The Power of Truth.

By E. ENGLIES

It takes but a very small portion of truth to convert the soul, if it only receives application from above; and without this opening of the eyes to behold wondrous things out of God's law, one would in vain concentrate the light of seven days upon one sightless eyeball. A single summons, consisting of only two words, “Follow me,” severed the connection between the heart of Matthew, and his place at the money-changer's table. One sentence brings Zaccheus joyfully down from the tree to the feet of Christ. One declaration, uttered in a breath, sent away the woman that was a sinner, penitent and relieved, from the house of the Pharisee.
