"He shall take of Mine, and shall show it unto you."

"He shall take of Mine, and shall show it unto you."—John 16:15.

THERE are times when all the promises and a doctrines of the Bible are of no avail, unless a gracious hand shall apply them to us. 

We are thirsty, but too faint to crawl to the water-brook. 

When a soldier is wounded in battle it is of little use for him to know that there are those at the hospital who can bind up his wounds, and medicines there to ease all the pains which he now suffers: what he needs is to be carried thither, and to have the remedies applied. 

It is thus with our souls, and to meet this need there is one, even the Spirit of truth,

 who takes of the things of Jesus, and applies them to us. 

Think not that Christ hath placed His joys on heavenly shelves that we may climb up to them for ourselves, but He draws near, and sheds His peace abroad in our hearts.

 O Christian, if thou art to-night labouring under deep distresses, thy Father does not give thee promises and then leave thee to draw them up from the Word like buckets from a well, 

but the promises He has written in the Word He will write anew on your heart.

 He will manifest His love to you, and by His blessed Spirit, dispel your cares and troubles. 

Be it known unto thee, O mourner, that it is God's prerogative to wipe every tear from the eye of His people. 

The good Samaritan did not say, 

"Here is the wine, and here is the oil for you";

 he actually poured in the oil and the wine.

 So Jesus not only gives you the sweet wine of the promise, but holds the golden chalice to your lips, and pours the life-blood into your mouth. 

The poor, sick, way-worn pilgrim is not merely strengthened to walk, but he is borne on eagles' wings. 

Glorious gospel! 

which provides everything for the helpless, which draws nigh to us when we cannot reach after it—brings us grace before we seek for grace!

 Here is as much glory in the giving as in the gift.

 Happy people who have the Holy Ghost to bring Jesus to them.

"The love of Christ constraineth us."

"The love of Christ constraineth us."

—2 Corinthians 5:14.

HOW much owest thou unto my Lord? 

Has He ever done anything for thee?

 Has He forgiven thy sins?

 Has He covered thee with a robe of righteousness? 

Has He set thy feet upon a rock? 

Has He established thy goings? 

Has He prepared heaven for thee? 

Has He prepared thee for heaven? 

Has He written thy name in His book of life?

 Has He given thee countless blessings? 

Has He laid up for thee a store of mercies, which eye hath not seen nor ear heard? 

Then do something for Jesus worthy of His love. 

Give not a mere wordy offering to a dying Redeemer. 

How will you feel when your Master comes, if you have to confess that you did nothing for Him, but kept your love shut up, like a stagnant pool, neither flowing forth to His poor or to His work. Out on such love as that! 

What do men think of a love which never shows itself in action? 

Why, they say, "Open rebuke is better than secret love." 

Who will accept a love so weak that it does not actuate you to a single deed of self-denial, of generosity, of heroism, or zeal! 

Think how He has loved you, and given Himself for you! 

Do you know the power of that love? 

Then let it be like a rushing mighty wind to your soul to sweep out the clouds of your worldliness, and clear away the mists of sin. 

"For Christ's sake" be this the tongue of fire that shall sit upon you:

 "for Christ's sake"

 be this the divine rapture, the heavenly afflatus to bear you aloft from earth, the divine spirit that shall make you bold as lions and swift as eagles in your Lord's service.

 Love should give wings to the feet of service, and strength to the arms of labour.

 Fixed on God with a constancy that is not to be shaken, resolute to honour Him with a determination that is not to be turned aside, and pressing on with an ardour never to be wearied, let us manifest the constraints of love to Jesus. 

May the divine loadstone draw us heavenward towards itself.

"Keep not back."

"Keep not back."—Isaiah 43:6.

ALTHOUGH this message was sent to the south, and referred to the seed of Israel, it may profitably be a summons to ourselves.

 Backward we are naturally to all good things, and it is a lesson of grace to learn to go forward in the ways of God. 

Reader, are you unconverted, but do you desire to trust in the Lord Jesus?

 Then keep not back. 

Love invites you, the promises secure you success, the precious blood prepares the way.

 Let not sins or fears hinder you, but come to Jesus just as you are. 

Do you long to pray? Would you pour out your heart before the Lord? Keep not back.The mercy-seat is prepared for such as need mercy; a sinner's cries will prevail with God. 

You are invited, nay, you are commanded to pray, 

come therefore with boldness to the throne of grace.

Dear friend, are you already saved? 

Then keep not back from union with the Lord's people.

 Neglect not the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper. 

You may be of a timid disposition, but you must strive against it, lest it lead you into disobedience. There is a sweet promise made to those who confess Christ—by no means miss it, lest you come under the condemnation of those who deny Him. 

If you have talents keep not back from using them.

 Hoard not your wealth, waste not your time; let not your abilities rust or your influence be unused. 

Jesus kept not back, imitate Him by being foremost in self-denials and self-sacrifices. 

Keep not back from close communion with God, from boldly appropriating covenant blessings, from advancing in the divine life, from prying into the precious mysteries of the love of Christ. 

Neither, beloved friend, be guilty of keeping others back by your coldness, harshness, or suspicions. 

