Thoughts for the Quiet Hour








August 7

  Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus
        Heb. 12:1, 2

Ask yourself of any habit that belongs to your own personal life, and bring it face to face with Jesus Christ.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
