39129	was his quick demand;"Art thou some gem from Samarcand, Or spikenard in this rude disguise, Or other costly merchandise?"
8534	Do n''t you see,he said to her,"that by giving up your own way, you will be virtually putting a cross on the grave?
8534	What is my next duty? 8534 What shall I do to gain eternal life?"
8534	Who is thy neighbor?
8534	''Tis enough that Thou wilt care; Why should I the burden bear?
8534	''Tis true, He hath chastened thee with rods and sore afflictions; but did He ever take away His loving- kindness from thee?
8534	1, is our"bodies"?
8534	A myriad homes,--a myriad ways,-- And God''s eye over every place?
8534	Am I acting in simplicity, from a germ of the Divine life within, or am I shaping my path to obtain some immediate result of expediency?
8534	Among so many, can He care?
8534	And am I what I am pretending?
8534	And doth not the love, the rest, the peace, the joy felt, swallow up all the bitterness and sorrow of the outward condition?
8534	And how shall we know this?
8534	And sound my word and thought the same?
8534	And what will thy heavenly Father do but what that father did in the parable?
8534	And when any special thing is repugnant to you, ask"Wouldst Thou have me do it?
8534	Any cup at our home- table whose sweetness we have not fully tasted, although it might yet make of our daily bread a continual feast?
8534	Appear I always what I am?
8534	Are they not almost the staple of our daily happiness?
8534	Art thou not the"Living Garment"of God?
8534	As to what may befall us outwardly, in this confused state of things, shall we not trust our tender Father, and rest satisfied in His will?
8534	Ask"What should I like myself, if I were hard- worked, or sick, or lonely?"
8534	August 23_ Seekest thou great things for thyself?
8534	Be quiet, soul: Why shouldst thou care and sadness borrow, Why sit in nameless fear and sorrow, The livelong day?
8534	Be quiet, why this anxious heed About thy tangled ways?
8534	Because you are forced to be outwardly inactive, do you think you, also, may not be, in your years of quiet,"about your Father''s business"?
8534	Because you are not sent out yet into your labor, do you think God has ceased to remember you?
8534	Believ''st thou in eternal things?
8534	Bore I not helm of pride and glittering sword?
8534	But how will you find good?
8534	But let that love flow out upon all around you, and what could harm you?
8534	But shall we be less ready for these, if any of them are His appointments for to- day?
8534	But what says the Psalmist?
8534	But you will go forth, and what will you find, my daughter?
8534	Can special love be everywhere?
8534	Can we be unsafe where He has placed us?
8534	Can we walk with God in the shop, in the office, in the household, and on the street?
8534	Can you not cease to regard whether you do or not, whether you be bewildered, whether you be happy?
8534	December 19_ And now, Lord, what wait I for?
8534	December 21_ Hast thou not known?
8534	Did ever a man try heroism, magnanimity, truth, sincerity, and find that there was no advantage in them,--that it was a vain endeavor?
8534	Did you ever hear of a man who had striven all his life faithfully and singly toward an object and in no measure obtained it?
8534	Difficult enough, you think?
8534	Do thy steps drag heavily?
8534	Do we not already know that the name of the Infinite is GOOD, is GOD?
8534	Do you not see that a person who truly loves is one with the Infinite Being-- cannot be uncomfortable or unhappy?
8534	Does any one complain, that the best affections are transient visitors with him, and the heavenly spirit a stranger to his heart?
8534	Dost thou ask when comes His hour?
8534	For who is he that shall hinder thee from being good and simple?
8534	Have you ever thought seriously of the meaning of that blessing given to the peacemakers?
8534	His children,--how can he make the day sweeter to them?
8534	His wife,--what needs has she for help, for sympathy, that he can meet?
8534	How are you to attain self- control, if you shun all occasions of practising it?
8534	How can charity towards all men fail to follow, being the mere affectionateness of innocence and peace?
8534	How can we come to perceive this direct leading of God?
8534	How couldst thou hang upon the cross, To whom a weary hour is loss?
8534	How do you know what you may lose by neglecting this duty, which you think so trifling, or the blessing which its faithful performance may bring?
