He who has believed in Jesus for himself will be hopeful for his fellows. This hopefulness is a great assistance in doing good. Many have failed to save others because they had no faith in the possibility of saving them. A genuine Christian despairs of no man since he has found grace himself. The Word which had power with his own mind may well enough influence others: hence he would attempt to convert the Pope or the Grand Turk if he had the opportunity; and, failing these, he sets to work upon the first who offer themselves. A living faith is a propagating faith. If thou hast no concern for the soul of thy neighbour, it is time that thou hadst a fear as to thine own soul.
