THE IDEAL WIFE Always beautiful and cheerful. Could have married movie stars but wanted only you. Beauty that won’t run in a rainstorm. Never sick. Just allergic to jewelry and fur coats. Insists that moving furniture by herself is good for her figure. Expert in cooking, cleaning the house, fixing the…

Getting into fights A young couple drove several miles down a country road, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument, and neither wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules and pigs, the husband sarcastically asked, "Are they relatives of yours?" "Yes,"…

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…

John Bunyan beautifully portrays Christiana and Mercy coming up out of the bath of the interpreter’s house. They have had jewels put upon them, and when they are both washed, Mercy says to Christiana, “How comely and beautiful you look!” “No,” Christiana said, “My sister, I see no beauty in myself, but…

At present, it is with us as it is with the world during the winter. If you had not seen the miracle wrought again and again, you would not guess, when you look upon those black beds in the garden, or when you walk over that snowy and frosty covering, crisp and hard beneath your feet, that the earth…

You have noticed at night a star. It is only a little spark comparatively, but still it is very bright, and everybody says, “Do you see that star?” Yes, but there is a moon; why does not everybody say, “Look what a beautiful moon?” They notice the star first, because it is not usual to see stars so brilliant.…

If you send a kite or a buzzard flying over a tract of country, what will it see? Why, it will be looking out for all the dead carcasses, and it will be sure to be able to tell you how much carrion there is about. But if you send a dove over that same space, it won’t have an eye for it, for it has no…

A beautiful spirit worthy of a Christian was that of a man who found his horse in the pound one day. The farmer who put it in said, “I found your horse in my field, and I put it in the pound. If I ever catch it there again, I’ll put it in again.” “Well,” replied the other, “I found six of your cows in…

When a king is journeying through a foreign country, he does not wear his crown or the rest of his regalia; he often travels incognito. Even when he reaches his own country, he does not put on his royal robes for fools to admire at every village fair. He is not a puppet king, strutting upon the stage…

If in reading the history of the first Christian centuries you are asked to point out the men to be envied for their joy, you would point to the believers in Jesus. There is a room in Rome that is filled with the busts of the emperors. They look like a collection of prizefighters and murderers, and scarcely…

I have heard it said that the good sculptor, whenever he sees a suitable block of marble, firmly believes that there is a statue concealed within it. His business is but to take away the superfluous material, and so unveil the “thing of beauty” which shall be “a joy forever.” Believer, you are that block…

You have seen a noble fountain in a city adorning a public square. See how the water leaps into the air; then it falls into a circular basin that fills and pours out its fullness into another lower down, and this again floods a third. Hear the merry splash as the waters fall in showers and cataracts…

To have the form of godliness without the power of it is to lack constancy in your religion. It is a very hot and thirsty day, and you are riding on a camel. Suddenly there rises before you a beautiful scene. Just a little way from you are brooks of water flowing between beds of osiers and banks of reeds…

A man takes a mass of metal. It appears to you very pure, and very beautiful to look at. It is alloyed. He puts it into his refining pot, he heats the coals, and he begins to stir it. You say to him, “What are you doing? You are spoiling that precious metal. See how foul the surface is! What a scum floats…

I remember well going to speak to the minister and telling him that I hoped I had found the Savior, and begging him to ask me such questions as he thought fit to test me. The true pilgrim never wishes to enter the house Beautiful if he does not have a right to be there; he is afraid that he may be guilty…

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…

Fruit does not start from the tree perfectly ripe at once. First comes a flower, then a tiny formation that shows that the flower has set. Then a berry appears, but it is very sour. You may not gather it. Leave it alone a little while, and allow the sun to ripen it. By and by it fills out, and you have…

THE STORY I was born in 1725, and I died 1807. The only godly influence in my life, as far back as I can remember, was my mother, whom I had for only seven years. When she left my life through death, I was virtually an orphan. My father remarried, sent me to a strict military school, where the severity…
