We have sometimes heard of a brother who has become great and rich in the world. He has some poor brother or some distant relative, and when he sees him in the street he is obliged to speak to him and own him. I dare say he wished him a long way off, especially if some rich acquaintance happened to be…

A certain monk went to a monastery, determined to give himself up entirely to contemplation and meditation. When he reached the place he saw all the monks at work, tilling the ground, plowing, or trimming the vines round the monastery. He very solemnly observed as he entered, “Do not work for the food…

Galatians 6:1 does not mean that we are to spy out our brother’s faults. There is a story of John Wesley going several times to a certain town where he thought that there was a band of earnest Christian people. But he was met by a brother who told him how dead they all were, what little life there was…

Do you see that clock? That is the evidence of the time of day. The hour would be precisely the same if we did not have that evidence. Still, we find the clock of great use. So we say that good works are the best evidence of spiritual life in the soul. Is it not written, “We know that we have passed…

If another man has to carry 100 pounds, and he can just carry that and no more, he is in exactly the same condition as you are. Here is a brother who has a large measure full of manna,…

I remember one who spoke on the missionary question one day saying, “The great question is not, ‘Will not the heathen be saved if we do not send them the gospel?’ but ‘are we saved ourselves if we do not send them the gospel?’ ” And so it is with regard to Christian gifts. It is not so much a question…

When John Philpot, the martyr, was addressing a young man about to die for Christ, he said to him, “Brother, you are a vessel in the great house of your Master, and this day he will scour you, scour you hard, but remember you will soon stand upon the shelf, shining bright and glorious.” Sometimes pains,…

I remember an old countryman saying to me, long ago, “Depend upon it, my brother, if you or I get one inch above the ground, we get just that inch too high”; and I believe it is so. Flat on our faces before the cross of Christ is the place for us; realizing that we ourselves are nothing, and that Jesus…

I have seen, at a railway station, gentlemen with first-class tickets walking up and down the platform unable to find a first-class carriage; and if the train was going on they have jumped in the third class so as to get to their journey’s end.

There used to be on the top of Snowdon a raised platform for certain people to stand upon who wanted to see a little further than others.

Think of your dear little one at home. He cannot yet read a letter in a book; he knows nothing of the things that his elder brother studies; but he knows his father. He may not know very much about his father; he could not certainly speak to others about his father’s business or his father’s wealth,…

I remember a minister calling upon a poor old saint, and before coming away he said he hoped that the Divine Father would constantly visit the sick man.
