42518	Have you a fine- spun righteousness of your own?
42518	Have you any faith in yourself?
42518	Have you ever noticed that whenever the Lord afflicts us he selects the best possible time?
42518	Have you ever searched to the bottom of your profession?
42518	Have you ever seen a patient man insulted?
42518	Have you forgotten that you are nothing?
42518	Have you never heard of a person walking in the fields into whose bosom a bird has flown because pursued by the hawk?
42518	Have you never heard those accents?
42518	Have you not heard of persons who fall dead at their work?
42518	Have you turned over that question, or have you gone at it hit or miss?
42518	He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
42518	He comes with the word of promise and the smile of brotherly love at once, and he says to the new believer,"Have you confessed your faith?
42518	He goes to his Master with,"Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"
42518	He maketh the grass to grow all alone, and shall he not make you flourish despite your loneliness?
42518	Hear again:"Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
42518	Here is your dear child likely to die; will you not, dear parents, meet together and ask God to bless the death of that child, if it is to happen?
42518	How can I plant with success if my helper will not water what I have planted; or what is the use of my watering if nothing is planted?
42518	How can a man be void of understanding who has a field and a vineyard?
42518	How can you love your neighbor as yourself if you do not love his soul?
42518	How canst thou judge of what is good for thee?
42518	How comes it that there is within the ripe seed the preparations for another sowing and another growth?
42518	How could it be?
42518	How does he do this?
42518	How far is all this to be attributed to a neglectful church?
42518	How is it done?
42518	How long do you suppose it was before I saw that woman?
42518	How many are there of this sort here?
42518	How shall men hear without a teacher?
42518	How shall we escape from this very knowing and very captious sluggard?
42518	How shall we survive the censures of this dogmatic person?
42518	How wilt thou escape if thou wilt neglect so great salvation?
42518	How would it have fared with you had you also been smitten while riding at your ease?
42518	However, instead of asking what the church has been doing for this nineteen hundred years, let us ask ourselves, What are we going to do now?
42518	I am about to teach a difficult subject; will it do any good?
42518	I delight to think of heaven as_ his_ barn;_ his_ barn, what must that be?
42518	I have chosen an abstruse point of theology; will it serve any purpose?"
42518	I know we each one have some power to serve God; do we use it?
42518	I suggest to you young people especially that, in starting life, you say to yourselves,"What shall we live for?
42518	If God blesses"the springing thereof,"dear beginners, what will he not do for you in after days?
42518	If a new laborer comes on the farm, and he uses a hoe of a new shape, shall I become his enemy?
42518	If he did so what would remain to be believed?
42518	If he does his work better than I do mine, shall I be jealous?
42518	If it were not for this fact with what despairing agony should we utter the cry of Esaias,"Who hath believed our report?
42518	If men once said,"There is corn in Egypt,"may they not always say that the finest of the wheat is to be found in secret prayer?
42518	If the Law of heaven were as swift to punish as the law of man, where were we?
42518	If the Lord says this can any of us complain?
42518	If you and I were in God''s place, should we have borne it?
42518	If you cut down the blades, where will the ears come from?
42518	If you do not sow your faith by using it, how can it grow?
42518	If, as some tell us, the ethical part of Christianity is much more to be thought of than its peculiar doctrines, then, why did Jesus die at all?
42518	Indeed, the Lord has to restrain the servants of his anger, for the heavens cry,"Why should we cover that wretch''s head?"
42518	Is Jesus your life?
42518	Is glory the end and outcome of that which fills our home with mourning?
42518	Is it a matter of soul- concern with you to be reconciled to God, and to have an interest in Jesus''precious blood?
42518	Is it in dissipation that your life is to be spent?
42518	Is it not an insult to God''s_ wisdom_?
42518	Is it not because_ he has opportunities which he does not use_?
42518	Is it not generally understood that you must measure a man''s understanding by the amount of his ready cash?
42518	Is it not growing dreadfully likely that you will die in your sins and perish for ever?
42518	Is it not so?
42518	Is it not time that you bestirred yourself?
42518	Is it not to separate it from the straw and the chaff?
42518	Is it not written,"I will bring them under the rod of the covenant"?
42518	Is it not written,"Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth"?
42518	Is it not written,"So he giveth his beloved sleep"?
42518	Is not that a suggestive metaphor?
42518	Is not that enough?
42518	Is not the time come for an open confession?
42518	Is not this common sense?
42518	Is not this good reasoning?
42518	Is not this the way of wisdom?
42518	Is that it?
42518	Is that word true to your soul,"I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day?"
42518	Is the eternal happiness of the righteous the birth which comes of their death- pangs?
42518	Is the love of Jesus the principal wheat with us?
42518	Is there any bliss like the bliss of knowing that you are in Christ, and are the beloved of the Lord?
42518	Is there any room for patience now?
42518	Is there any secret corner of your heart which you will keep for Jesus?
42518	Is there here a wayside hearer?
42518	Is there no one here that will trust the Saviour?
42518	Is there not a promise,"In due season we shall reap, if we faint not"?
42518	Is there one who prays within himself,"God be merciful to me a sinner"?
42518	Is there such a being?
42518	Is this a thing to be winked at?
42518	Is this a trifle?
42518	Is this going to last forever?
42518	Is this the spirit of Christ?
42518	Is this wise?
42518	It is fine talk, certainly; but doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518	It may be at the first seeking I may not find; what then?
