The Practise Still Lives

A most excellent, sensible article on "Exercise and Diet" will be found in our paper this week. It is worth more than many doctors' bills, except to the doctors. Read, practise, and be well.
The Practise Still Lives.—It is said that when a theological student asked Henry Ward Beecher what he did if his supply of thought happened to run out, the great preacher answered, "I holler." The practise probably did not originate with Beecher; it certainly survived him. There are still "hollerers." Moral: Do not speak without a message. When it is given, stop.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ.—There are many who are waiting till Christ's second coming for his revelation or disclosure. But God does not want us to wait till that time. Even as he revealed himself in Paul (Gal. 1: 16), so would he reveal himself in every one of us, in order that we might show forth his praises, excellences, virtues, to the world. He would have Christ revealed as far as his people can reveal him to sinful men now; the fulness of his glory will be revealed when he comes and we see "the King in his beauty."
To the Uttermost.—Jesus is able to save to the uttermost all who will come unto God by him. He says so in his Word. Heb. 7: 25. There is no limit to his power to save. The lowest living man has not yet become dead, utterly corrupt physically. But Jesus is able to raise the dead, and did. This is his pledge of saving every sinful soul. Howsoever dark the sins, howsoever black the record of the past life, if you desire to be rid of it and become a new man or woman in Christ Jesus, go to him. He will not turn you away. He will welcome you, heal you, save you, even to the uttermost, if you will let him. Will you not?
