THERE are two motives which have influenced us in the production of this little book. We have sought, on the one hand, to supply aids to devotion either for the use of the family or of the individual, and on the other, to furnish points of suggestion to the student who is a prospective preacher. Perhaps it may he thought that these two aims are incongruous, and it would be too much to hope that in both we have succeeded; yet devotion is not the absence of thought, and thought is not necessarily the absence of devotion. At all events, the presence in the mind of two so reactionary aims may ...

THE note which runs through Doctor Slicer's "Meditations" is that of expectancy of good from God, God's universe, and God's creature Man. He believes with all his heart that God's very essence is love, that the universe abounds in beauty and loveliness which Man is capable of appreciating and responding to, and that in human nature itself there are large elements of gentleness, dignity, and sympathetic loyalty which since history began have been winning successive victories over inherited animal propensities, barbaric vices, and social and industrial wrong-doings. He believes in the gradual...

What would you give to have Jesus with you — with you as He once was with people in the long ago? When reading about Him have you not felt that you were reading of an absent person — one whom you would see in the next life, but not here? If you love a person very dearly you cannot bear to be away from him; you feel that by staying away you wrong the loved one as well as yourself. I do not see how Jesus could love me very much and willingly be absent from me. I do not feel satisfied when told that He sees me; I want to see Him. Reading of Jesus in the Bible makes people hungry to have ...

I WOULD like to make this letter to you a short and joyous sermon. My text contains only two words, but I believe them to be the sweetest two words that human ear ever heard. They are: “Thou shalt.” It is the old way of saying you must. I presume you do not at all like “must,” but I want to tell you that everything depends upon how, or where, the “must” is used. Some words are sweet or bitter, according to how they are employed. The word “must” is generally used in trying to compel one to do something that he dislikes; but sometimes it is employed to encourage a person to ...

But will God so “bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” that no wandering thought will find a place in the mind, even while we remain in the body? So some have vehemently maintained; yea, have affirmed that none are perfected in love unless they are so far perfected in understanding, that all wandering thoughts are done away; unless not only every affection and temper be holy and just and good, but every individual thought which arises in the mind be wise and regular. This is a question of no small importance. For how many of those who fear God, yea, and love ...

“A RIGHTEOUS MAN REGARDETH THE LIFE OF HIS BEAST.” PROVERBS XII. 10. THE word regard is of two-fold signification, and may either apply to the moral or to the intellectual part of our nature. In the one application, the intellectual, it is the regard of attention. In the other, the moral, it is the regard of sympathy, or kindness. We do not marvel at this common term having been applied to two different things; for, in truth, they are most intimately associated; and the faculty by which a transition is accomplished from the one to the other, may be considered as the intermediate link ...

Nearly all the chapters and the title of the book, was given to me one afternoon in June, 1896, while traveling on the train from Toronto to Detroit I have not been able to put into the book all the things that I had hoped to, and have had to write out many of the chapters at intervals, amid other pressing labors. Amid the multitude of books in recent years on Christian holiness, most of them treat of the human side, explaining sin, consecration, faith, and religious duties. A very few of them treat mainly of the Divine side, of the perfection of the Divine nature; and I know of none that ...

As we start upon our spiritual navigation from the great mountains and forests of the wild life of nature, we must be content to take the lowest and humblest steps that belong to beginners. The lowest class of vessels that go by water are those of the tow-boat rank, such as are used on canals, and barges for hauling slow and heavy freight. There are two classes of boats that we must utilize in our journey before we come to the sail boat, which, in a proper sense, represents the life of a regenerated believer; of one who has the assurance of the Spirit that he is a child of God. In like ...

I want to teach you a song — one which in the long ago echoed o’er the Galilean hills. I am sure you will try to keep time to its music, for it must strike a responsive chord in your heart. It is not a battle-hymn, though it may nerve one for battle. It is not a song of victory, though in it is assurance of victory. Its refrain is, “Rest, rest, rest.” ’Tis a song they sing beside the crystal sea in the heaven-land, and there is not a false note in its cadence as they sing it there. It is a true answer to the hearths cry, “Oh, where shall rest be found?” It tells of lifted ...

The Grief that implies Glory “He began to teach them, that the Son of Man must suffer many things.”—Mark viii. 31. “HE began to teach them.” It was indeed the beginning of a new lesson for humanity. The old lesson for humanity had been that a “Son of Man” must suffer nothing—that the higher the life the more exempt should it be from pain. That belief was embedded deep in the heart both of Gentile and Jew. The Gentile deified massive strength—strength on which the woes of the world could make no impression and which was incapable of tears. The Jew exalted the sons of the ...
