Thought for January 29

[Thought for the Day]

   The Prince of teachers, He sought access to the people by the pathway of
their most familiar associations. He presented the truth in such a way that
ever after it was to His hearers intertwined with their most hallowed
recollections and sympathies. He taught in a way that made them feel the
completeness of His  identification with their interests and happiness. His
instruction was so direct, His illustrations were so appropriate, His words
so sympathetic and cheerful, that His hearers were charmed. The simplicity
and earnestness with which He addressed the needy, hallowed every word.
