Jesus’ Farewell Sermon
“I have spoken to you in this way so that you may not falter. They will expel you from their Synagogues; indeed the time is coming when any one who kills you will think that he is making an offering to God. They will do this, because they have not learnt to know the Father, or even me. But I have spoken to you of these things that, when the time for them comes, you may remember that I told you about them myself. I did not tell you all this at first, because I was with you. But now I am to return to him who sent me; and yet not one of you asks me— ‘Where are you going?’ although your hearts are full of sorrow at all that I have been saying to you. Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the Helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.”
—John.
The Need Of Spiritual Power
I do not think the world is dying for new ideas. A teacher has a high place amongst us, but someone is wanted here and abroad far more than a teacher. It is power we need; power that shall help us to solve our practical problems, power that shall help us to realise a high, individual spiritual life; power that shall make us daring enough to act out all we have seen in vision, all we have learnt in principle from Jesus Christ.
—C. A. Berry.
Life Ever Young
There is a life that remains ever young.
All through the day, all through the day,
Singing at evening the song it has sung
All through the length of the day;
Love is the glory that never grows old.
Keeping it light where the shadows have rolled,
All through the length of the day.
—George Matheson.
