      <description>&lt;p&gt;Charles Spurgeon, &lt;em&gt;Mornings and Evenings, Morning October 5&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1 Kings 19:8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even so the Lord feeds and refreshes our souls that we may afterwards use our renewed strength in the promotion of his glory&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most of the ordinary people who lose their faith are not overthrown by philosophical argument; they lose faith because they Are disillusioned by the churchmen they meet. One sanctimonious hypocrite makes a hundred unbelievers. One little knot of gossips tearing a neighbour&amp;rsquo;s reputation apart on the church steps smashes the Sabbath to splinters. If we are to put it together again, we must be Christians indeed&amp;ndash;must show the rest of the world that a Christian gets something worth having out of his worship. It is not much use asking others to turn to God unless we set them the example. Let the church members behave like Christians seven days a week, and it is likely that the Sabbath will take care of itself. For how do you make a day holy? By seeing that it is holy already; and behaving accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
