Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world” (John 6:32-33).

Quite Enough for Luther

From Martin Luther’s Table Talk comes this anecdote:

“I cannot think what we shall find to do in heaven,” mused Luther. “No change, no work, no eating, no drinking, nothing to do.”

“Yes,” says Melanchthon, “Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us.”

“Why, of course,” responded Luther, “that sight will give us quite enough to do!”

Indestructible Sky

Mr. Einstein, the great scientist was strolling along the Princeton Promenade one beautiful starlit night. Looking up into the sky, and sighing wearily, he said, “Anyway, that the atom cannot destroy.”

Meeting at the Fountain

Many years ago when D. L. Moody was still busy in this country, there was an industrial exposition in Chicago. There was in the exposition ground a fountain which became the rendezvous for folk who arranged to meet each other. One would say to another, “Will you meet me at the fountain?” The answer was, “All right, I will meet you at the fountain.”

P. P. Bliss, the gospel song writer, was allured with this meeting place. He wrote the gospel song based on it, lifting the thought from the meeting place in the exposition ground to that higher meeting place, and he wrote this:

Will you meet me at the fountain,
When I reach the glory-land?
When you meet me at the fountain,
Shall I clasp your friendly hand?
Other friends will give you welcome;
Other loving voices cheer;
There’ll be music at the fountain—
Will you, will you meet me there?
