I’d rather SEE a sermon.

I’d rather see a sermon than to hear one, any day.
I’d rather one would walk with me than merely tell the way,
All travelers can witness, the best of guides today
Is not the one who tells them, but the one who leads the way.
Fine counsel is confusing, but examples bring no fear.
Right living speaks a language that to everyone is clear.
The best of all the preachers are the ones who live their creed,
More what they are than what they say will cause men to take heed.
Though an able speaker charm me with his eloquence, I say
I’d rather see a sermon than to hear one, any day.

Praying with body, soul and mind.

Prayer has to do with the entire man. Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul and body. It takes the whole man to pray, and prayer affects the entire man in its gracious results. As the whole nature of man enters into prayer, so also all that belongs to man is the beneficiary of prayer. All of man receives benefits in prayer. The whole man must be given to God in praying. The largest results in praying come to him who gives himself, all of himself, all that belongs to himself, to God. This is the secret of full consecration, and this is a condition of successful praying, and the sort of praying which brings the largest fruits.

The men of olden times who wrought well in prayer, who brought the largest things to pass, who moved God to do great things, were those who were entirely given over to God in their praying. God wants, and must have, all that there is in man in answering his prayers. He must have whole-hearted men through whom to work out His purposes and plans concerning men. God must have men in their entirety. No double-minded man need apply. No vacillating man can be used. No man with a divided allegiance to God, and the world and self, can do the praying that is needed.

Bounds, Edward M. (1835-1913)

The Holy Spirit & Other Spirits

Excellent  236 page book!  Into section from the author –

Part l is given exclusively to a treatise on the Holy Spirit, and is concluded by a poem, “The Gift Unspeakable,” written expressly for this work by my friend and co-laborer, Robert Rothman.

Part II contains an exposition of evil spirits and their diabolical works. Thousands of such evil spirits and false ways could be mentioned, but we have treated only a few of the most prevalent and dangerous spirits of the present day.

HISTORY OF SPIRITUALISM.—To point out the most remarkable events in the history of spiritualism would require many volumes, so we shall content ourselves with a very brief outline of its diabolical career.

Possibly the first record we ave of spiritualistic manifestations was of the Egyptian sorcerers; but the Egyptians were not alone in such manifestations, for almost, if not absolutely, all ancient nations were more or less cursed with spiritualism, divination, sorcery, etc. —The first and surest proof that anything is false or true is the Word of God, to which we shall appeal.
