Christmas Day Is A Day Of Joy

Devotion Is Like The Candle Which Michael Angelo Used To Take In His Pasteboard Cap, So As Not To Throw His Shadow Upon The Work In Which He Was Engaged.

The Essence Of That By Which Jesus Overcame The World Was Not Suffering, But Obedience. Yes, Men May Puzzle Themselves And Their Hearers Over The Question Where The Power Of The Life Of Jesus And The Death Of Jesus Lay; But The Soul Of The Christian Always Knows That It Lay In The Obedience Of Christ. He Was Determined At Every Sacrifice To Do His Father's Will. Let Us Remember That; And The Power Of Christ's Sacrifice May Enter Into Us, And Some Little Share Of The Redemption Of The World May Come Through Us, As The Great Work Came Through Him.

Let Us Beware Of Losing Our Enthusiasms. Let Us Ever Glory In Something, And Strive To Retain Our Admiration For All That Would Ennoble, And Our Interest In All That Would Enrich And Beautify Our Life.

The Faith Which You Keep Must Be A Faith That Demands Obedience, And You Can Keep It Only By Obeying It.

Everywhere The Flower Of Obedience Is Intelligence. Obey A Man With Cordial Loyalty And You Will Understand Him.
