33015My dear friends, is n''t it humiliating?
33015My dear friends, is n''t that a high calling?
33015Now will you come to Christ?
33015Now, are you ready to do it?
33015Now, how are we to get the victory over all our enemies?
33015Now, if this text was not true, do n''t you think it would have been found out by this time?
33015One day the two sisters were together, and the other said:"Now what have you got at those meetings that you did n''t have in the first place?"
33015One of these officers said at the table:"I believe that Carey was a shoemaker, was n''t he, before he took up the profession of a missionary?"
33015Or is he immersed in business and pleasure?
33015Shall I tell you what the"yoke"referred to in the text is?
33015She said,"Can you help me?
33015Some of his neighbors say,"Noah, what is your hurry?
33015Some of his relatives might have said,"What are you going to do with the old homestead?"
33015Surely that is broad enough-- is it not?
33015Taking the note from his pocket he gave it to the lady, and said:"Will you read that note aloud?"
33015That discussion has wrecked party after party, one society after another--"Who shall be the greatest?"
33015The cry of the world to day is,"Where can rest be found?"
33015The heavens will be on fire, and then what will property, honor, and position in society be worth?
33015The little fellow looked up and said:"No; is this death that I feel stealing over me?
33015The neighbors cry out,"What does this mean?"
33015The question is, are you overcoming the world, or is the world overcoming you?
33015There is nothing to be proud of-- is there?
33015They will say:"You ca n''t get away from your mother, eh?
33015Well, but we had no part in crucifying Christ; therefore, what is our sin?
33015What Does it Mean to Come?
33015What are our enemies without?
33015What can I do to overcome it?"
33015What do we see to- day?
33015What does James say?
33015What is the matter with my Christianity?"
33015What is the secret of Sunday driving, of the saloons and brothels?
33015What is the use of being five years about what you can do in five minutes?
33015What is the use of his talking about salvation for the next life, if he has no salvation for this?
33015What is your hurry?
33015What then will become of your soul?
33015What was the matter?
33015What would you think of a farmer who went on sowing all the year round, and never thought of reaping?
33015When He came into the house at Capernaum, He turned to His disciples, and said:"What was all that discussion about?"
33015When a man will drive like Jehu all the week and like a snail on Sunday, is n''t there something wrong with him?
33015When he was dying he called his father to his bedside and said:"Was n''t it a good thing that my sisters went to those meetings?
33015When the young man heard it, he said:"Do you mean to tell me that he has been converted?"
33015When you talk with them they say:"Well, when you say''the world,''what do you mean?"
33015Where Can Rest be Found?
33015Where is he to- day?
33015Where is your son, your daughter?
33015Who can soften your hard heart but Himself?"
33015Who can tell the name of any of the millionaires of Daniel''s day?
33015Who in all the world will say that Napoleon lives in their heart''s affections?
33015Who is able to reach and help drinking men like those who have themselves been slaves to the intoxicating cup?
33015Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
33015Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
33015Who were the mighty conquerors of that day?
33015Who would have such a man around him as John Bunyan in his time?
33015Whoever heard of a man going out to fish, and setting his net, and then letting it stop there, and never pulling it in?
33015Why are theaters and places of amusement crowded at night?
33015Why?
33015Why?
33015Will I die to- day?"
33015Will you not go out this very day and seek to rescue these men?
33015Will you not lay hold of the promise, and trust it, and follow Him now?
33015Will you thus live and die, O man immortal?
33015Wo n''t it be sweet, darling?"
33015Wo n''t you meet me in heaven, father?"
33015Wo n''t you take up your cross now?
33015Wonderful, is n''t it?
33015Would n''t you?
33015are you getting mastery over the world and the flesh?
33015do you believe it?
33015do you believe it?"
33015what is the meaning of this?"
33015where is your boy, mother?
14578''Like''has nothing to do with it; is it right?
14578''Who do you mean?'' 14578 *"Why not?"
14578Ah, friend,I said,"it is bad to be left out from the Lord''s table here; what will it be to be left out of heaven?"
14578And have not you also?
14578And pray, what is that?
14578And the missus inside( pointing to the dining- room),"be she converted?"
14578Are you coming to church to- night?
14578Are you quite sure?
14578Are you sure of that?
14578Are you wood, or leather, or stone? 14578 Be they converted too?"
14578But do you never think about your soul, John?
14578But suppose you think so?
14578But what does the Scripture say?
14578But what,I said,"if you have been neglecting and slighting God''s love for a long time, and He is now moving you with fear to return to Him?"
14578But,I asked,"suppose you have not repented and believed, what then?"
14578But,I said,"do you not see that faith does not consist in believing what you write, but in what God has written?
14578But,I said,"have you been home yet?"
14578But,I said,"what will they think when they see me?"
14578Can it be true? 14578 Could you do that?"
14578Did you never come as a sinner, and obtain the forgiveness of your sins?
14578Do you believe that He has done that?'' 14578 Do you believe, then,"said my visitor,"in the fire of hell?
14578Do you doubt me?
14578Do you hear him?
14578Do you know me?
14578Do you mean Gehenna, the place of torment?
