecute Jesus?"
33520If we are dark and sorrowful, how is the world to know that we are children of peace, and joy, and gladness?
33520If we make light of that blood, what is going to become of our souls?
33520If you are ever to be saved, why not now?
33520If you die without Christ, without hope, and without God, where will you be?
33520If you do not pity him and love him when I am dead and gone, who will?"
33520If you make light of so great a salvation, how can you escape the damnation of hell?
33520Is He not worthy of it?
33520Is it not a wonderful thing?
33520Is it not good news to get rid of your sin?
33520Is it not the very best thing you can do?
33520Is it true you have forgotten how I cured and healed your wife''s mother when she lay at the point of death?
33520Is it true you have forgotten how I raised you up when you were sinking in the sea?
33520Is it true you have forgotten that mountain scene when you wanted to build the three tabernacles?
33520Is it true, Peter, you have forgotten me?"
33520Is not God worthy of our confidence?
33520Is not God worthy of our trust?
33520Is not that good news?
33520Is not that wonderful?
33520Is that all I have to do?"
33520Is that there?"
33520Is there any place in the Bible where it says''Take,''or is it only a word you use?
33520Is there any reason why you should not have faith in God?
33520Is there not a Ruth here?
33520It 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?
33520It is the most solemn question that will ever come before you down here,"Have I been born from above?
33520It''s very cheap, is n''t it?
33520Let me ask the poor backslider, Did you ever feel the touch of the hand of Jesus?
33520Let me ask you, my friend, Is there any reason why you should hate Christ, or why your heart should be turned against Him?
33520Listen, and hear what He says--"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
33520Make haste to be wise; for"how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?"
33520Moody?"
33520Moody?"
33520Mother, father, will you claim Him as your Shepherd?
33520My friends, are you going to"Take"to- night?
33520My little child, will you have Jesus as your Shepherd?
33520Now I am old, can I a second time enter my mother''s womb, and be born again?"
33520Now faith is-- what?
33520Now just let me stop a minute, and you think, and ask yourselves this question,"Have I been born again?"
33520Now, can you tell me by what process that same grass was turned into feathers, hair, bristles, and wool?"
33520Now, is it too much to ask or to expect that every person in this hall should put their faith in God?
33520Now, my friends, will you go with this man?
33520Now, 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?
33520Now, one question: What are you going to do with Christ?
33520Now, who will accept of that redemption?
33520Now, you that never trusted Him, wo n''t you just leap right into His arms to- night?
33520Now, young man, do you want Him to save you?
33520Oh, sheriff, why did you not tell me?
33520Only this afternoon, as I was in the inquiry- room, a person came in, and I said,"Are you a Christian?"
33520Or can you raise up a dead body by saying,"Young man, arise"?
33520People say,"What is faith?"
33520Saul of Tarsus, Zacchà ¦ us, and a host of others; how long did it take the Lord to bring them about?
33520Shall it be with the saints, and martyrs, and prophets, or in the dark caverns of hell, amidst blackness and darkness for ever?
33520She came again, and I asked,"What is the trouble?"
33520She looked strangely at me, and said,"Do n''t you believe me?"
33520Sinner, how are you going to get your robes clean if you do n''t get them washed in the blood of the Lamb?
33520So she went to the doctor, and said,"Would you like me to take care of my boy?"
33520Some of you smile at this illustration, but the Bible uses it, and if God uses it in His word, why should not I?
33520Some people say,"Why, if these men are holding, as you say, error, why should they be so in earnest?"
33520Some think much of their dinner; why should not God''s children think a good deal of THEIR SPIRITUAL FOOD?
33520Suppose I were to say, I will give this Bible to"whosoever"; what have you got to do?
33520Suppose the windows of this building were all closed, and we were complaining of the darkness, what would any one say to us?
33520Surely that is broad enough-- is it not?
33520THE RIGHT KIND OF FAITH"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
33520Take that away, and what is my hope in heaven?
33520That was a glorious thing to do, was it not, sinner?
33520That was a good number in a short time, was it not?
33520The President saw the child, and called her to him, and said,"My child, what can I do for you?"
33520The dying man sprang up from his cot, and said,"What do you say?
33520The following Sunday night I was preaching about"receiving,"and I put the question,"Who''ll receive Him now?"
33520The great question is-- Have you got the token?
33520The man turned deathly pale, and he threw up both his hands, and said,"Was that Governor Pollock?
33520The next day he called upon me-- he was a merchant in that city-- and said,"Do you remember me?"
33520Then he said,"Wo n''t you please read it to me again?"
33520Then why not ask Him?
33520Then you say,"If it is not by working in earnest, how am I to be saved?"
33520There are moments in the life of us all when we seem in a fix; we just stand still, and say,"What shall I do?
33520There is a man dying-- can you put new life into him?
33520There may be some who are saying, Why does God demand blood?
33520There 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?"
33520There was love and sympathy in that hand, and the moment the slumbering boy felt it, he said,"Oh, mother, have you come?"
33520They asked Christ,"What must we do that we may work the works of God?"
33520They were terribly in earnest, yet did God hear their cry?
33520True, it was written over His cross,"Jesus, the King of the Jews"; but where was His kingdom?
33520Very simple, is n''t it?
33520WHAT IS CHRIST TO YOU?
33520WHERE WILL YOU BE A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE?"
33520WHO WILL HAVE IT?
33520Was it not a change?
33520Was it their good resolutions or their works?
33520Well, how long did it take Naaman to be cured?
33520Well, if man do not ask payment twice, will God?
33520What act could have been more black and hellish?
33520What are you going to do?
33520What convicted him?
33520What could stand before them then?
33520What did he do?
33520What did the mother do?
33520What do you say?"
33520What does Christ say to him?
33520What does Ruth say?
33520What has brought darkness into the world?
33520What has that to do with the new birth, being united with the church on earth?
33520What is He willing to be to you, if you will have Him?
33520What is he to do there?
33520What is he to do?
33520What is his name?
33520What is that to do with the new birth and the new creation?
33520What is the gift of God if it is not eternal life?
33520What is this but the bloodshedding and death of Christ?
33520What is your burden, my friend, that you can not leave with Christ?"
33520What made the difference?
33520What more can you do, and what less can you do than trust Him?
33520What now do they need?
33520What right have I to complain?
33520What right have you to cut a verse in two, and say you believe the one half, but not the other?
33520What says the great wilderness preacher?
33520What was it saved those men?
33520What was it then that convicted this poor thief?
33520What was it?
33520What was to be done?
33520What would you say?
33520What would you think of a farmer who went on sowing all the year round, and never thought of reaping?
33520When the hunters see it coming, what do they do?
33520Whence comes our want of faith?
33520Where will you be a hundred years hence?"
33520Where will you be, on the left or the right hand of God?
33520Who was he?
33520Who will come to God as the poor prodigal did?
33520Who will have Christ-- who will trust Him?
33520Who will have faith in Him to- night?
33520Who will have it now?
33520Who will say it this afternoon?
33520Who will say to- night, as Ruth did,"I will follow thee; and thy God shall be my God"?
33520Who will say yes to- night, and take it?
33520Who will set to his seal that God is true?
33520Who will take God at His word to- night?
33520Who will take Him?
33520Who will trust Him to- night?
33520Whoever heard of a man going out to fish, and setting his net, and then letting it stop there, and never pulling it in?
33520Why is that?
33520Why should not every man and woman in this house have faith in God?
33520Why should not every one put confidence in Him now, and trust God to save them?
33520Why, suppose a man said,"Mr. Moody, I have no faith in you whatever,"do n''t you think it would grieve me?
33520Why, then, are we not full of faith in Him?
33520Why?
33520Why?
33520Why?
33520Why?
33520Will Pa deceive you?
33520Will any one take up the language of Ruth?
33520Will you despise the mercy of God?
33520Will you have the pardon, or will you despise the gift of God?
33520Will you not lay hold of the promise, and trust it, and follow Him now?
33520Will you receive His love and compassion?
33520Wo n''t you just take Him at His word, and believe on Him now?
33520Wo n''t you please read it to me again?"
33520Wonderful thing, is it not, to have God to help us on our way?
33520Would any judge in the land support him?
33520Would you call that being born from above?
33520Would you have it return?
33520Would you insult the Almighty by offering the fruits of this frail body to atone for sin?
33520You belong to that class, do n''t you?
33520You 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?"
33520You want to be fed; are you going to wander about seeking something to satisfy the cravings of your soul?
33520You, mother, are you weeping bitter tears for your little one?
33520Young man, I will leave you to answer the question, Was it not a good thing he settled it that night?
33520Young man, have you come to London, and fallen in with bad companions?
33520Young man, just ask yourself the question,"Where shall I be?"
33520Young man, young woman, will you have Him as your Shepherd?
33520how long would she rule this empire?
33520how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?"
33520may I not wash in them, and be clean?"
33520please, tell me, why do n''t you love Jesus?"
33520was that kind- hearted man the governor?
47538Be 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?
47538How 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?
47538Say 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?''
47538What 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?
47538A little child, then, was the Saviour''s model disciple; and what are the characteristics of childhood?
47538After this, why wait for some costly apparatus for doing good?
47538All, all are earnest, zealous, sanguine in the pursuit of evil-- and shall they who hold the truth be alone lethargic, listless, apathetic?
47538Am I not sinning against my soul and my God, by such exhausting engrossments?
47538An occasional glance at the Word of God?
47538An occasional petition to his throne?
47538An occasional visit to his house?
47538And is not that a perfect model of the trust we should repose in the word of our Father who is in heaven?
47538And what caused that disaster and these watery graves?
47538And what is it that constitutes its beauty?
47538And what is the antidote?
47538And what was the result?
47538And what will give that tempted youth the victory?
47538And when was it otherwise?
47538And who can doubt that confidence placed or preference given anywhere but to God, will blight and wither all at last?
47538And 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?
47538And who has not seen this verified?
47538And 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?
47538And, what is it that has achieved these results?
47538Are they benevolent or merciful, who assail the bodily disease, but neglect the divine antidote for the soul?
47538Are they enduring no wicked thing before their eyes, according to the Word of the Eternal?
47538Are 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?
47538Are they seeking the eternal good of those with whom they are connected?
47538Are we not both reproved and instructed by such little children, as to implicitly confiding in the promises of the unchanging One?
47538Are we not taught to esteem others better than ourselves, to love as brethren, to be pitiful and courteous?
47538Are we not told that only the Gentiles are anxious and fretful?
47538But did not He who wounded heal?
47538But do we rush into danger unsent?
47538But remorseless death comes: he strikes down the object to which affection clings; and where is the bereaved one now?
47538But what/can/ yield joy, if not the favour of God?
47538But, on the other hand, are the lines of that young convert cast only amid trials, and not actual sins?
47538Can a form atone for guilt?
47538Can a name, an echo, a phantom, a shadow, really avail that dying man''s soul?
47538Can a pageant cleanse the conscience?
47538Can 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?
47538Can 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?
47538Can we, in the nature of things, ever find a path more pleasant than that in which the Eternal leads us?
47538Can we, in the nature of things, ever find a wiser guide than the only- wise God?
47538Did he welcome them as a solace to his troubles?
47538Do not worldly engrossments steal the heart from God?
47538Do they not place the most unquestioning confidence in the information of those whom they love?
47538Do we meet it while we are in pursuit of pleasure, and not in the path of duty?
47538Does Christ reign in any soul now?
47538Does sin become an offence?
47538Does the Heart- searcher know that that man is perpetrating sin and regardless of his soul?
47538Does the love of Christ constrain any heart and soul?
47538Every family that calls on the name of the Lord should spread out his Word before them, and ask, What has God said?
47538Godliness does not permit a man to ask, What will my fellow- mortals approve?
47538Has God, then, left us without joy?
47538Has 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?
47538Has any man felt that salvation must take precedence of all besides, in the mind of a rational being?
47538Has any man felt that the high concerns of an infinite futurity demand instant attention, and adjustment on the earliest possible day?
47538Has the truth been lodged in the heart?
47538Has the truth of God taken possession of any man''s soul?
47538Has the wisdom which comes from above been consulted?
47538Have they not found a recess for communion with God, where no eye saw, and no ear heard, but his?
47538He 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?
47538How did a passion so extraordinary affect those who had been impelled by its power?
47538How does it happen that instead of the thorn the fir- tree has come up; instead of the brier, the myrtle?
47538How may I assuredly retain my Christianity in the Market- place, in the haunts of Commerce, or among its busy men?
47538How may I know that God is in me of a truth?
47538How perceive, or feel, or rejoice?
47538How shall we be prepared to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, in our homes?
47538How shall we be sustained?
47538How shall we subdue the spirit of the world, which is ever seeking to insinuate its deadening influence?
47538How, then, can it be time, the question again and again recurs, that such buffeted men have the promise of the present life?
47538If for ten righteous men, the Almighty would have spared Sodom, shall not a thousand acts of goodness done by Dr. Dodd counterbalance one crime?
47538Is Christ on earth showing us the Father?
47538Is Christ stamping on us now the image of the Eternal, and restoring what the fall ruined or effaced?
47538Is God''s revealed mind placed high above the highest of all authorities?
47538Is a man living in a state of estrangement from God?
47538Is he violating God''s law?
47538Is he, for the sake of gold, or honour, or any selfish end, sojourning near some focus of sin?
47538Is it not added,"I will not leave you orphans?"
47538Is it not announced as a general maxim, to which there can be no exceptive case,"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof?"
47538Is it not like a wound to his immortal nature?
47538Is 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?
47538Is it thus that I can train my children in the way in which they ought to go?"
47538Is not that man under some dire infatuation, who thinks that he can discover a safer?
47538Is not this their promised lot--"In the world ye shall have tribulation;"or"The world shall laugh, but ye shall weep and lament?"
47538Is the Word of God loved?
47538Is the breath of spring a source of gladness to man''s fevered brow?
47538Is the face of nature a source of pleasure to him who has long been immured amid the damps of a dungeon?
47538Is the mind of God, the law of the Lord, our guide?
47538Is the salvation of God sought?
47538It is by His spirit that we are sanctified-- and are they the wise who ignore all this?
47538It never pauses to inquire, What will men think?
47538Its all- decisive question is, What has God said?
47538Maintaining a daily conflict with pain, shall they ignore its origin?
47538Might 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?
47538Moreover, are not the men called godly often hated, and persecuted, and of all men the most miserable?
47538Nay, does not an apostle himself confess, that, in certain conditions, Christians may be of all men the most miserable?
47538Nay, is it not like taking fire to his bosom?
47538Need anything be said to enforce the moral of such a case?
47538Need we add, religion repudiates all these fetches?
47538Now, amid such employments, what can be the topics but the common salvation?
47538Now, are the engagements of that young convert really sinful?
47538Now, by what process was this youth enabled to make such acquirements in godliness as that prayer betokens?
47538Now, can it be rational for men to be daily cognisant with that connection, and do nothing to counteract it?
47538Now, for what purpose should all that ascendency be employed?
47538Now, how is this apparent contradiction to be explained?
47538Now, is not that a model to be copied by all who know God''s name, and put their trust in Him?
47538Now, is that the case?
47538Now, when does that struggle cease?
47538Now, would I introduce that blessed era as far as I am concerned?
47538On 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?
47538On the other hand, however, does some child receive the truth into the heart?
47538On the other hand, if we hold fast our integrity, is it to be feared that we shall be put to shame at last?
47538One man seeks happiness in sin; but did he ever find it?
47538Others are like the restless sea; and whence this difference?
47538Shall no prayer,''God, be merciful to me a sinner,''break from your heart?"
47538Shall 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?
47538The question which we should ask in regard to our home religion is not, What is done by others?
47538The truth of God may be no truth to us; His love in the Saviour may exercise no constraining power-- and what is the reason?
47538Under that constraining power, do old things pass away, and all things become new?
47538We have looked at it as it/should/ reign in the Heart:/Does/ it reign there?
47538We 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?
47538What are to be our employments in heaven?
47538What but the love of the Redeemer, and the mercies to which that love opened the way, can occupy such men''s souls?
47538What can more perfectly pamper the selfishness of man than to be told that"spiritual dependence may lead to material destruction?"
47538What can throw open the door for indulgence so widely as to be assured that we need not prepare for hereafter-- that earth is all?
47538What do men think?
47538What forms may not be impressed upon the molten lead?
47538What is his mind at any given point?
47538What is it that occasions war, and massacre, and devastation?
47538What is it that produces the earthquake?
47538What is it that produces thunder?
47538What more congenial to man than to be told that he need not care much about his soul?
47538What then?
47538What though artificial standards have elevated a nominal wealth to the value of Potosi or Golconda?
47538What though one, or two, or a few realized wealth, and withdrew in time from the ingulfing vortex?
47538What though some might be charioted to- day, who yesterday lived by the sweat of their brows?
47538What will be most conducive to present ease or peace?
47538What will the world tolerate?
47538What, then, is it that has sustained her spirit, amid trials which we almost shudder to see?
47538What/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?
47538What/can/ give peace, if not the Prince of Peace?
47538What/can/ impart true nobility, if not restoration to the image of God?
47538What/can/ spread sunshine through the soul, if not the sense of sin forgiven?
47538When is that soul really surrendered to the supremacy of God?
47538When the Cross is torn down by those who should point to it, who will believe?
47538When we became idolaters, did he leave us to our idols, to tears, and woe?
47538Whence come persecutions?
47538Where, on earth, can a scene so appropriate for religion as a dying man''s chamber be found?
47538Who can doubt that the accumulated thousands of many who name Christ''s name are their god?
47538Who ever tasted, touched, or handled what pollutes, and yet continued pure?
47538Who ever threw in their lot with godless men, without incurring the risk of sharing their doom?
47538Who has not seen the flushed cheek, the quivering lip, and the downcast eye of youth, when first beginning to deceive?
47538Who would speak of them as the haunts of the happy?
47538Why are God''s people often of all men the most miserable?
47538Will they grasp at feigned reasons for violating the Sabbath law?
47538Will they use their liberty, or will they abuse it?
47538Withal, however, is there not reason to believe that there is still room for more precise and definite instructions than are sometimes conveyed?
47538Would I see the kingdom of God set up in our groaning world; and would I like to fix a day for its commencement?
47538Would men then be happy?
47538Would you refuse to let the oppressor plant his foot on the happy island of your home?
47538Would you repel the attack of a robber were he to invade the midnight silence of your home?
47538Would you struggle for your life were you suddenly to fall into a stream or the sea?
47538Yet who would regard these waste places as the abodes of living men?
47538Yet, is there no pretext afforded to that worldly man for the opinions which he holds?
47538You 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?
47538and how does the desert blossom as the rose?
47538but, What has God said?
47538or that to be a coward before man''s frown, and to have no fear of God''s, is to act an impious part?
47538or,"hast thou come to torment us before the time?"
47538what is current, or what is countenanced among them?
8534Do 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?
8534What is my next duty? 8534 What shall I do to gain eternal life?"
8534Who 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?
85341, is our"bodies"?
8534A myriad homes,--a myriad ways,-- And God''s eye over every place?
8534Am 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?
8534Among so many, can He care?
8534And am I what I am pretending?
8534And doth not the love, the rest, the peace, the joy felt, swallow up all the bitterness and sorrow of the outward condition?
8534And how shall we know this?
8534And sound my word and thought the same?
8534And what will thy heavenly Father do but what that father did in the parable?
8534And when any special thing is repugnant to you, ask"Wouldst Thou have me do it?
8534Any cup at our home- table whose sweetness we have not fully tasted, although it might yet make of our daily bread a continual feast?
8534Appear I always what I am?
8534Are they not almost the staple of our daily happiness?
8534Art thou not the"Living Garment"of God?
8534As 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?
8534Ask"What should I like myself, if I were hard- worked, or sick, or lonely?"
8534August 23_ Seekest thou great things for thyself?
8534Be quiet, soul: Why shouldst thou care and sadness borrow, Why sit in nameless fear and sorrow, The livelong day?
8534Be quiet, why this anxious heed About thy tangled ways?
8534Because 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"?
8534Because you are not sent out yet into your labor, do you think God has ceased to remember you?
8534Believ''st thou in eternal things?
8534Bore I not helm of pride and glittering sword?
8534But how will you find good?
8534But let that love flow out upon all around you, and what could harm you?
8534But shall we be less ready for these, if any of them are His appointments for to- day?
8534But what says the Psalmist?
8534But you will go forth, and what will you find, my daughter?
8534Can special love be everywhere?
8534Can we be unsafe where He has placed us?
8534Can we walk with God in the shop, in the office, in the household, and on the street?
8534Can you not cease to regard whether you do or not, whether you be bewildered, whether you be happy?
8534December 19_ And now, Lord, what wait I for?
8534December 21_ Hast thou not known?
8534Did ever a man try heroism, magnanimity, truth, sincerity, and find that there was no advantage in them,--that it was a vain endeavor?
8534Did you ever hear of a man who had striven all his life faithfully and singly toward an object and in no measure obtained it?
8534Difficult enough, you think?
8534Do thy steps drag heavily?
8534Do we not already know that the name of the Infinite is GOOD, is GOD?
8534Do you not see that a person who truly loves is one with the Infinite Being-- cannot be uncomfortable or unhappy?
8534Does any one complain, that the best affections are transient visitors with him, and the heavenly spirit a stranger to his heart?
8534Dost thou ask when comes His hour?
8534For who is he that shall hinder thee from being good and simple?
8534Have you ever thought seriously of the meaning of that blessing given to the peacemakers?
8534His children,--how can he make the day sweeter to them?
8534His wife,--what needs has she for help, for sympathy, that he can meet?
8534How are you to attain self- control, if you shun all occasions of practising it?
8534How can charity towards all men fail to follow, being the mere affectionateness of innocence and peace?
8534How can we come to perceive this direct leading of God?
8534How couldst thou hang upon the cross, To whom a weary hour is loss?
8534How 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?
8534How does our will become sanctified?
8534How shall thou bear the cross that now So dread a weight appears?
8534How shall we rest in God?
8534I looked thereon with the eye of my understanding, and thought,"What may this be?"
8534I would have you, one by one, ask yourselves, Wherein do I take up the cross daily?
8534If He appoints me to wait in- doors to- day, am I to be annoyed because I am not to work out- of- doors?
8534If He appoints me to work there, shall I lament that I am not to work here?
8534If a man constantly aspires, is he not elevated?
8534If thou canst not make thyself such an one as thou wouldest, how canst thou expect to have another in all things to thy liking?
8534If we can not work out the will of God where God has placed us, then why has He placed us there?
8534If we forget them not, shall they not remember us with God?
8534If we have a cold heart towards a servant or a friend, why should we wonder if we have no fervor towards God?
8534In"pastures green"?
8534Is it Thy will that I should be in a public or a private condition, dwell here, or be banished, be poor or rich?
8534Is it not His own precious treasure, and a small thing with Him to forgive thee thy trespasses, if thou believe in Him?
8534Is it possible for any of us in these modern days to so live that we may walk with God?
8534Is it want of strength?
8534Is not such self- choosing a greater fault than those into which you fear to fall?
8534Is there nothing you know you ought not to do?
8534Is there nothing you neglect?
8534Is this, indeed, the tone and tenor of your prayers?
8534Is thy burden hard and heavy?
8534Is thy cruse of comfort wasting?
8534July 4_ Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded?
8534July 7_ The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
8534June 10_ Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light?
8534June 23_ Why art than cast down, O my soul?
8534June 8_ Who hath despised the day of small things_?
8534Know I what way my course is bending?
8534Let us lift up our hearts and ask,"Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?"
8534May 5_ If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?
8534Never 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?
8534November 30_ Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
8534November 9_ Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above?
8534Now, Lord, what wait I for?
8534O God, what offering shall I give To Thee, the Lord of earth and skies?
8534O 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?
8534O child, hast thou fallen?
8534October 17_ Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
8534Oh, ask not thou, How shall I bear The burden of to- morrow?
8534Oh, how shall I, most gracious Lord, This mark of true perfection find?
8534Oh, 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?
8534Oh, my soul, why art thou vexed?
8534Or how the thorns and scourging brook, Who shrinkest from a scornful look?
8534September 15_ Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?
8534September 30_ Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle?
8534Shall anything hurt us?
8534Shall not the heart which has received so much, trust the Power by which it lives?
8534Shall they forget us because they are"made perfect"?
8534Shall they love us the less because they now have power to love us more?
8534So here hath been dawning another blue day; Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away?
8534So, whether on the hill- tops high and fair I dwell, or in the sunless valleys, where The shadows lie, what matter?
8534Still heavy is thy heart?
8534Still sink thy spirits down?
8534Supposing that you were never to be set free from such trials, what would you do?
8534Take 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?
8534That Thy great love should shelter me, And guide my steps so tenderly Through every changing day?
8534Thou knowest what is best; And who but Thee, O God, hath power to know?
8534To whom?
8534Unhappy am I, because this has happened to me?
8534Was I not girded for the battle- field?
8534What can come amiss to a soul which is so in accord with God?
8534What can cross your will, when it is one with His will, on which all creation hangs, round which all things revolve?
8534What can harm thee, when all must first touch God, within whom thou hast enclosed thyself?
8534What can make so much as one jarring tone in all its harmony?
8534What channel needs our faith, except the eyes?
8534What duties have I left undone?
8534What had she done?
8534What have I done that''s worth the doing?
8534What have I learnt where''er I''ve been, From all I''ve heard, from all I''ve seen?
8534What have I sought that I should shun?
8534What heart can comprehend Thy name, Or, searching, find Thee out?
8534What if the wicked nature, which is as a sea casting out mire and dirt, rage against thee?
8534What is Nature?
8534What is fulness of joy but_ peace_?
8534What is it that makes us unable to persevere?
8534What is the thing that lies nearest to me?"
8534What know I more that''s worth the knowing?
8534What matter how miserable one is, if one can do that?
8534What shall be our reward for loving our neighbor as ourselves in this life?
8534What was the secret of such a one''s power?
8534When did we ever set ourselves sincerely to any work according to the will of God, and fail for want of strength?
8534When the shore is gained, who will heed the toil and the storm?
8534When thou hast thanked thy God For every blessing sent, What time will then remain For murmurs or lament?
8534Where then is_ our_ God?
8534Which of us feels or knows that he wants peace?
8534Who art thou that complainest of thy life of toil?
8534Who hath created these things-- that bringeth out their host by number?
8534Why go about to grieve and to despair?
8534Why is it that we are so busy with the future?
8534Why make a real calamity of it by resistance?
8534Why seek it afar forever, When it can not be lifted away?
8534Why should I start at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul?
8534Why should I vex myself because another hath vexed me?
8534Why should we desire to meet difficulties prematurely, when we have neither strength nor light as yet provided for them?
8534Why shouldst them fill to- day with sorrow About to- morrow, My heart?
8534Why weep now through thy Future''s eyes, and bear In vain to- day to- morrow''s load of care?"
8534Will not the same love which prompts you to give a good, prompt you to keep back an evil, thing?
8534Will then this which has happened prevent thee from being just, magnanimous, temperate, prudent, secure against inconsiderate opinions and falsehood?
8534Would you know the blessing of all blessings?
8534Wouldst Thou have me serve Thee in the lowest ministries of Thy house?
8534You 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?
8534and why art thou disquieted in me?
8534and why art thou disquieted within me?
8534hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
8534how many of_ you_ are content with_ such_ faithfulness as this on the part of your heavenly Father?
8534if a little pain overcomes us, how could we endure a cross?
8534in what sorrow lose yourself in His"more exceeding"joy?
8534my way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?"
8534or did His faithfulness ever fail in the sorest, blackest, thickest, darkest night that ever befell thee?
8534or did any abide in His fear, and was forsaken?
8534what am I, that all Thy mercies sweet like sunlight fall So constant o''er my way?
8534whether we have slavish fears, or are possessed of that perfect love which casteth out all fear that hath torment?
8534who shall dwell in Thy holy hill?
8534why by passing clouds oppressed, Should vexing thoughts distract thy breast?
44053After all,they say,"what are the ills of life, that we should make so much ado?
44053Are not ye much better than they?
44053How about my children? 44053 How about the prosperity of the cause of Christ in the world?
44053Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
44053My Christian work-- what about that? 44053 Take no thought,"no anxious thought,"saying, What shall we eat?
44053What about my religious future? 44053 What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
44053What 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?
44053What must I do to be saved?
44053What of death-- my own death? 44053 What will the future be?
44053When 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?
44053Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
44053Who is he that condemneth? 44053 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
44053All nature is occupied in the successful attempt to answer the initial question,"What shall we eat?
44053And how can we be conformed to a world of which we know nothing?"
44053And how does the great Teacher speak to the careworn in these verses?
44053And if it be, why recommend that which must follow in the due course of things?"
44053And if so, what will become of all the plans and projects upon which I have expended so much thought and prayer and toil?"
44053And now what ends does this sacrifice of Propitiation serve?
44053And since we have received it, why should we boast as if it were all of our own making?
44053And what to him was the very centre of Christian truth?
44053And what was his experience?
44053And what was the secret of it all?
44053And what were the sufferings of these compared with those of Christ, who wept and bled and died, not for Himself, but for us?
44053And who are sharing in it to- day?
44053And who is our Substitute?
44053And who, being a Christian, can refuse to be glad?
44053And why?
44053Are not these reasons enough?
44053Are there no such cases now?
44053Are they not sure to come?
44053Are they spoken to the happy alone?
44053Are we afraid it may fail?
44053Are we right in the feeling?
44053Are ye not much better than they?...
44053Are you, or are you not, anxious to please God in any way which He may appoint and reveal to you?
44053Ask a Christian child, or an aged saint,"What did Christ come on earth to do?"
44053Ask, then, for faith, and God will say:"Wilt thou be made whole?"
44053Besides, how could Paul recommend a rejoicing which is not"in the Lord,"which is the only rejoicing possible to the unbeliever?
44053But again we ask, Whence could such a notion have sprung?
44053But how can God deal with us in both these ways at one and the same time?
44053But how did this come about?
44053But how is this faith obtained?
44053But how is this to be verified?
44053But how?
44053But how?
44053But if you are, what then?
44053But what is the conversion of a soul?
44053But what, with such a gospel, would be man''s position?
44053But why so?
44053By what law?
44053Can I so live as not to dishonour the Church and the cause of Christ?"
44053Can he refuse when he sees Jesus on the cross, and knows what, for him, that spectacle means?
44053Can_ we_ believe in Christ?
44053Concessions?
44053Deny the deductions?
44053Did 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?
44053Do we lightly esteem His great love?
44053Do we not see here one reason why men become cynical and misanthropic?
44053Do you not already, under the gracious influence of the Holy Spirit, feel your need of Him?
44053Does it follow that the sun does not enlighten, or that my mind does not receive impressions through what I see?
44053Does it spring from error?
44053Does not the very mention of it give rise to sad reflections in many hearts?
44053Eternal Source of Life and Light, From whom my every blessing flows, How shall my lips extol aright The bounty that no measure knows?
44053Grace begins where merit ends, if grace be given at all.--What, then,_ is_ the"great salvation"?
44053Have the numberless generations which have been upon the earth gone to an inevitable doom?
44053Have we fallen into no needless errors, no selfishness, no half- heartedness?
44053Have we given nothing?
44053Have we such a faith as this?
44053Have we taken away all?
44053Have we used such gifts as we have as nobly as we might?
44053He does not ask, like"the young man in the gospel,""What good thing must I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
44053He has only to ply you with his eternal"_ Why?_"_ Why_, because the universe exists, must it have ever been_ created_?
44053He has only to ply you with his eternal"_ Why?_"_ Why_, because the universe exists, must it have ever been_ created_?
44053Hence the question might be asked,"To whom are they addressed?
44053Hence the short, sharp question-- the question which sprung from an inward agony--"What must I do to be saved?"
44053How can he be saved?
44053How can we be proud when we know that God has loved us, and that Christ has died for us?
44053How did he know that Christ had ever seen this woman before?
44053How do these thoughts bear upon the subject of importunity in prayer?
44053How do we arrive at the conviction of the Fatherhood of God?
44053How does Christ here speak of God?
44053How does he describe the struggle?
44053How does this subject strike us?
44053How is it that we conceive a sudden repugnance to one, and at first sight fall in love with another?
44053How is this?
44053How is this?
44053How many Christians are living a life of absorption in the world, yet harassed with occasional regrets, fears, desires, connected with better things?
44053How many defects have we discovered in those whom we have implicitly trusted, when we have been brought into a closer acquaintance with them?
44053How many have others discovered in us?
44053How much more?
44053How was the change wrought?
44053How was this?
44053How, then, does this fact of our unconscious influence touch the question of our responsibility?
44053How?
44053If I make a Christian profession, shall I be able to live consistently with it?
44053If all be of"grace,"why insist upon"works"?
44053If not how can we obtain it?
44053If so, again I ask on what grounds?
44053If we be not joyful, what does the fact mean?
44053If we could hold the balance steadily, which would prove to be the preponderating scale?
44053Imagine all these direct agencies to be suddenly and completely withdrawn-- what would then become of our poor world?
44053In conclusion, how is this nonconformity to the world, in the spirit of a grateful consecration to God, to be attained?
44053In what sense, and on what grounds, are we accountable for it?
44053Is a heaven of holiness and of love too much for a being whom angels are delighted to protect?
44053Is all this concurrent testimony to be set aside?
44053Is all this influence outside the range of our responsibility?
44053Is eternal life too much for a being whom the worlds combine to sustain, to feed, and to bless?
44053Is it impossible for us so to engage in it as to find it spiritually helpful?
44053Is it necessary?"
44053Is it not like Simeon''s prediction that Christ would be for the"fall"as well as for the"rising"of many?
44053Is it not like what Paul said of the gospel, that it is a"savour"both of"life unto life"and of"death unto death"?
44053Is it not ten times as great as that which we bestow upon our Christian consistency, our religious usefulness, our growth in grace?
44053Is it not the first, the necessary, the constant result of faith?
44053Is it not unspiritual to take arguments for the comfort of our Christian life from lower things?
44053Is it to be solved by the principle of mutual concession?
44053Is not all this enough to humble a man?
44053Is not such a condition a blessed one?
44053Is not the"idle,"the vain, the worthless, at the worst, thereby negative?
44053Is not this the kind of thing which is least amenable to a vigorous judgment?
44053Is the religion that has given me joy and strength in health able to support me now?"
44053Is there any doubt, then, as to our recognising them at the last?
44053Is this life ours?
44053Is your boasting heard no more?
44053It is so; and why?
44053It is thus that millions have said:"To whom can we go but unto Thee?
44053It may be said,"What do we know of the spiritual world?
44053It might be said,"Is not unworldliness of the very essence of the new life?
44053May we not indulge this feeling without any suspicion that our prosperity may too much absorb and unspiritualise us?
44053May we not with thankfulness leave them there?
44053Millions, 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?"
44053Moreover why speak we of delay at all?
44053Must not God give it?
44053Must our daily work be a hindrance to us?
44053Must they be suppressed when we speak to the sad or to the miserable?"
44053Must we go to the irrational and inanimate creation for gospels of blessing for our spiritual need?
44053Must we not feel that by death, they have made a glorious exchange?
44053Must we, then, listlessly wait until it comes to us?
44053No heaven?
44053Now, if at this point the question be asked:"Are we responsible for this undesigned influence?"
44053Of course his"What must I do?"
44053Of works?
44053Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
44053Or shall I be called away comparatively early?
44053Or will they take evil ways; prove, like so many more, vicious, ungodly, and bring down my grey hairs in sorrow to the grave?"
44053Others are suffering: why not we?
44053Seest thou this woman?
44053Shall I have grace enough to support me when the time comes?"
44053Shall I have strength to resist temptation?
44053Shall I live to be old?
44053Shall it be said, then, that God will punish every transgressor?
44053Showing His goodness in such a manner to objects inferior to man, why should man suspect that the same goodness will be denied to_ him_?
44053Since God has done so much as this for you, what then?
44053Such a life-- would it not be a terrible bondage?
44053Such vigilance-- would it not take all our time, and absorb all our strength?
44053Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?"
44053The Jews, marvelling at Christ''s teaching in the temple, exclaim,"How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?"
44053The conclusion is irresistible; the thing may be done-- but how?
44053The first question for us is: Have we so learnt to know ourselves, or do we obstinately shut our eyes against God''s light?
44053The imperative question is, not,"How is the thing done?"
44053The language is peculiar; what does it mean?
44053To what prophet could Simon point who was able to read the heart?
44053Was he conscious of its shining?
44053Was it not emphatically to sinners that they were sent?
44053Was it so with Abraham, with Job, with David, with Paul, or with any of the others?
44053Was not everything the earth contains made for our use and enjoyment, in measure increasing with every new discovery?
44053We ask,"Does He come from God?"
44053We have"received"them; and why, then, should we boast as if we had not received them, but were ourselves the creators of them?
44053Were not all these in this man?
44053What are the dimensions and outlines of it?
44053What can it say to a soul weighed down by a sense of guilt?
44053What does Paul himself understand by it?
44053What does Paul mean by the expression,"that which I have committed unto Him"?
44053What does that teach us?
44053What greater gift could God have bestowed than that of His Divine Son?
44053What greater proof of love could He have exhibited than that which this greatest of all possible gifts presents?
44053What has prevented it?
44053What have we to put in their place?
44053What have we which we have not received?
44053What if I should fall?
44053What is faith?
44053What is it, moreover, that_ connects_ the teaching of the Old Testament with that of the New?
44053What is it, then, that the apostle has said in this epistle, and of which he intends, by this word"therefore,"to remind his readers?
44053What is this faith?
44053What may we know?
44053What may we know?
44053What must we learn concerning this from what is here revealed?
44053What ordinary historian would think of narrating such a story as the one we have in the verses before us?
44053What right have we to expect that His providence will be to us a providence of love?
44053What should we become on our Tabor, if we were allowed to build our tabernacles there?
44053What to any man when death draws nigh?
44053What to the heart that is torn by calamity?
44053What was it that gave Him this power?
44053What, then, is the character of the prayer which avails?
44053What, then, is the first point?
44053What, then, is the nature of the consecration to which we are thus urged?
44053When I am old, shall I be provided for?
44053Where is it?
44053Where is the man amongst us who would not rather die than have all his sins brought to light before his fellow- men?
44053Wherein is its worth?
44053Which shall it be?
44053Who among the"prophets"ever stood aloof from sinners?
44053Who among us can tell_ all_ the reasons why he believes in Christ?
44053Who can not be sincere?
44053Who can remain proud when he compares his own life with that?
44053Who could study mathematics by beginning at the outset to dispute its axioms?
44053Who does not know that sickness has often been sanctified to that end?
44053Who 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?
44053Who ventures to doubt it?
44053Who will say,"This condition is too hard?"
44053Who would not be a Christian?
44053Who, then, has a right to complain?
44053Why does Christ illustrate prayer to God by the pertinacity which is needful to arouse the affections of sinful man?
44053Why 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?
44053Why should it be doubted that an everlasting salvation has been provided for him through such a sacrifice as that of Christ?
44053Why should it be doubted that man is an object of interest to angels, who are said to rejoice over every sinner that repenteth?
44053Why should it not be so?
44053Why should not every one be content to know the_ fact_?
44053Why should religious faith decrease in proportion as human knowledge is accumulated?
44053Why should we insist-- why should any one insist-- upon understanding the"_ why_"of this arrangement?
44053Why should we not impose upon them the more difficult task of defending their position, by attacking it with all earnestness at every point?
44053Why should we suspect that He will be indisposed to give us whatever may be needful for the existence thus created?
44053Why specially insist upon it as a duty?
44053Why urge it at all?
44053Why?
44053Why?
44053Will He, by neglect, frustrate His own purpose?
44053Will health and strength be continued to me according to my years?"
44053Will his needs be overlooked, while theirs are supplied?
44053Will it go steadily forward, or will new and fiercer foes rise up against it?"
44053Will 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?
44053Will you-- not as a vague desire, but as the most earnest determination of your heart and will?
44053With these provisions, then, shall we forecast the future with fear, or with hope?
44053Would it not speedily lapse into a mournful, moral waste-- a training- school for present and everlasting perdition?
44053Yet 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?
44053and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?"
44053and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?"
44053and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?"
44053and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
44053and what communion hath light with darkness?
44053and what concord hath Christ with Belial?
44053and wherewithal shall we be clothed?"
44053but,"_ Is_ it done?"
44053or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
44053or, What shall we drink?
44053or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