8534	How does our will become sanctified?
8534	How shall thou bear the cross that now So dread a weight appears?
8534	How shall we rest in God?
8534	I looked thereon with the eye of my understanding, and thought,"What may this be?"
8534	I would have you, one by one, ask yourselves, Wherein do I take up the cross daily?
8534	If He appoints me to wait in- doors to- day, am I to be annoyed because I am not to work out- of- doors?
8534	If He appoints me to work there, shall I lament that I am not to work here?
8534	If a man constantly aspires, is he not elevated?
8534	If thou canst not make thyself such an one as thou wouldest, how canst thou expect to have another in all things to thy liking?
8534	If we can not work out the will of God where God has placed us, then why has He placed us there?
8534	If we forget them not, shall they not remember us with God?
8534	If we have a cold heart towards a servant or a friend, why should we wonder if we have no fervor towards God?
8534	In"pastures green"?
8534	Is it Thy will that I should be in a public or a private condition, dwell here, or be banished, be poor or rich?
8534	Is it not His own precious treasure, and a small thing with Him to forgive thee thy trespasses, if thou believe in Him?
8534	Is it possible for any of us in these modern days to so live that we may walk with God?
8534	Is it want of strength?
8534	Is not such self- choosing a greater fault than those into which you fear to fall?
8534	Is there nothing you know you ought not to do?
8534	Is there nothing you neglect?
8534	Is this, indeed, the tone and tenor of your prayers?
8534	Is thy burden hard and heavy?
8534	Is thy cruse of comfort wasting?
8534	July 4_ Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded?
8534	July 7_ The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
8534	June 10_ Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light?
8534	June 23_ Why art than cast down, O my soul?
8534	June 8_ Who hath despised the day of small things_?
8534	Know I what way my course is bending?
8534	Let us lift up our hearts and ask,"Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?"
8534	May 5_ If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?
8534	Never delay To do the duty which the hour brings, Whether it be in great or smaller things; For who doth know What he shall do the coming day?
8534	November 30_ Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
8534	November 9_ Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above?
8534	Now, Lord, what wait I for?
8534	O God, what offering shall I give To Thee, the Lord of earth and skies?
8534	O Heavens, is it, in very deed, He then that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me?
8534	O child, hast thou fallen?
8534	October 17_ Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
8534	Oh, ask not thou, How shall I bear The burden of to- morrow?
8534	Oh, how shall I, most gracious Lord, This mark of true perfection find?
8534	Oh, my friend, look not_ out_ at what stands in the way; what if it look dreadfully as a lion, is not the Lord stronger than the mountains of prey?
8534	Oh, my soul, why art thou vexed?
8534	Or how the thorns and scourging brook, Who shrinkest from a scornful look?
8534	September 15_ Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?
8534	September 30_ Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle?
8534	Shall anything hurt us?
8534	Shall not the heart which has received so much, trust the Power by which it lives?
8534	Shall they forget us because they are"made perfect"?
8534	Shall they love us the less because they now have power to love us more?
8534	So here hath been dawning another blue day; Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away?
8534	So, whether on the hill- tops high and fair I dwell, or in the sunless valleys, where The shadows lie, what matter?
8534	Still heavy is thy heart?
8534	Still sink thy spirits down?
8534	Supposing that you were never to be set free from such trials, what would you do?
8534	Take Thy hand, and fears grow still; Behold Thy face, and doubts remove; Who would not yield his wavering will To perfect Truth and boundless Love?
8534	That Thy great love should shelter me, And guide my steps so tenderly Through every changing day?
8534	Thou knowest what is best; And who but Thee, O God, hath power to know?
8534	To whom?
8534	Unhappy am I, because this has happened to me?
8534	Was I not girded for the battle- field?
8534	What can come amiss to a soul which is so in accord with God?
8534	What can cross your will, when it is one with His will, on which all creation hangs, round which all things revolve?
