“We mourn; we sorrow for our loved ones that go - our wives, our husbands, our children, our parents; we sorrow for them; and it is well and proper that we should moum for them and shed tears for the loss, for it is our loss; but it is their gain, for it is in the march of progress, advancement and development. It will be all right when our time comes, when we have finished our work and accomplished what the Lord required of us.” ShouldWellsChildrenSoulParentLossLordWifeProgressTearsDevelopmentSorrowHusbandGainsOur ChildrenFinishedOur TimeAccomplishedMarchLoved OnesShedAdvancementMourn Author:Francis M.

“It would be easy to show that at our present rate of progress the kingdoms of this world never could become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. Indeed, many in the Church are giving up the idea of it except on the occasion of the advent of Christ, which, as it chimes in with our own idleness, is likely to be a popular doctrine. I myself believe that King Jesus will reign, and the idols be utterly abolished. . . . The Holy Ghost would never suffer the imputation to rest upon His holy name that He was not able to convert the world.” WorldGivingBelieveIdeasShowsWould BeAbleSufferingJesusNamesEasyChristChurchLordProgressThis WorldKingsHolyGiving UpRateGhostKingdomsDoctrineOccasionsIdolsReignIdlenessOur LordHoly GhostAdventChimes Author:Charles Spurgeon
