This is the blessed life-not anxious to see far in front, nor eager to choose the path, but quietly following behind the Shepherd, one step at a time. The Shepherd was always out in front of the sheep. He was down in front. Any attack upon them had to take him into account. Now God is down in front. He is in the tomorrows. It is tomorrow that fills men with dread. God is there already. All the tomorrows of our life have to pass Him before they can get to us.

Christ's work needs no repetition. It is final because it is perfect.

The quiet life is by no means the greatest life. Some characters can only reach the highest standard of spirituality by the disturbings or displacings in the order of God's providence.

Consecration is not the act of our feelings but of our WILL.

The church which is not a missionary church will be a missing church when Jesus comes.

We never get so near God as when we plead for others.

There is no burden of the spirit but is lighter by kneeling under it.
