 If Christ Should Come Again By John T. McFarland If Christ should come again tonight, If we should wake and hear the song Of angels chanting in the light, And we should see the radiant throng- If on the calm of wintry air Should speak again the seraph's voice,  ''Behold, good news to all I bear, Let all the sons of men rejoice - ''The Christ has come again to earth, Not now, as once, through gates of pain, A babe in manger come to earth, But crowned as King, he comes to reign''- Would we arise in haste and go, The light of wonder in our eyes, And kneel and pay him reverence low, K ..read more

        "Ice Dien," I serve, is the motto of the Prince of Wales, the heir to the throne of England. It declares that though he is the heir to such honor, his true greatness is in serving. We, too, are heirs to a kingdom, soldiers of a King, servants of a Master. How can we say that the Lord Jesus is our King and Master unless we serve Him? "Ich Dien" must be the motto of every soldier of Christ, as, indeed, it was that of Christ Himself when He said, "I am among you as He that serves... For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth?"" Luke 22:27 ..read more

        There is a touching story told that at the end of the long French war a rough sailor landed near London bridge, and meeting a man selling larks in a cage, bought the whole lot, and then, opening the door, let the birds fly free. The bystanders remonstrated, but he replied with a laugh, "If you had, like me, spent six years in a French prison, you would learn to feel for caged things!"  "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of si ..read more

        Sister Dora gave up her life to nursing sick people. At the head of her bed a bell was fixed by which sufferers could summon her at any hour of the night. As she arose at the sound of the signal, she used to murmur these words, as if they were a charm: "The Master is come and is calling for thee." It was as if the sick sufferer faded away, and in the couch she saw the Face that was marred with a world's anguish. Christ's Face across her fancy came, and gave the battle to her hands.        "He that oppresseth the poor repr ..read more

Woman of Samaria        Alone, this nameless woman trudged from the village of Sychar to the ancient well dug in a field that had once belonged to Jacob. The high noon sun beat down upon her, and as she glanced toward Mount Gerizim in one direction and Mount Ebal in another, she saw but a few wandering shadows cross the Plain of Shechem. Even the well-watered vineyards looked lifeless to her in the glare of the midsummer Judaean sun.        She had felt famished in body and soul as she had set forth with a water jug on her sh ..read more

       Archbishop Benson's favorite dog, "Watch," always followed his footsteps in the park and about the house. When service went on in the chapel, Watch stretched himself on the mat at the open door. On one occasion the Archbishop read the second lesson, which ended with the words, "What I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch! and the dog immediately started up and walked to his master as if he had been called, and lay at his feet until the end of the service. Surely we, with our greater intelligence, ought to have that quickness to hear and to obey when Christ o ..read more
