EXTRACTS

The school of God is the oldest school in the universe; it has

turned out the greatest men that have ever been—the deepest

thinkers, and it will abide when all the other universities,

colleges and schools of this world are passed away. In His

school we learn to “prove what is the good and acceptable and

perfect will of God”.

J. Taylor (Vol. 34, p.166)

I want to know Him where He is at this moment; that is

Philippians 3 … You do not satisfy His heart about you if you

do not know Him there, nor can you be truly in service either.

You must get direction from Himself. No one can rightly serve,

but in communion with Him where He is. As a member of His

body I am placed there and, as I am there with Him, I learn to

be here for Him.

J. B. Stoney (Vol. 2, p.251)

There are plenty of miracles in the world at the present time. It

is quite a mistake to suppose this is not an age of miracles.

Miracles may be of a different character, but just as real

miracles as ever the Lord wrought when He was here upon

earth. I see a man converted as the effect of the preaching of

Christ; that is as great a miracle as any miracle the Lord

wrought.

You could not have a greater miracle or proof of power than

that you were converted to God … We are all miracles, and in

that way witnesses to Christ.

F. E. Raven (Vol. 18, p.96)

Grace acts with reference to our condition, but love acts to

satisfy itself.
