Worthy Sayings of Great Christians
Do not we rest in our day too much on the arm of flesh? Cannot the same wonders be done now as of old? Do not the eyes of the Lord still run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those who put their turst in Him? Oh, that God would give me more practical faith in Him! Where is not the Lord God of Elijah? He is waiting for Elijah to call on Him.

Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can't tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible,
And He can do what no other pow'r can do.
God helps us seek popularity where it counts -
at the court of God!

For that my Lord hath done;
But I will work like any slave,
For love of God's dear Son.
