Excerpt: ...who were bitten with the same kind of madness. As some one has said: If we are mad, we have a good Keeper on the way and a good Asylum at the end of the road. One great trouble is that people come to special revival meetings, and for two or three weeks, perhaps, they will keep up the fire, but by and by it dies out.

Excerpt: ...who were bitten with the same kind of madness. As some one has said: If we are mad, we have a good Keeper on the way and a good Asylum at the end of the road.

Let me say a few words specially to Sabbath-school teachers. Let me urge upon you not to be satisfied with merely pointing the children away to the Lord Jesus Christ. There are so many teachers who go on sowing the seed, and who think they will reap the harvest by and by; but they do not look for the harvest now. I began to work in that way, and it was years before I saw any conversions. I believe God's method is that we should sow with one hand and reap with the other. The two should go on side by side. The idea that children must grow into manhood and womanhood before they can be brought to Jesus Christ is a false one.