44053what shall we drink?
44053who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
15800But when is he coming back?
15800Do you not finally come to know this material all by heart, so that it is old to you?
15800Going to get any presents, do you think?
15800Not ever?
15800What makes you think so?
15800Wo 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?
15800And can the teacher set up for attainment as definite aims as are offered the gunner?
15800And 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?
15800And, further:"Are my pupils developing a_ growing_ interest in religion?
15800Another teacher asked,"Why did Jesus''s parents go up to Jerusalem when Jesus was twelve years old?"
15800Any in which you feel that you are not very successful?
15800Are the central truths of the lesson being brought out and applied?
15800Are the children alert?
15800Are the children interested in the right things?
15800Are the children of your church school growing in this knowledge?
15800Are the children of your class interested in keeping up the membership and attendance?
15800Are the pupils in your class going to be able from the work of the church school to answer favorably these and similar questions?
15800Are the standards too high for day- school teachers?
15800Are their lives more pure and free from sin?
15800Are there any particular ones who are less attentive than the rest?
15800Are there many lessons that will involve several of the types?
15800Are there still other causes not mentioned in this chapter?
15800Are they all"in the game,"or are there laggards, inattentive ones, and mischief- makers?
15800Are they high enough for church- school teachers?
15800Are they keen for discussion, or for listening to stories told or applications made?
15800Are they more reverent, more truthful, more sure against temptation, increasingly conscious of God in their lives?
15800Are they more sure to rise to the occasion when they confront duty or opportunity?
15800Are they stronger when they meet temptation from day to day?
15800Are worthy hymns taught them, or the silly rimes found in many church song books?
15800Are you a good story teller?
15800Are you able to determine from the character chart which are your strongest qualities?
15800Are you able to tell how the children of your class understand religion?
15800Are you acquainted with other series or material for the same grades?
15800Are you constantly adding to your list?
15800Are you constantly improving?

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

18701A MOUNTAIN PRAYER MEETING"Will you go to meeting with me this afternoon, Mabel?
18701A friend, who was passing by, said to the child,"Do you expect to get all that coal in with that little shovel?"
18701A smile of pleasure passed over his face, as he quietly asked,--"What did the angel blot it out with?
18701Ai nt you too?"
18701And he_ really_ died for me?
18701And how are we to get our thoughts so occupied by it, Edward?"
18701And now could you tell me where Mr. Luke Conway''s place of business is?"
18701And though you be down to death, what then?
18701And where is Brother R.?"
18701And where is Sister W.?"
18701Anxious about what?
18701Any taste for hams, herrings, tape, and shoe- strings?"
18701Are n''t you sorry you ca n''t go?"
18701Are such expressions as these likely to make us gloomy, Edward?"
18701Are we sowing seeds to blossom?
18701Are you going home with me?"
18701Are you her boy?"
18701Are you not mistaken about there being ten?"
18701Are you satisfied?"
18701Are you sure that there is n''t something else?"
18701Are you the mere slave for your thoughts, compelled to follow as they, by some caprice, may direct?
18701Arthur, what are your plans?"
18701Before the still embarrassed brother and sister could make reply, some one asked:--"How came you to be detained so late?
18701Boiled eggs, too, ai nt it, Ruth?"
18701But are you sure you would not have done as they did, and been as unbelieving as they?
18701But 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?"
18701But can you defend such a position as this?
18701But how would you propose for me to come to Christ?"
18701But now, John, you wo n''t give up seeking until you get the blessing, will you?
18701But praise her for what?
18701But what interest can boys and girls and all older persons have in these cities?
18701But what is it?
18701But what was the deaf old man about?
18701But what''ll I do with the herrings if yer do n''t want''em, and they wo n''t have''em?"
18701But who cares?
18701But why did you not come?
18701But why do they call you Miss Levick?"
18701Ca n''t I take him a little while?"
18701Ca n''t some of you help her a little?"
18701Ca n''t you believe the Bible?"
18701Can I be, father?"
18701Can I help it?
18701Can it satisfy The longing and lonely hearts of men?
18701Can you talk of hope now?
18701Conductor, how shall I know when to get out?
18701Could anything more graphically describe the progress of a young man, from the first cup of wine to the last?
18701Could it be that these were to be the very articles that were to be worn at my Ellen''s wedding?
18701Could it be the master?
18701Could that terrible personage be confronted with an imperfect scale?
18701DID YOU EVER THINK?
18701Did you ever reflect how the tobacco habit levies its taxes on everybody?
18701Did you ever think what this world would be If Christ had n''t come to save it?
18701Did 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?
18701Did you ever think what this world would be With never a life hereafter?
18701Did you observe the personal bearing of their parents toward them-- know their walk and conversation?
18701Do n''t you know, man, that a fence must be perfect, or it is worthless?"
18701Do n''t you think I''ll see you a Christian yet before I die?"
18701Do tell me how I can get ready?
18701Do we realize this?
18701Do you begin to see, Edward, that the Bible is more suitable to be an every- day book than your profane history?"
18701Do you ever sigh and disquiet your heart, Christian pilgrim, because God has not given you wealth and worldly ease?
18701Do you suppose he has found out where Harrowtown is?
18701Do you suppose he''ll ever leave it off?"
18701Do you want any medicine?"
18701Do you wonder we refuse to let you attend the party?"
18701Does any one think that such a life, with such an object in view, was hard or cruel?
18701Does he think I shall recover?"
18701Fixing up this room, you know, and being so gentle like-- what can it mean unless he''s going to die?"
18701For being sullen, and making your home the most disagreeable place in the world?"
18701For 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?
18701For me-- for me?"
18701Foremost among the disappointed was a tall woman of a bitter tongue, who began vehemently,"Why have n''t I got any?
18701Given it up lately?
18701Had he ever told her of the satisfaction he had known, or the comfort experienced?
18701Had heaven forsaken him, and given him over to the tender mercies of the wicked?
18701Had those riches ever made him as happy as that old man looked to be over his poor meal?
18701Has anything serious occurred at the institute?"
18701Has n''t one been added somewhere else?"
18701Have you been talking with the doctor about me?"
18701Have you no power to determine what themes_ shall_ and what shall_ not_ employ your meditations?
18701Have you not turned away in utter scornful unbelief, like the woman?
18701Have you seen the lines--"''None but Jesus, none but Jesus, Can do helpless sinners good''?
18701Have you taken the trouble to reply at all?
18701He has sent to you the most loving and tender offers that even an almighty God could frame; and what have you replied?
18701He jumped out of bed, saying,"Father, wo n''t you come and help me?"
18701He rebelled against it; wanted to know"why God had done it?"
18701How are you?
18701How could he do that?
18701How could you pass by a stranger so indifferently, Mrs. Greyson?
18701How did he fall out?"
18701How did you disguise yourself so well?"
18701How is it with you, John?"
18701How many are there, Charley?
18701How many husbands are in a similar dilemma?
18701How much do you suppose you spend each day for cigars and ale?
18701How much is your salary?"
18701How much salary have you fixed upon?"
18701How was I to live without him?
18701How weary of all endeavor, If the dead unnumbered, in land and sea, Would just sleep on forever?
18701I guess you and Nick will come up real often, wo n''t you?"
18701I''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?"
18701If this is discovered what will be the end of it?
18701In a few moments more he said,--"Father, are you sure it is all wiped out?"
18701In 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?"
18701In the silence that followed Mr. Carman spoke out:--"Is my character to be thus blasted on the word of a criminal, your honors?
18701Is it any wonder that amid such home influences the boy did not show, as he advanced toward maturity, a high sense of honor?
18701Is it really the old Tom?"
18701Is it strange that the boy''s perception of right and wrong should be obscured?
18701Is it too late, temperance men?
18701Is n''t that it, my friend?"
18701Is the chimney clear?"
18701Is there a brother drifting on life''s ocean, Who might be saved if you but speak a word?
18701Is this right?"
18701It is n''t a proper place for a lady, and why are you driven to such a step?"
18701It is n''t the fact that you''re hurt that counts, But only, HOW DID YOU TAKE IT?
18701It is n''t the fact that you''re licked that counts, But, HOW did you fight, and WHY?
18701It was a sensible conjecture; for why else should I follow on?
18701It 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?"
18701It was the complete answer to his question,"Praise her for what?"
18701Last night your father and I had a long talk about the matter, and we agreed--""To let me go?"
18701Levick?''
18701May I run over and see Cousin Sue off?"
18701Merton?"
18701Mr. Peyton owes me ten dollars and I can''t"--"Mr. Peyton?
18701Mr. Randal, is this the boy who lied to you, and caused you to get out at the wrong station?"
18701My God, how can it be That thou, who hast discerning love, Shouldst give that gift to me?"
18701N----?"
18701Now what d''ye think of that, eh?"
18701Now will you inform me to what you owe your healthy, happy life?"
18701Now, really, did not the drive to and from church do you more good than the sermon?
18701O, 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?
18701Oh, but was n''t it rich to see how scared he was when I waked him up?
18701On the following morning he said to his wife,"Ellen, have you any coffee in the house?"
18701Only cold and hunger are not kind helpmates, Mr. Hobbs, ye ken that, eh?"
18701Possibly I looked the discouragement I was beginning to feel, for he added in a kindlier tone,''Are you good at taking a hint?''
18701Seriously, why should you be more polite to Mrs. Jones than to mamma?
18701Shall I do so?"
18701She had always made his home as comfortable as hands could make it, and had he offered the light return of praise or commendation?
18701She said,''Are you Madam Gazin?''
18701Should the animated This great law invalidate?
18701Sister W. lifted her hands in unfeigned astonishment, and exclaimed:--"Could any one believe it?
18701Some, to be sure, there were who said,"Can the leopard change his spots?"
18701Stepping up to the bar, and addressing the proprietor, she said:--"Sir, can you assist me?
18701Surely the anchor ought to respect so excellent a chain, and not break away from it?''
18701Taggard?"
18701That he should be mean and selfish and dishonest in little things?
18701That he will not hang another Of such beauty on the line?
18701That''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?"
18701The child hesitated, and then looking at the stranger, near whom he sat, said innocently:--"How many are there?"
18701The man thought for some moments, and said, as if in doubt,"Eleven, are there not?"
18701The minister opened the services with a few fervent, simple words, and then said,"Brother----, will you lead in prayer?"
18701Their unbelief cost them only a hungry stomach a little longer; but what may your unbelief cost you?
18701Then I called out loudly also,"Will any one have some herrings for tea?"
18701Then in a slightly agitated voice his wife inquired,--"Have you been successful in obtaining the money?"
18701They all"would like,"but"where was the money to come from?"
18701UNFORGOTTEN WORDS"Have you examined that bill, James?"
18701Was n''t that right?"
18701Was not Susie''s prayer answered?
18701Was the condition of the former so much better than his own, that he would care to change places with him?
18701Was there no one to offer a word of true counsel?
18701Well, what of that?
18701Were you in the homes of these young men from the beginning?
18701What 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?
18701What could I do?
18701What did it signify what the world said about it?
18701What harm can there be in it?
18701What has made the difference?
18701What if Mr. James did owe him a thousand dollars?
18701What if he should lose the whole amount of this indebtedness?
18701What is fame to love?
18701What is it that gives to the plainest face The charm of the noblest beauty?
18701What is it?
18701What is the meaning of this?"
18701What is the nature of it?"
18701What is your name?"
18701What more can a man do, even if he has all the religion in the world?"
18701What right had that old man to thank God for bread and water, when_ he_ never thanked him for all his great possessions?
18701What say you?"
18701What say you?"
18701What shall I do if my child becomes an habitual deceiver?"
18701What shall I do?"
18701What was I to teach my boy,--Christ and him crucified, or the doctrines I had tried to believe?
18701What would he say?
18701When 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?
18701When 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?
18701Where are you going, if I may ask?"
18701Where could he sleep?"
18701Where did you get it?"
18701Where now is all the bread you have cast upon the waters?"
18701Where was the sustaining power of boasted philosophy in this hour of darkness?
18701Where''s Carrie?"
18701Which like you the best-- gamblers, drunkards, and thieves, or your mother?
18701While the years are swiftly passing, As we watch them come and go, Do we realize the maxim, We must reap whate''er we sow?
18701Who can help us?
18701Who is there to help us now?"
18701Who knows how much good they will do?''
18701Why do n''t they try to save poor old Israel Trask''s soul, and his wife''s too?"
18701Why do n''t you tell us, so we can laugh too?"
18701Why should God take one and not the other?
18701Why was my fate so pitiless?
18701Will that give you time to become acquainted with our service?"
18701Will we always be youthful, and laughing and gay, Till the last dear companions drop smiling away?
18701Will you not seek him when he may be found?
18701Will you take the organist''s place this afternoon?
18701Will you take your old place again?"
18701With a sponge?"
18701With great agitation he exclaimed,"Father, is that so?
18701Wo n''t you forgive me?''"
18701Wo n''t you go with me?"
18701Wo n''t you stay at home and take care of me?
18701Would he not laugh?
18701Would she meet with such aid from him who was to be her future companion and protector?
18701Would you have me choose for my companions those who treat you with neglect?
18701Would you wish me to frequent places, whence I should return, careless and cold in my manner toward you?
18701Yes, we are boys, always playing with tongue or with pen, And I sometimes have asked, shall we ever be men?
18701You are beaten to the earth?
18701You do n''t love her better?"
18701You do n''t suppose that little thing will hold all my treasures, do you?
18701You will go, will you not?
18701Your mother do n''t mind my smoking-- do you, mother?"
18701ai nt I as good as they?
18701ai nt my children as hungry as theirs?"
18701and a more solemn question is, What is the record they are making?
18701and what do you see?"
18701and what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
18701dear old dog, could you ever forgive me if I sold you?"
18701exclaimed Mr. Bishop,"can that be true?
18701he cried,"ai nt it, John?"
18701he cried,"which is right, you or I?"
18701how are you?"
18701interrupted the captain,"place-- what do you or I or any one else know about any other place than this world?
18701or ran away in fear, like the child?
18701said Edward, as he seated himself beside him;"and do you not find the breeze from the water very refreshing?"
18701smoothing her"front"and refolding her neckerchief,"has the minister come?
18701soliloquized the tearful pupil,"wo n''t my father give it to you for this?"
18701that He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, will with him also freely give us all things?
18701what did I see?
18701what is this?
18701what''ll I do with''em?"
18701where can I get it?
18701you 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?
54246How is it, then, that you did not understand any thing?
54246How''s that? 54246 Of course I do,"he replied;"but do you imagine that I care for abuse?
54246This man''s logic and style,say they,"are weak; how comes it that he is so attractive?"
54246Toward noon, or one o''clock, he must go out, and asks himself: Where shall I go to- day? 54246 What are the lords?"
54246What interest, then, have you in coming?
54246What is it, then, my good friend?
54246Why 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?"
54246A sharp working man, who had been listening to a sermon, was once asked--"What did the preacher say?
54246All they shall speak and say unto thee: Art thou also become weak as we?
54246Am I not endowed with reason?
54246Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
54246Am not I a man as well as he?
54246And can we be happy while we see them wicked and miserable?
54246And if pious and intelligent men are of that opinion, what must the masses think?
54246And who have been the masters of this great French people?
54246And why?
54246And you would have me believe that this is the religion of Christ?
54246And, besides, who knows but that it might subject them to the charge of being deficient in dignity?
54246Apart from charity, what remains?
54246Are not all a source of good to those who love?
54246Are not our French little ones as deserving of compassion as Chinese children?
54246Are not the people still children?
54246Are not the people the most notable part of our family?
54246Are not the two hundred millions of pernicious books scattered throughout France enough?
54246Are reapers and hirelings called the hosts of those who pay them?
54246Are there many Unbelievers in France?
54246Are there many Unbelievers in France?
54246Are they not the most delectable joys which earth can afford?
54246Are they right in this, or are they to blame?
54246Are we certain that we should find the same frankness and courage elsewhere?
54246Are we ignorant of what a man is who is vicious, or ignorant, or passionate?
54246Are we not all children still, in more than one respect?
54246Are we not aware that they must banter or ridicule some one, even though it be a benefactor?
54246Are we not still in the middle ages?"
54246Art thou quite sure that thou lovest Me?"
54246As to probity, fidelity, and discretion, where are they to be found?
54246Ask you what it is?
54246Ask:"Is it not true?
54246Astronomy has changed; philosophy has changed; empire has changed; why are you always the same?''
54246Besides, we shall encounter opposition?"
54246But do not we assist in driving them away?
54246But do the masses trouble themselves about them?
54246But do they entertain any such idea?
54246But how should this zeal be carried out into practice?
54246But is it so very difficult to be one''s self?
54246But it will be objected: What can be said in ten or seven minutes?
54246But it will be urged:"Where is the time to come from?
54246But of what avail is it to succor the body, if the soul is neglected?
54246But one is naturally endowed with great ingenuity; what need is there, then, for so much application?
54246But what are the means which should be employed to bring the people nearer to the Gospel?
54246But what if it be so, if the discourses are neither listened to nor understood?
54246But what matters it by whom you are saved, provided that you are saved?
54246But what would you say if a working- man, doing as you did by her mother, should seduce and dishonor the poor girl?''
54246But where is the seat of good and evil, and where are both elaborated?
54246But who is to blame, ourselves or the faithful?
54246But why should you expect them to understand us?
54246But why this dread of being derided?
54246By what means?
54246Can I any the more blame my mother, or charge her with weakness-- my mother, whose influence over me is so strong?
54246Can it be that we are ignorant of the French people?
54246Can it, indeed, be that you are not of so much value as the souls of Chinese?
54246Command or scold?
54246Complaints are often made of our congregations; but have they not sometimes cause on their part to complain of their preachers?
54246Did not Christ come to raise the fallen?
54246Did not Saint Paul say:"I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ,"for the sake of his erring brethren?
54246Do I fear exile?
54246Do I fear the loss of goods?
54246Do not be surprised, then, if something like the following dialogue should take place:"Well, sir, but who pays you for visiting us?"
54246Do they acquire a permanent sway over the hearts of men?
54246Do you ask who will make this principle popular?
54246Do you hold them under the spell of your words?
54246Do you know any one to whom the like has not happened?
54246Do you know what that man resembles who lives without God and without hope?
54246Do you know where you are?
54246Do you possess their souls, together with your own?
54246Do you really mean to throw me out of the window?
54246Do 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?
54246Endowed with so goodly a portion, what have they to complain of; for is not dominion over mankind achieved thereby?
54246Even we, with all our education, our science, the superior moral atmosphere which we breathe,--are we always blameless?
54246For what is unbelief?
54246For, after all, of what use is it?
54246For, what do we often take for an orator or preacher?
54246For, what is a man of genius?
54246For, what is a priest?
54246For, what is an apostle?
54246Has he not, like them, preserved the tradition of his noble origin?
54246Has it not already thrown blood and scum enough at humanity and religion?
54246Has not the Press injured us enough already?
54246Have they not already suffered enough?
54246Have they not as much reason to murmur against and to upbraid us?
54246He 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?"
54246He will reply:--"How can I help it?
54246Hence all strong admonitions should be tempered with such deprecations as these:--"Brethren, why am I constrained to tell you these stern truths?
54246How can any one be led into such a delusion?
54246How comes it that any town dares to be without one?
54246How comes it that there are not associations of young apprentices in all the towns of France?
54246How comes it, then, that we are deluded by such fine speeches?
54246How could you attain it?
54246How delivered from those endless sermons addressed to unbelievers?
54246How, indeed, can any prevail against one in whom God is felt to dwell?
54246How, then, are we to get rid of those preachers who are always taken up with unbelievers?
54246I pray thee speak?
54246If it be so, whose fault is it?
54246If one speaks of a preacher, he is immediately asked:"Has he faith?"
54246If sermons are not attended, whose fault is it?
54246Ill- advised that I was, why did I suffer myself to be amused with talking to the serpent?
54246Is AEschines the host, or the mercenary of Alexander?
54246Is he capable of understanding you?
54246Is he not a child of Adam, like the rest of mankind?
54246Is it all theirs?
54246Is it not the aim of Christian eloquence to win over the hearts of men, and to dispose them toward that which is good?
54246Is it so, I ask, that we are called to"vulgarly follow the masses?"
54246Is it surprising that they have not always yielded to such guidance?
54246Is it their fault if the pernicious doctrines and scandals of the higher orders have stained the lower classes of society?
54246Is life a desert wherein I am lost?
54246Is not a priest''s life essentially a militant life?
54246Is not long preaching very much like an attempt to surpass these men, who were so highly imbued with the spirit of Christianity?
54246Is not such an one rather a mere man?
54246Is not the blessed institution of the_ Propagation of the Faith_ the work of France?
54246Is not the priest a soldier?
54246Is not the society of Saint Vincent de Paul likewise the work of France?
54246Is not the world sufficiently estranged from the Church already?
54246Is 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?
54246Is not, also, the_ Archiconfrérie_ for the return of sinners to the paternal home, the work of France?
54246Is she not, indeed, the guardian of religion and virtue at the domestic hearth?
54246Is that saying always realized amongst ourselves?
54246Is that the most pressing business on hand?
54246Is there a dearth?
54246Is there any of you who would employ such an hereditary tailor?
54246Is there no one to guide me?
54246Is there stagnation in trade?
54246It is constantly being repeated that society is unsound; then, should we not overlook some things in those who are ailing?
54246Just as if a man who proposed to make you a coat should answer the question: Are you a tailor?
54246Meanwhile, they are miserable; and being miserable are, as it were, doomed already: yet, what have they done to merit this?
54246Men of Athens, what, then, is your opinion?
54246Moreover, may there not still be a portion for the pastor, even from among the erring flock?
54246Must we not become all things to all men?
54246Must we not take them as they are?
54246My father, the man whom I am bound to resemble most on earth, can I condemn him?
54246Not always; and who can tell but that some thought has taken root in their minds which in time will bear fruit?
54246Now, let me ask, are you aware of the enemies with whom you have to deal, and the difficulties which you have to contend against?
54246Of what avail, then, is it to spend so many long years in study?
54246On the other hand, why preach so long?
54246One feels tempted on these occasions to ask the apologist:--"Are you a Christian?"
54246Or, let us study the Gospel: do we find there any of these fine airs, this inflated and consequential tone?
54246Ought we not to become little with the little, that we may save all?
54246Say, would you inflict such torture upon us?
54246Say, would you wish that?
54246Shall I address you in the language of severity?
54246Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
54246Shall I go to Madame So- and- so?
54246Shall we continue any longer inactive at the sight of the torrents of vice and error which are hurrying our brothers on to the abyss?
54246Should we be better than they if we had breathed the same pestiferous atmosphere?
54246Surely you do not think that God troubles Himself about them; that He counts the number of tapers, or carpets, or chairs?
54246Surely you heard him?"
54246Surrounded as they have been with so many passions and prejudices, is it surprising that they are now insensible and mistrustful?
54246Take away the accent of conviction from a sermon, divest it of energetic faith, and what is left thereof to the hearers?
54246The rich class are charitable; but are they more so than the popular classes?
54246Their estimate of them is founded on slander; how, then, can they have confidence in them?
54246Then, again, might we not talk less about past heresies and errors, and be more taken up with the time present?
54246Thenceforward, what can you expect him to effect, even among peasants, who have heard that fatal verdict?
54246These are shortcomings on the part of the congregation, but are they wholly responsible for them?
54246They are not rich; but what matters that?
54246They are the only joys vouchsafed to us: and yet can we dare to complain?
54246They may be rather exacting on that point: it may be a weakness on their part; but what is to be done?
54246Thus 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?
54246Thus, do not say:--"Does the soul die with the body or does it pass to another life?"
54246To such reply:--"And why not?
54246To what school have we sent them?
54246Under its breath, the souls of men should dilate, blossom, as it were, and feel less unhappy; for is not the Gospel glad tidings?
54246Undoubtedly, they have their faults, their frailties, and their vices; but are we not more blameworthy than they?
54246Very true; but do the people examine?
54246Very 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?
54246Was it not proclaimed at the Nativity of Christ:--"I bring you glad tidings of great joy?"
54246Was it not to that end that he bade adieu to the world and left his father and his mother in tears?
54246We blame that tendency in others; but are we not somewhat bureaucratic ourselves?
54246We complain that the faithful do not come to our sermons; have we made any such efforts as these?
54246We have the philosophy of theology, the philosophy of the sacraments, the philosophy of the liturgy; and to what does it all tend?
54246Well, when a young man awakens into life, what does he see around him?
54246Were we not brought up at the same school?
54246What a goose you are; wo n''t you answer?
54246What am I to do?
54246What are they to do in the midst of this conflict of affirmations and negations?
54246What are we to do in consequence?
54246What constitutes true Popularity?
54246What constitutes true Popularity?
54246What do we wait for?
54246What do you remember of his sermon?"
54246What does a good education mean, and of what use is it?
54246What else can we expect?
54246What else, indeed, could any do who love you, and also inspire love on your part?
54246What has become of our great men, who trusted in man, who appealed to reason only, however exalted that reason may have been?
54246What have we done?
54246What is the good of it?
54246What is the object?
54246What masters have we given them?
54246What must I become?
54246What use is there in my listening to it again?"
54246What would he do?
54246What, then, am I to do?
54246What, then, do you understand by being a Christian?
54246What, then, have we come to?
54246What, we ask, is a youth of eighteen, with all his besetting passions, to do in the midst of confusion like this?
54246When the people look above them, do they always find good examples in the higher classes of society?
54246Whenever you address them from the pulpit, is their attention riveted?
54246Where are the masses who have clung to their good or evil fortune?
54246Where is now their ascendency?
54246Where is, then, the blessedness ye spake of?
54246Where the devotion which they have kindled?
54246Where, I should like to know, among other classes, will you hear the admission:--"I am misled; I am in the wrong?"
54246Whereat Doctrine has come forth under the form of a feeble and decrepit septuagenarian, and has asked:--"''What do you want of me?''
54246Wherefore?
54246Who hath done this?''
54246Who knows but that French wit, by one malicious word, may not upset all at once your elaborate structure of arguments?
54246Who knows but that some, who have never been accustomed to work, will offer to aid in the building?
54246Who, indeed, can be bold enough to hate it?
54246Who, indeed, has not been deluged with compliments?
54246Why did I not pluck out my eyes rather than look upon that which I was forbidden to know?
54246Why did I not smite to death this scandalous bosom of mine?
54246Why did he not speak a little longer?
54246Why did she allow herself to be enticed?''
54246Why did we not burn it rather than be tempted to gather its fruit?
54246Why did we not quit the earthly paradise, and flee to the end of the world to avoid the risk of so tremendous an evil?
54246Why did we pluck of that tree?
54246Why do you now wish to borrow a philosophy from Protestant Germany?
54246Why do you still applaud me, even while I am making a law to prohibit the abuse?
54246Why should we give ourselves so much trouble on their account?"
54246Why should we take so much trouble in preparing sermons if they are not to be listened to?
54246Why, then, are they not better understood?
54246Why, then, attach so much importance to these matters?
54246Will you not desist?"
54246Would that be to have charity?
54246Would that be to have faith?
54246Would that be to love God and our neighbor?
54246Would you do him good?
54246Would you exert a divine power over them?
54246Would you make an end of it?