14578Do you mean to say then,she replied, with surprise,"that you have no sins?"
14578Do you mean to say,he continued,"that the Church is not the very ark of salvation?"
14578Do you mind telling me about it?
14578Do you really believe all this?
14578Do you thank Him for it?
14578Do you?
14578Go on with your text,said the vicar, quietly,"''Confounded be all they that serve graven images;''is that what you mean?"
14578Have you any salt? 14578 Have you this living water?"
14578Hear him? 14578 Here you are,"he said,"at it again, and they are getting worse and worse in the barn-- what ever is to be done?
14578How can I consciously appoint or license you to anything in my diocese?
14578How can you feel anything till you have it? 14578 How can you tell?"
14578How did you get it?
14578How is that?
14578I again said,''Who do you mean?'' 14578 I know what converting or saving''grace is; but what is this?"
14578I mean, does he preach about the forgiveness of sins? 14578 Is he converted?"
14578Is it a figure of speech that the rich man fared sumptuously, that he died, that he was buried? 14578 Is not conversion God''s work?"
14578Lost what?
14578May I ask what I am to understand by these words?
14578Mind?
14578Now, look at me, for I am a man of business: when will you come? 14578 Now,"I said,"you have renounced wine and all; have you?"
14578Oh, is that what you call revival work? 14578 Oh,"he replied,"will you preach tonight?"
14578Oh,he said,"are you there, neighbour?
14578Oh,said Billy,"you are come, are you?
14578Shall I ask the Lord to come down from heaven again and die on the cross for you?
14578Shall I do so?
14578Shall we ask Him?
14578Six shillings bid,said the auctioneer--"six shillings-- thank you; seven shillings; any more for that good old cupboard?
14578That may be; but do you not think you ought to thank Him for what He did for you?
14578There, did you not hear that?
14578There, there,she said,"What does any one want clearer and cleaner than that?"
14578Too late for what?
14578Well then, will you give your heart to God also?
14578Well, my friend,I said,"who are you?"
14578Well, then, why do you suppose that I mean something uncharitable or bad?
14578Well,I said,"and what did you do then?"
14578What could I do with souls?
14578What d''yer want with me?
14578What did he say?
14578What do you mean?
14578What do you mean?
14578What is all this confusion about?
14578What is that?
14578What is that?
14578What is that?
14578What is this?
14578What services?
14578What shall I pray for?
14578What would you do if there was no wall? 14578 What''s that to you?"
14578What''s the matter? 14578 What''s the matter?"
14578What, not working today, John?
14578What, then, is God, if I am''dear''only for telling you of His love? 14578 Where did they get it?"
14578Where did they get it?
14578Where is he?
14578Which Canon is it against?
14578Why do you ask me?
14578Why do you not preach in dependence upon God and go without a book like that good man? 14578 Why not?"
14578Why, Sam,said his master,"do n''t you like it?"
14578Why,I asked,"what is it all about?
14578William,I said,"did you ever see me before I came to this parish?"
14578Would one of us, or both, take pity on him, and give him our company?
14578You do believe that He has died for you- for you?
14578You may know more about this some day, perhaps; but in the meantime will you allow me to ask you one thing: Do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ?
14578''Oh, what shall I do?
14578''What is thy petition?''
14578.... What young man?"
14578.... Will you not take a glass of wine?"
14578.... Will you take some bread?
14578After sighing and groaning several times, he said to himself,"What shall I do?--what shall I do?
14578Afterwards introducing himself, he asked me very politely,"What is the secret of all this?"
14578Again he disappeared for the whole day, until the evening, when he came into the vestry, and said,"Will you let me read prayers this evening?"
14578Among others, the churchwarden came to me in a very excited state, and said,"What ever made you say,''Now or never!--now or never!''?"
14578And how was I to reach them?
14578And while Billy was pondering how to"rise"six shillings, the same man came up and said,"What do you want that cupboard for, Billy?"
14578Are you converted?
14578Are you hiding away from me?"
14578Are you ill?"
14578Are you quite sure that, with all your faith in Baptismal Regeneration, you are born again of the Spirit?
14578Are you satisfied that you are now saved because you are in the Church?"
14578As I walked about in this garb, I asked a friend,"How do you like it?"
14578As soon as we entered her room, she said,"How do you do?
14578As to"heart conversion,"what is conversion at all if the heart is not touched?
14578But do you believe that Jesus died for you?"
14578But it must be done with a firm and whole heart; not"Lord, shall I give the half of my goods to feed the poor?"
14578But the question may be asked,"Is it possible for unsaved people( spiritually dead) to be so good and religious?
14578But when did I say that you were unconverted?
14578But, my brother, are you satisfied?"
14578But, what if He does?
14578But, what if He does?--what if He does?
14578Can not you see that?"
14578Can you tell me that you are?"
14578Can you trust Him?"
14578Converted, are ye?"
14578Could n''t yer get in?
14578Do n''t you remember three coast- guard men at Captain O--''s garden?"
14578Do n''t you see me there every Sunday?"
14578Do people become alike who look much at one another?
14578Do you believe that Christ died for you?"
14578Do you believe that the Lord Jesus died for you?"
