-- I remember a gentleman of Boston, a man high in life, a Congressman,
who was accustomed to carry with him little cards and distribute them
wherever he went, and on some of these cards were words like these: "I
expect to pass through this world but once, and therefore if there be
any kindness I can show, if there is anything I can do to make men
happy, I shall do it, for I may not pass this way again."
-- A man was asked what his persuasion was. He said it was the same as
Paul's. I don't know what Paul's persuasion was. All persuasions claim
him. Sankey says he is a Methodist. Listen: "I am not ashamed, for I
know whom I believe, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which
I have committed to Him." That is Paul's persuasion. You may call it
what you have a mind to, it is a good persuasion.
-- If we are going to be successful, we have got to take our stand for
God, and let the world and everyone know we are on the Lord's side. I
have great respect for the woman that started out during the war with a
poker. She heard the enemy were coming and went to resist them. When
some one asked her what she could do with the poker, she said she would
at least let them know what side she was on. And that is what we want.
