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…

If a grandfather of ours should die and leave us five hundred pounds, what a merciful providence that would be! If by something strange in business we were suddenly to accumulate a fortune, that would be a blessed providence! If an accident happens, and we are preserved, and our limbs are not hurt, that…

I have told you before of the bricklayer who fell off a scaffold, and was taken up so injured that it was seen that he must soon die. A good clergyman, bending over him, said, “My dear man, you had better make your peace with God.” The poor fellow opened his eyes and said, “Make my peace with God, sir?…

I heard of a good man who went down the Rhine, but took care to read a book all the way for fear he should have his mind taken off heavenly topics by the beauties of nature. I confess I do not understand such a spirit—I do not want to. If I go into an artist’s house I do that artist a displeasure if…

As the workman when his six days’ work is over goes up to his master’s pay table and waits for his wage, we believe that the meritorious work by which heaven is procured for us is all done. Therefore, we are waiting in the name of Jesus to take the reward that as a matter of justice is due to Him, and…

One day, many years back, a thick darkness came over the United States. Now and then in London we have dreadfully dark days for which we can scarcely account, but this was quite a new experience for the New Englanders, and caused a terrible sensation. So exceedingly black was it that the barn door fowls…

Have you never seen a canvas upon which the hand of the painter has sketched with daring pencil some marvelous scene of grandeur? You see where the living color has been laid on with an almost superhuman skill. But the artist was suddenly struck dead, and the hand that worked miracles of art was palsied…

There is a father, and he thinks that to go to his work—such common work as his—cannot be especially pleasing in God’s sight. He means to serve God, and so he stops at home. He is upstairs in prayer when the factory bell is ringing and he ought to be there. He hears that there is a conference in the…

When I was seeking the Lord, I not only believed that I could not pray without divine help, but I felt in my very soul that I could not. Then I could not even feel aright, or mourn as I would, or groan as I would. I longed to long more after Christ. Alas! I could not even feel that I needed Him as I…

It is no new thing for men to attempt to escape the army by pretending to be in bad health, but we must have none of this cowardly malingering in Christ’s army. We must be ready for anything and everything. We must compel ourselves to duty when it goes against the grain. When it is a clear duty, obedience…

Christians, never be satisfied with being merely saved. Up with you! Away! Off! Go onward to the high mountains, to the clearer light, to the brighter joy! If saved, and brought, like the shipwrecked mariner, to shore, is that enough? Yes, for the moment it is enough to warrant the purest satisfaction…

The sportsman will tell you that there may be many birds in a field, but you do not know how many until you walk through. Then you discover them and see them on the wing. When the wheel turns you will be able to see the force of the current. You will see the speed of the horse when you put him to his…

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…