14578Do you hear, man?
14578Do you know how to get forgiveness of sins?"
14578Do you know why the good Lord has spared you for so long?"
14578Do you mean to preach in future in dependence upon God?"
14578Do you really wish you had never been born?"
14578Do you remember once preaching about Abraham offering up his son Isaac?
14578Do you think it is a material fire?"
14578Have you got anything on your mind?"
14578Have you had no real transaction with''God about them?"
14578Have you heard that your vessel has gone down with all hands?"
14578Have you not a green- and- red carpet- bag?
14578He asked a stranger who was there, walking about, what he thought that old cupboard would go for?
14578He became very restless, and at last interrupting, said, respectfully,"If you please, sir, is there much more of that?"
14578He contented himself by asking me quietly,"And how long does your peace last?"
14578He continued,"Will you come to my house and preach this evening?
14578He did so, and looking grave, sounded my lungs, put his ear to my chest and then asked,"What is the matter with your left lung?"
14578He looked at me in a strange way, and then, leaning his back against a stone fence, he said,"Are you converted?"
14578He said to his visitor,"What do you want here?"
14578He then challenged me on another point, and said,"Have you peace with God?"
14578Hear what?
14578Hence the Lord''s exclamation,"Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?"
14578Her mother and sister came in, saying,"Is it not dreadful?"
14578Her sayings and doings would fill a book; but who would believe the things?
14578Here I challenged the statement, and said,"Have you any references there-- any''stars''or''daggers''to that?"
14578How can I believe that Jesus died for me, and not thank Him?"
14578How can you ask for forgiveness, and have it at the same time?"
14578How could I be so blind and ignorant?
14578How could I be so foolish, to give up a living, where there was vitality, though it was rough, for a superficial and artificial semblance of religion?
14578How could they have forgiveness if they did not come to me?
14578How did you come to break your pledge?"
14578How did you manage to get here?
14578How is it you are here?
14578How old are you?"
14578Human reasoning would say,"What, then, is the use of ministry and sacraments?
14578I agreed to this with thanks, as the first sign of sympathy I had found in him, and said,"Shall I go and take your services in exchange?"
14578I am sometimes asked,"Is there not such a thing as a feeling which is too deep for expression?"
14578I apologized for disturbing her, and was going away, when she said,"Will you not come in for a few minutes?"
14578I asked this man afterwards what it was that had had such an effect upon him?
14578I asked,"What is the matter?"
14578I asked;"never think about another world and eternity?"
14578I began to wonder at intervals,"What part of the diocese I was to be sent to?--Where is there a vacancy?"
14578I bowed to her, and said,"Can I help you?"
14578I came back among them, and, pointing to the door, said,"Is that where he stops?"
14578I confessed my shortcomings, and the defectiveness of my teaching, and pleaded earnestly,"Lord, what wouldst Thou have me to do?
14578I could not dare to say they would be lost forever; but where could they be now?
14578I could not help inquiring,"Where did the Druids get this sign?"
14578I disguised my voice, and asked,"What man?"
14578I had a dream once--- do you ever have dreams?
14578I had never seen an instrument of this kind before, and asked if he really believed in it?
14578I inquired, laying the emphasis on you--"for you, as if you were the only person for whom He died?"
14578I knocked at the door, and said,"Does Mrs. W-- live here?"
14578I made way for him, and he came stepping into the room; then making a profound bow to the said"missus,"he asked,"Be there any maidens( servants)?"
14578I mean, do you believe that He died; and that you have a personal interest in His death?"
14578I replied,"Do I know it now?"
14578I said,"Billy, do you know that I think the Lord wants to have mercy on you?
14578I said,"Do not be angry with me, but what do you believe about Him?"
14578I said,"Do you think your mother would let you return with us on a short visit?
14578I said,"Frank, is that you?
14578I said,"Why do you object to my going to see the poor fellow?
14578I said,''what can you mean?''
14578I took it from the gospel of the day--"What think ye of Christ?"
14578I was very happy, and said,''Whose garden is this?''
14578I wonder why God spares your life?
14578In a few minutes after I received a short note, the purport of which was,"How can I be saved?"
14578Is it not a fire which shall burn the soul-- a fire that never will be quenched-- where the worm will never die?"
14578Is it not your own conscience that tells you that?
14578Is it possible or reasonable to suppose that our Lord intended by these words to constitute all that assembly absolving priests?
14578Is it possible, I thought, to have such close communion with God, apart from the Church and her ministrations?
14578Is it so?"
14578Is not such a state an indication of spiritual vitality?"
14578Is not that literal?
14578Is that what you want me to say?"
14578Is that why husbands and wives so often resemble each other?
14578Is the way to hell as pleasant as this?
14578It may be asked, why did I permit such things?
14578Looking at the graves of some of my faithful Churchmen, I wondered,"Is it really true that they are now cursing me for having misled them?"
14578Mr. A. went on to ask me,"How did you get peace?"
14578My friend, after a little pause, said,"Have you not heard of the revival?"
14578No one could be more ignorant than the jailor at Philippi, but as soon as he was awakened he cried out,"What must I do to be saved?"
