H. W. Beecher. John 3:14-15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:… As a general rule, self-contemplation is a power towards mischief. The only way to grow is to look out of one's self. There is too much introversion among Christians.

Beecher.)