37794How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?
37794I am to depart, you to remain; but which shall have the happier lot, who can tell?
37794I did not ask after my sons,replied the patriotic woman,"but how prospers the fight?"
37794If these things are done in the green tree, what shall not be done in the dry?
37794Is Ephraim my dear son? 37794 Is it not welded to the alloy?"
37794Know ye not,he writes to the Corinthians,"that they who run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
37794Knowledge is power;but what knowledge is so mighty as that which Christ brought from the bosom of the Father?
37794Lord, what wait I for? 37794 Shall I hide from Abraham,"said Jehovah,"the thing that I do?"
37794Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
37794The Lord hath spoken; who can but prophesy?
37794The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
37794This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
37794What are a million of human lives,said the great Napoleon,"to the scheme of a man like me?"
37794What son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
37794What wilt thou do with them, dear Jesus?
37794Who can tell how oft he offendeth?
37794Who hath hardened himself against the Lord and prospered?
37794Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect? 37794 Who was he?
37794Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sin?
37794Would you obtain a prize in the Olympic games?
37794All are his; and shall he not do what he will with his own?
37794Am I his, or am I not?"
37794Am I saying what sounds strange to you, if not absurd and preposterous?
37794Among all the myriads of Adam''s children, what one quality was there worthy of his love?
37794And can you be so selfish as to forget all griefs but your own?
37794And can you hope for exemption?
37794And did he not pray for his little flock, that they might love one another as he had loved them?
37794And do we not need such assurance?
37794And does not his most loving apostle plainly tell us that this is the proof of our having passed from death to life?
37794And hath the Master abandoned those who are obeying the mandate and perpetuating the sacred succession?
37794And how had the apostle attained to such experience?
37794And how receive we the message and respond to the demand?
37794And how shall we pray successfully, if we answer not our own prayers by pouring our offerings into the Lord''s treasury?
37794And if correct, is not Robert Hall''s remark equally true-- that"indulgent parents are cruel to their children and to posterity"?
37794And if he, why not we?
37794And in these instances, is it not likely that we are deceived often by appearances?
37794And is there any guilt or misery from which the Mighty to save can not deliver the soul that trusts in him?
37794And its any thing short of infinite mercy adequate to the forgiveness of such a debt?
37794And shall the Christian conceal his faith or suppress his convictions to please those who hate the light because their deeds are evil?
37794And to be content-- is it not, after all, the best way to be well supplied?
37794And to whom, or how many, is the crown to be given?
37794And we, my brethren-- shall we not take warning from the fate of the unfaithful people?
37794And what avails your discontent?
37794And what can the end be but a blasting malediction from the Master?
37794And what reason for discontent have we, that this noble hero had not?
37794And what saith the apostle?
37794And what, to such a prize, are all the splendors of royalty, with all the magnificent pageantry and subsequent privileges of an Olympian triumph?
37794And when his loving heart broke beneath the burden of its anguish, think you he ceased to grieve for a guilty and ungrateful world?
37794And when the divine Heart- searcher calls him to judgment, what answer can he make to the dread animadversions of the angry king?
37794And who ever matched him in beneficence and bounty?
37794And who shall blame this longing for rest, this sighing for home, this desire of a better country?
37794And why did Ignatius chant so cheerfully among the lions, and Polycarp pour forth his thanksgiving so joyfully as he stood unbound in the flames?
37794And will you not ask and receive, that your joy may be full?
37794And you, have you not infinitely more ground for gratitude than for grumbling?
37794And"if God be for us, who can be against us?"
37794And, failing in this, where is the proof of your love to him who laid down his life for us all?
37794Are his commandments grievous to you, or do you find his yoke easy and his burden light?
37794Are not the redeemed of his dear Son his jewels, his_ segulla_, his peculiar treasure?
37794Are not those who occupy our pulpits the accredited ambassadors of Christ?
37794Are these achievements to be wrought without the Master''s presence?
37794Are these victories to be won without the Captain of our salvation?
37794Are those that remain worth nothing to you because others have been removed?
37794Are weapons used to gain freedom?
37794Are you afraid of the opinions or the speeches of others?
37794Are you not ready to take up your cross, and follow him to Calvary?
37794Are you satisfied with the proof?
37794As with a sword in his bones, they reproached him; saying continually,"Where is now thy God?"
37794Ask him now the question he has often asked with a sneer--"Is there a hell, and where is it?"
37794Ask the world,"What think ye of Christ?"
37794At peace with heaven and earth, what has he to fear from either?
37794But are we not in danger of overlooking what is much more essential to our prosperity?
37794But how shall he pay it in prison?
37794But in what slave- mart of the universe shall God sell the sinner?
37794But is he willing to cut down the worthless tree, or blast it with his curse?
37794But is love to Christ indeed so common?
37794But is not this practically the language of the believer who sinks into a state of despondency under providential bereavements?
37794But is not this the relation of all men?
37794But is there not something still better, which ought to be an element in every process of human education?
37794But there is something, see you not?
37794But where are the forms and colors to rival those with which we are adorning the new Jerusalem?
37794But who can calculate the consequences?
37794But why dwell on this dismal theme?
37794But why should faith be thus tested?
37794Can all your anxiety change the color of a hair, or add a moment to your little all of life?
37794Can any who hear him ever forget those gracious utterances?
37794Can those who love the Saviour ever forget him?
37794Can we alter the facts, undo the deeds, repair the wrongs, recall the time, or efface the record?
37794Can we survey the valley of vision, and not prophesy to all the winds of God?
37794Can you appeal to him in the language of the psalmist--"Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth"?
37794Can you not trust him who, in the power of an endless life, has established his throne in your hearts?
37794Can you not trust the bounty of your King, the affection of your Father?
37794Can you say with the psalmist--"The desire of our soul is unto thy name, and to the remembrance of thee"?
37794Christ hath commanded us to proselyte all nations; shall we be recreant to our responsibility?
37794Christ is the love of God incarnate in our nature; and where shall the loving John find rest, but in the bosom of the Eternal Love?
37794Come and analyze the water, and discuss its qualities, and speculate about its probable effects?
37794Come and explore?
37794Come and investigate?
37794Come and see?
37794Come and what?
37794Coming boldly through his merit and mediation to the throne of grace, shall we not certainly obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need?
37794Could any mere mortal have spoken so?
37794Could there be a more unlovely contrast to the conduct of the king?
37794Dear Reader: In the preface to Pauline Charity, did not the writer promise thee that volume should be his last?
37794Do men light a candle to put it under a bushel or a bed?
37794Do not the anxious thought and the longing to know indicate at least some small degree of love?
37794Do they generally accord to him his claims, practically observe his requirements, and devote all their energies to his service?
37794Do you delight to converse with those who delight to converse with Christ and to converse with you about him?
37794Do you esteem his service a hard bondage, or the blessed freedom of the sons of God?
37794Do you joyfully listen to the messages of his grace, and read with pleasure the epistles of his love?
37794Do you love to speak with Christ in prayer?
37794Do you meditate sweetly of him in the night- watches?
37794Do you prefer their society to that of the world?
37794Do you think often of Jesus, and dwell with delight upon his love?
37794Does he mock them with an invitation which is insincere?
37794Does it perish in the process?
37794Does not God know what is best for you, and will he alter his wise and gracious economy to gratify your foolish and capricious desires?
37794Does not St. Paul tell us that as many as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ?
37794Does not religion favor the most thorough mental discipline and contribute to the harmonious development of all the spiritual powers?
37794Does not the repetition seem to imply a danger of mistake and self- deception?
37794Does the sun refuse to shine lest he should offend the bat or blind the owl?
37794Earnestly contend?
37794Even if he offer no plea, can you be utterly indifferent to his grief?
37794Every thing else tested, why not Christian character?
37794For, what is Christian character?
37794Had Jesus deemed it a question of little consequence, think you he would have put it thrice in so searching a manner to St. Peter?
37794Had Jesus desired to limit his salvation to a few unconditionally elected favorites, would he not have restricted the invitation?
37794Had he remained indifferent to our helpless woes in the heavenly mansions, who could have impeached one of his perfections?
37794Hard sayings are these to ears like yours?
37794Has he not shut you, like Noah, into the ark of your salvation?
37794Has our penitential humiliation been real and effectual, or only feigned and perfunctory?
37794Have these thirty- six days in the holy mount deepened our communion with God and intensified our love of holiness?
37794Have we borne fruit, or only leaves?
37794Have we no loving compassions for them, no desire to rescue and save their souls alive?
37794Have we not to- day the same gospel preached to us?
37794Have we such hope?
37794Have 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"?
37794Have you no sympathy, then, with the Prince of sufferers?
37794He hath afflicted you, perhaps, on purpose to draw you to himself; and will you thus defeat the designs of his mercy?
37794He 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?"
37794His better days what human art shall depict or finite mind conceive?
37794His 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?
37794How can you love Christ, and not love Christians?
37794How is it with you, dear brethren?
37794How is it with you?
37794How long halt you?
37794How much worldly good is necessary for any of us?
37794How shall we meet the reckoning?
37794How, then, can the transgressor hope to pay the new and additional debt which he has incurred by innumerable crimes?
37794How, without him, can we bear to live or dare to die?
37794I 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?
37794If David had such consciousness of sin, what must our consciousness be if we knew ourselves as well?
37794If not, how can it be said that you love them as you love yourself?
37794If not, how can you say,"We love him because he first loved us"?
37794If we have no sense of the stroke, how shall we submit to the hand that smites us?
37794If you love the Father, will you not love his children?
37794If you love the Master, will you not love his servants?
37794In all the eternity to come, what satisfaction can we offer for our faults?
37794In all things, do you seek his pleasure, and rejoice to do his will?
37794In comparison of our sins against God, what are our brother''s sins against us?
37794In 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?
37794In the crown that glitters in the hand of your Judge, is there not sufficient indemnity for all the agony of the conflict?
37794In the immortal Christ we have a sufficient answer to the patriarch''s question--"If a man die, shall he live again?"
37794In this grace, why should we not equal St. Paul?
37794In what school, from what teacher, had he learned so great a lesson?
37794Is he a pleasant child?
37794Is he not the very friend we need?
37794Is it not as true to- day, as it was when he said it, nearly nineteen centuries ago,"Without me ye can do nothing"?
37794Is it not his word they speak, his claims they urge, his love they proclaim, and his salvation they offer?
37794Is it not the high calling of every Christian?
37794Is it your meat and drink to do his will, as it was his to do the will of his Father?
37794Is my conduct, public and private, such as to put the matter beyond all doubt and controversy?
37794Is not Christianity pre- eminently the religion of peace and love?
37794Is not David''s rock your rock, your fortress, your high tower, and unfailing city of refuge?
37794Is not every attribute of Jehovah in league with the devout believer, and all his infinite resources pledged to the support of his servants?
37794Is not the gospel platform broad enough to afford room for all?
37794Is not the loss of the former sufficient, without adding to it, by your immoderate grief, the infinitely greater loss of the latter?
37794Is the Messiah at length come?
37794Is the alien child enriched by adoption into the royal household, making him heir to the crown?
37794Is the culprit enriched by pardon on the scaffold?
37794Is the disinherited enriched by the restoration of his lost estate?
37794Is the exile enriched by the edict that calls him home?
37794Is the leper enriched by the cure of his foul disease?
37794Is the prisoner enriched by the power that gives him freedom?
37794Is the thought of him ineffably pleasing and joyful to your soul?
37794Is the word of Christ the supreme law of your life?
37794Is their interest as dear to you as your own, their reputation, and the salvation of their souls?
37794Is there a glory in eloquence?
37794Is there a glory in heroism?
37794Is there a glory in letters?
37794Is there a glory in philanthropy?
37794Is there a glory in poetry?
37794Is there a glory in royalty?
37794Is there a glory in science?
37794Is there a glory in the æsthetic arts?
37794Is there nothing better than guns and bayonets?
37794Is there one of us that has not sinned more deeply than David ever did?
37794Is this the spirit of Him who prayed for those who were nailing him to the cross?
37794Is this your experience?
37794It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth?
37794It is opposed to anxiety, which is always taking needless thought for the morrow, saying,"What shall we eat?
37794May not every man hold his own opinion without assailing that of another man?
37794May not the religious culture have been radically defective in its principle or culpably incomplete in its process?
37794Merely an intellectual animal?
37794Must we reject and oppose, as unsound or heretical, every thing that does not happen to fall within the limits of our own particular belief?
37794Nay, do not many of us despise our own mercy, and reject the gracious counsel of God, not knowing the day of our visitation?
37794Nay, what idea can we form of the natural body developing into the spiritual, and all its rudimental powers unfolding in their perfection?
37794No such bond, what becomes of the Church, and what assurance has she of an eternal inheritance?
37794No such memorial, where is the recognized bond, connecting the body on earth to its glorified Head in heaven?
37794Nobler, 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?
37794Now, what is"the evil"from which Christ would have his people kept?--Sorrow?
37794Ought not a common bond and a common condition to produce in them mutual kindness and sympathy?
37794Overwhelmed with love and wonder, the saint exclaimed:"What shall I give thee, sweet child?
37794Persecution?
37794Poetry and philosophy have their charms; but what poetry is like that of the Holy Spirit, and what philosophy like that of redeeming love?
37794Poverty?
37794Presenting 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?
37794Sell the debtor, with his wife and children?
37794Shall Jesus pray in vain for his redeemed?
37794Shall Satan and his servants triumph over the grace of God?
37794Shall all his labor be lost upon you?
37794Shall he fail those who have committed their all to his advocacy?
37794Shall not the master of the garden gather his own fruits, the commander of the army dispose of his own men?
37794Shall souls over which seraphs have sung hallelujahs excite the mirth and mockery of fiends by their fall?
37794Shall the fruit be blasted in the bud?
37794Shall this precious thing perish through your faithlessness to so sublime a trust?
37794Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37794Shall we be like him who, having promised Mercury part of his nuts, ate the kernels himself, and gave the god the shells?
37794So praying, the breath of the Holy Spirit will soon blow the spark into flame; and when the Master asks once more,"Lovest thou me?"
37794Some drink themselves to death, and others grieve themselves to death; who shall pronounce the former more criminal than the latter?
37794Taking the bread and the cup, does he not remind us of his having taken our flesh and blood?
37794Temptation?
37794The agony of such a situation how can we imagine?
37794The apostle saith,"Is any among you afflicted?
37794Then whither shall I go to meet my Lord?
37794Think you any estimate of the number and enormity of our sins can be an exaggeration?
37794Think you by unrighteousness to win the crown of righteousness?
37794To achieve glory and honor?
37794To acquire riches?
37794To augment power?
37794To expel enemies?
37794To extend dominion?
37794To gratify revenge?
37794To liberate captives?
37794To my question--"Was the soldier lying here your son?"
37794To repel invasion?
37794To secure commendation?
37794To subjugate nations?
37794To the rich, commonly, what is more terrible than poverty?
37794To whom will you go for aid, if not to God?
37794To whom, then, will you apply for help, but to your divine and all- sufficient Saviour?
37794Truly loving your Monarch, can you fail to love your loyal fellow- subjects?
37794Trusting in him who thus pleads for his disciples, and seconding his gracious intercession with our own supplications, what have we to fear?
37794Was it not Jehovah in the waters of the Jordan, that cured the leprosy of Naaman the Syrian?
37794Was it not the angel in the waters of Bethesda, that gave them their healing virtue?
37794Was not holy obedience the tenor and tendency of his life?
37794Was there ever a more ingenuous confession, a more thorough contrition, a more profound humility, or a more utter self- despair?
37794What Christian soul does not respond to the sweet words of Milton?
37794What are riches, culture, power, splendor, without his love?
37794What benefit has he ever received from your virtue?
37794What can avail to shake me from my trust?
37794What can it bring you but present trouble and future regret?
37794What can our poor human friends do for us in the hour of death?
37794What claim have you on him?
37794What claim have you upon him for happiness?
37794What could worlds of such friends do for us in the day of judgment?
37794What 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?"
37794What is it then?
37794What is man?
37794What is the end and aim of the gospel ministry?
37794What 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"?
37794What is your life, and what control has any man over his destiny?
37794What meant he?
37794What more at variance with the prevalent ideas of the day?
37794What nobler theme could occupy our thoughts?
37794What obligation pressed or necessity impelled the Saviour?
37794What proof give you, then, of your love to the brethren?
37794What returns shall we make, or how express our gratitude?
37794What saint of Jesus does not thrill to the eloquent strain of Edward Irving?
37794What saith the holy apostle?
37794What saw he in this revolted province of his boundless empire, that he should come to seek and save the self- destroyed?
37794What service have you ever done him?
37794What shall we do, or whither turn, for safety?
37794What value do we set upon the faith which we are not willing to defend-- which we attempt not to teach to the world?
37794What will you do when the ground dissolves beneath you, and the atmosphere around you becomes flame?
37794What, then, are the conditions on which such intimacy of the soul with Christ is to be established?
37794What, then, is this faith?
37794What, then, is to be done?
37794When St. Peter asked--"How oft shall my brother trespass against me, and I forgive him?
37794When 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?
37794When will you seek the throne of grace, if not in time of trouble?
37794Whence this necessity?
37794Where is his love for man, or his loyalty to Christ, who says nothing, does nothing, gives nothing, for the diffusion of this heavenly light?
37794Where will you find comfort, if not in his love?
37794Where, then, is the proper limit, and when does sorrow become excessive, and therefore sinful?
37794Whereunto shall I liken it, or with what comparison shall it be compared?
37794While we contemplate it, hear we not a voice from the excellent glory bidding us take off the shoes from our feet?
37794Who dreams now of warfare in the cause of Christian truth?
37794Who ever more truly loved God, or more honestly sought to serve him?
37794Who has any fear of God, any love of country, any affection for his children, any regard for the welfare of posterity?
37794Who hath not lost a friend?
37794Who hath not sat in the shadow of the tomb?
37794Who here is not athirst?
37794Who 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?
37794Who of all this assembly would, by the acknowledgment of so flagrant an impiety, write himself down with the reprobate?
37794Who says the apostolic office, with its high prerogatives and awful responsibilities, was intended only for a season, and has long since passed away?
37794Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
37794Who shall sing the raptures of an eternal eucharist?
37794Who shall tell the privileges of a celestial priesthood?
37794Who solicited his aid, or repented of his own sin?
37794Who talks of change?
37794Who will presume to question this statement?
37794Who will want him but Satan?
37794Who would frankly confess so base an ingratitude?
37794Who would not quit the scene of toil and strife and danger for the regions of eternal blessedness and peace?
37794Why disquiet yourselves in vain?
37794Why do so many sincere Christians seem often melancholy and unhappy?
37794Why do you hesitate?
37794Why is not the Christian life a perpetual joy?
37794Why should a"wise master- builder"hesitate to connect religion with science and literature in the edification and adornment of the soul?
37794Why, then, should not the believer in Jesus rejoice evermore with joy unspeakable and full of glory?
37794Will God leave to the lion and the wolf the sheep for whom the divine Shepherd cares so lovingly and pleads so earnestly?
37794Will he not hide them in the hollow of his hand, and guard them as the apple of his eye?
37794Will my love bear the ordeal of a faithful and impartial scrutiny?
37794Will not he who clothes the lilies and feeds the sparrows regard your necessities, O ye of little faith?
37794Will not the Father hear the petitions offered in the name of the Son with whom he is ever well pleased?
37794Will not the Good Shepherd provide for his confiding sheep?
37794Will not their meditation of him always be sweet?
37794Will you refuse to pray when prayer is most necessary for you?
37794Will you relish the less the fruit that is left, because some of it was blighted by untimely frost?
37794Will you respond to the appeal?
37794Will you turn your back upon him when you need him most?
37794With a few exceptions of unbelief so blasphemous as to shock ordinary irreligion, are all men truly his friends?
37794With hearty faith, and grateful tears, and earnest obedience?
37794With regard to any undecided course of action, you will not ask,"How will this please others?"
37794Without Christ, what were our knowledge but ignorance, our wisdom but folly, our eloquence but noise?
37794Ye who now like Lazarus have your evil things on earth, will you not hereafter with Lazarus be comforted in Abraham''s bosom?
37794You have plenty of martial courage; where is your moral courage?
37794Your enemies may threaten, but has he not conquered them and nailed them to his cross?
37794Your hopes may perish upon the very verge of victory: what soldier of wisdom ever left the field without the spoils of a vanquished foe?