14578No sooner had I gone, than John''s heart failed him, and he burst out crying aloud, and said to his wife,"Oh, Mary, what shall I do?
14578Now then, what can I do for you?"
14578Oh, what shall I do?
14578Oh, what will become of us?"
14578Once I was tempted to take a book up into the pulpit, feeling I had nothing to say, when something said to me,"Is that the way you depend upon God?"
14578One Sunday, when I had been preaching on the text,"Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?"
14578One day, during these services, she paid a visit to the Parsonage, and said,"My dear, have you a lemon in the house?"
14578Or how can He give you any feelings till you thank Him for what He has already done for you?
14578Poor dear man, like many others he was dreadfully frightened at the thought of"what will they think?"
14578Presently you stopped, and, turning to me, said,''Why do n''t you come on?''
14578Seeing a workman in a field close by, I called to him, and asked''Where does this road lead to?''
14578Seeing that I was perturbed at his suggestion, he went on teasing me all breakfast time, and at last said,"Well, what is your decision?
14578Shall I ask him?"
14578Shall I denounce them as delusions, or superstitious legality?
14578Shall I do this?
14578She asked me,"Can you tell me the meaning of this?"
14578She could not understand it, and said,"It is not so in churches, is it?"
14578She hesitated, and then looking at me said,"Do you mean objectively, or subjectively?"
14578So you are a Puseyite turned Evangelical, eh?
14578Some may say,"But what did she obtain?"
14578Some one asked,"what is he like?"
14578Standing in the passage, and looking into the room where I was seated, he said,"Sir, are you a clergyman?"
14578Still, the thought continually haunted me--- What can this"conversion"be?
14578That next morning it came to my mind that I must go round to the people and ask them what they were thinking about?
14578The Word says that God is more willing to take than you are to give: you believe you have given; but do you believe that God has taken?
14578The next morning the same farmer appeared again, and said,"What do you want two pounds for?"
14578The next morning, a yeoman called to me as I was passing her cottage, and said,"Master, what d''yer think?
14578The question arrested me,"What if He says that to you?
14578The questions that troubled me were-- what was I to do with three thousand people?
14578Then I turned to the other, who was also crying, and said,"Do you believe?"
14578Then looking at the crucifix on her table, I said,"What does that remind you of?"
14578There was no hedge or tree within sight for him to hide behind; where could he be?
14578They said,"This teaching seems all true and scriptural; but what will become of us if you go away, and another man comes who thinks otherwise?
14578They said,"You will come again to- morrow?"
14578They tried hard to laugh him out of it, and asked him which of the chapels he would join?
14578Third,"When, then, was he reconciled?"
14578This was a startling and an alarming word to many of my earnest people, who said,"What then will become of us?"
14578This was more easily said than done; for where could I take the children, or how could I leave them at home?
14578This was terrifying news for the vicar, who turned, and looking at me with astonishment, said, reproachfully,"How did you do it?"
14578Was it from looking at sand always that they became that colour?
14578We did so; and when my friend left me at the vicarage door, he said abruptly,"Will you let me write to you?"
14578We held each other''s hands in silence, till at last I said,"How are you?
14578Were you?
14578What am I to do?"
14578What are you doing there?
14578What are your hearts made of, that God''s love can not touch or His Word break them?"
14578What could he mean by having his eyes opened to see himself a wretched, lost man?
14578What d''yer want with me?"
14578What did he mean?
14578What did she mean?
14578What do you think?"
14578What does he say?"
14578What is the matter?"
14578What shall I do?"
14578What shall I do?"
14578What shall I say to these things?
14578What shall I sing?"
14578What was that wonderful thing which God did for him and for the souls of his people?
14578What was"seeing the way of salvation"?
14578What will become of us?"
14578When I assured her that her husband was only just beginning to live, she said,"Must we be Dissenters now?
14578When I finished, I said,"Shall I print it?"
14578When he had sat some time and had had some luncheon, my wife said,"I wonder whether this is the young man we heard about this morning?
14578When she could speak, she said,"What will happen to him now?
14578When will you come?"
14578When will you come?"
14578Who needs to depend upon God for this more than you do?"
14578Why did Simon Peter fail at first?
14578Why do men secede; and break their own hearts, and the hearts of those who love them?
14578Why is this?"
14578Why not''now''?"
14578Why should I?
14578Why, then, be so zealous about this?
14578Will he die?
14578Will you come in and take a cup of tea and rest a little?"
14578Will you come over to luncheon with me?"
14578Will you come?"
14578Will you do the same for me?"
14578Would you like to speak to them?"
14578You could not have greater proof of it, could you?
14578You have not told me anything''about Christ; have you nothing to say about the blood of Jesus, and about your sins?
14578___________________________"I am Billy Bray,"he replied, looking steadily at me with his twinkling eyes;"and be you the parson?"
14578____________________________* See Tract,"Are You Satisfied?"
14578and are people so unconcerned about it?''
14578and did not William meet you on the road?"
14578and inquiring of the people"Do you see it?
14578and what was I to do with them?
14578and what would become of them hereafter?
14578and why did he subsequently succeed?
14578and, more than this, does he expect people to have forgiveness?"
