If your path had been smooth, you would have depended upon your own surefootedness; but God roughened the path, so you have to take hold of His hand.

If the statistics of any of our cities could be taken on this subject you would find that a vast multitude of women not only support themselves, but masculines also.

A woman standing outside the marriage relation is several hundred thousand times better off than a woman badly married.

Bring the little ones to Christ. Lord Jesus, we bring them to-day, the children of our Sunday-schools, of our churches, of the streets. Here they are; they wait Thy benediction. The prayer of Jacob for his sons shall be my prayer while I live, and when I die: " The angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads."
