If we have not enough in our religion . . . to share it with all the world, it is doomed here at home.

To be aroused in the dark by five feet of cold, green snake gliding over one's face is unpleasant.

There is a Ruler above, and His Providence guides all things. He is our Friend and has plenty of work for all His people to do. It is such a blessing and a privilege to be led into His work instead of into the service of the hard taskmasters - the Devil and sin.
