You know how a judge will stop a witness when he begins to say what others have told him: “No, no,” he says, “what did you see yourself? What do you know about this business on your own account? I do not want to know what others said to you about it.” So is it with the message delivered from the pulpit.…

If you had to manage waterworks for the distribution of water all over this city, and there was a certain pipe into which you poured water, and none ever came out at the other end, do you know what you would do? You would take it out and say, “This does not suit my purpose. I want a pipe that will give…

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…

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. Would you eat all meat indiscriminately without tasting and testing its quality? If so, would you not soon be ill? Does a man take any drug that may…

Think what an injury and injustice would be inflicted upon all the honest men in London if the thieves were never punished for their roguery. It would be making the innocent suffer if you allowed the guilty to escape. God, therefore, not out of arbitrary choice, but from necessity of rightness, must…

You never saw a fly on the dome of St. Paul’s; it would have been too small an object for you to see when walking around the cathedral. Now, a fly on the dome of St. Paul’s is a monstrous being, a marvelous individual, compared with you crawling about this world. It bears a much larger proportion to…

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…

A child might point us to a bright mirror reflecting the sun, and he might cry, “In this is light!” You and I would say, “Poor child, that is only borrowed brightness. The light is not there, but in the sun.” The love of saints is nothing more than the reflection of the love of God. We have love, but…

One Day One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend…

We must learn to love during the good times and the bad. But we should always remember that love happens despite us and when we least expect it.
