Today’s Quote
The sweetest life is the one which nestles the most quietly and unquestioningly in the bosom of Jesus.
— J.R. Miller
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
A little stay on earth will make Heaven more heavenly. Nothing makes rest so sweet as toil. Our battered armor and scarred countenances will render more illustrious our victory above, when we are welcomed to the seats of those who have overcome the world. We should not have full fellowship with Christ
if we did not for a while sojourn below, for he was baptized with a baptism of suffering among men, and we must be baptized with the same if we would share his kingdom. Fellowship with Christ is so honorable that the sorest sorrow is a light price by which to procure it.

We saw in Venice a picture of St. Mark and other holy champions delivering the fair city from the devil, who had resolved to raise a great storm in the Adriatic, flood the lagunes, and drown the inhabitants of the "Bride of the sea." The picture was all
mere legend; but, for all that, the fable is capable of mirroring the grand truth that through the intercession of saints, and God's peculiar regard for them, cities and nations have often been saved.
