To stoop low is a good work, if it be done in faith and love; though
but by a cup of cold water, it is really more worth in itself, and
of higher esteem with God, than all worldly and perishing glory.
When holiness is lovely and beautiful to the soul, and when the name
of Christ is more precious than life, then will the soul sit down
and be afflicted, because men keep not God's law. "I beheld the
transgressors, and was grieved, because they kept not thy word."
Psalm 119:158.
The heart that is fullest of good works has in it the least room for
Satan's temptations.
Souls rightly touched, will labor to draw not only their families,
but a whole city after Christ. John 4:28, 29.
