ing." "They say unto the blind man
again, What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes? He said,
He is a prophet." Now you see he has got to talking of the Master, and
that is a grand good thing.
The Young Convert.
A young convert got up in one of our meetings and tried to preach; he
could not preach very well either, but he did the best he could--but
some one stood up and said, "Young man, you cannot preach; you ought to
be ashamed of yourself." Said the young man, "So I am, but I am not
ashamed of my Lord." That is right. Do not be ashamed of Christ--of the
man that bought us with His own blood.
GOLD.
-- If Christ comes into our hearts we are not ashamed.
-- I wish we had a few more women like the woman of Samaria, willing to
confess what the Lord Jesus Christ had done for their souls.
-- Believing and confessing go together; and you cannot be saved without
you take them both. "With the mouth confession is made unto
salvation." If you ever see the kingdom of heaven you have to take
this way.
-- Satan puts straws across our path and magnifies it and makes us
believe it is a mountain, but all the devil's mountains are mountains
of smoke; when you come up to them they are not there.
-- I do not know anything that would wake up Chicago better than for
every man and woman here who loves Him to begin to talk about Him to
their friends, and just to tell them what He has done for you. You
have got a circle of friends. Go and tell them of Him.
-- I can't help thinking of the old woman who started out when the war
commenced with a poker in her hand. When asked what she was going to
do with it she said: "I can't do much with it, but I can show what
side I'm on." My friends, even if you can't do much, show to which
side you belong.
-- I may say with truth that there is only about one in ten who
professes Christianity who will turn round and glorify God with a
loud voice. Nine out of ten are still born Christians. You never hear
of them. If you press them hard with the question whether they are
Christians they might say, "Well, I hope so." We never see it in
their actions; we never see it in their lives. They might belong to
the church you go to, but you never see them at the prayer-meetings
or taking any interest in the church affairs. They don't profess it
among their fellows or in their business, and the result is that
