THE ROPE HELD by ADELA ROGERS ST. JOHNS
Sometimes on sunny days, when I could see my way and feel the pathway firm under my feet, I wondered--Would the rope hold if the worst happened?
A bent old man brought me that telegram which in war years hung like a suspended sword over the heart of every

[100]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – GLORY AND ADORATION TO THE LORD
WHAT ABOUT THIS POEM?
This poem, of all my poems, is my number one favourite and the most satisfying for me. It was a joy to write and a joy to contemplate the Lord while doing so. I think it speaks for itself in the meditation

Here’s an interesting fact that a study revealed several years ago but I imagine still holds true today: 7% of the impact of a speaker’s message comes through his words, 38% springs from the speaker’s tone of voice, and 55% from non-verbals. If this is true, that only 7% of what we say

At Christmas we see more kindness. Last Friday, my wife went to get some coffee at Starbucks and went through the drive through. When she pulled to get her coffee and pay for it, the clerk said someone else had paid for it. It was a random act of kindness, and we

E.M. Bounds is right when he says, "What the Church needs today is not more machinery or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use— men of prayer, men mighty in prayer.

Almost ten years ago, I taught a Life Science class at Mission High School in San Francisco. The class was made up of students who didn’t want to take Biology and failed Life Science at least once before, some more than once. Many days, I would have students who came to class from the police

HOW YOU FINISH
James was excited as he turned the two hundred mark heading towards home. Two and three-quarter laps had gone and he was still in the lead. His one and only goal was to win this race and he was full of confidence that he could do it. His thoughts race ahead to the podium, the

Ask for a volunteer. Give them the radio and ask them to turn it on. What can they hear? (This should be nothing more than a hiss.) Then ask your volunteer to turn the tuning dial. Stop them when a programme can be clearly heard.
God wants us to hear what he is saying, but it is no use just

Philip Yancey, in his book, The Jesus I Never Knew, gives this illustration: "George Buttrick, former chaplain at Harvard, recalls that students would come into his office, plop down on a chair and declare, ’I don’t believe in God.’ Buttrick would give this disarming reply: ’Sit down and tell me

Have you ever used a magnifying glass? What is the purpose of a magnifying glass?
A magnifying glass does several things: it makes the object look bigger thus making it easier to examine and see. It also brings the object into greater focus, enabling us to see detail we would not be able to see

Assumptions can be quite dangerous. For example, the photographer for a national magazine was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene hampered him and he asked his home office to hire a plane. Arrangements were made and he was told to go at once to a nearby airport, where

Three monkeys sat on a coconut tree,
Discussing things as they are said to be,
Said one monkey to the other :
"Now listen you two, there’s a certain rumor which can’t be true,
