“A little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds.” Gen. 43: 11.
—To the Christian nothing can be so dark but there can be a bright side.
—THE heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touched by the thorns.—Moore.
—A MAN’S virtues should be measured, not by his occasional exertions, but by the doings of his ordinary life.
—MAN wastes his mornings in anticipating his afternoons, and wastes his afternoons in regretting his mornings.
—THERE is no sin we can be tempted to commit, but we shall find a greater satisfaction in resisting than committing.
—GOD is the safety of his people, but we tempt Providence if we do not make use of the necessary means for our preservation.
—WHEN you are reading a book in a dark room, and come to a difficult part, you take it to a window to get more light. So take your Bibles to Christ.—McCheyne.
—WHOEVER looks for a friend without imperfections will never find what he seeks. We love ourselves with all our faults, and we ought to love our friends in like manner.
A FIFTH-MONARCHY MAN.—The Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, preaching not long since from Rev. 5: 10, “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth,” said: “Do you know I am a fifth-monarchy man? In Cromwell’s time, some said there had been four monarchies, and the fifth would come and overturn every other. Well, I never wish to do as they did; but I believe with them, that a fifth monarchy shall come. There have now existed four great monarchies (Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome) arrogating universal dominion, and there never shall be another world-wide monarchy until Christ shall come. Jesus our Lord is to be King of all the earth, and rule all nations in a glorious, personal reign. The saints, as being kings in Christ, have a right to the whole world.”