8534	What can harm thee, when all must first touch God, within whom thou hast enclosed thyself?
8534	What can make so much as one jarring tone in all its harmony?
8534	What channel needs our faith, except the eyes?
8534	What duties have I left undone?
8534	What had she done?
8534	What have I done that''s worth the doing?
8534	What have I learnt where''er I''ve been, From all I''ve heard, from all I''ve seen?
8534	What have I sought that I should shun?
8534	What heart can comprehend Thy name, Or, searching, find Thee out?
8534	What if the wicked nature, which is as a sea casting out mire and dirt, rage against thee?
8534	What is Nature?
8534	What is fulness of joy but_ peace_?
8534	What is it that makes us unable to persevere?
8534	What is the thing that lies nearest to me?"
8534	What know I more that''s worth the knowing?
8534	What matter how miserable one is, if one can do that?
8534	What shall be our reward for loving our neighbor as ourselves in this life?
8534	What was the secret of such a one''s power?
8534	When did we ever set ourselves sincerely to any work according to the will of God, and fail for want of strength?
8534	When the shore is gained, who will heed the toil and the storm?
8534	When thou hast thanked thy God For every blessing sent, What time will then remain For murmurs or lament?
8534	Where then is_ our_ God?
8534	Which of us feels or knows that he wants peace?
8534	Who art thou that complainest of thy life of toil?
8534	Who hath created these things-- that bringeth out their host by number?
8534	Why go about to grieve and to despair?
8534	Why is it that we are so busy with the future?
8534	Why make a real calamity of it by resistance?
8534	Why seek it afar forever, When it can not be lifted away?
8534	Why should I start at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul?
8534	Why should I vex myself because another hath vexed me?
8534	Why should we desire to meet difficulties prematurely, when we have neither strength nor light as yet provided for them?
8534	Why shouldst them fill to- day with sorrow About to- morrow, My heart?
8534	Why weep now through thy Future''s eyes, and bear In vain to- day to- morrow''s load of care?"
8534	Will not the same love which prompts you to give a good, prompt you to keep back an evil, thing?
8534	Will then this which has happened prevent thee from being just, magnanimous, temperate, prudent, secure against inconsiderate opinions and falsehood?
8534	Would you know the blessing of all blessings?
8534	Wouldst Thou have me serve Thee in the lowest ministries of Thy house?
8534	You are surprised at your imperfections-- why?
8534	_ There be many that say, Who will show us any good?
8534	_ Whither shall I go from Thy spirit?
8534	_ Who can understand his errors?
8534	_ Who_ is it that is your shepherd?
8534	_ Why are ye so fearful?
8534	_ Why dost thou judge thy brother?
8534	and why art thou disquieted in me?
8534	and why art thou disquieted within me?
8534	hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
8534	how many of_ you_ are content with_ such_ faithfulness as this on the part of your heavenly Father?
8534	if a little pain overcomes us, how could we endure a cross?
8534	in what sorrow lose yourself in His"more exceeding"joy?
8534	my way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?"
8534	or did His faithfulness ever fail in the sorest, blackest, thickest, darkest night that ever befell thee?
8534	or did any abide in His fear, and was forsaken?
8534	what am I, that all Thy mercies sweet like sunlight fall So constant o''er my way?
8534	whether we have slavish fears, or are possessed of that perfect love which casteth out all fear that hath torment?
8534	who shall dwell in Thy holy hill?
8534	why by passing clouds oppressed, Should vexing thoughts distract thy breast?
