Note:CHRISTIAN DISCOURSES: PART ONE: THE CARES OF THE PAGANS: The care of poverty -- The care of abundance -- The care of lowliness -- The care of loftiness -- The care of presumptuousness -- The care of self-torment -- The care of indecisiveness, vacillation, and disconsolateness -- PART TWO: STATES OF MIND IN THE STRIFE OF SUFFERING: The joy of it: that one suffers only once but is victorious eternally -- The joy of it: that hardship does not take away but procures hope -- The joy of it: that the poorer you become the richer you are able to make others -- The joy of it: that the weaker you become the stronger God becomes in you -- The joy of it: that what you lose temporally you gain eternally -- The joy of it: that when I "gain everything" I lose nothing at all -- The joy of it: that adversity is prosperity -- PART THREE: THOUGHTS THAT WOUND FROM BEHIND, FOR UPBUILDING: Watch your step when you go to the house of the Lord -- "See, we have left everything and followed you; what shall we have?" (Matthew 19:27) and what shall we have? -- All things must serve us for good, when we love God -- There will be the resurrection of the dead, of the righteous and of the unrighteous -- We are closer to salvation now, than when we became believers -- But it is blessed to suffer mockery for a good cause -- He was believed in the world -- PART FOUR: DISCOURSES AT THE COMMUNION ON FRIDAYS: Luke 22:15 -- Matthew 11:28 -- John 10:27 -- I Corinthians 11:23 -- II Timothy 2:12-13 -- I John 3:20 -- Luke 24:51 -- THE CRISIS AND A CRISIS IN THE LIFE OF AN ACTRESS -- ADDENDUM: PHISTER AS CAPTAIN SCIPIO.
