Many lose the opportunity eff saying a
kind word by waiting to weigh the matter
too long. Our best impulses are too deli
cate to endure much handling. If you fail
to give them expression the moment they
rise, they effervesce, evaporate and are
gone. If they do not turn sour, they be-
come fiat, losing all life and sparkle by
keeping. Speak promptly when you feel
kindly
| John Newton preached in an English
village Such was the Indifference that
only handful came to hear him. But
| among that little number was Scott, the
commentator. The sermon turned his
thoughts towards religion, and all the

preachers power does not lie SO much
in his brain as in his heart Let one
preacher be distinguished for the greatness
of his intellect, and another for the large
ness of his heart, and it will be found that
the latter is the more successful soul
winner. The philosophy of this fact is APP
parent. The heart is chiefly concerned
with the question of religion. 1t is the
heart that is estranged from God, which is
the citadel of hostility to the gospel, and
it is the aim of preaching to win. Love
alone can charm away hostility.
