A Holy Life Will Produce The Deepest Impression. Lighthouses Blow No Horns; They Only Shine.

I Firmly Believe That The Moment Our Hearts Are Emptied Of Pride And Selfishness And Ambition And Self-seeking And Every Thing That Is Contrary To God's Law, The Holy Ghost Will Come And Fill Every Corner Of Our Hearts; But If We Are Full Of Pride And Conceit And Ambition And Self-seeking And Pleasure And The World, There Is No Room For The Spirit Of God; And I Believe Many A Man Is Praying To God To Fill Him When He Is Full Already With Something Else.

We May Not Be Able To Do Any Great Thing; But If Each Of Us Will Do Something, However Small It May Be, A Good Deal Will Be Accomplised For God.

Where One Man Reads The Bible, A Hundred Read You And Me.

'faith Cometh By Hearing And Hearing By The Word Of God' (rom. 10:17). That Is Whence Faith Comes. It Is Not For Me To Sit Down And Wait For Faith To Come Stealing Over Me With A Strong Sensation, But Is For Me To Take God At His Word.
