The officers were after our Lord, and He knew it. He could spy them out in the crowd, but He was not therefore in the least afraid or disconcerted. He reminds me of that minister who, when he was about to preach, was stopped by a soldier, who held a pistol at his head and threatened that if he spake he would kill him. '^ Soldier," said he, ''do your duty; I shall do mine;'' and he went on with his preaching. The Saviour, without saying as much in words, said so by His actions.

Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life ; many spirits might have failed beneath the bitterness of trial if they had not found a friend.

Those who disdain to live for God will live for their own bellies.

A man's handwriting binds him. Now, we may be sure that the Lord will never deny his own writing nor run back from a bond given under his own hand and seal. Every promise of Scripture is a writifig of God, which may be pleaded before Him with this reasonable request: ''Do as Thou hast said."

No man hears his pastor preach without deriving some benefit from him, if he has earnestly prayed for him.

Cast your eye over every land, glance from the pole to the equator, and along to the other pole, and see if this be not the universal law, that man must be dissolved in death.

Still further to confirm the faith of the disciples, and to show them that their Lord had a real body, and not the mere form of one, He gave them evidence which appealed to their common sense. He said, "Have ye any meat? And they gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And He took it, and did eat before them." This was an exceedingly convincing proof of his unquestionable resurrection. In very deed and fact, and not in vision and phantom, the man who had died upon the cross stood among them.

Not much good comes of picking holes in other men's characters, and yet many spend hours in that unprofitable occupation.

Success is the crucible of character.
