We read in olden times of many of the most eminent servants of God being dressed in the poorest manner. When good Bishop Hooper was led out to be burnt, he had been long in prison, and his clothes were so gone from him that he borrowed an old scholar’s gown, full of rags and holes, that he might put…

It is said to have been the distinguishing mark of Caesar as a soldier that he never said to his followers “Go!” but he always said “Come!” Of Alexander, also, it was noted that in weary marches he was sure to be on foot with his warriors, and in fierce attacks he always was in the vanguard. The most…

An owl is a fine bird to look at, but he is a very small bird when he is plucked. He is nearly all feathers, and I think that a great many professing Christians are very like owls. They are fine birds to look at, but it is mostly feathers. Just see whether it is mostly feathers with you. Spurgeon, C.…

People can tell lies when they hold their tongues. There was a little girl at school who always held her hand up when the boys and girls were asked to show that they knew the answer to any question that had been put to them. One afternoon she held her hand up when she did not know the answer, and a classmate…

You know how a judge will stop a witness when he begins to say what others have told him: “No, no,” he says, “what did you see yourself? What do you know about this business on your own account? I do not want to know what others said to you about it.” So is it with the message delivered from the pulpit.…

You say that he is “a rewarder of those who seek him”; do you despise the reward? Are you content with having made a profession of religion? Some professing Christians remind me of the reply of the child who was asked at the Sunday school about her father, who never went to any place of worship. “Is…

What strength holy living in his people gives to the preacher of the word of God! Imagine a man comes before you and says, “There is, somewhere about here, an invisible lake, containing the purest, coolest, and most refreshing water that you ever drank.

A person asked me one day, “Is not such-and-such a person a Baptist?” I replied, “I do not know him.” He said, “He is a fellow who says a very long grace before his dinner, and he goes to such-and-such a chapel.” “Well,” I answered, “If he goes there, he certainly attends a Baptist chapel.” Then he said,…

A “richly supplied” entrance has sometimes been illustrated in this way. You see yonder ship. After a long voyage, it has neared the haven, but is much injured; the sails are rent to ribbons, and it is in such a forlorn condition that it cannot come up to the harbor: a steam-tug is pulling it in with…

Shall we keep back the children’s bread lest the dogs should steal the crumbs? Shall we destroy health-restoring drugs because fools may poison themselves with them? Shall all the trees be cut down for fear the owls should build their nest in them? Shall the sea be dried up because sharks swim in it?…

There are two gentlemen of equal rank in society, and the one is not at all obliged to the other. They, being equal, can easily feel a disinterested admiration for each other’s characters, and a consequent disinterested affection.

If a hungry person were at your door and asked for bread, you would give it to him, whatever might be his character. You will also give your child food, whatever may be his behavior. You will not deny your child anything that is necessary for life; you will never proceed in any course of discipline against…

Some of our teachers wanted us to learn the big doctrines first, and they did not like it because we could not at once see all the sublime truths of election and predestination. Certain of the old standards who are very orthodox expect all newborn babes to eat meat at once; as soon as ever a person is…

My observation of personal character has been somewhat wide, and I cannot help bearing my testimony that I am greatly afraid of men who make loud professions of superior sanctity.

Holiness is not the cause of spiritual life and safety; faith is the wellspring of all. In the spring you see the hawthorn covered with a delicious luxuriance of snow-white flowers, loading the air with fragrance, but no one among the admiring gazers supposes that those sweet blossoms caused the hawthorn…