23241	Do ye not remember the miracle of the loaves?
23241	Do ye not remember the miracle of the loaves?
23241	Gethsemane can I forget?
23241	Has He been seen of thee also?
23241	He has promised, and shall He not do it?
23241	He may not need us; but does He want us?
23241	How many loaves have ye?
23241	I will make thee,saith the Lord,"and shall He not do it?"
23241	If God be for us, who can be against us?
23241	Know ye not that ye are the body?
23241	Know ye not that your bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit?
23241	Lord, how oft shall I forgive? 23241 Lovest thou Me?"
23241	O death, where is thy sting? 23241 Said I not unto thee that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?"
23241	Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of Me?
23241	The Lord is on my side, whom shall I fear?
23241	The Lord is on my side, whom shall I fear?

23241	Who is made to stumble, and I burn not?
23241	Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
23241	_ And He made a scourge of cords._And is this"the Lamb of God"?
23241	_ And the life was the light of men._And what did He not light up?

23241	Am I an evil leaven, like the Pharisees, or a holy leaven like the Lord?
23241	Am I moving toward the time when nothing shall be particularly hallowed because all will be sanctified?
23241	Am I rich in these things or pathetically poor?
23241	Am I the nutriment of vice or the sustenance of virtue?
23241	Am I thus concerned only with a small section of Jerusalem, or does my intercession sweep the entire city?
23241	And did He shut Himself up with the Father?
23241	And do I remember her perils, especially those parts of her walls where the defences are very thin, and can be easily broken through?
23241	And do I sufficiently remember my own providences,"_ all the way my God has led me_"?
23241	And do I sufficiently remember that I, too, am making history for my fellows who shall succeed me?
23241	And doth my Lord call me one of His brethren?
23241	And how about places?
23241	And how can I attain unto this spiritual delight?
23241	And how do we recover our lost estate?
23241	And how does the Lord comfort us?
23241	And how is it with me?
23241	And how must he take heed?
23241	And how shall we expect the sentence to finish?
23241	And how will He guide us?
23241	And in what shall their blessedness consist?
23241	And is it not well, for thee and me, that our Lord is thus fiercely hostile to our sins?
23241	And is the_ entire_ Jerusalem the subject of my supplication?
23241	And what does it sing about?
23241	And what if that Companion be God?

23241	And where is he to get it?
23241	And who is to be the surgeon?
23241	And yet what is the quality of our faith?
23241	And"if God is for us, who can be against us?"
23241	And( shall I reverently say it?)
23241	And, therefore, everyone may apply a clinical test to his own life:"What is the character of my speech?

23241	Are my foes able to maim my spirit as well as my body?
23241	Are my intercessions private enclosures, intended only for the select among my friends?
23241	Are the six days of the week becoming increasingly like the seventh, until people can see no difference between my Monday manners and my Sunday mood?
23241	Are they spoken in faith?
23241	Art thou afraid to"lift high His royal banner"?
23241	Before all the doubts and hesitancies of man enable me to answer,"Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?"
