This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913. Excerpt: ... The widow is dead and buried, and no man knows who or what she was. Two thousand years have passed away, yet the spiritual force expressed in those two mites is working in the world in an ever-widening circle. It exercises an influence far greater to-day than a thousand years ago. A thousand years hence it will exercise an influence far greater than it does to-day.

It need not be, it should not be, a mere piece of metal. A mere piece of metal cannot effect any spiritual work. It is bound by all the limitations of the world. But filled with the Spirit it overleaps all those limitations. As vehicles of Divine compassion and desire, pieces of metal do convert the world, do bring the Gospel of our Lord to heathen souls, do build up a spiritual temple, do bring near a Eevelation of Jesus Christ. They work in China, or in India, or in the islands of the sea, in the furthest bounds of the globe. Whither the Spirit is to go they go, what the Spirit is to work they work, for the Spirit of the Lord is upon them. (6) The spiritual force transcends material weights and measures. It is not bound by the limitations of its instruments. We recognize this in our common dealing with mate...
