The poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished up, and it grew up together with him and with his children. It did eat of his own meat and drink of his own cup and lay in his bosom. It was to him as a daughter. There came a traveler to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd to dress for the wayfaring man that was come to him. He took the poor man's lamb and dressed it for that man that was come to him.

Behind every progress the spirit stands a thousand men to guard the past

Many feel that their faults of character make it impossible for them to meet the standard that Christ has erected. But all that such ones have to do is to humble themselves at every step under the mighty hand of God. Christ does not estimate the man by the amount of work that he does but by the spirit in which the work is performed.

The Holy Spirit strives with every man. It is the voice of God speaking to the soul. You can not see the operating agency, but you can see its effects.

Why can't we see the Holy Spirit? Because you can't see the voice of God, his power or influence

The scriptures are the great agency in this transformation of character. Christ prayed: "sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth." John 17:17. If studied end obeyed, the word of God works in the heart subduing every and unholy attribute

The sabbath, the nature of man, and the testimony of Jesus are the three things that will be pivotal in the upcoming surprise.

How must it hurt Jesus when we fail? When Satan and his angels taunt him: "these are your followers. These are those who are preparing for heaven."

The work of God is to believe on him whom he has sent. When you are ready to cooperate with him. Who can keep you from falling your resolution will be of some value. He will give strength and victory

We need not remain in terror of God. For Christ came to reveal his paternal love toward his adopted children.

Jehovah is merciful, compassionate, and tender.

Let us have more confidence in our redeemer.

Have faith in God. Trustful dependence on Jesus makes victory not only possible but certain.