4952What do you doubt-- God''s power and love, or your own weakness?
4952What, not to rescue that village from starvation? 4952 Where do you find it?"
4952Who 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''"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''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''Did I say I thought I might some day write a book?
4952''Do n''t you see that I must become very different from what I was-- more of a man; to say nothing of the higher and religious side of this question?

4952''My dear, dear Uncle,--How can I thank you enough for telling me so much of dear saintly Mr. Keble and his wife?
4952''My dearest Sisters,--How you are thinking of me this anniversary?
4952''My people say,"Why do you go away?"
4952''No, no; but why not have the summer school here as well as the winter?''
4952''Now, is this Scriptural or not, my dear father?
4952''Such a man might ask,"What do you mean by your theory of Substitution, Satisfaction,& c.?"
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''Tis enough that Thou shouldst care Why should I the burden bear?

4952''You say,"Why do you trade at all?"
4952America, how is that to end?
4952And from what poverty, sickness,& c., here below?"
4952And if they were not friendly, what business have you with your bows and arrows?
4952And if this be so with good respectable folk among ourselves, what must be the effect of altered circumstances on our Melanesians?
4952And is it always the blind admiration at which outsiders smile; is it not rather indifference which is blind, and love which sees the truth?
4952And observe, what should I be without some such change pressing on me?
4952And so, where do I hear of men who have so many comforts, so great immunity from hardship and danger as we enjoy?
4952And whence has it arisen?
4952And why not all men?
4952Are nations less responsible than individuals?
4952Are they published separately?
4952As to beds, was not the whole floor before them?
4952Because He grudges us anything?
4952Better than the mud banks at Felixstowe, are they not, Clara?
4952But are not these the general principles of religion and morality in the Bible?
4952But from that time dear Bishop Patteson roused himself from his natural depression( for to whom could the loss be greater than to him?)
4952But how can I be surprised at that?
4952But how on Jowett''s system can we have positive teaching at all?
4952But how shall I try to teach them to become industrious, persevering, honest, tidy, clean, careful with children, and all the rest of it?
4952But how to do it?
4952But we could not work the vessel by reason of the crowds of natives, and what was I to do?
4952But what a painful book it is: ca n''t he see that he is reducing all that the spirit of a man must needs rest on to the level of human criticism?
4952But what am I?
4952But what can we do?
4952But what shall I say?
4952But where are such men, and where is a tribe not already exasperated by injurious treatment?
4952But where are we to look for the good effects of Republicanism?
4952But who knows anything of me in England?
4952But why attack error without positively inculcating truth?
4952But why enter into details?
4952But why must idle people interfere with busy men?

4952Do these nations believe in the Gospel of peace and goodwill?
4952Do 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?
4952Do you often use the Prayer at the end of the Evening Service for Charles the Martyr?

4952For him, but how can I speak of such as he is?
4952For me, what can I desire more than this place affords?
4952G. P. And He sent His Apostles to baptize in the Name of Whom?
4952G. P.''Who instituted baptism?

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

4952How can he or she know better?"
4952How can we supply teachers at the rate of one for every fifteen or twenty people?
4952How could definite doctrines be instilled into the converts by teachers with hardly any books, and no formula to commit to memory?

4952How could they possibly know that I was not one of the wicked set?
4952How did they express their thoughts?
4952How do I know that I may live another year?''

4952I do n''t see any results from our residence here; and why should I look for them?
4952I expect a severe reproof from you, and pray do not send me any money, nor grant me the slightest[ favour?].
4952I 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?
4952I felt quite sure that prayers were being offered up for us in many places, and where more frequently than at Hursley?
4952I find it a good plan to look on from short periods to short periods, and always ask, what next?
4952I know that, and have known it for years; but how to do it, without neglecting the daily necessary work?
4952I think of all that he has been to me, and yet how can I be unhappy?

4952In the same letter, in answer to some complaint from his sister of want of detail in the reports, he says:''Am I trying to make my life commonplace?
4952Indeed, who can say what may befall me?''
4952Is he below?
4952Is it not a most lamentable state of things?
4952Is it not a significant fact that the god worshiped in Gfera, and in one village of Bauro, is the Serpent, the very type of evil?
4952Is it not right they should be taught as you have been?"
4952Is not one continually struck with his keen sense of the proportion of things?
4952Is not the right way to plant the true seed and nourish it that it may take root, and out- grow and choke the weeds?

4952Meantime, work for me, am I not your superior?
4952Men 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?"
4952Moreover, who can estimate the effect of this German and French war upon the social state of Europe?
4952Most touching, is it not, this entire confidence?
4952Need more be said of him?
4952Nice, is it not?
4952Of course an English person thinks,"Why did n''t he send the bread?"
4952Or what?
4952Perhaps he may be the very one that has been appropriated to some one, and what am I to say then?
4952Poor poor people, who can see them and not desire to make known to them the words of life?
4952Rather rich, is it not?
4952Shall I ask Miss Yonge to give me a copy?
4952Shall I desire or wish to be more sorry than I am?
4952Shall I find dear old Wadrokala and Harper alive, and if alive, well?
4952Shall I give you a day at Kohimarama?
4952Shall I try to make myself grieve, and feel unhappy?
4952Should I die before you die, would it be wrong for me to say,"Make the Melanesian Mission my heir"?
4952Should not we be contented with success like His?
4952Silence again; then Angadhohua asked:''Can not you stop always?''
4952So, 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?

4952The Cathedral has been beautifully restored, has it not?
4952The West Indies, Japan, America, all have the same shameful tale to tell-- what wonder if the same shadow were to be cast over the Isles of the South?
4952The temptations are great, and what can be expected of one or two boys among eighty or ninety heathen people?"
4952The younger people like excitement as much as our young men like hunting, fishing, shooting,& c. How can they get this?
4952Then comes the thought, who is to carry this on?
4952Then he continues:--''But now, do n''t you see, Fan, how good this is for me?
4952There were[ accounts?]
4952They are brought away under false pretences, else why tell lies to induce them to go on board?
4952They are wild with excitement, not to hear"the good news,"but to hear how the trading went on:"How many axes did they sell?
4952They do n''t make the fuss that I did in my low fever when I was so savage with your doves that would go on cooing at my window, do n''t you remember?
4952This move to Norfolk Island?
4952This was sad work, but what could I do?

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?"
44769And can not he pay a small account?
44769And did I say what that one thing was?
44769And do n''t you believe, Sir, in such omens? 44769 And do you consider this a trifling sum to owe one tradesman?"
44769And do you now think that any other but virtuous people will ever be received into heaven?
44769And 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?
44769And does my dear Louisa then prefer the pleasures of religion to those of the world?
44769And does my dear Miss Rawlins feel herself to be a sinner?
44769And have you changed your opinion? 44769 And how does my dear mother sustain the blow?"
44769And how have you decided it, Sir?
44769And how old, Madam, was your grandmother when she died?
44769And if, Madam, it be not an impertinent question, may I be permitted to inquire into the nature of your dream?
44769And is He not immutable in his promises of mercy to those who_ wish_ to return?
44769And is my father dead?
44769And is my husband dead, Sir?
44769And is not Charles Orme a man of probity and virtue?

44769And she really did hear the dog howl some short time before her death?
44769And what do you think of the charges?
44769And what is that penalty?
44769And what may that be, Sir?
44769And who is Mr. Ridout, my dear? 44769 And who is it you have been thinking of?"
44769And why, Emma,here interposed Miss Holmes,"was it omitted?
44769And why, my son,she remonstrated,"did you not let me know of your illness before now?
44769And you are not weary of his service?
44769Are you as good as you can be?
44769Are you sure, Papa, that you are not misinformed?
44769As it is so small, I suppose it is crowded on the Sunday?
44769As this is a new discovery, will you tell me how you made it?
44769As you have asked me a question, will you allow me to ask you one?
44769But are you born again?
44769But can you derive any mental ease from reflecting on a passage which denounces indignation and wrath?
44769But 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?"
44769But do you think, Mary, that every Christian exemplifies the correctness of your remarks?
44769But 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?
44769But have you,said Mr. Reed,"no wish to live?"
44769But how can I pray, when I have no faith in prayer? 44769 But how can we give you up?
44769But how do you expect this great and mysterious change to be brought about?
44769But how is that? 44769 But how so?"
44769But how so?
44769But how will you reconcile such a tremendous state of things, with the acknowledged wisdom and beneficence of the Deity?
44769But 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?"

44769But what reason have I to believe that such gracious words relate to myself?
44769But 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?
44769But why ca n''t he derive his consolations from the religion of the Church of England?
44769But why recriminate on me the guilt of your own sin? 44769 But why, my dear Mamma, should you fear it?
44769But why, when it affords so much gratification?
44769But why, when they display so much ingenuity, are so delightful, and have such a good moral tendency?
44769But will He do it?
44769But will you not admit that God_ can_ turn away his anger from you, and comfort you?
44769But 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?"
44769But, 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?
44769But, Madam, do you never expect to see another happy day?
44769But, Sir,said Mr. Sykes,"what evil can result from giving a few pence to some poor miserable- looking boys and girls?"
44769But,I asked,"may not a Christian leave the ministry of one preacher, to attend that of another, without sustaining or producing any moral injury?"
44769But,I replied,"do you think it wrong to go and hear these ministers?"
44769But,said Mrs. Lewellin,"what shall we do when you are taken from us?
44769Can I see him?
44769Come, ladies,one of them exclaimed,"where have you been rambling to all this time?
44769Dear Sir, do you think he ever pays any attention to us, and such little things as a pleasure excursion?
44769Do you ever feel weary of reading the parts of the Bible you have read before?
44769Do you know him, Sir?
44769Do you know how they got over the difficulties occasioned by the non- production of the register of their birth and baptism?
44769Do you know what this new religion is?
44769Do you think it is a confirmed consumption?
44769Do you think it possible, Papa, that I could be so unwise or so undutiful as to take any important step without consulting you?
44769Do you think that a longer continuance in the country will prove beneficial to the dear sufferer?
44769Do you think, Sir, she can be removed without much inconvenience to herself?
44769From what did you escape, Sir?
44769Had he family prayer, the evening you refer to,_ before_ or_ after_ the games were introduced?
44769Has she her fortune at her own command?
44769Have you any money?
44769Have you been ill long, Madam?
44769Have you been to my homestead?
44769Have you ever read the Bible, Madam?
44769Have 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?"
44769How did you happen again to meet with her?
44769How in the world did he get them then?
44769How long may it be since you first knew the Lord?
44769How much is this small account?
44769How often have you duty performed in it?
44769How so, Madam?
44769How so, my dear son?
44769I can very easily forgive you, dear Miss Rawlins; but will you permit me to ask you why you did not reply?
44769I presume he attends a place of worship?
44769I presume, Sir, he is a man of prayer?
44769I presume, Sir, he is a religious man?
44769I see your curiosity is awakened; but can not you restrain it for a few hours, till you can coax your husband to gratify it?
44769I suppose you wish to go to heaven when you die?
44769I suppose, Farmer, you have thought sometimes during your confinement, about your departure from earth, to be with Christ?
44769I suppose,here remarked Mrs. Lewellin,"the secession of two such gay devotees from the circle of fashion, occasioned some little tumult?"
44769In what point, Sir?
44769Is he living, Sir? 44769 Is it possible, Sir,"Mrs. Lewellin replied,"for us to lose such a pastor and such a friend without weeping?"
44769Is she alive?--Has she spoken?
44769Is this an illusion, or a reality? 44769 Is your disorder, then, of such a threatening character?"
44769It did not, I suppose, fall on you?
44769It is pretty good land, I believe, Farmer?
44769Jane 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?"
44769Of what?
44769One word, Charles,said his mother,"what are you going to do with Miss Collingwood?"
44769Pray, Sir,said Mrs. Holmes,"what is your opinion?"
44769Shall I explain it, Sir?
44769Tell 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?"
44769The Psalmist says,''It hath been good for me that I have been afflicted;''and I suppose, Farmer, you can say the same?
44769Then has my dear Louisa no dread of death?
44769Then 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?"
44769Then you do n''t envy the rich and the noble?
44769Then you do not murmur, or feel disquieted?
44769Then you still believe that when death comes you will cease to exist, and perish for ever like the beasts of the field?
44769Then, Sir, you think you will''shortly put off this tabernacle,''and enter that''house which is not made with hands, eternal in the heavens?''
44769Then, Sir,I replied,"why do n''t you?
44769Then, how can you expect to go to heaven on your own principle of reasoning? 44769 Then, where is he?"
44769Then, why have the sacred writers done it? 44769 Very smart, Sir: then you think such a religion would do me good?"
44769Well, 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?
44769Well, my son, I hope the Lord is dealing graciously with your soul now you are in the dark valley?
44769Were you never in a thunder- storm?
44769What are his difficulties?
44769What book,inquired Mrs. Lewellin,"do you like next to the Bible?"
44769What did your parents say?
44769What fresh evidence of the divinity of the gospel,said Mr. Annesley,"did you receive last night, for I do not recollect advancing any?"
44769What injury can it do the private reputation of a Christian?
44769What woman are you in bondage to?
44769What''s the matter now?
44769What''s the matter, Henry?
44769What''s the matter, girls?
44769Where is he?
44769Where''s Charles?
44769Where''s my sister?
44769Where''s the lady?
44769Where, and when, Sir, may I ask?
44769Who can tell?
44769Who will bear the heavy tidings to our father?
44769Why not, Miss Holmes?
44769Why not, Sir, act on the same principle, on the more important question relating to your soul-- its peace, and its salvation? 44769 Why, Madam?"
44769Yes, I know it; but what has he done?
44769Yes, but what sacrifice of feeling does it require?
44769Yes, my child, he always deals righteously; but is he dealing graciously?
44769You appear unhappy,said her husband, one day, on finding her in tears;"is it on my account or your own?"
44769You do not doubt its reality?
44769You expect, I suppose, that you shall soon get about again?
44769You have no doubts, I suppose, about the certainty of your salvation?
44769You have then no doubt of your final salvation?
44769You refer, I presume, to the omission of her name in the parish registry, recording the fact of her regeneration?
44769You were not at home, I believe, when your son arrived?
44769You 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?''
447693--"And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?
44769A Christian who has not the liberty so much as to think of an ill thing?--Why does he entertain himself with lewd representations?
44769A few hours will decide the long- agitated question--''Am I his, or am I not?''
44769A miracle?"
44769Am I in some fairy land?"
44769Am I to perish like the beasts of the field?
44769And are not Christian parents, in general, too inattentive to this branch of their duty?
44769And are they not, from their age, and experience, and affection, qualified to give advice?
44769And can either of these passions be excited without producing some demoralizing effect?
44769And can we anticipate it with cool indifference?
44769And can you anticipate the solemnities of that day, while continuing in a course of sin, with any other than the most fearful apprehensions?
44769And 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?
44769And could I remember these things, without remembering you and my other pious friends?
44769And have we not encouragement to do this, seeing that God is sometimes pleased to transform the persecutor into a preacher of the gospel?
44769And have you, my Henry, forsaken that Saviour whom, unseen, you loved when you lived at home with us?
44769And if others excel her, or receive more marked attentions, will she not retire from the company stung with envy?
44769And is it not so?
44769And is it you, my dear Miss Rawlins?"
44769And is the wise Disposer of all events about to remove you from amongst us?
44769And is this the only one which the history of crime has given you?
44769And since the mind of man has a natural bent to extravagance, how is it likely to hold out under example and invitation?
44769And what do they say on the question relating to the source of their knowledge?
44769And what has it done for modern Paris, where it exists in the plenitude of its glory?
44769And what is the consequence of this?
44769And who can turn away from such a scene, without wishing to be made a partaker of the like precious faith?
44769And who, beloved brethren, supplies me with the materials for this dramatic sketch?
44769And why do I believe it?
44769And will not the influence of his example have an injurious effect on his children?
44769And will not this excite prejudice in their minds against the clergyman whose ministry they are_ forced_ to attend?
44769And will you remain in a state of indifference, while such solemn events are at hand?
44769And would you suffer them, if they had acquired it, to go alone?"
44769And, after all, what is virtue?
44769And,_ third_, Are his sufferings expiatory-- the meritorious cause of human salvation?
44769Are Miss Susan and Miss Dorothy still alive?"
44769Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
44769Are not these injunctions violated by those who frequent the theatre?
44769Are there no filthy expressions-- no unhallowed jesting on the stage?
44769Are there no idle-- no profane words spoken on the stage?
44769Are 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?
44769Are we ready to step across the boundary which divides the visible from the invisible world, without faltering in our passage?
44769Are you become an alien from every virtuous principle?
44769Are you quite sure that it would be hissed off by a British audience?"
44769Are you such a coward as to care for what others say, when you are doing a thing for your own advantage?
44769As time advances, are you not gradually sinking into a state of mental dejection, from which you see no chance of being delivered?
44769But are you prepared to give an account of the manner in which you have improved his faithful services amongst you?
44769But do not parents sometimes bring upon themselves, and upon their children, the very evils which they are anxious to avoid?
44769But has he not on this occasion acted like one?"
44769But how is it he derives so much consolation from that which gives me none?"
44769But how is this?
44769But is not the exposing of children condemned in that charge against the Romans that they were''without natural affection?''
44769But 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?
44769But there is one question of a more direct personal nature, which I wish to propose, and it is this-- What am I to do?
44769But what is that something?
44769But who can ascertain which ray begins, or which ends the dawn?
44769But who has not been struck with the difference of the impression and effect?
44769But why do they tremble, if they believe she has no power to punish?
44769But, before I touch on this, will you permit me to ask how long she lived after your unexpected interview with her?
44769But, 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?
44769But, if the resources are sufficient to satisfy the demands of justice, has benevolence no claim on the female sex?
44769But, to come to the point, what are the evils which you think result from such scenes of amusement?"
44769Ca n''t you favour me with another?"
44769Can Jesus Christ make me happy?
44769Can no argument produce a conviction of your danger, and can no motive induce you to avoid it?
44769Can not we do what Mr. Stevens did under similar circumstances?
44769Can such a change in your habits take place without having some powerful effect on the state of your affections?
44769Can such persons expect a state of future felicity as confidently as though they had always been virtuous?
44769Can this strange change take place without producing some ill effect?
44769Can we expect to become established in our faith, by going where that faith is perpetually assailed?
44769Can we expect to derive consolation, if we go where the manner in which the message is offered offends our taste?
44769Can 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?
44769Can you favour us with some account of her history?"
44769Can you form any idea how much she is likely to have?
44769Can you hope to gain proselytes to your opinion?
44769Can you tell me the meaning, as I should like to know?"
44769Did George tell you what he says to his mother and me?
44769Did I ever make you a promise, which I have not redeemed?"
44769Did any of the apostles ever condemn the theatrical exhibitions of the times in which they lived?
44769Did the stage ever recover Greece or Rome from their licentious and barbarous rites and ceremonies?
44769Do no corrupt communications proceed from the mouth of players?
44769Do you imagine that he is unable to save you?
44769Do you imagine that the misery of a lost soul is less terrible than the Scriptures represent it?
44769Do you not think that religious people ought to abstain from the appearance of evil?
44769Do you recollect the remark which you made on your return home?"
44769Do you suppose he is unwilling to save you?
44769Do you think he would hesitate breaking off that engagement a single moment?
44769Do you think you are in no danger of being lost?
44769Does Sophia know it?
44769Does it enlarge and strengthen the intellectual faculty, or extend the boundary of our practical knowledge?
44769Does it refine the_ moral_ taste, or call into action the best feelings of our nature?
44769Does it tend to prepare us for our final destiny, as candidates for immortality?"
44769Does no feeling of generous sensibility move in your breast?
44769Does not the apostle, in this passage, commend those to whom it was addressed, for having renounced their former revellings and banquetings?
44769Does not this clearly prove that faith in Christ, and an assurance of an interest in him, are essentially distinct?
44769Does not this passage condemn our going into the assemblies of the ungodly?
44769Does not this prove that the tendency of their professional duties is injurious to their own morals?"
44769Does the shepherd refuse to take back the lamb into his fold, which has happened to stray from him?"
44769Does your moral sense, dear Emma, receive no offence, when you see a person, who makes a profession of personal piety, acting like a worldling?"
44769During all this time that has elapsed, what has become of our friends at Fairmount?
44769Falkland._--"And what may that be?"
44769Falkland._--"But, Sir, do you believe that the apostles approved of every practice which they did not_ expressly_ condemn?"
44769Falkland._--"I grant it, Sir; but will her imagination sustain no injury by the polluting impressions which it will receive?
44769Falkland._--"It may be so; but would you like a son or a daughter to acquire a passion for theatrical amusements?
44769Falkland._--"Then, Sir, if I understand you, it is lawful to introduce any play on the stage which the lord- chamberlain licenses?"
44769Falkland._--"Then, Sir, theatrical amusements will not reclaim extreme profligacy, nor produce virtue where it is most needed?"
44769Falkland._--"Then, Sir, you require a stock of virtue to insert your graft on, or you do not calculate on raising any good fruit?"
44769Falkland._--"Very possibly; but do all who attend the theatre adopt the same judicious maxim?"
44769Falkland._--"What if the persons to whom they wrote had previously renounced them?"
44769For example, are superior intelligence, genius, or wealth, made common property-- to be possessed by men share and share alike?
44769For what influence can an unstable man ever acquire, unless it be the power of doing evil?
44769For what is beauty without life but a fading ornament?
44769For what purpose?
44769From whence did they gain their information?
44769Has a father no personal interest in the preservation of the life and happiness of his child?
44769Has he a mind to discharge his modesty, that he may sin afterwards with the more boldness?
44769Has he not said,''Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out?''"
44769Has it not been admitted, that expressions are sometimes uttered on the stage which the lips of virgin modesty could not utter?
44769Have not many, who have ended their days on the scaffold, traced their ruin to the profanation of the Sabbath?
44769Have they no claim on our benevolent feelings?
44769Have you been as much pleased as you were with the excellent discourse we heard the Sunday before I left home?"
44769Have you ever spoken to her on the subject?"
44769Have you lived here many years?"
44769Have you lost all sense of honour?
44769Have 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?
44769Have you nothing in the shape of a novel?
44769Have you, Sir, on more mature deliberation, been induced to change that opinion?"
44769Have_ they_ never been publicly convicted of crime?"
44769Have_ they_ never broken down the fence that guards the sanctity of domestic virtue?
44769He 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?
44769He has, I see, a chapter on the employment of time; shall I read that, Miss Holmes?"
44769He now gently waved his hand as he repeated the triumphant language of the apostle:--"O death, where is thy sting?
44769How came these men to devise a scheme of religion which is so admirably adapted to the moral state of man?
44769How can we take this cup of sorrow without praying that it may pass from us?
44769How 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?"
44769How did he die?"
44769How did you escape it?
44769How is it that it does not scatter the seeds of virtue among them, and raise it to a high state of culture?"
44769How is this possible, when he is dead, and gone to heaven?
44769How is this?
44769How is this?''
44769How then will you account for finding only the five shillings and sixpence?"
44769How will you account for this rather puzzling fact?''
44769However, waiving all personal remarks, allow me to ask you if you really believe that Christianity will ever become a universal religion?
44769I am commanded to take heed_ what I hear_; and if I disobey this injunction, how can I expect to enjoy the Divine blessing?"
44769I believe you learned at school, dear Emma; did you not?"
44769I 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?''
44769I grant that certain abuses, at various periods of its history, have disgraced this department of the drama; but what then?
44769I 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?
44769I now can see the vanity of the world; but shall I do so when I am again able to go about?
44769I suppose he has told you about the sarmunt that made him feel all at once that he was in a new world?
44769I suppose you have read what Jesus Christ says on this point?
44769I then put the all- important question--''_Do you know anything about Jesus Christ?_''Never shall I forget the effect of this question.
44769I would ask him if he does not often regret the exchange he has made?
44769I would ask, Have you never made the attempt?
44769If she is now convinced that by consummating the union, her happiness for life will be sacrificed, ought she to be compelled to do so?
44769If so, for what purpose?"
44769If 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?''"
44769If some of the clergy are corrupt, will the fact of their corruption diminish the magnitude of the players''vices?
44769If this be not proof against theatrical amusements, what will you call proof?
44769If true, we can account for its origin; but how can its origin be accounted for if it be false?
44769If 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?
44769If you are right, I am on the wrong tack; but what must I do to get right?
44769If you push that which totters already, whither will it tumble?
44769In fact, would not such an attempt, if made, as has happened occasionally in modern times, be considered a proof of insanity?
44769In 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?
44769Is he a more learned or a more virtuous man than you are?"
44769Is he a pious man, or does he belong to the world?"
44769Is he gone without giving me his blessing?
44769Is it a hidden mystery which the great teacher death alone can explain; or is it possible to get the mystery explained before death comes?
44769Is it an oracle which utters truth and falsehood?
44769Is it not a great misfortune that it should come to- day?"
44769Is it not enough for me to bear his unkindness, without having to endure such reproaches?"
44769Is it not that the contracting parties may have an opportunity of judging of their relative fitness for each other?
44769Is it not there that the evil spirits of impurity spread their nets for thoughtless and unsuspecting youth?
44769Is it not to be regretted, that a similar spirit has not been uniformly cherished amongst the disciples of Jesus Christ?
44769Is my preservation from death to be regarded as a little matter?
44769Is she not, Emma?"
44769Is the Bible really such a mysterious book that it is incapable of being understood?
44769Is the Lord''s arm shortened, that he can not save?
44769Is the crime of gaming, or bull- baiting, or of forgery expressly condemned by the Scriptures?
44769Is there not a strong censure against slavery conveyed in the command to''do unto others as you would have them do unto you?''
44769Is there nothing in this that may suit your case?
44769Is this a delusion, or am I waking up out of a mental torpor amidst sublime spiritual realities?
44769Is this a fair specimen of your Christian charity?"
44769Is this favourable to the cultivation and growth of virtue?
44769It is this, Sir: As we have so many religions in this kingdom, which is the best?"
44769It 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?"
44769May I be permitted now, to place your leading assertion, and your last concession, in one sentence?"
44769May they not have become corrupted in the course of time?
44769Moving back, as if from an adder, he said,"Have you been reading it?"
44769Mr. Roscoe, addressing Mr. Guion, said,"Can you, Sir, tell me anything about my old friends the Misses Brownjohn?
44769Must I then, I said to myself, withdraw from the gay world to be happy?
44769Now, Sir, when will you come and give us the sarmunt in the barn?
44769Now, permit me to ask, if the sanctimonious hypocrite is not a more odious character than the profligate player?"
44769Now, what evil can result from such a method of passing away the evening?"
44769O grave, where is thy victory?
44769On what basis can I rest a hope of acceptance?"
44769Ought a female to marry when she feels conscious that she can not be happy with the person who wishes her to become his wife?
44769Our Saviour says--''Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?
44769Permit 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?"
44769Pray, may I have you as a partner, as I see they are getting up a quadrille?"
44769Roscoe._--"And what is it but prejudice, arising from ignorance and misconception, which prevents this cordial union and fraternal attachment?
44769Shall I pray with you, before I leave you?
44769Shall we provide no spiritual comforter, but suffer them to live and die without having one near them to administer the consolations of religion?
44769Should we be calm, like the woodman, who after the toils of the day, goes home to enjoy his rest?
44769Should we be in ecstasy, as when the captive is released from the prison- house of wretchedness, and restored to his home?
44769Stevens._--"How did you meet the difficulties of the case?"
44769Talbot._--"And, Sir, has no unsuspecting family had occasion to rue the day when they received into their friendship the ministers of religion?
44769Talbot._--"Have I not admitted it, Sir?"
44769Talbot._--"Then, how comes it to pass, if it be so, that these men still remain immoral?"
44769Talbot._--"There is, I admit, too much truth in what you now say; and how will you account for it?"
44769Talbot._--"What plays do you refer to?"
44769Talbot._--"Why, Sir, I presume you know that the public often reject plays?"
44769Talbot._--"Why, Sir, are there not many who wear the gown immoral?"
44769The eye of the invalid lady caught hers; she paused, and exclaimed with emotion--"And is it you, my dear Miss Roscoe?"
44769The great question,_ What must we do to be saved?_ answered: see_ An Escape from a False Refuge_( i.
44769The people are honest, industrious, virtuous, and happy; and what reformation do they require?"
44769The real question of difficulty to decide is simply this:--Are they supernatural manifestations, or illusions of the imagination?
44769Then, as you object to the novel, I presume you are equally averse to the card- table?"
44769There are two questions, I apprehend, which have an immediate claim on our attention-- first, What is the design of comedy?
44769They can not attend; and shall we leave them to spend the remainder of their days in a state of spiritual destitution?
44769They may express their opinion, and they often do express it, but of what value or importance is it in relation to the subject?
44769They may say that its tendency is to make us unhappy; but how can they prove it?
44769This simple, artless tale made its way to the heart of Mr. Lucas, who said,"How long have you been in London?"
44769This was followed by several common- place questions-- such as,''What is your name?''
44769Thy sin may be great, and the language of an awakened conscience may suggest, Who can heal me?
44769To whom then?"
44769Was God away from the spot where my friend''s foot slipped?
44769Was it mere chance which gave me a hair- breadth escape from a sudden death?
44769Were they not employed to furnish us with a code of laws for the government of our conduct?
44769Were you intimate with her?"
44769What am I to do, or suffer, to gain peace of mind, and get that new spiritual life, of which you have been speaking?"
44769What human power could have effected such a moral renovation as that which was produced while she was listening to this sermon by Mr. Annesley?
44769What is it for man to perish?
44769What more melancholy sight than this can be presented to the real Christian?
44769What plea can I urge for mercy?
44769What positive thing am I to do, or suffer, to obtain it?
44769What shall we do, for I feel the subject too important to be dismissed?"
44769What think you of this specimen?
44769What will father say if he hears of it?"
44769What, 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?
44769Where is the soul- refreshing view, Of Jesus and his Word?
44769Where, and how, can I obtain it?
44769Wherefore?
44769Who can place any dependence on him?"
44769Who can respect him?
44769Who will bear the heavy tidings to our father?"
44769Why need I mention the levities and impertinences in comedies, or the ranting distractions of tragedy?
44769Why not dismiss your prejudices, and go to the village chapel?
44769Why not make the experiment, which can subject you to no loss, and may lead to a glorious issue?"
44769Why not?
44769Why should any efforts be made to dispossess them of their religion, with its rites and ceremonies, which they inherit from their forefathers?"
44769Why should you continue to linger around the promises of salvation, and not embrace them as the source of your comfort?"
44769Why should you pause?
44769Why then should you doubt?
44769Why these omissions?
44769Why, Sir, what is there in that obsolete book to interest me?"
44769Why, do n''t you recollect what our blessed Lord said,''Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out?''
44769Why, is not a Unitarian compelled to believe what he can not comprehend?
44769Why, what evil has she done?
44769Will her memory carry away no expression which you would rather she would forget?"
44769Will her moral taste sustain no injury by the obscene sentiments and allusions which she will hear?
44769Will not this prove injurious to them?
44769Will she retire as pure from all corrupt associations, as she was when she first entered the theatre?
44769Will you give us another sarmunt in the barn, Sir?"
44769Will you pass on to meet them, as though they were cunningly devised fables?
44769Will you refuse to come to Jesus Christ, that you may have life?
44769Will you resolutely withstand all the efforts which are made to save you from going down to death unprepared to meet your God?
44769Would 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?
44769Would the prophets and apostles have used these expressions if they had been Unitarians believing in Christ''s exclusive humanity?"
44769Would this be an act of wisdom or of discretion?
44769Would you experience additional consternation on perceiving that these barbarians had been instructed in the Christian faith?"
44769Would you like that female to be either your mother, your wife, your sister, or your daughter?"
44769Would you perceive the ingratitude and folly of squandering so precious a deposit?
44769Yes, 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?
44769You have withdrawn from me your love and your society, and will you now in exchange give me your reproaches?
44769You live; but what is that life which you have lived?
44769You object to such compositions, I believe?"
44769You''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?"
44769and against duelling, in the general prohibition of murder contained in the sixth commandment?"
44769and as often condemn himself for his folly and ingratitude in having made it?
44769and as resolutely devote yourselves to the follies and the amusements of the world, as though you were to live for ever?
44769and can you, on cool reflection, suppose that He will ever abandon you, now that you have surrendered your heart to him?"
44769and do you wish, if possible, to sink me into contempt, after having abandoned me and your child?
44769and does he not arm them against the reproaches which their exemplary conduct would bring upon them?
44769and have I lost my father?
44769and have you departed from the ways of the Lord for the pleasures of sin, which are only for a season?
44769and have you made a shipwreck of that precious faith which once filled you with so much joy and peace in believing?
44769and how can he sufficiently deplore such a calamity?
44769and if it be a crime to advance them, can it be less than a crime to receive them?
44769and if it be a crime to utter them, can it be less than a crime to go and listen to them?
44769and if these vices are not to be named amongst Christians, ought they to be sanctioned by them?
44769and in thy name done many wonderful works?
44769and in thy name have cast out devils?
44769and is not that code perfect?
44769and must she be taken from me?"
44769and 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?"
44769and what is that?"
44769and what, on the other hand, is that of those countries, where Christianity has been established?"
44769and whether there was a recurrence of the astonishing responses to your inquiries?"
44769and without exclaiming,"Let me die the death of the righteous?"
44769and yet, Sir, would you venture to appeal to the silence of the Scriptures as a tacit sanction of these vices?
44769and, if so, how do you think it will be propagated through the earth?"
44769and, instead of seeing you accepted in the Beloved, shall I see you banished from the presence of the Lord for ever?
44769and, secondly, Will the desired result be attained through its instrumentality?
44769but do they?
44769does mercy ever employ such terrific forerunners to announce her coming?
44769has he ever employed the stage to turn men from darkness to light-- from the power of Satan to himself?
44769how am I to regain my long- lost peace?
44769is he in prison?"
44769is it an argument against the thing itself, any more than the impositions of priestcraft are arguments against the value of true religion?
44769is that my beloved pastor?
44769or am I to exist in another state of being?
44769or from some secret sign which, like that of the Masonic order, is concealed from every one but the initiated?"
44769or is his ear heavy, that he can not hear?"
44769or may not the writers of them have committed some mistake?"
44769or must we look upon them as a contingent evil, inseparably connected with his mysterious history?"
44769or should we be alarmed, as when the mariner sees the first symptoms of the rising storm?
44769or should we turn pale, and tremble like the condemned criminal, when he hears the first sound of his own funeral knell?
44769or that the happiness of a redeemed spirit is less joyous?
44769or was it for the purpose of redeeming sinners from some fatal danger?
44769or, Who is expected?
44769or, could we realize the calamity in all its extent, what tokens of our compassion and concern would be deemed equal to the occasion?
44769said Alfred, clasping his hands in an intensity of anguish,"And must she die?
44769said I, as I withdrew from the chamber of death; and how can it be?
44769said her brother,"Is she safe?"
44769said the lively young lady,"and did you think so when you received your wound in the head?
44769v. 22);--to have''no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them?''
44769what is honour without life but a bursting bubble?
44769what is wealth without life but a useless substance?
44769what visible evidence do you refer to?
44769when shall I come, and appear before him?''
44769where can I go when he cometh''to execute judgment upon all?''
44769who will bear the heavy tidings to our father?"
44769why do n''t we come to Jesus Christ, and be saved?"
44769why, have you not given him two drafts on your banker, for a considerable amount?"
44769will conscience never reproach her?
44769will she be satisfied and contented?
44769will she have no misgivings?

