When you know a man, if he is your intimate friend, you trust him, you love him, you esteem him, you are on speaking terms with him. You not only bow to him in the street, but you go to his house, you sit down with him at his table. At other times, you hold counsel with him, or you ask his assistance.…

The Word of God gets at the very marrow of our manhood; it lays bare the secret thoughts of the soul.

Especially at this present time it is incumbent upon Christians to learn how to use the discerning faculty with regard to what is, and what is not, truth.

If children have learned a thing by heart, rather than merely by rote, they have made it their own, and it remains with them.

I read in the life of good Dr. Brown that when he first preached he heard two women at the door talking to one another about his sermon. One of them said to the other, “Ah!
