  • The Breakfast By The Sea

    ON THE NIGHT before the death of Jesus, at the supper he had said to the twelve disciples, “After I have risen from the dead, I will go before you to Galilee.” And after rising from his tomb, he had said to the women, “Go and tell my disciples that I will meet them on […]

  • Two Sunday Evenings With The Risen Christ

    THE MEETING place of all who believed in Jesus, after his death on the cross, seems to have been the upstairs room, where Jesus had his last supper. There they met from day to day; and it was to this place that the two men came from Emmaus with the report of their meeting with […]

  • A Walk With The Risen Christ

    WHEN JESUS was seen after he rose from the tomb, it was called an “appearance” because Jesus appeared to someone. His first appearance, as you have read, was to Mary Magdalene; his second appearance was to the other women; and his third appearance was to two men walking out into the country on that first […]

  • Jesus Before Caiaphas

    THE HIGH PRIEST Caiaphas, before whom Jesus was now brought for a regular trial, had been in office many years. He was a shrewd, sharp man, caring very little about right or wrong, but always ready to do whatever would please the Jewish leaders, without giving offence to the Roman rulers. You remember that after […]

  • Samuel And Eli

    He was such a pretty little fellow with dancing black eyes and curly head, and he was going on a journey with his parents, Elkanah and Hannah. It was his first journey, and he could hardly wait for them to start. A few hours is a long time to a boy only three years old. […]

  • The Little Maid Of Gilead

    JEPHTHAH’S DAUGHTER All people have birthdays once a year. ” My sister has a birthday only every four years,” interrupts one of my listeners. A leap year baby she must be. Think of it, her first birth-day cake can have four candles on it! But did you ever hear of anyone having four birthdays in […]

  • Ruth And Naomi

    A little bird once told me that all young people, big and little, love a love story; so I’m going to tell you one. If you will turn to the Book of Ruth in the Old Testament—Now what is the matter? Why do some of you girls look so disappointed and say, ” The Old […]

  • The Scarlet Cord

    RAHAB AND THE SPIES A number of frightened people were running back and forth upon the city walls. From the strong towers upon those walls warriors were anxiously watching a cloud of dust darkening the horizon. It had been there yesterday, but today it was rolling nearer and nearer to Jericho. Not a dweller in […]

  • Opened Eyes – Balaam Cursing Israel

    To-day go up with me into a high mountain. From its peak there is a view, a most wonderful view, that I want you all to see. No, you will not need a field glass. The air is clear and your eyes keen, so that you will miss none of its beauty. Glasses are not […]

  • The Turning Back Of Israel From The Promised Land

    Have you ever visited a military camp? If you have, and the soldiers had marched for months through dust and heat, often going for days with little or no water, and had just reached a place where water was plentiful and they could pitch their tents and rest, you have seen a camp something like […]
