eward, and pressing
on their way by God's help.

In ii Corinthians 9:8, we read: "God is able to make all grace
abound towards you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all
things, may abound to every good work." There are three thoughts
here--God makes _all grace_ to abound, that we may have _all
sufficiency_ in _all things_. I think this is one of the most
wonderful verses in the Bible.

There is plenty of grace. Many Christians, if they have grace enough
to keep them from outward sin, seem to be perfectly satisfied; they
do not press on to get _fullness of grace_, so as to be ready for
God's work. Many are satisfied to go into the stream of grace ankle
deep, when God wants them to swim in it.

If we always came to meetings desiring to get strength, then we
should be able to go out to work and speak for Christ. There are a
great many who would be used of God, if they would only come boldly
to His throne of grace, and "find grace to help in time of need." Is
it not a time of need now? God has said, "I will pour water on him
that is thirsty." Do we thirst for a deeper work of grace in our
hearts?--for the anointing of the Spirit? Here is the promise: "I
will pour water on him that is thirsty." Let all who are hungering
and thirsting for blessing come and receive it.

Another reason why many Christians do not get anything is--because
they do not give out to others. They are satisfied with present
attainments, instead of growing in grace. We are not the fountain;
we are only a channel for the grace of God to flow through. There is
not one of us but God wants to use in building up His kingdom. That
little boy, that grey-haired man, these young men and maidens; all
are needed: and there is a work for all. We want to believe that God
has grace enough to qualify us to go out and work for Him.

If we have known Jesus Christ for twenty years or more, and if we
have not been able to introduce an anxious soul to Him, there has
been something wrong somewhere. If we were full of grace, we should
be ready for any call that comes to us. Paul said, when he had that
famous interview with Christ on the way to Damascus, "Lord, what
wilt Thou have me to do?" Isaiah said, "Here am I, send me." Oh that
God would fill all His people with grace, so that we may see more
wonderful things than He has ever permitted us to see! No man can
tell what he can do, until he moves forward. If we do that in the
name of God, instead of there be