50586Then Jesus cried,''My God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
50586Then he asked the Pharisees:"Is that not proof enough that I am the Son of God, that I make the dead to arise?"
50586Then he talked to that old fellow for two hours, and then the old scoundrel stroked his whiskers, and what do you think he said?

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?''
44469And are you conscious that you are not fit to die, and yet neglect to think about it? 44469 And did the morning bring relief?"
44469And did you really?
44469And do we not read that he that hath the hope of future blessedness''purifieth himself, even as God is pure?''
44469And do you imagine,replied Mr. Stevens,"that the circulation of the Scriptures without note or comment will endanger the safety of the church?
44469And do you recollect the remark you made on his leaving us?
44469And do you think that a person of affluence and respectability sustains any loss of reputation by visiting the poor and afflicted?
44469And 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?"
44469And how did you come to change your views as to the Bible?
44469And how long have you felt yourself a sinner?
44469And how many brothers and sisters have you?
44469And if you die, where do you expect to go?
44469And is it you, my Henry?
44469And 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?"
44469And 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?"
44469And what is that fact?
44469And what is your father?
44469And where are you going?
44469And where do you live?
44469And where does your boy go to school?
44469And 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?
44469And why not now?
44469And why, Sir,I asked,"were you hostile to them?"
44469And, my dear aunt, was this the only point of difference which you discerned between us and your Tractarian friends?
44469Before I reply to your questions, may I ask if you have any doubt on the question of his sympathy for individual man?
44469But I presume you do not intend, like our modern fanatics, to depreciate learning and intelligence?
44469But 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?
44469But 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?"
44469But can such a discovery, which has plunged me into an abyss of terrific horror, ever lead to any favourable issue?
44469But 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?"
44469But 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?
44469But do you never think of another world?
44469But do you never wish to reside in a town, where you could enjoy an extensive intercourse with the religious world?
44469But do you not suppose that he will go to Broadhurst, and hear our dear Mr. Ingleby next Sabbath?
44469But do you not think,added Mr. Ingleby,"that the spirit of liberality is gaining ground among us?"
44469But do you think that there is any moral evil in it?
44469But do you think,said Miss Roscoe,"that it is possible for a real Christian to possess an atom of bigotry?"
44469But have you any subject to reflect on of equal importance? 44469 But how can we purify ourselves?
44469But how do you know that he hears and answers your prayers?
44469But how have they put down your merry- makings?
44469But 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?"
44469But of two evils is it not the wisest maxim to choose the least? 44469 But on what evidence do you base your belief?
44469But ought we not, Madam, to prepare for death before it comes?
44469But perhaps he thought she was an impostor?
44469But was he not very wicked?
44469But what convinces you that you are not prepared to go into the eternal world; and how long have you entertained such a belief?
44469But what ought I to do? 44469 But what principle would you sacrifice by complying with such a request?"
44469But where,said Mrs. Roscoe,"is the necessity of being always religious?
44469But why did your father deny a request so reasonable?
44469But why do you doubt it? 44469 But why not, when you know you must die soon, and may die to- night?"
44469But why should he care about it, if he did what the church prescribes to be done? 44469 But why?"
44469But 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?"
44469But would you, during this probationary period, depend on your own moral strength to sustain the vital energy of your religious principles?
44469But you have no idea of his leaving my church?
44469But you know that we_ must leave_ it; and as we know not how soon, is it not of importance that we should be prepared?
44469But you say''these things are put down by the Methodists, in spite of you;''what do the people do now?
44469But you will admit that there are fanatics in the church, who hold some strange opinions, which do essential injury to society?
44469But, Sir, after living such a vain life, may I venture to rely on his death for salvation, with a hope of obtaining it?
44469But, Sir, how can you know that he feels sympathy for individual man, unless he tells you so?
44469But, Sir, what must I do? 44469 But, Sir, you will admit that it may be true, though you do not believe it?"
44469But, mamma, would you not save a little child from being drowned, or a widow from being burned, if it were in your power?
44469But, 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?"
44469But, surely,said Mrs. Roscoe,"you do not intend to become a missionary, and transplant us to some province of India?"
44469But,said Josiah, as he stood gazing on the living wreck of his possession,"where is Henry?
44469By what means, then, did Paul convert the heathen? 44469 Can you afford to lose your temper?"
44469Can you read?
44469Can you read?
44469Can you tell me who made you?
44469Can you work in a garden?
44469Can you, Madam, prepare too soon, when you do not know but you may die suddenly?
44469Certainly 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?"
44469Did Mr. Ingleby give her the sacrament and absolution?
44469Did any clergyman visit him during his illness?
44469Did he die, Sir?
44469Did she ever tell it you?
44469Did these new discoveries of truth minister to your relief?
44469Did this severe mental conflict subdue you to the obedience of the Christian faith?
44469Did you always believe in him, and love him?
44469Did you ever know any one driven out of his senses by him?
44469Did you ever think, Sir, of the awful responsibility in which your profession involved you?
44469Did you know Covey, who was wounded in that engagement?
44469Did you know him?
44469Did you long remain in this bewildered and unhappy state?
44469Did you not attempt to pray for mercy to pardon the act of deception you had committed?
44469Did you often pray to be kept from self- delusion, during the time you were engaged in your religious duties?
44469Did you remain for any length of time in this state of mental isolation from all contact with the facts and truths of the Bible?
44469Did you remain long in this state of mental perplexity and distraction?
44469Did you search the Scriptures to see if you could find anything in them to minister relief to your disconsolate heart?
44469Did you tell Mrs. Lobeck where you had been, and what you felt?
44469Did you wish to crush them?
44469Did you, at this period, feel at ease-- quite satisfied with yourself and your condition?
44469Did 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?"
44469Do 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?"
44469Do they really believe this? 44469 Do you ever attend a place of worship?"
44469Do you ever doubt the reality of the spiritual change which you have undergone?
44469Do you ever see them now, Sir?
44469Do you ever think on the subject of death?
44469Do you know how he felt in the prospect of dying?
44469Do you know if Mr. Tennent saw him during his illness?
44469Do you know if he had any hope of salvation before he died?
44469Do you know if your conversion to the Christian faith produced any good effect on any of your former associates?
44469Do you know what became of him?
44469Do you place much dependence on dreams?
44469Do you recollect it?
44469Do you recollect the expression?
44469Do you recollect these petitions?
44469Do you remember any particular passage in the sermon which impressed and affected you?
44469Do 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?"
44469Do you think,said the grief- worn mother,"our child is dying?"
44469Do you, Sir, mean to insult me? 44469 Does he introduce them merely for discussion, or in relation to their practical tendency?"
44469Does his religion make him wretched?
44469Does it not consume that time which ought to be devoted to a more profitable purpose? 44469 Does she neglect her duties?"
44469Does your dear mother know how you are?
44469Exactly 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?"
44469Has it any other bearing?
44469Have they any pernicious influence over others to keep them from church?
44469Have you a Bible?
44469Have you a large family?
44469Have you established family prayer in your family?
44469Have you ever had any conversation with a pious shepherd, who feeds his flock in your beautiful vale?
44469Have you ever heard him preach?
44469Have you ever heard him preach?
44469Have you given her notice to leave?
44469Have you now left the navy?
44469Have you,Mrs. Stevens asked,"had any recent conversation with your papa on religious subjects?"
44469He may, Sir; but has not the Churchman the same liberty? 44469 He was a religious man; was he not?"
44469How can we account for such strange conduct, which is so opposed to the injunctions of the Word of God?
44469How did she die?
44469How do you account for it, Madam?
44469How do you know that?
44469How do you spend your leisure time now?
44469How, then, did you come to know anything about Jesus Christ?
44469How, 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?"
44469I am happy to hear this, farmer; but have you a sermon?
44469I can offer that prayer, and offer it from the depth of my heart; but will Jesus Christ hear it, and will he answer it?
44469I do believe it, and what more is required?
44469I fear,addressing myself to the father,"you are in trouble?"
44469I hope you understand and feel what you read, and what you hear from the pulpit?
44469I 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?"
44469I suppose if you had openly avowed, what you had virtually done, they would have excluded you from their fellowship?
44469I suppose that, though you live secluded from the world, you are sometimes visited by pious friends?
44469I suppose you are much more happy now than you were before you knew him?
44469I suppose you hope to go to heaven when you die?
44469I suppose, Mrs. Pickford, things are now more comfortable at home than they used to be?
44469I suppose, farmer, you would not like to have things changed back again to their former state?
44469I suppose, though, you sometimes think during the week on what you hear at church on the Sabbath?
44469I suppose,said Miss Chester,"you do n''t find that a difficult question to decide?"
44469If, then, you ought to do what master bids you,_ ought you not to do what God commands you_?
44469In what respect did you consider it derogatory to the character of God?
44469Indeed, Madam, and what is the cause?
44469Is Mrs. Roscoe of the same way of thinking with her husband?
44469Is he fond of introducing religious subjects in conversation?
44469Is he very dogmatical in conversation?
44469Is his audience very large?
44469Is it possible? 44469 Is she dying?"
44469Is the old man dead,I asked,"who kept his flock here about six years ago?"
44469Is there any danger, Sir?
44469Is there danger? 44469 Is this dying?"
44469Is 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?"
44469Joyful, 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?"
44469Never calculate on being damned for ever?
44469Now, 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?''
44469Pray, Madam, what amusements would you sanction?
44469Pray, Sir, if a body may be so bold, do I know your friend?
44469Pray, Sir,said Mrs. Stevens,"who is to be interred?"
44469Pray, farmer, have you ever seriously reflected on the worth of your soul?
44469Pray, is he the son of Mrs. Lewellin, who lives in the village of Stenmoor, that you refer to?
44469Really, my dear, I often wonder what you can see in religion to be so captivated by it?
44469Shall I pray with you?
44469Thank you, Sir, for your kindness; I hope Mrs. Stevens is well this morning?
44469That''s very likely; but I suppose you now reflect at times on the worth of your soul, and the possibility of its being lost?
44469Then 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?"
44469Then what led you to embrace the faith which you repudiated with such indignant feelings?
44469Then 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?"
44469Then you are no bigot?
44469Then you can die in peace?
44469Then you can leave father, and mother, and all your brothers and sisters, to go to heaven?
44469Then you merely read your prayers; you did not pray?
44469Then, Madam,I asked, with some degree of surprise,"are your daughters connected with no religious institution?"
44469Then, Sir, was I doing wrong by placing my hope of being saved on my religious life and practice?
44469Then, ladies, you are in want of two servants?
44469Then, ma'', if he will bless me, why does he let me live so unhappy? 44469 Then, must we go without you?"
44469Then,I said,"you have no fear?"
44469There is now, I believe, a change in your views of Divine truth?
44469To conclude: Are they zealous in propagating their doctrines? 44469 To what act do you refer?"
44469True, Sir, but may it not prove a safe passport to heaven?
44469True; but what sort of persons do you now refer to?
44469Very 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?"
44469We hope you will not object to accompany us when we visit our friends?
44469Well, George, how are you?
44469Well, my little fellow, what is your name?
44469Well,said Mr. Stevens,"I hope you will; but what do you intend to do for a livelihood?"
44469Were you trained, Sir, to a belief in the Bible?
44469What course of procedure do they intend to adopt to obviate the evils resulting from the non- registration of these two events-- birth and baptism?
44469What do we more than others?
44469What do you mean by too much religion?
44469What do you understand by coming to Jesus Christ?
44469What is it, my dear? 44469 What is it?"
44469What is there, Madam?
44469What makes her think this?
44469What makes you think so?
44469What makes you think you shall go to heaven?
44469What more, my dear Miss Roscoe? 44469 What must you do to be saved?"
44469What promise of Jesus Christ did she refer to? 44469 What question do you refer to?"
44469What ship,said Mr. Stevens,"were you on board of?"
44469What sort of a gentleman is he?
44469What time did he give to Miss Walcote, who expired just as she had left the card- table?
44469What time do you generally devote to your garden?
44469What was that, ma''?
44469What was the nature of his disease?
44469What, Farmer, are you going to the funeral?
44469What, are you going to part with the old cook who has been with you so many years?
44469What, have you a Sunday- school?
44469What, my father, are these fearful apprehensions?
44469What, then, is the fresh spiritual difficulty that now disquiets you?
44469What,she added, with great warmth of expression,"shall the Divine decree be subject to the control of our freewill?
44469When 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?"
44469Where did you carry him?
44469Where have you been since you got your discharge?
44469Where will they go?
44469Where?
44469Which state,I asked,"should you prefer, if it were left to your choice-- prosperity or adversity?"
44469Who came into the world to save sinners?
44469Who do you work for?
44469Who is the gentleman?
44469Who is there?
44469Who, Sir?
44469Why do you suppose that you are not fit to die?
44469Why not? 44469 Why, Sir, is not that praying?
44469Will you come down to supper, Sir?
44469Will you permit me to ask you one question, What circumstance induced you to come to the chapel the first time you came?
44469Will you tell me what was the means of leading you to receive the faith you once repudiated?
44469Will you,said the father,"go to prayer with us?
44469Would you then rather live and die ignorant of the meaning of the subject, than go and ask him to explain it to you?
44469Would you, then, leave every individual in society to interpret the Scriptures according to his own judgment?
44469Yes, my dear, there is a Divine reality in true religion, which, I hope, you will live to feel?
44469Yes, my dear, they say they are happy; but what pleasure can there be in religion?
44469Yes; do you know him?
44469Yes; it was this--''Should you like to go from the theatre to the judgment- seat of Christ?''
44469You do not feel quite so much at ease in your mind now, as you did when attending to your long established religious customs?
44469You do not,I remarked,"suppose that he is murdered?"
44469You knew her?
44469You may, Sir, but can others?
44469You 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?
4446933)?"
444698,''Remember the Sabbath- day to keep it holy,''would he not understand it?
44469A man of genius?
44469Addressing myself to the child, I said,"Do you think you shall die?"
44469After inquiring for her welfare, he thus accosted her:"What would you now do without a Saviour?"
44469After the second interview with his patient, her mother ventured to say,"Do you think, Sir, the dear creature is dying?"
44469Am I the child of chance, or the offspring of a wise and beneficent Creator?
44469Am I to sacrifice my religious principles to parental solicitation?
44469And can we suppose that he discovers no fresh objects of contemplation and delight when this new power of spiritual vision is imparted?
44469And did you not tell us that we must implore mercy, in terms_ equally humiliating_?
44469And do we not know that the sentence of death has passed upon_ all men, because all have sinned_?
44469And does it not require us to become a peculiar people?
44469And does not the visible creation display the goodness of God?
44469And here two questions demand my attention: first, What moral effects does faith produce?
44469And how is their conversion to be effected?
44469And if tears, the signs of sorrow, should be shed, ought this to excite astonishment?
44469And in what can that peculiarity be manifested but by an entire avoidance of the habits and customs which the world sanctions?
44469And may I hope, dear Sir, without being guilty of presumption, that_ he will save me_ from perishing, and admit me into heaven?"
44469And ought those to be stigmatized as fanatics, and expelled from the church, who_ actually_ believe their own recorded faith?
44469And tell me from what part of the_ visible creation_ has the sound of mercy ever proceeded?"
44469And was it chance that gave to my tongue the sense of taste and the gift of speech?
44469And what MUST we do?"
44469And what more laudable ambition can inspire you, than a desire to be the mothers of the missionaries, confessors, and martyrs of Jesus?
44469And what profit should we have if we pray unto him?"
44469And where the monster''s sting?''
44469And where this passion does glow, what force can extinguish it?
44469And who are those who have recently deserted the church?
44469And who is selected for this novel manifestation of his power and his love?
44469And why is the bird of night more happy than man?
44469And would not your argument apply with equal, if not with stronger force, to the anti- evangelical clergy?
44469And, besides, am I not responsible to God and to society for the influence of my example, as well as for my opinions and principles?
44469And, besides, do you think that poverty will be admitted as an excuse for a neglect of duty?
44469Are all treated alike, and do all stand on the same level, under his administrative providence?
44469Are not children conceived in sin, and shapen in iniquity?
44469Are they conformed to the image of the Son of God?
44469Are we always to live in a state of exile from the charms and fascinations of social intercourse?
44469Are we not told that a tree is to be known by its fruit?
44469Are we to suppose that such men are corrupted by evil principles, and that they are under some fatally evil inclination?"
44469Are you convinced, by an unbiassed and dispassionate investigation of the evidences of Christianity, that the system is false?"
44469Are you crucified to the world by the moral influence of the death of Jesus Christ?
44469As they ca n''t both be right, one must be wrong; which shall I follow?"
44469At length Mrs. Stevens said,"Well, Robert, is your wife still in the body, or in glory?"
44469Believest thou this?''
44469But are you quite sure she is not in a state of delirium?
44469But are your congregations composed exclusively of this description of hearers?
44469But can he proceed without meeting with some formidable resistances?
44469But do they consign all to a state of future misery who do not belong to the Episcopal Church?"
44469But if the pure truth of the gospel becomes corrupted, are we not taught to believe that the people perish?
44469But if they are disposed to mistrust its efficacy in relation to themselves, why not suffer it to remain for the benefit of others?
44469But is this possible?"
44469But now about Mr. Roscoe, what is to be done?"
44469But 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?
44469But shall we say that as soon as they lose their enjoyments they make a shipwreck of their faith?
44469But to return to our subject, may I be permitted to ask you whether you now live habitually free from terror?"
44469But what act of cruelty did the Captain meditate committing against you?"
44469But what attracts his notice?
44469But what is it that you ask of me?
44469But what moral good resulted from this supposed change in his state and character?
44469But what rank of life is free from danger?
44469But who will undertake this herculean labour?
44469But why am I favoured with these mercies of which many others are deprived?
44469But why come to torment me?
44469But why?''
44469But with such facts imprinted on our memory, can we say that such a game is the game of innocence?"
44469But you would not adduce their bigotry as an evidence of their personal religion?"
44469But, ma'', I am under an engagement to take tea with Mrs. Stevens and Miss Roscoe next week-- what shall I do?"
44469Can he forget that the piercing eye of God follows him through all the windings and doublings of his course?
44469Can he shake off the dread of futurity, and bid his dark forebodings cease?
44469Can 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?
44469Can such professors be said to_ adorn_ the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things?
44469Can they both be right?"
44469Can we conceive of anything more puerile, or more calculated to encourage persons to riot in sin, fearless of the fearful consequences?
44469Can we expect forgiveness unless we pray for it?
44469Can you account for this most astonishing part of their conduct?"
44469Can you account for this wonderful change from a dread of death to a desire to die?"
44469Can you be a Christian unless you possess the spirit, and are in some degree conformed to the image of Jesus Christ?
44469Can you explain it?"
44469Can 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?
44469Can you tell me_ what it is, or how it acts_?
44469Did it not startle you?"
44469Did not Jesus Christ urge his hearers to search the Scriptures?
44469Did not Mr. Travers force her out of the house?"
44469Did not the Saviour, when he gave the apostles their commission, say,''Lo I am with you always, even to the end of the world?''
44469Did the clergy listen to it; and did they appear to like it?"
44469Did you ever feel that you loved him?"
44469Did you ever read his treatise?"
44469Did you ever tell pa''about it, and what did he say?"
44469Do n''t you think Mr. Cole a very clever and a very intelligent man?"
44469Do they not partake of our impurity, and can we suppose that they will carry a depraved nature with them into heaven?
44469Do we not read in the Bible that the renewed man has the eye of his understanding enlightened?
44469Do you enforce it by a reference to its own loveliness, and its tendency to promote personal and relative happiness?
44469Do you enforce virtue from an appeal to the authority of God?
44469Do you mean to imply, in this category of their descent, that they are endowed with the same power and authority as the apostles?''
44469Do you not know that your soul, when it leaves the body, will exist for ever in a state of happiness or misery?"
44469Do you think I could ever go and ask him?"
44469Do you think he can, ma''?"
44469Do you think it possible for any argument to convince you that Jesus Christ is not a real being, only an imaginary one?"
44469Do you think that they really disbelieve the truth of Christianity?"
44469Does it not encourage a passion for gaming, which, we know, has involved many in entire ruin?"
44469Does it not frequently give excitement to those passions of our nature which ought to be repressed?
44469Does it not savour of blasphemy to concede to any man an authority to forgive sins?"
44469Does not such an idea supersede the work of the Spirit?"
44469Does not this expression imply that before his renovation his understanding was darkened, through the ignorance that was within him?
44469Does the law of our nature forbid it?
44469For some time he felt unwilling to disturb her, but at length he broke in upon her musings, by asking if she felt indisposed?
44469Goddard?"
44469Guion._--"All pure religion commences in repentance towards God, and can there be repentance without sorrow?
44469Has our Maker spoken to you out of heaven, and told you so: or is it mere guess- work with you?
44469Have not the Lord''s people, in every age, had wicked children?
44469Have they no immoral hearers?
44469Have they no scoffers who visit their temples?--no infidels who commune at their altars?
44469Have they none who set at open defiance the laws of God and man?
44469Have we never heard the parent exclaim,"For this my son was dead, but is alive again; he was lost, but is found?"
44469Have you been born again?
44469Have you had repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ?
44469Have you seen him, or heard of him?
44469He bleeds; for what?
44469He dies; for whom?
44469He often used to say,"Where is the necessity of spending so much money in education, when we got on well enough without it?"
44469He receiveth sinners; but on what terms and conditions?
44469He was asked,''Can these dry bones live?''
44469Hence I presume, Sir, you would very willingly have these parts of our Catechism expunged?"
44469Here I am; but how came I here?
44469His 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?
44469How long have you been ill?
44469How will you account for this?"
44469I am compelled to leave the false refuge in which I have been dreaming of safety; but where shall I find the true one?"
44469I broke from the arms of sympathizing friends, saying,''Where is God, my Maker, that giveth songs in the night?''
44469I 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?
44469I do not approve of teaching young people religion; for who can teach but the Holy Spirit?
44469I entered my closet, and said,''Now, Lord, what wait I for?
44469I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess?''
44469I remember hearing our venerable minister once conclude a sermon with this striking remark:''Are you willing to be saved?''
44469I said to him,"How did you get this tract?"
44469I said to him,''Does not Paul tell us that he began by saving the chief of sinners?
44469I shall preach Christ; and can I preach on any subject so important?
44469I suppose( looking at Mrs. Roscoe) you found the church prodigiously full?"
44469I''ll repeat it to Mr. John Ryder the next time he calls; I wonder what he will say?"
44469If Greece and Rome were subdued by the preaching of the gospel, who can despair of India?"
44469If I die, I must appear before my Judge, and am I( wringing his hands) prepared?
44469If it hath pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell, ought we to object to such an arrangement?
44469If the priest be profane, will not the people abhor the sacrifice?
44469If we addict ourselves to the vices of the age, can we warn the people against them with any hope of success?
44469If we can not believe that_ they would recommend us to do it, ought we to recommend that others should do so_?
44469If you had succeeded, you would have got into heaven without his help; how then could he be your Saviour?"
44469If, then, I can not recommend the adoption of these opinions, ought I to sanction them by my presence, when they are enforced by others?
44469If, 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?
44469Indeed, if your maxim be a correct one, what security have you for the permanent continuance of your belief?"
44469Ingleby?"
44469Is he not a good man?"
44469Is he not a most solemn preacher?
44469Is he not, ma''am, a most beguiling preacher?
44469Is it becoming?
44469Is it possible for me ever to take to this evangelical religion?
44469Is it possible?"
44469Is it right for one sheep to stray into another fold for pasture?"
44469Is it safe?
44469Is it wise?
44469Is life to pass away in a dull, monotonous routine of duty?
44469Is not this a resistless proof of the evil propensity of human nature?"
44469Is religion the only subject which we are forbidden to approach?
44469Is she likely to get any better before death?"
44469Is the conversion of a modern pagan to the faith of Christ more difficult than the conversion of an ancient one?
44469Is the mind never to relax itself amidst the diversions of polished society?
44469Is the moral power of human friendship a fiction or a reality?
44469Is the old man evangelical in his principles?"
44469It is of no avail here to suggest the usual questions--''When did you see it last?''
44469John Roscoe_( addressing her husband).--"I think you must now give up the point; for who can fairly stand against such plain and powerful arguments?"
44469Let us look around us, and what shall we see?
44469Lewellin._--"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?
44469Lewellin._--"I suppose, Sir, you could not lead her into another way of thinking?"
44469Lewellin._--"Of what practical use, Sir, is your act of uniformity?
44469Llewellin?"
44469Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
44469Mr. Guion._--"This is what ought to be done in self- defence, and to satisfy the scrupulous anxiety of others; but who can do it?
44469Mr. Guion._--"Was this gift, in your opinion or belief, transmitted to the intellect or to the heart, or to both?
44469Mr. Ingleby preaches?"
44469Mr. Ingleby._--"As you refer to his style of preaching, I presume he has resumed his pulpit labours?"
44469Mr. Ingleby._--"Did your remarks, Sir, elicit any reply?"
44469Mr. Ingleby._--"How do the people appear to like this new style of preaching?"
44469Mr. Ingleby._--"I suppose, Sir, you heard the Curate preach?"
44469Mr. Roscoe._--"And do you really think so?
44469Mr. Roscoe._--"And what is the second error which you think we hold?"
44469Mr. Roscoe._--"I am satisfied that it does not invariably nor necessarily take place at baptism; but then, when does it take place?"
44469Mr. Roscoe._--"To what spiritual functions do you refer?"
44469Mr. Roscoe._--"What are those_ other_ evidences of regeneration to which you now refer?"
44469Mr. Roscoe._--"What dilemma?"
44469Mr. Roscoe._--"Will you now tell me by what sort of evidence a person who is actually regenerated acquires a satisfactory knowledge of the fact?"
44469Must not these persons be converted before they can enter the kingdom of heaven?
44469Not suffer cards to be introduced?
44469Now, I suppose your fellow- servant understands more about the Bible and about religion than you do?"
44469Now, shall our difference on these points prevent our uniting in its defence?"
44469On its reception or rejection your eternal destiny is dependent, and shall that destiny be endless happiness or endless woe?
44469On seeing Mr. Lewellin, Mrs. Stevens said,"Is your mother still living, my dear George, or has she left us?"
44469One thing puzzles me when I think about it-- why do our bishops consecrate such men?"
44469Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''
44469Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''
44469Pickford?"
44469Pickford?"
44469Pray, Sir, shall we have the pleasure of meeting you and Mrs. Cole at Mr. Ryder''s on Tuesday?
44469Pray, how did Mr. Roscoe like his preaching?
44469Prejudice led Nathaniel to exclaim, when the advent of the Saviour was announced to him,''Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?''
44469Roscoe''s?"
44469Roscoe._--"And may not a person acquire a high degree of virtue even while he is destitute of every_ religious_ principle?
44469Roscoe._--"And why should you doubt their sincerity?
44469Roscoe._--"Are high church principles held by any very considerable number of the evangelical clergy?"
44469Roscoe._--"But do you not believe in the necessity of regeneration?"
44469Roscoe._--"But would it ever have been destroyed if we had not done it?
44469Roscoe._--"Perhaps it may; but ought I, by my presence, to sanction opinions which I believe to be erroneous?"
44469Roscoe._--"What follows is equally, if not more objectionable:--''_Question._--What did your godfathers and godmothers then for you?
44469Roscoe._--"Why so?"
44469Roscoe?"
44469S----s?"
44469Sceptics do n''t expect to go to heaven, do they, mamma?"
44469Secondly, Have these effects been produced in me?
44469Shall an apprehension of deserved wrath awaken no terror?
44469Shall he abandon you to your irreligious course, and leave you to perish?
44469She paused, and then said,"Do you think that I may be permitted to see her?"
44469She took up her wages, and said,''Who taught me to speak untruth?
44469Should we not avoid precipitation in a matter of such importance?"
44469Should you like to leave the gaieties of this world, to associate with the awful realities of another?''
44469Some degree of perplexity is felt to account for them; but the most perplexing question is, How can relief be obtained?"
44469Some 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?
44469Some 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?
44469Suppose 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?
44469Suppose the Sabbath were abolished for a few weeks-- in what state, think you, would some of you find your minds?
44469Suppose your master was to tell you to fetch up the cows from yon meadow, would your poverty be an excuse for not doing it?"
44469Take the_ bosom_ of friendship; is there no moral power in the suppressed groan or noiseless sigh?
44469Take the_ countenance_ of friendship; is there no moral power in the bland and bewitching smile?
44469Take the_ hand_ of friendship; is there no moral power in the hearty shake or gentle squeeze?
44469Take the_ look_ of friendship; is there no moral power in the movement and soft beaming of the eye, especially in the falling tear?
44469Take the_ tongue_ of friendship; is there no moral power in its expressions of sympathy, or its promises of fidelity?
44469That will do, wo n''t it, ma''?"
44469The 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?"
44469The pathetic tones in which this sentence was uttered-- there He bleeds, and there He dies; for what?
44469The question is, How can it be detected before the discovery comes too late for correction?
44469The writer of the book of Proverbs says,''The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a_ wounded spirit who can bear_?''
44469Then this ordinance stands like a monument erected at the time when the event occurred, to commemorate it, and to perpetuate the remembrance of it?"
44469There this illustrious Prince bleeds, and there He dies; for what?
44469There was, I believe, a large secession at Manchester some few years ago?"
44469To 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?
44469Two messengers from the celestial world break the silence of ecstatic wonder, saying,''Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
44469Was I doing wrong by doing this?"
44469Was it by the exhibition of miracles?
44469We are told that''the poor shall never cease out of the land;''and can poverty exist unattended by its consequent evils?
44469We have but little light; and why should they try to put it out?
44469We know that we can not command a future harvest, but does that conviction prevent our sowing the seed?"
44469We shall all be one in heaven, and why not all one on earth?"
44469What adulterer could expect to elude the penalty of his crime after witnessing such a spectacle of justice and of benevolence?"
44469What are the proofs of such regeneration as a qualification for confirmation?
44469What 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?"
44469What attainments can he then propose?
44469What can I do now?"
44469What can I do?"
44469What can be the reason why I am so cast down and wretched?''
44469What can the believer do when dying?
44469What can you do now to insure success?"
44469What did he do?
44469What does the doctor say?
44469What effect did it appear to produce?"
44469What gratification can success in such a species of destructive labour afford you?
44469What heart would ever glow with love to God, unless that passion be enkindled as with a live coal from off his own hallowed altar?
44469What influence have her religious principles over her temper?"
44469What is this but interdicting the visit of mercy, and dooming a sinner to pass into the eternal world unprepared to die?
44469What is this but virtually acknowledging that our church is not established on the foundation of the apostles and prophets?"
44469What law, either human or divine, is violated by such a decision?
44469What more can I desire?
44469What ought I to do?"
44469What proof can you bring of this?"
44469What qualifications can he then acquire?
44469What was the subject of his discourse?"
44469What was this, Sir, but proclaiming the jubilee of vice and the armistice of virtue?"
44469What wild project next?
44469What will it avail us then whether riches or poverty, rank or_ meanness_, has been our portion here?
44469What, in your judgment, are the spiritual advantages which are connected with the regular observance of the ordinance of the Lord''s Supper?"
44469What, then, were the ordained means of conversion?
44469When I came into your service, I came uncorrupted; I abhorred a lie, but did you not compel me to the habit?
44469When 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?
44469When we came to the cross- road where we were to leave each other, he said,"Do you, Sir, remain at Fairmount much longer?"
44469When, Madam( addressing Mrs. John Roscoe), do you leave?"
44469Where can we find an antidote for human misery?
44469Where do you now attend?"
44469Where is the doctrine of a Divine life begun in baptism and perfected in confirmation?
44469Where is the doctrine of the_ regeneration_ of baptized infants in the Acts?
44469Where is the equity of such a decision?
44469Where shall I find another father?
44469Where shall I find another home?
44469Where shall I find happiness when my parents cease to love me and regard me as their daughter?"
44469Where shall I find it?
44469Where shall I find it?--in human friendship?
44469Where the principle of grace is implanted, is it not represented as reigning through righteousness unto eternal life?"
44469Where would be the equity or the expediency of such a measure?
44469Where, Sir, are you going, if one may be so bold to ask?"
44469Who can avoid its excitement when an object of distress is seen, or a tale of woe narrated?
44469Who can compel me to believe any system of opinions?
44469Who can look abroad without seeing occasion to deplore their pernicious effects?
44469Who could believe such lips could praise, Or think my dark and winding ways Should ever lead to thee?
44469Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
44469Who, of all the human family, would ever seek redemption through the blood of Christ, unless impelled by an invisible force?
44469Why am_ I_ not happy?
44469Why did you conceal your illness from me?"
44469Why do they acknowledge, on their knees before God, what they deny to man?
44469Why not let things remain as they always have been?"
44469Why refuse to admit that Jesus Christ is the medium through whom all the designs of mercy and grace, in relation to man, are accomplished?
44469Why, then, proudly arrogate to yourself the possession of knowledge which you know that it is impossible for you to acquire?
44469Will Caiaphas, the high- priest, ever forget rending his clothes, and accusing him of blasphemy, because he admitted he was the Son of God?
44469Will Judas ever forget taking the sop, and then going deliberately away to receive the reward of treachery?
44469Will Pilate ever forget when the Lord of glory stood as a criminal at his tribunal?
44469Will a person ever put such a question till he_ feels_ that he is in danger of being lost?"
44469Will he ever forget the tortuous question, which still vibrates on his ear--''_Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss_?''
44469Will our bishops?
44469Will our clergy?
44469Will the jocund laugh, the merry dance, the enlivening strain of earth''s sweetest music, soothe the heart overburdened with deepest sorrow?
44469Will you come, Sir, some Wednesday night while you are here, and give us a prayer and a sarmunt?
44469Will you speak to me then if you should happen to see me there?"
44469Would it be wise to act in opposition to such authority?
44469Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?''
44469You and the Saviour are both of one mind, and who can separate you?''"
44469You say, Sir, there is no other world; I should like to know how you happen to know this?
44469You will come and take pot- luck with us before you leave Fairmount?"
44469You 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?"
44469a man of Platonic virtue or of Socratic fame?
44469a man of rank?
44469and Christians?"
44469and by what power are these desires and purposes cherished and nurtured in your heart?
44469and could we calculate on receiving his benediction--_Well done, good and faithful servant_?"
44469and for whom?"
44469and in thy name done many wonderful works?
44469and in thy name have cast out devils?
44469and is not the moral renovation of our nature of equal importance?
44469and ought a disciple to go where his Lord would not go?
44469and why do I not enjoy life when I possess so amply the means of enjoying it?
44469are any immoral persons ever permitted by a clergyman to partake of the Lord''s Supper?
44469are they not rather the consequences of fanaticism?"
44469be you zealous in opposing them; are they zealous in gaining proselytes?
44469be you zealous in reclaiming them; are they zealous in putting an end to all the innocent enjoyments of social life?
44469do n''t you consider that a great wonder, Sir?"
44469do you really think so?
44469exclaimed Mrs. Stevens;"was it not too much for your feelings?"
44469have you been to the sun, and the moon, and all the stars, and every where else to see?
44469if he were to die, where could I ever find rest?
44469if 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?
44469in what particular?''
44469or a hope of redeeming love inspire no joy?
44469or can you do it with formal indifference?
44469or shall he come to heal you, to guide you, and to comfort you?"
44469or 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?
44469said Sir Harry,''does your boy go to her school?''
44469that may be very proper, but I think that we have nothing to do with it, and therefore, why should we trouble ourselves about it?
44469the amiable Mrs. Stevens a dangerous companion?
44469were you able to speak any words of peace to his soul?"
44469what is it that gives buoyancy to his hope, and calmness if not ecstasy to his feelings?
44469why should I fear?
44469why?"
44469would it be in accordance with the will of the Lord Jesus?
44469would it be safe?
44469you seem agitated, has anything alarmed you?"
38162Am I a new creature? 38162 Good- bye"treads on the heels of"How do you do?"
38162He that formed the eye, shall He not see?
38162How do we do?
38162Is any afflicted among you? 38162 Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
38162Sir,she said, in a loud voice,"Are you happy?"
38162To whom do you live? 38162 What is that to thee?
38162What is_ zeal_ in religion?
38162Where is charity?
38162Wherefore standest thou without?
38162Who art thou that judgest another?
38162Why do you say that?
38162''Are you afraid to die?''
38162( 1) And now, in concluding this paper,_ let me ask every one who reads it Whose child are you_?
38162( 1) First of all, how are you_ using your time_?
38162( 1) In the first place, Is your religion a matter of form and not of heart?