14578are you come back?"
14578asked our visitor, hastily;"What young man do you mean?
14578do you hear it?"
14578he said,"Where am I to come?"
14578said the poor distracted man to his wife--"do you hear him?"
14578said the vicar, starting,"you mean your sister Mary?
14578what shall I do?
14578who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
14578why not''now''?"
41720Ai n''t no telephone in Heaven?
41720Bill, did the warden come up here? 41720 But are you not employed by some religious sect?"
41720But, madam, where are you going?
41720But,she said, turning to a reporter,"what can I do in one conversation?
41720Experiences?
41720Girls, shall I pray for you when far away? 41720 Has there been any change since I was here last year?"
41720Have you a mother?
41720How far have you traveled?
41720Is there anything too hard for the Lord?
41720Lady, is you a preacher? 41720 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
41720May I write and tell her you are sick? 41720 O sinner turn, why will ye die?
41720O ye of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
41720Oh, is that so?
41720On what ground do you want a pass?
41720Prisoner at the bar, have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you?
41720Sing us one more,the captain begged, The soldier bent his head, Then glancing round, with smiling lips,"You''ll join with me?"
41720Then why do you keep him here?
41720Then,he said,"I will have to send you to jail, or what will you do?"
41720Think you that the Great Judge will hold me-- the poor, weak, helpless victim-- alone responsible for the murder of my wife? 41720 Thou hast written well of me,"said the Vision to the great teacher of Aquinum,"what reward dost thou desire?"
41720Twenty- thirty- four?
41720Under whose guidance do you work?
41720Up there? 41720 What can I do-- what can I do?
41720What do you want?
41720What shall I do with them?
41720What was the matter with you the first time?
41720What''s the use? 41720 When?"
41720Where,he inquired,"Who did such a thing?"
41720Who Will Man the Life Boat?
41720Who is your captain now?
41720Why does He let me stay here and die if He loves me?
41720Why, Harriet,he exclaimed,"what is the matter?"
41720Why, Tommy, my boy, what is it?
41720Will you meet me in Heaven?
41720''Twas the same wayward girl from the bowery, Who a life of adventure had led; Did the parson then laugh at her downfall?
41720A few years since, on arriving in Omaha after returning from the East, I telephoned the jailer at the county jail:"Can I have a meeting?"
41720A lady passenger spoke to me saying,"How could you sleep during that wreck?"
41720Again she asked,"Have you ever been a Christian?"
41720Again you asked,"Have you ever been one?"
41720All eyes were fixed upon me, and I asked,"Is there one Christian here?
41720All its dangers braving, precious souls to save?
41720An answering whisper came,"Friendless, with Jesus for your friend?
41720And has He not told us,"Greater works than these shall ye do because I go unto my Father?"
41720And now shall I turn back?
41720And shall I fear to own His Cause?"
41720And that there is hope in Christ for them if they will repent and confess their sin to Him?
41720And then he said,"Do you remember the man and woman you saw yesterday in the guard- room talking?"
41720And this case is only one of many; and where shall we draw the line?
41720Are we seeking to reach the people?
41720Are we willing that such a class of men not only hold such an enormous power, but add to it indefinitely?
41720Are you going to remain here over another Sunday, and if so, will you be out again or do you go to the Military Prison?
41720Arriving at the jail the kind jailor was shocked to see me in the officer''s charge, and said,"You are not a prisoner?"
41720As I looked at him he said, with a smile,"Did you think it was one of the boys whom the superintendent had sent for you?"
41720At the close of the meeting the evangelist said,"Sister, how did it happen that I met you just as I did this morning?"
41720Both principle and policy declare this course is wise; Then why longer act the fool and wisdom''s voice despise?
41720Brother, is n''t there in your breast at times an awful aching void?
41720But I hear some one who never gave these things a thought say: How is this to be done?
41720But I know if I should take my own life that it would be a terrible sin; but how can I help thinking such things in a place like this?
41720But how could I go?
41720But what did this hero say when asked,"Why did you insist on this other man''s ascending?"
41720But, how should I get back to the camp?
41720Can I be lonely, mother, dear, When thy pure spirit is so near?
41720Can I live and know that you died upon the gallows?"
41720Can innocence, then, guilty be?
41720Can these men be transformed by the power of the Gospel?
41720Can we not let poor fallen human beings see that we do care for them?
41720Can we poor mortals ever forget our sorrow?
41720Can you believe that I stayed to that after- meeting when every nerve in my body thrilled to get up and run out of the chapel?
41720Can you find none for those now suffering for the same?
41720Could I leave that great crowd of lost women to go on in their awful career without at least one manifesting a desire for a better life?
41720Could it be possible?
41720Could not many a man be saved by being put on probation from the start, who otherwise would be in great danger of being lost?
41720Could perfect innocence endure without a shudder all that is detestable in human ingratitude and human rage?
41720Could you say about when it will be ready?
41720Dear Mother, will you pray for me?
41720Dear reader, are you prepared to do that?
41720Dear reader, do you ever think of the hardships and dangers through which these railroad men must pass?
41720Did He not come"to seek and to save that which was lost?"
41720Did I say"alone?"