23241	But can I share his witness,"_ I know that my Redeemer liveth_"?
23241	But how are we to love the Lord?
23241	But how can we become"children of light,"holy homes of protective and saving radiance?
23241	But is it not a strange thing that men can be"at ease in Zion"?
23241	But is this God''s way of dealing with His people?
23241	But what is a man to do who has got a perverted palate, and who calls sweet things bitter and bitter things sweet?
23241	But where shall we get the love wherewith to make our enemy lovely?
23241	But why"_ follow_"me?
23241	Can He afford to lose a soul?
23241	Can He communicate with the world through me?
23241	Can I be trusted?
23241	Can I confidently give thanks before I receive the gifts of God, before the dish- covers are removed?
23241	Can I trust Him?
23241	Can I, too, calmly and confidently claim the experience?
23241	Can we think of a more beautiful figure than this--"_children of light_"?
23241	Could He not have rent the heavens and sent His ministers of calamity and disasters?
23241	Could He not have sent fire from heaven?
23241	Could any two things be in greater contrast than a worm and an instrument with teeth?
23241	Could anything be more tenderly gracious than this figure of hiding under the shadow of God''s wings?
23241	Could there be a sweeter chime than the opening music of this psalm?
23241	DECEMBER The Fifteenth_ WHAT IS MY TENDENCY?_"_ Whether we live, we live unto_...."--ROMANS xiv.
23241	Did He use it that He might reveal its ugliness, and so banish it from human speech?
23241	Did I need them?
23241	Did I want them?...
23241	Did they want to make Him a King?
23241	Did you need it?...
23241	Did you want it?"
23241	Do I carry her on my heart?
23241	Do I do it before I begin to live the day?
23241	Do I ever open the door to anyone outside my family circle?
23241	Do I exercise a sensitive and sanctified imagination, and enter somewhat into the pangs of their cravings?
23241	Do I praise God for her heritage, and for her endowment of spiritual glory?
23241	Do I reverently listen to the"great voice behind me"?
23241	Do I share the compassion of the Lord?
23241	Do I sufficiently remember the witness of history?
23241	Do I"learn wisdom"from experience?
23241	Do my sympathies remain confined within my cedar walls, or do they go out to God''s neglected ones in every land and clime?
23241	Do they comprehend my brother''s good as well as my own?
23241	Do they go forth in great expectancy?
23241	Do they just contain our own families, or is China in them, and India, and"the uttermost parts of the earth"?
23241	Do they win their end by making me a smaller man?
23241	Does it range over mighty spaces seeking benedictions for a multitude?
23241	Does my discipleship multiply His powers of expression?
23241	Does my discipleship offer my Lord a limb?
23241	Does that seem a weak ending to a powerful beginning?
23241	For how else can we cast out evil?
23241	For is there any murderer so destructive as carnality?
23241	For what is the kingdom?
23241	For what song can there be where there is languor and fainting?
23241	Grim and full of warning, like the pillar of salt, or winsome and full of heartiness, like some"sweet Ebenezer"built by life''s way?
23241	H. P. FAUNCE, D.D._ What Does Christianity Mean?
23241	Has He more eyes, more ears, more hands because I am a member of His Church?
23241	Has he any place at all?
23241	Has that great word been spoken concerning me in the Father''s home of light?
23241	Have I a calm assurance that my ruler is not caprice, and that my comings and goings are not determined by unfeeling chance?
23241	Have I never preferred him, and sent my Lord to be"crucified afresh,"and"put Him to an open shame"?
23241	Have I not sometimes heard the phrase--"He''s just a lump of pride"?
23241	Have we been so busy with our preparations, so concerned with many things, and everybody, that we have forgotten our greatest possible Ally?
