Christian Character

By J.R. Miller


Family devotions	Two men look at the same scene	Christian liberty
Black seeds without beauty	Think about such things!'	Our best striving
We are not saved	What a man IS	True religion
Work out your own salvation	Life comes to us	The questions
God has three axes!	An ox stands between	A time to laugh!
The grace of forbearance	This is a wonderful secret	We might find it filled
Our own imperfections	The subtle beginnings	Do it!
We could not make	The little book	How shall we endure
He will sustain you!	The rough stalk of suffering	He always lives
Until His image burns	Ladder-rungs	Some day I shall
Every word is practical	Only as Christ	All wrongs will then be righted
The only thing	There are always more	Is Jesus like anybody
Much of our best work	The best we can bring	First there comes bitterness
Let us remember	The faith which	We may take
The Master adds	All of life's	Then He will tell us
Your weakness	This lesson makes life '	Longing
The unconscious	Repulsive, blotched	If we met ourselves
Sparing them struggles	The lesson may be hard	If we see life with
God's most effective	Leaving the ordering	A PARABLE
Our lives	Never, Lord	Until they are vanishing
Bring the boy here to Me	The secret of being content	He has given us
When others wrong us	It is not easy	Our life-building
The most humble	Beautiful endings	Throw that worthless
Only the living	The sweeping away	The alabaster jars
What a wondrous sphere	He gives always	Seeds of kindness
The law of Christian	Not doing the things	Spiritual building
The castaway	Not unto us!	The true conception
We may not seek	Do we understand	It is more blessed
An easy, self-indulgent life	Able to overcome	The loneliest
The plodders	We should bring our best	A bitter cup is given
This invests every Christian's	Good and evil	Life is conflict
Perhaps few of us	Suppose one of you	The God also
If we could change	Does God give more	Practice-lessons
No prayer,	This wonderful system	Heavenly influences
The root	There is no temper	Go to the homes
The best way	Here is a little orphan child	A mere dreary treadmill life
Come with Me	Though all seems lost	Our hours of communion with Christ
Why, mamma,	Eyes of love'	Beautiful homes!
His transforming presence	We are in Divine keeping	The world crowns success
The old monks	Enforced rest	The way to spiritual health
The only really happy	Our commonest work	Grace in the heart
The lesson of peace	Step by step	The charm of all
A happy heart	There are times	Well, I must walk now
Reckless words	The highest place	She has done
We walk amid	Little portions'	When I am weak'
Let Him do what seems	All of life's lessons	He sits constantly
Those who drink	Judging of others	Cut it off and throw it away
He continually stands	Your daughter is dead!	True worship
The blessedness and glory	A messenger from God	A lesson from the lily
The struggle does us good!	God's messengers	The furnace fires of sickness
Christ keeps a memorial	The faults and the infirmities	Long unbroken years
The heart of consecration	They first gave themselves	The best evidences
Emotional religion	Our mission in the world	God's thoughts
Make it your ambition	This is the secret	Do it with all your might!
The touch of the Master's hand	A truer measure	Divine sympathy
Sculpture His sweet beauty	The love of Christ	Crushed like a lily
May not many of us learn	The Christian's dress	Seeds of kindness'
WRECKS!	Weary men and women	Foot washing
The companion of fools	Do not work for the food'	Means of grace
Just one little step at a time	The gentle fingers of love	He will take pity
If someone is caught in a sin	The countless humble	Temporary defeats
It is to him who is faithful	Have I been with you so long	When we come to the hard,
How may we grow	If we find others in sorrow	The transfigured life
We are too stinting	That is the very best	The way to make our lives
Devotion to God	Spiritual longing	The merciful hand
The comfort of sympathy	We need to be on our guard	A beautiful, wise,
The piety which best pleases Christ	Don't do it!	What a beautiful thought of dying!
Private prayer	We are both better	Immeasurably
Love's ministry	If He were here Himself	Out of its bitterness
Choosing our friends	Dying grace	A miracle
True repentance	Truth must be wrought	Our little nothings
The richest blessings	No wonder husbands	Until we begin
It is impossible to avoid worrying	Our eyes did not discern	Christ continually comes
Those who sow in tears	It shall accomplish	The Gate of Life
Christ alone can make	Defeats in life	No day is commonplace
How good is a timely word!	Peace is a high attainment	Look close about our feet
The transforming touch!	Speaking the truth in love	The blessing comes through the serving
Death'	Everything is beautiful in its time	Is His silence a refusal?
No being in the universe	What these things cost	Heralds of hope!
Death does not come	Consecration'	When He comes to us
Visitors to the Mammoth Cave	Life in solitude grows selfish	Helping others
Many of God's children	Let your light shine	Our refuge
There are no promises	The hand of faith	Holiness of character
The bane of spiritual good	'
