Hebrews 8:10-12 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, said the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind… A noted secular paper once prophesied concerning Moody and Sankey that Professor Tyndall would do more to purify London than "these men!" Professor Tyndall may help us to purify the atmosphere of our houses and streets, but what word has he ever dropped that would purify a human heart! He may discourse eloquently of "duty," but Plato could have done that; Aristotle did that. But who has not found out before he has had many years' experience in dealing with men, that what is needed is not so much to show men their duty as to get them to do it? To show men their duty yon want light, to get them to do it you want power, and the only adequate power is love. God's clearest light, God's mightiest power is in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ! (C. Clemance, D. D.)