42518	It may happen that at my first asking I shall not receive; what then?
42518	It will be ripened; but can_ you_ do it?
42518	Kept by the eternal Spirit of God, shall there not be produced in us fruits to his glory?
42518	Know ye not that the church is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all?
42518	Knowest thou anything about this?
42518	Listen:"Doth the ploughman plough all day?"
42518	Man, hast thou never cultivated thy heart?
42518	May I next ask you to look into_ your own house_ and home?
42518	May there not come a day when the millions of London shall worship God with one consent?
42518	Might he not have said,"Friend, why doest thou this?
42518	Moreover,_ sin makes God''s creatures unhappy_, and shall not the Lord, therefore, abhor it?
42518	Must I work always where nothing comes of it?
42518	Must his preachers continue to cast pearls before swine?
42518	My brethren, is not meditation the land of Goshen to you?
42518	Need we enlarge upon this terror?
42518	Note again that, if it be not farmed for God,_ the soul will yield its natural produce_; and what is the natural produce of land if left to itself?
42518	O rock, wouldst thou become like wax?
42518	O rock, wouldst thou dissolve into rivers of repentance?
42518	O sinner, why do you not trust Jesus Christ?
42518	O ye who are sore wounded in the place of dragons, I hear you cry, Doth God always send terror and conviction of sin?
42518	Oftentimes, when otherwise you might have hesitated, you will say,"The vows of the Lord are upon me: how can I draw back?"
42518	Once with the unthinking many, he cried,"Who will show us any good?"
42518	Or are you a Christian?
42518	Or can you show me how I can improve?
42518	Or is it that their coming helps to make them comfortable in their sins?
42518	Or saith he it altogether for our sakes?"
42518	Or will you choose a life of pleasure--"a short life and a merry one,"as so many fools have said to their great sorrow?
42518	Others, again, are very heavily pressed; but what of that if they are a superior grain, a seed of larger usefulness, intended for higher purposes?
42518	Ought not the Lord to have a harvest of obedience, a harvest of holiness, a harvest of usefulness, a harvest of praise?
42518	Ought they not to be put in an asylum?
42518	Our fields are parched if vernal showers and gentle dews are withheld, and what are our souls without the gracious visitations of the Spirit?
42518	Out of that all- encompassing horror he crieth,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
42518	Persecuting Saul became loving Paul, and why should not that person be saved of whose case you almost despair?
42518	Pilate cries,"Answerest thou nothing?
42518	Poor, simple, weak- hearted, and troubled one, look to Jesus and answer, Can such a Saviour suffer in vain?
42518	Remember how Paul put it:"Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos?"
42518	Satan or the world will walk in; and do you wonder?
42518	Shall I bring the gospel plough?
42518	Shall I laugh at that which made my Saviour groan?
42518	Shall I stand here and rain tears upon this hard highway?
42518	Shall I toy and dally with that which stabbed him to the heart?
42518	Shall Jesus''lips give the invitation, and will you say him nay?
42518	Shall Omnipotence be defeated?
42518	Shall coin be your principal corn?
42518	Shall he come and find you sleeping?
42518	Shall horses run upon the rock?
42518	Shall insignificant nobodies rob God of his glory?
42518	Shall it always be so?
42518	Shall it always be the lot of God''s ministers to be trifled with?
42518	Shall it be so?
42518	Shall it not be so?
42518	Shall one plough there with oxen?
42518	Shall sin ever be a trifle to me?
42518	Shall the Holy Spirit produce less fruit in you than that which you yielded under the spirit of evil?
42518	Shall the horses always plough upon the rock?
42518	Shall the oxen always labor there?
42518	Shall the preacher continue his fruitless toil?
42518	Should a child select the rod?
42518	Should the grain appoint its own thresher?
42518	Sinner, can you hope to enter heaven?
42518	Sinner, dost thou know that every act of disobedience to God''s law is virtually an act of_ high treason_?
42518	Sinner, wilt thou have him or no?
42518	Sinner, wilt thou not give up thy sins for the sake of him who suffered for sin?
42518	So much as this we may know, and is it not enough for all practical purposes?
42518	Some discourses do little more than show the difference between tweedle-_dum_ and tweedle-_dee_, and what is the use of that?