38162( 2) Secondly, where_ shall you be in eternity_?
38162( 2)_ If you are not a son and heir of God, let me entreat you to become one without delay._ Would you be rich?
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( 4) Lastly,_ would you be happy_?
38162( 4) Let me ask, in the fourth place,_ whether we have received the forgiveness of our sins_?

38162)[ 18]--Who does not remember the Apostle Paul''s words about charity?
38162--"What is our life?
38162--Do they interfere with his private religion?
38162--How is it with us?
38162--Once more I ask,"What shall we say to these things?"

38162--_Thomas Watson._ 1660 Who is there among the readers of this paper that knows his heart is not right in the sight of God?
381625, 1658._) What would this good man have said if he had lived in our times?
38162A passage of Scripture like this parable ought surely to raise in many an one great searchings of heart.--"What am I?
38162A wicked woman was overheard in the streets of London saying to a bad companion,"Come along: who is afraid?
38162Am I a holy man?"
38162Am I prepared to leave the world?
38162Am I really one with Christ, and a pardoned soul?"
38162Am I treated as I deserve?"
38162Among the lost or among the saved?
38162And Nathaniel said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
38162And after all,"Who gave thee any faith at all?"
38162And after all,"Who told thee thou hadst any sins?"
38162And by what means was all this miserable darkness cleared away?
38162And can you suppose the Lord Jesus Christ is less merciful and less compassionate?
38162And does not this stand in perfect harmony with all the language of Scripture on the same subject?
38162And how can we know God without prayer?
38162And how did He arm them for this battle?
38162And how did these men of one book prosper?
38162And is Christianity like this real?
38162And is such Christianity as this real?
38162And is such Christianity as this real?
38162And is the Christianity of these people real?
38162And is the religion of these people real Christianity?
38162And is there not a striking and painful difference between this language and the habits and feeling of society about money?
38162And now, after 4,800 years, what more can be said of the greatest among ourselves?
38162And 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?
38162And they ask us, when this is the case, what becomes of the Bible''s boasted power?

38162Are there no sick, no poor, no needy, whose sorrows we might lessen, and whose comforts we might increase?
38162Are there not many of them yet outside the gate, unforgiven, unsanctified, and unfit to die?
38162Are these your feelings about sin?
38162Are they things to which you give a cold assent, and tolerate them as proper and correct?
38162Are we free?
38162Are we living like disciples of Him who always"went about doing good,"and commanded His disciples to take Him for their"example"?
38162Are we never so much at home as in their company?
38162Are we not no better than mere cumberers of the ground?"
38162Are 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?
38162Are we to be judges of what ought to be in the Word?
38162Are we to come out from the world, or are we not?
38162Are you a Christian in business, and on week- days, and by your own fireside?
38162Are you a new creature?
38162Are you a young person?
38162Are you among the wheat, or among the chaff?
38162Are you at peace with the worm and the fire?
38162Are you forsaken by friends?
38162Are you free?
38162Are you free?
38162Are you free?
38162Are you happy?
38162Are you looking simply to Christ for pardon and life eternal?
38162Are you misrepresented and calumniated?
38162Are you one of them?
38162Are you one of these?
38162Are you or are you not one of Christ''s friends?
38162Are you overcoming the world, or are you overcome by it?
38162Are you persecuted?
38162Are you poor?
38162Are you prepared?
38162Are you preparing to meet God?
38162Are you prosperous in the world?
38162Are you ready for it?
38162Are you sure that, with all their appearance of religion, they are born again and converted to God?
38162Are you tempted to fancy that if you had the rich man''s place you would be quite happy?
38162Are you tempted to make the Lord''s Supper override and overshadow everything in Christianity, and place it above prayer and preaching?
38162Are you that man?
38162Are you that man?
38162Are you that man?
38162Are you the child of nature or the child of grace?
38162Are you the child of the devil or the child of God?
38162Are you vile in your own eyes, and willing to take the lowest place?
38162Are you wasting time, or turning it to good account?
38162Are you wearied in body and grieved in spirit?
38162Are you willing to put your soul into Christ''s hand?"
38162Are you young?
38162Art thou really sensible of thy guilt and vileness?
38162Ask him if he so thinks about the watch he looks at, the bread he eats, or the coat he wears?
38162Ask him if he will give up the little bit of religious hope which he has attained?
38162Ask 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?
38162Ask him if it came together at first by luck and accident?
38162Ask yourself what kind of gatherings you like best here upon earth?
38162Ask yourself whether you really love the assembling together of God''s people?
38162At what period shall the gate of salvation be shut for ever?
38162Bought 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?
38162But HOW can sinful men like ourselves become sons of God?
38162But I ask any real Christian, Is it not true?
38162But 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?
38162But all the time they never ask themselves,"What is all this to me?"
38162But are they not true?
38162But are we any better for it?
38162But are we ourselves free?
38162But are you sure that these people you speak of are true believers in Christ?
38162But 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?
38162But do you not see that the reality of death is continually forbidding us to use other language?
38162But does sickness confer the benefits of which I have been speaking on only a few?
38162But is not an acknowledgment of our own ignorance the very corner- stone and foundation of all knowledge?
38162But is not this exactly in keeping with the history of the judgment, in the twenty- fifth of St. Matthew?
38162But is there meanwhile no home for our souls?
38162But is there no better"gathering"yet to come?
38162But is this true?
38162But still this is not a straightforward answer to my question.--Are you wheat or are you chaff?
38162But what do their faces tell us as they hasten to their posts?
38162But what is it to you and me what man thinks in religion?
38162But what saith the Scripture?
38162But what shall we say of the man who is ashamed of Him who died for him on the cross?
38162But where is it said that none shall be saved except their faith be great?
38162But where is the sin, or the heap of sins, that the blood of Jesus can not wash away?
38162But where will the man hide his head at last who neglects such glorious encouragements?
38162But where will you be?
38162But who can find a man who would lay down his life for those that hate him?
38162But who can wonder?
38162But who can wonder?
38162But who can wonder?
38162But who that reads the parable to the end can fail to see that in the highest sense Lazarus was not poor, but_ rich_?
38162But who that reads the story through can fail to see that in the highest and best sense the rich man was pitiably_ poor_?
38162But why need I stop short in Bible examples?
38162But why should I dwell on these things?
38162But why should all this surprise us?
38162But why should we look at facts in history?
38162By what right do you talk in this way?
38162Can God be a God of mercy, when He permits disease?
38162Can 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?
38162Can 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?
38162Can he do nothing but hear, and see, and smell, and taste, and feel?
38162Can it be reconciled with the religion of Him who spoke the parable of the good Samaritan, and bade us"go and do likewise"?
38162Can it be said indeed that reality is rightly esteemed among Christians?
38162Can there really be such mighty harm in these things?
38162Can this be right?
38162Can we imagine that He who formed our world in such perfect order was the Former of needless suffering and pain?
38162Can we really suppose that people are praying against sin night and day, when we see them plunging right into it?
38162Can we suppose for a moment that God created sickness and disease at the beginning?
38162Can we suppose they pray against the world, when they are entirely absorbed and taken up with its pursuits?
38162Can we think that He who made all things"very good,"made Adam''s race to sicken and to die?
38162Can we think they really ask God for grace to serve Him, when they do not show the slightest desire to serve Him at all?
38162Can you doubt for a moment that He abhors everything that is not genuine and true?
38162Can you reflect calmly on all the omissions and commissions of by- gone years?
38162Can you think He would suffer on the cross and die, and yet leave it uncertain whether believers in Him would be saved?
38162Consider, as you travel through every chapter,"How does this affect_ my_ position and course of conduct?
38162Could we have been saved without the Lord Jesus Christ coming down from heaven?
38162Did He leave it to our discretion whether we would attend to His injunction or not?
38162Did He mean that it did not signify whether His disciples did or did not keep up the ordinance He had just established?
38162Did the Apostle only mean in these texts, that circumcision was no longer needed under the Gospel?
38162Did they come from nature?
38162Do I believe?"
38162Do I cast myself on Him?
38162Do I mean everybody who goes to church or chapel?
38162Do I mean everybody who professes an orthodox creed, and bows his head at the belief?
38162Do I mean everybody who professes to love the Gospel?
38162Do I not speak to your heart?
38162Do I really believe on Christ?
38162Do I say that all true Christians are equally happy?
38162Do I say that real true Christians are equally happy at all times?
38162Do I want them to come to the Lord''s Supper as they are?
38162Do I wish them to come to the Lord''s Supper?
38162Do tears rise unbidden in your eyes when you mark the empty places round the fireside?
38162Do they hate the sins which Jesus died to put away?
38162Do they take up too much of his thoughts and attention?
38162Do we ever try to do any good to any one beside our own friends and relatives, and our own party or cause?
38162Do we feel our hearts burn within us at the thought of His dying love?
38162Do we feel that we are never so happy as when we are with the"excellent of the earth?"
38162Do we find His name precious to us?
38162Do we find it sweet to work for Christ, and yet groan being burdened by a feeble body?
38162Do we find the world empty?
38162Do we know anything of genuine Samaritan love to others?
38162Do we know anything of it?
38162Do we know better than God?
38162Do we long for a world in which we need not to be always watching and warring?
38162Do we long for entire conformity to the image of God?
38162Do we long for the filling up of every void place and gap in our hearts?
38162Do we not require our children to learn many things of which they can not see the meaning at first?
38162Do we often feel"faint though pursuing?"
38162Do we want_ a friend in need_?
38162Do we want_ a loving and affectionate friend_?
38162Do we want_ a mighty and powerful friend_?
38162Do we want_ a tried and proved friend_?
38162Do we wish to grow in grace and be very holy Christians?
38162Do you ask the reason, of this name which the Bible gives to the company of all true Christians?
38162Do you delight in the Bible?
38162Do you doubt the truth of all I am saying?
38162Do you feel labouring and heavy- laden?
38162Do you feel lonely and desolate as every December comes round?
38162Do you find few to pray with, few to praise with, few to open your heart to, few to exchange experience with?
38162Do you find it essential to your comfort to read the Bible regularly in private, and to speak to God in prayer?
38162Do you find nothing there to make you zealous,--to make you earnest about your soul?
38162Do you know anything of feelings like these toward Jesus Christ?
38162Do you know anything of the grace of which I have been speaking?
38162Do 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?
38162Do you learn increasingly, that heaven is becoming every year more full and earth more empty?
38162Do you loathe heart- sins, and fight against them?
38162Do you long for perfect holiness, and follow hard after it?
38162Do you love Christ''s people?
38162Do you love Christ?
38162Do you read it?
38162Do you secretly think in your own mind that I take too gloomy a view of the world?
38162Do you serve Christ?
38162Do you think He does not desire to bring many sons to glory?
38162Do you think that my assertions are extravagant and unwarrantable?
38162Do you try to do good to the world?
38162Do you want_ a friend in deed_?
38162Do 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?
38162Do you wrestle in prayer?
38162Do you yourself really feel happy?"
38162Do your fine new notions give you much comfort?
38162Does Christmas, for instance, bring with it sorrowful feelings and painful associations?
38162Does a man live in charity towards others?
38162Does a man put his trust in Jesus Christ as his only hope of salvation?
38162Does a man read or travel much?
38162Does a man truly repent of sin and hate it?
38162Does all around and before you seem bright, and cheerful, and happy?
38162Does any man suppose that Jesus is not willing to see His garner filled?
38162Does 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?
38162Does any reader of this paper desire a perfect Church?
38162Does any reader of this paper want a real friend?
38162Does anyone ask how and in what way Christ has obtained these mighty privileges for His people?
38162Does he apply to ministers for a solution?
38162Does he never feel pain, and shed no tears?
38162Does he settle down quietly in some English or Scotch parish?
38162Does this come home to you?
38162Does this come home to you?
38162Does this come home to you?
38162Does this come home to you?
38162Does this surprise any reader?
38162Does your conscience tell you that you are one of the persons I speak of?
38162Dost thou read it?
38162First of all,_ what is this family_?
38162For what do we declare at the Lord''s Supper?
38162From whence will you fetch your consolations?
38162HOW READEST THOU?
38162HOW READEST THOU?
38162HOW READEST THOU?
38162Has any one little or no money who reads these pages?
38162Has any one money who reads these pages?
38162Has he a body only?
38162Has he no anxieties and no troubles?
38162Has he no doubts and no fears?
38162Has he no sorrows and no cares?
38162Has heart- religion even been popular in the professing Church of Christ during the last eighteen centuries?
38162Has heart- religion ever been popular in our own land in days gone by?
38162Hast thou a truly broken and contrite heart?
38162Have I any home to look forward to in the world to come?
38162Have I charity?"
38162Have I put off the old man and put on the new?
38162Have death, and sickness, and disappointment, and poverty, and family troubles, passed over your door up to this time, and not come in?
38162Have they a secularizing effect on his soul?
38162Have they a tendency to pull him down to earth?
38162Have you a happy home?
38162Have you any desire to prove the reality of your charity,--that blessed grace which so many talk of, and so few practise?
38162Have you been born again?
38162Have you come out from the world?
38162Have you ever felt your sins, and repented of them?
38162Have you forgotten that it is_ not fashionable_ to pray?
38162Have you forgotten that it is_ not natural_ to any one to pray?
38162Have you forgotten_ the deaths that many die_?
38162Have you forgotten_ the lives that many live_?
38162Have you made a covenant with death and hell?
38162Have you no desire after heaven?
38162Have you no fear of eternal torment?
38162Have you no sins to be pardoned?
38162Have you put off the old man, and put on the new?
38162He can be touched with the feeling of your infirmities, for He suffered Himself being tempted.--Are you alone?
38162He can look down even into the grave, as the wisest Greeks and Romans could never do, and say,"Oh, death, where is thy sting?
38162He compels them to think, whether they like it or not--"What are we doing?
38162He has a soul.--Has he sensual faculties only?
38162He has the well of truth open before him, and what can he want more?
38162He must try all religious teaching by one simple test,--Does it square with the Bible?
38162He replied,--"If he sees us there, I am sure he will say, as he does now,--''What are these boys doing here?
38162He said to Him,"Lord, are there few that be saved?"
38162He who said to the man without the wedding garment,"Friend, how camest thou in hither?"
38162He will be often asking himself, What must I believe?
38162He will discover that different persons give the most different answers to the important question, What shall I do to be saved?
38162He will simply ask, What saith the Scripture?
38162Hear how He converses, as He dines on the shore of the sea of Galilee:"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me?"
38162Hear what the prophet Isaiah says:"To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me?
38162High 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_?
38162How can I do that which is most edifying to others?"
38162How can I help to set them free?"
38162How can it be explained?
38162How can it be explained?
38162How can it be, if He is to find wheat and chaff side by side in the day of His second coming?
38162How can it show forth its gratitude?
38162How can these things be?"
38162How can we account for it?
38162How can we do most good with our money while we are here?
38162How can we expect to be saved by an"unknown"God?
38162How can we so spend it as to leave the world somewhat happier and somewhat holier when we are removed?
38162How can you possibly be happy in an eternal heaven, where holiness is all in all, and worldliness has no place?
38162How could it do more?
38162How could that man enjoy the meeting of true Christians in heaven who takes no pleasure in meeting true Christians on earth?
38162How indeed will you escape if you neglect so great salvation?
38162How is it with ourselves?
38162How is it with you?
38162How is it?
38162How is this?
38162How much Evangelical religion is completely unreal?
38162How readest thou?"
38162How shall a man make sure work of his own sonship?
38162How shall he find out whether he is one that has come to Christ by faith and been born again?
38162How shall man and God be brought together?
38162How shall man ever draw near to his Maker without fear and shame?
38162How shall we account for it?
38162How shall we get through this valley of tears with least pain?
38162How shall we learn to bear sickness patiently, when sickness comes to our turn?
38162How then and when does this mighty change and translation come upon men?
38162How then can we account for the strong language used in Scripture about it?
38162How will they bear God''s inspection?
38162I am sure it deserves an answer,"What will you do when you are ill?"
38162I ask again, Where is your zeal for the glory of God?
38162I ask him whether it be not true that nothing damages the cause of religion so much as"the world"?
38162I ask whether you have gone up to it, knocked at it, been admitted, and_ are now inside_?
38162I ask you, What will you do when you are ill?
38162I ask you, then, in all affection, Where is your zeal in religion?
38162I ask,_ Is this zeal?_ Would the apostles have been satisfied with such a state of things?
38162I ask,_ Is this zeal?_ Would the apostles have been satisfied with such a state of things?
38162I 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?
38162I charge you, I summon you to give me an honest answer this day,--What art thou doing with the Bible?
38162I fear that heaven would be no place for an uncharitable and ill- tempered man!--What said a little boy one day?
38162I 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?"
38162I only ask, Is it not so?
38162I put it to his conscience whether he did not see great landmarks and principles in it all the way through?
38162I there find the inquiry made,"What is required of them who come to the Lord''s Supper?"
38162I 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?
38162I will rather ask you whether you yourself may not be the cause why believers look grave and serious when you meet them?
38162I would fain have no one lay down this paper unable to answer the questions,--"What practical lesson have I learned?
38162If not, with what face shall we meet Him in the judgment day?
38162If sickness can do the things of which I have been speaking( and who will gainsay it?
38162If we carry our Master with us wherever we go, who can tell but we may"save some,"and get no harm?
38162If you are not inside, what good have you got from your religion?
38162If you have( and who will dare to deny it?
38162In an age like this it is well to ask,"How do we do about our souls?"
38162In such a matter the only point is, What saith the Scripture?
38162In 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?
38162In the first place,_ why was the Lord''s Supper ordained_?
38162In the second place, let me try to show_ who ought to be communicants_?
38162In this matter also, how is it with our souls?
38162Is Christ becoming every year more precious?
38162Is communion with Christ like this a common thing?
38162Is he alone in his position?
38162Is he drowsy in soul?
38162Is he ignorant?
38162Is he in circumstances of special trial?
38162Is he laden with many sins?
38162Is he weak and cowardly?
38162Is heart- religion popular in England at this very day?
38162Is his heart hard and prone to evil?
38162Is holiness becoming every year more lovely and desirable in your eyes?
38162Is it condemned or approved by the Bible?
38162Is it for nothing that He praises the good Samaritan, who denied himself to show kindness to a stranger?
38162Is it for nothing that He says,"It is more blessed to give than to receive"?
38162Is it for nothing that He says,"Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness"?
38162Is 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?
38162Is it for nothing that St. Paul classes covetousness with sins of the grossest description, and denounces it as idolatry?
38162Is 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?
38162Is it for nothing that the Lord Jesus spoke the parable of the rich fool, and blamed him because he was not"rich towards God"?
38162Is it genuine?
38162Is it justified?
38162Is it not for Thine honour that thy Gospel should increase?"
38162Is it not for Thy glory that we should be sanctified?
38162Is it not rather to be suspected that many have quite as much grace as they ask for?
38162Is it not the true account of many, that they have little, because they ask little?
38162Is it not very likely that they have nothing but the name of Christianity, without the reality; and a form of godliness, without the power?
38162Is it pardoned?
38162Is it prepared to meet God?
38162Is it real?
38162Is it real?
38162Is it real?
38162Is it true?
38162Is not the actual amount of time that many Christians give to prayer in the aggregate very small?
38162Is not this encouragement?
38162Is not this encouragement?
38162Is not this encouragement?
38162Is not this encouragement?
38162Is not this just what you see in the Apostle Paul?
38162Is not this what you see in Paul at Antioch, when he withstood Peter to the face, and said he was to be blamed?
38162Is not this what you see in Phinehas, the son of Eleazar?--or in Hezekiah and Josiah, when they put down idolatry?
38162Is not this what you see in the Apostle Paul?
38162Is not this what you see in the Lord Jesus?
38162Is our religion real?
38162Is our spirit often willing, but hampered and clogged by the poor weak flesh?
38162Is sin becoming every year more hateful to you?
38162Is sin the burden and bitterness of our lives?
38162Is the little that we know of God and Christ, and the Bible precious to our souls, and do we long for more?
38162Is the man an earnest man?
38162Is the world a danger to the soul, or is it not?
38162Is there literally nothing that you can do for the glory of God, and the benefit of your fellow- men?
38162Is there no one in all the world that you can read to?
38162Is there no one that you can speak to?
38162Is there no one that you can write to?
38162Is there no spiritual dwelling- place to which we may continually repair in this desolate world, and, repairing to it, find rest and peace?
38162Is there none we can do good to?
38162Is there not an unreal_ faith_?
38162Is there not an unreal_ holiness_?
38162Is there not an unreal_ humility_?
38162Is there not an unreal_ love and charity_?
38162Is there not an unreal_ repentance_?
38162Is there not unreal_ praying_?
38162Is there not unreal_ talking_ about religion?
38162Is there not unreal_ worship_?
38162Is this your religion?
38162Is this your religion?
38162Is this your religion?
38162Is this your religion?
38162Is your own Christianity real and true?
38162Is your own religion real or unreal?
38162It can awaken him.--Is he mourning?
38162It can comfort him.--Is he erring?
38162It can keep him from evil.--Is he alone?
38162It can make him strong.--Is he in company?
38162It can restore him.--Is he weak?
38162It is a simple question, but a solemn one,--_Do you yet belong to the family of God_?
38162It should set him thinking,--"How does this affect me?
38162Last, but not least, do we want_ an unfailing friend_?
38162Lay 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?
38162Let me ask every one a plain question:"Are you free?"
38162Let me show, in the second place,_ when a man can be called rightly zealous in religion_?
38162Let me show, in the third place,_ why it is a good thing for a man to be zealous in religion_?
38162Might it not rather be feared that many believers in this generation pray_ too little_?
38162Might we not abridge some of our luxuries?
38162Might we not lay out less upon ourselves, and give more to Christ''s cause and Christ''s poor?
38162Must not many things be taken for granted in the beginning of every science, before we can proceed one step towards acquaintance with it?
38162Nay, but, O man,"who art thou that repliest against God?"
38162No wonder that holy Baxter sings,--"What if in prison I must dwell, May I not then converse with Thee?
38162No.--Do they care for the souls which were so precious in His sight?
38162No.--Do they delight in the word of reconciliation?
38162No.--Do they love the Saviour who came into the world to save them?
38162No.--Do they seek close fellowship with Him?
38162No.--Do they try to speak with the Friend of sinners in prayer?
38162No.--Oh, reader, is this your case?
38162No: he has a thinking mind and a conscience!--Has he no consciousness of any world but that in which he lives and moves?
38162Now how is this?
38162Now is it reasonable to suppose that our Lord would appoint an ordinance for so simple a purpose as the"_ keeping His death in remembrance_"?
38162Now is the view here stated the doctrine of the New Testament?
38162Now what can we make of this great fact,--the universal prevalence of sickness?
38162Now what has a self- righteous man to do with an ordinance like this?
38162Now, how can we account for the difference which I have just described?
38162Now, is it possible that such a daily sight should not give them grief?
38162Now, what is the cause of most backsliding?
38162Now, what is this glorious freedom?
38162Now, what will your portion be?
38162Now, where is the peculiar blessedness of this gathering?
38162O grave, where is thy victory?"
38162Of whom does it consist?
38162Often, far too often, the only question asked about a man is,"How much is he worth?"
38162Oh, prayerless man, who and what are you that you will not ask anything of God?
38162Oh, when are you going to begin?
38162On the right hand or on the left, in the day of judgment?
38162On what do you mean to build your hope?
38162On what do you mean to rest your soul?
38162Once more I ask,"How do we do about our souls?"
38162Once more I ask,"How do we do?"
38162Once more I ask,--In the matter of communion with Christ,"How do we do?"
38162Once more I ask,--In the matter of readiness for Christ''s second coming,"How do we do?"
38162Once more I press my question on your conscience:"What will you do when you are ill?"
38162Once more let us ask, in the matter of conversion,"How do we do?"
38162Once more let us ask,--In the matter of forgiveness of sins,"How do we do?"
38162Once more let us ask,--In the matter of holiness, how is it with our souls?
38162Once more let us ask,--In the matter of means of grace,"How do we do?"
38162Once more, then, I ask my readers to consider the question of my text,--"How do we do about our souls?"
38162Or, do you find these practices irksome, and either slur them over, or neglect them altogether?
38162Say to your soul, whenever you are tempted to that which is wrong,"Soul, soul, is this thy kindness to thy Friend?"
38162Say to yourself often as you read,"What is all this about?"
38162Secondly,_ what is its present position_?
38162Settle it, for death is nigh, the Lord is at hand, and who can tell what a day might bring forth?
38162Settle your thoughts on this one simple inquiry,--"Do I really trust in Christ, as a humble sinner?
38162Shall our congregations be taught that even when people live and die in sin we may hope for their happiness in a remote future?
38162Shall we admit the dangerous principle that words in Scripture do not mean what they appear to mean?
38162Shall we be wise above that which is written?
38162Shall you be gathered by the angels into God''s home when the Lord returns, or shall you be left behind?
38162Should we not say, Why did you not steer by the great leading lights?
38162Surely, we may well say,--"When the Son of man cometh, shall He find charity upon earth?"
38162Texts are the guides we must never be ashamed to refer to in the present day.--"What saith the Scripture?
38162The grand question is, Will you take it?
38162The grand test of a man''s faith and religion is,"Does it make him happy?"
38162The only question is,--Is the thing said Scriptural?
38162The question is simply this,"Do you feel your sins?
38162Their heart never turns to God with the solemn inquiry,--"Lord, is this my picture?--Lord, is it I?"
38162Then, where is your grace?
38162There are no such products in a natural man''s heart.--Did they come from the devil?
38162There is but one point to be settled:"What says the Word of God?"
38162There is but one question worth asking about our actions:"How will they look in the day of judgment?"
38162They can look back on long years of carelessness and worldliness and say,--"Who shall lay anything to my charge?"
38162They can not answer the question,"Who are those whom Christ effectually makes free?"
38162They can stand by the side of an open grave, and say,"O death, where is thy sting?
38162They feel as if He had said to each one of them,"Wilt thou be my son?"
38162They will have to die and appear before the bar of God, and be judged; and then what will the end be?
38162Think of them all, and often say to yourself,--"What can I do for them?
38162Thirdly,_ what are its future prospects_?
38162This is the Deist''s creed.--Now, shall we listen to this doctrine?
38162Though he may deceive neighbours, acquaintances, fellow- worshippers, and ministers with a form of godliness, does he think that he can deceive God?
38162True charity is not always asking,--"What are my rights?
38162Turn ye, turn ye: why will ye die?"
38162V. Do we want_ a wise and prudent friend_?
38162Was He obliged to do this?
38162Was heart- religion popular in New Testament times?
38162Was heart- religion popular in Old Testament times?
38162Was that all?
38162Was the Lord Jesus Christ obliged to come down to save us?
38162We do not plead as often as we might,"Lord, are we not Thine own people?
38162Were their members continuing steadfast in the faith?
38162Were they going forward, or standing still?
38162Were they growing in grace?
38162Were they not in earnest?
38162What account can we give of it?
38162What am I doing?
38162What answer shall we give to our inquiring children when they ask us,"Father, why do people get ill and die?"
38162What are all the revolutions recorded by Vertot,--what are all the revolutions which France and England have gone through, compared to these?
38162What are the Romish miracles which weak men believe, compared to all this, even if they were true?