For Jesus' sake go forward yourself, and encourage others to do the like. 

Hell and the leaguered bands of superstition and infidelity are forward to the fight.

 O soldiers of the cross, keep not back.

"Grow up into Him in all things."

"Grow up into Him in all things."—Ephesians 4:15.

MANY Christians remain stunted and dwarfed in spiritual things, so as to present the same appearance year after year. 

No up-springing of advanced and refined feeling is manifest in them.

 They exist but do not "grow up into Him in all things."

 But should we rest content with being in the "green blade," when we might advance to "the ear," and eventually ripen into the "full corn in the ear?"

 Should we be satisfied to believe in Christ, and to say, "I am safe," without wishing to know in our own experience more of the fulness which is to be found in Him.

 It should not be so; we should, as good traders in heaven's market, covet to be enriched in the knowledge of Jesus.

 It is all very well to keep other men's vineyards, but we must not neglect our own spiritual growth and ripening.

 Why should it always be winter time in our hearts?

 We must have our seed time, it is true, but O for a spring time—yea, a summer season, which shall give promise of an early harvest.

 If we would ripen in grace, we must live near to Jesus—in His presence—ripened by the sunshine of His smiles.

We must hold sweet communion with Him.

 We must leave the distant view of His face and come near, as John did, and pillow our head on His breast; then shall we find ourselves advancing in holiness, in love, in faith, in hope—yea, in every precious gift. 

As the sun rises first on mountain-tops and gilds them with his light, 

and presents one of the most charming sights to the eye of the traveller; 

so is it one of the most delightful contemplations in the world to mark the glow of the Spirit's light on the head of some saint, who has risen up in spiritual stature, like Saul,

 above his fellows, till, like a mighty Alp, snow-capped, he reflects first among the chosen, 

the beams of the Sun of Righteousness, and bears the sheen of His effulgence high aloft for all to see, and seeing it, to glorify His Father which is in heaven.

"God, my Maker, who giveth songs in the night."

"God, my Maker, who giveth songs in the night."—Job 35:10.

ANY man can sing in the day. 

When the cup is full, man draws inspiration from it. 

When wealth rolls in abundance around him, any man can praise the God who gives a plenteous harvest or sends home a loaded argosy. 

It is easy enough for an Aeolian harp to whisper music when the winds blow—the difficulty is for music to swell forth when no wind is stirring. 

It is easy to sing when we can read the notes by daylight; but he is skilful who sings when there is not a ray of light to read by—who sings from his heart.

 No man can make a song in the night of himself; he may attempt it, but he will find that a song in the night must be divinely inspired.

 Let all things go well, I can weave songs, fashioning them wherever I go out of the flowers that grow upon my path; but put me in a desert, where no green thing grows, and wherewith shall I frame a hymn of praise to God?

 How shall a mortal man make a crown for the Lord where no jewels are? 

Let but this voice be clear, and this body full of health, and I can sing God's praise: silence my tongue, lay me upon the bed of languishing, and how shall I then chant God's high praises, unless He Himself give me the song?

 No, it is not in man's power to sing when all is adverse, unless an altar-coal shall touch his lip. 

It was a divine song, which Habakkuk sang, when in the night he said, "Although the fig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation." 

Then, since our Maker gives songs in the night, let us wait upon Him for the music. 

O Thou chief musician, let us not remain songless because affliction is upon us, but tune

 Thou our lips to the melody of thanksgiving.

"Babes in Christ."

"Babes in Christ."—1 Corinthians 3:1.

ARE you mourning, believer, because you are so weak in the divine life: because your faith is so little, your love so feeble?

 Cheer up, for you have cause for gratitude. 

Remember that in some things you are equal to the greatest and most full-grown Christian. 

You are as much bought with blood as he is. 

You are as much an adopted child of God as any other believer. 

An infant is as truly a child of its parents as is the full-grown man. 

You are as completely justified, for your justification is not a thing of degrees: your little faith has made you clean every whit. 

You have as much right to the precious things of the covenant as the most advanced believers, for your right to covenant mercies lies not in your growth, but in the covenant itself; and your faith in Jesus is not the measure, but the token of your inheritance in Him. 

You are as rich as the richest, if not in enjoyment, yet in real possession.

 The smallest star that gleams is set in heaven; the faintest ray of light has affinity with the great orb of day. 

In the family register of glory the small and the great are written with the same pen. 

You are as dear to your Father's heart as the greatest in the family. 

Jesus is very tender over you.

 You are like the smoking flax; a rougher spirit would say, "put out that smoking flax, it fills the room with an offensive odour!" but the smoking flax He will not quench. 

You are like a bruised reed; and any less tender hand than that of the Chief Musician would tread upon you or throw you away, but He will never break the bruised reed.

 Instead of being downcast by reason of what you are, you should triumph in Christ.

 Am I but little in Israel? 

Yet in Christ I am made to sit in heavenly places.

 Am I poor in faith? Still in Jesus I am heir of all things. 

Though "less than nothing I can boast, and vanity confess." yet, if the root of the matter be in me I will rejoice in the Lord, and glory in the God of my salvation.