42518	Some may say, Why does not the believer reap all the field, and take all the corn home with him?
42518	Some of you were whole- hearted enough when in the service of the evil one, will you be half- hearted in the service of God?
42518	Suppose we sow the fields with sawdust, or sprinkle them with rose- water, what of that?
42518	The Lord''s husbandry upon us has shown a great expenditure of cost, and labor, and thought; ought there not to be a proportionate return?
42518	The Lord-- is he always to be resisted and provoked?
42518	The Sabbath is a wearisome day to you; how can you hope to enter into the Sabbath of God?
42518	The cattle pasture upon that which satisfies them; why should not I obtain satisfaction too?
42518	The grain of wheat when it is put into the ground dies; do we mean that it ceases to be?
42518	The legible handwriting of Satan is upon you-- can you not see the blots?
42518	The text, with the connection, runs thus:"Does not the husbandman cast in the principal wheat?"
42518	Then will I ask all day?
42518	There is a principal thing for which we ought to live, what shall it be?"
42518	These people have been preached to, taught, instructed, admonished, expostulated with, and advised; shall this unrecompensed work be always performed?
42518	They have no cares now; the shop is given up, they live in the country; they have not to ask,"Where shall the money come from to meet the next bill?"
42518	They have religion?
42518	This is a mournful state of things, is it not?
42518	This soil is rock; can we not sow it without breaking it?
42518	This work of God having proceeded in the growth of the seed, what next?
42518	Thou canst trim thy body, and spend many a minute at the glass; dost thou not care for thy soul?
42518	Threescore years old and yet unsaved?
42518	Travellers toward the North Pole tremble as they think of this question,"Who can stand before his cold?"
42518	WHAT IS THE JOY OF HARVEST which is here taken as the simile of the joy of the saints before God?
42518	WHAT JOYS ARE THOSE WHICH TO THE BELIEVER ARE AS THE JOY OF HARVEST?
42518	Was it self- sown?
42518	Wast thou satisfied?
42518	Watered with the drops of the Saviour''s bloody sweat, shall we not bring forth a hundredfold to his praise?
42518	We have given them a fair trial; what do reason and prudence say?
42518	We hold up our hands in glad astonishment and cry,"Who are these that fly as a cloud and as doves to their windows?"
42518	We in England sin against extraordinary light and sevenfold knowledge; and is this a light thing?
42518	We must not expect to find the best field next to our own house, we may have to journey to the far end of the parish, but what of that?
42518	We will ask it of men who plough their own farms; do they recommend perseverance when failure is certain?
42518	Were you ever present at the scene when they drive them down to the brook?
42518	What answer can we give?
42518	What are you living for?
42518	What brings these senseless sinners here?
42518	What but crime and infamy?
42518	What but mere smoke?
42518	What but sin and misery?
42518	What but thorns and nettles, or some other useless weeds?
42518	What but unholiness and vice?
42518	What can you and I do in this matter?
42518	What could the Lord do for us more than he has done?
42518	What did our Lord say?
42518	What do I find provided in Scripture?
42518	What dost thou do but seek to be God thyself, thine own master, thine own lord?
42518	What dost thou know about it, poor sufferer?
42518	What good comes of fretting?
42518	What has become of them?
42518	What has he as the result of all his honors?
42518	What has he got by his wealth?
42518	What has the church been doing all these years?
42518	What have I to do but to feed on these truths?
42518	What if God should say,"I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down"?
42518	What if all the other laborers became Hodgeites and Hobbsites, and so parcelled out the farm among them?
42518	What is death?
42518	What is growing in his mind and character?
42518	What is sin?
42518	What is that for?
42518	What is the natural produce of this great city if we leave its streets, and lanes, and alleys without the gospel?
42518	What is the natural produce of your children if you leave them untrained for God?
42518	What is the natural produce of your heart and mine?
42518	What is the object of threshing the grain?
42518	What is the use of preaching to him?
42518	What is the use of zeal abroad if there is neglect at home?
42518	What is there to hinder it?
42518	What is this vital principle, this secret reproducing energy?
42518	What is to hinder your dying with a spade in your hand?
42518	What is your position, dear friend?
42518	What is your principal aim?
42518	What is"nature"?
42518	What more could he have done for his farm?
42518	What must the tender, loving, gracious Jesus have meant by the words,"Gather the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them?"
42518	What saith he?
42518	What saith the Saviour?
42518	What shall I do for you?
42518	What shall we do?
42518	What then is the springing up of piety in the heart?
42518	What then?
42518	What then?
42518	What then?
42518	What then?
42518	What think you, friend?
42518	What was the use of disturbing himself?
42518	What will come out of all else?
42518	What will you say to excuse yourself, for opportunities lost, time wasted, and talents wrapped up in a napkin, when the Lord shall come?
