Maxims - A hymn, like milk and honey

A hymn, like milk and honey, is the outflow of a life that has learned lessons and is dealt with

Sister Barber really knew how to help others. Once Brother Nee wrote several good hymns in one night. He thought he would receive a compliment, but instead Sister Barber poured cold water on him. She said, “A hymn, like milk and honey, is the outflow of a life that has learned lessons and is dealt with. This cannot happen in one day and one night.”
