It Is Not He Who Reads Most, But He Who Meditates Most.

The choicest, sweetest, wisest, 
and strongest Christian!
(Thomas Brooks)

Remember that it is not hasty reading--
but serious meditation on holy and
heavenly truths, which makes them
prove sweet and profitable to the soul.

It is not the mere touching of the flower
by the bee which gathers honey--
but her abiding for a time on
the flower which draws
out the sweet.

It is not he who reads most,
but he who meditates most--
who will prove to be
the choicest, sweetest, 
wisest, and strongest Christian!
