We have heard of some who on the battlefield have been seeking for the dead; they have turned their faces up and looked at them, but did not know them. But the tender wife has come, and there was some deep wound, some saber cut that her husband had received upon his breast, and she said “It is he; I…

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…

In some of the houses not far from here, I noticed some linnets in cages, in which there were tufts of grass or small branches of trees as perches for the poor prisoners; yet they were singing away right merrily. I suppose that grass and those fragments of trees were meant to remind them, in this great,…

If I am a child of God, I learn to trust my Father. I do not know a more delightful act of childhood than trustfulness in a parent. And how often if we trust God we shall be rewarded! Yesterday, I received a note from one of the trustees of the orphanage to say that the running account was so low that,…

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…

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…

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…

I have heard of a fine gentleman in London, dressed in all his best, walking out in the park. He had a poor old father who lived in the country, and who came up dressed in his rustic clothes to see his son. As the son was not at home when the father reached the house, he went into the park to find him.…

When the Moravian missionaries first went to Greenland, they were months and months teaching the poor Greenlander about the Godhead, the doctrine of the Trinity, and the doctrine of sin and the law, and no converts were forthcoming. But one day, by accident, one of the Greenlanders happened to read that…

A newspaper editor was instructing a new reporter in some of the important details of his job. "Never state as a fact anything you are not absolutely sure about," said the editor. "To avoid putting the paper in the position of stating something which it may not be able to prove, you should always use…

What happened to you when YOU received Jesus? Do you remember? A man named Sanger said, "When I received Jesus - its like I swallowed the sunshine." David Livingstone, the great missionary, said "When I first trusted Christ I felt like I was instantly healed of COLORBLINDNESS." Receiving Jesus means…

“World, Does Not Know Us” During WWI one of my predecessors at Tenth Presbyterian Church, Donald Grey Barnhouse, led the son of a prominent American family to the Lord. He was in the service, but he showed the reality of his conversion by immediately professing Christ before the soldiers of his military…

THE LOVE OF GOD: */“There was a little girl who was carried to a children’s home many years ago who had been disfigured in a fire. Her face was scarred and it was very ugly and very unbecoming. When the little girl, along with some other little children, was brought to the train terminal where the superintendent…