41720Did not the angels weep o''er the scene?
41720Did you ask me where?
41720Did you pray for money?"
41720Do I not know their faults?
41720Do pray for me, wo n''t you, that the Lord may lead me into all His will?
41720Do punishments deter men from crime?
41720Do the universal customs of the times foster and beget much of the crime committed?
41720Do they not confess to me their guilt?
41720Do you ask what is the secret of her success?
41720Do you know that every drunkard uses tobacco?
41720Do you need some tracts or papers?
41720Do you not feel the chill?
41720Do you realize how much a busy man needs the prayers of God''s people?
41720Do you think that it was the fear of death, and that that was sufficient to shake to its utmost center the pure and innocent soul of the Son of Man?
41720Does it not rise to the surface at times and overwhelm us, so that nothing but the soothing presence of Jesus can comfort us?
41720Does the discipline of prisons have anything to do with the commission of offenses by convicts when released?
41720Does war beget murder elsewhere?
41720Even as he had clambered up the stairs a guard had cried,"shall I shoot?"
41720Finally I said,"Can you take us to the depot?"
41720Friendless?
41720Glancing over them she exclaimed,"Is it possible?
41720H.?"
41720Have we tried by example and precept to show the criminals that we were really their friends and sincerely cared for their souls?
41720Have we won them to a better life and to good citizenship?
41720Have ye been in the wild waste places, Where the lost and wandering stray?
41720Have ye looked for my sheep in the desert, For those who have missed their way?
41720Have ye trodden the lonely highway, The foul and the darksome street?
41720Have ye wept with the broken- hearted In their agony of woe?
41720Have you any Christian papers and tracts that you would please send to me?
41720Have you heard from her yet?
41720Have you heard that our dear Chaplain''s helpmeet has recently taken this journey?
41720He came forward and extended his hand cordially, saying,"Do n''t you know me, Mother?"
41720He replied:"Sister Wheaton, have you prayed about it?"
41720He said,"Will you give bail for your good behavior?"
41720Helpless?
41720His wife would not consent to entertain me, and I answered,"Where shall I go?
41720How act upon them?
41720How are you to command the respect of those under you?
41720How are you to proceed?
41720How can I live my sentence out in this way?
41720How can any man have the heart not to believe the Bible and rest his case upon the bosom of the good Lord who died for us?
41720How could I eat, when all these prisoners need the gospel so much?"
41720How could I meet them at the Judgment?
41720How could it be done?
41720How could they?
41720How gain mastery over them?
41720How is it that friends are so often denied the privilege of seeing those that are under death sentence or those who are sick and dying?
41720How long, O Lord, how long must such things be in a Christian land?
41720How many girls and boys are sacrificed yearly to fill the saloonkeepers''coffers and fill up hell?
41720How many inmates of our prisons have the gospel presented to them?
41720How many of you are living in lasciviousness, the sin that''s hidden but that God sees?
41720How many of you will pray for_ us_ as we cross the ocean again to go to our own land?
41720How move their hearts?
41720How much more so under other circumstances?
41720How shall we keep pace in penal improvements with the great material progress of the outside world?
41720How then can I write?
41720Hurriedly I said to her,"Do you want to go to Europe?"
41720I am sure she wants to know about you?"
41720I asked all who wanted to be saved to raise their hands; then said,"Will you not give your hearts to God now?"
41720I asked my guide,"Is there not one Christian here in these mountains?"
41720I asked,"How much is this?"
41720I asked,"Is there one Christian here among you prisoners?"
41720I clasped her hand, hardened by work, and said,"Will you pray for me, sister?"
41720I had only talked a few minutes when the proprietor came in and asked,"Are you a customer here?"
41720I had only time to say,"Will you sing?"
41720I knew the Lord had sent me, and how could I meet Him at the Judgment and tell Him I had failed?
41720I longed to be dead, but one night the thought came:"Suppose you were dead, what then?
41720I looked at the man and he said:"Do n''t you know me, mother?"
41720I said of one of the girls to the matron,"This girl looks like a good Christian-- who is she?"
41720I said that I did not and he then asked,"What is your work?"
41720I said to them,"What have you in that box?"
41720I said,"For the sake of young men which you now employ to control and guard these women, wo n''t you do this?"
41720I said,"Is n''t this Defiance?"
41720I said,"O, boys, CAN''T I RIDE THAT MULE?"
41720I said,"Please let me get my shawl, and will you please let me ask one of the ladies at the mission to go with me?"
41720I said,"What can you eat?"
41720I said,"What will it all amount to-- I a friendless prisoner, doomed for life?"
41720I said,"Where?"
41720I said,"Where?"
41720I said,"Will you not send an officer to show us the way to our lodging, as you have arrested us without a cause and it is late at night?"
41720I said,"You are an officer, are you not?"
41720I say to you, is this not enough to satisfy the most bitter feelings of any avowed enemy?
41720I stood trembling and thought,"Must I stand all alone here with no one to pray for me, or encourage me in my labor for the Master?"
41720I was in Philadelphia walking along the street praying--"O Lord, where next-- what wilt Thou have me to do?"
