PRAY FOR GREATER REVIVAL FLOODS ON ALL ASSEMBLIES DURING 1929
Vol. 5. No. 1
JANUARY, 1929
OVERFLOWING LIFE
MR. WILLIAM E. BOOTH-CLIBBORN
r^1
The subject of this discourse is
'' The Overflow , of* Life in the Christian Experience." If you will turn
with me to the latter part of the
ioth verse of the ioth chapter of John's
Gospel we will smidy a statement from the
lips of Christ: /" I am come that they
might have life, and
that THEY MIGHT
HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY." The original reads thus—
" Have it in/ excess," or 'I too
much.''
First: Let us consider Life.—Taere is
not a man that does
not love lifet and
cling to it as long as
possible. We have
only to pourtray
certain incidents, as
the sinking of a
steamer, or a serious public calamity
such as an earthquake or a tornado,
to realise how a
man will struggle
for life and give up
all he has to retain it. We have only to
walk through the wards of a hospital and
see how wealthy men think nothing of
pouring out thousands of dollars to effect
a cure in order to cleave to life. Satan
sometimes tells the truth when it fits his
purpose. He spoke the truth when he

TO ALL OUR READERS

'Overflowing IRewJ^ear'
Overflowing life, overflowing
service, overflowing power, over'
flowing prayer, overflowing sacri'
fice, overflowing joy; a super*
abundance of all that is Divine,
eternal, spiritual and heavenly.
The Lord grant unto us one
and all an overflowing 1929.
Your servant for His sake.

<o«oao*o*o«o«o*oao*oaoao*o*o«oao*o«oao
said, "... yea, all that a man hath will
he give for his life " (Job ii. 4). God did
not deny the statement. Life is inestimably precious; we are here but once; only
one person was ever born in your mould ;
your nature, your characteristics', your
face and form are original, and there
never has been nor
will be a duplicate
of it. Therefore
your chief natural
instinct is self-preservation : the next,
to make most of
your life. If this be
so naturally, how
much more so
spiritually!
Second: Let us
consider the Expression of Life.—
Now we know many
people, though physically alive, are
really " dead."
Many are alive, but
that is just about
all.; they can scarcely drag one leg after
another; some have
to be led by the
hand. Others eat herbs—diet devotees !
How many merely lead a hot-house existence; flabby muscles, inert dispositions,
insipid faces, bloated with fat: or the
other extreme—anaemic, bloodless ! Exertion exhausts and prostrates them. To
