Speaking For Christ: Quotations from Burning Words

A kind word spoken for Christ may create a wider vibration in eternity than the grandest sermon by the greatest preacher.— C. GOWAND

A word spoken in season, at the right moment, is the mother of ages.— T. CARLYLE

O Christians! are you willing to walk the streets of heaven, and have no one greet you there? Would you be willing to go yourselves inside the gates and never have a soul to greet you and say, "I thank God for the kind words of sympathy and love you spoke on earth?"— JOSEPH CUMMINGS

Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee. It is a bad sign when a new-born babe has not lungs enough to make itself heard over the whole house. It is equally a bad symptom when the new convert is born dumb, and cannot find his voice to praise God audibly.— T. L. CUYLER
