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…

I have sometimes thought of the contrast between the poor man’s funeral and the rich man’s funeral.

The poor man is to be buried, but it can only be managed…

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.

Take pure and unadulterated milk, and let it stand, and you will soon get cream. Faith is the milk, and full assurance is the cream upon it.

It would never do for weak eyes to have the full light of the sun pouring down upon them. Often, when men are faint and nearly dying of hunger, they would be killed outright if strong meat were at once set before them. They must be gently fed as they are able to bear it. So God, knowing the feebleness…

A switchman on the railway does not turn the switch the right way, and one train crashes into another, and a hundred lives are lost. He may say to himself, “What a crime I committed by my carelessness,” and everybody denounces him for it. But suppose he forgot to turn the switch, and by a sort of miracle…

Have you ever considered how much you insult God the Father by rejecting Christ? If you were invited to a feast and you should come to the table and dash down every dish, and throw them on the ground, and trample on them, would not this be an insult?

We meet occasionally with people like the man who, when he was comparatively poor, gave his guinea, but when he grew rich, he only gave a shilling. His explanation was that when he had a shilling purse, he had a guinea heart; but when he had a guinea purse, he found that he had only a shilling heart.…

The man that has seen affliction, when he is blessed of God, has the disposition to cheer those that are afflicted. I have heard speak of a lady who was out in the snow one night, and was so very cold that she cried out, “Oh, those poor people that have such a little money! How little fuel they have,…

Did you ever visit the manufactory of splendid porcelain at Sèvres, France? I have done so.