38162What are the marks and signs, and tokens, by which the"sons of God"may be known?
38162What are the victories of Alexander, and CÃ ¦ sar, and Marlborough, and Napoleon, and Wellington, compared with those I have just mentioned?
38162What are the_ dear things_ now?
38162What are we to understand when we hear of charity being greater than faith and hope?

38162What are you doing with the Bible?

38162What can be more proud?
38162What can be more striking than the fact that the Bible has frequently spoken of money as a most fruitful cause of sin and evil?
38162What can be more unholy than such a doctrine as this?
38162What can be more unreasonable?
38162What can be more worthy of zeal than eternal things, than the glory of God, than the salvation of souls?
38162What can be possibly said for the man who after all dies without prayer?
38162What can be said about these people?
38162What can be worse than the accounts we have of its ignorance and superstition?

38162What comfort could you have in an abode where love was the law, and selfishness and ill- nature completely shut out?
38162What common bond of harmony and brotherhood?
38162What common delight in a common service?
38162What concord, what harmony, what peace, what oneness of spirit could exist?
38162What did the Lord mean when He spoke the parables of the friend at midnight and the importunate widow?
38162What do I mean when I say the true Christian is happy?
38162What do I mean when I speak of a true Christian?
38162What do I mean when I speak of formal religion?
38162What does it all mean?
38162What does it matter how men conduct themselves, if all go to heaven, and nobody goes to hell?
38162What does this teach_ me_?"
38162What dost thou do with the Bible?--Dost thou read it?--HOW READEST THOU?
38162What explanation can we give of it?
38162What great and good thing was ever done without trouble?
38162What have we really got from Christ?
38162What is a man to do?

38162What may communicants expect from the Lord''s Supper?
38162What may we learn from these tremendously strong expressions?

38162What more can a man want to lead him to take any step in religion than the things I have just told him about prayer?

38162When sinners entice you, and say,"It is only a little one,"--when Satan whispers in your heart,"Never mind: where is the mighty harm?
38162When we look around us, we may well ask,"How do we do about our souls?"
38162When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
38162Whence did these feelings come?

38162Where would the Missionary work be if it were not for zeal?
38162Which are you?
38162Which is it of the two?
38162Who are the men that God has generally honoured to build up the walls of His Zion, and turn the battle from the gate?
38162Who are the men that have left the deepest and most indelible marks on the Church of their day?

38162Why are you cast down?
38162Why do many so- called Christians never go to the Lord''s Table?
38162Why indeed art thou ever sad if thou art the King''s son?
38162Why is it a thing that we ought to look forward to with joy, and expect with pleasure?
38162Why is it?
38162Why should I not say that multitudes have gone to"the strait gate"since the days of the Apostles, and have entered in by it and been saved?
38162Why should fig trees which bear no fruit be spared in the present day, when in our Lord''s time they were to be cut down as"cumberers of the ground"?
38162Why should he repent and take up the cross, if he can get to heaven at last without trouble?
38162Why should men ever doubt, when they look at you, whether it is a pleasant thing to be one of God''s children?
38162Why should not you also seek Christ?
38162Why should not you give up your sins, and lay hold on Christ this very day?
38162Why should we mystify and confuse a subject which in the New Testament is so simple?
38162Why should we not look at facts under our own eyes, and by our own doors?
38162Why should we suppose for a moment that a lower standard will suffice in the present day?
38162Why was the Lord''s supper ordained?
38162Will you not repent?
38162Would we like to know where the true Pattern of charity like this can be found?
38162Would you adorn the doctrine you profess?
38162Would you be happy?
38162Would you be noble?

