A Browning poem reflects on heaven transforming from gold streets to a familiar homeland. It envisions a place free from illness poverty and loneliness where beloved faces wait. The poem unfolds from distant wonder to intimate assurance of reunion and rest.
A sermon on the Spirit within believers, contrasting natural men with Christians who “live in the Spirit.” It argues liberty from sin comes through the Spirit, not human effort, and explains the bondage of sin, the freedom of grace, and the Christian struggle to mortify sin through faith in Christ. It cites Romans and Galatians to show that true freedom is spiritual and future glory.
A friend frees a kept eagle, comparing its release to an eagle’s memory of cliffs and storms. On a garden wall the bird stretches wings, soars into the blue sky, and vanishes. The tale ends with an exhortation to an Anxious Christian to try his wings.
Quote attributed to George Macdonald on the paradox of a distant God versus a God present to each person. It argues that some teachings place God far away, yet imply he is closer to everyone than self-awareness.
The piece argues that scripture stands as living grace and rejects higher criticism and sensationalism. It cites Rev Obas A Holla praising the simple gospel, defends Thomas’s doubt as a path to faith, and discusses trials of faith, love’s true measure, and enduring tribulation in Christian life.
The author argues that new insights remain hidden because readers approach scripture without expecting novelty. No chapter or verse has been fully exhausted, suggesting ongoing potential for discovery in the biblical text.
A Congregationalist note contrasts unnoticed daily good with sensationalized evil. It argues churches and communities do lasting, quiet work, while public attention rushes to scandal. The author urges Christians to seek and celebrate good, not dwell on fault, and to view the United States as a bright, global beacon.
A master asks how many months have twenty eight days. A sharp lad replies that all of them have twenty eight days.
A teacher asks a boy what breakfast he eats. He replies oatmeal with prompt certainty, reflecting a simple schoolyard exchange from a past era. The anecdote highlights a weathered charm of classroom humor.
Father Mahony laments the loss of simple piety abroad and contrasts Tyrolean devotion with birds and hats in church. A verse by E. 8. Drener pleads to spare birds on ladies’ hats, urging mercy for creatures singing God’s praise.
The Augustana Journal notes many church members act as drifters who expect help but give little in return. True faith calls believers to voluntary, proportionate service. Beecher’s anecdote illustrates the value of members who will work anywhere. The piece urges increasing such active members.
A vice will not become virtue yet virtue can turn to vice when frugality grows abnormally into parsimony. The comparison notes that virtues like fast expanding vines demand equal care as vices and diseased growth.
A compact counsel on personal conduct encouraging focusing on one’s own affairs and bearing cheerful, discreet manners. It urges attending to one’s business, speaking positively, and greeting friends with a smile to avoid burdening others with troubles.
In a Memphis Scimitar reprint style the piece argues the South stands at a golden era of prosperity. It urges young men to move to the South to share in its upcoming industrial growth and riches, predicting the region will become a major manufacturing hub within twenty five years.
A terse editorial cautions that borrowing is the weakest means to balance the family budget. It argues that debt burdens families and undermines financial stability, urging savings and prudent spending instead.
