7 Consolation For Mourners
Christ says, "Blessed are they that mourn." Not they shall be blessed, but, they are blessed; and this blessedness cannot be reversed: for Balaam tried all he could to alter God's mind, and so does the devil, the world, and the flesh, to this day. But all Zion's foes shall be confounded, while, with hellish grief, they each one day must own, "he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it." There are, however, mourners who have nothing to do with the blessedness Christ speaks of; therefore Christ, speaking by his servant Isaiah, long before his incarnation, says, that he was anointed to comfort those that "mourn in Zion." "Man is born unto trouble," so that all Adam's children mourn more or less; "but the sorrow…

4 The Christian Armed With Christ
Among other characters which God's believing people bear, that of a soldier is certainly one of the most prominent. And the apostle, speaking of himself and fellow believers, says, "Though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought unto the obedience of Christ," 2 Cor. 10:3, 5.

And as to men who know not what truth is,. because not under the guidance of the Spirit of Promise, it is neither my desire, nor is it in my power, to adduce any argument that…

The Sin Of Cruelty Towards Animals
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”—Genesis 1:26 The holy word of inspiration has expressly declared, that “God made man upright:” but that man is low fallen from his first estate, we have not only the testimony of Scriptures, but of daily experience. Man was originally created after God in his own image, in righteousness and true holiness: his mind was endued with knowledge; his will was conformed to the will of God; the affections of his soul were holy and heavenly.…