41720I was sure God had sent us, and said:"Will you permit us to see the men in their cells?"
41720I wept and prayed most of the night and cried,"Oh God, can you let me fail now?"
41720Idle?
41720If any one will pray for us, wo n''t you raise your hand?"
41720If prisons are supposed to be erected for the purpose of reformation, why not make them in reality what they are intended to be?
41720If so, raise your hands?"
41720If ten years is not sufficient punishment to make man control himself in future, why not be merciful and kill him at once?
41720In my very darkest moments Would you know what comforts me?
41720In terror I cried:"O, what shall I do?
41720In the language of Socrates,"Why should we who are never angry at an ill- conditioned body, always be angry with an ill- conditioned soul?"
41720In the tender voice of the Holy Spirit came these words:"Can you give up all and follow me?
41720Is He not at the Father''s right hand, interceding for us and for the souls to whom He sends us?
41720Is anything too hard for the Lord?
41720Is humanity wholly dead?
41720Is it because I have sinned so much?
41720Is it not enough that he has lost home, friends, wife, children and happiness at one false move?
41720Is not that precious news?
41720Is social vengeance a failure, and are other means necessary to prevent crime?
41720It is very simple, my dear sister, is it not?
41720It must be expected that some will fall again; but why should the many suffer for the few?
41720It was late and as we came down the mountain side I saw a light at a little distance, and I said,"Where is that light?"
41720It''s curious, is n''t it, chaplain, what a twelve months may bring?
41720Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I come to thee; When shall my sorrows have an end?
41720Joyful?
41720Just then a well- dressed old gentleman spoke to me and said,"Do you belong to the Salvation Army?"
41720Just where to draw the line, and how to enforce discipline?
41720Kindly, tenderly I talked to them, thinking to myself, what if it were my boy, now safe in Heaven?
41720Lowry._] Lonely?
41720Many like him are saying:"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
41720Men and women who will place in the hand of the prisoner the Bible, in exchange for the revolver, dagger and bottle?
41720Mother Prindle, who was with me said,"Do you know Mother Wheaton?"
41720Mother, why do I get scared?
41720Must death overtake me here?
41720My Dear Friend: Do you think we have forgotten you?
41720My brethren, My friends, My disciples, Can ye dare to follow me?
41720My dear and only child, will God and man have mercy on him?
41720Need I say that my cry was not in vain?
41720No wonder we often hear the cry go up from some poor wounded or crushed heart saying: O, God, is there no mercy left in man?
41720O brother, sister, have we had charity that suffereth long and is kind?
41720O faithless one, is there anything too hard for the Lord?
41720O if I would die now what would become of me?
41720O my God, will you not help me to provide a home for such as these?
41720O thou of little faith, wherefore did''st thou doubt?
41720Oh, God, how long shall the cry of the prisoner be heard?
41720One of them replied,"Yes, why not now?"
41720Only trust Him, He will save you-- Ca n''t you hear His sweet voice call?
41720Our Saviour''s last act of mercy and forgiving love was shown toward a prisoner and shall we imitate His example, or shall we not?
41720Please, wo n''t you let me go?"
41720Reader, did it pay?
41720Reader, is there not a sympathetic chord in your heart for these poor unfortunates?
41720Reader, think you this man was any more a criminal at heart than thousands who move among men honored and respected?
41720Relatives asked me,"Who told you?"
41720Revenge?
41720Saddened?
41720Say, George, when you go back, will you tell the warden Riley''s coming up to call on him?"
41720Set up your scaffold- altars in our land, And, consecrators of Law''s darkest crime, Urge to its loathsome work the hangman''s hand?
41720Shall it be yours to touch that vibrant chord And share the honor of the great reward?
41720She said,"How do you know?"
41720She said,"Will you meet me in Heaven?"
41720Should not the pardoning power be exercised frequently before the convicted man ever reaches the prison at all?
41720Sister Wheaton, wo n''t you come with me to church?"
41720Sister, am I right or wrong?
41720Sisters, brothers, are you and I clear?
41720So I said,"Can I come and see you again?"
41720Some one asked the question,"What is the best thing that can be said of a friend?"
41720Staggering back he exclaimed,"My----, where did you get those things?"
41720The girl herself replied,"Do n''t you know me, mother?"
41720The governor looked doubtful, mused a few minutes and said,"You will go back on the river and be a mate again, I suppose?"
41720The man with whom I had been speaking looked on surprised and said,"Who was that man?"
41720The music comes winding through the corridors of the prison and in all dark wards the whisper is heard:"What''s that?
41720The officer said,"Are you making all of this ado and trouble?"
41720The question is often asked me,"How did you become interested in this work, and learn to understand the needs of the prisoner?"
41720The rails may be all right, the bridge may be safe; but who knows?"
41720The sister whispered and asked,"Did you hear that sound?"
41720The spirit of a man will sustain his_ infirmity_, but a wounded or broken spirit who can bear?"
41720The text comes to me so forcibly,''What, could ye not watch with me one hour?''
41720The unusual sound brought the keeper, who asked,"What is the matter with you?"
41720Then I said,"Girls, wo n''t you pray?"
