The study of comparative religion is destined to exercise a profound influence on every branch of Christian theology. We are coming to see that many of the cherished doctrines of our own religion are not peculiar to Christianity, but have their parallels in other faiths. This must in time lead us...

The following chapters do not profess to be a full and formal discussion of the themes embraced, but rather a practical exhibition and enforcement of certain great lines of duty. And yet, the whole subject of “The Relation of Children and of Families to the Church”: “The Culture and Training...

The majority of the mss. attribute this book to Matthew, though the titles vary much. The letters prefixed, professing to be written to and by St. Jerome, exist in several of the mss.; but no one who is acquainted with the style of Jerome’s letters will think this one authentic. There are, however,...

“Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.”   Acts 26:28.   And many there are who go thus far: ever since the Christian religion was in the world, there have been many in every age and nation who were almost persuaded to be Christians. But seeing it avails nothing...

A great sign, an august miracle is what many estimate the resuscitation of Lazarus to have been, the crown of Christ’s miracles, and on account of which Christ said: This infirmity is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it. Moreover the Savior...

Andrew Dunn was educated a Roman Catholic, and continued till he was about forty years of age, like his neighbors, taking for granted that everything his clergy told him was true. He was a shrewd, sensible man; but his sagacity, till this time, had been exercised merely on the affairs of this world....

WE meet in the sanctuary to-day under circumstances of peculiar interest. An extraordinary evil threatens to come upon the whole land. The angel of death is seen standing upon our borders with a commission to destroy, and his hand is stretched out as it were over our very heads. We are come together...

The ravages of Louis XIV. in the beautiful valleys of the Rhine, about the close of the seventeenth century, may be taken as a specimen of the appalling desolation which is likely to overspread the Confederate States, if the Northern army should succeed in its schemes of subjugation and of plunder....

The first and chief need of our Christian life is, Fellowship with God. The Divine life within us comes from God, and is entirely dependent upon Him. As I need every moment afresh the air to breathe, as the sun every moment afresh sends down its light, so it is only in direct living communication...

It is certainly cause for deep regret that to so many Christians the Book of Revelation seems to be what God never intended it should be—a sealed book. The book of Daniel was to be sealed till the time of the end (Dan. 12:9), but of Revelation it is written: “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy...

The present series of addresses on the book of Joshua consists of stenographic notes, somewhat abbreviated, covering messages which I gave on consecutive Lord’s days at the Moody Memorial Church in Chicago. At the request of many they are now sent forth in book form, in the hope that they may prove...

TO the general reader, the book of Proverbs, with its common-sense epigrams and sententious aphorisms, might seem to be the last portion of Scripture requiring any attempt at elucidation. But it is just because its chapters abound in pithy truisms that the marrow is often lost sight of by those who...
