...some men saw but the sovereign quality in him, and they were either defiant or distrustful; others saw but the beauty and mercy, there was a cross for no one, a caress for everyone. But we must see both the cross and the throne if we would have a true conception of God. The text also shows the order of these qualities in the Christian life. The rainbow was about the throne; beauty is added unto strength. Dr. Gordon made some very practical applications of the proper use and control of the appetites. We get from the text the knowledge...

Nevertheless we would urge the necessity of caution in criticizing the action of the faculty. The hints dropped by the professors mentioned above...
...afternoon. He read a part of the seventeenth chapter of John, and selected the verse, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out except by prayer and fasting," as the text of his remarks. He said that God demands the spirit of prayer and fasting in every man who desires true success in any work. There are some men of brilliant genius to whom the favors of life come unsought who appear to be independent of this law; but the spontaneous success of their undisciplined genius are never permanent or satisfying. To possess the spirit of renunciation is the first essential...