42518	What worse than this can happen?
42518	What"it"?
42518	What, not by that matchless teaching?
42518	What, not with all that holy living?
42518	What, then, shall I say to you who are my Lord''s beloved?
42518	When a father is going to correct his child, does he select something pleasant?
42518	When are you going to do it, friend?
42518	When the law comes forth thundering from its treasuries, who can stand before it?
42518	When the rivers are hard frozen, and the earth is held in iron chains, then the melting of the whole-- how is that done?
42518	When they smote him on the face with the palms of their hands, it would not have been wonderful if he had said,"Wherefore do you smite me so?"
42518	When you and I preach or teach it will be well if we say to ourselves,"What will be the use of what I am going to do?
42518	When you have gone right to the end of the field once, what shall you do next?
42518	Where can we feed and lie down in green pastures in so sweet a sense as we do in our musings on the Word?
42518	Where did she sit?
42518	Where is it?
42518	Where now your boastings and your loud- mouthed blasphemies?
42518	Where now your confidence?
42518	Where now your merriment?
42518	Where now your pride and your pomp?
42518	Wherefore do we doubt him?
42518	Who among US shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
42518	Who among US?
42518	Who among us can look upon his life- work without some sorrow?
42518	Who among us?
42518	Who asked you to tremble for the ark of the Lord?
42518	Who beat the big drum, or blew his own trumpet?
42518	Who have most largely blessed the present age?
42518	Who will have the most joy?
42518	Why are certain men so extremely rocky?
42518	Why do men come to hear if the word never enters their hearts?
42518	Why do you happen to be members of a certain church?
42518	Why is he void of understanding?
42518	Why is it that certain"intellectual"folk can not get any good out of our soundest ministers?
42518	Why is it that proud people seldom profit under the word?
42518	Why must there be such a difference?"
42518	Why need they fall into a ditch because their leader has splashed himself?
42518	Why not ask a blessing on the cup of bitterness as well as upon the cup of thanksgiving?
42518	Why not?
42518	Why should not I obtain what I want?
42518	Why should you want hailstones of terror?
42518	Why stand ye all the day idle?
42518	Why, then, plough the rock any longer?
42518	Why, you can not create a fly, how can you create a new heart and a right spirit?
42518	Will God bless our moral essays, and fine compositions, and pretty passages?
42518	Will he hear those that can not speak, and will he not hear those who can?
42518	Will it be always so?
42518	Will it continue till the spirit fails and the soul expires?
42518	Will it not be wise for you, also, to allow things to begin at the beginning, and to be satisfied with their being small at the first?
42518	Will one in four of our hearers, with well- prepared heart, receive the Word?
42518	Will one plough there with oxen?"
42518	Will the great Husbandman bid his ploughmen spill their lives for nought?
42518	Will you be a money- spinner?
42518	Will you be like that wheat in the mummy''s hand, unfruitful and forgotten, or would you grow?
42518	Will you make less sacrifice for Christ than you did for your sins?
42518	Will you never believe in him of whom you hear so much?
42518	Will you not eat of your own?
42518	Will you recollect this?
42518	Will you refuse Boaz?
42518	Will you serve Christ less than you served your lusts?
42518	Will you think of this?
42518	Wilt thou believe in Christ?
42518	Wilt thou trust thy soul in his hands at once?
42518	Would any of you continue to pursue an object when it has proved to be hopeless?
42518	Would you detain your dear wife here with all her suffering?
42518	Would you have the tares and the wheat heaped up together in the granary in one mass?
42518	Would you hold back your husband from the crown immortal?
42518	Would you keep your old father here, full of pain, and broken down with feebleness?
42518	Would you shut him out of glory?
42518	Yes, he does; then if I am seeking Christ, ought I to be discouraged because I do not immediately find him?
42518	You are afraid the kingdom of Christ will not come, are you?
42518	You know the theory, but do you know the experimental power of this within your own spirit?
42518	You never loved your mother''s God, and is he to endure you in his heavenly courts?
42518	You never trusted your father''s Saviour, and yet are you to behold his glory for ever?
42518	You or God?
42518	_ Let us go from preaching the law to preaching the gospel._"Doth the ploughman plough all day?"
42518	and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"
42518	but if he be happy, who shall excuse him?
42518	but,"says one,"how can it be?
42518	not begetting life in one spirit?
42518	now the seed will grow, will it not?
42518	or has it taken no root?
42518	or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"
42518	that he is not moving in one soul?
42518	was Paul crucified for you?
42518	who_ among us_ shall abide with the devouring flame?
42518	will one plough there with oxen?"
42518	will one plough there with oxen?"
42518	will one plough there with oxen?"