38162Yet what was the true record of Davy''s feelings?
38162Yet who can doubt which of the two parties was on the Lord''s side?
38162Yet who can doubt which was most precious in God''s sight, the servant or the king?
38162Yet who can doubt which was the good man of the two, the Lord Chief Justice or the author of the"Saint''s Rest"?
38162You will hear that awful word,"Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment?"
38162Your heart will sometimes say,"We have had family prayers; what mighty harm if we leave private prayer undone?"
38162[ 13] What says the Epistle to the Galatians?
38162_ Did you ever ask those questions?_ I am certain if you did, that the weakest and lowest believers would all give you one answer.
38162_ Have you got a home for your soul?_ Is it safe?
38162_ Have you got a home for your soul?_ Is it safe?
38162_ Is this"striving"_?
38162_ What is that family_ which the Bible calls"the whole family in heaven and earth"?
38162_ What is the present position_ of the whole family in heaven and earth?
38162_ When is a man truly zealous in religion?_ There never was a grace of which Satan has not made a counterfeit.
38162_ Who are the chaff in the world?_ This again is a point which demands special attention.
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.
38162and what do we know of Him?
38162and what do we think of Him?
38162and what must I do?
38162but,"How can I best promote peace?
38162genuine or base?
38162have we not all eternity to rest in?"
38162oh, eternity, where are thy terrors?"
38162oh, grave, where is thy victory?
38162or nominal and base?
38162she replied.--''But why does the uncertainty of another state give you no concern?''
38162they say:"If this is not Christianity, what is?"
38162to yourself or to Christ?
38162we may well ask,--"Where is love?
38162where is the mind of Christ?"
9057And 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?
9057Are our enemies men like ourselves?
9057But is not this dangerous doctrine? 9057 But is there not the worst of all dangers involved in such teaching-- the danger of spiritual pride?"
9057Can we not, then, understand them?
9057Does the Lord then mean that the_ reason_ for not laying up such treasures is their transitory and corruptible nature?
9057In virtue of cruelty, heartlessness, injustice, disrespect, misrepresentation?
9057Is this humanity in every one of our enemies?
9057May 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?"
9057Of course the heart will be where the treasure is; but what has that to do with the argument?
9057Upon what ground? 9057 Was he not to eat when it came in his way?
9057Who is my neighbour?
9057Why not lay up for ourselves treasures upon earth?
9057Why? 9057 With what body do they come?"
9057Yes; 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?
9057And again, can that be required which, according to your showing, is not adequate?
9057And as to trusting in your riches-- who ever imagined he could have eternal life by his riches?
9057And did not the bread come in his way, when his power met that which could be changed into it?"
9057And do not our hearts revolt against the thought of it?
9057And does not_ the heart_ mean more than the heart?
9057And how in such a condition do we generally act?
9057And how now would he go on with his keeping of the commandments?
9057And how should I see him if I could not see you?
9057And if I am not in the image of God, how can the word of God be of any meaning to me?
9057And if he could, would the creature be the greater for that?
9057And if they are aware of God, they are conscious of their own being: Whence then the necessity of a resurrection?"
9057And if thou forgivest, will not thy forgiveness find its way at last in redemption and purification?
9057And if we do not judge-- humbly and lovingly-- who is to judge for us?
9057And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?
9057And if you do, let me ask further, Was Jesus ever less divine than God?
9057And 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?
9057And is not this when the heart is glad and the face is radiant?
9057And 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_?
9057And 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?
9057And this brings me to the question, What is meant by divine justice?
9057And to whom shall a man, whom the blessed God has made, look for what he likes best, but to that blessed God?
9057And what shall we say of the man Christ Jesus?
9057And who, because he knows and laments the guile in himself, will dare deny that there was once a Nathanael in the world?
9057And why are we told that these treasures are_ hid_ in him who is the_ Revelation_ of God?
9057And why should the good of any one depend on the prayer of another?''
9057And will he not grow arrogant in his confidence?"
9057Are not we the clay, and he the potter?
9057Are there not mingled with it shadows of the best truth in the universe?
9057Are they not hid in him that they may be revealed to us in due time-- that is, when we are in need of them?
9057Are we ashamed of not having been open and clear?
9057Are we careful to be true?
9057Are we fighting the evil thing which is our temptation to hypocrisy?
9057Are you being ware of covetousness?
9057Are you hungering and thirsting after righteousness?
9057Are you meant to be silent?
9057Are you seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness before all other things?
9057Are you then one on whom, because of correspondent condition, the same command could be laid?
9057Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?
9057Art thou willing for the truth whatever it be?
9057As a simple illustration: What notion should we have of the unchanging and unchangeable, without the solidity of matter?
9057Away to the outer darkness"?
9057Besides, am I not a Christian already?
9057Bound 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?
9057Brothers, have you found our king?
9057But I have reason to doubt whether you are capable of judging righteously in your own cause:--do you hate the man?''
9057But again I must ask, What if_ we_ are in the wrong and do the wrong, and hate because we have injured?
9057But again the Lord takes hold of the word_ good_:--''Why askest thou me concerning that which is good?''
9057But are these the man?
9057But 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?
9057But at length, O God, wilt thou not cast Death and Hell into the lake of Fire-- even into thine own consuming self?
9057But can a man really fall into such a condition of spiritual depravity?
9057But could it even then have been conveyed to the human mind in merely intellectual forms?
9057But does not all evil come from good?
9057But faith in what?
9057But he was the_ Son_ of God: what was his_ Father''s_ will?
9057But how can any share exist where all is open?
9057But how would he, thus conquering, be a servant of Satan?
9057But if he means,''Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?''
9057But if love stop there, what will be the result?
9057But if my son or daughter be gone from me for a season, should not the coming of their mother comfort me?
9057But if thou look not upon me, how can I ever be other than I am?
9057But indeed how should you be able to know?
9057But is God able to do anything more with the man?
9057But 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?
9057But is it reasonable to expect that man should become capable of doing so?
9057But is the reality intended, less or more than the figure?
9057But is there no meaning in the word_ keep_, or_ observe_, except it be qualified by_ perfectly_?
9057But may there not be other powers and means of the Spirit preparatory to this its highest office with man?
9057But to put God to the question in any other way than by saying, What wilt thou have me to do?
9057But what is to be done when all feeling is gone?
9057But who is sufficient to cast them out?
9057But why should I seek in vain to comfort you?
9057But would not the shadow of repentant grief, the light of reviving love on his countenance, heal it at once however deep?
9057But, 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?
9057Can care be a better inspirer of labour than the sending of God?
9057Can it be an easier thing to call into life than to keep alive?
9057Can the cleansing of the fire appear to them anything beyond what it must always, more or less, be-- a process of torture?
9057Can the human twilight of a dream be capable of generating or holding a fuller life than the morning of divine activity?
9057Can there be any way out of the misery?
9057Can we doubt that to come a moment sooner would have been to delay, not to expedite, his kingdom?
9057Can you deny that that person is unlovely?
9057Can you not believe in God himself?
9057Certain as life they will have absolute justice, that is, fairness, but what will that avail, if they enter not into the kingdom?
9057Changed from what?
9057Changed into what?
9057Child as she was, might he not have said to her,"I do not condemn thee: go and sin no more"?
9057Could a creator make a creature whose well- being should not depend on himself?
9057Could he not mould the people at his will?
9057Could he not, transfigured in his snowy garments, call aloud in the streets of Jerusalem,"Behold your King?"
9057Could his forgiveness be the same as in the former case?
9057Could there be true love in any other kind of forgiveness than this?
9057Could this be all that lay between him and entering into life?
9057Could we ever have come to know good as thou knowest it, save by passing through the sea of sin and the fire of cleansing?
9057Dares any man suppose that Jesus would have him hate the traitor through whom he came to the cross?
9057Did he not hold to that assertion to the last, in the face of contradiction and death?
9057Did he not insist on the one truth of the universe, the one saving truth, that God was just what he was?
9057Did he not thus lay down his life persuading us to lay down ours at the feet of the Father?
9057Did he not, however unintentionally, lay it on their hearts?
9057Did he show the child a next step on the stair too high for him to set his foot upon?
9057Did 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?
9057Did he tell an untruth?
9057Did he understand his own being, history, and destiny?
9057Did his sisters, supposing them again left behind him in the world, make the same lamentations over him as the former time he went?
9057Did not all he made move the delight of the beholding man?
9057Did not the Lord cast himself into the eternal gulf of evil yawning between the children and the Father?
9057Did such things foreshadow injustice towards the creature he had made in his image?
9057Did that veil hide Moses''s face only?
9057Did the Lord speak out of personal indignation, or did he utter a spiritual fact, a live principle?
9057Did 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?
9057Did 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?
9057Did you set yourself to judge righteous judgment?
9057Do not even the publicans as much as that?
9057Do they lie beyond the sphere of his responsibility?
9057Do 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?
9057Do 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?
9057Do we endeavour to live to the height of our ideas?
9057Do we not sit mourning over the loss of our feelings?
9057Do you ask,''What is faith in him?''
9057Do you count it a great faith to believe what God has said?
9057Do you not care to be imperfect?
9057Do you not mourn that you can not trust in him as you would, that you find it too hard?
9057Do you say,''But he would not respond, he would not obey!''?
9057Do you suppose he ever gave a commandment knowing it was of no use for it could not be done?
9057Does God care about it?
9057Does God care for suns and planets and satellites, for divine mathematics and ordered harmonies, more than for his children?
9057Does God then not know what a man is going to become?
9057Does a woman bear that form in virtue of these?
9057Does it affect anyone to the lowering of his idea of the Master that he should ever be angry?
9057Does it follow that_ working no ill_ is love?
9057Does it not also help us to think of him in all our affairs, and learn in everything to give thanks?
9057Does it not lead us up hither: that the devotion of God to his creatures is perfect?
9057Does it not mean a deeper heart, the heart of your own self, not of your body?
9057Does not_ the rust and the moth_ mean more than disease?
9057Does that mean, then, that for an unjust word I deserve to suffer to all eternity?
9057Does the Lord mean that everything a man has ever done or thought must be laid bare to the universe?
9057Even had you laid the suffering upon yourself, what did that do to make up for the wrong?
9057Even while this righteousness is being born in him, the man will say to himself,''Why should I be troubled about this thing or that?
9057For God is nigher to the man than is anything God has made: what can be closer than the making and the made?
9057For God was his God still, although he had forsaken him-- forsaken_ his vision_ that his faith might glow out triumphant; forsaken_ himself_?
9057For are we not all thine-- utterly thine?
9057For 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"?
9057For how can he give into the soul of a man what it needs, while that soul can not receive it?
9057For 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?
9057For how shall he be forgiven?
9057For if their moans, myriads of ages away, would turn heaven for us into hell-- shall a man be more merciful than God?
9057For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?
9057For is not that the divine way?
9057For the Human Being may say thus with himself:"Am I going to sleep-- to lose consciousness-- to be helpless for a time-- thoughtless-- dead?
9057For the good that comes to him, he gives no thanks-- who is there to thank?
9057For what revelation, other than a partial, can the highest spiritual condition receive of the infinite God?
9057For when is the child the ideal child in our eyes and to our hearts?
9057For, when we say that God is Love, do we teach men that their fear of him is groundless?
9057From this disappointment came, it seems to me, that sorrowful sigh,''Nevertheless, when the son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?''
9057Go away, and be good, and then come to me?"
9057God is all right-- why should we mind standing in the dark for a minute outside his window?
9057God''s creation by man''s imagination?
9057God''s giving by man''s asking?
9057Had he done no more for them than this?
9057Had the Lord_ not_ said so, what man of common moral sense would ever dare say otherwise?
9057Has he himself no room for choice-- therefore can give none?
9057Has he indeed nothing to do with such?
9057Have I failed in love to my neighbour?
9057Have I had justice done me?
9057Have I injured anyone?
9057Have we not heard of those, thine own, taught of thee, who could easily forgive their betrayers in thy name?
9057Have you begun to leave all and follow him?
9057Have you dismissed, once dismissed, an anxious thought for the morrow?
9057Have you forgiven your enemy?
9057Have you given to some one that asked of you?
9057Have you ministered to any needy soul or body, and kept your right hand from knowing what your left hand did?
9057Have you, in any sense like that in which the youth answered the question, kept the commandments?
9057Having 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?''
9057Having the elder brother, could they not do for a little while without the younger?
9057He allows his child to pull his toys to pieces; but were they made that he might pull them to pieces?
9057He gives himself to us-- shall not we give ourselves to him?
9057He had said something for the sake of the multitude; what was it?
9057He has made and appointed them to cry: they do cry: will he not hear them?
9057He himself says,"Why do ye not of your own selves judge what is right?"
9057He is apt to ask,"Why should it be difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven?"
9057He is ready to look upon the natural fact as an arbitrary decree, arising, shall I say?
9057He lets her know that he and she have different outlooks, different notions of his work:''What to me and thee, woman?''
9057He may come to do good to them that hate him; but when will he pray for them that despitefully use him and persecute him?
9057He might at any moment appear: who, I ask, would be the first to receive him?
9057He might give back a brother to sisters who were favourites with him, but no such gift is to be counted upon?
9057He recalls the words of our Lord,"If ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?"
9057He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
9057He was the Son of God: why should not the sons of God know it?
9057Hence is he of necessity in profoundest perplexity, for how can the two things be reconciled?
9057Here is a book of faith indeed, ere the law was given by Moses: Grace and Truth have visited us-- but where is our faith?
9057Here was a nation at its lowest: could it receive anything but a partial revelation, a revelation of fear?
9057His power?
9057His whole heart would respond to the cry of sad publican or despairing pharisee,''How am I to be good?''
9057How abandon, without thwarting?''
9057How am I to become a man worth being a man?''
9057How am I to judge of it?
9057How am I to know the thing as he says he knows it?
9057How are we to believe such a thing?
9057How are you to believe he will do his part by you, while you are not such as to do your part by him?
9057How are you to believe while you are not faithful?
9057How can he go on sending forth his life into irreclaimable souls, to keep sin alive in them throughout the ages of eternity?
9057How 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?
9057How 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?
9057How could Satan be so foolish?
9057How could a God pour out his being to uphold the merest waste of his creatures?
9057How could a rich man believe he would be of more value without his money?
9057How could he be Father, who creating, would not make provision, would not keep room for the babbled prayers of his children?
9057How could it make up to me for the stealing of my watch that the man was punished?
9057How could the Revisers choose this last reading,''an heir through God,''and keep the word_ adoption_?
9057How did it come ever to be imagined?
9057How do you know that he did not hear you?
9057How else can I regard them?
9057How hard?
9057How have we learned Christ?
9057How is it that he who receives the Son receives the Father?
9057How many care that they are not?
9057How many know that they are not?
9057How many_ Christians_ are?
9057How otherwise than by rebuking and quelling their anxiety, could those words have made them see what then they saw?
9057How 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?
9057How should he be righteous without owing us anything?
9057How should he effect this if he were_ always_ moving us from within, as he does at divine intervals, towards the beauty of holiness?
9057How should they think of purification by fire?
9057How should you be capable of trusting in the true one while you are nowise true to him?
9057How should you understand?
9057How then can you love him?"
9057How to receive him?
9057How was he to comfort them?
9057How would Jesus have received the confession of the darling?
9057How would the Lord have been buried but for the rich Joseph?
9057How would the man interpret it?
9057How would there be any right for the judge of all the earth to do if he owed nothing?
9057How, I say, should you be capable of trusting in him?
9057How, through all this mass of falsehood, could the pardon of God reach the essential humanity within it?
9057How?
9057Howbeit when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?''
9057I answer, What if he knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most?
9057I ask,"Did he not look like other children?"
9057I can not tell how, but may not those prayers in some way increase God''s opportunity for working his best and highest will?
9057I can only answer with the return question,''Why should my love be powerless to help another?''
9057I can well imagine an honest youth, educated in Christian forms, thus reasoning with himself:--''Is the story of general relation?
9057I do not say he was not able; I say-- Are we bound to believe he was able?
9057I may forgive him, but is the wrong removed?
9057I may move my arm as I please: shall God be unable so to move his?
9057I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second hand?
9057I say then to the youth:--''Have you kept-- have you been keeping the commandments?''
9057I should still have a claim upon him for my watch, but should I not be apt to forget it?
9057I 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?
9057I think it would better be,''Why dost thou ask me concerning& c.?'']
9057If God appeared to us, how could he say,"I forgive you,"while we remained unforgiving to our neighbour?
9057If I ask you why, will not the true answer be--"Because we are not quite sure that he did say it"?
9057If I make up my mind to be a Christian, shall I be required to part with all I possess?
9057If Job could not search his understanding in these things, why should he conclude his own case wrapt in the gloom of injustice?
9057If a man can not trust him for this, what claim can he make to faith in him?
9057If a man die, shall he live again?
9057If he came thus, in form altogether unlooked for, who would they be that recognized and received him?
9057If he could, and did not, must it not be as well as, yes, better than if he did?
9057If he has determined the being, how shall any mode of that being be hidden from him?
9057If he means,''What plan wilt thou adopt?
9057If his glory be in giving himself, and we must share therein, giving ourselves, why should we not begin here and now?
9057If it be_ Things_ that slay you, what matter whether things you have, or things you have not?
9057If it were, how many of us are such as God would choose to represent his thoughts and intents by our opinions concerning them?
9057If my friend has wronged me, will it console me to see him punished?
9057If not of the leaven of bread, how did the reference to those miracles of bread make them recognize the fact?
9057If 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?''
9057If such answer came, who that loved would not be content to be nowhere in the matter?
9057If the Spirit of God is shut out from his heart, how is he to become better?
9057If 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?
9057If 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?
9057If then the poor starved child cry--''How, Lord?''
9057If there be, are we to refuse the spirit for fear of the pride?
9057If 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?
9057If this thing be good, will he not give it me?
9057If 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?
9057If you say it is a worse offence, I say, Is it too bad for the forgiveness of God?
9057If 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?''
9057If 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?
9057If, such as we are, we had nothing solid about us, where would be our thinking about God and truth and law?
9057In God shall we imagine a distinction of office and character?
9057In a word, He came to supply all our lack-- from the root outward; for what is it we need but more life?
9057In such high affairs as the rights of a live soul, might not matters be involved too high for Job?
9057In this world power is no_ proof_ of righteousness; but was it likely that he who could create should be unrighteous?
9057In whom do I live and move and have my being?
9057Is Christianity a system of articles of belief, let them be correct as language can give them?
9057Is Christianity capable of being represented by opinion, even the best?
9057Is God not my very own Father?
9057Is all that remains to be lost?
9057Is every Christian expected to bear witness?
9057Is everything in the story of Christ''s life on earth good news?
9057Is he but the prisoned steam in the engine, pushing, escaping, stopped-- his way ordered by valve and piston?
9057Is he my Father only in a sort or fashion-- by a legal contrivance?
9057Is he not defeated every time that one of those lost souls defies him?
9057Is he not the High Priest of his brethren, to answer all the troubled questionings that arise in their dim humanity?
9057Is he not the Truth?--the Truth to men?
9057Is he not the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world?
9057Is his perfection a mechanical one?
9057Is his spirit dwelling in me?
9057Is it a good thing?''
9057Is it a truth that water freezes at thirty- two degrees?
9057Is it good news that he came to his own, and his own received him not?
9057Is 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?
9057Is it not impossible that I should behold the final goodness of good, the final evilness of evil?
9057Is it not perfect response to his parents?
9057Is it not proof-- this complaint of my heart at the word_ Adoption_?
9057Is it not that Love may grow lord of all between him and me?
9057Is it not the carrying out of the law, the infliction of penalty assigned to offence?
9057Is it not the spirit of the child, crying out,"Abba, Father"?''
9057Is it not time I lost a few things when I care for them so unreasonably?
9057Is 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?
9057Is 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?
9057Is it of his perfection that he should have no scope, no freedom?
9057Is it possible that, so far as you are concerned, Lazarus might as well not have risen?
9057Is it that we should despair of finding them and cease to seek them?
9057Is it then reasonable to love our enemies?
9057Is not a man''s soul, as it dwells in his body, a dim- shadowing type of God in and throughout his universe?
9057Is not the design of the first course of his children''s education just to bring them to the point where they shall pray?
9057Is 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?
9057Is not their birthright what he made them for, made in them when he made them?
9057Is not their hiding in him the mediatorial step towards their unfolding in us?
9057Is not this at length_ too_ much to expect?
9057Is not this to be Satan?
9057Is not this to be worse than worst Of those that lawless and incertain thoughts Imagine howling?
9057Is our life, then, a witnessing to the truth?
9057Is oxygen- and- hydrogen the divine idea of water?
9057Is that the Godhood, and its relation to those who worship it?
9057Is the Lord supposed to teach that for a man who trusts in his riches it is_ possible_ to enter the kingdom?
9057Is the converse true then?
9057Is the fulfilling of the law love?
9057Is the man a coward who will not fling his child to the wolves?
9057Is the one idea of creation the begetting of a free, grand, divine will in us?
9057Is there any gospel in telling me that God is unjust, but that there is a way of deliverance from him?
9057Is there here any paradox?
9057Is there no keeping but a perfect keeping?
9057Is there selfishness in the Lord''s seeing of the travail of his soul and being satisfied?
9057Is there then anything you will not leave for Christ?
9057Is this demand made upon me?
9057It 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?
9057It is enough; let me now return whence I came; let me be gathered to my fathers and be at rest!''?
9057It is hard enough to be just to our friends; and how shall our enemies fare with us?
9057It is not directly for justice, else how could he show mercy, for that would involve injustice?
9057It 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?''
9057It might be the right way for creatures to love because of mere existence, but what two creatures would ever have originated the loving?
9057It might prove so far the presence of a God; but would it prove that God?
9057Knowing that you do not heed his word, why should I heed your explanation of it?
9057Law?
9057Let a man have committed any sin whatever, I forgive him; but to choose to go on sinning-- how can I forgive that?
9057Let me then ask, do you believe in the Incarnation?
9057Let us say to the Lord,''Jesus, art thou loving the Father in there?
9057Lord, remember I was born in sin: how then can I see sin as thou seest it?
9057Love will fulfil the law: will the law fulfil love?
9057Man''s first business is,"What does God want me to do?"
9057May a man become strong in righteousness without learning to speak the truth to his neighbour?
9057May he not at least expedite something for our prayers?
9057May there not be a fire that even such can feel?
9057Might he not feel the keeping of them more imperative than ever, yet impossible without something he had not?
9057Might he not trust him to do him justice?
9057Much as he may love him, can a man adopt a dog?
9057Must he not have known, felt, imagined, rejoiced in things that would not be told in human words, could not be understood by human hearts?
9057Must they be absolutely miserable without him?
9057My thought must lie open to him: if he makes me think, how can I elude him in thinking?
9057Naturally, in his failure, the question arises,"Is it my duty to love him who is unlovable?"
9057Neither Pilate nor they ask the one true question,''How am I to be a true man?
9057No 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?
9057No man can do yet what he tells him aright-- but are you trying?
9057No man is so tied by divine law that he can nowise modify his work: shall God not modify his?
9057No; how should you?
9057Nor is it merely that he made me: by whose power do I go on living?
9057Now what is the deepest in God?
9057Of what use then is the law?
9057On what does the Lord found this his accusation of them?
9057Or are we mean, self- serving, world- flattering, fawning slaves?
9057Or 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?
9057Or has God put the two together only that man might separate and find them out?
9057Or have I forgotten a thought that came to me, which seemed of the truth, and a revealment to my heart?
9057Or how could he then be the Son of his Father who can not be tempted with evil?
9057Or how is the man ever to get out of this condition?
9057Or is there any other deliverance from pride except the spirit?
9057Or was it but the last wrench of pain ere the final repose began?
9057Or why is it but the cold frost of use and forgetting that makes you less miserable than you were a year ago?''
9057Or 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?
9057Or, confess,--do you not find it so hard to believe what he has said, that even that is almost more than you can do?
9057Or, if he be mine, am not I his?
9057Our friends will know us then: for their joy, will it be, or their sorrow?
9057Pray, why should it grieve me to be told I am not a child of God, if I be not a child of God?
9057Reader, 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?
9057Refusing to obey him in your life, how can you trust him for your life?
9057Religion?
9057Remember, Lord, that I have never known myself clean: how can I cleanse myself?
9057Shall God be God, and shall this be the end?
9057Shall 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?
9057Shall God''s thoughts be surpassed by man''s thoughts?
9057Shall I allow my creature to be the thing my soul hates?''
9057Shall I keep you alive to do things hateful in the sight of all true men?
9057Shall I not cry to him to be in me rest and strength?
9057Shall I not now love him with an infinitely better love than was possible to me before?
9057Shall I not tell him that I need him to comfort me?
9057Shall I then be supposed to mean that the refusal of the young man was of necessity final?
9057Shall a brother love a brother more than The Father loves a son?--more than The Brother Christ loves his brother?
9057Shall a man climb the last flight of the stair who has never set foot on the lowest step?
9057Shall mortal man, the helpless creature thou hast made, bear cross like this?''
9057Shall my heart be more compassionate than his?
9057Shall not his dread''--another thing quite than that to which you show your pagan respect--''fall upon you?''
9057Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?
9057Shall not the youth abide the stroke of Time''s clock-- await the Inevitable on its path to free him?''
9057Shall that begin with an exception?
9057Shall the king who comes to say what is true, turn his back for fear of men?
9057Shall the mother''s heart cleave closest to the deformed of her little ones?
9057Shall we leave our brother to his desolate fate?
9057Shall we not find thee equal to our faith?
9057Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom he loves?
9057Shall, of all his glories, his mercy alone not be infinite?
9057Should I be fit for any friendship if that were possible even in regard to my enemy?
9057Should he be willing to give a man the thing he knows he would afterwards wish he had not given him?
9057Should not God''s ways in these also be beyond his understanding?
9057Sometimes to one praying will come the feeling rather than question:''Were it not better to abstain?
9057St. Peter expressly says,''While it remained was it not thine own?
9057Suppose my watch found and restored, is the account settled between me and the thief?
9057Suppose the man, with the watch in his pocket, were to inflict the severest flagellation on himself: would that lessen my sense of injury?
9057Surely not-- else why should they have been given?
9057Tell me it is faith he requires: do I not know it?
9057That you may have bettered by your suffering is well for you, but what atonement is there in the suffering?
9057The Lord of life demanding high virtue of us, can it be that he does not care for the first principles of justice?
9057The 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?
9057The answer then to the Lord''s reproach,''How is it that ye do not understand?''
9057The difficulty is this: Is it like the_ Son of man_ to pick out the beautiful child, and leave the common child unnoticed?
9057The ground of the wrong they do us?"
9057The ground of their enmity?
9057The 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?
9057The prayer would arise from nothing in the person prayed for; why should it initiate a change in God''s dealing with him?
9057The 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?
9057The righteousness of another?
9057The thief may have had justice done him-- but where is my watch?
9057Then my second neighbour appears, and who is he?
9057Then shall I not think to him?
9057Then why should I care?
9057There 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?
9057There was nothing like this in the law: was it not hard?--Hard to let earth go, and take heaven instead?
9057Thereupon the man falls back on the primary foundation of things, and asks--"How, then, is the man to be loved by me?
9057This adds something to the story, and raises the question, Why should Jesus have been angry?
9057This is full of mystery, but can we not see enough in it to make us very glad and very peaceful?
9057To be a thing that God cares for and would have complete for himself, because it is worth caring for-- is not that life enough?
9057To be something to God-- is not that praise enough?
9057To return then to our immediate text: Is the refusal of forgiveness contained in it a condemnation to irrecoverable impenitence?
9057To say_ Thou art God_, without knowing what the_ Thou_ means-- of what use is it?
9057To the one as to the other comes the word,''_ How is it that ye do not understand_?''
9057To what does such a forgiveness reach?
9057To what end are all his dealings with them, all his sufferings with and for and in them, but that they should claim their birthright?
9057To whom is this name given?
9057Was all he had gone through in the way of obedience to be of no good to him?
9057Was existence, the glorious out- gift of his father, to be the most terrible of miseries, because some must go home before others?
9057Was he not a child then?
9057Was he not always bringing forth out of the light inaccessible?
9057Was he not ready for it?
9057Was his father and their father no comfort to them?
9057Was it meant for a test, and not as an actual word of deliverance?
9057Was it not a true revelation of God?
9057Was it not righteous in Abraham to obey God?
9057Was it not thus the Lord carried himself towards his Father when he said,''If it be possible, let this cup pass from me''?
9057Was it the cry of gladness that he had endured to the end?
9057Was it the cry of relief at the touch of death?
9057Was it the cry of victory?
9057Was it then, when at the last moment, in the agony of the last faint, the Lord cried out,"Why hast thou forsaken me?"
9057Was 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?
9057Was not this their_ condition_ unpardonable?
9057Was such his condition now that the greatest gladness of the universe could express itself only in a loud cry?
9057Was such sorrow, in the mind of an earnest youth, likely to grow less or to grow more?
9057Was the Lord deceived in him?
9057Was the Lord then premature in his demand on the youth?
9057Was then this show upon Mount Sinai a device to move obedience, such as bad nurses employ with children?
9057Was this punishment?
9057Waxing 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?''
9057We are no more to think,''What should I like to do?''
9057We can not frustrate it in its working; are we just to it in our idea of it?
9057We know that the wind blows: why should we not know that God answers prayer?''
9057We rise a step here in the nature of the facts concerned: are we come therefore into the region of truths?
9057Were it otherwise, what would it avail to prove this one or that right or wrong?
9057Were there no love in us, what sense of justice could we have?
9057Were they no nearer the light of life than that?
9057What 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?
9057What can matter to me more than my rights?''
9057What claim have you to know?
9057What connection was there between''How many baskets took ye up?''
9057What difference is there between your position now and theirs?
9057What do I hear you say?--''_How then shall the world go on_?''
9057What do we oftenest mean by_ justice_?
9057What does it matter what you think of any doctrine?
9057What does it mean?
9057What does the apostle mean by the righteousness that is of God by faith?
9057What does the bosom of his mother give him but life in abundance?
9057What does the infant need but more life?
9057What does the old man need, whose limbs are weak and whose pulse is low, but more of the life which seems ebbing from him?
9057What else can that be than the spiritual childhood?
9057What father being evil would it not win to see the child with whom he was vexed running to his embrace?
9057What father is not pleased with the first tottering attempt of his little one to walk?
9057What father would be satisfied with anything but the manly step of the full- grown son?
9057What fitness then can there be in praying for others?
9057What had the miracles to do with their discovering that when he spoke of leaven, it was not of the leaven of bread?
9057What have such gained by being the Christians they say they are?
9057What have we to do towards the attaining to the resurrection from the dead?
9057What have you done this day because it was the will of Christ?
9057What have you to do with his merits?
9057What 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?
9057What idea could we have of God without the sky?
9057What if the good of all our smaller and lower needs lies in this, that they help to drive us to God?
9057What if the main object in God''s idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need-- the need of himself?
9057What if there would be no good in that?
9057What in the name of God is our knowledge of the elements of the atmosphere to our knowledge of the elements of Nature?
9057What is he to do with him?
9057What is it to any true man what you think of his doctrine?
9057What is life in a child?
9057What is the analysis of water to the babble of a running stream?
9057What is the kingdom of Christ?
9057What is the tone of the passage?
9057What is the whole system of things for, but our education?
9057What is the_ life_ the apostle intends?
9057What is thy scheme for cutting my bonds and setting me free?''
9057What less than such a splendour of hope would be worthy the revelation of Jesus?
9057What lover would yield his lady to her passion for morphia?
9057What makes it fit, I repeat, to call the tale_ good news_?
9057What makes this tale_ the good news_?
9057What man can judge his neighbour aright save him whose love makes him refuse to judge him?
9057What matter whether I be called a grass of the field, or an eagle of the air?
9057What merit is there in it?
9057What other relation imaginable could give claims to compare with those arising from such a relation?
9057What 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?
9057What repentant child, feeling he has wronged his father, does not desire to make atonement?
9057What room will there be for law, when everything upon which law could lay a_ shalt not_ will be too loathsome to think of?
9057What setting- right would come of the sinner''s suffering?
9057What 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?
9057What thank would he have in that?
9057What then is our practical relation to the life original?
9057What then is the kingdom over which the Lord cares to reign, for he says he came into the world to be a king?
9057What 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?
9057What then, I say once more, is in Christ correspondent to the creative power of God?
9057What then?
9057What truth?
9057What was the prayer for having heard which he now thanks his father?
9057What wisdom could there be in throwing away such a grand advantage?
9057What would he have, but that his children should claim their father?
9057What, I ask now, is here the power of his word_ For: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also_?
9057What, I ask, is the truth of water?
9057What, then, is the connection between the second and third?
9057What, then, is the righteousness which is of God by faith?
9057What, then, next, is the connection between the first and second?
9057When contempt is cast on the truth, do we smile?
9057When he cast me out, as you say, did I then begin to draw my being from myself-- or from the devil?
9057When is it given?
9057When the Lord says,''Why askest thou me concerning that which is good?''
9057When, through them, glorifying them as it passed, did the light stream from his glorified body?
9057When?
9057When?
9057Where can be the selfishness in being so made happy?
9057Where then are the sons?
9057Where will be the room for it, when the essence of every thought must be God?
9057Where, I say, would be the good news of that?
9057Wherein do you differ from the youth of the story?
9057Which comes nearest to the divine idea of forgiveness?
9057Which of the inhibitions of the law is illustrated in the tale?
9057Which of these, I pray, is liker to the sin against the Holy Ghost?
9057Which, the creature he made more, or the creature he made less dependent on himself, would be the greater?
9057Whither else dare we send them?
9057Who among them would say he had ever heard God''s voice, or seen his shape?
9057Who but a father could think the flowers for his little ones?
9057Who can give a man this, his own name?
9057Who can set right the wrong?
9057Who has done me the wrong?
9057Who in the kingdom will desire concealment, or be willing to misunderstand?
9057Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?''
9057Who is my father?
9057Who is there of his friends whom any thoughtful man would depute to represent his thoughts to his fellows?
9057Who knows but such sin may need for its cure the continuous punishment of an aeon?
9057Who shall set bounds to the consuming of the fire of our God, and the purifying that dwells therein?
9057Who that believes in Jesus does not long to atone to his brother for the injury he has done him?
9057Who 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?
9057Who will dare to call anything less than this a resurrection?
9057Who would, I repeat, say a man was a just man because he insisted on prosecuting every offender?
9057Who, after centuries of glory in heaven, would not rejoice to behold once more that patient- headed child of winter and spring, the meek snowdrop?
9057Whom makest thou thyself?"
9057Why changed?
9057Why do I behold the helplessness and confidence of his infancy?
9057Why do we behold the wonder of the sunset and the mystery of the growing moon together?
9057Why do we feel this satisfaction?
9057Why do we grow up with the same nurture?
9057Why do we share one bed, join in the same games, and attempt the same exploits?
9057Why does my brother come of the same father and mother?
9057Why does the poor, worn, out- worn suicide seek death?
9057Why 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?
9057Why is the infant laid on the knee of the child?
9057Why should I love my neighbour as myself?"
9057Why should death trouble them?
9057Why should he be forgiven?''
9057Why should he have Adversaries a moment longer to interfere between him and the willing hearts which would believe if they could?
9057Why should he not keep it?
9057Why should he not put forth the power that was in him that he might eat?
9057Why should he not''make the best of both worlds''?
9057Why should it require to be reasoned about?
9057Why should the Lord have come to the world at all, if these his friends were to take no more good of him than this?
9057Why should the question admit of doubt?
9057Why should the rich fare differently from other people in respect of the world to come?
9057Why should the same thing be required of me as of a young Jew?
9057Why should this be"the sad end of the war"?
9057Why should we love our enemies?
9057Why should you know?
9057Why then does he wait till the man has become by overcoming ere he settles what his name shall be?
9057Why then hasten the hour?
9057Why then should he not eat?
9057Why then was John afraid?
9057Why then was John overcome with terror?
9057Why then, I ask, do you worship such a God?''
9057Why, I repeat, does God punish sin?
9057Why, having forgotten, could they not trust?
9057Will God give to another for our asking what he would not give without it?
9057Will a man ever love his enemies?
9057Will he not break open the shell for me, and let the truth of it, his thought, stream out upon me?
9057Will he plead against me with his great power?
9057Will his agony be a balm to my deep wound?
9057Will it not rather be a new- born law itself, working new things?
9057Will not a man be taught thus to believe the things he likes best, even to pray for that which he likes best?
9057Will not some heavenly dew descend cool upon the hot anger?
9057Will not this be the resurrection of the body?
9057Will that be a rendering to me of my due?
9057Will the Lord ever tell us why he cried so?
9057Will the living God let such a man''s opinions damn him?
9057Will their hearts sink within them when they look on the real likeness of us?
9057With him to aid my justice, new risen with him from the dead, shall I not make good amends?
9057Would God give us love, the root of power, in us, and leave that love, whereby he himself creates, altogether helpless in us?
9057Would he find them, even then, beyond the tyranny of appearances, believing in spite of them?
9057Would he have let his Son die for a law of nature, as we call it?
9057Would he not be better pleased if I left it altogether to him?''
9057Would he not begin to see more plainly his shortcomings, the larger scope of their requirements?
9057Would he not die yet again to save one brother more?
9057Would he not have died, not of splendour, not of sorrow,( terror was not there,) but of the actual sight of the incomprehensible?
9057Would he not, if it could be done without the person''s self, do it without a second person?
9057Would it anyway atone?
9057Would it bring him nearer to them, who could not see him in the face of his Son?
9057Would it give him a right to the watch?
9057Would it not be hard to persuade you that they ever did so behave?
9057Would it not be the evil- faced child, because he needed it most?
9057Would 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?
9057Would it not indeed amount to a sufficing atonement as between man and man?
9057Would it set anything right?
9057Would it show God justified in doing what he knew would bring sin into the world, justified in making creatures who he knew would sin?
9057Would not each be filled with the sense of his own wants, and be for ever tearing to himself?
9057Would not the different evil require a different_ form_ of forgiveness?
9057Would there be any making- up for sin?
9057Would there be less sin in the universe?
9057Would there not lie, in the thief''s confession and submission and initial restoration, an appeal to the divinest in me-- to the eternal brotherhood?
9057Would we not let all the tenderness of our nature flow forth upon such a child?
9057Would you have me think you guilty of the sin against the Holy Ghost-- that you_ understand_ Jesus Christ and yet will not obey him?
9057Would you not speak after some such fashion?
9057Wronged in our presence, do we make no sign that we hold by it?
9057Yes, verily, but what of that?
9057You begin to see it?
9057You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate"?
9057You may say,''How could that be, seeing he knew what was in man?''
9057You say you do not refuse to obey him?
9057You think your common sense enough to let you know what he means?
9057You 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?
9057a heart which is the inmost chamber wherein springs the divine fountain of your being?
9057a hint of vague and false horror?
9057a man hold the doctrine of devils, and yet be of God?''
9057a stone to build into his temple, or a Boanerges to wield his thunder?
9057and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power?''
9057and is not faith the highest act of which the human mind is capable?
9057and shall not the living Justice avenge his praying friends over whose injuries he has to exercise a long- suffering patience towards their enemies?''
9057and shall that will, praying with the will of the Father, find itself cramped, fettered, manacled by foregone laws?
9057and shall"Christ as we believe him"choose according to the sight of the eye?
9057and talk deceitfully for him?''
9057and wherein would a victory over such be a victory for the race?
9057and''How is it that ye do not understand?''
9057but can any Christian believe it was from love to Lazarus that Jesus wept?
9057but if he gave me being, then it means no reception, but a repudiation.--"O Father, am I not your child?"''
9057but when were his garments white as snow?
9057but''What would the Living One have me do?''
9057could you give me something to give him, or give him something for me?''
9057do not even the publicans so?
9057do not even the publicans the same?
9057does Death so serve him-- so ransom him?
9057for eternal life, to let dead things drop?
9057have 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?
9057his breath to move upon the face of the waters of the Chaos he has made?
9057how can the clay claim from the potter?
9057how then can I deserve eternal torment?
9057how will the child go on to pray if he knows the Father can not answer him?
9057is he to be obliged to one outside his kingdom-- to the untrue, the ignoble, for money?
9057is it not by his consciousness that I am conscious?
9057it is a terrible-- shall it be a lonely glory this?
9057lose his rich friends, and he of the Master''s household?
9057nay, is it not his thinking in which I think?
9057nearest, though with the gulf between, wherewith the heavens are higher than the earth?
9057not"What will God do if I do so and so?"
9057of the same body though not of the same dead matter?
9057of the self whose end is not comfort, or enjoyment, but blessedness, yea, ecstasy?
9057of the_ self_ that suffers, not pain, but misery?
9057or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock Him?''
9057or did the Master believe he had kept the commandments perfectly?
9057or is he an indwelling, willing, ordering power?
9057or that, bending your energies to the absolute perfection he requires, you have the more perceived the impossibility of fulfilling the law?
9057or worse, make frantic efforts to rouse them?
9057or, if Satan might be so foolish, wherein could such temptation so presented have tempted our Lord?
9057or, ten times worse, relapse into a state of temporary atheism, and yield to the pressing temptation?
9057shall a man love his neighbour as himself, and must he be content not to know him in heaven?
9057some genial rain- drop on the dry selfishness?
9057some glance of sunlight on the cloudy hopelessness?
9057that because he declined to enter into life the door of life was closed against him?
9057that he does not think about himself but about them?
9057that he was therefore lost?
9057that his work refused as an obstruction the aid of wealth?
9057that 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?
9057that the battle of God could be better fought without its impediment?
9057that the casting of it away would make him one of God''s Anakim?
9057that which is, and that which is because the other is?
9057that which wills, and that which answers, owing to the will, the heart, the desire of the other, its power to answer?
9057that would map out the character of God, instead of crying, Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?
9057that, though impossible with men, this is possible with God?
9057the redeemed would cry,"where art thou, our strong Jesus?
9057thorough oneness with them?
9057to be corruption?
9057to be in hell?
9057to be that which is damned?
9057to deliver me from my sins, and make me clean and glad?
9057to quiet this uneasy motion called life, and make me live indeed?
9057to turn his hack on Mammon, and follow Jesus?
9057what am I to do?''
9057when a man does not know whether he believes or not, whether he loves or not?
9057when even the lovely selfishness of love- seeking has vanished, and the heart is absorbed in loving?
9057when the lesson he had to present to them was that of the divine nature of the child, that of childlikeness?
9057why did the servant of the Lord fall at his feet as one dead?
9057why not use it in the service of the Master?
9057wilt thou condemn me that thou mayest be righteous?''
9057would you rather keep this or that, with imperfection, than part with it to be perfect?
