If the church is to impress the world with the deathless hope of the everlasting gospel, she must be animated by that hope herself. She cannot communicate what she does not possess.
Every hand and every hour should be devoted to rescue the world from its insanity of guilt, and to assuage the pangs of human hearts with balm and anodyne. To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike.
