Some will come into God's house and undertake God's service during the Sabbath day, and yet during the week they are unjust, oppressive, graceless, and greedy—not servants of God, but servants of self and sin.

If there was anything rotten in the state of our salvation we should fear that it would fail us at last. But our foundation is sure, for the Lord has excavated down to the rock; He has taken away every bit of mere sentiment and sham and His salvation is real throughout.

It is ill to be a saint without and a devil within.

We shall be wise to make secular things sacred by trusting them with God.

When desires are so weighty that they burden our words and even crush them down, then are they most prevalent with God.

Good men's memories sometimes fail them.

Life without struggle and difficulty is thin and tasteless. How can a noble life be constructed if there be no difficulty to overcome, no suffering to bear ?

You lay it down as a programme that you must be saved in that way or not at all. Is this right? Is this wise? Do you mean to dictate to the Lord?

There is an old nature in us which fights against God still; but the new nature, which is of divine origin, cries after God as a child after its mother.

Let no man think of himself beyond his own experience. Experience is the true gauge; and he who boasts of an untried faith is puffed up with vain glory.

A fuller reward will be ours when the Lord shall come a second time and our bodies shall rise from the grave to share in the glorious reign of the descended King. Then in our perfect manhood we shall behold the face of Him we love and shall be like Him.

It is a cruel thing to tease quick-tempered people, for, though it may be sport to you, it is death to them; at least, it is death to their peace, and may be something worse.

If thou be a child of God thou wilt as surely pray as a

man breathes or as a child cries; thou canst not help it.

No dish ever comes to table which is so nauseous as cold religion. Put it away. Neither God nor man can endure it.

That which made Dr. Guthrie ask for a ''bairn's hymn " when he was dying is but an instinct of our nature, which leads us to complete the circle by folding together the ends of life. Childlike things are dearest to old age.

Many matters are real difficulties to young believers which are no difficulties to us who have been longer in the way. You and I could clear up in ten minutes' conversation questions and doubts which cause our uninstructed friends months of misery.

The pendulum swings to and fro, advancing and retreating, but yet there is a real progress made; you cannot see it by watching the pendulum, but up higher on the face of the clock there is evidence of an onward march and of a coming hour.
