Just as people in a foreign land that love their country always are glad to have plenty of letters from the country, I hope we have much communication with the old fatherland.

James Merritt's quoting Albert Einstein Billy Sunday

~ D E A T H ~ WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die.

It was said of the Persians that, whenever they went to battle, you could hear the sticks of the captains who were beating the soldiers to make them fight, but they won no victories. Look, on the other hand, at the brave Spartan. He was glad at the very thought of fighting; he lived in it. He was a born…

A minister, preaching upon the text, “Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no healer there?” (Jer 8:22) made the remark that Christ is a good Physician. “Christ is not like those doctors who come and say they are sorry for you, whereas in their hearts they are glad you are ill, for if you and others…

“From the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born from Hebrews.” Paul shakes out the whole lot for the dogs, and is glad to be rid of it all for Christ’s sake.

When a house is finished there still goes on a measure of settlement, and you are glad if it settles all in a piece together. Every day the stone is brought by its own weight a little closer to the foundation; may every day’s pressure bring you and me closer to Christ. Oh, that the pressure of our joys…

A fair garden is before us. We look over the wall, and are even allowed to stand at the door while one hands out to us baskets of golden apples. This is very delightful.

One of the early Saxon kings was rowed down the river Dee by Kenneth of Scotland, and seven other vassal kings, who each one tugged an oar while their lord reclined in state.

It seems to me to be one of the highest delights of life for people to permit you to work for God without being interrupted by their praises or censures. When I have seen a certain great artist at work, I have only peeped at him from a corner and have kept out of his sunshine. I am quite sure he did…

I have heard of persons who have been physicians who were ill or weary and needed rest. An accident has happened, and they have felt inclined to get out of the way if they could because they were very hard-worked and worn out. They have told their servant to say, “My master is not at home!” But my Master…

There is a little mischief in the village about Miss A or Mr. B, and Mrs. Tittle-tattle is up as early as possible, and calls on Mrs. Scandal, and says, “Have you heard the sad news? I hope it is not true.” “No, I have not heard it.” “Well, don’t mention it to anybody else. I hope it is not correct,…

I never wonder when I hear of some professing Christians giving up Christianity, for they have never experienced the joy of it. It was only a burden to them. When a poor fellow has a load on his back that does not belong to him and does not yield him any comfort but only galls his shoulders, you are…

In The Pilgrim’s Progress, as Christian was going along the exceedingly narrow pathway with a deep ditch on one side and a dangerous quagmire upon the other, he came to a stand. He had half a thought to go back, and then again he thought he might be halfway through the valley, so he resolved to go on.…

Some people are always fretting and fuming; they appear to have been born in stormy weather, and to be perpetually agitated in mind so that they cannot rest. Only the other day, a gardener I knew of was complaining greatly of the heavy rain, which had done some damage to the garden where he was working.…

If you were on board a vessel, and had lost your bearings, you would be glad enough to see a pilot in the offing.
