  • Sin stays not hid. It is writ large on the face of man. We do not fully know that book but the thing is plain.

    "February 28, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 431.
  • These days I have been reading verses from the Bible. Today I find the following : "And all things, whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

    "March 1, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 431.
  • "God is the Help of the helpless." The same idea is also expressed in Psalms, XXXIV. 18, which says : "The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."

    "March 2, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 431,432.
  • Isaiah, XLI. 10 has : "Fear thou not; for I am with thee."

    "March 3, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 432.
  • "Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength." Isaiah, XXVI. 4.

    "March 4, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 432.
  • Just as it is in the nature of water to flow downward, so also does vice drags man downward and is, therefore, undoutbtedly the easy way. Virtue takes a man upward and so appears to be rather difficult.

    "March 5, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 432.
  • "My grace is sufficient for thee : for my strength is made perfect in weakness." II Corinthians, XII. 9.

    "March 6, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 432.
  • "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalms, XLVI. 1.

    "March 7, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 432.
  • God's word is: "I am, was and ever shall be, I am everywhere and in everything." Knowing this, we turn away from God, seek refuge in that which is perishable and imperfect, and thus make ourselves miserable. Can there be anything more amazing?

    "March 8, 1945", CWMG, vol. LXXIX, p. 432.
  • We must not draw distinctions beween the East and the West. Everything must be judged on its merits. Thus alone can we do proper justice to things.
