SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE. Park Benjamin, in his "Age of Electricity," explains to us how that "around the pole of a magnet there exists a strange atmosphere, a so-called ‘field of force,’ in which exists strains, and pulls, and pushes, as if a host of infinitesimal beings were at work." This mysterious but real and potent influence … Continue reading “1068. SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE.”

DWELL DEEP. Geologists assure us that there still exists in the deep sea "living species of animals which, in former geologic periods dwelt in the coastal districts of the ocean." Here they seemed to have found an asylum from the dangers which seemed to threaten their very existence. Our safety, like theirs, depends upon our … Continue reading “1069. DWELL DEEP.”

RELIGIOUS BOGGLES. A boggler means a doubter, or one who has turned aside from the right path. We have all seen the potato boggle, and know that the object of it is to frighten the crows out of the field.

PROVISION FOR THE FLESH.”

JIB CHRISTIANS. It is not wise or safe to be turning about with every wind, like the weathercock. The jib-sail in front of the foremast shifts itself to catch the wind, the ship is thereby helped on its course. Old forms, like the windmill, may be beautiful, but they are useless when the power is … Continue reading “1062. JIB CHRISTIANS.”

THE NEW BIRTH. The law of limitation is everywhere visible in nature. Many attempts have been made to preserve the white bear, the Esquimaux dog, and the reindeer in this country, but without success. If such are to live in this kingdom either the climate must be changed or their natures must be transformed. The … Continue reading “1063. THE NEW BIRTH.”

EVANGELISTIC STEAM. It is very suggestive that the word "breath" literally means "steam," something gentle, yet most powerful, from a warm and glowing source. "Come, O breath, and breathe" (Eze_37:9). The Holy Ghost is the breath of God, the gentle, glowing all-powerful steam of the Almighty. A preacher filled with the Holy Ghost has always … Continue reading “1060. EVANGELISTIC STEAM.”
