P9 |_ "rest-cure"
P10 |_ Life. Life with a capital "L"--the vertical line of the L represents the life in contact with God; the horizontal line, the life in contact with our fellowmen. |_ The. The first essential is contact with God--the matter of our relationship with God is of supreme importance.
P11 |_ It. To be in right relationship with God means to be rich. |_ 2Corinthians 9:8 - And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: |_John 15:5 - I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. |_ 1John 3:23 - And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
P12 |_ This is a life that will appeal to young people to-day, for there is reality aboutit--it works. There is no expreience like it in all the world. It is a life in vital contact with God, a life of faith, life that believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and as an out come of that belief, shows forth His love to others. |_ "Trusted a million times!" w-- hieroglyphics

"Love one another." |_Matthew 14:21 - And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. |_ the. Once again, it is the same principle--first surrender, then service.

P16 |_ INCOMPATABLY THE BEST LIFE |_Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. |_Luke 5:27 -- And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. |_Luke 5:28 -- And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
P17 |_ Vital. questions. The first is, Is this life of victory, freedom, holiness and joy possible? |_ give personal evidence of the reality in therir own lives .. Or,. perhaps--and that might be more effective still--we might ask their wives to do it! |_Matthew 6:33 -- But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. |_ 19 -- Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

P19 |_ until. He always oasses by when there is a hungry soul in need. And what happened? Christ spoke first. If any of us are to come into blessing it must be because the Lord Jesus speaks to us. |_ once. He was not only intellectually converted; he was conveted from head to foot!
P20 |_ That. That was all; but it was enough. In factm it was everything. |_ What. He says to each of us: "Follow Me!" and everything of which I depends on our response. |_Luke 5:29 -- And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them. |_Matthew 9:10 -- And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
P21 |_ Matthew:. He is not int the picture. He in concerned only with his Lord! |_ the. The Lord does not destroy personality: He transforms it. |_ fellow. "How can I get hold of them? What scheme can I evolve? I will have a great feast; they will come to that!"

P25 |_ Thou. Never let me forget that Thou art looking over my shoulder." |_ all. And He calls you to rise up, and with your eyes upon Him to follow Him wherever He leads, even to the ends of the earth. There is no life like it! -- Put off the old, and put on the new! --
P26 |_ he. "I want to be quite frank with you. I do not want your buildings, for the whole of this place is going to ve levelled to the ground. What we want is the site, and on this spot we are going to erect a great power station which is to send elecreicity out into the villages and the cities in the south-east of England. Away, over in Guildfored, there will be a light shining that is fed from this places. Away yonderm right down to Dover, they will draw their power from here. We want the situation." What does the Lord require of us? \/\/- renounce |_ 2Corinthians 9:8 -- And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: <- 5 alls in it.
P28 |_ God's. A blessing is never fro ourselves alone; it must always be shared, or passed on to others. There are many Scriptures which illustrate this fact. |_Acts 1:8 -- But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. |_ :And. Thus, every time we have fellowship with our Lord, and come into living, vital touch with Him, we go out into the world with an added reponsibility laid upon us to pass on the good things we have received. \/\/- abound = overflow

P34 |_ very. but we are not catching fish! |_ Ask. Ask yourself: has prayer never been answered in your experience? Hace you never had a vision of the Lord? Do you know the ojy of sins forgiven" If so, then go and tell others. The size of the vessel does not matter, so long as it is filled to overflowing.
P35 |_ whisper. It is this, the overflow hides the vessel, so that when people look upon us, in a very real measure, they see none but Christ. Is there anything more wonderful than that? |_ reach. In the very doing of it we may be transformed into the image of our Lord. -- The overflowing life: 1) Clean 2) In Position 3) Full 4) Hidden by the overflow. - Chapter 4 - THE FRAGRANT LIFE.. |_James 4:14 -- Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
P36 |_ I. I found that it meant "visivle diffused matter," or "visivle, steam." The emphasis seemed to be on the word "visivle." There are some gases which are invisible, but a bapour apparently is something that can be seen.

At once I jumped into the boat, and loosing her, I pulled for all I was worth to the scene of the disaster. |_ so full that I dare not take in another, I lifted up my voice to God, and I cried, 'O God, for a bigger boat!'" |_ 1Chronicles 29:15 -- For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. |_Psalms 103:15 -- As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
P42 |_ for. Do not let us therefore waste a single day. |_ often. yet it is only the consecrated Christian who knows the true meaning of the sweetness of life. LIFE IS SWEET
P43 |_ so. It was only a vapour, but it was sweet. "What is your life?" It is only a vapour,m but it may be sweet. |_ Some. Some of our lives are rough and ugly material. Yet the Lord would paint His own likeness not only on such lives, but in our souls. He would full us with His own Spirit, so that we may go out and live lives that are sweet. |_Acts 12:5 -- Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

It is something more than making a decision for Christ--it means receiving Christ, giving Him a welcome, so that the incoming Lord sets the prisoner free from the chains that bind him, |_Acts 12:12 -- And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying. |_Acts 11:23 -- Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. |_ 2Corinthians 3:13 -- And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
