Switzerland, November 18th, 1853. Your letter, dear brother in the Lord, was very acceptable to me. It followed me from London, and found me in one of the more remote parts of this land, among the poor brethren in the mountains. I think I have delayed to answer it, as also many others, from a pressu... Read More

This is gleanings from G.V.W.'s ministry in Dublin in 1872. Ed.

If you were to put all the good works of every believer all together, do you suppose that would give a title to go on the cloud of glory with Christ into the Father... Read More

1 Cor. i. l0: Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ye all speak the same thing, that there be no divisions among you.'

"God commendeth His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8. In our text we are brought face to face with the Cross of Calvary, and we see that Cross standing in a light that glorifies it. That great transaction on Calvary may be viewed in many aspects,...

First, W HAT is the seed? Ans. The seed of God is the word of God; the seed of the kingdom is the word of the kingdom. It is a measure of the <339> light and life, of the grace and truth, which is by Jesus Christ, whereof in him is the fulness. It is a heavenly talent, or manifestation of his Spirit... Read More