41720Then sweetly rose the singer''s voice Amid unwonted calm,"Am I a soldier of the Cross, A follower of the Lamb?
41720Then with all these sacred memories Welling in these hearts of ours, Who in all this land of sunshine Could forbid this gift of flowers?
41720There are children, bright and gay, Now at school and now at play; Why do playmates push them off, Only at their tears to scoff?
41720Think you I''m lonely, mother, dear, When Jesus thus is ever near?
41720Think you that such things as these do not cry to God for vengeance?
41720This lady turned her face to the News emissaries and inquired in a sweet silvery tone:"Going to church, brothers?"
41720Thy joys, when shall I see?
41720Tired?
41720Up there?"
41720Upon the pedestal of the statue were these words,"What shall the harvest be?"
41720WILL IT PAY?
41720Waiting?
41720Was he guilty?
41720We may overpower them, but do we conquer them?
41720We''ve a Home for Prodigal Daughters, Our Saviour says gather them in; Will you help rescue these dear ones-- Who have fallen in paths of sin?
41720What advantage will you give to the men who are striving to obey rules, and do what is right?
41720What always leads a man to destruction and crime?
41720What are we trying to do to lend a hand of relief?
41720What can I do when my time expires?
41720What could the harvest be?
41720What do we see?
41720What have I to hope for?
41720What if your wife were that poor boy''s mother?
41720What if''t were your son instead of another?
41720What is the meaning, my beloved sister, of this scene for us?
41720What kind of a state of affairs is this?
41720What led me to do it?
41720What object have I?
41720What use in saying the Lord''s prayer-- Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us?
41720What was the cause of the sad plight of this family?
41720What was the cause of this midnight hour?
41720What will we find them?
41720What would have become of me had God deferred this discipline?
41720What''s that?"
41720What, no?
41720What_ could_ we do?
41720When I entered the office the kind official said,"What can I do for you, Mother?"
41720When I had related the facts he said,"Who dare refuse you holding meetings in that prison camp?
41720When I reached the place I sat down behind the door and cried and thought, what shall I do?
41720When I said"No,"he answered:"Do n''t you know your boy?"
41720When are you coming this way again?
41720When before the white throne of His Judgment you stand,"What have you to answer?"
41720When once in doors I saw a piano, and said,"Which one of you ladies will play a piece on the piano?
41720When the book is opened and we hear the words:"I was sick and in prison, and ye visited me not,"what are we going to answer?
41720Where is Tommy?"
41720Where is she?
41720Where next?
41720Where now his footsteps turn?
41720Where should he go?
41720Who among you will give ear to this?
41720Who can tell?
41720Who cares for me?
41720Who is responsible for the sin and crime and suffering?
41720Who is responsible?
41720Who is to blame for this?
41720Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
41720Who told that conductor to telegraph to headquarters to get a permit to stop the train for me?
41720Who tries to save mothers''girls as well as mothers''boys, husbands and wives?
41720Who votes to put down the saloons?
41720Who will answer in the day of Judgment for that man''s life and death?
41720Who will be willing to answer at the bar of God for that soul?
41720Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?"
41720Who will help to rescue dying souls to- day?
41720Who will man the life- boat, who the storm will brave?
41720Who will man the life- boat, who will breast the wave?
41720Who will man the life- boat, who will launch away?
41720Who''ll help me?
41720Why are they shunned, each one and all?
41720Why did you not fulfill your promise to me about transferring those women from the stockades to the prison here at the capital?
41720Why do I sometimes stray from his love?
41720Why do they want it?
41720Why is this failure?
41720Why not stop that which sends our young men by the thousands to a drunkard''s or a criminal''s grave?
41720Why not, then, look after them?
41720Why should it not be so?
41720Why should not that gracious dew fall even now and always for all of us upon the fields of life?
41720Why will people indulge in strong drink, when God has said no drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven?
41720Will we not arise and shine for God as we have never done before?
41720Will you kindly look at it before I leave?"
41720Will you not try and live so you will meet me in heaven?
41720Will you please be seated?"
41720Will you please send us the hymns called"Tell of the Unclouded Day"and the one called"When the Pearly Gates Unfold"?
41720Will you trust me with these till I return?"
41720Will you wish to have his blood on your hands When before the great throne you each shall stand?
41720Will you, as Christians, let him die believing the word Christianity a mockery?
41720Will your mother''s prayers be answered?
41720Wo n''t somebody help my poor mother?"
41720Wo n''t they be thrown down in hell?
41720Would I come?
41720Would I not have gone on in sin until too late, even had I been sent here for a short term of years?
41720Would you be at rest?"
41720Yes, and his soul?
41720You look tired and hungry"--and was n''t I?
41720You remember the Chinaman who was cook for the Warden?
41720You remember, do n''t you?
41720You shook hands with me and asked,"Are you a Christian?"
41720[ TUNE,"ARE YOU WITHIN THE FOLD TONIGHT?"]
41720_ Wo n''t you sing for me?_"So I sang for him, and he requested me not to talk to him then.
41720has anything happened?"
41720know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you?"
41720little they know what reform is, for where on earth does one need the Spirit that reforms more than in prison?
41720what?