23241	Here is a sentence which describes the anger of the Apostle Paul:"Who is made to stumble and I burn not?"
23241	How big are they?
23241	How can the Lord sit down at such a table, or make One at such a fireside?
23241	How can they when the apportionment is so perverse, when everything is topsy- turvy?
23241	How can we deal with glaring sin, with sin that is"scarlet,"that is"red like crimson"?
23241	How can we gain this disposition of love?
23241	How could it be otherwise?
23241	How do I regard them?
23241	How do they lose it?
23241	How do we complete the sentence?
23241	How does it fit me for ordinary affairs?
23241	How does my life trend when it touches my brother?
23241	How has it all come about?
23241	How is he influenced by my example?
23241	How is it with our love?
23241	How is it with our prayers?
23241	How much bird- music is heard in the chambers of my heart?
23241	How much does anybody count?
23241	How much grace can our unbelief withstand?
23241	How much is it ready to spend?
23241	How much pure laughter rings in my life?
23241	How much will it bleed?
23241	How shall we touch this lovely psalm and not bruise it?
23241	How we impoverish ourselves by separating these precious gifts from their Giver?
23241	How will He do it?
23241	How will He let me know which path to take?
23241	How, then, shall we live to- day in prospect of the eternal morrow?
23241	How?
23241	I am a Congregationalist; do I remember the Anglican?
23241	I am an Anglican; do I remember the Quaker?
23241	I dwell in England, but what about the folk on the Congo?
23241	I dwell in a land of ample religious freedom, but what about Armenia?
23241	I lay the coping- stone, but who turned the first sod?
23241	I lead the water into new ministries, but who first dug the well?
23241	I said to the good man who lived in it,"Can you see the castle?"
23241	I wonder if I have the manner of a king''s son?
23241	I wonder if there is anything in my very"walk"which indicates distinguished lineage and royal blood?
23241	I wonder if this word"dogs"was my Saviour''s word, or had He picked it up from the disciples that He might cast it away again for ever?
23241	I yearn for"the flesh- pots,""He sends me manna,""Was there ever kindest shepherd half so gentle, half so sweet?"
23241	If one golden promise had turned out to be counterfeit, how then?
23241	If the sun be on my side, why should I be dismayed at any icy obstacle that may rear itself in my way?
23241	If two men are at the wheel with opposing notions of direction and destiny, how will it fare with the boat?
23241	In the morning do I thank my God for what I am about to receive?
23241	In what direction are we living?
23241	In what way does he move because of the impact of my example?
23241	Is God on the field, taking sides with us?
23241	Is He therefore looking for thee and me?
23241	Is He therefore looking for thee or me?
23241	Is He therefore seeking thee or me?
23241	Is it a thing of the tent or of the sky?
23241	Is it all to me as though it had never been, or is it part of the store of counsel by which I shape and guide my life?
23241	Is it hallowed with thy Lord''s approval and seal?
23241	Is it incited by our own wrongs or by the wrongs of another?
23241	Is it set on fire by self- indulgence or by a noble sympathy?
23241	Is mine?
23241	Is not this"consuming fire"the friend of my soul?
23241	Is the note of praise to be found in the streets of my soul?
23241	Is there any reasonable ground for assuming that they can accomplish anything?
23241	Is there not therefore something half- ironical in our Saviour''s use of the word?
23241	Is this my way?
23241	Is thy place empty?

23241	May I not make a place for Him in all my affairs-- my choices, my pleasures, my times of business, my season of rest?
23241	May we reverently wonder if it was a season of temptation?
23241	My soul, art thou secretly ashamed of thy Lord?
23241	O grave, where is thy victory?"
23241	On what quiet farm is the coming deliverer now labouring?
23241	Or am I altogether depending upon another man''s sight, and are my own eyes unillumined?
23241	Or am I in the pay of the evil one?
23241	Or am I like a vagrant who has no possessions and no heartening expectations?
23241	Or am I magnanimous even on the cross?
23241	Or are my prayers weighted with sincere desire?
23241	Or do I only think of a corner of it, just that part where my own little synagogue is placed?
23241	Or do they become relaxed and demoralized?
23241	Or does it dwell in selfish seclusion, imprisoned in merely selfish quest?
23241	Or----?
23241	Possibly"Vision of Sin"was meant?
23241	SEPTEMBER The Tenth_ CRITICISM AND PIETY_"_ Thinkest thou, that judgest them that do such things, that thou shalt escape?_"--ROMANS ii.
23241	Shall I find it a castle of gloom, or is there another gate through which I shall emerge into the fair, sweet paradise of God?
23241	Shall I travel north or south?
23241	Shall we know Him?
23241	Shall we say that in that palm there was something akin to the pierced hands of the Lord?
23241	Supposing one word had failed, how then?
23241	That they can play the beast in the holy place?
23241	Then why do so many spiritual cripples leave the synagogue cripples still?
23241	There is rottenness in its foundations, and there is built into it"wood, and hay, and stubble,"How can it stand?
23241	These hands of mine, the symbols of conduct, the expression of the outer life, what are they like?
