George Kulp

      George Brubaker Kulp was born in Philadelphia on July 23, 1845. At the age of 16, although underage, he enlisted in the Union Army, (Co. E, 91st PA) on July 22, 1862. In April of 1863 he was captured and spent the next several months in a Confederate prison. Upon his release it was discovered that he was underage, so he was discharged.

      Within ten years Kulp was married and preaching in Pennsylvania. Founding and pastoring several churches in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nebraska, as well as writing many articles and books, Kulp was known as a fiery, no-nonsense evangelist preacher. He died, having served the Lord for many years, at the age of 93.

Cry Out, and Shout, Thou Inhabitant of Zion

Before proceeding to the chamber where the good man met the last enemy, and conquered through grace, we will consider one phase of the meetings in which Mr. Smith engaged, that often aroused the antagonism of the formal and churchy, and at the same time drew the curious to increase the numbers that ...

Eternity

Eternity. The subject for our consideration, which is suggested by our text, is one in which all are interested. Tomorrow is Eternity.

Experience

TO SAVE HIS MOTHER We have had a German baron among us, Baron von Karlstein, who has written a book about New York and its inhabitants.

Give Me Souls, or I Die

God's Care

I know one of God's children who has been shut in for ten long years or more, and in these years has learned such lessons of perfect trust that Heaven is very near all the time.

Hopeless To Fight Against God

"The stars in their courses fought against Sisera." Judges 5:20 On the back of the Book from which my text is taken I find these words -- Holy Bible.

How Readest Thou?

Luke 10:26 -- "How readest thou?"

Many persons were anxious to know wh... Read More

It is Written

Rom. 10:15 -- "It is written." I have very little regard for that method of using the Bible that will permit one to open it at random, put the finger on the verse, and then take it as a message from God. It lacks common sense. One might as well go in a drug store, shut your eyes and reach out your h... Read More

THE LIVING FOUNTAIN In a village on the Welsh coast, the people fetch all their water from a well. "Is this spring ever dry?" I inquired. "Dry? Yes, ma'am; very often in hot weather."

Prayer

NO SIZE IN PRAYER I remember hearing it said of a godly man, "Mr. So and-so is a gracious man, but he is very strange; for the other day he prayed to God about a key he had lost."
