"
-- When we get full of this grace we want to see everyone blessed--we
want to see all the churches blessed, not only all the churches here,
but in the whole country. That was the trouble with Christ's
disciples. He had hard work to make them understand that His gospel
was for everyone, that it was a stream to flow out to all nations of
the earth. They wanted to confine it to the Jews, and He had to
convince them that it was for every living being.
HEAVEN.
Moody in a California Sunday School.
I remember when I went to California just to try and get a few souls
saved on the Pacific coast, I went into a school there and asked, "Have
you got some one who can write a plain hand?" "Yes." Well, we got up the
blackboard, and the lesson upon it proved to be the very text we have
to-night. "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." And I said,
"Suppose we write upon that board some of the earthly treasures? And we
will begin with 'gold.'" The teacher readily put down gold, and they
all comprehended it, for all had run to that country in the hope of
finding it. "Well, we will put down 'houses' next, and then 'land.' Next
we will put down 'fast horses.'" They all understood what fast horses
were--they knew a good deal more about fast horses than they knew about
the kingdom of God.
